AT THE HOTELS.

Japan has the same rights under the
international Law as any other country.
said N. Kaguro. of Kobe. Japan. at the
shorehsm, last night Of Japan in the
course Of war takes possession OF q
country and installs a government. and
duly informs the nations Of this accom-
plIshed fact, she Is merely doing what
has been done by other powers again
and again. The only difference between
European powers taking a step Of this
kind and japan doing II is that less com
ment is made on the Occidental govern
ment than on our own.
Japan has as much right TO annex
Korea as Austria had TO annex Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina. japan brought
order out OF chaos in Korea, and is mod
ernizing 1t, opening UP the country 70
civilization and enlightenment. Not only
Korea and Japan will benefit thereby, but
the whole world Instead Of criticism
for this action. the powers should sup
port japan In her laudabie efforts
We are in Manehuria TO stay" con-
tinued Mr. Kaguro. ''and we have a right
to stay. and what's more. we viii not
recede one inch from this contention.
Manehuria is Japan's by the rights OF
war and possession. Japan has invested
millions of her money In Nanchurian
Development and thousands Of her sons
are buried In the soil Of that country,
We are merely playing the same game
England is playing in Egypt. France III
Algiers. and Germany IN her possessions.
II it's fair for them, ii must be fair for
others
If European powers try TO get a foot
hold in China and other countries" added
Mr. Kaguro, Japan has the same PRIV
iege. And China is our next-door neigh
Dor, and it is. therefore. but natural that
we should be more interested than any
other country Take the United states.
for instance. You created the Monroe
doctrine 20 protect your hemisphere from
foreign invasion and aggression. It was
the Monroe doctrine which drove the
French out OF Mexico and prevents for
eign powers acquiring a foothold on the
American continent. That law or dictum
goes even further than that: Il not only
prevents acquisition OF territory on the
part of foreign powers. but II prevents
those who have possessions on the Amsrl-
can continent from transferring them to
another foreign power
is there any reason why Japan and
China should not establish such q doe
trine for their countries? If America IS
for the Americans, why shouldn't japan
and China be for the peoples Of those
countries?
Understand me WE'LL do not say that
the Japanese government entertaIns ideas
OF this sort these are my own personal
views and know many Of my country
men and Cinnamon, TOO. who entertain
the same views. The idea Is growing in
my country. and 1 trust that il viii be
solved without having recourse 10
arms or such measures which would call
forth Intervention on the part u non

Post Havana, Cuba, was seen at the
New Willard last night,
Cuba is prosperous in spite Of her
self. said the Cuban scribe, who is an
American citizen. and has lived many
years IN this country. Crops are plen-
tful, and there has sever been such a
sugar crop as we had this year; ana
prices are good. too. Cuba ought to be
embodied in the United States and made
part and parcel Of It. Cuba is in fact
a continuation of the American CONT

republic, Sooner OF later Cuba may be-
come State Of the Union, and the soon
er this comes TO pass the better for
