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. BERTH EOR PIEIKELJOHN. Defeated Senatorial Candidate Will B Taken Care Of.

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. WAR REVENUE COLLECTIONS.
