WAR SPIRIT IN JAPAN.
Said to Be Very Strong When the In
drasamaha Sailed.

VICTORIA, B. c., July 21.-The steamer
Understandable which arrived last night.
brought news that the war feeling in Japan
was stronger than ever when the steamer
sailed as result of the alleged conces-
sons made by the chinese government to
Russia. The increasing excitement of ia
panese papers is also accentuated by the
change of attitude of Prince CAing, who is
said to have gone over completely to the
Russian side.
The Kobe Chronicle says Admiral Hitak
ka, chief commander Of the Japanese
squadron. has addressed memorial to the
naval staff department suggesting the ad-
visibility of organizing the Japan squadron,
and also the necessity of formulating Il
plan Of defense and general operation from
the naval standpoint.
Count OkuHa. prominent Japanese
statesman, in an interview on the situation
said Japan should question Russia and ask
an explanation of her arbitrary conduct in
Corea and Manchuria, and should the an
SWer he unsatisfactory d strong protest
should be sent and the question at the same
time submitted to the other powers. In
taking such a step Japan must be pre-
pared to resort to arms II necessary At
present Japan was superior to RUSSIA in
arma!nents in the far east. and Japan's
cause was Il right one. However impru-
dent Russia might be, she would not ven
ture going to and risk offending all
the powers. and he believed the protest
would be successful.

ing the first six months, it Is understood
that the earnings of the company have
been equal to a dividend of per cent on

FOUGHT FOR COLONIES
WHO PARTICIPATED
IN AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
List Compiled Of Those Who Aided
This Country in Its First War With
England-Mr. Porter's Dispatch.

Acting Secretary Loomis has received a
dispatch from Ambassador Horace Porter
at Paris. in which he says:
Frequent application being made to this
embassy for Information concerning the
military record Of Frenchmen who took part
in our war of independence. 1t occurred to
me that the publication of complete and
official list of all those who had served in
the army and fleet which France sent to our
assistance at the time would make q useful
and valuable historical document, and dur
ing the year 1860. in an unofficial CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Delcasse, l proposed the
subject to him. He was glad Of the sug-
geStion, and afterward promised his active
aid in the preparation of such publica-
ton. 1t was agreed that an unofficial
Franco American commission should under
take the work and that all facilities for ac-
complishng the task would be given it by
the ministers Of war and of the navy.
appointed upon this commission the follow
ing members Of the society In France of the
Sons of the American Revolution. of which
1 am president: Mr.. Merou, French consul
at Chicago. honorary member of the so
ciety, who came to Paris and performed
invaluable service in forwarding the work;
Mr.. Edward P MacI4ean. Maj. Henry A
Huntington and Col. Chaille Long. After
about two years of hard work the task was
completed. The minister Of foreign af-
fairs there agreed to print the document
at the expense of the French government.
Last month he informed me that that had
been done. and stated that the French
ambassador had been instructed to- present
copies of the work to the secretaries Of
state. war and navy and public education
and to place besides 400 copies of it at the
disposal of our government.
Ambassador Porter inclOses copy and
translation of the note giving the agree
able information and says it is unneces-
sary to add that he thanked Mr.. Delcasse
in suitable terms for his graceful and gen.
erOuS act.
