London. Jan. Administer Hayashi re-
ceived this morning the text OF the Jap
anese reply to Russia's last note. 1t does
not contain an ultimatum but reiterates
Japans original demands with what Bar
on Hayashi terms "a modification upon a
minor point
The questions OF Chinese sovereignty IN
Manchuria and Japan's sphere OF infiu-
ence IN Korea are reinsdsted upon.
Minister Hayash said to a representa-
tive of The Associated Press:
80 far as can see the relations OF the
two powers regarding the dispute prac-
tically are unchanged. have no indica-
ton OF the reception this note Is likely 10
meet at the hands OF the Russian govern
ment but 1 expect the negotiations viii
continue for several weeks.
TO PREVENT WAR.
Paris..Jan. 1.-THE intention on the
part OF certain European powers to find
means TO prevent the Russo-Japanese
controversy drifting into actual war, has
begun 10 assume definite proportions
though until today the means were con-
fined 10 an exchange OF views between
the cabinets az TO what course was desir-
able
1t can be asserted positively that no
tender OF mediation or good offices has
yet been made 10 Japan or Russia, as II
is tho accepted view that grave moment
which would warrant representations
from the outside has not been reached
On the contrary the offi1al view here
continues TO expect a peaceful solution,
without outside pressure. The expeota-
ton II borne out by the latest official ad-
vices.
One Of the dispatches sent from Toxic
last night alleged Japan's answer had
not been forwarded up to that time. which
leads the officials TO question the pes
simistic reports based on the statements
that Japan's answer had already been de-
livered and further defers any steps which
may be taken toward advising the two
parties 20 terminate thu controversy.
HAVE CLEAR UNDERSTANDING.
The cabinets I'm London and Paris have
arrived at a quite clear understanding as
10 what will be done I'm the eventuaiity
OF war becoming n reality. This will not
be a tender OF mediation The form Of
the representations viii be that known IN

diplomatic usage. as a tender of good Of
fees. This consists mainly IN giving
friendly advice for the maintenance OF
peace In the present case II Is likely
TO include rathed definite suggestions tina I
the outside powers consider that the main
questions causing the present difficulties
are entirely susceptible to pacific ADJUST
ment.
How far the other cabinets OF Europe
and the United States will give moral or
actual support to the friendly representa-
tions Is an open question. as the exchange
Of views have thus far been confined
mainly 20 London and Paris. But through
out the exchanges there has been n strong
sentiment that the united influence OF
Duropo and the United States should give
at least neral neral supRert TO the Efforts to
the main factors In the strong belief in
official quarters during the last few days
that the Russo-JsTfanese issue could not
eventuate in war.

Indian was found In one of the
workings. tie had been killed by. a
fall from the roof while engaged in
collecting atacamite. in a small
basket, which was still in his hand,
his stone implements being found
alongside.
The body Is in a perfect state Of
preservation. due to impregnation
of the tissues by copper salts as we'll
as to the aptiseptic action of the
exceedingly dry climate.
AS these mines were unknown to
the early Spanish colonists, it Is to
be Inferred that the body Is of CON
sidearble antiquity. This Is corrob-
Grated by the style of dress "a waist
cloth and two anklets) and by the
stone tools used 1t is probably us
old as 1000 A. ID.
Old gold washings adjoin the cop.
per formation of the north. Indians
worked on thin strata of auriferous
gravel. scooped out and washed in
"bateas. y" The remains of the
pools in which the washing was car.
led on are so distinctive as to admit
of no doubt about the system en-
ployed.
\ remarkable feature is that the
nearest water supply adequate for such
a purpose Is at least twevle miles
distant and 1000 feet below the
level of the gravel, Either the In
diaps carried the water by hand or
on the backs of llamas. or the climate
of this part of South America has
become rainless only within the
human epoch as suggested by Darwin.
