Kline. Japan. June law—Japan is eager
for a ‘dght with Russia single handed.
The popular behind of the ministry on ac.
count at impasse .tresty revision. which
threatened mutation. has been stifled
for the present breach of Russia's uncut
movements The sentiment of “Ja
against the world” is so deeply plan in
’every Japanese breast that all internal dif-
ferences are forgotten at the first snarl
troln a’fcreisn enemy.
Russia. instead of withdrawind her
warships. is increasing her forces both on
land at Vladivostok and at sea. More-
over. her diplomatic representative in Ko-
rea seems to have got closer to the corrupt
members of the government of that coun-
try than Japan’s. . ,.
Count Inouya. Japan’s minister, has
been the adviser of the Korean throne for
months, attending all councils. Neverthe-
less Russia is said to have so influenwd
the Korean rule‘r that the king is prepared
to cede to Russia the arbor at Port Laza-
roff for the terminus of the great Siberian
railway. Russia has been planning many
years for the possession of that port. and
now that Korea id. independent she is be-
lisved to he in a position to acquire it.
, Spoiling For a right.
Here is thought to be Japan’s chance
for retaliation. Japan does not believe oth-
er European powers will ally themselves
with Russia, and Japan is spoiling for a
conflict. Even theministers want it. Such
a war would go~~"fur toward reinstating
them in public favor.
While Russia's movements are being
closely watched, and Japan is preparing
‘ for the clash which every one believes
must‘comc, this country's hands are full
in getting. possession of Formosa and
bringing her troops back from hiauchuria.
Some 2 .000 troops are now under sail for
Formosa. The whole Japanese navy is go-
lns there.
Word comes by cable that the people of
Formosa have refused to be delivered over
to Japan, have declared the island inde-
pendent and have chosen as president
Kong Kuk. who announces that he has
100,000 armed volunteers prepared to pro.
vent the landing of the Japanese troops.

ammunition are said to have hen sent
from China to Formosa.
The Japanese muster of war. Count
Yamagata, said in an interview:
"Japan has sent suillcicnt troops and
naval vessels to take the island. There may
be some sharp lighting. but the talk about
a great Formosan army is nonsense. There
will he just about the same sort of war-
fare as the United States troops had in
quelling the iodine tribes of the western
states. The savages of the interior of For-
mosa will be hard to subdue, but the Chi-
nose troops supposed to he in possession
will surrender. I believe, as those in China
always did when they faced a Japanese
army.”
The French suffered heavy losses when
they invaded Formosa several years ago.
and were forced to retreat to the coast.
But the Japanese have sent a greater and
better organized army. and there can he
no doubt of the final result.
The feeling in China. especially at Pe-
king. is sointense against Li llung Chang
that he has found it wise not to leave his
home at 'l‘ien-lsiueince his arrival there
from Japan. but has remained where he
has the protection of his own troops. In-
stead of going to Peking. he sent a petition
to the emperor to be relieved of his office
of viccroy.
Bitter Popular Feeling.
Japan's triumph over China was cale-
bratod hers inbonor of the emperor and
the ministers who are still here.
Thou the Japanese are naturally en-
thusias in. little genuine enthusiasm was
manifested. Every building was hung
with flags. because the people understood
it to be the emperor's wish. and to the
people the emperor is a deity. But even
for the eiupcror the Japanese people do not
enthuse over the results of the war.
Popular feeling is yet hitter against the
ministry. That was shown in a Japanese
nowapaper two days ago which since then
.14” has been suppressed. Under the head of
“letters from Subscribers” was a corn
0'! munication reading:
“I have committed suicide. How insane
the people of Kioto must have been to
hoist flags in honor of the termination of
the peace negotiations. As I have no de-
sire to discuss the matter, I have preferred
to die. Bo so good as to remember me to
.1, that most honorable Mr. Ito. "
Another road:
“No words can express the degree of joy
38 I feel. Thanks. my dear Mr. Ito. i cannot
1) refrain from shedding bloody tears of joy. "
There were other letters equally biting.
