London, Oct. 10.-The Japanese
minister here, Baron Hayashi, today
described the announcement made by
the London Daily Mails correspondent
at Kobe, japan, that Baron De Rosen,
the Russian minister to Japan, had
presented note TO the Japanese gov
ernment contending that Japan had no
just right TO intervene in the question
of the evacuation Of Manchuria, and
characterizing the proposed partition Of
Corea between Russia and Japan as be-
ing "fantastical and unworthy Of con-
sideration."
Regarding the report that the Russian
feet had arrived at Ma San Pho, Baron
Hayashi remarked Russia had only
about 30 warships in the whole far east,
and il would be physical impossible
ty on account Of coal and other supplies
for them to remain at Ma San Pho. II
would be the most unlikely place for
them TO 60 to even if Russia contem-
plated hostilities, as it is within easy
striking distance Of Japan's strong
naval base at Tsu, in the Straits ol
Corea. So far as Baron Hayashi
knows, it would be equally unreasona.
BILE for the Japanese to go to Ma San
Pho.

VOLCANO AGAIN ACTIVE.
Mauna LOa, In the InIand Of Hawaii, In
Eruption for q Day.

Honolulu, Oct. 10.-The volcano of
Mauna Loa, on the island of Hawaii, is
again in state of activity. The erup-
ton began yesterday at noon, and was
reported here today. When the ship
Ormphy, from Newcastle, passed the
island of Hawaii yesterday, from the
summit of the crater vast column Of
smoke with fire below descended. The
appearance of the lava flow at Kilauea
is normal with mild activity.
Further advices state that Maunaloa's IS
outbreak is very heavy. The flowing
lava makes a grand spectacle. Excur-
sions are being arranged from Honolu-
lu. A wireless message from Hilo to
the Advertiser says the volcano is very
active, and the lava flow is going to-
wards Kahuku cattle ranch. A mes
senger reports that two streams of lava
very wide may be seen from Volcano
house, Kilauea and all parts of the
Kona plantation. The glow is visible
in Hilo. 1t is believed the lava will
break out further down the mountain
No plantations or settlements are en-
dangered by the lava flow and the erup.
ton will be without material damage

pleasant consequence from the visit OF

least served to break the almost insup-
portable silence that had reigned within

hopeful words and soothing tones. And
