JAPAN NOTIFIES POWERS
WILL NOT TAKE PART IN
ARMED ATTACK ON CHINA

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 90
The text of an address by Foreign
Minister Baron Shldehara to the
Japanese diet has been published
here by the Japanese embassy. The
speech was a polite warning to the
rest of the powers that Japan could
not be relied upon to aid in inva-
sion of China, tho she would prob
ably try to keep her concessions Of
small pieces of Chinese territory.
Shidehara summarized Japan's
policy in China as: (1) No interven-
ton in, or further partition of, the
country; (2) economic approach
ment; (3) assistance to China in her
Gust aspirations; ~ patience and
tolerance in China's internal diff
ficulties, but protection of Japan's
interests.
Baron Shidehara also commented
on the friendship developing be-
tween Russia and Japan, and denied
that their interests would clash in
Manchuria. He regretted that rela-
tons with the United States were
not perfect.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 2o.-The b,t-

lied Gen. de la Huerta, who hoped,
with the support of the Yaqui Indians,
to launch a drive of dangerous pro
portions against the Gales govern
ment-the Yaquis have surrendered
They have been carrying on a fight
Of five months from their embattled
native hills in Sonora. Egged on by
de la Huerta and also by the oppo-
sition against the government display
ed by the catholics and other reac
tionary forces, the Indians, who have
always been rebellious and the easy
victims of counter-revolutionary in
trigue, have carried on a staff war
fare against federal troops.
Draw Iron Ring Tight.
But in the past several weeks a
strong concentration of federal forces
in the Yaqui country and the drawing
of an armed ring around their district,
supplemented by the bombardment of
-airplanes, has caused the Yaquis to
give up the fight. The surrender was
actuated by news that leaked thru
to the Indians that the government
was planning drag-net operation
that would scour every nook and cram
ny of their hills.
The minister of war, General Anna
70, received the petition of the Yaquis
and conferred Immediately with Pres
ident Gales, The decision was reach
ed to accept the surrender of the In
dams and appointed General Obregon
to carry on the final negotiations for
peace.
