London, Juno 11. IOngland Is not
to know tho real truth about the
Hoer War. To save tho reputations
of certain well-known generals and

has therefore entirely suppressed hla
work, and order the compilation of
an entirely new history by a staff of

perhaps the only military writer who
could adequately fill Colonel Hen
derson's place. Hut tho new official

HARRIMAN WILL ESCAPE.
Wall Street Men Rely on Statute of
Limitations.
Vow Vnrlr .Time 10. The decision
of the Federal authorities not to In
stitute criminal proceedings against
E. H. Harrlman in connection with
the railroad operations was the prin
cipal subject of discussion on Wall
street. Mr. Harrlman spent the day
at his country home, and his asso
ciates would not discuss the matter
for publication.
Interests friendly to Mr. Harrlman
assert a belief that the government
will nhandon its case against the so-
called Harrlman lines. The idea that
Mr. Harrlman would be criminally
prosecuted was never very seriously
entertained In financial circles. Mr.
Harrlman's friends say that there
has been no basis for such action
and that most of the alleged illegal
acts Imputed to him are barred by
thA Ktntnte of limitations. The stock
market's response to the news was a
substantial rise in the Harrlman is
sues, with corresnondlng advances
elsewhere in the list.

PLOT OF AGITATORS
Reports ol Minister Mahashl
Confirm Rumors.
AOKI STAYED OFF HIS DEMANDS
Takahashl Has Gone to Japan to
Arouse the Public Against
United States,
Washington, June 11. Thousands
of dollars are being raised by the
Japanese of the Pacific Coast to carry
out the compact they have entered
into with the Progressive party of
Japan for the overthrow of the Sal
onjl ministry, the annulment of the
exclusion clause In the Immigration
bill and the guarantee of the natural
ization rights of the Japanese resid
ing In this country. These additional
factors in the international plot were
vouched for in semi-official circles
last night. The enormous fund
which Is being collected will be used
to arouse a feeling In the Japanese
empire antagonistic to the American
government. ,
Notwithstanding the sweeping de
nial of the existence of the alliance
between the Japanese of the Pacific
Coast and the Progressives, the antl
adminlstratlon party of Japan, given
out by Charles Takahashl, of Seattle,
the Associated Press secured the text
of certain reports which he forward
ed to M. Yamaoka in Seattle and the
Japanese Society of Seattle.
In one of the reports, which, It was
authoritatively stated, was afterward
read by M. Takahashl at a secret
mass meeting of Japanese In Seattle
on the evening of May 26, he quoted
Ambassador Aokl s statement In re
gard to the relations between the
United States and Japan growing out
of the recent disturbances In San
Francisco and the adoption by the
congress of the United States of the
Immigration law excluding coolie
labor from Continental United States.
Takahashl's report in part 13 as fol
lows:
"My object in discussing the Jap
anese Immigration limitation law
with Ambassador Aokl was:
"First The nullification of the
present Immigration limitation law.
"Second Opposing the would-be
Immigration law (proposed new
treaty) said to be contemplated by-
Japan and the United States.
"Third Acquiesence In the Jap
anese naturalization rights In the
United States."
To these discussions Ambassador
Aokl said:
"Japan has ample grounds to op
pose the immigration limitation law.
but. if we go to extremes, I rear war.
Regarding this Japanese limitation
law, the Japanese government abso
lutely disagrees with the United
States and will ask the naturaliza
tion rights for the Japanese people.
