Advices to London Papers From the
Far East Regarding the
Situation

LONDON, January 4.-''Don't look for a
declaration OF war" says the Daily Tele-
graphs Tokyo correspondent. in a dispatch,
which apparently throws considerable
light on the plans OF the Japanese govern
ment Continuing. the correspondent says:
THE Japanese are quite determined, and
several days ago took steps to secure GER
tain of their Corean interests. Russia will
not be allowed TO occupy Corean ports, and
certainly neither Mokpho or Masampho
both of the ports being protected against
seizure.
Japan means business without waiting
for the convenience OF others. II Russia
feels aggrieved a fortnight should show the
extent TO which she will venture. The In
terest should begin TO center nearer Seoul
than Tokyo within ten days
1T Is thought. despite her buster. that
Russia will 10 immediate action TO
prevent JapS .Ig what she thinks proper
10 safeguard her interests in Corea."
The foregoing probably refers to the dis
patch OF the squadron to MasaInpho. Ad-
miral kumimura's squadron consists OF the
armored cruisers Asama. Tokiwa. Ad1uma
1dzums, Iwate and Yakumo, all with a
speed from twenty to twenty-three knots.
Within a few days the cruisers Kasaga
and Niasn, formerly Morono ana Riva-
davia. respectively, which were bought by
ment OF Argentina. and which were built
at Genoa, will be formally delivered to
Japan. Immediately on their delivery the
japanese flag will be run up and the jap
anese legation hopes thereby 10 avoid any
objections on the part Of the Italian gov
eminent regarding the sailing OF the cruis-
ers should hostilities commence before they
are ready to put to sea.
The Associated Press learns that no little
excitement prevails among the officers OF
the British home squadron, who are under
the impression that they may at any mo-
ment be ordered to replace the channel
squadron, which would be sent to the Med
fterranean should the government deem II
advisable TO strengthen it's naval force In
the far east. In the homo squadron, which

ssys an old Chinese proverb. meaning that
China does not mako soldiers Of intelligent
men, That simple phrase 10 not merely an
anti-militarist profession Of faith, but also
the expression Of profound loathing for
the trade of arms. That loathing has been
a marked characteristic Of Chinese thought
ever since Confucius. A people essentially
agricultural. Industrial and scholarly, the
Chinese have 30 great a horror Of war, 30
great dislike for the use Of force that
they have even converted the conquering
dynasty which rules them to the same
opinions.
The European occupation after tho Boxer
uprising changed all that. The Chinese

ace in 1850. They have since seen Pichili

throughout the country will go into execu-
ton with all prOmptitude. We think of
China as immovable. because she is slow to
reach decision; we think her worn with
age because her civilization is ancient. In
reality China is a new country; she has
proved by the rapid growth of her COM
merce and by her successful competition
abroad that she has both energy and initia-
tive, and we need not be surprised If the
few Europeans who really know the middle
kingdom predict that the Chinese in their
reforms, and especially in their military re-
form, will move quicker than the Japanese.

the result, for Europe. Beaten off by the
Chinese. the Huns hurled themselves to-

The Awakening.
Tho awakening has come. China after
twenty centuries has begun the reorganiza-
ton Of her army. There will never be an

Japanese officer recently. speaking Of the
Boxer trouble; and he added this: III the

ter" Yuan-Shi-Kai had organized in his
viceroyalty OF Shan Tung an army corps OF
about 10000 men. well armed, we'll trained

Hung Chang the post of Pichili was given
QR November. 19OD to Yuan-Shi-Kai.
Every one familiar with the forces at work
in the far east saw in this circumstance a
very clear indication Of what was coming.
The new viceroy must make 1t his mission
to accomplish the great and pressing task
of the moment, namely. the reorganization,

There Is at present no central Chinese
army, for the Manchu troops called stand
ard bearers, do not merit that name. Until
the present time the vtceroys and governors
have had each their own troops from which
fact one will, of course. see that these d.
verge corps, without uniformity and with
out unity. could not make up an organiza-
ton properly SO called. To make an end

Several measures have already been taken
to this effect-the purchase Of arms and

object tho military reorganization Of Mon
