THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVTLLP. GA.
JAPS ARE READY
TO DRUB RUSSIA
Seems That Bloody Clash
is Near at Hand.
ACTIVITY AT NAVAL STATIONS
Washington Officials Doubt That
Hostilities Wall Begin, Notwith
standing Contrary Reports.
Advioes from Yokohama, Japan, are
to the effect that the feeling that there
taut Tie no peace in the orient, save by
administering a drubbing to Russia,
is growing stronger. It is almost the
uuatiimous voice of the native press
that if the powers do not take meas
ures to curb Russian aggression, Japan
must undertake the task alone. Coupl
ed with the strong undercurrent of
public opinion is the evidence that the
govern meat is preparing for the emer
gency with the utmost possibly dili
gence. Unceasing activity at the
various naval stations and yards is re
ported. The nation is evidently gath
ering its resources and energies for
the struggle.
The Yokohama newspapers say it is
proposed to relieve the Japanese troops
in the Chinese province of Pe-Chi-Li
by a force 50 per cent stronger.
Although May is the usual month in
which the relief of the force at Seoul
takes place, the relief of the troops
there will take place immediately.
Three officers of the headquarters staff
will also proceed to Korea. These
movements, with the usual activity at
the arsenals, is taken to point to the
adoption of a strong policy by Japau.
A dispatch received in St. Peters
burg from Vladivostock, dated Tues
day, March 26th, says that a conspir
acy on the part of the Korean minister
of justice and General Tehu-Sei-Men
to bring foreign troops io Seoul was
betrayed to the Korean cabinet. The
object of the conspirators, the dispatch
adds, was to cause the downfall tff the
ministry. The principal plotters have
been deported.
THINK WAR IMPROBABLE.
A Washington special says: State
department officials are not as much
exercised over the probability of war
between Japan and Russia as might be
indicated from the published reports
from the far east. It is asserted in
diplomatic circles that Russia has
much to lose and little to gain by go
ing to war with Japan.
A high authority on Japanese affairs
said that there is but little danger of
a war between Japan and Russia
while the present government of Japan
exists. In the first place, it is con
ceded that Japan has a navy far supe
rior to that of Russia, and in case of
hostilities between these two countries
Russia would be at a disadvantage.
Manchuria would probably be the bat
tleground in the event of such a war.
In that event Russia would have but
one base of supplies in that vicinity,
which is Port Arthur. Japan would
at once seize that point and render
Russia destitute of a naval station or
any haven of refuge for her warships.
In addition to this consideration,
the present government of Japan is
inclined to be pro-Russian in its poli
cy, and for that reason neither the
Japanese nor Russian representatives
in this country anticipate war in the
near future.
There was a report in circulation a few
days ago that all the naval and milita
ry attaches of the Japanese govarnmeut
in this country and in other countries
had been hastily summoned back to
man Japanese warships in anticipation
of early hostilities with Russia. This
statement was promptly denied at the
Japanese legation.

MEXICO PROGRESSES.
Status cf Affairs Set Forth By Presi
dent Diaz In Message.
A dispatch from Mexico city says:
President Diaz opened the April ses
sion of the twentieth congress Monday.
His message was brief and was listen
ed to by a large audience, among whom
were several visiting Americans.
In brief, the president said that
foreign relations remain friendly.
Thirteen republics of this continent
have accepted the invitation of Mexico
to send delegates to the International
American convention, which will meet
at this capital on the 22d of October
next. Mexico has sent delegates to
the Latin-American Scientific con
gress, to be held in Montevideo, capi
tal of Uruguay.
During the first six months of the
present fiscal year 278 new titles to
mines have been granted, mostly for
gold and silver properties.
The census shows the population o?
the republic to be 13,540,700, an in
crease of 91,340 in five years.
During the past six mouths the rail
roads of the country have been in
cread by 2GB kilometres.
Seventy-five new postoffices have
been established and a noteworthy in
crease in the amount of postal matter
bandied has been made. Special busi
ness with the United States has in
creased 40 per cent. The postal
revenues have increased 15 per cent.
The telegraph lines have increased
1,400 kilometres and several new river
cables have been laid.
The financial condition of the gov
ernment is satisfactory. During the
first half of the fiscal year the revenue
amounted to a total of §31,000,000,
the largest sum ever collected in a
similar period during the history of
:he government.

FRAUDS UNEARTHED
Alleged Crookedness Pound In
.Manila and a Large Number
of Arrests Made.
According to advices from the Phil
ippines, inieres? in the capture ami
fate of Aguiualdo is well nigh over
shadowed in Manila by sensational de
velopments, present and prospective,
of frauds in the commissary depart
ment. How widely these extend has
not yet been ascertained, but enongh
is already known to justify the belief
that they are far reaching.
Captain Frederick J. Barrows, of
the Thirtieth volunteer infantry, quar
termaster of the department of south
ern Luzon, together with seven com
missary sergeants, several civilian
clerks, a prominent government con
tractor, the assistant manager of the
Hotel Oriente, the proprietors of three
of the largest bakeries in Manila, a
number of storekeepers and other per
sons have beeu arrested.
The investigation has scarcely be
gun. but it is stated thousands of sacks
of flour, a quantity of bacon and
wagon loads of other goods, all bear
ing government marks, have been
found in the possession of unauthor
ized persons.
It is alleged that the contractor in
question, who has been doing a busi
ness approximating SIOO,OOO per
month, has spent huge sums in enter
taining officers.
A prominent commissary officer is
pccused of leading a scandalously im
moral life.
It is asserted that large quantities of
stores have beeu lost or stolen in
transit, and also that there is a short
nge in in the commissary depot.
New scandals are developed daily.
Illicit transactions have been traced
back to June, 1960, and it is possible
that there are others of earlier date.
The exorbitant tariff on provisions
makes the surreptitious sale of com
missary supplies immensely profitable.
It is understood that other United '
States officers may be arrested.
Lieutenant Philip K. Sweet, of the'
forty-sixth volunteer infantry,is prose'
enting the investigation under the di
rection of Colonel Wilder, chief of po
lice.
It was said at the white house and
war department Sunday night that ab
solutely nothing had been received by
the government regarding the alleged
unearthing of crooked work on the
part of the army quartermasters and
others in Luzon and the ariest of a
number of persons in and out of the
army for stealing property of the gov
ernment or receiving stolen property.
General Corbin said furthermore that
the government had no intimation ol
any sort that Mich developments might
be expected.

which he will stop. Some set speeches
at several places already are arranged
