.ULT|MATUM FROM JAPAN
China Must Surrender Captured Boat
or Fight Without Further Delay.
Japan Is Ready to Act.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
5 Toxic, Japan, March 1.-THE mikado
today sent a demand to Pekin for the
Immediate surrender of the Tatsu
Maru, the vessel seized by China for
smuggling arms to rebels. The de-
mand calls for ample apology, full in
demnity, and it is made plain that
Japan will not tolerate further de
lays nor counter propositions. If the
demand is ignored China is warned
that Japan will take action at once.
The message from the mikado
amounts to an ultimatum of war IN
less China accedes. The message fol-
lowed a cabinet meeting, and is there
fore accepted as the deliberate result
of the consideration of the entire gov
eminent. Unless China yields there
seems to be no alternative but war
between the countries.

A GENUINE PROPOSITION
Judge Maple of Dallas, Counsel of the
Union Central Railroad, Makes
a Statement Today.

The article printed in Fridays Her
aid anent the Irondale townsite prop
osition has had the effect of getting
some information that could in no way
be had before A Herald man met in
this city today Judge W. Sherman
Maple, whose card bears the address
of Dallas, Texas, upon it, and the in
formation that he is general counsel
of the Union Central Railroad COM
pany.
The judge deplored the fact of the
publication, as he stated the plans
were not just ripe for general exploit
tation at this end, but stated that it
was excusable under the circum-
stances. He says he is here now to
meet the executive committee of Pal
estine's Board of Trade, and that he
has a proposition to lay before them
for the beginning of the construction
of the Union Central road, and that if
the city will comply with what will
be requested of it actual work will
begin here on the road within ninety
days, and that the road will be in op-
Grafton in less than eighteen months,
with connections from Palestine to
Dallas.
The judge also said the railroad
company was not part of the Union
Construction company, but that the
construction company had good peo-
pie back of it, who were fully capable
of carrying out every promise made,
and that the town of Irondale will be
built and the lots distributed just as
promised.
In this connection two letters are
herewith reproduced, one from Mr..
Caldwell Green of this city, and let
ter from Dallas bank to Mr.. Green.
The letter states what Judge Maple
told the writer, that in order to ac-
complish certain things secrecy was
required, but that active work was
about to commence, when everything
will be made plain to this people.
The Herald man suggested s.i;c
was case where they had to- make
good or get in very serious trouble,
to which the judge replied:
yes, sir; am fully aware of that,
and also of the fact that the people
backing these enterprises are too SEN
sible to get into hole they cannot
crawl out of, and for that reason l
know they are going to make good"
AS to reported Misrepresentation
as to the products of the country,
building of shops, actual construction
of the road under way, ETC., the judge
said the company had never author
lied such Misrepresentation, and that
their agents had been instructed to
keep to the actual facts, giving only
such information as their literature
contained.
Judge Maple said he could say this
of Mr.. Hogue, who is one of the pro
moters of the construction company,
and that is that he always makes
good with anything he undertakes.
Here are the letters Mr.. Green re.
quests published:

from citizens of Palestine and Ander.

the proposed town of Irondale,
would like to make the following state
ment through your paper.
Having heard something of the
proposition from rumors on our
| streets and from one or two letters of
inquiry from people in Indiana during
the latter part of December, wrote
to Mr.. Hogue of Dallas, who was pur-
ported to be officially connected with
| it, asking him for information. He re.
piled that he would be in Palestine
soon and would tell me about it. On
the 4th of January, he and Judge
Maple, the general counsel of the pro-
posed Union Central Railroad" came
here, and by special invitation Mr..
Lee bergman and myself accompa-
MED them on a drive to Montalba
During this drive Mr.. Hogue stated to
us that they were going to build this
railroad from Dallas to New Orleans,
and that they were going to locate a
town to be called Irondale in Ander-
son county, and when we reached
Montalba he made the remark that
this place is the place he wanted for
the town and asked Mr.. Bergman and
myself if the land could be bought,
and at what price; and he Immediate
ly asked me, as | was in the land bust
