Chinese Situation Causes Many Pro.
tests by the Powers.
The political atmosphere of japan
during the last week has been thick
with rumors Of impending war. The
signal for their birth was the ar
rival of General Kouropatkin, Russian
minister of war. The immediate
cause of the angry sentiment is sue
cession Of reports Of Chinese diplo-
matte intrigue with Russia at Picking
and Of the Russian encroachment
upon Korea.
On the 18th 1t was wired that Mr..
Uchida. Japanese minister at Picking,
the day before filed formal demand
on the Chinese authorities to open
.doukden and Tai Tung Kout to for
eign trade and requested them not to
accept even one article of the Rus
sian demands. AS to the opening of
the ports in question, the Chinese au-
thorities replied that the circum-
stances were not favorable for compli-
ance. The British charge d'affaires,
Mr. Townley, was reported to have
taken the same stand as Japan. The
United States demand for the opening
of the harbors is in addition to the
other demands. In this connection.
negotiations are under way between
Secretary Hay and the Chinese am
bassador In Washington. This reply
TO the Japanese demand created a
movement in government circles.

VENEZUELAN REBELS BEATEN.
Government Troops Capture soIedad
strategetic Position.

Soledad, which is strategic posi-
ton opposite Ciudad, Bolivar. on the
Orinoco river. has been taken by the
Venezuelan government troops. It is
believed that the government troops
will make landing on that side Of
the river upon the arrival of General
Gomez, the government commander-in-
chief. 1t is learned through deserters
that General Gomez, before entering
the valley of the Orinoco, defeated the
revolutionists under General Antonio
Paredes. who surrendered Puerto
Cabelloo in 1889, and who was sub
sequently captured by the liberals
near Irapa
General Gomez thus secured the
safety Of his rear guard. Notwith.

contrary in government circles. It is
not believed that General Rolando,
who holds Ciudad Bolivar will be able
to resist the governments attack.
