Jape Prepare for War.

A Washington correspondent says:
The fact can no longer be concealed
that the administration has been re-
ceiving advices from Toxic of the
most disqueting character Silly as
seems the talk Of war, ii nevertheless
is true that foreign nations emphatic
ally believe ii will come. Indeed, official
information has reached the embassies
in Washington that two great powers
recently instructed their representa-
tives at Toxic to report upon Japan's
attitude, especially concerning the
preparations she is making. They
agreed that Japan is getting ready for
conflict with the United States.
"Other diplomats insist the whole
world can only look upon the dispatch
of the feet as a warning to Japan to
cease its nagging policy or to fight.
You have said to Japan observed
one of these men, you are a spoiled
child We have the switch ready and
will use it unless you stop acting in
such an irritating way.

A New Naval Base.

President Roosevelt will supplement
the new policy of battleship concen
tration in the Pacific with a deter.
mined effort to induce congress to
build an immense naval base at Dion
gapo, Subig bay, in the Philippines.
No question exists in the minds of
thoughtful naval officers but that with
in year the Philippines will be the
base Of an increased Pacific fleet, for
all purposes except those of large
repairs
All Japanese working on the forti-
fications and around the Olongapo and
Cavite naval stations have been dis
charged, including the experts who
have been in the service for several
years. Ii Is asserted by the officers
stationed there that the orders for this
action came direct from Washington
and are peremptory. Rear-Admiral
Hemphill and other navy officers de-
MED that any extraordinary prepare
lions are under way, but men who
have watched the situation, including
those in high official life, believe that
Gen. Wood and Admiral Hemphill are
carrying out plans to put the defenses
of Manila and the two naval stations
on war basis"

To Buy of Mexico.

1t is said that as a part OF the gen.
eral policy OF strengthening the mill
tary forces of the United States on
the Pacific coast the state department
is negotiating for the purchase from
Mexico of Magdelena bay or all of
lower California If necessary in order
to acquire this fine body of water.
1t is said that the negotiations in this
highly important transaction are in
the hands of Secretary Root. For
several weeks past ii is reported he
has been sounding the Mexican auth
critics on the proposed purchase. Sec
rotary Root will visit Mexico in Sep
TENDER and when he confers with
President Diaz 1t is expected that the
terms of the sale will be agreed on
Ii is impossible to ascertain at this
time any particulars. The possession
of Magdelena bay is looked upon as
military necessity. 1t is even more
essential since the government has
decided to send the battleship fleet
to the Pacific.
