hills and leveling the valley. They are
putting UP dirt walls about some of the
big buildings, which look almost like
Notifications. They are making drains
and digging foundations. A system OF
waterworks a been put in which sup
plies the military city with pure water
| from the mountains nearby, and wide
streets, crossing one another at right
angles, have been laid out, covering
almost the whole territory. Roughly
speaking. i should say there is room on
the site for several hundred thousand
people, and 1t is believed that all the
ground not devoted to the military es-
Establishment will be taken up with
Japanese buildings.
JAPAN,s NEW BARRACKS.
The new barracks now going up.
many of which are already completed,
show that the Japanese intend to keep
o large military establishment in Korea
for a long time to come. They now have
10000 men in different parts of the pen
insula, and several thousand of these
are here in Seoul. There are q score
or more of great two-story brick struc-
lures already erected, which are now
occupied by the men, and there are SIM
liar buildings for the subordinate head
quarters filed with offices n barracks
, for non-commfssioned officers in every
branch or the service.
1 doubt II Uncle Sam houses his
troops anything like as well as the
mikado does these young Japanese.
The barracks are az substantially built
as any structures in the United States.
They are well designed and we'll light
ed, and every man has the right amount
of air space. They + heated by Rus
sian stoves which r built up In the
| corner Of each room. The soldiers sleep
| on spring beds, they take hot baths
once u day and their food Is carefully
prepared.
During my stay I went through the
| Kitchens OF some of the establishments.
| 1t was about time for dinner, and
great tubs OF steaming rice had Just
been taken from the fire, while fried
nsh and vegetables were being ladled
| out on to plates OF polished aluminium,
In order to make the camp equipment
as light as possible all the dishes used
by the men are of this metal, the rice
for each being served in an aluminium
box OF about the size of that which
holds 100 cigars. Each man gets such
a box of rice at every meal and q fixed
supply of fish, vegetables and sauce,
which Is varied in character from day
to day. The food WAS put UP in such
portions on trays, each of which carried
"a plates and rice boxes. and these
trays We're carried by me- to the DOR
mitories nearby. All of the japanese
soldiers now wear European shoes I
Judge they still find them unoomfort-
able, however, for ! noticed at the en-
trance to each barracks great rows of
these shoes outside in the halls, n
hat the g as they jumped from
their couches and too at attention
as I passed with their colonel, were in
their stocking feet.
The barracks / have referred to are
built around a great parade ground,

showing that he was an insurgent. He
then ordered those within the building
to come out or he would shoot. They
did not reply. and he commanded his
soldiers to fire. Upon going In later
90 were found dead. We still believe
that they were largely insurgents.
They certainly should have answered
when the soldiers ordered them out"
rs not Korea a difficult land to po-'
lice?"8
Eyes. exceedingly so. The country is
covered with mountains. There are
no roads whatever over which troops
can be marched. The only routes from
one place to another are bride paths,
which become streams and rivers when
ever it rains. There are practically
no bridges and the country Is so poor
that it is difficult to provision . the
troops except by carrying food every
where with MS. Another annoyance
to which the men are Subjected Is the
universal presence of Nermin, owing to
the personal ~incleanliness Of the people.
There are lice and bugs of all kinds,
and 1t is almost impossible for the
troops to keep themselves free from
them"
WHERE A SOLDIER SHOULD DIE.
I here asked The general as to the
health of his troops. File replied that
It was excellent and that the troops
had not had the fever, ~dysentery and
smallpox, so common among the Ko-
reans. He said the me were well
cared for. and 7 complimented him on
the healthful arrangements of his new
barracks, saying that Japan was lead
ing the world III matters of military
sanitation, and that the low death rate
from disease among the Japanese
troops in Manchuria had been less than
that Of any great war in the past. The
general acknowledged that this was
true and significantly added:
1--WE Japanese do not believe that a
soldier should die in his bed"
I then preached the subject of Rus
STA, asking the general whether he
thought there would be another war
later on and whether he would build
Notifications along the northern Dor
ders of Korea. He replied that he
would not and that such Notifications
on the frontier would be contrary to
the treaties between the two countries.
AS to another struggle with Russia, he
would not answer, saying that he hoped
there would DO peace between h two
nations from now On. He said Japan.
did not want trouble with any one, but
that IL war came she would have to
do what she could.
1--WE must fight lust whenever our
honor is at stake. There are occasions.
when to live without fighting would
be to suffer more than to die"

Japan's army of the future? The ko-

The general laughed asshe replied:
II should not encourage such a plan,
and it is not in accordance with our
scheme for bringing about the indie
pendence of Korea under Japanese pro-
lection. The Korean soldiers might do
well enough in the rear, n we could
use them for the heavy work of u
military operations, as transports and
laborers. We would not dare put
them at the front"
'How about the charges that your
soldiers are depressing the people and
killing them without cause?n
There is no truth in such state
ments,'' said Gen. Hasegawa- we have
to be severe in our treatment of the
rebels in order to maintain peace and
keep the unruly element in check. War
is n serious matter, and such condi-.
way. Otherwise we could do nothing
with the country. We wipe out the
insurgents when they are found. and
1t may be that when we are misin-
formed as to who are insurgents some
innocent men may be killed. At pres
ent we are using many Koreans In our
police force. and the pro-Japanese no
leans are aiding us to put down tho

SEYMOUR PASSES WAGNER.
Big League Top Line Batters-CoIIins
Crowding Cobb.

The list of leading dozen hitters in
both major leagues has been consid-
erably shaken up the past week as a
result of the work of the batSmen. In
the National circuit. Seymour of the
Giants has hammered his way into
the league lead, having risen IS points
through his heavy stick work of a
week
Wagner Of the Pirates is thus nush-
ed back to second place again. Hof-
man of the Cubs, who has been COM
ing fast in his hitting during the
strenuous fight for pennant honors,
comes back to the list with mark of
an even 300. His team mate, Zim-
norman, drops out of the list, as does
Jordan of Brooklyn, who has been in
the company of the leaders all sea-
son. Beaumont of Boston goes in his
place.
On the American sidde Cobb is still
leading with a very high rating. but
Collins of the Athletics is giving him
run for the place. Three new en-
trants in that circuit are Orth of New
York. Lelivelt of Washington and Bir-
mingham Of Cleveland, Bailey and
Criss of st. Louis and Speaker of Bos-
/ ton are missing from the list in con-
sequence.
In run getting Cobb is now nearing
his hundredth and is showing speed
enough to indicate that he will beat
| out Leach of the Pittsburgs before the
close of the season. The latter has
one run to go to equal the last sea-
sons record of los, made by McIn-
| tyre of Detroit, having already beaten
the 1908 National league record held
by Tenney of New York of 101.
