STRAIN BECOMES GREATER

Tokio. Dec. 22.--It is asserted in official circles here that the Japanese reply to Russia rejects the fundamental points at issue which are understood ot include mu. tual guarantees for the preservation of Chinese and Corean sovereignty, while SC. curing their individual interests. The Sit- uation Is graver than since the oommence- ment of the negotiations, but is still sns- ceptibie to a pacific solution if Russia will quickly reconsider her reply.
 The fact that Foreign Minister M. Ko- mura called on Baron dc Rosen. the Rus- stan Minister, yesterday, instead of Baron de Rosen calling on Komura, Is explained by the fact that the Baron Is suffering from an ear affection. But the explana- ton has obvious diplomatic significance and is interpreted that Japan IS deter mined not to afford Russia possible ground for claiming Japanese impetuosity as an excuse. Komura's communication is not believed officially to necessarily be tantamount to an ttltimatum, as rumared.
 War preparations continue apaee. The transports and the warships can sail at five minutes notice. The Japanese gov ernment proposes immediately to under take the completion of the Seoul-Fusan Railroad under the direct supervision of Japan.
 Popular sentiment and the press are eagerly urging the government to set limit to the Russian tactics of aggres- sion and insolent negligence" .,

 A letter dated July g sets forth that the situation had changed and that the writer had notified oppenheim that all the French investors would be held to their individual liability. 4 postscript to this letter read thus:
 The Alarm Sounded.

Rogniat was very indignant and came to me.

 Tn the correspondence is included the following cablegrarn:

Attorneys wrangle Over The Worlds
 Publication.

New York. Dec 22.-The hearing in the United States ShlpbuiIding receivership proceedinRs was postponed today until tomorrow on account of the illness of Counsel Untermyer of the suing bond holders.
 Before the examiner announced the ad- journment, Mir. Guthrie, counsel for Schwab and others, made statement re- garding the publication of letters and telegrams that passed between the firm of Alexander & Green regarding the French underwriters. Mir. Guthrie said in part; ess
 IT desire to call the examiners atten- ton to the publication fin negspaper in. this city this faorhiug of the letters. teieafams and cables which have been the object of Examination at several hear ings before you. P
 ''aFhese letters. telegrains and cables were not exhibited in evidence because Mir. Alexander felt constrained to plead privilege and confidence because they were the private communications from members of law firm in relation to pri- vate business of their clients. Pending the ruling of the court on the question of. adrnissibility of those communications which you would certify to the court, and while these letters, telegranns and cables were claimed to DC privileged, they were furnished to a newspaper and published this morning. We understand this publi- cation to be a direct contempt of court, and that the person guilty of causing their publication Is guilty of gross con- tempt We ask you, therefore, that at the next hearing We may temporarily suspend the taking of testimony of complainant witnesses and take testimony as to the person who gave publication to these let- ters, cables and telegrams."
 Mr. Woolman, associate counsel with Samuel Untermyer. replied:
 ''If there is to be any insituation that Mir. Untermyer or myself had anything to do with giving publication to these communications, here declare that 1t is absolutely untrue. Neither MT. Inter niyer nor myself had anything to do with the giving out of these letters, telegrams and cables to the newspaper. Mir. Gu tErie knows there are many copies of them in existence. and that copies could easily be obtained. I was as much sur prised at seeing them published thls morning as MT. Guthrie could have been"
 'T hope so for the good name of the bar" exclaimed MT. Guthrie.
 You have done much in this case against the good name of the bar, Mir. Guthrie replied MT. Woolman. Your course has been reprehensive. I do not know nor do 1 care what the law Is, but the persons who gave these communica- tions to the press ought to be punished. I do not object to MT. Guthrie's insitua- ton when MT. Guthrie knows, as he does. how easy it Is to get these copies."
 After some further discussion between counsel, it was agreed they should CO., operate in an effort to learn who gave out the communications in question.

COLOMBIA ASKS QUESTIONS.
Thinks United States is Not Up-
 holding Treaty of 1S46.

Bogota, Saturday, Dec. 22.-Dr. Louis Carlos, Ricos, Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, has cabled General Reyes at Wash ington, under date of December Is, as follows:
 If the explanation which the United States Government has given to the press is of diplomatic character. answer clear ing the following points:
 By the treaty of 1S46. the United States did not acquire control over interoceanic transit but entered into obligations by which. for compensatory favors it guar anteed the neutrality. property and sov- ereignty of the Isthmus, the sovereignty being indivisible.
 "If the United States Government pre- vents the Government of Colombia from subduing the rebels, then it ought to sub init them to Colombian authority.
 '"The United States has never protected Colombia against foreign invasion. when- ever that Government has interfered to prevent the interruption. 1t has been be- cause of rights granted or at Coombia's request Early in this instance. 1t intei- ferd on its own initiative with the evil dent object of protecting the secessionists on the Isthmus.
 'Tf the guarantee of neutrality were to be looked upon as a privilege, it would prevent the sovereign government from keping order on the Isthmus. which is against the principles of all governments. The protocols of 1897 did not grant any new rights to the United States much less the right of dominating this territory.
 ''The Hay-Herran treaty did not mod fly the obligations which the United States contracted by the treaty of ISa6 to guarantee the neutrality. sovereignty and property of the Isthmus. When this treaty was disapproved. no neY proposI- tions were made.
 '"The orders given by the United States Government to it's navy helped to favor the secession movement, and Colombia was at peace when this movement was begun.
 ''The conduct of the Washington execu- live has been and now is favorably every way to the rebellion. but not to the main tenance of order, which is contrary to the principles and antecedents of the United
