GEN. MILES SAYS mo WAR"
Is Likely to Occur Between Japan and
the United States.

That Japan could easily take posses
sion of the Pacific islands under exist
ing conditions is the opinion of Major
General Nelson A. Miles, United States
Army, retired. Discussing Count Won
Reventlow's article, given to the
United Press, General Miles declared
he believed there would be no war
with Japan.
"But,' he added, ''you never can
tell. There is no earthly reason why
Japan should go to war with America
However, if ever they should clash
the Pacific islands would quickly sue
cumb to the attack
In three or four weeks the United
States could put 100000 men, prop
erly equipped and well -officered, in the
field. This is sufficient argument that
Japanese aggression beyond the islands
would not be elective

GREAT FEAT IN SURGERY.
Rare Operation on Woman's Brain
Successfully Performed at
SnOkana-

One of the most rare and difficult
operations in medical annals, the re-
moval of tumor from the pituitary
gland at the base of the brain, was
performed at Spokane recently.
The operation, which was successful,
will relieve a condition of almost total
blindness and bodily Disagreement,
caused by the tumor, growth of five
years.
The operation, which was performed
by DR.. d. La Bau, was witnessed by
nearly score of physicians and 40
nurses.
The patient was Miss Maude Rupp,
formerly of Evanston, Wyo., but for
some time a resident of Spokane. Five
years ago the tumor started at the
base of the brain. 1t caused an en-
largement of her extremities which
amounted to deformity and pressing
on the optic nerve destroyed the sight
of one eye entirely and impaired the
use of the other.
Diagnosed as Tumor.
The disease was finally diagnosed
as tumor and an operation decided
upon. 1t was the first time the opera
ton had been performed west of Chi
cago and not more than Is operations
of the kind are known to medical
science.
The Halstead operation, which takes
its name from the Chicago surgeon
who first performed it, was used. This
involved an incision at the lips, the
laying back of the entire face, and
drilling from the front to reach the
tumor at the rear of the skull.
1t was impossible to administer
anesthesia in the usual way so the
windpipe was cut and nitrogen dioxide
and oxygen, extremely rare anes-
thetics for so serious an operation, were
used. The operation consumed two
hours. Physicians say it was success
full in every detail.

Absolute readiness for war, such as

end OF MEXICAN War
is LOOKED FOR this WEEK BY
MANY DIPLOMATS AT OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Everything Is Working Toward That
Result-Diaz Promises Reorsaniza-
ton of His Cabinet-Our Troops Now
in Texas Will Be Returned to Their
Posts-Insurgents Demand Reforms.

Washington, March sO.-Peace is as
week, if certain influences now at work
toward that end prove effective. With
the arrival in Mexico City of Senior
Jose Yves Limantour, minister of fin
ance, President Diaz will begin confer
ences which it is expected will result
in the announcement within three or
four days of reorganization of the
cabinet
Minister Limantour will present an
explanation of the demands of revolu-
tionists and the changes in the official
family of President Diaz, as well as
the institution of reforms, are expected
to appease the insurrectos.
Frontier Guard May Retire.
In the meantime President Taft will
confer with Ambassador de la Barra,
and there is good ground for the as
sumption that the troops now concen-
trated in Texas Immediately will begin
a series Of maneuvers and will return
shortly to their posts. In addition,
when conditions are normal in Mexico
a complete statement of the considera-
tions that actuated the mobilization of
the troops will be issued.
The coming peace in Mexico is
strengthened by the manner in which
the revolutionists have commented on
the magazine article of Ambassador de
La Barra and the significant aspect of
expectancy with which the results of
Senior Limant0ur S conferences in Mex
leo City this week are awaited by or
CARNATIONS of insurgent sentiment.
Not a single adverse comment was re-
corded in Mexican newspaper to the
proposal of the Mexican ambassador
that all classes in Mexico unite for the
promotion of national unity.
Insurgent Demand Reforms
The insurgents have taken the stand
that their operations have proven they
are willing to risk a great deal to Sc
cure the adoption of certain reforms in
the government and, failing in this,
they will continue the strife. Besides
the proposals which Senior Limantour is
known TO be bearing to President Diaz
it is reported the wishes of leading in
surgent sympathizers in various parts of
the republic have become known to
President Diaz and will play no small
part in the reorganization of his cab
met.
Promises of Early Changes.
The disaffection in Mexico, though
most conspicuous in chihuahua, has not
been confined to that state, and serious
outbreaks in other states have been pre-
vented by the promises of early changes
in administration.
A peculiar relationship of members
of the cabinet to the internal admins
tration of the states has contributed to
the political situation in Mexico City,
and various combinations and states
have been made up and privately sub
mitted.
