Military Excited.

The Kobe Chronicle says, the news
which has reached Japan during the
last few days appears to have greatly
excited the military party Even the
more moderate men seem to believe
that the time has come for Japan to
secure portion of the spoils. Military
ana naval officers are quoted in the
Asahi as deploring the weakness of the
Government and its inability to decide
upon resolute policy. The army and
navy are always ready to take up i'm
portant duties" The Asahi says that
from these remarks the spirit animal
ing military and naval officers may be
inferred. There is no doubt that Japan
is making military preparatlon-tor
defense or offense, as the case may be.
General Katsura, the commander of the
Tokyo bay defensive works, visited Yo-
kohama on the 21st on what is de-
scribed as important military business.

tice was to be made on the 22d and

Million Yen Blaze.

The Japan Herald says that on De

house at the Yokohama Railway Sta
ton and quickly spread to the adjourn
ing storehouses, which were nearly all
burnt to the ground, together with the
accumulation of goods stored within
them. The loss suffered by delivery
companies and owners of the goods is
estimated to be very great; it is said
not less than a million yen, much silk,
rice, sake, etc, being destroyed. The
flames were subdued after about one
hour and a half. Besides the goods de-
stroyed by fire or water a large Quan-
tity was stolen. The origin OF the fire
has not been discovered, but is thought
to have been the result Of a coolie
lighting a fire to warm himself, in the
immediate vicinity of some alcohol,
