HAYASHl SCOTS AT
STORY OF THE DANES,
Nothing to Statement of Ships Fitted
Out by Japs.

Nothing To Statement of Ships Fitted
Out by Japs.
London, Oct 27.--Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister to Great Britain,
was asked tonight by the Associated
Press for his side of the statement
from Copenhagen that the Danish Min
istry of Marine was informed recently
that several ships were chartered at
Hull by the Japanese government TO
attack the Russian Baltic squadron,
and that thirteen Swedish vessels had
also been chartered by Japan for the
same purpose.
The Japanese minister said that no
ship had been chartered by his gov
eminent from Hull or elsewhere to de-
stroy the Baltic squadron. The char
tering and arming of thirteen ships,
Baron Hayashi said, would be impos-
sible in these waters. 1t would have
been necessary to man them with Jap
anese, and there are not enough Japa-
nese here. At Hull, the minister add
ed, there are two Japanese studying
the curing Of fish.
Minister Hayashi said the whole
story must have been concocted in or
der to throw dust in the eyes of the
Danish Minister of Marine and of the
world

with the Tonic giving him a dose
every two hours. within a week my
father was able to walk about the

second bottle. and under its use he has
grown strong. Although IS years old

The latter had been given by doting
and capable parents, every advantage
along the line in which she exhibited
decided taste and taIent-painting-
and was now making collection of
country sketches for future use in her

Mr.. Hammond reclined drOwsily in
seat. From half closed lids was seen
the rivers shimmering bosom. and to
his ears came the sound of approach
ing wheels. He stirred sufficiently to
behold carriage stop at the gate,
smiled, then returned to his doZe.
Lascar Wilmoth and Miss Blakeley
had been to the adjacent village. Evi-
IDENTIFY something there transpired to
strain the appearance Of friendship.
AS the carriage stopped Lascar sprang
to the ground. His extended hand
was but lightly touched by the lady
as she alighted, and her dark eyes
were fixed unswervingly ahead when
she walked away. The gentleman's
brown orbs danced with the very de
mon of mischief and his lips twitched.
But he did not dare !augiI-gracious,
no! The situation was entirely too Sc
riOus for that.
Ten minutes later Mr.. Hammond
was startled by slap on his shoulder
