JOSEPH rjRIBIJLEK. nd 20 rents. lias Declared an Armistice with China, IT IS WITHOUT CONDITIONS, The Action w as brought iYbout by the Attempted Assassination of Li Huuff Chanjr. Associated Fress. .Washington, March -29. The news that an unconditional armistice had teen declared by the Emperor of Jap. an was confirmed at the Japanese le gatlon, where it was stated that a ca. blegram had been received from, the home government. China made an offer of armistice, and the peace pleni potentiaries of Japan were empowered by the emperor to accept It without condition. This was done in view of the attempted assassination of Li Hunsr Chang. The armistice, Minister Kurlno, of the Japanese legation said, will be effective until peace negotia tions are concluded. After the meet- Ing of the peace ambassadors had been decided on, China requested the decla ration of an armistice, but Japan had, Minister Kurino said, not been inclin ed to Btop the warlike operations ex cept on certain condidtolns. Theso conditions ara not known, but it Is suggested that the occupation of Ta ku might b'S one, Japan wishing some, thin? as a guarantee of the willingness and earnestness of the Chinese for an amicable settlement of the war. China evidently could not arrive at a con clusion to agree to the stipulations demanded by Japan, but the attempt on the life of the Chinese peace am bassador solved the problem for the th::e belnp, and hostilities will 'be sua. pended. There will bo no Withdrawal of Japanese troops from the territory, however. The ipower of the Japanese goyern meit to execute an armlRtlce will now be put to a crucial tst.: The military power of Japan aSmoBt' outstripped the civil power during the war. This caused iserlous concern, as it has been feired that the military element, back ed by the war spirit among the people would not submit to an armistice, even If the civil authorities ordered one. To meet this emergency, a change 'ot army commanders was recently made. There have been three army corps operating In different campaigns, and each under one general of supreme authority over his particular cam paign. About three weeks aso, In an ticipation of an armiHtlce, Prince Mo. nutsu was created commander-in-chief over all armies. The object of this step was to concentrate the authority In one man, In' close touch with the imperial household, who could thus execute an armistice by simultaneous cessation of hostilities by the army. It now remains to be seen whether Prince Komatsu can execute the im. pirtant .eommiPflion riven him. It has been said that an armistice would Ibe so unpopular among the people and soldiery that ft would assure the po litical retirement of two Japanese statesmen -Count Ito and Mr. Matsu who have served as pace envoys. The full text of the' cable received at the Japanese le?atlon tidiy reyard Ins; the armistice Is as follows: "On opening of negotiations the Chi. nf.p plenipotentiary proposed an ar mistice to which Japan was willing to aept on certain conditions. While this ne-rottatlnn was polnr on, an un. toward event happened on the person of the Chinese plenipotentiary. His majesty, the emperor. In view of this unhappy occurrence, commanded the Japanese plenipotentiaries to consent to a temporary armistice without con. dltlons. This was communicated to the Chinese rtenlpotentlary. THEY HOLD OVER. I The Various State Commissioners Will Not Be Removed. . . ' Salem, March 29.-Attorney General!

There are indications- that Mr. Willis, United States minUter to Hawaii, Is prepar ing to take a leave of absence from his poet. One story is that he will go to Japan for a. time, and anothet is that he will return to the United States. Tha state department officials will not say anything about the matter but content themselves with pointing to the fact that the minister has been at Ills post tor more than a year, and according to the usual practice of the department, is entitled to a leave ot absence.
