JAPAN HEADY FOK WAP-
UiNDON. March 23. In the absence
f the Japanese minister In London,
liaron Hayashl, Mr. Matsu. first sc
retary of the Japani-se legation, who
was Interviewed this afternoon by a
repr-nenUtive of the Associated Press,
made a comprehensive statement of the
Issuesi Involvea in Manchuria. He
said:
"Punsia's Insistence, China's helpless
ness and the probable vktory of Rus
sian diplomacy tomorrow will bring us
to the brink of a dangerous situation
In .vhlch none of the powers Is so
deeply concerned as Japin. Even If the
secret treaties have been modified, as is
allt-geO. the changes are so trilling as to
make th documents thoroughly objec
tbnable to Japan. Assuming that Chi
na signed the treaties, I suppose Great
PrltaJn. Germany and the UnUed States
wil protest to Kussia, but that is about
a far as they will go and about as
much as they could get.
"With Japan, it is a matter of fight
ng. The question is whether we are
to tight uuhwIu now or to u!?ht h-r
later on. She has no right to Manchu
ria and If she secures Manchuria she
will be on the way to securing Corea.
Our government, I believe, U serious
ly considering the crisis. Their eyes
nr wide oiwn and thev will not be
driven to precipitate action by the Jin-
golsts of Japan, who are openly clam
orlng for Immedia te war. Yet if they
se- that war is unavoidable they will
nm hesitate to strike."
TREATY WILL BE SIGNED.
WASHINGTON. March 23. Informa
tion reaching diplomatic quarters here
Is to the effect that the objections to
the Chlno-Russian agreement on Man
ohuria have not been of sur-h a decisive
character as to prevent the signing of
the document and it is expected it will
be executed today or tomorrow, unless
Russia voluntarily withdraws the
agreement. Moreover, in case the doc
ument is signed there is no idea that
serious results- will follow in the way
of an onon breach between the pow
ers. The warlike tone of the reports from
Jipan is not taker, to refer so much to
Manchuria as to Corea, and Japan s
present purpose is understood to be to
prevent the Manchurian agreement
from becoming a Russian stepping
stone to Coroa.
MODIFICATIONS AGREED ON.
LONDON, March 23.-A dispatch from
Pekin avei-s that the Russian govern
ment has consented to a number of
modifications in the Manchurian con
vent! -n, the principal ones being:
Klttchow and Port Arthur snail noi
l-e annexed but shall be leased from
the Chinese government as heretofore
itussia wil not Insist upon there being
a Russian resident at AiouKaen: me
i-hlnesp armv will be termltted to
maintain order In Manchuria prior te
tho completion of the Manchurian rail
way which, while In course of construc
tion, will not necessarily require the
motectioi. 3t Russian troops; Russia
will forigo her demand that mining
and railway concessions in Mongolia,
Turkestan and Kashgaria shall b-
granted to none but Russian subjects
Russia stipulates, however, that n-ne
but Chinese and Russians shall be a!
lowed ta undertake such enterxrises.
In consequence of these concessions
ihu Rnwilan eove-rnment asks for an
early signature of the convention.
CONDITIONS AT PEKIN.
PEKIN. March 21. The foreign mln

to the best method of pollclrg the lega

PLATT AMENDMENT VAGUE.
Relations Committee of Cuban Conven

NEW YORK. March 23. A dispatch

Th? intervention clause was likewise
indetinit?, the committee will further
say. If :he convention should accept
this clause the United States govern

even if a stable government existed. It
was not satisfactory because the Unit

XF.VV YORK, March 23. A dtnpatcli
to the Herald from Rio Janeiro aaya:
Great exi.-itement prevails here over
the arrest of Admiral CutodW, Joee
Miilio and others on account of the
oi!cov ry of a monarchist plot torouRt
tne suicide of Baron de Burgai. ex
traordinary precautions are being taken

It an the purpose of those concern

TOGETHER IN DEATH.
Rro.her and .?ist;r Who Had Not Met
for Tea Years Died In Same
Hospital.
CHICAGO. March 23. Without either
knowing of the ether's illneas, Mrs.
Maiy Williams and John Reynolds,
brother and gist jr. who had been sepa
rated for ten years, died in the Dun
ning hospital for consumptives within
an hour of each other. The oflklals
did not knew of the relationship until
the undertaker called to remove th,
bodies.
Ten years ago John Rt-ynolds went to '
Denver and the far West to make hi
fortune. After several months letters
from him ceas?d to come and Mrs. Wil
liams thought he had died and left
no identification whereby his relatives
could be traced. As the years rolled
ov with no word from him she w
more sure than ever that he was dead.
In the meantime consumption had
taki hold of Mrs. Williams, who km
now a widw, and her daughter had
her removed to the hospital for con-
sutriDlivcs. Thr?e weeks ago John Key.
tiolds returned to Chicago dying wtUx
consumption. Then his sister was too
weak to be told of his return and last
vu ho was taken to Dunning ana
placed in the ward directly oppo.slta
where his sister lay. He had not ree
told of her illnejs and supposed ah
was out of town.
Th3 physI-Mins In charge saw inero
was no hope In either case and so no
ticed friends of both. At noon Reynold
breathed his last and his sister's de
mise was chmicled an hour later. ..
