(Continued on pnge 2.) Bought All the Maps There Were in Manila TAKE ISLANDS AT PLEASURE lU'brls Preparing for Renewed Activ ity in Mexico Senator Elk! ns' Friends Much Alarmed Over His Condition. (Special to Evening News.) WASHINTON, Jan. 2. It Is as serted here that naval and military authorities in the Philippines knew last September that Japanese spies were active In the Islands. This statement was made today by Assis tant Attorney General Villamor of the Philippine government, who says that last September two Jap spies were arrested, having In their pos session maps of the islands, showing the fortifications and Manila Har bor. Washington was cognizant of the arrests, but owing to the fact that there was no law covering the situation, the spies were released. There is no doubt but what the Japs are familiar with the details of the fortifications. Several months ago nearly every map of the islands in the stationery stores of Manila were sold to Japanese within a week. More than this It is alleged that a Japanese official recently remarked that Japan could take the Philip pines whenever they wished. HftACHUCA. Jan. 2.
