The San Francisco call., 1899-08-27

=; T IS the design Of the comh-ct
which has just become operative
between Japan and the United
States to extend TO Americans op-
pOrtunities in the island empire for
trade and industry, to thereby increase
the commerce and intensity the amity
which now exists between the two ma
tions"
Such was the statement Of Count
Hirokichi Mutsu, Consul Of Japan in
san Francisco, when discussing the
changes which must result in Japan,
so far as California is concerned, grow
ing out of the new convention. The
Japanese Consulate is located at 1914
Pine street in a understanding build
ing, terraced beyond a grassy plat, and
IN the rear Of this there Is a structure
devoted to the Office of his Majesty's
representative.
Count Mutsu is a son of the Japanese
Minister of Foreign Affairs who formu-
lated and concluded the new compact
with the United States, and whose
work Il essentially was. This gentle
man is now dead, and his son. the
Consul in San Francisco, succeeded 10
his title and estates. The young Con-
sui is probably not over 30 years old,
Is unmarried and leads one Of the most
quiet and methodicaI Of bachelor lives.
Under this treaty" said the Count.
which was really made in 1894. but has
just come into force, entire Japan is
thrown open to Americans. It may not
generally be appreciated what that
means, but If you had lived in Japan
8 few years ago, with any desire TO do
business in the country, you would
have felt keenly the inconvenience of
the conditions then prevailing. Jap
anese civilization is not recent. it is
very old; you of the West have taught
us certain ideas, nearly all Of them ap-
pertaining in some way to the CONVEX
sion to use of material forces. This
knowledge Is highly desirable. but 1t
does not Of itself constitute civilization
Your conditions here have been such
that the human mind has turned to the
evolution Of thought in certain chan
nels. Necessity your proverb says.
The San Francisco call., 1899-08-27

provisions of the new treaty the Con-
sular courts are all abolished, and re-
course must be had in the settlement
of all disputes to the regular Japanese
tribunals.
This last feature is most important
for San Franciscans. Japan's trade is
unexploited by the United States
There are only 1140 Americans in ia
pan among the entire 40,000,000 of the
japanese. OF these about 900 are
women-members Of the families of
the male residents. Now subtract from
these the American Consuls and their
staffs, together with the other Ameri-
cans who reside in the country as Of
ficers or missionaries, and you have
the merchant element numbering only
a few hundred. These. of course have
been confined to the five treaty ports.
The San Francisco call., 1899-08-27

Now that all parts of the empire are
open to them, they may find abodes in
the great cities of the interior, such as
Osaka and the rest.
Those few Americans, however, who
have taken up their residence in Japan,
have accomplished marvels for the
commerce of their country with us.
1t cannot be said that all the bulk of
goods moving from the United States
to japan We're set in motion thrrIgh
their influence, but they have und" St
edly placed the greater part. The ag-
gregate of these imports into Japan
from the United States during 1898 was
about 10000, 900 yen; in 1892, just four
years prior, it was less than 100000
yen-a yen being about so cents in
your coinage. YoV can see, therefore,
that we buy from you now nearly sew

.ercourse and prevented trade.
The fact that a Westerner had to be
tried in the court of his Consul where
the ignorant would naturally charge
faVOritism, forced the Japanese author
tiles to be exceedingly careful in ac-
quiring ample evidence against any
foreigner who should commit a crime.
Accordingly the Westerners were linn
tied in their choice of residence to the
treaty ports and to particular quar-
ters of these so-called concessions If
they moved elsewhere they were oblig
ed to proceed under an elaborate sys-
tenn of passports and be under constant
police espionage. There was a time.
too. when they could not go into the in
terror at all; when their operations were
confined solely to the treaty ports;
but now all this is changed. Under the

American troops toward the retreating

! American troops toward the retreating
Insurgents.
The great changes wrought since Sat
urday are shown in the military map,
, with its new arrangement OF forces. In
| two days the insurgent base, which was
at Malabon, about five miles north of
Manila, has fallen back to Malolos,
about 20 miles north Of Manila. At the
same time the American lines have
moved forward from Caloocan. about
four miles from Manila. until General
Otis reports that Macarthur abolds Mari
lao, ~ miles north of Manila. Thus the
Insurgent retreat covers about 10 miles
and the American advance covers about
eight miles.
Interest centers In the stand to be
made by Aguinaldo and his insurgent
forces. There is hope that he will risk
final stand at Malolos. In that event
the next 4S hours should determine the
final issue. as the American forces at
Marilao are not more than ten miles
from Malolos. Between these places
the scattered forces are engaged, the
extreme rear Of the insurgent troops
and the extreme advance of che Ameri-
cans bearing the brunt.
While this is going on Is or 20 miles
north of Manila General Otis dispatches
show that the insurgents are again ac-
tive south Of Manila. where Major Cen
eral Lawton's division is in reserve.
General Otis reports show no concern
as to this southern movement, as he re-
marks that "Lawton will look out for
them" The Lawton forces comprise
the brigades of Brigadier Generals
Ovenshine and King.
On Sunday General Otis cabled the
adjutant general that the son Of Colo
mel Egbert was private in his fathers
regiment: that he had fine reputa-
ton, both as a gentleman and soldier.
The adJutant general has now cabled
the presidents order that young Egbert
is appointed, subject to usual examina-
ton, second lieutenant in his fathers
regiment.
Admiral Dewey has cabled the navy
department the situation and positions
Of the American vessels of his fleet.
The dispatch follows:
Manila. March q.
THE Olympia and the Oregon, the |
and Monterey, Callao. Ma
Mia and the Helena are occupying
strategic positions at Manila bay. The
Boston and Charleston, the Concord |
and Petrol are cruising in the islands to |

town are cruising off Luzon. Have sent
Bennington to Hongkong to dock. The
Princeton is at Singapore repairing;
propeller is broken. The Nanshan has
gone to Guam. Iris will sail shortly for

San Francisco, March 28.-Harry HUI
Der of Oakland, Cal, member of the
hospital corps with the First California
volunteers. who has been active in the
battles on the island Of Luzon. has met
death at the hands of the Filipinos

He is said to have succeeded twice in

secured as relics two swords, which he

The details received of Hubers death
are meager and contained in a letter
dated Feb. II, as follows:
1.-TWO weeks ago Harry Huber went
to the insurgent lines as an English
man and was taken prisoner. A report
came in that his body was found cut to

BATTLE STILL ON.



ing the FilipinOs.
Washington, March 2S.-A cable dis
patch has been received from General
Otis saying that the battle continued
all day, with the loss Of about 40 on the
American side. He says that the troops
will press forward in the morning
Aguinaldo commanded the insurgents
in person. The following is the dspa tch
received from General Otis:
Manila, March q.
Macarthur holds Marilao Severe
fighting today. and our casualties about
4o. The insurgents have destroyed
bridges. which impeded progress of
train and artillery. Our troops met the
concentrated insurgent forces on north
ern line commanded by Aguinaldo In
person and drove with considerable
slaughter. They left nearly 100 dead on
field, and many prisoners and small
arms were captured. The column will
press on in the morning"
Satisfaction is expressed at the war
department with the situation in the
Philippines 1t is said that the dis
patches of General Otis and the press
reports show that the column is press
ing steadily forward and that the
troops are vigorously in earnest and in
good condition. The BELIEF Is expressed
that the insurgents will soon get tired
of being constantly fought, defeated
and driven back with loss. Great con-
fdence is expressed in the ability of
General Otis to finish the war because
of his determination to give the forces
Of Aguinaldo no rest.
Major Simpson, chief of the military
bureau, Is kept busy as
sembling the latest information from
the scene Of battle and 80 arranging II
