" " SAN"FKANCISCO , April 26 1 a. m. Information just received ' from Jap an makes" It probable .that tha long- smouldering discontent between Jap anese and Chinese statesmen m y ere long burst forth in a flimo of war. When the controversy between the governments with respect to the own ership and occupation of Lew Kew island arose sometime ago , tlio Jap anese were very firm , and insisted on what they claim ts their rights. They were at that moment in the belief that China was on the eve of war with Ruuh , and they thought they would not cjra to bo embroiled in two wars at the same "lima. The Chinese an- thoilties mido fair promises , and ix postponement of the quarrel was ef- feclei until n few weeks ago , -when .thoJapiEesa c mmlssioner -Pekin begin agvn to urge the claims of their government. , By'ihVtime alllmme- diate d ugor of , war with Russia was passed. China his at present her army .m an - excepttoarliy good condition , and her navy , which is far stronger than ever , Is ready for immediate and effective action. When the Japanese commissioner pressed their claims re cently nt Pekin they were answered in a very different' tone from tha which the Mandarins had previously used , aud were in effect told that the Chiut8.J did not.caro to ba longer an noyed by th.rn They reported the icsult to their own governtnaut , and a Japanosa mvi of war has been sent to bring them home. Ic is now said in Yokshima that the government of the M'kido will submit no longer to thj insolence of the Chinese Manda rins and th it eels uf war may soon be expected to occur.
