Japanese Minister to the United states VINO ar
rived in washington yesterday. talked with rep
rasentatIve of The Associated Press to-day on the
conditions in China and the prospects for cam

Mr.. Takahra said that he trying since his
arrival in the United States to catch up with the
news developments since he left Japan three weeks
ago and that he was not in good position to I'M
part information. In general way he said II
might be stated that japan, If needed, could throw
one-half Of her army Of 10000 men into China'
but II hardly seemed probable that this would
be done According to his last advices Japan pur-
posed sending between $4,000 and 25,0O0 men as her
quota OF the international force to China The
Japanese Government. he said, had ample facilities
for transporting whatever troops might be needed.
The Japanese steamship lines at the disposal Of the
Government have aggregate tonnage of about
$50 900 twenty transports already have been requi-
sitioned and Mr.. TakahIra said that the Japanese
division could be landed at whatever point was
deemed best and in such quantities were con-
sidered necessary by the commanders now coop
Grating in China.
Regarding the suggestion which frequently has
been made In this country that Japan being
hampered in her Chinese operations by some Of the
other Powers interested. the Minister said that
this was not his understanding, and he was IN
TSere e has been the BEST Of feeng Mr. Takahra
said between the japanese troops engaged In China
and the other natiOnalitieS. and the Japanese had
already proved in the fight at Tien-Tsin that they

possible, the Minister added that Japan's part in
the Chinese operations would have been larger had
not the outbreak of the Boxers developed so swift
ly Japan acting simply for the protection of
her and other foreign subjects in China, and
had the gravity Of the situation been realized be-
fore the Boxers seized and destroyed the lines of
communication.
Mr. Takahira said that he not charged with
any commercial treaty work present, as the new
reciprocity arrangement between Japan and this
counry adequate for present necessities. 1t
quite possible, he observed, that the develop
ment in trade during the next few years might

This is not the Minister'S first visit to the United
