Japan and China are again having a
little difficulty, but it is probable that
China, in view of the result of the late
war, will yield gracefully to the de-
mands of the island kingdom. 1t
seems that some of the Chinese prov
inces have been having some anti
Japanese riots, and incidentally de-
stroying Japanese property. japan de-
mands that a decree be issued ordering
officials and people to respect foreign
property and life; that rioters and Of
ficials be punished; that japan be paid
100000 taels for property damaged, and
that Japan be allowed to establish new
settlements. Japanese papers contain
strong pro-American editorials and
express the hope that the United States
will hold the Philippines.
