CHINA'S DENIAL
HAS NOT BROKEN NEUTRALITY
Neutral Territory.-chinese Ban
dts In the Russian Army.

Washington. Jan. 25.-Chiua's an
swer to the American governments
communication calling attention TO the
Russian charges that the Chinese
were violating neutrality. was deliv-
cred to Secretary Hay to-day by the
Chinese minister.
Regarding the charge that the Chin
ese bandits were enlisted in the Jap
anese army. the Chinese government
calls attention to the fact that they
were enlisted first by the Russians as
frontier guards and fought against the
japanese army II II is true. as al
legged. that they enlisted in the Japan
ese army, that Is matter for the bel
lfgerenfs. In the opinion of the Chin
ese government the subjects of q neu-
trail power have the right as private
citizens to enlist in q foreign army.
This Is an established fact in the law
OF nations. for which China cannot be
held responsible Whenever these
bandits entered Chinese neutral zone
every effort was made for their arrest
and punishment. and In most cases
they have been arrested.
I'VE find no japanese officers in our
northern army at all. We do find in
the government school at Paotingpu.
several Japanese translators. All OF
them. however, had been engaged be-
fore the war. and after hostilities
broke out they were required to give
their word of honor to have nothing to
do with the conflict These are on
the same footing as Russians and the
other foreigners in educational institu-
tons throughout the empire and In our
maritime customs houses. China fur
ther regards this as matter OF inter
nal administration of which no other
government has cause to complain"
The Maotao islands are said to have
been used by the japanese as base
for their navy. The Chinese govern
meut for the past year has stationed
a swift, cruiser Haiki TO watch these
Islands. and the local project sum
moned there the gunboat Haipu TO pa
troll those waters. No sign OF any
landing OF Japanese has been reported
to the government.
The Chinese government considers
that Russia has violated neutrality in
number of instances. Bridges have
been built by the Russians west of the
Lao river and Russian troops have en-
camped on the west side OF the river
which is supposed to mark the bound
airy line of the neutral zone. In many
places in the neutral zone the Rus
slams have forced the sale OF proyis-
ions. The Chinese have made many ar
rests of Russians smuggling ammuni-
ton. arms and other contraband arti'
cles.

Peasants Wants Are Few.
The Cuban peasant has never

scraped with a steel wire gives forth
a sound similar to that produced by
drawing a lath rapidly along a picket
fence.
The family Of the Cuban farmer is
often numerous. but rs household ex-
penses are few. The house itself be

BY the new eighteen-hour schedule

York and Chicago over the New York
Central and the Lake Shore. with close
connections with the Santa Fe at Chi
cago, the west is placed in twelve
hours closer communication with the
east than 1t was two weeks ago.
A letter mailed at $3.50 o'clock in the
afternoon of July was delivered to
the general offices of the Santa Fe in
Los Angeles at 8 o'clock a. m. July II,
or three days and fourteen hours across
the continent, which Is the fastest reg
ular mail service ever attempted.
Formerly the Santa Fe's fast train
failed to make connections at Chicago
with the New York express and United
States mail from the east was held
there for many hours, With the placing
in service of the eighteen-hour trains,
the Santa Fe changed it's schedule SO
