ON WAR FOOTING.
Japan Is Completing Final PreliminarieI
Britain Will Take Loan.

Britain Will Take Loan.
Yokohama, Dec. 31.-The govern
ment is completing the final prelimi-
naries for placing the country on wal
footing. Imperial ordances issued au-
thorize the government to make an un-
limited issue of treasury bonds to pro-
vide war funds, creating special coun-
Gil of war, and fixing the imperial head
quarters.
In the event of war, if special issue
of war bonds is made, it is understood
that the bnods can be foated in Eng
land, whence it is said assurances have
come that the money would be forth
coming.
The ministers and executive chief dis
cussed the situation for three hours
yesterday, but nothing regarding their
deliberations was made public.
The ordinance passed Yesterday by
the cabinet council authorizing guar
antee of the principal and interest OF
an issue of 10000, 200 yen debentures
for the purpose of expediting work on
the Seoul-Fusan railway, and which
provided for all possible military ex-
penses for the protection of the railway
and other interests, also authorized the
government to utilize 50,00O,OO0 yen,
the proceeds of the Chinese war in
demnity, which hitherto has been de-
voted to educational and other pur-
poses, as a war fund. In addition,
authorization is given to issue treasury
notes, repayable in five years, and to
raise loans repayable in two years to
an unlimited extent.

JAPAN AFTER wARShIPS.
Negotiations for Two Chilean Vessels are

Under Way.
London, Dec. 29.-Japan is negotiat-
ing for the purchase of two Chilean
warships, the armored cruiser Esmer-
aida and another, probably the battle
ship Captain Prat, which are for sale.
1t is now only matter of price. Ne
gotiations with other South American
governments for the purchase of war
ships are also in progress.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis
ter to Great Britain, said to a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press today,
relative to these negotiations:
eve want more ships. OF course,
this is only precautionary measure,
and it may be lot of expense all for
nothing. have no indication of the
nature of the Russian reply. Per-
sonally I scarcely expect it will be de-
livered for some little time. There is
no truth whatever in the report that
Japan's last note stipulated time
limit"
Asked anent the dispatch from Ber-
lin saying the British government re-
ported to the czar that Great Eritain
"deemed Japan's demands just, and
earnestly expected that Russia would
grant them,". Baron Hayashi, while he
was not aware of the precise action
taken by Great Britain and St. Peters
burg, said:
'The British government is we'll
aware that Japan will be obliged to go
to war unless Russia modifes the po-
sitiOn Shah as taken in har 1aet noto >,
At the foreign Office here nothing is
yet known of the probable nature of
the Russian reply. .H.

ASKS FOR AMERICAN wARShIP.
Minister Powell Deems the Situation at
Santo Domingo Grave.

Washington, Dec. 31.-With three
revolutions raging on the island, the
forces of Jiminez within four hours of
Santo Domingo City, and excitement
prevailing, Minister Powell thinks the
situation demands the presence of an
additional warship, and in a cablegram
dated yesterday appeals to the state de-
partment for aid. In anticipation OF
the crisis which appears to have ar
rived, the state department has already
taken steps to send another warship to
Santo Domingo, and at its request Sec
retary Moody yesterday cabled Rear Ad-
miral Lamberton, commanding the
South Atlantic squadron, now at Trini-
dad, to dispatch one of his vessels to
Santo Domingo at full speed to assist
the gunboat Newport in protecting
Americans and other interests.
Admiral Lamberton late today cabled
the navy department from Trinidad
that he has sent the Scorpion to rein
force the Newport in Dominican waters.

DEATH IN WRECK.
Head.On Train Collision In Michigan
Costs Is Lives.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 29.-
Eighteen are dead and 81 injured, sew
eral of them fatally, as the result of the
collision early this evening of two pas
senger trains on the Pere Marquette
railroad, one-half mile west of East
Paris, about six miles east of this city.
The collision, which was head on, was
caused, according to statement issued
by the ofit ials of the road at the gen.
eral offices in Detroit, by the high wind
blowing out the red signal lamp at Nc
Cords, where the west-bound train,
No.5, should have stopped and re-
ceived orders to pass the east bound
train at Fox. The officials deny the re-
port that misunderstanding of orders
on the part of one of the engineers was
responsible for the collision.
According to the statement of the
officials, the trains were originally to
have met and passed at Oakdale Park,
but to help the east-bound train the
dispatcher issued new orders, fixing
Fox as the meeting place. The east
bound train received this. order, and
the west-bound train should have re-
celved the same order at McCord's.
Instead it rushed by this station, and
the operator there, after reporting this
fact, found on going out on his platform
that his red light, which had been
burning two minutes before, was out,
presumably extinguished by the high
wind that was blowing.
The trains met with terrible crash,
the baggage and smoking cars behind
each locomotive being instantly reduced
to pile of kindling wood. The en-
gines were completely wrecked, the
boiler of the engine which had pulled
the east bound train being torn COM
pletely torn from the running gear and
standing perpendicularly in ditch at
the side of the track.
