WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. - Minister
Kurino, of Japan, was delighted to hear
of the capture of Wei Hal Wei by his
countrymen. He had been expecting
to hear it, but his first notification came
through the Associated Press.
A dispatch was received at the Japan
csc legation from the minister of for
eign affairs, saying that the peace en-
vows were expected 10 arrive at HlrOSn-
ina today, and would be received with
all the hOnorS decreed in such cases by
international law. Speaking of the diss
patch, Minister KurlnO expressed the
fear that the peace negotiations might
fail.
''If such should be the case" he said,
it will be entirely China's fault. We
have repeatedly stated publicly that
our conterrees, Count ito and Count
Mutsu, had full power to treat,
aud we have demanded that the
Chinese ENJOYS should be similarly
commissioned. Although we cannot
tell absolutely until their credentials
are presented, it now appears that the
latter have not power to agree aDso-
luteIY TO anything. Under these con-
dtions we shall probably decline to
treat, and in that case the blame will
rest entirely Oh China"

In conversation with the correspon-

high wind was raging. do not know
who ordered them there, did not hear
the captain give the order, but the Off
GERS did their best to reassure us.saying
that there was plenty of room for every
one in the boats."

OF the ElOe, said in an interview:
THE Wild Flower was east-south.
east off LOwestoft, with our TRAVELLING
gear down. at II a. III. on Wed esday,
when we sighted ships boat with
something tiuttering from it's mask. l
could see water breaking into the boat.
when we got near enough we threw
them ropes end, but the men IN the
boat were so benumbed with cold that
they could not hold on to it. We finally
made fast to them, and hauled the boat
up to the smack. When half of the
persons rescued had jumped on board
the rope parted. and the remainder of
them were again adrift in heavy sea.
after much difficulty. another line
was made fast to the boat and all on
board of her were taken aboard the
Wild Flower. There was a woman lying
i'll the bottom of the boat with a long
coat on and no shoes On her feet. She
had no dress underneath the coat. and
was terribly cold. l am sure that in
another hour several of the persons we
rescued would have been frozen stiff"
