Canse of the China-Japanese War. WASHINGTON, November 20.-The Japanese Government bas anticipated the recent offer of China td foreign Powers to furbish the complete official correspondence ?eadbg np to the pre? sent war and has itself niue public the correspoadetice. It is published io foll as a ptart of ?he recent pree?e?tag? ol the Japanese Diet, which have been received by the Japanese legation here. The gist of the controversy ha? already been made known to the public, bot the official letters between China and Japan give the first accoun t of the sharp diplomatic fencing between the coon tries np to a few days before the war. The letters ran fron? Jane 7 to Jaly 14 and are numbered from 1 to 9. No. 1 is from Wang. Chinese minis? ter tb Japan. It informs Japan that a telegram has just been received from Li . Hung Chang stating that the Corean Government bas requested China to send troops to suppress a r?? bellion of the Tong H aka. Viceroy Li. it says, considers the rebellion serious and therefore complies with the request for troops to protect ''Our tributary State,'' first notifying Japan in accor? dance with a treaty provision that each t shall inform the other before entering Corea. No. 2 is from Matsu, minister of foreign affairs of Ja pao. it very point? edly states : "lu repty I beg to declare that although the words "tributary State' appear ia your note the Japanese Government have never recognized Corea a* a tributary State of China." No. 3 is a notice from the Japanese Government tb at it io tends sending troops to Corea to suppress the rebel? lion: Io No 4 China "shows her teeth" for the firs* rime. It"?i a letter from Tsong Li Tames, the Chinese Cabinet, ' to the Japanese minister at Pekin The' letter expresses surprise -that Japan should send troops to Corea wheo it bas not been so requested by Corea It ?H. tte Mowfng rignifi?nt Lngn.ge: 4'The sole object of your country io sending troops is evidently to protect the legation consol?tes aed eommer eial people in Corea, aod consequent ly it may oct be necessary on the part of your country to despatch a great num? ber of troops and, besides, ?ano appl-i cation therefor hos been made by Corea, it is requested that oo troops shall pro? ceed to the interior of Corea so that they may not canse alarm to her pot? pie. And moreover, since it is feared that in the event lae soldi ev? Of the Uro nations should meet oo the way cases of unexpected accident might occur, owing to the difference of language and military etiqoett, we beg to request . in addition that you will be good enough to telegraph the purport of this communication to the Government of Japan." No 5 is Japan's answer to Tsung Li Y ame rn, in which Japan shows her teeth. It says : "As to the number of troops to be sent to Corea the Japanese Government are compelled to exercise their own jodgmeot. Although no restriction is placed upon the move? ment of the Japanese troops io Corea, they will oot be sent where their pres? ence is not deemed oeeessary. The Japanese troops are under strict dis? cipline, and the Jaoaoese Government are confident that they will not preci? pitate a collision with the Chinese forces. It is hoped that China has adopted similar precautions.v No 6 is an offer of the Japanese Government to join China io ajoiot readjustment of Corea oo modern ideas. * No 7 is China's rejection of the offer, io which she says : "The idea may be excellent, but the measures of improve? ment most be left to Corea herself/' No 8 is from Japan to China stating that Japan eao no longer disregard the law of s alf preservation which impels ber to reform the deplorable conditions of Corea at the root of her frequent rebellions. No 9 is also from Japan to China, stating that as China has declined to join in the administrative reform of Corea, the only conclusion deducible is that the Chinese Government "is dis? posed to precipitate complications." This closes the correspondence, the last letter being dated eleven days be? fore the Japanese sank the Chinese transport Kow Shing carrying the Chinese troops to Corea. Japan's declaration of war followed six days later. Miss Mary, second daughter of Murat Halstead, is engaged to be married to Mr. Arthur Stem, of Cin- j cinnati. Gen. Wade Hampton has received | five fox bounds from an English i Earl. The dogs came by steam from Liverpool, via Port Royal. Napoleon would not trouble China, because as he said, the Chinese were troubling no one, and if they were ? conquered they would be? taught the | art of war, and would then be a me? nace to France. The Japs are giving them lessons.
