HAVANA, July 26.-The Cuban cleo

is found that the census, which must
be completed before the elections, can
hardly be finished until late in the fall.
The elections in consequence cannot
be held until January or February.
The situation, so far as the elections
are concerned. is disappointing to

FATE OF KOREA
LESSON TO
CHINA
Hayashi Hints That Some
Strong Nation Might lmi-
tate Events in Seoul.

SEOUL, July 26.-Viscount Hayashi,
the Japanese Minister Of Foreign At
fairs, in an interview says that the
new agreement contained Japan's whole
program in Korea. His mission ae-
complished, he said he would return to
Japan on the first ship from Chemulpo;
that matters now deyolve upon Mar
quis Ito. who was more than a premier,
and whose responsibilities had more
than doubled. adding that Japan's re-
s-ponsibilities in Korea were now enor-
nous. Continuing, Count Hayashi
said:
"The provisions of the new agreement
were not anticipated in the protestor-
ate agreement Of 1906 and completed
our obligations with the accompanying
responsibility to protect. The Hague
Korean deputation was inherently I'M
important, only showing the urgent
necessity of a close control of the
throne. The cabinet is expected to
continue the work of publication of
the court. In the matter of separating
the Emperor and ex-Emperor the cabi-
net is solely concerned.
I'm regard to the feeling in Japan
about the new convention. the people
are undoubtedly sufficiently critical, but
the agreement ought to satisfy all rea-
sonable Japanese. as 1t ends a long, i'm
possible situation. The former EN-
peror was a spoiled despot, always in
tent upon the selfish exploitation of his
nation. The power of the Emperor and
the throne has been dismissed. 1t is
now possible to regulate all of the
former Emperors and the Emperors'
acts"
The most important thing to be ac-
complished in Korea is judicial reform,
providing for a separation of judicial,
magisterial and administrative affairs,
which is an urgent necessity. Other
matters perhaps, are of less import
ance, such as taking control of the
Korean army and administering of
finances and the affairs of the imperial
household.
Touching upon the American ques-
ton. Viscount Hayashi said:
1T is a fact that the Japanese peo-
pie have forgotten the American ques-
ton in the Korean crisis, which has
shown the little Importance attached
by the public to the former. The lead
ers in the agitation in Japan are men
who have gone astray in their judg-
ments of public questions.
"If the fate of Korea may be re-
garded by China as a lesson, 1t should
be a warning to that country to put
her house in order ere some strong
nation, whichever one might be moved
so to do. initiate events in Seoul, where
the ex-Emperor has taken TO heart
the humiliation he has suffered. China's
despotism, which is the worst form OF
government, must yet reach a Crisis,
as when the present ruling mind mas
gone, the State will fall a prey to m
trigues.'
