JAPANESE INDIFFERENT TO THE WAR.
SOME OF THEM DO NOT THINK THE CHINESE
KNOW HOW TO FIGHT

None OF the foreigners who have to the
United states in numbers taking a more lively
interest in the Chinese mixup than are the Japa-
nese. There are only few hundred Japanese In
this city, but 30 per cent of those who are here
have seen service OF kind in the japanese
army or navy. Several of them veterans OF
the recent war between Japan and China and
their fighting blood is at the prospect OF
another invasion Of the Dragon Empire under the
flaming red and white flag OF Japan
Most OF the japanese in this city connected
with the curio which scattered about the
city. Many will also be found in restaurant and
hotel kitchens An assistant manager OF one
OF the stores, who recently came to this city from
Kobe and who has fought for his country. said
Yesterday a Tribune reporter:
Not many OF the Japanese now IN the United
States will go home on account Of the war with
China. We have whipped China once and can
do il again at any time. They may have learned
lessons in the war which ended In their defeat.
but We learned too. Our lessons have been applied:
the Chinese still thinking about what they
learned They simply can't fight That is all
there is to IT, They forget all they eyer learned
about fighting when they go into battle, and the
officers devise to take their own lives before they
plan the battle.

Washington, July 29.-Minister Wu's failure
to deliver dispatch from Minister Conger when
he called on Secretary Hay to-day was as
heartening to the officials, who now regard re-
