Japan SENDS ULTIMATUM
Demand on China Taken as Chal-
Ieuge to the rIuscoviteS.

London. April 1G.-Japan has issued
an ultimatum to China that Russia
must be elected from Manchuria, the
alternative being that occupation OF
that province shall become lnterha-
tional instead of solely Muscovitc.
While directed to Emperor KWang
Hsu, through Ii Hung Chang, the Ill
TINA tum is undoubtedly meant for
ST. Petersburg. 1t is the serving OF
notice on the ear that he must ADAM
don Manchuria or fight.
The wording Of the ultImatum does
full credit to ne reputation OF Mar
uIlis Ito as the Bismarck or the
orient
Beneath the nowery language is con-
ccalcd the mailed fist. First present.
cd as q petition, Japans demand is
now courhcd in words OF command.
1t is highly significant that ii
Hung Chang, ardent special pleancF
for Russia, should be chosen as the
mculun for transmitting the u!ti-
illntuIn, and especially so when it is
considered that Japan sent her 1rSt
message to Kwang lIsu through
Prince Ching. 1t is shreWdly con jec-
irrn mere lnIt Earl j.! ) i3L IlitH-
sage, after the receipt of the nltl-
ma t,,nl, went to the ear instead OF
to his own nominal sovereign.
That Japan has determined to pre-
cipitatc Il crisis in the far east is
now no longer open to doubt. That,
while openly acting independently,
she has been promised support by
ct her powers, Great Britain among
tn en-, is more than probable.
One thing is certain. Russia must
now show her hand. She can no
longer hide her purposes behind the
assertion that she must retain her
troops in Alanchuria to preserve or
der and protect her interests. Inter-
national aid in SO doing is now fore
gone conclusion. Therefore Il CLASH
seems inevitable.
Japan's assurance to China that
all the nations regard the latter Us a
'friendly power is interpreted here
as an oriental intilllation to Russia
that she herself is not considered
in that category as far as japan. is
oncerned.

cides to Leave.
Lisbon, April 16.-The startling an
nounccment is made in court circles
that Queen Marie Amclic, wife Of
Don Carlos, king OF Portugal, has
resolved to become q nun. This is
direct result of the protractcd
quarrel between the royal couple
over the kings attitude toward the
religious orders of the country.
The agitation against the clergy
in Spain last month spread to Por-
tugal, where trouble between the lib
erals and the clerical elements had
been brewing for long time. Queen
Amelic is q devout Catholic, while
Don Carlos sides with the liberals,
and during the recent disturbances
he openly cspoused their cause
against the church. Violent scenes
between husband and wife in the Lis
bon palace followed.
There are other grievances against
the king which steelcd Queen Anelie' S
neart. The king has proved several
times of late nnfaithful to his mar
riage VOW, which recently led to 4
public scandal. A prominent physi-
clan in Lisbon committed suicide over
the loss Of his beautiful young wife.
