CHINA IS TO BLAME AMD CHNA WIIL HAVE TO TVKE THE CONSEQUENCES JAPAN 18 THE JOHN BULL OF THE ORIENT Yokahoma, August 1. —The follow iug statement efthe difficulty be tween China and Japan which led to the outbeak between those .wo coun tries has been issued by the Japanese government; Japan and China were approaching a settlement of their difficulties when Chiua suddenly requested Japan to withdraw her fleet from Corea and to give a formal compliance | .vith the Chinese demands by the 20ih, other wise the whole Chinese forces were to land and a sea advance upon the part of China was to be made. The Japanese regard this as am ultimatum, but, acting under the advice of the friendly powers, they agreed to the proposals in princi ple, in amended form, at the same time declaring that if the threat eued Chinese advance was made ou the 20ih it would be regarded as a menance to Japan.” It is conjectured that the Japan ese. naval commanders were in structed to be on the qui vive for the Chinese war ships, and seeing the latter advancing ou July 27 they opened fire. The Japanese do not believe that the Kow Shung, the Chinese trans port sunk by the Japanese cruiser, was flying the British flag ; but in any.cate they-regard it if true, as being a ruse de gueire. The Japanese indignantly decy the charge of brutality brought against the officers and crew of the cruiser which sank the transport. No official report has been receiv ed ai Yokahoma of this engage ment. BLACK TO SUCCEED HIMSELF- THE TENTH DISTRICT DEMOCRAT RE- NOMINATED HIM FOR CONGRESS.
