Paris. Oct. 13.-The Figaro this morn- ing publishes an interview with M. Kur- ino, the Japanese Minister here, on the subject of the dispatch to the Frank furter Zeitung to the effect that the Jap anese have occupied Ma-San-Pho, and that an official declaration of war Is ex- pected. M. Kurino said the source of the dispatch was suspicious, as Shanghai was notoriously the originating point of bogus rews. He personally had not received any confirmation of the report.

 Moreover, my Governments last com munications were wholly pacific. For the present at least, our diplomatic relations with Russia are cordial and no tension exists between the two governments, whatever certain foreign newspapers say I am inclined to think that the dispatch was a speculative manoeuvre."

the request of J. Campbell Thompson, counsel
for Reginald W. Rives. of No. IL East Thirty
frst-st, who desires Mr.. Wood to show cause
why he should not be prosecuted for criminal

tooling the Pioneer through Central Park. On
the seat beside him was Alfred Gwynne Van
