YOKOHAMA , March 2 . -Tho emperor of
Japan has declarcll an unconlltonal armis-
Ice.
WAShINGTON , March 2 . -Tho news that
an unconditional arllstca had been declared
by the emperor at Japan was connrmed ! at
the Japanese legalon , where I was stated
that a cablegram to this effect had been receIved -
dyed from the home government.
China made the offer of the armIstIce and
the peace plenipotentiary of Japan : was cm-
powered by the emperor to accept I wlhout (
, ondltlon. This was done In view of the
lunexpected event" that happened , vlz : The
atempted assassination at LI lung Chnng.
The armlstIcs . Minister Kurlno of the Jnpan-
ese legnton saId , will . be effectIve untIl the !
peace negotIations arc concluded. After a
meetng at the pence ambassadors had been
decldell on China requested the declaration
of nn armistice , but this request had not
been acted upon favorably by Japan. Ils
government , Minister Iurlno said , hall not
. been Inclined to stop warlike operations except -
cept on certain conditions. These conlltons I
are not knowmi , but It Is suggested that probably -
ably tim occupation at Taku might have been t
one , Japan wishing something as a guarantee I
ot th willingness and earnestness ot the i
Chinese for an amicable settlement of the I
war. China evidently could not arrive at a L
conclusion to agree to the stipulation demanded -
manded by Japan , and the attempt on the m
Ire of the Chinese peace ambassador solved I
the problem for the time beIng and hostiiies
wIll be suspended There wilt be no wIth
drawal at the Japanese troops from Chinese
territory , however.
ARMY MAY NOT ACQ1JIESC.
The power of the Japanese govrnnient to
execute the armistice will now b PUt I to a m
critical test. The mltary power ot Japan , :
In the Judgment of intelligent observers , has
almost outstripped the civIl hewer during the
war. This has caused serious concern , as I I
has been tearo that the military element ,
backed by the war spirit among the people ,
would not submit to an armistice , even I i
the cIvi authorities ordered one , To meet
this eniergency a change at army commanders -
manders was recently made. There has been
three army corps , operatng In different cam
paigns , and Each under a general at supreme
authority over his particular campaign
About three weeks ago , In anticipation oC the
armistice , Prlnco Komatsu was created corn
mander-In-chief over all the armies. Thl
purpose or this step was to concentrate aim
the ly In one man In c0 0 touch with the
Imperial household , who could thus execute
an armistice by a sImnultneous cessation of
hostilities by the nrmy. I now remains to
be seen whether Prince lomatsu can execute -
cute the Important commission given ) iin I.
The splendId discipline shown by the army
durIng the war give assurance that there
will b Immediate acquiescence by the ml I- ,
mi-
itary. And yet Prince Komatsu has to contend I-
i
tend agaInst a war spirit . inflamed by many
victories. I has been said that an armistic e
nrmlstce I
would be so unpopular along the people and
soldiery hat It would assure the poltcal re- !

WELCOME NEWS TO TiE Cl ESE.
Th& declaration ot nn armistice was most
wllcome news to the ChInese legation , although -
though I was accepted with the stolidity , lnd'
passive dignity which Is characteristic at ti l' ,
race. The first word of the armistice rcachld
the legation through the Assoclatcd Ilres .
Mr. Yang Yu had received no ofclal com mme
municaton tram China nor from the Stute
department. Under these clrcumstanccs he
asked to be excused tram discussing the oltu-
imilon. The numerous suite at the legatun
was evidently glad that the tedious awl dl Is-
, couraglng struggle was at In end. ' 'here
. was some doubt as to the IIulng at the
term "unconditional" armistice , although
, this was accepted as a meaning that recent "
events , Including probably the shooting or
Prlco LI , had Induce the enyoYI to agree
to an armistice before agreeing exactly cn
exacty
time terms at peace I II tel that the / .rC
rangement ot these terms will still be dl
wi stl a dif- :
cult task. The feeling In the InterIor or
, China , where the direct effects at the war
have not bean felt Is
beel tel , very strong against n
cession at territory. Moreover , the paymc
pa'melt
or 1 cash Indemnity wi necessitate the Im- I :
position of heavy taxes on limo people all
consequent depression. These conlhleratons , ,
together with the recent losses anrl ravages
of war , make the commercial revIval ot China
80 problematic that the officials would not
discuss It tonight , beyond mentioning the I
difculies In the way of a restoration at
commerce and Intelnll prosperity

by ordinary dIplomatic methods There Is

declared , does not Intend to carry this I

OTTAWA , Ont. , March 29.-Although full I
par ticulars oC the acton taken by the government -
ernment at the Dominion regarding the Man
Ioba school question have been before the I
pub lic for some days , It Is now only learned i
that this action Is being fully umitlerstood
The Dominion government has done two
thing-It has ordered the provincIal nulhorl-
ties to re.establsh the separate schools abolIshed -
Ished In )89 : ; and failing complanco by the
province the Dominion has state In so mnny
words that a federal act will be passed tor
the purpose oC attaining this. Amid It Is at t
this poInt that. the danger of the slunton ap-
pea rs. The provinces hl\e always been jeal- j
emma ot their rIghts at sel'government , and
an attempt to encroach on these rights by
the passage or a federal law to nccomplsh n m
provincIal object will evoke a vigorous , pro
test In every member ot the contelernton
omut side ot Quebec
This outcry wi be especially vIgorous In
Manitoba and Ontario , because a federal la\v
once passed for the purpose at re-establshlng
sep arate schools cannot be repealed by any :
power short ot that ot the Imperlnl Parla-
ment In England. Not only this , It the ncr
arate schools are re-established by fedora
leg islation In Manitoba , a precedent will bo ci I-
tablshed which will admIt ot the Dominion :
Interterlng to prevent the Ontario legislature
fro nt divesting the'sepamto schools ot the
provInce ot privileges conferred by the later
bed y. His because of the Car-reacblng consc-
quences Involve that there Is such hostly 3
to the Idea oC only entering the wedge at
fed eral Interterence. I Is probable that re-
est ablishing separate schools will be done by
a tederal enactment , relieving Roman Catholc
tax payers In Manitoba tram local taxaton
for public schools , and giving Roman t
Catholc school boards power to levy rates
on their own people for the maintenance ot
their own schools. Further than this It Is I
lik ely that the Dominion goverment wi retain -
tain a portion of the subsidy payable by the
Dominion to the province under the terms ot
union and apply this ns I supplement to the
tunds raised by local taxation for separate
school purposes. Unless the present DominIon -
Ion government Is defeated before remedial
leg islation Is passed and another party Is
placed In power that will respect provincial
rights there will be an upheaval that wl
strain the bonds at confederation.
WINNIPEG , Man. , March 29-No amendment -

proposed action was expressly torbldden In I
the treaty. The Yanktons themselves arc
determlnrd to prevent the proposed action m
nnrl hn\e signed a vigorous protest to the I
president. This has ben put In the handset I
ot W. T. Selwyn , son ot the helll chlet , who
wi personaly take It to President Cle\land.
General J. A. SUllh , snperlntendent ot the

department nt Washington this moring that
he was Unable to cope with the squaters
already on the reservation with his animal I
force ot IndIan police , the squatters retuslng
to leave the reservationm. Assistance wil I
wi
be necessary to enrorce his orders that squatters -
orters
tern must leave the reservation.
General Smith Eays troops can be brought
here In twenty-tour hours from Omaha by :
rail , anti that Is ' the nearest available point
where troops are stationed . He says he can
do nothing with the squatters ' now. as he
has only fifteen or twenty Indian police , and
Is utterly powerless. The siuaton will be
much worse when the crowds Increase. I Is I
believed here that the Indian police have no
authority to eject the boomer anyway
There Is a small but steady stream of boomers

have been ordered oft , but that the order
could not be enforced. Later be sent the
followIng disptch :
TIme state or South Dakota has taken steps
to appropriate a large part of this land tor
school purposes In violation ot time agree : -
mont between the agre- .
government and the In I-
dlans. The Indians protest against this ac i -
ton and I concur. "
No acton has yet been taken on either of
these dispatches. Secretary Smith said tonight I-
night that law and order must be enforce
at the reservatIon at alt hazards , and that
all assIstance found necessary for time pro-
teton of the agency and the Indians prcti
be given by the department. The and which
the state Is seeking to appropriate to its own
use Is j the most desirable on the reservaton ni
and the department will take prompt steps
to secure the defeat ot the state's plan. The
