Mikado's Southern Squadron of War ships Moving Against Her Ob- stinate Neighbor-China Is
 Not Prepared.

Tollio, March 7.-Cablegrams 1e- ceived here Friday morning state that the viceroy of Canton has resigned over the steamship Tatsu incident. This is taken to indicate that the dis pute between China and Japan has reached critical stage. China is willing to release the steamer and re- tain possession of the munitions of war which were seized but Japan wants all or nothing, and has so stat ed. The viceroy of Kwangtugn re- fuses to give up the ship or anything else notwithstanding instructions from Pekin.
 It is said that witnesses have been found to sustain the contention of Chinese officials that the arms seized with the Tatsu were part of filibus- tering movement, and that the rifles were intended for rebels.
 Under no circumstances. it is stated, will China stand for interference in her domains by Japan. The encroach- ments of Japan have stirred the gov ernment to the depths, and the fact that a movement was in progress to arm rebels whether it began with pri- vate parties or not, will not be over looked
