EXCITEMENT IN
 ISLE OF JAPAN
JlNGOES ARE TRYING TO STIR UP STRIFE, AND SAY THAT JAPAN ESE MUST NOT TOLERATE AT TITUDE OF SUPERIORITY.

Victoria, July 13.-Oficers of the steam CT Tarta, which arrived today from Japan, reported that much excitement prevailed when the steamer left Yokohama in con- sequence of the situation that had arisen regarding the United States. Many reports were published in the Japanese press, many of them extremely jingoistic.
 Count Itagaki, formerly home minister and a prominent Japanese statesman, in an interview published at Tolio, said:
 ''Warships should be mustered in ToiIio bay and Japan should confront America in solving this question by presenting an attitude to meet Americans in fire forth- with If they reject the just and legitimate demands of Japanese"
 Count Okuma, with whom Count Ita- gaki formed a coalition given years ago, advocated stern measures In an interview published by the Jiji Shimpo. He says Japan has become a power and her rela- tions with America should be on a foot ing befitting her new position and the tendency to treat Japan an inferior people must not be tolerated. a

BANK STATEMENT
 IS FAVORABLE
EXHIBIT OF CASH LOSSES DUE TO WITHDRAWAL BY BANKS IN ORDER TO MAKE SHOWING IN REPORTS.

New York July 13.--The Financier says: New York associated banks was as un- expectedly favorable as that of the pre- vous wek was surprisingly unfavorable, in only so far as concerned the cash avail able, but the result was indicated in the surplus reserve. The statement of last week showed a gain of four million cash; whereas a loss of S6,0O0,00O appeared to be foreshadowed by the traceable move ments of money. The previous week S bank returns showed a loss of five mill lions cash, though the traceable changes
 in this item led to expectations of a gain of six and d half millions.
 It semes probable that in the week of July the surprising exhibit of cash loss was due to withdrawals there of banks by some of the trust companies in order to make a god showing in their semi annual reports to the state bankers as- suming that this was the case last week s gain of cash may have been the result of the return of the banks of the money so withdrawn, it having served the pur- pose intended in the previous fortnight. Because of the above noted gain of cash and the reduction in deposits and in re- serve requirements the surplus reserve showed an important gain instead of q loss as was expected.
 The cash increased last week %,075, TOO; part of this increase probably came from the above mentioned return of cash to banks by trust companies and some portion was traced to a movement of ffta i,,fn balances had been withdrawn upon by the surrender of their public deposits through their New York correspondents, thus requiring the reinforcement of such balances. General deposits were $7,S60 400, and the required reserve was conse- quently reduced $1 1,9451O0, adding which to the gain In cash made S6,020,S00 as the increase in surplus reserve to S6,S77, 050, compared upon the basis of deposits less those of $29, ,23S, 400 public. funds-which it may be observed were feduced $1,513S00 during the woke; the surplus is $l4,1S66 650. Loans were contracted $10.SSS, 400 during the weke This was doubtless due to the cancellation of loans in the previous week after July disbursements of in- terest had been effected and due to dull ness last week of the stock exchange, which tended to limit trading. Daily aver age of bank clearing was S290, GOO GOO, S35i,- 100000 in the week of July 6, clearings on Saturday rehecting Fridays business were s235. .460 900.

REPLY TO CRITICS
 ON WARSHIPS
ADMIRAL 6RoWNsoN EXPLAINS CONSTRUCTION OF NEW TYPE OF EMPHASIZES AND GIVES REASONS FOR DEFECTS.

Washington, July 13.-Regarding a publication which have been to some extent reproduced In the daily press. criticising adversely the battleships of the navy, Rear Admiral Willard H. Brownson, acting secretary of the navy, today said in substance:
 That there were defects in the Ore gon class and the Kentucky and Rear sarge is well known; in fact these defects were discovered before the com pletion of those ships, but the wonder Is that there are so few defects con- sidering that they were the first heavy battleships built in this country. Com- pared to battleships of other nations, designed and built at the same time. the Oregon class was conspicuously su- perior in fact that class was referred to by the leading British technical papers at the time, as the peerless battleship and the interior arrangement and other points were of special ex- cellence. It is true that their armor was badly placed, but that arose from the addition to the shops of d great amount of material. stores and ma ch1nery not Included In the original design. It Is also true that they lack balanced turrets; but when they were built there was no such turret in t1le navy. Their eight-inch ammunition tubes also were not sufficiently pro- tected. As to the criticism directed at the large size of tie ports in the lturrets, this has been corrected in late designs by bringing the trunnons of the guns nearer to the front of the turrets, so that battleships of later design are free from this defect. As the gun platform, which Is the masn purpose of the ship, the Oregon class has no superior and even at this late day, they would give good account of themselves in action"

AMERICAN IDEAS
 RULE AT HAGUE Much Good is Expected of the
 Present Conference PERMANENCY IS PLANNED Members of American Delegation Will Urge Holding of Periodic Meet
 inss and Following of
 Stated Programme.
PERMANENCY IS PLANNED

The Hague, July 1S.-Notwithstandin the pessimistic views held in some ouar- ters concerning the peace conference and its work, the members of the American delegation feel confident that some good will be the result. It now appears that all of the American propositions will be satisfactorily received. The question of the immunity of private property at sea- although bitterly opposed, will have 0 considerable majority in the vote next week, and this will be further step to- ward the adoption of this principle in an- other conference. The rules regarding the bombatdment of unfortiled towns, viI- lages. etc. originally presented by Amer lea, will be substantially adopted with the approval of the proposition.
 Finally, in a sitting, the United States will present a plan for the permanency of the conference itself as an institution, the holding of periodic meetings and the organization of programme
 It was officially stated today thatsJoseph II. Choate, speaking to the Korean del- egates at The Hague yesterday, merely said that America always felt good will towards Koreans, but he manifested no opinion about the present condition of that country, and only expressed the be- lief that no action can be taken here, add ing that if the Koreans desire to make representations to the United States, they must address themselves to the govern ment at Washington.
 The American proposition relating 10 ships of war read:
 A warship must be commanded by d commissioned officer, with crew subject to military law and discipline. In time of war no merchantmen can be transferred into warship, except 1t be commanded and equipped as before said and the trans formation can only occur in the territorial waters of the state of which the owner of the vessel Is a subject or on the terri torial waters under effective military con trol of such state.
 Another American proposition states, first, that arms of war, ammunition, pro- visions and obpects only employed for mill itary purposes or military establishments form absolute contraband of war; sec ond. that conditional contraband consists of provisions and objects employed both In peace and war and which, because of their character special quality or quantity are convenient and necessary for military purposes, and are destined to the armed forces or to the military establishments of the enemy; third, that list of the objects and provisions to be included in either of said categories must be pub lished by the belligerents and notification of such must be made to neutral coun- tries The confiscation of contraband, the proposition states, cannot occur until such notification has been made
