pastor OF the japanese mission church.
Brooklyn. X. Kuschidi and F. Awo. two
of the survivors OF the terrible explosion,
were present and they told at length in
their native tongue the story of the awful
night in Havana harbor. The recitals
dwelt almost wholly with their personal
experience and shed no light on the cause
OF the explosion, though both Of them be-
lieve firmly that the ship was blown up
by the Spaniards.
The sermon was delivered by Rev Hi
rose and an eulogy on the dead by A.
lshida, one OF the prominent club mem
bers. There are about leo members OF the
japanese club and they are enthusiastic
for war The general sentiment among
them is in favor OF an alliance between
Japan, England and the United States TO
the world, Great enthusiasm
was caused by some of the remarks OF
the speakers which the members explain
ed were in favor OF such an alliance.

been noted for the excellence of their
work as farmers.
Now However, there are less than 100
of the original colonists and for several
years the younger members have been

New York. March 1A-A Tribune dis
patch from Havana says:
Events In the United States indicate
that the tests laid down in President Nc

question are soon to be applied. Testi-
mony 20 the justice Of these tests Is
furnished from an important source II

confidence In the certainty Of American

understood that English syndicates con-
troll most of the tobacco factories. The
consolidation Of the railroad systefa Is
under their guidance. other enterprises
have their direction. All this has been
going on during a period when she sha-

was disappearing. No single circum-
stance would have justified the risk Of a
dollar n II had rested on autonomy bring
ing peace or the hope Of Spain being able
to guarantee a stable government, nor
has there been anything to encourage
the belief that peace would come In the
wake Of the conquering arms Of the pen
insula or that the insurgents would I've
able to drive the Spaniard from the ISL
and English investors have taken no
wildcat chances Of that kind. They have
gone forward In the face OF what might
have proved a temporary period Of an
archy or even a sixty days war
on deliberate conviction that either the
mediation or the intervention Of the Uni
ted States was inevitable; in the belief
that Spain would be unable to meet the
conditions on which the president would
be supported by the facts In saying the
cause OF intervention had been removed.
In a less pronounced way representatives
Of the French capitalists who have re-
Gently been in Cuba have reached the
same conclusion. This has been in the
face Of the French holdings OF Spanish
bonds. The German commercial inter-
ests long ago strongly intrenched have
looked forward with complaisancy min
gled with impatience to the time when
the United States should end the strug-
gle Doubtless the reports Of these Eu-
ropean countries have reported the situ-
alton to their respective governments.

and military outlook. They will welcome
