Alleged Japanese Spy.

San Diego, Cal, July 12.-Much ap.
prehension is felt here from the fear that
the japanese spy arrested at Fort Rose
Grams while sketchiDg the notifications,
was only one Of many spies engaged in a
systematic effort to obtain careful plans
Of all the slrongholds on the Pacific
slope.
The feeling is such that all Japanese
are beginning TO be looked upon with
suspicion, and the suggestion that other
spies may be in this city has led to such
conditions that a clash with serions re.
suits is feared.
The japanese caught is being held
prisoner until Instructions are received
from the War Department. He was
sIetching the tmplacements Of four ten-
inch guns when he was seen by private
soldier. When captured it was found
that be hid many plans and photographs
of tie Notifications. The impression
prevails that he had the active co-ope.
ration of Japanese employed about the
fort. Major Catchell, who is in COM
maud, refuses all information and will
not even tell the prisoners name.

rboUogue Conference.

The Hague, July 12--The opening
of hostilities may Immediately follow a
declaration OF war by one nation against
another, in accordance with decision
reached by The Hague international
Peace Conference today, The Dutch
publication requiring an interval of "A
hours between such a declaration and
the opening of hostiities WAS voted down
in a meeting of the committee to which
it was referred.
1t is probable the prevailing rules OF
war will be changed. hOSever, to require
a declaration of war when boslilities are
opened. An ultimatum cannot be con-
sidere1 as a declaration OF war in such
instances,
Japan created something of sensation
in the conference today when NJ. Tsud-
znki, her leading delegate, came out en-
phsticslly in favor of the French prop
ositiOn to require declaration before
hostilites can commence. Ia her recent
clash with Russia, Japan began hostil-
tiles by blowing up Russian warship
without a formal declaration of war.
Jspan's sudden switch, therefore, was
regarded as significant.
The proposition to require "a hour
interval was defeated by vote of 16 to
IA. Five blank ballots we're cast.

Still After RYAN

New York, July 12.-Thomss F.
Ryan's legal department, already burden
ed with the federal attack upon his
tobacco trust, received an extra load to-
day in the form of a suit by Attorney
Jackson.
Justice Platzek, of the Supreme Court,
signed an order directing the traction
combination to show cause on July 10
why action should not be Instituted to
annul its charter on the ground that the
corporation is an illegal monopoly. At
torney General Jackson feels confident
that his action will be successful in view
of the recent decision of Judge Holt
that the big traction combination was an
illegal monopoly.
Jackson points out that by the COM
bination of the elevated, surface aud sub
way lines, competing lines were placed
under the same control and alleges that
Ryan and Belmont entered into an
"unlswtul combination and conspiracy"
intending unlswfully to prevent COM

Washington, July II.
II is evident from the passionate state
meat of Prince Tjyong oui III, given out
today at The Hague, that the campaign
Of the Young Peoples Party in Korea
for the restoration of the complete indie
pendence of that kingdom and its relief
from japanese control, has broken ont
alresh, and tina. an attempt will be
made to transfer the storm center to the
United States.
But this governments hands are tied.
The President may have his own ideas
about the Japanese intentions, but he has
accented Japan's "sphere of Influence
rs ratified in the Portsmouth treaty be-
tween japan and Russia. The second
article of that treaty reads:
"The imperial government of Russia,
recognizing that japan has predominant
political, military and economic interests
in Korea, agrees not to interfere or place
obstacles 10 the way OF any measure of
direction, protection and supervision
which the imperial government of japan
may deem proper to adopt"

ONLY ALOCAL SOUALL.

Viscount Aoki, the japanese ambassa-
Dor, who was in New York yesterday
to attend reception in honor of Ad-
miral Yamamoto, issued, through his
secretary, a reassertion of his previous
declaration that there is no Japanese
American situation" and that all talk
Of trouble between the two nations is a
phantom creation ofirresponsible trouble
makers and trouble-hunters. u there
by any cause for anxiety, he said, it is
due to the influence of unwarranted
press talk 'that often tends t. drive
even the calmest temper of the public
into a whirl of tempestuOus rage"
The expressions of peace and good
will between Japan and the United
States, which have so far characterized
the visit of Admiral Baron YamsmotO,
former minister of war Of Japan, we're

Coghlsn, Ambassador Aoki and Thomas
J. O'Brieu, the newly appointed am
bssssdor to Japan, heartily Endorsed the

Ysmsmoto says present conditions are

way Indicate lhs true ,tate OF the

diets clear skies. He says We are close
neighbors. "Commercisl and other in

are so intimately intergoven and the
cordial relations of 30 firm a nature"
declares Ysmamoto, shat they will
never be destroyed by mere trihiDg Incl

leaders in the civilization of the world.
A dispatch from Seonal says that the
msssing Of the American feet in the
Pacific, about which the American pap
ers have applied to Marquis Ito for an
opinion, was semi-oflicially discussed by
Ito's administration organ yesterday,
The paper says:

ships in the Pacific, especially in view OF

startling demonstration OF American de-
fensive capacity. 1t is difficult for US TO
accept the assurance that the coming |
maneuyers do not possess any connection
whatever with tue Japanese American
situation. We regret thsL Washington
thinks il necessary to take what re-
sembles precautionary measure.
However, we are not disposed to at
tach serious importance to this matter
and have no inclination to doubt the
Presidents sincerity in assuring us OF
The peaceful nature Of the proposed naval
maneuvers. Neither have we the slight
est doubt of the pacific and friendly SEN
timents of the American government.
The people toward whom Japan's blame
is probably due are the irresponsible sec
tions Of both nations"
Ito declines discussion regarding the
sensational agitation of the press. His
sole comment on the probability of war
is: "There ia no feeling in my heart for

FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 70 1857.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is credited
with having under consideration a new
plan for attaining federal control over
railroads. He is said to be contemplat'
ing recommendation to Congress for
such legislation as will enable the gov
eminent to become stakeholder in some
Of the large railroads, with the view to
having representative placed On each
board of directors. By this process the
government would become thoroughly
informed IS to the inside facts OF every
railroad and be in position to force such
reforms as it might desire to make.
Nothing Is known except that the propo-
sition has been laid before the President
and that he is giving it careful considera-
ton. 1t has been reported to him as
step in the direction of accomplishing
reforms in the railroad business that
could not be secured in any other way.
The most serious objection to it is that
it is really the frat step toward govern
meut ownership, and that it was the
step taken by Germany before that cOun-
try went into naturalization of railroad
properties. After having gotten this
sor. of a foolhOld in the railroads, Ger
many went a step fur her, bought a
trunk line, reduced rates and clubbed all
the other roads into submitting, the ul-
innate result being government owner
