SAN ANTONIO, TEx., Sept. 30.—It was learned hera this morning that negotia- tions have been quietly in progress for the past few days between the Florida Athletic Club and railroad officials in Mexico look- ing to the pulling-off of the Corbett-Fitz- simmons fight in that country across the river from Eagle Pass or at some point be- low there on the line of the Mexican Inter- national road in case it was found impossi- ble to have itat Dallas or in the Indian Territory. 1t is stated that the Governor of Coahuila, Mexico, guarantees protection to the fight- ers. President SBtuart writes a friend here that he will positively pull the fight off somewhere on or before October3l if the principals are alive and ready to meet each other. AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 30.—There are very few members of the Legislature in the city, and it's net probable that a quorum will be here to-morrow when the special session begins. From those who have ar- rived, however, it has been learned that the general sentiment is in “favor of the immediate passage of alaw making prize- fighting a felony. The Legislature will, it is said, be in session thirty days, as Gov- ernor Culberson wiil lay other matters be- fore it, amang them the recommendation of a Jaw making gambling a felony. CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., Sept. 30.— Fully 1000 people assembled at the Aran- sas Pass depot to-night, all eager to get a glimpse of the big Australian. Fitzsim- was met at the train by a committee epresentative men and escorted to the antine Hotel. Fitzsimmons has but to say in refcrence to the fight. Mar- ian, Ernest Roberts, Duncan C. Ross, Charles White, Joe Rancher and the lion constitute the personnel of the party. Fitzsimmons will move into his quarters to-morrow. He is in good condition., CORBETIT'S FAREWELL BOW. Bejore Leaving New York He Talked to the Public. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 30. — At the Madison-square Garden to-day Champion James J. Corbett made his farewell bow to New York prior to his fight with Bob Fitzsimmons on October 31. The cham- pion leaves for Texas to-morrow for final preparations. During the afternoon Corbett gave an * «exhibition of his training methods, in- cluding bag-punching, machine exercises, wrestling, €tc. In the evening there were a series of bouts, mostly between local lights, and_the 4000 spectators were by no means patient in awaziting the coming of the champion. Corbett was a little on the fleshy side, but will doubtless train down in a month. When Corbett clambered through the ropes be met an enthusiastic reception and loud calls for a speech. He said: *Of course you all know that [ am going down to Texas to get ready to meet Mr. Fitzsimmons. I have the utmost confi- dence in the ability of the Florida Athletic Club to bring off the conte If the prin- cipals are as ready to fight as I think they are we will not come back from Texas without one. I am willing to do anything or go anywhere that the Florida Athletic Club says, and I have confidence in it."” Corbett wound up the enteriainment with a three-round bout with Steve 0'Don- nell. e B0 I A ON THE EASTERN TRACKS.

NEW HAVEN, Coxx., Sept. 30.—Every- thing is ready for the great international collegiate athletic meeting between the team representing Yale University and the champion Cambridge University team of England, which are to be contested on Manhattan field, New York, next Satur- day. Both teams practically completed | their severe course of training to-day, and with_the exception of light work to keep in trim the time now on until the games will be passed quietly. There is little doubt that Yale men will win easily, as they seem to have a sure thing on every event, The betting is as high as 3tolin their favor, with few takers. The English team has acknowledged that it cannot hope to win, as it is unable to withstand the severe climatic conditions, and that none of tbe men are in the best of healtn. For the past week, however, they have indulged in secret practice, and it is thought that, contrary to expectations, they will make a very strong showing. The Yale team is practically the same as that which met Oxford University at Kensington Ovai, London, last year and were defeated. The Cambridge *team badly defeated the champion Oxford team this year, and nearly all the men compos- ing it are record-breakers. The outlook for a close struggle, notwithstanding the betting, is very bright. A reception will be given to-morrow night to the visiting athletes by representatives of Harvard and Yale universiti — - SOUTH DAKOTA COURSING. Drawing of Dogs to Compste in Two Great Stakes.

Two Wheelmen to Run From Chicago to San Francisco. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 30.—Two Chi- cago wheelmen will start from the City Hall to-morrow on the longest record ride of the year. San Francisco is their des- tination, end if they win their time must bc better than 48 days and 18 hours. B. B. Blakeslee of the Chicago Cyciing Club and N. A. Wingquist, a strong road rider, are the young men who will figure in the trial. They are both well-known Chidago cyclers, and upon their arrival in that eity will be tendered a reception. This is_the longest journey ever taken by a cyclist, but toth are con- fident of accomplishing their purpese. On their transcontinental ride the cyclists will use wheels weighing twenty-threc pounds and will carry as little baggage as possible, Aside from the necessary clothing this will compromise a repair outfit and a haversack. The greater part of the riding will be done by daylight, but when condi- tiens favor the tourists wili push on at night, but at no time do they expect to re- main on the road from sundown to sun- rise. — 1 RACES AT SALINAS. Track Record for Two-Y¥ear-Olds Broken by. Prince Gift. SALINAS, Cs1.,, Sept. 30.—Fast time was made at the Salinas fair races to-day. In the first race, for the two-year.old colt stakes, the time was the fastest ever made by a two-year-old on this track. The race was won in two straight heats by J. B. Iverson’s Prince Gift, in 2:2714. The second race, a 2:20 class trot, was the event of the day, it being warmly con- tested by Boodlp and Irene Crocker. Boodle sold a favorite from start to finish. The other starters were Bay Rum and Bishop Hero. Irene Crocker took the first two heats in 2:17 and 2:183%, Boodle win- ning the next three in 2:183, 2:19 and 2:20, closely pursued by Crocker in each heat. Bay Rum was third and Bishop Hero fourth. . The result of the 2:25 pacing race was a surpriser, the talent playing Altoonita for a sure winner. There were three starters— Susie K, qwned by S. E. Kent; Ivolo, owned by J. B. Iverson, and Z. Hebert’s bay mare Altoonita. Ivolo took the first heat in 2:2734, Altoonita taking the next two in 2:25 and 2:27, Iyolo then won the fourth and fifth heats in 2:24 and 2:25. e REDWOOD CITY'S TROPHY. San Mateo and Mountain Fiew Cyclers Beaten. REDWOOD CITY, Car., Sept. 30.—The Redwood City cup defenders won the twenty-five-mile relay race from Milbrae to Mountain View, in which crack teams from Mountain View, San Mateo and Red- wood City were the participants. It was an exciting and close race from start to finish, and was won on a margin_ of about 5sec. The time for the twenty-five miles was 1 hour 10 min. 14 sec. This being the second time the cup has been won by the Redwood City Bicycle Club, the beautiful silver tropby remains permanently in their possession. PR oy iy i The Fight “No Contest,”” ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30.—Billy McMillan, the champion middle-weight of Washington, and Paddy Gorman, the Aus- tralian middle-weight, fought before the Eureka Club to-night. The referee in the seventh round declared the fight off, de- ciding it “no contest.” e One Steamer Is Safe. BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 30.—H. 8. ll.*nxher. manager of the Cleveland-Buffalo ine, states this morning that the steamer State of New York is gnnle, having weath- ered the gale of Saturday night ofig ester- day under cover of Long ™ Point the Canadian shore. The storm on the lakes has been the heaviest of the segsop. WATSONS OPINIONS, Valkyrie 1II’s Designer Says That the Race Was a Farce. VERY BAD TREATMENT. Yet at His Suggestion the Brit- ish Boat Remained on This Side. WILL RACE HERE NEXT SEASON, Dunraven and His Associates Have Not Given Up the Quest for the Cup. NEWPORT, R. I., Sept. 30,—Designer George L. Watson left to-day for New York and will sail Wednesday on the White Star steamship Teutonic. He has been here during the last week with Lord Dunraven and it is thought that the plans for the Valkyrie during the coming . racing season were laid ouf, It was at Mr. Watson’s desire, so it has leaked out, that the Valkyrie was allowea to remain in this country after Lord Dun- raven had settled that she wasto go to England immediately after the cup races. Mr. Watson when seen to-day by Tue Cavrw correspondent and asked whether he would return to America during the com- ing racing season, said that he would surely. “Have you any views fo express on the cup races of the year?”’ I have nothing else to say than what I have stated before that our treatment was simply abominable, When international yachting gets to be such a farce as it was this year it ig eminently right and proper that it should be stopped immediately. As far as I can see the races this year were viewed more in the light of prize-fights than anything else, not one single element of sportsmanlike treatment entering into them. T have to be convinced that the Defender 1s the better boat.” *In the first race the Defender beat us fairly, but then you must take into calcu- lation the fact that it was the initial race, and we were not able to do our best, as it was in most respects only a feeler. In the second race I do not think the Defender's accident vrevented her from winning, for we lost fully as much time when we luffed up to see what action the committee was going to take and in getting under way again as she did by having her topmast stay broken. Her accident was of a very sim- ple nature, as any seaman knows, but in the present instance it has been magnified intoa thing of tremendous importance, and I truly believe that the majority of people believe the accident was the only thing that prevented tbe Defender from winning by a large margin. I have noth- ing to say in regard to the decision of the comuuittee as being a body of sportsmen. I presume that their action was taken ju: an impossibility for me to see how they arrived at that decision. “I shall be back early in the spring to superintend the tuning up of the Valkyrie and she will compete in all the large races during the season. I have several altera- tions in view, which I think will make her several minutes faster, and I feel confident that she will give a good account of herself during the coming season. I am mnot authority for the statement, but the Val- | kyrie will doubtless be used as a trial horse for the new cup challenger, which wiil arrive much earlier in the season than ever hefore, so as to get in trim for the races.” FOR THE — e HALF-RATER CUP. That Trophy Also Coveted by the Cana- dian Yachtsmen. MONTREAL, Quesec, Sept. 30.—At n special meeting of the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club held this evening it was de- cided, in view of the defeat of the Spruce IV in the international challenge series by the American yacht Ethelwynn, to challenge for the half rater cup. The requisite amount for ‘the designing and building of the boat was at once sub- scribed. The new challenger will be built by G. H. Duggan, and in the event of an English challenger will have a series of SCHOFIFLD'S RETIREMENT. President Cleveland Says Nice Things About the Veteran. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30.—The following order announcing the retirement of General Schofield was published to-day: EXECUTIVE MANSION. Lieutenant-General John M. Schofield having reached the age entitling him to relief from active military service in accordance with the provisions of law, is hereby placed upon the retired list, with "all the pay allowances belonging to his rank upon such retirement. With much regret the President makes the announcement that the country 1is thus to lose this dis- tinguished = general, who has done so much for 1its honor and efficiency. His gallantry in war challenges the admira- tion of all his countrymen, while they will not fail to eratefully remember and appreciste how faithfully hé has served his country in times of peace by his splendid, succeesiul per- formeance of civil as well as military duty. Lieutenant-General Schofield’s career—exhib- iting unvarying love for his profession, zealous care for {ts honor and good name. a just appre- hension of the subordination it exacts and the constant manifestation of the best traits of true Americanism—fnrnishes an example of ines- timable value that should teach all other tao le that the highest soldierly qualities are uilt upon the keenest sense of obligations be- longing to good citizenship.

C., Sept. 30.—The Grand Jury of the District of Columbia concluded its labors to-day and was dis- charged. A recommendation in its final report that the whipping-post be estab- lished in the district for the punish- ment of wife-beaters and petty thieves created much surprise not to say astonish- ment. It was signed by sixteen members of the Grand Jury. [n directing the clerk to file the paper Juage Bradley remarked tly, although I must confess that it was | trial races to see which will try for the cup. | | holding the course of the Secretary and in- | | railroad circles. Discussing the subject that he agreed that the establishment of a whipping-post here would be productive of good results in some instances. But the courts could not establish it, hence Con- gress should be applied to 1n the matter and he advises the members of the Grand Jury to move in that direction. - e i Stricken With Paralysis. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 39.—Ex- Senator William Mahone bad a stroke of paralysis this morning. He has been stopping ‘'at Chamberlin’s Hotel, and this morning his son, Butler Mahone, calling at his father’s room found the general still inbed and apparently very drowsy. Not suspecting anything wrong Butler left the room, and calling again later found his father still in the same condition. He be- came alarmed and a physician was sum- moned. After examination the doctor pronounced it a case of paralysis, His condition is critical. el Will Take Off the Steamers. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30.—Con- sul O’Hara writes the Department of State from San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua. his | station, that it is reported in Bluehelds that the Southern Pacific Company -wall discontinue running its vessel of the Mor- an line of steamships between New Or- eansand Bluefields. The reasons assigned for this action are the low price of bananas and the difficulty of competing with ves- sels owned by Norwegians and manned by the poorly paid sailors of that nation. g = e Captain Armes’ Case. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30.—Secre- tary Lamont has as yet taken no action .in the'case of Captain Armes. General Scho- field left Washington last eveming for Pelee Island, in Lake Erie, to spend two weeks fishing. The objectionngle letter addressed him by Captain Armes has been turned over to Secretary Lamont. ittt e Treasury Statement. WASHINGTON, D. ©., Sept. 30.—The Treasury statement of receipts and expend- itures issued to-morrow will show a “sur- lus for the month of September of nearly 3,000,000. The receipts are $27,500,000 an. expenditures $24,500,000. Compared With last September, the receipts are nearly $5,000,000 greater and the expenditures $4,500,000 les: REPRIMAND OF KIRKLAND Secretary Herbert’s Rebuke to the Admiral Approved by Cleveland. Censured for Congratulating Presi- dent Faure of France on His Election. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30.—Secre- tary Herbert’s reprimand of Admiral Kirkland, commanding the European squadron, it is understood, has been ap- proved by President Cleveland, and the incident is thereby probably closed. Admiral"Kirkland is an old personal friend of the chiel executive of France, and when M. Faure ‘was elected to the | presidency of that Republic the former | wrote him a congratulatory letter signed STMPATHY FOR CUBA Oontinued from First Page. from the European rule which the other netions of the New World have already se- cured. Be it further Resolved, That the organization which ar- ranged this gathering be requested to take charge of and continue the good Work So auspiciously begun this evening. Dr. Barrows followed the reading of the resolutions with an appeal for their adoption. _ “We are told,” said he, “that we must keep on good terms with Spain, but there is alimit even to good fellowship. I hope these meeting, will arouse a new feeling of independence and patriotism. I do not believe that a cutthroat nation has any right to be honored with our silence here to-night.” Mayor Swift introduced Bishop Fallows, who spoke briefly. The proceedings closed with the singing of two verses of “America.” The meeting at Association Hall was no less enthusiastic or crowded. Judge Wil- liam A. Vincent made a few remarks as vresiding officer, saying he was a believer in the independence of Cuba, but did not wish to see a violation of international law. The audience was deeply interested and any good point made was taken up at once. . After the Rev. P. 8. Henson had spoken ex-Corporation Counsel John Palmer ex- plained the intent and effect of the laws of nations. He thought the people of the United States should speak through the newspapers to their brother Americans of Cuba and should urge our own Govern- ment to recognize the Cubans as bel- ligerents, W. J. Hynes followed Mr. Palmer, after which the resolutions were read by Dr. Thomas. They were adopted with great enthusiasm. The Hon. W. E. Mason’s talk closed the meeting and the audience sang ‘““America” while leaving the building. The audince applauded every sentiment expressed by the speakers suggesting the recognition of the Cubans as belligerents. Two of the speakers defied the law of nations and Mr. Mason wanted animme- diate repeal of that law which, he said, was only intended to preventone nation from interfering while another nation was committing depredations of some kind against another nation. The sentiment for the annexation of Cuba was not strong. Three speakers wanted the inhabitants of the island to determine their own course by popular vote after independence was gained. 5 S SAYSs THEY ARE BRIGANDS. Minister De Lome’s Opinion of the Cuban Insurgents. BOSTON, Mass.,, Sept. 30.—Senor De Lome, the Spanish Minister, stopped a short time in this city to-day, on his way to Montreal, and when seen by a CALL cor- respondent consented to give his views on the rebellion in Cuba. “The rebellion, contrary to popular be- in his own capacity. When knowledge of this fact transpired exception was taken | to it by the Navy Department, and Secre- | tary Herbert called for an explanation, | Admiral Kirkland made no effort to con- | ceal the authorship of the letter, and a | reprimand was administered by the Sec- | retary. From this the officer appealed to the President. It is said that the President in his letter | to the admifal, transmitted through thoi secretdryewent fufther than merely up- formed Admiral Kirkland. thatin his of- | ficial capacity as commander of the Euro- pean squadron he had no right to_write a communication to the President of France congratulating him upon his election. President Cleveland and Secretary Her- bert both were of the opinion that the ex- tension of congratulations to a successful candidate might be taken as a felicitation | over the defeat of his opponents, and the iatter taking umbrage at the course pur- | sued by a naval representative micht em- broil us in a complication with the Goyern- ment of France. Rear-Admiral Kirkland did not refuse to | furnish the de{mnmem with a copy of his letter to M. Faure, but so far it has not been received. % e NOT TO CRIPPLE TRAFFIC. There Was Only-Talk of Withdrawing a Local Train. OMAHA, Nesr., Sept. 30.—Reports to the effect that the Southern Pacific con- tempiated withdrawing its trains at Ogden are creating 4 great deal of comment in | to-day General Manager Dickinson of the Union Pacific said: “The foundation for the rumor rests in the fact that Mr. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific telegraphed to me, as well as to the general managers of other connecting lines, that there was some talk of with- drawing a train from Ogden to Reno. We were notified that before this was done we would be given ample time to meet with him and other Southern Pacific offi- cials and discuss the withdrawal of this train. This meeting will be held shortly, ‘The train that the Southern Pacific pro- poses to withdraw is the one that connects at Ogden with Union Pacific train No. 7, which is the’ through local train. Our principal through train from Chicago and Omaha to San Francisco is No. 1, the over- land fiyer, and if the proposed train was withdrawn it would in no way affect No. 1. There is no intention whatever on the part of the Southern Pacific to ruin our through business, or in any way to miss or inter- fere with our through connections,” R PRSI “BLOODY MONDAY NIGHT.” Rushing and Punching Renewed at Har- vard College. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 30. — “Bloody Monday night” at Harvard has been re- juvenated. To-night the sophomores and ireshmen rushed and “scrapped” as of old. In the early part of the evening a recep- tion was held at Lander's Theater. Ad- dresses were made by President Bliot, Prof. Norton and Governor Greenhalge. After- ward a reception was held in Memorial Hall at which the new students met the officers. It was thought that this would kill any feeling for excitement in the in- coming class. Only a few punches were given on the grounds and Harvard square ‘Wwas very quiet. About 10 o’clock faint cheering began in the yard and soon the yard was filled with college men and others. The rushing be- gun it was kept up until a late hour, very little attempt being made to stop it. A member of the faculty was in the yard looking on. This is the first organ- ized rush in over five years. The resuit will probably be the shutting down on freshmen athletics by the faculty. 5 e Two Banks Insolvent. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Sept. 30.— The Bank of Monett and the Bank of Purdy, both Bary County banks, have been closed by Secretary of State Leiseur upon notification by the State Bank Ex- lief,” said he, ““is by no means receiving the support of influential Cubans, but is made up of the slaves, small planters and others, who, when not engaged in fichting the Government, are little better than brigands. The newspaper reports which have been received from the island are entirely misleading, as they are from correspondents who in most cases have been nowhere near the ene of metion, and write from mere hear- say. The rebellion has been ¢ ned only to the eastern part of the island in the region of Santo de Cuba and Puerto Prin- cipe, and excepting for occasional raids from the mountains, the rebels have made no important advances. In fact, they have been defeated in every pitched battle which bas been fought. The reports con- cerning the alarming losses of the Spanish troops are entirely misleading, as the offi- cial reports which I have received show that the losses have been very light, and even the greater part of these are from the climatic conditions, which have told very severely on the troops. *‘The revolution itself is destined to die & natural death, as no Cubans having the welfare of their country will be identified with it. All the stories about General Campos’ giving up the campaign in despair are mere nonsensical stories, pure fabrications, He is at present merely bid- ing his time until the ending of the we’ season, when he will take the field with & picked army, and the rebellion will be of short duration. I am pleased to see that the administration has not consented to recognize the rebels as having belligerent rights, a3 no Government knowing the true state of affairs could do so without being exposed to ridicule. The American people, Iam sorry to say, have rathera perverted idea of the rebellion. One has only to look into the history of the other republics on the American continent that have abandoned the Spanish rule to-see what would be the result if Cuba secured her freedom. If the Spanish rule is bad, liberty would be far worse, and when it is a question of choosing between two evils it is generally policy to take the lesser. - “‘Once more I say that the rebellion will be crushed out even if it takes every sol- dier in Spain and the entire wasting of the treasury. The prospects for a speedy ter- mination of the revolution are very bright. ‘We have a large and well-disciplined army in Cuba, who are now thoroughly accli- mated, and with the best general in Spain at their head they will make short work of the rebels as soon as they take the fieid. They bhave not as yet made a single cam- paign, but with the advent of October work will be commenced 1n earnest, and ington that the insurrection of Cuba Inust be crushed within three months or ofpher- wise the United States Government' will adopt a different policy from thel one hitherto observed.

A correspondent visited the insdrgent headquarters two days ago and had & prief interview with General Bartolomeo Mlasso, bead of the new rebel government. ‘{Dur- ing the last war,” said General Masso{ “we never had more than 10,000 men in jarms against the Spanish Government, and no Cuban general ever led as many as 2000 men into battle. And yet the striggle lasted long years and cost Spain thelives of 150,000 soldiers. ‘ “{xx the present movement we have al- ready 40,000 men in the field, and if we had the arms for them we could muster within a fortnight twice that many. In the prov- ince of Santiago alone we have 23,000, in Las Villas 10,000 and 1n Camaguay at least 7000. But only about half of these aré well armed; the remainder are simply equipped with single-fire rifles, shotguns, muskets, revolvers and machetes.

Any other tactics would for the present be suicidal to us. We have, be- sides, everything to gain by delay; Spain all to lose. It suits our convenience to allow Government columns to tire them- selves chasing our forces around the coun- try. While we lose comparatively few men in this way, yellow fever and dysen- tery daily claim their numerous victims from the Spanish ranks.” General Masso has, he says, strong hopes that, despite the vigilance that is at pres- ent displayed in the United States to pre- vent the shipment of arms for Cuba, Pres- | ident Cleveland may still be one of the first to recognize the belligerent rights of the revolution. To-day, despite President Cleveland’s neutrality, or, more properly speaking, the friendly disposition of the United States toward Spain, as defined in the policy of Secretary Olney, President Masso says the Americans get no thanks forit. On the contrary, the pressof the peninsula grows more bitter from day to day in editorial attacks on the United States, and even urges Minister Canovas to send a Spanish fleet to New York to ask President Cleveland to explain why he has not imprisoned Delegate Palma, Treasurer Guerra, Secretary Quesadaand other mem« bers of the Cuban junta. By recognizing thé belligerent rights of the Cuban republicans,”” Masso continued, “the United States would relieve herself of the unthankful task of doing police duty for the Spanish Government, the majority of whose owr: warships and revenue cut- ters lie idle at anchorage in Cuban ports, and all of which have so far dohe abso- lutely nothing to prevent the landing of filibustering expeditions upon thaislards, and helliggrency onice. establishe, market would be ‘#hened uj arms factories and American powder mills, The United States, in brief, has nothing to fear from Spain and much to win from Cuba.” FOR A HALF MILLION. David Fitzgerald Sues the Estate of His Erother John. LINCOLN, Nesg., Sept. 30.—An action for a round half-million dollars was com- menced to-day in the District Court against the estate of the late John Fitz- gerald. His brother, David Fitzgerald, is the plaintiff. The claim was entirely un- expected. David is the youngest brother of John Fitzgerald and was educated by him and has until recent years made his home with John and his family. At present David Fitzgerald is not in the city, his attorneys filing the suit. Mr. Monahan, attorney for the John Fitzgerald estate, said this evening, re- ferring to the suit: “The copartnership of.John Fitzgerald & Brother was not suc- cessful, and every contract taken by them which was under David’s management proved a financial loss; necessarily, the loss was always borne by John Fitzgerald. Plainly speaking, I believe this claim is not worthy of serious consideration.” The suit causes something of a sensation in Lincoln business circles, R Gl Australia and Japan. LONDON, Exc., Sept. 30.—Premier King- ston of South Australia has invited the various interested colonies to send ‘dele- gates to a conference, to be held at Ade- laide, to consider the relations of the colo- .nies with Japan.
