The Japanese presa denies the rumour that Japan and England have taken a -common course and irtoad interfering in the discussion of the terms of peace. The papers say that what Japan is anxious to do is to facilitate a happy conclusion of the affair now dividing Imperialists and Revolutionists. It is surmised that at the present moment the Government of Japan has no concrete flea as to what -attitude it will take in case pence is not restored, but it is natumlyseppceed that the Government has no alternative but to set the part of a mera bystander and looker-on ut events in Chioa.
