left the japanese government full liberty of action in this connection as the boklo cabinet expressed its readiness to act in full agreement with the other powers it is in consequence of this no doubt that japan is preparing to embark more troops political considerations that were thought to have been influencing the action of the powers are thus laid aside tor a moment at least by the governments supposed to have the clearest purpose respecting cainas chinas future japans sending of troops can have little bearing on the fate of the foreigners at peking baron hayashi the new japanese minister who arrived in london on friday said that ten days would probably be required for the carrying of troops to china his dictated statements contained these sentences if all the conditions japan has asked were conceded I 1 see no reason why japan should not undertake the task of suppressing the trouble the powers are all agreed in wishing to put down the rebellion but it does not seem that they

gathered by correspondents at shanghai from chinese sources especially of the slaughter in the chinese and tartar city of thousands of native christians so that the capital reeks with carnage the ruthless thirst for blood Is spreading in all the northern provinces and wherever there are native christians the scenes enacted in the capital are reproduced in miniature from these provinces nothing

independence of the european concert or coalition Is fully justified it continental reports respecting the dissensions ot the powers are accurate mr broderick has admitted that japan was strongly urged by great britain to intervene with a largo force and while he denies that any power has offered objections he asserts abal negotiations over the mailer are still in progress there are persistent rumors on the continent conEIn ent that japan will be allowed a tree hand in time to secure the security of abe legations and that complications have already arisen these reports are probably premature the powers will hold together until definite assurances are received that the legations have been destroyed differences ot opinion are then likely to separate the european powers into at least two groups and the occupation of the capital will be preceded by a secret agreement respecting the ultimate partition of the empire the american government stands in a different position from russia germany england and france which have been forcing china to cede harbors and territory to them and thereby causing the outbreak of a widespread anti for eign movement it Is not responsible for the existing agitation against foreigners and has no part in the coall llon which must inevitably divide the empire among the european powers and japan |
