4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1895. OILY HADE A BLUF, Japan Could Not Hold QOut Long Against | the Powers. SOME CLEVER DIPLOMACY For a Time the Ministers Suc- ceeded in Deluding the People. THEN YIELDED GRACEFULLY. . Army Officers at First Furious by the Withdrawal From Manchuria. TOKIO, Jarax, May 10 (via Victoria, | B. C., May 21).—History has moved with | extraordinary rapidity during the past two | weeks. The newly established peace has | been endangered, and complications of far | greater magnitude than any produced by | the contest between China and Japan have | threatened to involve at least three Euro- | pean powers in a desperate struggle for | supremacy in Eastern Asia, For several days the attitude of Japan indicated a resolution to set the enormous odds against | her at defiance. Then, with a suddenness | which most watchful observers are unable | to explain, the spirit of resistance subsided | and complete submission was promised to | the harsh demands of the hostile league. | In spite of the avowed willingness to yield | to superior force, an unlooked-for delay | on the part of China in meeting her obliga- | tions awakened fears of a revived conflict.| between the Asian empires, but at the last | moment this calamity was averted, and no | disadvantage. The expectation that the Government would maintain a courageous frontas long as defiance was possible, was strengthened on May 3, when it was learned China had asked that the date for exchanging ratifications should bedeferred ten days and had been sharply refused. Asitcould not be doubted that China acted at the instigation of the adverse powers, this empbatic response in- dicated anything but a disposition to quail. So likewise did the decree of the War Department on the same day, summoning all the reserves in a body for active service and ordering the re-enforce- ment of the garrisons in Yzo. Whileit ap- peared incredible that Japan could dream of joining issue with the three giants, it was hoped that a way had been discovered | to ward off the impending danger antil the definite announcement of their purpose could no longer be avoided, and that the Government would keep a bold counten- ance while a single chance of preserving the conquests in Manchuria remained. This illusion, after being cherished for two | days, was painfully dispelled. On May 4 came the intelligence from Kioto that the offer had been made by Count Ito to re- linquish the whole of Manchuria, except the southern portion of the Liao Tung Peninsula, on which Talien and Port Ar- thur are situated. This was the first inti- mation of the Ministry’s resolve to yield. VERY CRITICAL AT SEOUL. Serious State of Affairs Now Ewxists in Korea. YOKOHAMA, Japan, May 21.—Advices from Seoul, the capital of Korea, dated May 20, say the situation there is critical. The Premier has resigned and the Minis- ter of the Interior has applied to represen- tatives of the powers for assistance. The residences of the Regent and the King's father, who isalso a leader of the anti- Japanese, are surrounded by the police. Entrance to or exit from their dwellings is forbidden.

But neither England nor any other great power could be in-| duced to take up arms on Japan’s behali. Kindly messages were received from Italy to the extent of giving assurance that if the United States would offer mediation, the Southern European kingdom would act in concert, but it soon appeared that Japan only had her own resources to rely upon. When this was fully realized, the Government straightway decided to avoid further contest and devote its ener- gies to securing the best terms of accom- modation. This decision, however, was not divulged to any one but the Ministers in immediate attendance upon the sov- ereign. Those who remained in Tokio, as | well as all subordinatevofficials, were lefi in doubt as to the contemplated purpose, and most of them rather gathered the im- - pression that a long and strong tussle would take place before any sign of yield- ing would be given. TUntil the expiration of the armistice, or at least until the ratifications of the treaty with China were exchanged, Japan could not properly be called- upon to declare herself, and in the meantime dextrous ‘diplomacy might find many means of im- proving the Japanese position or weaken- ing that of the confederates. That the Ministers in Kioto were busily engaged in this very work every one hoped and believed. In point of fact, however, nothing effective was done in this direc- tion. It is wunderstood that almost from the beginning the Emperor's advisers were in favor of submitting, with the solitary exception of Viscount Mutsu, who opposed his associates with all the force he could command, but whose dis- tressing illness made it impossible for him to assert his customary infiuence. Not only the heads of most of the civil depart- * ments, but the military and naval leaders agreed as to the futility of resistance and the necessity of speedy surrender. Their reasons for the adoption of this remarkable course are yet to be heard, but whatever the explanations be, it is certain that their countrymen will not forgive them for what will be denounced as a sacrifice of the na- tional honor when the truth is universally known. General Yamagata, head of the War office, was dispatched in haste to Man- churia to notify the chiefs of the armies . what was in store and to gather their opinion as to the expediency of yielding without a struggle. Hisown mind was made up before he started from Japas and he seems to have found little difficulty in con- verting most of the corps commanders to hisviews. Someofthem, however, aresaid to have objected strenuously. General Nozu and Lieutenant-General Yamaji ‘went so far, according to report, as to as- sert that if the orders to retire were sent them they would not obey but would hold their ground to the point of death. This momentary outburst of insubordination will probahly not be remembered to their | OKLAHOMA OITY, O, T., May 21.— The Kickapoo country, which will be | opened to white settlement Thursday | moon, is full of *“sooners” and more are | going in every day. These men are very | bold in their declarations and there can be no doubt that the most shameless acts of “soonerism” will be practiced on all sides. The news of the President’s praclamation has not penetrated much beyond the towns lining the railroads. In the inland towns and on farms are many people who have been waiting for years for the opening of the Kickapoo lands, and these will nardly receive the news in time to get ready and get to the country by Thursday. The people of Chandler and Tecumseh, | who, several times during the past two | months, were fooled by couriers riding into the town with the announcement that the Kickapoo country was open to settlement, and who rushed pellmell into the reserva- tion and staked off claims, have discov- ered that under a strict construction of the “‘mooner” act of 1889, every man who went | on these false alarms is a ‘‘sooner’ and barred from taking land. They have found that an organization of the old Kick- apoo boomers, who have been cam; on the ‘line for years, have all ihe names, date of runs and the lo- cations of the claim, each one staked to be useful in proving them ‘“‘sooners,” and the false alarms were a | scheme of the old-timers to shut off much | competition in the real opening. There is much bad feeling and there may be trouble between the two factions on Thursday. As yet, however, nothing real has hap- pened to mar the universal feeling of hap- piness that prevails along the border lines of the new El Dorado, and great expecta- tions are harbored by many of the old- timers, who know the lay of the land per- fectly, and each of whom has long ago | fiicked out some particular fine claim ' that e hopes to secure. e ———— LA GASCOGNE OVERDUE. Once More the Big Fremeh Iimer Is Causing Anwiety, NEW YORK, N. Y., May 2L—The French line steamer La Gascogne, due last Sunday, has not yet been sighted off Fire Island, At the offices of the company con- fidence is expressed that the steamer which was s0 admirably handled under trying weather conditions last winter will reach port in safety, there'having been no storm at sea since she sailed from Havre. The fact that the course usually taken by La Gascogne contains at this tim e numerous icebergs may have prompted the captain to take a longer route or to move slowly and cautiously. —_—— Behofleld at New Orleans.

ATTACKED BY SPANIARDS During the Sharp Fighting the Insurgents Are Routed. THE REVOLT NEARING AN END. It Is Sald the Movement Lacks the Support of the Better Classes of Cubans. HAVANA, Cusa, May 21.—An engage- ment between the Spanish and rebels was fought to-day in Eastern Cuba, in which Jose Marti, who was proclaimed President of the revolutionary party, was killed and his body positively identified. Colonel Salcedo received positive information that aband of insurgents under the command of the well-known leaders, Jose Marti, Maximo Gomez, Masso and Barrero, had taken up a line of march to pass the river Neuto in the direction of Victoria de Las Tunas, with the design of marching upon Puerto Principe. Colonel Salcedo dis- patched Colonel Sandoval with a detach- ment of troops to march in pursuit of the rebel band. Colonel Sandoval found the enemy en- camped at a point between Bijas and Boca de Dos Rios, on the right side of the Con- tecamaster River, a small tributary of the Cauto. The strip of land between the two rivers is high, thus making it a strong po- sition. Nevertheless Colonel Sandoval attacked the camp and found his troops harassed by a scattering fire of single shots from cover. The fight lasted -for an hour in this man- ner, at the end of which time the Spanish troops advanced and took the enemy’s po- sition, dividing the insurgent forces on the narrow strip of land by their advance and compelling the rebels to fly. The Spanish. trcops hotly pursued, and came upon the body of Jose Marti, who was later posi- tively identified. Of the rebels twenty were killed 'ana many others were wounded and left in the camp when they took flight. The Spanish force took some correspondence of the rebel leaders along with them, among which are some important papers. The larms and horses of the insurgents were also taken. The Spaniards lost five killed and seven wounded. COLON, CoroMeia, May 21.—According to advices from reliable sources the insur- rection in Cuba is rapidly falling. The revolt, it is represented, lacks the support of the better classes of Cubans; the Spanish military commanders are succeed- ing in isolating the trouble to one district, and the end of the uprising is expected in a few weeks. A band of insurgents pur- sued by troops has burned the railroad station at Maya and two stores near Songo. EARTHQUAKES IN ITALY. King Humbert Takes Active Measures for Relief. ROME, Irary, May 21.—Severe earth- quake shocks were experienced yesterday evening at Sopleto, a town situated on a hill about twenty-four miles north of Rieti. Much damage bas been done and many houses were destroyed. Assistance has been sentto Sopleto from Rieti, and everything possible will be done torelieve the sufferers. The damaged town has a population of 7000. The dispatches from Florence show that the authorities there are doing everything possible to repair the damage done by the earthquake of Saturday. Troops have been employed ever since the disaster succoring the suffering in the neighboring tewns and villages, and the distress has consequently been greatly lessened. King Humbert has from the first, by his special request, been kept informed re- garding the extent of the disasters and the measures of relief, and has personally di- rected the operations of the military au- thorities. He is understood to have sub- scribed liberally from his private purse for the relief of the aestitute. S BALFOUR TO BE PREMIER. Gossip Caused by the Approaching Dis- solution of Parliament. LONDON, Exa., May 21.—The afternoon newspapers of this city to-day have devoted much space to the scare caused by the report of the approaching dissolu- tion of Parliament. The Westminster Gazette says the next Conservative Ministry has already been agreed upon at the Carleton Club, the head- quarters of the prominent Conservatives. It is added the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour will be Premier. The Right' Hon. Joseph Chamberlain is slated for the office of Becretary of Home Affairs; the Marquis of Salisbury is likely to be the next Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and the Hon. George N. Curzen, at one time Parliamentary Under Secretary for India, is said to have been selected for the office of. Secretary for India. ——— THE MONTEREY IS THERE. To Protect American Interests During an Election in Peru. LIMA, Perv (via Galveston), May 21.— | Arrival of the United States steamship Monterey at Callao was welcomed with great enthusiasm. The Monterey is to stay at Callao until after the Presidential election in Peru, which is to occur on the first Sunday in June, and if there is any outbreak consequent upon the election she will assist in preserving order. The election is to choose a stable Consti- tutional Government to take the place of the Provisional Government chosen through the intervention of the papal nuncio after the success of the revolu- tionists. e e BICYCLIST LENZ'S MURDER. The Five Kurds Who Killed the Travel Are Known. : CONSTANTINOPLE, Turxey, May 21.— | 52 .Armenian advices say the names of five Kurds who are said to be the murderers of Frank G. Lenz of Pittsburg, Pa., who was killed while attempting to ride around the world on a bicycle, are known. It is an- nounced that William A. Sachtleben, who has gone in search of the missing bicyclist in the hope of recovering his body or ob- taining definite information as to the cause of his disappearance, has arrived at Er- zeroum.

MARQUIS ASSAILS LORD. Queensberry Gives His Son a Black Eye. LONDON, Exa., May 21.—The fashiona- ble afternoon promenade in Piccadilly was well filled with aristocratic spectators to- day when the Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Douglas of Harwick, near the corner of Bond street. A few words passed between them and then there wasa brief but very determined conflict. The police immediately separated the combat- ants and took them both to the police sta- tion. The young Lord’s countenance was dis- figured with a black eye. Neither the father nor son preferred a charge against the other, so they were merely charged with disorderly conduct, They will be ar- raigned in the Marlborough Police Court to-morrow. il e i Murdered and Mutilated.

PITTSBURG, Pa., May 21.—In the Pres- byterian General Assembly to-day Dr. George Norcross of Carlisle, Pa., presented a report on ‘“‘Home Missions.” Among the interesting recommendations was one con- tinuing Dr. Thomas S. Hastings, president of the faculty, and John Crosby Brown, vice-president of the board of -directors of Union Seminary, as members of the home mission board. George E. Sterry of New York moved that the nominations be re- ferred back to the committee so that the New York Presbytery might be heard on the subject. The motion was laid on the table by a large vote, and the motion favoring Dr. Hastings and John Crosby Brown was carried by a standing vote with none in the negative. A resolution was adopted committing the church to contributions of $1,250,000 next year. The first Sunday in June was designated as a day for the special purpose of raising the debt of the home mission board. The opening of the assembly this after- noon was devoted to a partial report of the committee on bills and overtures. Among the matters disposed of was one in regard to the use of individual cups at commu- nion. By a standing vote, with very few in the negative, the church decided not to make the change contemplated. The regulation of young people’s societies .of Christian Endeavor was relegated to the individual churches. An attempt to effect a reduction of the expenses of the mis- sionary boards was discussed, with no answer. The report of the board of relief for disabled ministers was presented by Dr. Jesse Forbes of New York. Receipts amounted to $176,000 and the expenses to $178,000, which has been distributed to 785 persons, of whom 310 were ministers and 419 widows of ministers. The average ap- propriation was about $200, 1t was stated that there were over 300 churches which had not contributed to the relief fund, and that the probability was appropriations would have to be cut down rather than increased in spite of the reso- lutions of the assembly to raise $200,000 during the coming year for the purposes of this board. Dr. John A. Blackburn of Covington, Ky., presented a report of the work of ntis- sions among the freedmen of the South. He said that the receipts and ‘ex- penditures of the board had been reduced over $4000, being now a little over $22,000. The board has maintained 175.m ries, 306 churches and missions, with 703 communicants, and 87 schools, with 10,- 529 pupils. Dr. Blackburn said the colored people have come to stay, and that they will soon hold the balance of power in some of the States. The question as to how the negro uses his power at the polls was de- clared to be one that the church can an- swer by its influence. YALE'S Hair Tonic.
