CONCERN IN
WASHINGTON
Japanese Yards and Arsenals
Are Said to Be Working
to the Limit.

a special to the Globe from Wash
instOn says:
While excessive alarm is not felt
in official circles here over the Jan
aneSe situation, deep concern never
theless exists among state department
officials. and in administration circles
generally. because of the delicate ma
ture of the differences between the
two countries. The announcement
made to-day that Secretary Taft. on
his coming visit TO the Philippines.
Will take time to go 10 JaDan, is re-
garded with considerable Significance.
When congress put the passport pro-
vision into the immigration measure
and the San Francisco school segrc-
CATION problem was adjusted ii was
believed serious friction WAS ut an
end. The exact reverse has proven
the case, and there is no DENYING tina.
It Is giving much uneaSinesS here
What naval and military men are
talking most about is the endless war
preparations made by Japan. They
do not like to think il is done with
America in mind. a high naval officer
declares that the navy yards and arse
nails in Japan are working night and
day
The official tone is Invariably that
the good sense Of the dominant ele-
ment at Toxic will prevail, and that
all will be adjusted satisfactory, but
there is reason TO believe that Off
cials who talk this way do not do so
with entire confidence What is fear
ed here is that the jingOes of Japan,

Italy and France, escaped even the
terrible scourge of the sword of Ma
poleon, who spared it and its ancient
independence. 1t has a position On
land which closely resembles that of
the great fortress of Gibraltar on
the high seas. Its single mountain
is extremely difficult for soldiers TO
attack and the single town of San
Marine is situated almost on the very
top of its mountain of Monte TitanO.
1t has but one gate, the POrta San
Francisco, which is so narrow that
no carriage could be driven through
it.

the interior gets s400 year salary,
and the secretary of state. who han
dies the republics affairs with for
eign governments also gets $500 per
annum as his recompenSe. The state
treasurer gets $500 a year. One Gu
riOus official is a state doctor. who
must attend to any citizen of the lit
tie republic, and gets $500 a year as
his reward. If he refuses to attend
any sick citizen at any time of the
day or night whea he has been called
on he is liable = a heavy fine. The

education gets $50 year and a

The httlest real country in the world
and, perhaps, the most interesting
and instructive in Europe, from a his
tOrical standpoint, is the tiny repub-
lie of San Marine. San Marino has a
domain of IA square miles, has about
II 900 Inhabitants, and has been an
independent state for 16 centuries, or
longer than any of the present cOun-
tries in Europe. 1t is, in fact, AI.suor-
ically a survival, and the only sur
vival of the great Roman republic.
1t consists of the territory included
in Monte TitaEO, which rises up in
solitary and most unusual grandeur
from the Italian plains.
It is no sanctuary for brigands, nor
is it kept independent like Monte Car

bling The citizens are all equal be-
fore the law and so law-abiding that
its JAIL which used to be the one
fortress of the nation the Rocca For
tress-is more often empty than oc-
cupied. 1t is perched on a superb
cliff neal the top of the republic, for
being a single mountain this curious
state runs up and down instead of
across the earth. From the top of
the Rocca Fortress can be seen the
blue waters of the Adriatic Sea, and
on the soil of San Marino you at once
drift back through the centuries and
seem to be transported into the mid
die ages. about the time when good
Queen Elizabeth ruled over Merrie
England and the United States was an
event still in the womb of history.
Until the past year the land was
ruled by a council of so. which was
elected for life. just like the ancient
Roman senate in the time of Julius
Caesar. There were two consuIs or
captains-regent, who were elected for
six months service, one of whom
must be a peasant and the other a
nobleman. The Arengo was the an
Client general assembly at which the
heads of all families in this tiny state
were gathered and selected the coun-
Gil Of so. Within the past year ii has
been arranged by the Arengo, which
then met for the first time in 800
years. that 20 of the, members of the
council of 60 should retire from office
every three years in place of hold
ing this post for life 1t all reads
like the doges rule of Venice when
that city was queen of the Adriatic
and disputed the powers of the ocean

News received here today is disquieting
in the extreme to the officials who had
been hoping that the trouble between

lied and the war terminated by arbitra-
ton. /. is now stated that there is every
Indication that Salvador, Guatemala and
Costa Rica will join forces with Hon
duras, making q combination Of all of the
other Central American republics against
the single state of Nicaragua. This state
of affairs has been brought about it is
said, through a conviction on the part
of the governing elements in Salvador,

qua has been the real aggressor in the
boundary dispute with Honduras, and
that IL President Zelaya is allowed to
prevail over President Bonilla. he could
not resist the temptation to oVerrun the
other republics and make himself mas
ter of Central America.
