It is believed that there are a large number of reserves among the 60,000 | Japanese in Hawaii, and that the war possibly will deprive the plantations of many laborers. The present trans- portation facilities to Japan will be in- adequate to carry the large number of Japanese that will go from here. VANCOUVER, B.

Ow- wi ing to the friendly feeling existing be- tween this country and its warring ncighbors across the Pacific he de- clined to discuss the situation last evening from a political standpoint, explaining that a statement from him might be regarded as indiscreet by the Washington authorities. As to the commercial interests involved the Consul General said that the United States would lose a great deal. Upon t subject he said: Russia and Japan have been buy- ing largely in the American markets and it is very likely that this trade will now be shut off, for purchases by cither of the belligerent governments would be prohibited by the authori- ties of this country We have been doing a business of about $20,000,000 with Northern China t pugh New- chwang, Chefu and other ports sit- on the same gulf as Port Ar- 1 Through Chefu alone there passes annually about $4,500,000 e h of commodities from this coun- | t destined ~ for consumption in | Northerr China..

Its capital is Izunohara, si uated near its southern end. On the west shore in 34 degrees 20 minutes north latitude is a magnificent inlet, nearly landlocked, with several minor in ch capable of sheltering whole fleets in deep water close to the shore aild communicating by a nar- row channel at high water with the ast coast. The area of the islands is about 270 square miles and the population of 31,000. From Ko point, its most southern extremity, to the main island of Japan, it is about fifty miles, and from its most northern K it is about thirty miles. gasaki it is barely distant 100 miles. Being in this position, Japan could use this island as a sort of place to center troops and then with ease jump them into Korea, only thirty miles distant, when opportunity offered. The fine harbor has'been a sort of way station in the commercial rela- tions between Japan and Korea. It is rumored that the Japanese have been quietly fortifying the splen- did harbor there and that they have practically an there now. Major C. A. Devol, quartermaster of the transport service, in speaking of the panese soldiers, said: “‘They are a very tenacious lot, quick, active, hardy and splendidly drille They cohesive and are certainly pos- sed of great mobility. They re- quire very little food and a diet of rice and dried fish is fully sufficient to met their need: They are great walkers and can easily march four miles an hour without any exertion. They may be small of stature and few in numbers compared with the great forces of the sians, but in disci- pl endurance th will certainly give the soldiers of the Czar a good tussle.” o of that kingdom, Meanwhile, as pointed out in Mr. Bishop's article on ‘War Risks,' re- cently printed in this paper: During timeg of peace & transfer of prop- erty may be made while the goods are in t, but in times of war this Is not the for this would lead to fraudulent trans- f the enemy’s property to neutrals In avoid capture. The ownership of the property is, therefore, deemed to continue as It was at the time of the shipment until actual delivery. Property shipped frorh a neu- tral to the enemy’s country, under a contract to become the property of the enemy on ar- rival, may be taken in transit as enemy's property, for capture is considered as delivery.

The goods in question consistgd of mess beef chiefly. “Japan is not a party to the Decla- ration of Paris.

A d atch from Rome saying that the Japanese Government had pur- chased the Chilean battleship Capitan Prat, the cruiser Chacabuco and the gunboat Almirante Condell was pro- nounced untrue by Baron Hayashi. The Nippon company's London agents have heard nothing of the alleged cap- ture of the steamshin Inaba Maru near Hongkong by Russian warships, re- ported by a news agency in the United States to-day. It is asserted here that Russia has no warships in the vicinity of Hongkong, and that, therefore, the Inaba Maru cannot have been captured. PR L0 JAPAN'S VICTORIOUS SHI That Participated Battle of Port Arthur. CHEFU, Feb. 9.—The Japanese fleet that defeated the Russians at Port Arthur was under the command of Vice Admiral Togo, and consisted of Vessels in ‘the Tagasago and Yoshino, which circled outside, drawing the fire of the Rus- sians. They then joined the main fleet and all went in to attack the armored cruiser. In the main fleet, which consisted of flagship: the first-class battleships Asahi, Fuji, Yashima, Shikishima and Hatsuse, and the dispatch boat Tat- suma. The second division of the fleet, under command of Admiral Kami- mura on the flagship Idzumi, con- sisted of the armored cruisers Yaku- mo, Asama and Iwate. s Ul JAPAN AT ST. LOUIS FAIR. ST.

Nearly all the Japanese tor- | pedo-boats were dispatched on their dangerous and daring attack. They rushed full steam on the enemy, who | were completely surprised. A great rattle of small arms greet- ed the invaders, who, however, es- j caped unhurt and the Retvizan, Cesar- jevitch and Pallada were almost im- mediately torpedoed. The Japanese dashed along the entire line of the Russians exposed now to a terrible fire from machine guns and small arms from both the ships and the shore. There was the utmost con- sternation among the Russians, which probably accounts for the Japanese torpedo-boats escaping practically un- scathed and rejoining the admiral butside, The admiral's fleet during the at- tack kept out of the range of the Rus- i sian searchlights. Line of battle was formed and the Japanese fleet moved WASHINGTON.. Hay has addressed an to a number of European powers ascertain if they are willing to join in a notice to Russia and Japan that during hostilities and thereafter the neutrality and integrity of China must be recognized. Details of the note are not obtain- able in advance of the receipt of re- plies. It is known, however, that ex- | changes already have taken place which justify the State Department in expecting favorable responses.to its note. The matter has created a great ensation in diplomatic circles here. It is further learned that the propo- sition of the United States contem- plates a restriction of hostilities and the consequent hardships of war to the smallest possible area. Just what this means is not made cledr to the public, but the determination may have the greatest effect upon the struggle between Russian and Japan. It is almost certain that neither will| be allowed to irvade China proper, meaning by that that they may not with hostile intent go southward be- low Shanhaikwan, on the border line between Chili and Manchuria. It is a grave question whether or not it will apply also to Korea, which is striving | desperately to preserve neutrality and prevent invasion, but the g ral opinfon is that it is too late in that se to do more than seek to preserve Korean independence after the war. No explanation is accorded as to whether Manchuria itself, already the scene of the first battle off Port Ar- thur, is, being part of China, regarded being within the scope of the prop- to osition, but here, as in the case of Ko- | rea, it is believed that the determina- tion will not be reached before the close of the war. The exchanges:referred to, as pre- liminary to the issue of the note, have been going on for several weeks in anticipation of an outbreak of hostili- ties. It was at first supposed that the intention was to do no more than to open the door in Manchuria, but it is apparent that there is a deeper pur- pose and that from the original | thought the proposition has grown in- | to one that will conserve the territorial integrity of China. It Is pointed out that some such outcome followed the Chino-Japanese war, so that, after all, the present action is within the line of precedence. It is understood in regard to restrict- | ing warlike operations to the narrow- | est possible limits that the proposition | took the form, of a note to Ru ana one to Japan suggesting some such | limitation. In addition pov were called on by the United States to fashion and it is intimat- been s themselves and Jay addr: | to Rus ed well received. n, that these suggestions have PARIS, Feb. 9.—United Statgs Em- bassador Porter called at the Foreign Office to-day and conferred with Del- the Foreign Minister.

SAN JUAN, Feb. 9.—The cruiser Dixle took coal here and sailed on rush orders to Santo Domingo this after- noon. It is reported here that the cruisers Montgcmery and Detroit, now at Culebra, have been ordered from there to Porto Plata. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Drastic mea- sures will be taken by this Government to end the anxiety in Santo Domingo. Continued violagion of international law, the destruction of American prop- erty and disregard of foreign interests have convinced officials that affairs there can best be improved by force. Its handling has been turned over to the navy, and Secretary Moody is sending to-night supplementary instructions to Rear Admiral Wise, commanding the training squadron now in Dominican waters, giving him wide latitude in the course he is to follow. Rear Admiral Wise has been told, in a-word, to pro- to deal with each case on its own mer- its. The reports received from the isl- ances.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. — At the Cabinet meeting to-day long and care- ful consideration was given to the sit« uation Geveloped by the Russo-Japan- | ese war. It is not expected that the United States Government will be drawn into the conflict, although its| progress will be watched closely and anxiously by this Government. Eanly to-day the Presidént and Secretary Hay;;as well as Secretaries Taft and Moody, were placed in possession of the news carried by the press of the naval conflict near Port Arthur. ior to the Cabinet meeting this was the only information concerning the bat- tle which had been received by the ad- wministration. Dispatches from Minis- ter Allen at Seoul, Korea, received this morning, did not mention the naval engagement. It was decided that the United States should preserve absolute neutrality be- tween the combatants, but it is scarce- ly likely that a proclamation formally announcing that decision will be made until official advices or the actual be- ginning of hostilities have been re- ceived.
