absolutely every dollar contributed by the pub

child to the county. keeping him there for two
weeks ami bringing him back again. Every So

honor Of the day and with desire 10 participate
in the celebration from purely American stand

kindly, unselhsh and sincere spirit toward America

that I declined the offer of an American flag to
float side by side with my flag I will say that the
citizen making the protest stipulated that the
British flag be taken down or an American flag
hoisted over IL.

VAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Japan Planning Final Stroke Before
Vet Season, 1t Is BeLieUed.
IRON THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.

" washington. July 1.-THE continued activity
Oh the japanese has surprised the military ex-
Perts. who expected a prompt cessation of any
thing bordering upon hostiIities on the advent
OF the rainy season in Manchuria. It is becorn-
ing evident, say the army officers to-day at the
war Department, that the japanese are re-
Sourceful; that they are not disposed to be
oiocked IL any Of their plans by the weather
Ihey express the opinion also that the Japan
csc are planning q final stroke before the wet
season interferes with all movements This
encounter is destined to occur, officers here saw
provided the Russians will stand still long
enough.
The greatest difficulty which the Japanese
nave met in their campaign in Nanchuria has
oeen the elusiveness of the enemy This ac-
counts for the insignificance Of the engare-
nents, none Of which compares with the heavy
fighting during Americas Civil War The cas-
ualties show that the encounters in Manchuria
have not been of the class of battles. and there
is some doubt now whether the Russians Will
allow any such CHARACTER of fighting to take
place If the Russians make a stand there
must be collision Of moment and if there is
no such resistance then the Japanese will add
TO the advantage which has been theirs in the
last month
Whatever may be the idea Of the Russians in
retreating, 1t is now believed that the situation
as disclosed in the dispatches from the Far
East to-day shows them surrendering important
strategic points to the invaders, who have ex-
hloited sagacity and adroitness in their nanoeu-
Vres. The qualities Of strategy, say the Amert-
can officers have so far been entirely with the
japanese and the rainy season comes to in
terfere with further important manoeuvring
and to find the Russians shut out of territory
which they should have held all along. The
military expert explanation. of this Russian in
oir1erence is based on the ground of lack of men
since every movement Of the Japanese appears
10 be unimpeded. The occupation Of the country
ABOUT New-Chwang by the Japanese is regarded
as an incident Of great Importance and Aneri-
can oracers cannot understand why the Rus
SANS permitted it, If they were able TO prevent
It, Inc prospects Of a big battle within a week
or TWO are only interfered with by the chance
that the Russians viii not wait for the bIo7- r.
be delivered
