The New Japanese Cruisers;

LONDON, 5th January. The legal formalities connected with the transfer of the Argentine cruisers are com-, pleted. The Japanese Legation said yester- day that the work on, the continues clay and night and when they sail, they will be ready for action. As it is impossible, on account of time, to get crews from Japan, the cruisers will probably sail under the com- mand of several Japanese naval officers, now in Europe, with Eurpean crews. The Japanese Naval Attaché, who is arranging the matter, suggests preference being given to men volunteering from Great Britain.

Russia and Japan.... According to information from official sources in St. Petersburg, the Russian reply is most conciliatory; some of the Japanese proposals are accepted and others are made the subject of extended observations (sic) and met by counter proposals. It is hoped in official circles that the considerable con-

Berlin, 25th December. According to a telegram from the Russian Commercial Telegraph Bureau, Japan's reply to the Russian Note has arrived in St. l'elers burg. It is generally believed that the pend. ing negotiations will not be interrupted, both sides observing a peaceful attitude.

The Cologne Gatelle reports that the Grand-duke Alexander Michailoitch, together with other distinguished persons, are exercising their influence to prevent any outbreak of war, or at least to postpone the conflict by transferring the negotiations from Tokio to St. Petersburg. From London the Frankfort Gazette learns that Russia is meeting Japan in regard to Corea, only to gain time to properly prepare for wat. Japan demands territorial concessions in Corences safeguards 'against 'any seizures by Russia in the future. The Government in Berlin does not share the pessimistic views of the Anglo-French press.

THE ARRESTI OF A CAPTAIN AT. MOJI.

FURTHER REMARKABLE ALLEGATIONS.

With regard to the arrest of Captain Warneke of the Hidine Rickmers, at Moji, we (Kobe ] Chronicle) have received a statement from a reliable source that adds some further par;

ticulars to a remarkable case.

According to the information reaching 'us, while the German steamer Hélène. Rickmers

• was at Moji at the beginning of this month, a dispute amse between the captain and his Chinese crew about their wages. The Chinese attempted to desert, and assaulted two German | sailors on watch who were ordered to prevent their escape: They attacked the sailds with buckets and pinnikins, but were. overpowered and locked up in the forecastle by order of the captain, who, it is claimed, was fully entitled to take this measure according to German and Japanese law. The following morning the Chinese crew quietly resumed their work, with the exception of the ringleaders, who had received triting wounds during the assault on the previous day.

The wounded Chinese went on shore and made a complaint, and the Japanese police, whose as istance the captain had called a few days before, came again on board on the 19th ult. and arrested the captain and the first and second officers. The officers were allowed to return or heard the same evening, but the captain was kept in custody in the prison of the police station for about thiny six hours, During the first twenty-seven houts it is al- leged that he was left without food or drink, and the meals forwarded to him hom his

steamer did not reach him. He was kept alone in a small rooms not remarkable for cleanliness, with only a few dirty blankes for the night. As it was bitterly cold at night the captain was obliged to walk up and down during the whole night to keep himself warm.

In the first round it, was evident that Turner was considerably over. matched, boils in skill and weight, by his op. ponent, and he had not been in the ring a minute before he was downed by a neat upper cut from his opponent.

LAYTON 1. BUTLER.

The next contest was a fifteen-round- bost

between Layton, of the Albion, (bantam-weight) and Butler of the Foresters, (ight-weight champion of North China). Hoth men went at it hanner-and-longs from the outset and a good deal of hard stugging was inciulged in on both sides. Butler, who made small use of his right and kept on plugging away at his oppment's heart with his left, received a lot of punishment. However, he seemed to like it and came up sailing each time, which some what disconcerted Layton, who, though un- doubtedly the better man, began to show evident signs of fatigue towards the end. Both men were on their legs at the end of the fificenth round, though Butler was visibly grogay, but still full of pluck. The contest was awarded to Layton on points. The winner is to come in the ring again on the gth insi, and judging from his conduct yesterday

he is likely to provide an excellent exhibition,

CHRISTIE 7. ST. CLAIR.

· The main event of the evening was a co- test between Charles St. Clair, Champion of Brooklyn, and J. Christie, a local amateur, whom the professional undertook to stop in eight rounds. Both men looked very fit when they came into the ring. Christie's weight being 11st 4 and St. Clair's 13 stone Mr. Sam Newman acted as Referee, and Mr. W. Waters, as M. C. Both men were cheered as they came into the ring, though the enthusiastic reception given to the local man showed that the majority of sympathy was with him.

First Round: St. Clair feinted and led get ting in a heavy right on the head. Christie rushed in and landed a left on the jaw and a righton body. The men closed, St. Clair being on the ropes in the clinch. On breaking away the American attacked swiftly and Christie was driven to the copes in his turn, but got out by dodging cleverly, under his opponent's arm Some sparring now took place and St. Clair rushed in and landed his left on the amateur's kidneys, and his right on the chest. Christie resumed the compliment, and for a few seconds was a ding-dong give and take. The local man was driven to the, ropes, but ducked cleverly and"; ot back to the middle. Some quick sparring was going on when the gong

went,

Second Round: St. Clair opened vigorously and drove Christie to the ropes. He took some punishment, the Yankee fetching his law with

The match was an interesting one and, from all appearances, St. Clair seemed to be the bel ter man though it was impossible to judge, what Christic might be capable of in a regular mill, for it was his game to lay low and fight for time, which he did very cleverly. Both men proved themselves to be fast and expert boxers with plenty of grit and staying power.

At the close, J. J. Ryan challenged St. Clair to a contest for $1,000 a side. It was rumoured that this is to come off on the first Saturday in February, though the conditions were not 'mentioned.

The Commander-in-Chief of the U. S. China squadron, Rear-Admiral Vates Stirling, who arrived on the 5th inst, in the cruiser Rainbow from Cavite, came on shore this morning to pay the customary official visits. At 10.45 am, the Admiral's gig, towed by a scam-pinnace from the Rainbow, came alongside Blake Pier. A guard of honour, consisting of a company of the Sherwood Foresters, with the Band and colours, carried by Second-Lieut. Milward, under command of Lieut. Hodgson was in attendance, and Mt. R. M.

NORTHERN NOTES.

MEETINGS OF THE CABINET AND PRIVY COUNCIL.

CONFERENCE WITH MILITARY OFFICIALS. We take the following from the Kobe Chronicle of the 20th ult.-

that pride in American citizenship and that loyalty to the American flag which invariably follows commercial identity but which will never exist without it. The alternative of that in the case of the Philippines is that the Filipinos shall be allen dependents, open to our exploitation whenever we determine to exploit them, and certain to be exploited whenever the American people cease to be watchful and determined protectors of their wards. The people of Porto Rico are com mercially one with us and we no more have a Porto Rico question than a Dakota question. The people of Hawaii are commercially one with us, and no United States troops arec required to maintain order. The Filipinos, en the contrary, are commercial aliens, held by in subjection but having no privileges in our markets, and we maintain there an army at the cost of perhaps $60,000,000 or $70,- oppo a year. The admission of their products to our markets would assure content by assur ing prosperity, and we could keep our soldiers

An impression is beginning to gain ground that Japan is not pressing the demands origin- ally made regarding Manchuria, but is con- centrating her whole attention on protecting heinterests in Korea. If this be the case, it is by no means unlikely that at the last moment Russia may be inclined to make con- cessions. The Russian Government still delays making the final reply which Japan has demanded. Meanwhile, there is no cessation in Japan's preparations for emergencies. Another Cabinet Council was held yesterday which was attended by all the Ministers with the exception of the Ministers for Edu- cation and Justice. A special meeting of the Privy Council was also held, which is reported to have considered the special subsidy to the Seoul-Fusan Railway and the war preparations, and to calmly acquiesce in pro eedings which Most of the Ministers attended the meeting of in omie innocent days it would regard with he Council, and Colonel Usagawa, Director of horror.
