4. w. Hellyer, an Englishman by
birth, but for thirty-four years past
engaged in the tea business at Kobe,
Japan, stopped in st. Paul yesterday
while on his.Way back to Japan after a
stay@sof six months In the United
States Mr.. HeIlyer is an ardent Jap
anese sympathizer In the present war
between Japan and Russia. He be-
neves Japan will whip Russia on the
sea.
: IF Japan Is able to cripple the Rus
sian heetza Port Arthur she will con-
troll the. situation at. sea-" said Mr.
-Heliyer. The people of Japan have the
greatest confidence In both their army
and navy and they think or the end
OF the. war only as japanese VIC
tory -,
.IfaJapan wins 1t means everlasting
peace IN the far East. for England and
America especially England, will see
that she is not compelled to relinquish,
anything. that might be gained in this
struggle AS matter of fact Japan
Is lighting the war of England and
America as well as for herself Her I'M
selfish motives have won for her the
sympathy of both America and Eng
land, and while Japan does not expect
I any help from either Of these countries
IN the. present war she knows that thel
influence ofArthese two great nations
will go far towards preventing any 9TH =
er country from interfering.
ID am we'll acquainted with many OF
the prominent men Of Japan, and not
one Of them Is afraid Of interference
on the part efIFrance. Russia herself
would not welcome assistance from
France, for ftawould mean that Eng
. roIx "A
come ITO Japan's rescue should the
French government take q hand.
This war is something the Japa-
nese, have been looking and preparing
for for many years. No country was
ever better prepared to go to war than
was Japan. For years 1.-The Japanese
have been studying the conditions in
Russia, and while on paper 1t looks as
though Russia had it all her own way,
such is not true. Japan knows Russia's
every weakness; it was possessed Of
this knowledge when 1T went into the
war, and the subsequent developments
have shown that it was much to her
advantage
Japan has long realized that If she
attained a place among, the fighting
countries that she must do so by means
OF her navy, and to this end Japan has
built up one of the most modern and
strongest navies in the world. She is
the only country in the Orient that has
a modern navy"
n Mr.. Hellyer said the people of Jap
an were highly appreciative of = the
friendship of the United States They
look upon the United States as pow
erful and model country, and 1t Is with
muchg pride thar manys of them call
Japan. the United States Of the Orient.
/ Mr.. Hellyer has grown wealthy in the
tea importing business during the
thirty-four years, he has been engaged
In It. He says 80 per cent of the tea
shipped from japan comes to America
and the greater part Of the balance
goes; to Canada. He viii leave today
for Winnipeg from where he will go
to San Francisco and sail on an Amer
lean steamer for Japan. -,s4a l
Kobe, like Yokohama, is situated so
far up the bay that there Is no danger
of an invasion by the Russian feet,
no matter how the war progresses. 7

can. uprising among the enemies of
King Alfonso would not create any
surprise in Spain; in fact, the Spanish
people are expecting a revolution at
most any moment, and when it comes
the government is most likely to be
overthrown.'
So declared Gaspar Del Pima, native
Of Madrid, but now resident of Cuba,
where he owns vast tobacco planta-
tons and other valuable interests.
Senior Del Pima was at the Ryan yes
terday en- route to the Western coast.
He expects to remain in America some
weeks, returning to Cuba early in May.
my mother recently returned to
Cuba from SPAIN" said Senior Del
Pima, land while there she learned
that there was strong feeling against
the young king. The people feel that he
is too young and that he is too wild.
Many of the stories printed about him
in the American papers are exagger-
ated, but the greater part of them are
true. King Alfonso is right In many
things, but he has too many foolish
youthful ideas that the Spanish cannot
indorse. A revolution in Spain is bound
crown of the boy king will be in great
danger
Speaking of conditions in Cuba, Senior
Del Pima said they were most salts
factory
1.-THE Cubans have confidence in Presi-
dent Palma and they have confidence
in the present form of government"
said the senior. ut is pretty generally
conceded that President Palma will
be re-elected. The tobacco crop in
Cuba this year is better than it has
been for years, and feeling of general
contentment prevails over the island.
THE only thing which is bothering
the Cubans at the present time is their
national debt, but even with this debt
they appreciate their freedom.
America gets most of our Cuban
tobacco, although England is a heavier
buyer of manufactured goods. The
step towards reciprocity between Amer
lea and Cuba has benefited the Cuban
manufacturers and the trusts of the
United States more than it has the
legitimate manufacturers of this coun-
try. The duty taken off the raw ma
terfal IN the form of tobacco is too
small when compared with that taken
off the manufactured goods. The re-
suit is that more finished goods are
shipped into this country, compelling
the American manufacturers to COM
pete with Cuban labor"
Senior Del Pima, whose dark skin be-
speaks his nationality is a rather
short man of stout build and speaks the
English language fiuently. He is here
on business trip in connection with
his large tobacco house, which has it's
American headquarters in New York.

Count de Clermont Tonnerre, OF
Paris, dashing young lieutenant of
the French cavalry. who is touring
America for pleasure. is at the Ryan,
having stopped in St Paul for two days
sightseeing while en- route to Califor-
MIA and Old Mexico
Regarding the prospects of Francs
assisting Russia in the latter country s
present trouble with Japan, the count
was silent, dismissing the subject with
the remark that the army in France
knew but little of the political inten-
tons of the country.
The handsome young Frenchfnan,
while disinclined TO discuss politics.
talked enthusiastically OF America, and
when asked by T he Globe for his
impressions of this country he COM
piled with all the politeness for which
re gay Paree'' is so noted.
America Is such wonderful coun-
try" said the count as he pushed back
from voluninous but neatly kept
diary in which he daily jots down
things he desires to remember. TT is
surprising how willing the Americans
are to assist a stranger. I have no
in the hotels. 1t is something ] appre-
ciate."
Count de Clermont- Tonnerre has
been in America seven weeks. during
which time he has visited New York,
Baltimore, Washington, Chicago and a
number Of other American cities. as
well as some of the principal cities of
Canada. He will Visit California and
the City of Mexico before returning to
his duties in the French army in April.

count There Is so much push and
hurry here. / visited Baltimore shortly
after their great fire and on most piles
of ruins there were signs telling where
the firm was temporarily located. Their
immediate determination to rebuild a
greater city showed a spirit not seen
in foreign cities.
New York is great city; it is most
wonderful the way they do business
there. But it is not a city like Paris;
1T has not the grand buildings that
Paris has. And the streetsl They are
awful! You do not see such dirty
streets in Paris. Chicago is no better
so far as streets are concerned. In
Chicago last week I visited the big
packing houses and stock yards and
the sights almost made me sick.
But your American women: ali,
they are most charming, and SO pretty.
They are so free and frank, they as
tonish Parisians and at the same time
command respect and admiration.
shall not forget your women"
Count de Clermont-T onnerre is not
more than thirty-fve years old and he
is a splendid specimen of the dashing
and handsome young French army off,
Ger. At the present time he is enjoy
ing furlough.
