Paris, Jan. 10. Japan bis in
formed Chile that farther sale of
vessels io Russia will be followed
by summary punitive measures,
i bis information comes direcs from
the foreign office, but has not jet
been published in Pairis.
According to an tfficiel-of the of
fice, J pan is greatly "irritated over
tne mailer, aca b&e even gone so
far aa to hint broadl? tbat tbe Cai
lean ccast would make a fine target
for the Japacese warrbipf-
At tne same time a similar pro
test was made to the Argentine Re
public, in spite of the fact tbat such
a threat might be considered an of
fense against the Monroe doctrine
The source of this information
leaves no doubt as to its correct
nees. ' " ' . '
Dr. Motono, the Japanese minis
ter here, sajg he baa no knowledge
ofauy such communication on tbe
part of his government. At;, the
same time he took occasion to criti
cise tbe new republics. A member
of the Japanese legation, said tbat,
if the United States should take do
measures to prevt nt any further ac
tion of this sort, it would not be
fair to invoka the Monrce doctrine
against Japan. - ..:
Speeking ucofiBciaily,; members
of government circles say tbat tbis
incident shows that Japan hes
grown so Eelf-cooipldCfcnt over its
victories that it can run the risk of

Washington, JaD. 16. A sensa
tion was caused in ibis city today
by the discoyery of what appeared
to be a definite and serious attempt
to blow rrp or deface the statue of
Frederick the Great, given to the
TJi ited States by Emperor William
of Germany and erected in tbe Ar
senal grounds, near the Army Col
lege, on the Potomac River wat-r-front,
in the Southern part of the
city. It was believed at first that
a crank had made a real effort at
dtrbtruetion ot the statue, but after
a careful investigation the police of
ficials say the material used was in-.
capable of producing damage. Ibe
evidence so far secured, the police
announced tonight, tends to show
tbat the attempted effort to injure
the etatut was amateurish to a de
gree. - It is regarded as an attempt
to work up sensation. .
' Daiectives learned treat a . negro
hackman named Aithur Catb took
the man thought to have perpetrat
ed the affur from the Pennsylvania
railroad to the etatue. Apparently
he had iust arrived in the citv.1 His
bagggge consisted of a small and
worn drers suit case. The man
told the hackman to drive slowly tq
tbe barrack grounds. ' When, the
sttue was reached, the stranger
alighted, ran up the steps leadinig
to the westerly terrace- of fheJ war
college -esplanace, arid 'di?(sppeare8j
behind tne pedeer't.! of 'tbetatuej
A miacte later he ran buck ta7 thai

measures by 'he senate, this moan
ing to prevent a recurrence of such

prefaced by a reason for such ac
tion providing that the president of

accountable for all bills and : docu
