GERMANY AND JAPAN'S INTERVENTION.

According to a cablegram from Londen in the Japan Gazette the following was Germany's idea of Japan's intervention before the actual declaration:-"Should Japan intend to take possession of Kinochan it would frighten us as little as did England's attack on Africa. This is only a new mauceuvre on the part of England, and though painful it will have little influence on the campaign. Ger- many will be obliged to refuse Japan's claim. If Germany thereby suffers any loss, she will take her satisfaction in other ways."

On the very night of the when Japan dispatched her day Ultimatum tu Germany, Mr. Lu, the Chinese Minister to Japan, sent the President a detailed report of the matter. The Chinese Chief Executive satisfied solely because of her solicitude for the permanent good of the Far Easter hations, and that it was therefore the must proper course she could pursue Accordingly, the hext day he summoned his Secretary of State and other Minis ters and diplomatie officials in the principal State Hall, and said: "Japan's action has been taken simply and solely on behalf of permanent peace in the Far East, and China recognizes and approves it. i hope you will all bear this fact in

The letter was addressed to the Editor of the China Press, and sent with a covering letter addressed to the Editor personally from Mr. Powell.fr. Powell showed the letter to passengers, and I can refer to Mr. A. R. Sutherland, of Hong kong, who will bear me out in refuting the statements made by Mr. Powell.

The portion of the letter written before arrival at Hongkong is the first three paragraphs; the remarks about Kinochin being blockaded and to the end were written in Hongkong and were shown to the Captain and passengers by Mr. Powell while the Hirano-muru was lying in Hongkong on the evening of Tuesday, the 11th. Some of the remarks are, of course, in order namely, about Kinochow being blockaded, searchlights playing in Hongkong harbour and abund- auce of stores-everything else being imaginary.”

FLIGHTS OF IMAGINATION.

We learn from a Japan contemporary that in view of the controversy which has arisen over the identity of two cruises reported to be damaged in Hongkong harbour," the Japan Advertiser publish a large picture of two warships, obviously badly damaged, which it is stated was sent to that journal accompanied by the following letter ---

"The Editor, Japin Advertiser.

DAR SI have the pleasure to enclose: a photo of the two German cruisers now tring at Hongkong which you may publish in your valued paper. I received the photo from a friend who just returned (sic) from Hongkong. The photo is not my property. 1 would, therefore, ask you to return it to

Yours faithfully

E. F. JOHNSON, Care of International Bank." The Japan Chronicle commenting seep- tically on the picture says:- Not the least peculiarly interesting thing about this picture of the battle-scarred cruisers at Hongkong is the striking resemblance it bears to the photographs of certain Russian ships which were sunk in Fort Arthur sanu ten years ago: In an album prepared by Mr. Ogawa, of Tokyo, de picting scenes in connection with the Russo-Japanese war, is a photograph of Port Arthur in which can be seen two warships of the same design as those shown in the Advertiser picture, and in just the same position. In the Diary of the Russo-Japanese War, published from our own office, is another picture of Port Arthur in which again can be seen two Russian warships in positions astonishing. ly like those of the advertiser's battle Scarred cruisers at Hongkong."

We (Bangkong Daily Press) can only say that battle-scarred cruisers have yet been seen in Hongkong, "

LONDON, August 2nd." When, in pursuance of their pre arranged plan, the Belgians were falling back on Antwerp, the Germans made a attack on their flank, but the Belgians skilfully evaded it, and took up a very strong position. The forts at Antwer are believed to be impregnable, being of the latest construction and equipment, well manned and well provisioned. The Germans may invest Antwerp, but they would have to do so in large force, and Its reduction would take them several mouths. The Belgians have blown up a bridge which is one of the main ap- proaches to Antwerp, their water-supply is secured, and they are prepared to stand a prolonged siege.
