came Japan's great fighters such as Admiral
Togo, Gems. Oyama, kuroki, Nodzu, &c.
He was interviewed by a reporter yester-
day at his hotel. The Hon. Haseba IL a
short but stout man. with a broad face:
He WAS sitting on an easy chair s~urrounded
by several Of his countrymen when the
reporter was introduced To him for the

the head Of a force. In one Of the battles
he was shot by a bullet IN his thigh and
was unable to walk. Two Of Eis men came
to the rescue. they tied his arrnS and legs
with a rope, and passing q polo between
the arms and the legs, bore hin for twenty
six miles, one man bearing one Cnd Of the
pole on his shoulders, and another another.
Haseba had never complained while thus
he was being carried like "A dead game.
This shows what "A IA ring MAJ L.. This
story would remind one of the stories Of
ancient Spartars. Indeed, the SatSumans
are moro or less like the Spartans Of old.

a few days. and after mis- visit to Washing
ton will return to japan directly.
