LATEST SPANISH ATROCITY.
Alleged Alliance Between the United
States and japan.

LONDON, January IA dispatch 10
the Central News from Madrid says that
NJ. de Guerville, who accompanied the
Japanese staff officers during the late
Chinese-Japanese war, delivered lee
ture tonight before the Madrid Geograph-
zeal Society. In the course of his lecture
he dwelt upon Japan's growing power
and the change which had occurred In her
position among the nations of the world
laying particular stress upon her political
relations with other Powers. He asserted
that Japan and the United States had
agreed to conclude an alliance, fact, ne
declared, which justified the uneasiness
felt regarding Japans attitude In the
Philippine Islands, where she had ini-
tiated hostility to Spain, her aspiration
being to possess the islands. NJ. de Guer-
Vile gave no authority for his assertion
regarding an alliance between the United
States and Japan. and outside OF those
who are incensed against the United
States for her attitude on the Cuban
question, no reliance whatever is placed
i'm his statement.
