The following cable was receiver! here today by the North American Times, a Japanese publica tion: ' i "Toklo The downfall of the present ministry seems Imminent. It is feared that there will be a repetition of the public disturbances which occurred last year, on account of the feeling which has been aroused over the naval graft scandals. The expressions of tne pub lic have become' so bitter that evsn Ir.uksi. leader of the Kokumln party, one of those opposed to the i?Hresent ministry, could not longer keep silent. end he yesterday openly attacked the government. The three parties opposed to the present ministry, the Kokumln, the Doshikai and the Chiuseikal, united against the Seivukal party - vesterdav j end decided to introduce a resolution declaring the disability of the present ministry. . , "The Selyukai party will oppose the resolution on the ground that the work of the investigating committee has not Deen completed. The resolution may be rejected, but in any event there will be a great public demonstration at Hiblya park and about the parliament ary buildings today. "At a meeting of the Constitution Protection league yesterday at Seiyo ken, Inukal and Oksal made speeches which were enthusiastically received. Dr. Mltake and Toyaam also spoke at the Y. M. C.

Partly disabled by his in jury, the gunman was: taken a moment later. He put up a fierce fight even then, In which he was badly beaten. Suddenly somebody in the crowd shouted "Lynch him."

While Qhief Engineer D. C. Kingman pleads tftat he is prohibited by statute from mak ing public Colonel McKJnstry'a report on the desirability of appropriating 51,500,000 for a dredge at the Columbia river bar, Jhe substance of the report Is as follows: Colonel McKinstry makes a quali fied recommendation of an appropria tion of $1,500,000 for a dredge on the ground that if the Jetty were not near enough completed in two years to have the effect of deepening the channel without the use of such a dredge, the dredge would be "necessary to main tain a proper and uniform depth at the mouth of the river. Many things may nappen to pre vent completion - of tho north (jetty within two years' and It is because of that that Colonel McKinstry favors the appropriation. He thinks that if the government could feel assured the jetty could be completed In two years the Chinook with its Increased capac ity might be sufficient to do the work required. Senator Chamberlain will endeavor to have the committee meet when Mr. TcaJ and A. H. Averill come on from Portland, so that they may be heard as well as representatives of the chief engineers. Colonel McKinstry's repprt is be lieved to have the greatest signifi cance and may be made the basis of recommendation that tho bill pass first by the chief of engineers, and then by the committee on commerce of he senate, to which the bill intro duced November 13 by Senator Lane waa referred. , Colonel McKinetry was a member of fliA WtnrfT n f t tit) nvri 1 amftnoAM Yv.n reported favorably on dredging on the Onfininf flf Thrtrni l.orhf? rft Will f!nhimhta river hir wlien oiomlnotlnn " O w" " w wO' rw" " was made 11 years ago.

The Mexican embassy" and the rebel junta here an nounced slmultanequsly today that the decisive struggle between President Huerta and the constitutionalists was at hand. Huerta probably would take the field In person within 10 days, it was stated by the embassy. He would assume the vigorously aggressive at once, and there was no question that he would stamp out the rebellion In short order, according to this account. Th capture of Mazatlan. reports of jKlrich the rcbej junta accepted as fact, fe. was ; declared at constitutionalist headquarters, would speedily be fol lowed by the fall of Torreon and Tam pico. and Inside of 30 days the rebels would be 1n control at Mexico City.
