THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Ex-Minister Barrett Urges an Alliance
Against Russia and France.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 12.-Japanese
papers to hand by the Empress of Japan
are full of interviews with Hon. John Bar
rett, recently United States minister to
Siam, on the Chinese question. Barrett
thinks that the time is ripe for the adop-
ton of an active far Eastern policy by Eng
land, Japan and the United States with, if
possible, the cooperation of Germany, Rus
STA and France. whose policy it appears to
be to gain gradually the exclusive control
of vast areas of China. and to close these
areas to unrestricted trade would thus be
confronted by pressure impossible to resist,
and would find themselves compelled to
guarantee within their spheres of infiu-
ence" the maintenance of equal trade rights
conferred by existing treaties between
China and foreign powers.

If they do not represent the Cuban people it
will be hard to determine who are to be
taken as the proper representatives. They

who were complaining that the Spaniards
had received preference among captains and
inspectors of police, are pleased with the
ofncial statement from General Ludlow that
the list was unauthorized and will be re-
Vised
General Lee is Indifferent to the police
controversy He did not originally favor
taking Colonel MoultOn from the command
of his regiment. He is irritated at the lessen

fresh troops on arrival being assigned to
Havana, but it is doubtful whether he will

forty-four prtvates and two officers in the
two divisions which constitute the corps and
which number fourteen thousand men, Gen.
Lee expects to take a trip through to Ha-
vana province next week, visiting the
municipalities and making changes in the
local officers where necessary. He has an

favor radical policy of removal. He wants
the people in the different communities to

and he will accept their recommendations.
General Lee has also announced that it is
not his policy to scatter small American
troops through the province and he has
