JAPAN NOT LIKELY TO PROTEST.

Washington. May 1.-THE statement cabled
from London yesterday that Japan intends to
protest vigorously against the seizure OF tho
Philippines by the United States, and with that
object in view is taking steps to secure the CO.
operation OF certain European Powers. Is not
credited by the Japanese Minister. He said to-
day that he had received no ntimation. official
or unofficial of any such purpose on the part OF
his Government, and he Is confident that the re-
port is without foundation. In his opinion the
statement carries with 1t its own contradiction.
since II is self-evident that the present situation
in the Philippines offers neither occasion nor
reason for a protest by Japan

The article goes on to say that II Is astonishing
that Chief Wilkie OF the United States Secret
Service has not discovered this. and states that
from what has been learned from Secret service
men the actual enlistment OF men for secret
service work goes on there, and that In one In
stance a woman In this city has been approached
for the purpose and even supplied with the nee
essary clothes for the work. The paper also
states that the cable bills Of the party for mes
sages sent by both the Great Northwestern and
Canadian Pacific Telegraph companies amount
TO $500 a day They communicate with their
agents In the United States by means or the
cable to London, whence their messages are
cabed back to America, and vice versa. TO be
sure Of secrecy they send half of each or their
cipher message by one and the other half or the

company is connected with the Western Union
