CHINA DODGES.
Complies With Demand of the
Powers in a Sly Way.


New York, July ia dispatch from
Washington to the Herald says China
has formally mplied with the demand
of the powers that she suspend for
five years all official examinations in
all the cities where foreigners have
been massacred or have been subject to
cruel treatment but she has done 1t
in such way as to rob the suspension
of the punitive character desired by
the foreign governments. The en-
peror has issued an edict suspending
the examinations not only in the guilty
districts but throughout the entire
country for a period of five years. In
stead of announcing that this is a re-
suit of the i'll treatment of foreigners
the edict explains that the emperor de-
sires to give the students in every prov
ince an opportunity to prepare for an
entirely new and modern system of ex-
animation.
The United States has not agreed to
action looking to the advisa bility of
manding that a special punishment be
administered in those districts in which
foreigners were outraged. This gov
eminent is anxious that the powers
should retire from China as promptly
as possible.
While China has in the latter of ex-
aminations turned a difficulty, it is
pointed out that the other terms de-
manded are exceedingly rigorous, and
it will be difficult for the imperial gov
eminent to comply with them and at
the same time preserve its prestige at
home.

Streams OF 1t With Lava, Ashes
and Stones
Pour Out of a Volcano in North
ern Java.
FOR so MILES AROUND
Coffee Plantations and Other Es-
tates We're Destroyed.
Country Thereabout Was
Strewn With COrpses.

Tacoma, Wash, July 15.-Oriental ad-
vices give details of a terrible destruc
ton of human life which occurred in
northern Java last month by a sudden
and terrific outburst of the volcano
Kloet. For fifty miles around all the
coffee plantations and other estates
were destroyed by showers of ashes
and stones, together with great streams
of lava and not mud. Seven hundred
natives and q number of Europeans
persisted.
The lava also consumed the superin-
tendent of the estate and about 25
coolies. Many coffee estates in the
neighborhood were destroyed. The
country around was strewn with
coFpses.
Fourteen arrests have been made at
Singapore in connection with the recent
robbery of the Hong Kong and Shang
hal bank of notes amounting to nearly
$500. 900. The prisoners are bank clerks
and m oney changers, and include two
women.
Many protests are being made be-
cause the Russian authorities at Port
Arthur are opening all letters to and
from the American and European resi-
dents there. Nothing is permitted to
be sent out that contains any allusion
to Russian military affairs or criticism
of Russian methods.

OLD LETTER TURNS UP

New York, July 5.-Independent
Cuba viii begin business. says Wash
ington dispatch to the Herald, with a
bonded Indebtedness of only $122. 400, re-
sulting from the clause in the new con-
stitution pledging the Cuban republic
to the payment of the bonds issued by
authority of the revolutionary govern
ment during the war with Spain
There has been considerable trouble
as to the amount of this indebtedness
but unless some of the bonds We're IS
sued just before or since the interYen-
ton of the United States, the figures
are correct Representative William
Alden Smith, of Michigan, has just
made public a letter which he received
from Senior Guerra, treasurer Of the
revolutionary government, just before
the beginning of the war between the
United States and Spain, which has
never been communicated to any one
except the members of the foreign az
fairs committee of the house of repre-
sentatives In this letter Senior Guerra
says that the revolutionary government
issued a total of printed bonds amount
ing to SO, 145, SEQ, and that the total of
the bonds disposed of was 1922, 400, leav-
ing bonds in the amount of $3.O23s2OO IN
