The Japanese and The Russians.

OF more than usual timeliness is a recent
letter in the London Times from its CORES
pondent in Japan, in which he discusses in
a very clear and succinct manner the causes
Of Japan's extreme interest in the opera
ti0ns of Russia in Manchuria. The question
comparatively simple in itself as he shows
it, if not simple in its solution, has been
greatly complicated by the infusion of ex-
ternal elements caused by the recent troubles
in China. These really have small bearing
on the main problem, unless, indeed, they,
with element similar to them, should sud
denly bring the whole eastern question to an
acute crisis which only war could solve.
In view of the cable despatch of the other
day that Japan was preparing to mobilize
its fleet for service IN the Yellow Sea, it is
significant that the. Times correspondent, is
by no means, hopeful that war may not be
necessary to settle the growing differences
between the two countries; although he
points out that, in spite of the increased
confidence in the efficiency OF their army
gained by the Japanese in the Chinese
| troubles, the sentiment of the people as a
whole, including the government, is still
against that mode Of decision. The point
brought out so clearly by the writer is thai
the one great question between Russia ant
Japan is the final disposition of Corea. The
Russian aggressions in Manchuria affec
Japan only so far as they will directly af
feet Corea. All other questions are sub
sidiary to this, and if there should be war j
will be the. main issue. Japan has small
faith in the Russian protestations that ther
is nothing permanent in the occupation Q
Manchuria.
Taught by her experience with Russia i
1895, and well knowing the methods {
Russian aggression, she feels certain tha
J her rival is merely bding her time befor
} making Marchuria an integral part of he
Asiatic territory.

De Wei and General Rumble
How the former treated the
scouts.
RICHARD HARDING DAVIS TELLS
THE FOLLOWING STORY OF
GENERAL DE WET.

Three scouts of the Yeomanry came,
prisoners, before the Boer commander Ode
Wet They had been captured before.
They were English scouts. Being captured
appeared 10 be an affllction chronic with
them. Christian De Wet looked them
over-gravely, thoughtfully-his clear eyes
searching them through and through. He
was their Judge. Stern or merciful, they
could not tell: all they could do was to hope.
"My men," said Gen. De Wet at last,
twill you take message from me to your
general ~
They accepted, in rejoiced surprise, and
were entrusted with a large, sealed package.
When they reached Gen. Rundle's camp,
they announced that they were the bearers
of papers from Gen. De Wet negotiating
for peace. Gen. Rumble was delighted. He
tore open the envelope. He read the letter.
1t said:
"Dear Gen. Rundle:
"This is the fourth time / have captured
these raging devils of yours. Please chain
them up. They annoy me. De Wet"

WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THE
KONA STORMS OF HAWAII

I as divided into two classes as known at
present. OF the summer storms, the ty-
phoon class originates east of the Phil
lppines, passes up through the China Sea
and over to Japan, and thence on north
east to the Aleutian Islands. meeting the
American coast near the Sound.
THE winter storms come down from
the central table lands of Asia and pro-
ceed eastward One has been traced
from the China Sea across the Pacific,
over the American continent to the Great
Lakes. There is also the revolving storm
which revolYes in a direction contrary
to the movement of the hands of a
you Will have a southwesterly wind, and
on the southwesterly side you will have a
northwesterly wind. and so on.
"On the mainland, observers know and
are informed by telegraph of the pres
ence of storm, its location and direc-
ton. and just how far off the center of
the storm is. But we are all in the dark
about that here. We have TO theorize,
and judge of the future from past ex-
perience, according to the time of the
year.
Here we are apt to get the extreme
southern edges of this storm disturb
ance with a westerly wind for a few
days, and then it goes off to other parts
During this time the trades would be
suspended, after which they would re-
turn with A north wind.
THE storm last February was first a
southeast wind, but which the natives
do not call Kona; they call it kiu.
That storm evidently came from the
southwest. and then as ii moved to the
north we had a southwest wind develop
ing into a regular Kona.
The Kona wind in Honolulu Is not VIC
lent because it Is deadened by the high
mountains directly behind the city.
Across the Maui isthmus, however, and
the north part of Hawaii. the Kona
sweeps with terrific force. 1t is violent
when il sweeps between two mountains.
1t blows harder on the Koolau coast of
oahu than on this side. which is due
probably to the wind sucking downward
