JAPAN READY FOR WAR
IS MODELLING HER FLEET TOWARD
CHINEcE WATERS.
Japan Considered Able to Meet Effectively on
Sea Both Russia and Germany With
out EngIand'S Help.

London, Jan. 21.-The st. James
Gazette this afternoon commenting up
on the despatch from Yokohama Saying
that fleet of nine japanese war-ships
will leave japan in the course of a week
for Chinese waters, says:
Japan is prepared for war. That,
in nutshell, is the news from Yokohama
to-day and it is really the first news from
Japan since the beginning of the Chinese
crisis. 1t was obvious that the japanese
government had stopped telegraphic com
munication. which it never does except
when mObilizing the Army or Navy.
That is precisely what it has been doing.
1t il almost certain that the destination
sf the feet is Wei-Hai-Wei, and there
is no doubt the movement means that
the status quo in China, so far as Man
churia and Corea are concerned, shall
not he altered by Russia or any com
bination of Rissias allies, in defiance of
Great Britain and Japan. So long as
the defenders policy is equality of Op-
portunity in China they are in Il QOsi-
tion to enforce their claims"
The st. James Gazette also gives
prominence to list of the ships in the
jdIfaHeSe NAVY. points out It's uuuttINN
fighting strength, and says:
Even with Great Britain a mere sym
pathetic onlooker. it is probable that
Japan could finish off all the Russian
and German warships east of Suez in
short order Great Britain. even incIul-
ing the Powerful has not a vessel in the
North Pacific capable of standing i'll bat

Japan possesses"

AUTONOMY NOT ACCEPTED.
General Palma Says President Masec
is Still Loyal.

New York, Jan. 21.-Thomas Estrada
Palma, head of the Cuban Junta i'll this
city, when seen regarding the despatch
yesterday from Havana stating that
General Juan Masso PARA had surlpn.
dered to tbe Spanish and accepted an.
tonomy, said:
'AIasso PARA is no relative of Presi
dent MassO, of Cuba, as alleged in the
Spanish officials reports. The former
Cuban officer was court martialed some
time ago and was reduced to the ranks
AT the time of his surrender he was moi
in command of and forces whatsoever
/ am positive that the parties mentioned
in the Spanish official reports were mere
pacifices who. un-armed, accompanied
Masso Parra into town, as was the case
with the Cueryo brothers, which is quite
parallel.
The surrender of Masso PARA" con.
tinued Senior Palma, docs not affect III
the least the Cuban cause. We have
fully 5000 well armed and equipped
men distributed all over Cuba. and i
handful of deserters will not at all affect
the final success of the war for indepen.
dence. For every Cuban that goes over
to tl'r SpanfardS we can count hundreds
of Spanish and Cubans who are swell
ing our ranks"

lief of the book publishing company Of

this bill the House passed the bill to
extend the public land laws Of the
United States to the territory of Alaska,
and to grant a general railroad right of
way through the territory. The urgent
deficiency bill was sent to conference
after the silver forces with some out
side aid had succeeded in concurring in

bill the provision requiring the deposi-
tors of bullion at government ASSAY
offices to pay the cost of transportation
to the mints.
The vote was considered significant, as
there was to a certain extent an align
ment of the silver forces in favor of the
motion to concur in the Senate amend
ment. The following Republicans join
ed with the Democrats and populistrs:
