Raleigh today. After the Red Shirt mob
at Smithfleid yesterday had dragged Mr.
league, the Populist speaker. from the
speakers stand. and destroyed the stand,
and after number of persons had been
injured in a general riot, the mob made
an attempt to destroy the Office of the
''Smithheld Courier" and to assault the
editor. The fact that a telegram was re-
seived in Smithfeld from Raleigh stating
shat the Governors guard had been called
out and was about to take a special train
for Smithfeld, no doubt, was the cause of
restraining the mob.

soldiers are still at the armory. and will
remain on duty until the election is over.
This was the official statement given out

was asserted at Democratic headquarters
that the assenblage OF the soldiers here

Secretary Root characterizes as false the
report from Tientsin that an order had
been sent to the commander OF the Ameri-
can forces not to delay the advance On
Pekin. He explained yesterday afternoon
that he had Issued no such order and
would not do so. He thought It implied
that he had interfered with General Chat
fee and insisted that he had not done SO
and would not direct General Chaffee at
all as to what he should do in China
Secretary Root said he wanted It under

General Chaffee or interfere with him.

we do about the situation" he remarked,
and is fully able TO Judge of what should
be done. He has received his instructions
and can act accordingly. II would be alb
surd for me TO send him an order to either
delay or not delay an advance on Pekin.

JAPAN IN FULL ACCORD.
VIII Cooperate Heartily With the
Powers In China.

Mr.. Kogoro Takhira, the new Japanese
Minister to the United States, who reached
Washington Tuesday, talked Interestingly
yesterday with Times reporter about
the situation in China, with particular ref
erence to Japan's participation. Mr.. TAX
hira is well acquainted with America. This
is his third visit to this country in an OFF,
cial capacity. He was Secretary Of the
Japanese Legation here from 1879 to 1883
and Consul General in New York from 1891
to 1898. Lately he has been Vice Minister
of Foreign Affairs in Tokyo. He speaks
English fluently.
Mr. Takhira said that he had left Japan
July and was very much behindhand in
regard to the events that have been trans
piring in the East. When he sailed for
the United States the Fifth Army Corps
was being mobilized for service in China
He did not, he said. know any reason to
justify the understanding in this country
that Japan had been prevented from send
ing her troops to China as rapidly as her
facilities permitted. There was certainly
the most hearty cooperation between ia
pan and the other powers in the object Of
rescuirg the foreigners in Pekin aud in
restoring order in China.
Japanese troops had fought side by side
with tfe troops OF Europe and America at
Tisntsin, he said, and there was nothing
to ndiate friction. He was inclined to
believe that the rapid development Of the
Boxer uprising was one reason why the
Japanese troops had not been sent to
China sooner. The Boxer movement at
tanned serious proportions so quickly that
its Importance was not realized until Il
attained full sway
as to Japan's ability to particlpa e in
the Chinese campaign, Mr.. Takhira said
that at her present peace footing Japan
he'd 600 men in the army and would be
able to send half that number to China if
necessary and yet have plenty of troops
TO meet any emergency which might arise
at home

instructed the latter to convey to the Jap

The cruiser Nashville left Nagasaki for
Taku today. and will be put to good use
by Admiral Remey. The Oregon will soon

In speaking of the Importance OF move
on the part of General Chaifee, the Gov
ernment officials seem confident that this

ment official yesterday. They are wait

an interesting story in the 'Hongkong

respondent Of that paper, and is dated June
II. reading as follows:
'' The Ministers wired the Tientsin con-

Governors Departure for Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. Passengers
from Belize. British Honduras, report that
when the mail steamer Breakwater lert
there the town was under intense excite
ment from an uprising of the working
classes. mob of workingnen surrounded
the Governors palace. and great terror
prevailed among the inhabitants. until the
colonial guards had succeeded in driving
back the mob at the point of the baycnet
and restoring order.
The riot arose over the new tax duty on
foodstufs and provisions. which greatly
increased their price and bore heavily on
the poorer classes. This created great dis
content. The prejudice of the poor people
was worked on by a. agitator named
Huler, and under his leadership q mob
marched through the principal streets Of
Belize TO the palace of the Governor. Col.
Sir Davil Wilson, demanding the re-
peal OF the tax and threatening death un-
less their wishes were granted.
Colonel Wilson refused to hold con-
ference with Eules ,>ad other leaders. The
mob then endeavored to force its way into
the palace, but was driven back by the
colonial guards. with the free use Of the
bayonet.
When the Breakwater left Belize, al
though the military we're still in control,
the working classes were in an ugly hus
NOR, and threats were made OF further
trouble. What, however, had caused al
most as great a sensation as the bread riot
was the fact that Governor Wilson left
Belize the day after the trouble for Mexico.
on the special invitation of President Digz.
The manner of his departure was such as
TO arouse and excite the populace, for he
marched from the palace protected by a
large body OF the colonial troops
AT the wharf was the Mexican man-o'-
war Tarago5ka, one of the best boats in
the Mexican navy. A strong force OF
Mexican marines met Governor Wilson
and escorted him, in company with the
colonials. aboard the vessel, thus prevent
ing any attack or demonstration from the
mob. it was announced that Governor
Wilson would go to Vera Cruz thence to
Mexico, where no will have a special con
ference by invitation with President Diaz
and to England via New Orleans and New
York
The Belize people believe that he left
there anticipating further riots. and that
he was glad to get away, but they cannot
understand q Governor leaving his post
OF duty during trouble The conference
with President Diaz is believed to be over
the Mexican war with the Maya Indians,
who are in Yucatan just beyond the border
OF British Honduras. The Mexican cam
paign against the Mayas is being con-
Quoted from Belize. which is the nearest
town to the seat of war.
The Mexican army and navy obtained all
its supplies there. There seemed to be
perfect understanding between the Mexi-
can officers and Governor Wilson, who
afforded them all the facilities in his
power for the conduct of the war.
