RACE HATRED IS STRONG

Special Cable 70 me Washington Herald.
st. Petersburg, June D.-The we'll
known organ Of Russian Official opinion.
Novoya Vremya, prints today two art-
cles Of far-reachfng Importance. especial
ly to the United States
One deals with the recent visit Of Gen.
Soukhomlinorf to the far East and hints
as a result thereof. at the possibility Of
an entente between Russia and Japan.
The second article, appearing over the
signature of a Japanese. officer," pre-
sumes close sympathy between Japan
and Mexico in the latter's present trou-
BILE and forecasts q military alliance with
that country under certain conditions.
The writer says:
Tn such an eventuality we should be
certain to go In for a naval war and be-
gin by seizing the Philippines and Cuba
This would be a Gripping blow to the
Americans as once we are in possession
Of these two points we could claim the
mastery Of the Pacific
Cfties Chief Obstacle.
''our chief dificulty lies in the fact
that the Mexicans have no feet and this
would stand In the way OF an offensive
and defensive treaty between US and the
Mexican government.
''On the other hand. our relations with
the United states are peaceable. but they
are far from normal. A race hatred lies
at the bottom Of all relations between us
and the United states and there is no i'm
mediate prospect Of its dying out.
The exact naval and military strength
Of the United States has yet to be proved.
Perhaps they are very strong; perhaps
weak; in fact, so weak that even the
Mexicans may be able to whip them In
fha Uraaanf c0ndfCf
japanese Are "watchiuE."
Meantime, we japanese are watching
the trend of events, and our diplomacy,
with regard to America, must shortly
take a sweeping change.
should the Americans lose in the con-
fiict with Mexico. their present powerful
position would go with II. Other coun-
tries then will be able to adopt very
different tone with her from which they
feel obliged to adopt now.
"As things are today, the United States
stands in the pillory as to the true sig
nifcance Of its military power and su-
premacy In the Pacific. It will be q sad
day for America when she fails In that
quarter"
Public opinion here Is much exercised
as to the raison, de etre OF these two arti-
cles. The best informed authorities as
sert the visit Of Gen. Soukhomlinof TO
the far East was undertaken TO lay the
base of a Russo-Japanese alliance d.
rected against the United States.

Concerning the German Uhlans, of

"The swarms of cavalry which the Ger

enemy IS established by them, and many
of them are killed-that is a certainty
they face. Now and then, however one
of them manages to escape to bring the
information himself (Which otherwise is
obtained by officers in their rear making
observations,.
"T'he fire with which the Uhlans are re-

that usually all the soldiers shoot as soon
