This is the | 1 court ball the the Czar | hesitated a moment, u | direct from the home Government through relatives in Japan. According to the laws of Japan, upon the outbreak of war what is termed the “first call” is sent out if deemed neces- sary by the Government. This recalls to Japan all those who have completed their service in the Japaness army within the last four years, no matter what may be their present place of abode. Before being permitted to leave the Mikado's domain all Japanese subject to recall under this law are required to give a satisfactory bond, insuring their return when the Government feels that their services may be required. In this case the bondsmen of the “first call” men were notified to produce them at once, and as a result it s probable that the Gaelic, which sails for the Orient on Wedhesday, will have on its passenger list the names of a number of Japanese en route to defend the flag of their native land. Among the local Japanese these recall notices are con- sidered as practically a declaration of war between Japan and Russia. Consul Uyeno, when seen at his resi- dence yesterday afternoon by a repre- sentative of The Call, was very reticent regarding the matter, claiming that he had no offictal intelligence which he was at liberty to make public. Of In- | formation received unofficially, he gaid: “Yes, it is true that Japanese resid- ing In this city Have been called home to take up arms. To my personal knowledge but two persons have re- | cefved this notification. This is im- material, however, because if notice was sent to one it was sent to all. Just how many there are in the State or country subject to recall I am unable | to state. The lists of names are kept | in Japan, and it would not be very! good policy to allow them to become ! public, as it would give an enemy an| opportunity to gauge our actual nght-: ing strength more accurately than we | desire. | “The lists wers not sent to me, and | will not be. What information I have| came to me casually, but I am positive that it is correct.” “Would you take this as an indica- tion that your country was about to declare war?” was asked. The representative of the | | | Mikado, | shrugged his | shoulders and gave the non-committal reply: “May be; may be not.” | When pressed to be more definite he | smiled, his eves twinkled and he re- | plied: ““Well, then, I think may be.” | Consul Uyeno was naturally enthusi- astlc regarding the fighting powers of his country, which, he considers, is only seeking justice. He has no fear that a conflict with Russia would re- | sult disastrously to Japan. —_——— Boston’s Biggest Taxpayers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—General Rafael Reyes, who is on a mission to this country from Colombia, said at the Hoffman House to-night that he had received unofficial information from Co- lombia that he had been elected Presi- dent in the election of February 2. General Reyes was asked of he would “I bave been in the United States trying to settle the differences between the United States and my country and I came here because I thought it my duty to help my country if possible. Similarly, if it is my duty to accept the Presidency of Colombia, I suppose 1 would do so.” General Reyes said he would leave on Tuesday on the Xaiser Wilhelm der Grosse to go to Paris direct. He would not tell more about his trip except that he may go from that place to Colombla. He said Dr. Herran would go to Co- lombia very soon and the Colombian Legation in Washington would be closed. The Consul General in New York City will have charge of Colom- bilan affairs here in his absence.
