JAPAN WILL FIGHT.

Correspondence Of Associated Press)
YOKOHAMA. March 80. via San
Francisco. April 1S.-Whether the few
erish activity at the arsenals and navy
yards. or the unanimous voice of the
native press or the corroborative reports
of decided stand being resolved up
on by the government are taken into
consideration. there remains little or
no doubt that Japan has made up its
mind to face Russia alone IL necessary.
There is no mistaking the patriotic
fervor Of the people. 1t surpasses in
intensity all that was exhibited at the
outbreak OF the Chinese war in 1894.
and a dissenting voice is nowhere to
be heard throughout the length and
breadth of the land. Even the most
conservative and moderate Of the jour
nails are pronounced in their advocacy
of the firmest kind of stand on the
part Of the government. The Yorodzu
has .he following in today's issue:
Although It has been reported by
Reuter- and others that China has re-
jected the Manchuriln convention we
must not congratulate ourselves there
| upon. We must be on the alert as ever,
| all the more SO because there has been
| received in Toxic later reports to the
effect that China has at last been COM
! nellei 10 sign the convention Even
though those later reports may turn
false. we must not think that the Man
churian question has satisfactorily been
settled We need to scarcely say that
| Russia will never abandon her preten-
sions on Manchuria. unless forced 10
do so by some high-handed measure.
I'm connection with this We are glad
to hear that our government has de-
cidei to adopt decisive measures with
regard to the Manchurian and Korean
| questions. Japan will. we are told
move Independently of other powers and
| in a most vigorous manner. Let us
hope that all this is true 1t is high
| time FOR this country to see whether
or not it can drive back the great dis
turber of the peace Of the far East
Were we to remain idle. Manchuria and
then Korea will irrevocably pass into
| Russias grip. no matter whether the
Manchurlan convention is signed or
not"

WASHINGTON. April fs.-The secre-
tary of sta.e received a cablegram this
morning from Mr.. squires, U s. charge
at Pekin. dated Pekin, April IS. say
ing.
THE winter palace occupied by Won
Waldersee mas been accidentally des-
troyed by fire. General Schwartzkopp,
chief Of staff. was fatally burned"
This incident may prove more SER
ious than appears on the surface It
is known from diplomatic communica-
tons received in Washington that In
tense feeling hal been aroused among
tte Chinese over the occupation OF the
empress dowager's palace by Count Won
WaldersNe and his military stan.
II is known that this military occu-
patton Of the imperial palace was the
moving cause for the rejection of all
ove.tures for the return of the imperial
family to Pekiu. From Chinese stand
noint It was impossible 20 even consid-
er the return Of the imperial family SC
long a. the chief OF the
allied forces was in actual occupation
Of TIE empress palace.
Now that the palace is entirely des-
troyed. It may have bearing on the
return Of the imperial family. A new
objection is created in he removal Of
the palace itself, for under Chinese
usage the imperial family must occupy
those exclusive quarters.
