INSISTS THAT PROTESTS MUST
BE MADE EFFECTIVE
AGAINST U. S.
Marquis Ito Thinks japan Had A
Tougher Job With China Than
She Will Have With U. S.
japan Would Regard An
nexatiOn As The Be-
ginning Of War.

New York, July IA special to the
Herald from Paris says:
The Figaro publishes an article bear
ing on the relations between the Unit
ed States and Japan. Its Importance
is heightened by the manifest indica-
tons it bears of being inspired" for
only those in the inner circle of Japan
csc affairs could possibly have given
the Figaro any idea of the object which
has caused the Marquis Ito to come to
Paris at this particular juncture. The
article, which is headed The Voyage
of Marquis to-" follows:
Marquis Ito has been in Paris since
Sunday and is stopping at the Hotel
Continental, where his apartments
have been reserved by the cares of the
legation. This astute, energetic and
very amiable diplomatist is now busy
dealing with the delicate situation
created in Japan by the pretentions of
the United States in the matter of the
annexation of the Sandwich Islands.
1t appears that he comes to Europe TO
protest most energetically in the name
OF his government against what he
called a usurpation big with dangers,
and he declares to his friends that ia
pan, which has had to struggle against
greater. difficulties at the time of the
war with China, will go on to the end
with the United States.
I'VE must, therefore, not be surpris-
ed If one of these days we have TO an
nounce a rupture of the relations be-
tween these two countries In the case
annexation projects are maintained.
This would not, probably, mean de-
claration of war, but it would be the
beginning of hostilities, more or less
open, the result of which would be
harmful and which might have in
store surprises of all kinds, for thirty
thousand japanese, almost all veteran
soldiers, are already living in the Ha-
waiian islands, and the natives of the
country hardly number as many.
THE object of the Marquis Ito's
journey is to point out to Europe
rather too neglectful, according to him
the peril of this annexation to which
the vigorous Japanese people, still un-
der the spell of it's victories, is oppos-
ed to the utmost
In any case this journey and the
complications foreseen by the Marquis
Ito strangely confirm the fears al
ready expressed in America by
thoughtful men,"

OF what he thought was a litter of
puppies. Mr.. Chabot was advised of
MS md and guided by the boy was
taken to the place. Mr. c. crawled
under and imagine his surprise when
he found Princess nursing little kit

ANGLo-sAXoN WILL co AHEAD

New York, July PA special to the
Herald from Paris says:
The Herald's European edition pub
fishes the following editorial under the
heading:
What's Japan Got to Say About
TIP"
I'VE publish special dispatch con-
firming one printed in the Temps, rel
alive to the protest of Japan against
the annexation of Hawaii by the Unit
ed States.
I'VE do not think that the United
States can even entertain the protest
concerning its policy from any nom
AnglO-SaXon race. England is an
Anglo-Saxon race, pure and simple,
and has for the last 200 years govern
ed the world by it's common sense,
force and civilizing instincts, and to-
day, eighty-three millions of the Ang-
lo-Saxon race across the water find
themselves confronted with one of
those Monaghan, Indian and Austral-
asian continents. We know very well
what England would do under the
circumstances, and we trust that the
United States will do the
same.

JUDGE COOLEY BROKEN DOWN.

Ann Arbor, Michigan July 27.--Judge
Thomas NJ. Cooley has been taken to
a sanitarium located at Flint, Mich.
Judge Cooley's break down can be
said to date from the time he resigned
from the interstate commerce COM
mission in 1891. When connected
with the commission he plunged deep
ly into the intricacies OF railroad and
commercial affairs with an ardor which
while it gave him a wider, If not more
enduring fame, could not help but tell
upon his constitution, already impair
ed by age and overwork.
Judge Cooley is 70 years of age and
was elected to three terms in the Mich
igan Supreme court. He also publish
ed many text books and revised and
edited those of other authors. There
is but little hope of his recovery, his
mind having almost entirely left him.
Still at times he is permectiy rational
and speaks of his infirmity.

veys the information that the Japanese
government will forward to Honolulu
in the latter part of July, 1900 Japan
csc emigrants. Those individuals are
now in the garrison at Neegata, being
soldiers in the Japanese service and
will go on shore in Honolulu as sim
pie citizens, but drilled and ready for
military service at once. The steam

have been chartered by the Japan

TO the 1880 passengers, arms, ammu-
milton and military stores of sufficient
quantity to make il interesting for any
party trying to prevent their landing.
In addition three large men of war are
already prepared to leave YokohOma
to arrive at Honolulu at about the
same time as the landing of the So
called emigrants will take place. The

CUBAN PATRIOTS ARRIVE.
Gomez's Adujutant General is in the
United States.

| united states.
New York, July 27.-Four Cuban pa
triots are at Asbury park, n. ]. They
are Gen. f. o. Lombro, Jose Frias, r.
Garcia Capote and S. C. Murray. Gen.
Lombro is adjutant general under Go
mez and has served year and half
without cessation from duty. This
has so affected his general health as
| to make a rest an imperative neces-
| sity.
The general said in an interview:
Il left Cuba for Trinidad, which lies
! between two forts, and from there L,
took a coast steamer bound for HaY-
ana Upon my arrival at Havana,
Immediately embarked for the United
States and reached New York in safe
ty., l was thoroughly disguised and
passed the Spanish lines without their
detection.
II have taken part in several fierce
and bloody battles, including the siege
of Cascoro; battles of Las Delicer,
Majagigua, Cangrejo, Vegintas and
several others. In the battle of Maja-
gigua l was wounded in the hip by
rifle ball and carried from the field.
However, 1 soon recovered and return
ed TO my old post. When / left Cuba
there were thirty-five thousand SOL
ders in the different hospitals at Hav-
ana.
The insurgents in Cuba are as strong
and persistent today as a year ago.
In my opinion the war will come to an
end in from four to six months, as the
Cubans are gaining ground daily and
the Spanish troops are discouraged
Gen Weyler is only trying to exter-
inmate the farming class of people
and this he does by cold-blooded muir
der. Our troops are in excellent con-
dition and if necessary can hold out
to the last"
Gen. Lombro added that when ne
left, the insurgents were about to
make an invasion upon the western
district.
1t is the present intent of Gen. Lom-
bro to return to Cuba about the first
week in September.
