CHINA AGAIN IN TROUBLE.
Japan Seeks sstisfaction for "A Riot-Other
Powers Alert.


Vancouver. B. c., June 1O.-Oriental
advices are that China and Japan are
again having trouble. Complications
have occurred in China one after anoth-
er and now the Japanese consulate at
Shashi has been burned. The Chinese
indemnity has been paid, Wei-Hai-Wei
is evacuated and Japan has assurance
from China that no part of the province
Of Fukien shall be leased or ceded TO
any foreign country. The obligations
of the Shimonoseki treaty have thus
far been fully discharged by China and
now new complication has arisen. 1t
seems that rioters at Shashi raided the
japanese consulate, set fire to the build
ing and destroyed all foreign residences
along the River Yang-tse-Yang.
A Shanghai dispatch says the rioters
are believed to have been instigated by
Chinese officials recently discharged
from service. On receipt of the news OF
the riot the minister OF the navy is
sued instructions to the commanders OF
the cruiser Takao at Shanghai and the
gunboat Maya at Saseho to proceed TO
the scene of the disturbance to protect
the japanese residents. Her majesty's
steamship Esk has been ordered TO the
scene Of the outrage. Shashi, where
the riot took place. is one of the ports
opened TO foreign trade under the Jap
anese treaty OF 1895. It is fifty miles
above Hankow. Japan has adopted the
method of Great Britain and France.
and has obtained a guaranty that the
portion Of the Chinese empire in which
she is most interested shall not be
alienated.
France has demanded from China an
indemnity Of 10000 taels. the erection OF
a church as a memorial and the exten-
sion Of the railway from Manning, in
Kwangsi province, TO the coast Of
Kwang-Tung as a compensation for the
murder of a French priest. 1t is Off
cially reported in mandarin circles that
Russia has secretly demanded lease OF
not only Kinchou, a few miles from
Port Arthur. but also of Fushcoua Sui
Preftural, farther north than the for
mer city. These, with the possession of
Kaipeng, at the head of the Lab Tung
peninsula, will give the Russians entire
control of the peninsula.

SECOND ILLINOIS EXPECTS ORDERS.
Hopes to Get to Cuba without Going to
Tampa.

Jacksonville, Fla, June 10-Now that
volunteer regiments have left Tampa,
the men in the Second are on the qui
vive with anticipation. Supplies have
at last arrived for the regiment. Six
hundred blouses and 600 pairs Of trous-
ers have been issued Campaign hats
have been supplied to all of Colonel
Moulton's men. Leggins are in cars
here, blankets are in the soldiers hands
and belts, bayonets with scabbards,
canteens and knapsacks.
1t is the solid opinion that the Second
will move direct from here. Transports
which may have to be brought from
New York and northern seaports can
stop at Jacksonville and continue with
their loads of soldiers without doubling
the Florida peninsula to Tampa.

peopIe Are Panic-stricken.

With the slencing Of the forts a still
greater panic fell upon the residents of
Caimanera, who feared the Americans
would complete the work by destroying
the town, and there was general
movement for places of safety. Many
shells from the American ships ex-
ploded in close proximity to the houses
on the outskirts of Caimanera. A re-
port reached here that several houses
were struck by projectiles. No damage
was done to the fleet. 1t was believed
in Caimanera that the fleet was bonn
harding with a view to opening a way
for the landing of American troops near
that point. With the withdrawal from
the bay of the American ships those
who had fed from the town ventured to
return, and excitement was succeeded
by calmness.

May Offer Resistance.

The Spaniards there apparently are
determined to offer desperate resistance
TO any attempt of the Americans to
land troops, and are preparing to make
the most effective defense possible un-
der the circumstances. The military
commander of the district has issued
an order to burn the town IL necessary
to prevent the Americans from profit
ing by its occupation. Similar measures,
Il is understood, are being taken at
Santiago. After a cessation or hring
from the forts the fleet concentrated
Its fire upon the blockhouse, at which
the cables of q French line land, and
speedily demolished II. The cables
which connect the blockhouse with Cal
manera were cut. On account OF the
cutting Of the cable to Santiago tele-
graphs communication with that place
Is suspended.

Cuts Three Cables.

The latter, however, paid little atten-
tion to the Spanish forts, directing their
efforts to cutting the cables which run
out Of Caimanera. Three cables were
cut under protection of the larger ves-
sells of the fleet. One Of the cables was
that connecting Caimanera with the
city of Santiago de Cuba. The Ameri-
can fleet appeared off the entrance to
Guantanamo just as the rising sun be-
gan to redden the horizon. With the
Marblehead in the lead, the little squad
ron sailed into the bay. While the
Marblehead, the st. Louis and the Yam
kee formed in battle order before the
forts and opened fire, the little gunboats
darted out from the line and began to
grapple for the cable. The fire from the
cruisers was rapid and well directed.
and was replied to with vigor by the
Spanish.

Naval Reserves Win Laureis.

All the men on board the warships
worked with enthusiasm, the New York
naval reserves on board the Yankee
earning their share of laurels at the
guns. The bombardment continued un-
til the gunboats cutting the cables had
concluded their labors. This was at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. The fleet then
sailed out of the bay and took up a po-
sition about three miles from shore.
The shells from the warships early be-
gan to tell on the fortifications from
which the fire became weaker and
weaker. One battery after another was
silenced, until finally not shaft of
fire or balloon of smoke issued from
the face of the forts to tell of contin-
ued resistance. AS the walls of the
Notifications began to tumble on them
the Spanish gunners deserted their
posts Of duty and ran to the town,
which was in a state of high excite
ment.

Districts.

Camp MoCalla, July Is. p. M. via
Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay. "A
launch from the Marblehead went up
the bay this afternoon, to invest Playa
del Toro, opposite Caimanera, and gave
formal notice to the Spanish comman-
dor of the surrender OF Glen. Toral's
troops, together with the conditions of
the caritulation of Santiago. A lin
itvd time was fixed for hauling down
the Spanish flag over Cain anera.
Tho American officer also gave notice
that if the Spanish gunboat Sandoval
was disabled in any way, or if any arms,
ammunition, public buildings, or the
railroad tracks mt Caimanera or Guanta-
namo were destroyed, the Spaniards
would not BIS treated as prisoners of
war. Tbs flag was hauled down this
afternoon.
From Spanish sources il is learned
that the total force in Guantanamo and
Caimanera is about 5000, of which
number. however, only about 3, 900 are
fit for service, the others being
wounded or disabled by sickness.
Tomorrow steps will be taken for a
formal surrender. What disposition
will be made of the prisoners has not
yet been determined, because OF the
presence of yellow fever among them.
a rigid quarantine will be maintained
and it is probable that transports for
the removal of prisoners will be sent
up the bay and luaded there, instead OF
having the prisoners march down here.
