WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Japanese
legation has received cable information of
several Cabinet changes, one of which, Mr..
Matsu-Gata, to be Minister of Finance, has
not yet been announced. Field Marshal
Yamagata, who was in command of the
first army until he became i'll, now be-
comes Minister of War. The place was oc-
cupied temporarily by Marshal Oyama, the
hero of Port Arthur, who now returns to
the field. The new Minister of Finance is
one of the foremost statesmen of the East
on the money question, and he has had
charge of Japans financial affairs at former
times. These Cabinet changes and the APP
pointment of Prince Komatsu as command
er-in-chief of all the military forces of
Japan are regarded as having a significant
bearing on the peace negotiations now in
progress, and as clearing the way for the
declaration of an armistice and a cessa-
ton of hostilities. The new Minister of
Finance will have charge of the mormon
cash indemnity in gold or silver to be paid
by China. Prince komatsu, the command
