from japan. Corea and China unite in
declaring that the tension is growing
and that Japan is making series of
military preparations entirely out of

legged that 10000 troops have been
struggled into Corea as coolies, and
that her army and navy are ready for
mobilization at very short notice. ia

opinion holds that she will not act un-

They Congratulate Uncle Sam on the Out
look In the Philippines.

London. April 29.-An the morning
papers contain editorials congratulating
the United States upon the prospect of
peace in the Philippines and compli-
menting the bravery and endurance of
the Anne rican troops, which have pro-
duced the much-desired result. All in
sist that the United States cannot treat
with the rebel government. All approve
the demand of General Otis for an un-
conditional surrender. and urge that he
should be given full powers and not be
hampered by instructions from WASH
ington. The Daily Mail says: General
Otis has to deal with Orientals. and his
policy must he directed accordingly"
The Morning Post. which emphasizes
the danger of treating with the rebels,
says: THE way may be long. but the
adoption of a conciliatory policy is not
the method best suited to get to the end
of it" The Standard says: The rebels
are proper objects for clemency, but
they cannot be dealt with as a political
entity. No real friend of the islanders
would wish to see them ali at once
charged with the task OF working out
their own destiny on lines OF pure au-
tonomy." The Daily News thinks a ma
tive administration. under supreme
American control. and even a native
army fortified by a compact Ameri-
can garrison, would be the best solu-
ton
