New Move by These Two Powers

The report comes from Vienna that
the commander OF the Austrian arm
ored cruiser kaiserin Maria Theresa,
in a dispatch from Che Foo, which is
not dated. reports that Russian and
Japanese troops are advancing north
ward from Pekin
The foregoing dispatch has an i'm
portant bearing on the actual situa-
ton in China and goes far towards
disclosing the intentions of two OF The
powers concerning China. The res
cue OF the legations and foreigners in
Pekin IA the primary object OF the
march 10 E'ekin. AIRY further move
on the part of the allied troops
against China indicates actual war.
The allies. since The occupation OF
Pekin. have been recOnoitering out
side the walls to protect themselves
from possible attacks. But the Aus
trian commander uses the word ''ad-
vancing. which would indicate a
further INVASION Oh Emma. Inc ltu>-
SLAMS were expected TO DO something
of this sort, as they are carrying on
IA war in Manchuria and along the
Siberian border. The Japs, however,
were not expected to Join any such
movement. as the war in Manchuria
does not concern them save in so far
as the acquisition of Manchuria by
Russia would strengthen Russia's
hand in the forthcoming settlement of
the whole far Eastern question. The
dispatch from Che Foo, to the effect
that Russia, Japan aud Germany had
declared war on China. may have
been based on the advance referred to
by the Austrian commander.

WANTS OUR PROTECTION.
Senior Lanuza says Cuba Can Not Do
wfthOUl IL.

In a letter written in April last by
Senior Lanuza. former Secretary OF
Justice. who was recently asked to
represent the Republican party OF
Cienfuegos in the forthcoming consti-
+~utional convention, gives his reasons
for not joining the Republicans:
Il do no join the Republican party
he says, because | DO not agree with
the two principal ideas of that party.
namely: The immediate cessation of
Intervention and the immediate ac-
cession of absolute independence. If
intervention were to cease before
Cuba had become well established on
a sound economic basis, then dark
days would be in store for us. After
the republic is established. the United
States should maintain. for some time,
international relations with Cuba,
especially with reference to Cuba's
dealing with other countries: and
should also have the right of approx
ing 'or disappearing Cuban loans
above a certain amount.
Moreover, the American Govern
ment should uphold Cuba before the
world. Indeed, if the United States
we're not to do these things, then the
prospects would be gloomy What is
needed is a frank avowal from Wash
ington that the United States will
guarantee sound and efficient govern
ment in Cuba. This is requisite to a
restoration of confidence.
Having thus defined his political
position. Senior Lanuza appends a
sort OF footnote. in which he says:
If the members of the Republican
party should now decide to accept my
definition of what is politically wise,
| would readily become their candi-
date for election TO the convention,
but l doubt that my views would sat
isfy them
