mastery of the local republican boss;
all of which Is followed by .1 strenuous
proclamation denying his interference in
K- al affairs.”

AGRICULTURE IN PHILIPPINES.
Experiments With Cotton Have
Given Good Results.
Washington, October I .—The Philip
pine bur. nu "f agriculture has forwarded
to the bureau of insular affairs, war de
partment. .1 report on the introduction
and distribution of seeds and plants In
the islands. Expo: intents with textile
plants were confined to cotton and jute.
Th report states that while the former
has given good results, it is a question
wnetlier the native grower has an ade
qn.it. conception of the standard crip
requirements of cotton growing countrl -s.
Jute promises to give excellent returns.
Fin” varieties of tobacco seed have ;
been distributed in the famous Isabella ‘

which it is hoped to obtain good results.
COLOMBIA WANTS FREE HAND.
In Dealing With the Panama Canal
Question.
Washington. Octo'-er I.—The state de
partin'nt tod iv received a cablegram from
Minister Beaupre, at Bagota, dated Sep
tember 30. stating that the committee of
the Colombian senate which was appoint
ed during the first debate on the report
of the canal committee to prepare the
material for the second debate has sub
mitted its report and it will be debated
in a few days. This report approves the
rejection of the treaty of August 12, but
disapproves the proposal to enact a law
to empower the president to open up ne
gotiations for the construction of a canal
under certain specified conditions. The
object, the cablegram states, apparently
is to leave the Colombian government at
liberty to negotiate a fresh treaty with
out restrictions. It seems, says Minister
Beaupre, that the report will probably
be adopted.
The news contain’d In the above cable
gram is not considered of a very fa
vorable character at the state depart
ment, Indicating a ■ It does that the Co
. lombian congress will refuse to give the
I president of i.’olombia a free hand in any
I future negotiations which may occur.

MN SENDS TROOPS
TO COREA.
This Action Is Considered To Be Di
rectly Related to the Manchu
rian Question—War Spirit
Is Very High in
Japan.
I Paris, Octol er I.—According to reliable
information received here Japan lias de-
1 ci led to send two regiments of infantry
Jto Corea. This Is regarded in authori-
I tative quarters as being a most impor
: ti.nt Stop as; affecting Russia-Japanese
! relations and as likely to accentuate the
possibilities of a war crisis.
Japan's decision is considered to be dl
tectly related to Russia’s proposition to
O'-acuate Manchuria October 3. 11 is
row a.'-opted in the highest quarters
that tho evacuation is impossible of ac
complishment, as China has not signed
thi terms on which Russia conditioned
her evacuation.
Tito advi'cs received show that t'hina
inclines to continue the present Russian
status in Manchuria rather than commit
Horst if to finally signing the proposed
agreement. In view of these conditions
Japan's declsJcn to send troops to Corea
is regarded as being a most significant
step.
Tite adviics further show that th? war
rpirit in J.tp.in has materially augment
ed during the last fortnight.
Russian Bear Watches Japan.
Paris, October 2.—lnformation received
here through official sources at St. Pe
tersburg show tliat the explanation given
of Japan's moving troops to Korea is
calculated to renew suspicion concerning
her intentions. The number of troops
moved Is estimated at between 8.000 and
10.000.
Japan explains that the movement is
part of a plan of experimental mobiliza
tion. for the purpose of showing- her abil
ity to mobilize a considerable force in
connection with the friction between Ja
pan and ('hina but that it lias no con
nection wit'n differences between Japan
and any other power. The officials re
fuse to comment upon the explanation.
Japanese Minister Talks.
Washington, October 2. - Baron Haya
shi, the Japan, s • minister here, has n.>
! ne-.es o. the iin> a. .:'
. troops to Korea, announced freu t Fails
: yesterday. in an intervu w today the
! minister said:
"From the published accounts I am sure
that tlie movement of troops will be only
tlx. routine relief Japanese forces guard
ing the tel-graph line from Fusan to
Seoul and Chemulpo. To send a small
body of troops to Korea would be no
menace to Russia and would have no
cfl'cct on her plans. A mobilization of
thi' Japanese forces on a large scale is
not contemplated for a moment and Ko
rra's consent would have to be obtaine 1
fur atty such step."
The minister added that, he still be
lieved Russia intr.-nde.l to keep) her prom
ise to evacuate Manchuria October 8. Un
til that promise was broken Japan was
not likely to make any move.
Th- Japanese troops guardittg the tele
graph lines were stationed in Korea whit
the assent of Russia as well as Korea.
W. Pritchard Morgan, consul gcne.ral
of Korea In London, also has no Informa
tion on the subject. He suggested, how
ever. that the time was coming when the
p.iwers should agree to Korea being de
clared an independent neutral state, Hka

KUROPATKIN TO LOSE PLACE.
Russian War Minister Will Soon Be
Retired.
Paris, September 29.—-Official advices
ftcm St. Petersburg indicate that Gen
eral Sakharoff, the chief of staff, will
soon succeed General Kuropatkin .is
minister of war. The latter shared with

ministers and former minister of finance,

churian co nplic tlions. Tlie change is
considered significant of a m->-iifi.ja tion
ot the Russian military policy in tite Far
i-.ast and along the Russian frontier in
Europe being contemporaneous with a
t..-d ction ot a military department at
Kieft, on the Austrian trontter.
