Principal Change Is in the Increase of
Sugar.
Washington, March 27.-President
Mckinley has approved the new army
ration prepared under the direction of
General Weston, chief commissary.
The principal change is in the in
crease OF the sugar ration, being 20
pounds to each 100 rations instead of
Is pounds as heretofore. The vinegar
component, which was S-25 of a gill,
is changed by allowing half of that
amount in cucumber pickles when de-
sired. In the fruit component 1 rs
ounces of jam is allowed for the field
ration in place of l. 3-5 ounces of
dried or evaporated fruit, which is the
allowance for the garrison ration. A
change is made in the travel ration by
allowing the canned tomatoes to be
served on the first day instead of the
fourth, us heretofore.

a general of the Japanese imperial
army, accompanied. by Captains N.

through Pittsburg en- route to Cali

data for the benefits of. the imperial
army and Intended remaining for
three or more months, but were called
home. General Yatsumi said:
According to the communications 1
have received from my government,
think that a conflict between my
country and Russia is inevitable.
While have not been officially no
titled I think the object of my supe-
riors in calling me home is for the
purpose of making preparations for a
war with Russia. 80
Japan and Russia are bound to
come together sooner OR later. ass a
result of the contention over Korea.
This fact seems to have become more
evident since the outbreak of hos
t1lities in China and if such an engage
ment must occur, Japan, is better
equipped at present and will doubt
less hasten a termination of this. long
standing dispute. Russia's ultimate
intention is to seize Korea, but we
shall never give up the land without
a STRUGGLE" .~:,

have come to this country concerning

Il am convinced" said the consul

greatly exaggerated. There is no
denying that there is some rioting
but it is not att all serious to my
mind. will not tell you what my
reasons for this belief dare not tell

sured of what tell you ...-
ssWho do you think is responsible
for the dissemination of such re-
ports?". - 80. ~

may not Let me Say that whoever
does this undoubtedly is animated by
a. desire to make trouble for Russia
and believe the reports eminate from
some of the European countries which
are not on the friendliest terms with
Russia"
"How do such views come out from
Russian"
"That would be most difficult for
me to say, as I am not conversant
with all the facts. There are plenty
of men who, DESTROYS of spreading
seditious ideas, go about intoxicating
their ideas in the minds of the young
er men, making them believe they are
not treated right and that they should
rebel and demand justice. Of course,
young blood is impetuous, and these
youngsters are easy tools in the hands
Of the plotters."
