AID OF CHINA Is NOT WANTED.


San Francisco, March 15..--Baron NJ B..
kaneko, an ex-Japanese minister of ag-
riculture and commerce, and member
OF the Japanese parliament, who has
arrived here en- route TO Washington,
and the st. lodis exposition, said to-
day:
Il do not understand what you
Americans and Europeans mean when
you speak of the yellow peril If you
believe that the japanese intend to
unite with the other members of the
yellow race aid overrun Europe and
America, you are very much mistaken.
l think it would be wiser to beware of
the Muscovite peril. 1t is much more
dangerous.
"As regards the neutrality OF China
we expect to take the same position as
outlined by Secretary Hay. The in
tegrity of China must be preserved at
all costs. We do not want her for our
ally, and il she enters the war, it must
be as an independent nation.
Japan is prepared to fight this war
to a. finish without foreign Interrupt
ton. She is fighting to preserve the
peace OF Asia and not for any ambit-
ious purposes.
we are in this war to win and we
are prepared to remain in it as long as
Russia does. Our finances are in the
best OF condition and we can always
Issue special war tax if it should be-
come necessary.

London, March l8.--It is subject
Of increasing remark and conjecture in
the press that nothing has been heard
OF the vladivostok squadron, and II is
beginning to be believed 1t is really in
side the harbor of vladivostok.
The correspondent Of the Morning
Post at Toxic throws light upon Jap
ans financial intentions, and says 1t is
estimated that Japan will be able to
maintain war for Is months without
borrowing abroad. The policy is to re-
tain the gold in Japan, and II is be-
lieved 1t will not be necessary to spend
abroad more than one-eighth of the
cost of the war, this expenditure being
chiefly on coal, cordite and steel.
II may be remarked that the British
newspapers all regard Vice Admiral To-
COS report that he has laid mines at
Port Arthur as mere bluff and they
say such feat would be impossible un-
der fire.

TO permit Prince Louis Napoleon to go
to the Far East, is much commented
on.
The correspondent says that six new
torpedo boats have been sent out of the
Newsky yards, and that ten others,
modelled after the French torpedo boat
Cyclone, are being completed, and
probably will be sent by railway TO
Port Arthur.
In the course OF his conversations In

General Kouropatkin repeated his de-

While Governor Herrick has not pro
claimed a state OF martial law, such
condition practically exists in the
downtown formerly occupied by the
negro resorts. Ten companies OF the
Ohio National Guard are ON picket
duty, and seven more companies are
expected here before morning The

While there are l5 900 negroes in this
city, none was seen anywhere tonight.
The body of Dixon, the negro, was pri-
vately inferred here tonight in Fern

to remain closed is observed, but no at

nation for people to keep off the
streets, which was issued at noon.
The mob has at no time shown dis
position to burn property other than
that on the levee. The loss from last

IDAHO TO BE SWIFT.


Washington, March 14.-Unless I'M
foreseen obstacles are encountered, the
batfleship Idaho will become part of
the United States navy early in the
spring OF 1907. Under the terms OF a
contract recently made with the Cramp
snipbuilding company, OF Philadel-
phia, the Idaho and her sister ship,
the Mississippi, are to be constructed
at their yard at an aggl egate cost Of
~, $780, 800, the contract period being
AZ months. Plans for these ships
have been completed and turned over
TO the contracting firm, and already
steps have been taken looking to the
construction of the two vessels.
The navy department has embodied
in the Idaho the most modern ideas in
naval architecture. While not as
great as some of the vessels in modern
navies, the Idaho is designed to be an
all-around machine, not only capable
of withstanding an attack from the en-
envy, but OF being able to engage or
give chase to the enemy il need be.
In other words, the Idaho embodies
the best features of the modern battle
ship and cruiser combined.

SECRETS FOR SALE.


Paris, March 12.-In spite of offic-
ial reticence and denials from the jap
anese legation here, it is affirmed that
a noncommissioned officer named Mar
tin, who was employed in the ministry
of marine, and who is now under ar
rest, attempted to sell French naval Sc
crets to naval attache at the japanese
legation.
The discovery of this alleged at
tempt came as result Of the acciden-
tai opening Of letter addressed to the
noncommissioned officer by naval
captain OF the same name. The letter
was from an intermediary, but it indi-
Gated the principals in the affair. 1t
is alleged that several women are inn
plicated, and one of them has con-
fessed.
1t appears now that only one docu-
ment is missing from the ministry of
marine, but it is possible that Martin
photographed and replaced others. 1t
is not probable that the information
alleged to have been stolen got beyond
the Intermediary, and it is said the
Japanese naval attache, who is sup
posed to have been in indirect commu-
nication with Martin, sailed for home
on board one of the cruisers which Jap
an purchased from Argentina.

READY FOR WAR IN BALKANS


st. Petersburg, March 11.-Careful
inquiry concerning the outlook in the

vailing opinion in government, as well
as diplomatic circles, is against an out

A perfect understanding exists between
Russia and Austria, and besides, the
Russian authorities appear to be salts

with direct information from other
sources, representing Bulgaria as hav-
ing her army under mobilization, with
having her plans perfected for an in

dent that she can defeat the Turks sim

WAR COST NOT A DEAD LOSS
Russia Figures That Most Of n,
Money VIII Go to Her Peonls


Paris, March "a st. Petersb,
dispatch gives an interview with n
Kokovzev, to whom has been intrusta
the raising of funds required for n,
conducting of the war.
Even on the most unfavorable i,
pothesis," he says, 'the vital forces 4
the empire cannot be effected Tn
expenditure must not be looked unor
from European viewpoint, or com
pared, for example, with the Souh
African struggle. Would Russia han
to spend, for example, $50 OO0eN
francs for the purchase of horses ont
side of her domains? Hardly. Al I'M
maximum she will expend but 10Ood
600 francs, and this will be exclusive
ly expended in Russia. The cost d
the transport of the troops, and SUD
plies, also, will be paid over to d.
state railway.
I'm a general way, it can be STATED
that the money expended from the ns
tional treasury will not be the dead
loss that the cost of the Transvaa war
was to Great Britain. Most of 1t willu[
timately benefit the Russian nsf
chants and manufacturers It wsun
be gross exaggeration to suppose
that the war will entail a gross en-
penditure on Russia of one-quarter d
the total of the cost of the war b
South Africa to the British govern
ment."
