NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE
The Political Situation in
 Japan Is Quiet.
Japanese oficials Who Were Study. ing Abroad Have Been Called Home by Telegraph--Brit-
 ish Admirals Meet.

London, Oct. is.-The trend of today's information regarding the far Eastern situation is less alarming. The Frank furter Zeitung, whose sensational ari- nouncement of the occupation of MR-San- Pho by Japan yesterday occasioned dis- quiet, today publishes a telegram from Shanghai, saying there Is no confirmation of the reported occupation of that place. adding that the Russo-Japanese negctia- tions at Tokio concerning the evacuation of Manchuria gives the impression that the political situation in Japan Is quiet
 A Measuring Telegram.
 The Koelnische Zeitung also prints a reassuring telegram from St. Petersburg, repeating telegram from Port Arthur, stating that viceroy Alexiff hos issued a contradiction of .the reported movements of Japanese troops to Korea. The teie- gram adds that the reports circulated on the subject are evidently only intended to serve the purposes of speculation and provoke disquiet.
 A dispatch from Rome says that forty dye Japanese officials who have been studying at the military academy of Mo- dena and Raccogini, have been called to Japan by telegraph and immediately started for Brindisi to embark for Japan.
 Had No Significance.
 The meeting of the British admirals at Singapore had no connection with any special tension at present existing in the far East. The meeting was announced as far back as August S for the purpose of enabling the commanders of the East In- dian, China and Australian stations to confer with reference to general scheme whereby the three squadrons can be fused in the event of necessity instead of each being confined as heretofore to the sphere definitely assigned to its Jurisdiction. IL has been arranged that similar confer ence will be held annually.

 Slightly cooler weather set in last night and this. in the opinion of pr. Tabor. the State Health oficer. calsed the increase in the number of deaths. The doctor ex- presses the opinion that if the cold wealth CT continues. he will not be surprised if more deaths should occur tomorrow.
 Reports from Nuevo Laredo say eleven cases of yellow fever and eleven suspi- cious cases were reported yesterday. The condition of Consul Alonzo B. Garrett has taken a turn for the worse and grave fears for his recovery are entertained.
 The fever situation at Monterey Is un- changed. Reports are that two deaths and five new cases were recorded yester- day. No reports were received today from Victoria or LinareS.

This action
 has been taken by the insular bureau and no more silver will be purchased further than what is necessary to fulfill the ex- istinK stipulatlons with hints.

 Election Address.

Election Address.
 London, Oct. 13.-Colonial Secretary Lyttleton issued an election address to his constituents at Warwick and Leam- ington today in which he says he is in entire agreement swith the fiscal changes which MT Balfour and Mir. Chamberlain advocate" Mir. Lyttleton holds that the Government should be enabled to mitigate the inequality of foreign competition and to negotiate effectively for reduction of foreign tariffs on British goods by having the power to impose taxation on foreign manufactures. The Colonial Secretary is convinced the empire should be further knitted together by strengthening the commercial ties of its various parts by preferential tariffs. To secure closer ties with the colonies involves . readjustment of taxes on food, particularly affecting the poorer classes who should. therefore. have full opportunity minutely and de- liberately to, consider the matter. It should, therefore, be distinctly understood that there Is no proposal to impose prefer ential taxes for the colonies without fur ther reference to the electorate.
