of the present retrenchment policy,

an evidence of her peaceful inten

an indication that Japan is already

the mmtarybservera attached to

Tha depleted condition of th Japan
ese exchequer, It la believed here, alone
prevented war at the time of the San
. Francisco school trouble, and so grave
was the situation at that time that the
monitors Monterey and Monadnock were
placed In condition by Captain Davis, in
- command Of the naval stations at Ca
vlts and Olongapo, and 10 months' sup
plies were stored In the latter station,
where the floating drydock Dewey Is
stationed.

No natives except those ; employed In

; ' officers . of the Philippine squadron
' which recently returned from a visit to
i Japanese waters report many incidents
wlilcn occurrea as snowing tne deep,
underlying suspicion and hatred of the
Japanese of all classes toward Amer

Alleged Insult v
While- a squadron was proceeding
: through the Inland, sea a signal was dis
played from one of the Japanese forts
inquiring what ships they were. When
. the answer was signaled back that it
was the American squadron en route to
Yokohama signals were exchanged be-1
tween several of the forts, and when i
the squadron had proceeded but a few
cable lenghts a signal was run up. on ,
the largest tort: "stop wnere you are."
The squadron hove to and after a few
moments' .wait the. same fort signaled:
"We wish to remind you that you are
within SO miles of - the fortlacation.
Keep outside that distance: Proceed."
During the entire stay of the squad
ron in Japanese waters It was never
free for a moment from the surveillance
of Japanese naval officers, who followed
it by day. and nlfrht on torpedo boats.
At Yokohama the report gained cir
culation that the Atlantic fleet would
not visit that port, and the officers of j
the Philippine squadron were compelled
to submit to Jibe from all classes, the 1
favorite remark being: "Why youri
-flpet nn uma. Tell thnm wa tm hurt
pretty ships."
Watch Torpedo Practice.
The thoroughness of the system of
the espionage maintained on Americans
wvm kuu uijuo puuiiius ill jrilBSlssippi
bay, near Yokohama, was abandoned
suddenly when Naval Attache Dough
erty accepted an Invitation to a week
end party at a house from which the
practice could be watched with a glass.
i,Tnnr,'i with all mail of American
eitisens of the empire Is one of the most
i.,iiik;iiig lemure of this espionage. An
American secret agent, known to your
correspondent for many years, gave the
following- account of his observations:
"Japan is as systematically preparing
for war with the United States as she
did In the years Immediately preceding
the war with Russia in preparation for
that conflict. Every officer In the
Philippines knows It, and the army and
navy departments know It. These is
lands have been overrun with Japanese
military observers during the past year
and several of them have been deport
ed. As soon as the present retrench
ment policy which does not affect In
any degree Japanese military prepara
tions, for the appropriations for these
purposes have already been provided for
covering a number of years refills the

On Country Apathetic
"The Americans out her 'who know
mat a conn lot Is certain, feel almost
Inoensed at the apathetic attitude of wur
countrymen In the states. America will
awaken some morning to find that It is
too late to prepare for the struggle
wnioa is coming- ana will be forced
submit to the . bitterest humiliation In
our national history."
This statement epitomises the sent!
ment of every American here on the
firing line, and. the same sentiment has
taken hold among; the officers of the
battleship fleet
The new word of farewell to those
officers who are to be detached here la,
"Well, old man, we will come over and
get you out of the Japanese jug."
Though spoken In jest, there Is not
an officer who does not feel that the
entire naval and military force In the
Philippines will some day go down be
fore an overpowering force of Japan
ese unless a peace-compelling naval
force is kept within striking distance of
the Islands.
NO FRICTION EXISTS
SAYS HIGH OFFICIAL
(Uolttd press Leased Wire.)
Washington. Nov. 17. "There never
has been the slightest friction between
Japan and the United States," declared
a high authority In the state depart
ment today, when asked about rumors
that there has been an exchange of dl-
ilomatlo notes during the past few days
or the purpose oi smoothing over al
leged friction between the two nations.
He stated that when the San Fran
cisco school disDUte' arose the relations
or tne two governments were Harmoni
ous, although feeling among the people
of both nations ran high. Since then.
he said, both governments had been co
operating to remove tne impression
that enmity existed between the United
States ana japan.
The official pointed to the school
agreement in San Francisco, the satis
factory mutual recognition or Immigra
tion laws and other arbitrations as en
couraging to the feeling of friendship
Detween tne two nations.
"The relations existing between Japan
ana tne united states are now most
friendly," said the official, "and the
negotiations progressing are for the
maintenance of friendship. I can as
sure you that there Is nothing Involved
In the pending negotiations that la not
already written down in black and
white) that nothing la not on$n to- stu
dents of the papers, regarding thi rela
tions between Japan and the United
States, we have not been negotlatln
for a treaty but for the exchange
diplomatic notes. That's all."
