CAUSE OF THE WAR
JAPANESE AND RUSSIAN PRO
posALs PRECEDING HosTILITIEs.
Tokyo's Demand for Recognition Of
Paramount Influence in Korea.
Cars Claim to Manchuria.



1t on July 20. 1909, that Japan made
her first proposal to Russia for joint
diplomatic consideration of the relations
of the two empires toward Korea and
China. In that first note Japan called
attention to Russia's continued occupation
of Manchuria and of her progress toward
the Korean frontier, and then made this
statement. which has been called the Jap
anese Monroe doctrine:
Japan possesses paramount political as
well as commercial and industrial interests
and influence in Korea. which, having
regard for her own security, she cannot
consent to surrender to- or share with, any
other power
Within two weeks Russia gave her assent
to enter into negotia tons, and then Japan
presented her formal proposal. At once
there was delay. Nearly three weeks were
used up In discussing the place for holding
the discussions the proposals. Japan
had made her representations at ST. Pc
tersburg Russia deemed Tokyo more APP
propriate place. Japan favored continuing
the negotiations where they had begun.
Russia was immovable and finally the
whole proceedings were adjourned to
Tokyo 1000 miles away.
But before the Russian commissioners
could start for the japanese capital there
was another tedious wait owing to the ina
bility Of the commissioners to have an au-
dience of the car. The reason for this de-
lay was that the empress was indisposed.
When the commissioners arrived at
Tokyo another delay of two months oc-
Cured before Russia submitted her reply.
Most conspicuous in her reply was this
article: Recognition by Japan that Man
churia and it's littoral as in all respects out
side her sphere of interests
Throughout the discussion, which extend
ed to February 5, 1904. Russia insisted that
the Manchurian question was exclusively
question for Russia and China.
Then it was that Japan informed Russia,
through the Japanese minister at st. Peters
burg that because of RuSsia's refusal to
consider the Manchurian question, and be-
cause of unexplained delays and extraordi-
nary naval and military activities on the
part Of Russia, the Japanese government
had no other alternative than to termi-
nate the present futile negotiations.
That was on February 6. 1904. TWO days
later. on February 8, the first shot Of the
war was fired.
Just what Japan demanded and what
Russia was willing to concede or refused
to concede are shown in the following:

their way into the jail and fired several
shots at William and Arthur Spaugh

Just before dawn Sheriff Marshall
was awakened by loud knocking at
the door. and in answer to an inquiry
a voice replied: "a government Off
Ger with prisoner Is here" Upon
opening the door the sheriff was seiz-
ed, bound and gagged and his keys
taken. About twenty men composed
the gang. They made their way to

swEpEs TURN FROM WAR.
War Party Less Aggressive, While
Norwesians Continue Peacable.

Christiana, July 8.-Sweden's war
marty has become less aggressive OF
late. though the war press continues to
snread stories regarding alleged
threatening military movements on the
part Of Norway. These stories. how
ever. receive less credit now that Nor
I way has denied them. The Swedish
war press deplores the fact that the
government subdues the warlike ten
dencies Of the riksdag.
Sweden is warned by the special
committee of the government that the
country is insufficiently prepared to
ware successful war Colonel Bratt,
an esteemed Swedish military author-
sity publishes an article in a Swedish
paper. stating that Sweden is unable
to raise more than $4,000 effective
troops against Norway, while Norway
saws she can raise 10000.
The article has caused much COM
ment In Sweden. Most Of the Swedish
papers think 100000 men can be raised.
but admit this is too few for success.
Despite the notion in the Swedish
riksdag for raising war loan OF
100, 200. 900 kroner ($26,s00,000), the
general impression here is that Swe-
den is tired of war talk and will soon
ask:
..why go to war when the union is
not wanted?"
However 1t will be some time be-
fore the Swedish mind will be clear.
Nosway's business continues undis.

boat Farfadet, which sank Thursday
morning at the entrance to the port OF

alive.
The submarine was being slowly
itowed into shallow water when some
of the cables snapped, the boat re-
manned suspended in perpendicular
position, held by cable from a French
tug. Efforts are being made to fix
graphing irons. An Italian tug has
arrived to aid in the rescue.

MAYOR OF HAVANA SUSPENDED
Governor Acts on Charges Regarding
Conduct Of the Official.

Havana, July s.-General Nunez.
governor of Havana province, has sus-
pended Juan O'Farrill, mayor of Ha-
vana, and will recommend his dismiss
sal. The reason alleged is that the
investigation of the mayor and alder
men, begun over year ago, developed
probable offenses by the mayor along
the line Of unauthorized and improper
expenditures, permitting favored citi-
zens to escape certain forms o. taxa
ton and loose conduct of municipal
affairs. President Palma removed the
mayor during the street railway strike
in 1902 on account of his alleged per-
sistent leniency and because he did not
suppress the disorders but he was re-
instated by the supreme court.
