HAY SENT NOTES TO JAPANESE.
Correspondence With the Empire Re
uealed.

Washington, April 14.-Official cor
respondence made public at the state
department yesterday discloses the
fact that the japanese government In
announcing to the American minister
at Toxic on February of last year
the breaking of diplomatic relations
with Russia assured him that HOSTILE
ties would not begin until after a dec
laration had been made. The cores
pondence comprises so much of the
diplomatic exchanges between Wash
ington and Toxic as the department
thinks it expedient to publish ana
among the first is the following OIL
cial paraphrase of cablegram from
Minister Griscom, dated American
Legation, Toxic, February 6, 1904:
MIR Griscom reports that the min
lister for foreign affairs stated that
declaration of war will not be made
until after the withdrawal of their le-
CATION, which will probably take two
or three days, and hostilities will not
begin until after the declaration of
war. In an interview the minister for
foreign affairs went ]ver the whole
course of the negotiations. directed

tience and moderation OF the attitude

clock and continued for hours. Had it
come, however, at a time when the
workmen were on the scene. there
would have been large fatality.
A solid column of earth twenty feet
in diameter was thrown 200 feet into
the air. A sort of mud lava followed
the eruption. 1t boiled up, filling the
chasm, and ran over in streams from it.
The sand and oily muck and stones
that had been hurled heavenward fell
over an area of many acres.
The Humble field has been marked
by several subterranean disturbances,
but none of this character. Oil opera
tors say they have never seen the like
of it in any field.
Two months ago there was an out
burst simultaneously at several wells
in the field, and showers of rock and
sand were hurled to the clouds and
scattered over radius Of a mile, but
in none of them was such crater
formed or such wall of earth heav-
ed upward.
The throwing out of the solid mass
is explained by oil having soaked the
earth for many feet on each side of
the we'll and formed it into doughty
mass. This vast plug was hurled up
ward as cork might be forced from
a Jug. Sand and stones underneath
the mass were also showered. The
force. was expended in few moments
and then only gas, flames and smoke
rolled upward.
Warming was amply given by the
earth first swelling upward and the
derrick rocking as though ready to
fall. The explosion followed the con-
vulsion with the suddenness of cam
non discharge The report was dull
heavy one, and heard for miles.
Humble residents were aroused and
FASTENED to the scene. Hundreds Wis
tied it yesterday afternoon. Attempts
to fish for the machinery in the muck
that fills the crater We're not productive
,of success. There are little hopes of
recovering it. The outfit was new
one and one of the finest in the field.
The disturbance has spread terror
to other operators and even more ser
ious outbursts are feared. In fact,
there are some who anticipate the up
heaval of the entire field. The field
proper is now bulged rotundular above
the surrounding country. 1t resem-
bles a vast blister on the earth. 1t has
about twenty wells and produces loo,-
900 barrels daily.
