Justo Garcia velcz. the son OF the Cuban Gem
eral. Calixto Garcia, whose escape from the
penal colony OF Spain in tho ChafArinas Islands

afterward started for Long Branch. where tho
Garcia family is passing the summer. Garcia
said yesterday:
1T is useless that ! should say that I heartily
sympathize with the cause OF Cuban indcpend-
ence: but 1t was outrageous on the part OF the
Spanish Government 10 transport me To tho
Chafarinas Islands unless II be declared that they
had tho right to punish me because my father
was fighting against them. I was not In any
way implicated in the revolutionary movement.

JAPAN AND rHE NICARAGUA oANAL.
mat Government Declined - Guarantee nts
Neutrality witheut Our Consent.

Neutrality without Our Cousent.
WARRINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE authorities Of the
Greater Republic of Central America have been
attempting to secure tho cooperation of japan
In guaranteeing the construction OF the Near
aqua Canal, but have mot with no success.
Japan has never given tho slightest encourage
mont to suggestions that she should take some
positive action In theamatter independent Of the
United States. After the war between China
and Japan tho Japanese Government sought to
make new agreements with all tho treaty powers,
and among othor countries with which ncgotia-
tions were conducted was Nicaragua. This was
before tho organization Of the Greater Republic
Of Central America. Naturally tho maritime
canal question camo up, and the Nicaragua
authorities suggested that Japan should take n
hand in carrying out the project. Japan, how
ever, absolutely declined to make any such
agreement without tho knowledge or consent of
the United States, and the topic was dropped.
Recently, in tho course Of the negotiation OF n
new treaty between Japan and the Greater Re-
public, a proposition was made BY. Mr.. Rodri-
guez, the Greater Republics Minister In Wash
lngton. that the canal be guaranteed BY Japan,
or that Japan guarantee the neutrality OF tho
Proposed Waterway; Tho answer q Japan
United States and fully acquiescod in the Mon.
Japanese Government absolutely declined. to
give. but 1t expressed a willingness 70 give
iurtner CONSIDERATION 70 the proposition III otnor
maritime nations would Join in the guarantee.
An express stipulation was made. however, that
Japan would take no part In the matter unless
tho Government of the United States showed q
favorable disposition toward the scheme.
The Japanese Government went so far as to
submit the proposition Of tho Greater Republic
to the State Department, with o request for an
opinion rs to the position of the United States.
No official answer has ever been returned, and
the matter has been dropped SO far as Japan 10
concerned. The story that Japan is negotiating
with tho Greater Republic to secure control OF
the canal 10 viewed with amusement here.
You. might as we'll talk about tho United
Japan constructing the Nicaragua Canal"
said an official to-day.

CANADA LOOKING FOR Trade.
Doing Her best TO Develop Business with
Mexico and south America.

OTTAWA. Sept. 1.-The Dominion Govern
ment is making the most strenuous efforts to
develop trade relations with Mexico and the
South American republics. Mr.. D.. NJ. Renni0
OF Buenos Ayrcs has recently been in Ottawa,
on a mission respecting the trade between the
two countries. Canadian exports to the Argen-
tinc Republic last year amounted to about
$500 600. or this n large proportion is made up
OF lumber and agricultural implements.
Canadian rye whiskcy has a firm hold on the
market there. and is specially put up to suit
that trade in bottles containing one litre of
whiskey. Canadian apples have been shipped
and have realized 81 per dozen. 1t is difficult to
keep the fruit from decaying in transit. Apples
have arrived there in cold storage from England
which first came from Nova Scotia.
Trade Commissioner Sheppard is now on his
way to South America. and will go as far south
as Buenos Ayres; His report on his trip to
Mexico has just been published. 1t indicates
certain lines OF produce in which profitable
business could be done between Canada and
Mexico. and thoroughly acquaints manufac.
turcrs and producers with the conditions Of
trade and what margin of profit there 10 In or.
ports to Mexico.
