MANILA, Feb. 15.-Great in
terest was aroused in official cir
Giles today by the report that sew
eral thousand Japanese rifles had
been landed on the Tayabas coast.
1t is feared by some that Japan is
planning to install an armed force
in the Philippines such as it is be-
lieved to have now in Hawaii.
The cruiser Chattanooga was
dispatched to Lamon bay to search
for the ship in which the. rifles
were brought here.
1t is believed by many that
the rifles were deliberately
brought in by Japanese traders
and turned over to the natives, in
order to encourage them to rebel
the Americans. The au-
thorities have been having great
trouble recently with the SNUG
glers, and the Japanese seagoing
have been among the
most serious offenders.
That Japan has always had her
eye on the Philippine islands ev-
eryone here knows. The state
ment that Japan could take Ma
Mia in short order has been made
and only this winter
has resulted in the government at
making provision for
extensive coast Notifications.
Whether the landing of the
rifles was part of general plot,
or the work of daring smugglers
who wish to disorganize the con-
stabulary as much as possible and
keep them busy with internal mat
ters, the situation is almost equal
ly serious. If they can keep the
native tribes in revolt, they evil
IDENTIFY think their operations can
be carried on more successfully.
Tayabas is the province which
borders on the east coast of Luzon
island.

HE s the grandest specimen
of physical manhood of his inches
in the world" declared Farmer"
Burns, the man who picked up
Frank Gotch, a green Iowa gran
ger, and transformed him into
the greatest cateh-as-catch-can
wrestler living.
Burns was looking at Johnny
Billeter, a little Swiss wrestling
marvel. who is unquestionably the
best man at his weight-the light
weight Hmit--in the United States
today, and the individual upon
whose head the lightweight crown
should rest. In fact, 1t does rest
there. in the opinion of the critics,
although technically, Eugene
Tremblay. the Canadian, holds the
title.
I don't believe there is wrest-
Ter in the world who can defeat
Billeter at 1873 pounds. Isll go
farther than this. l don't believe
there is a man living Billeter can't
concede five pounds to and beat to
a standstill.
Billeter is the wrestling marvel
of the little men, as Gotch is the
wonder of the heavies. He won
