nnejp Oovcrument not ltnvltig ni yet re
plied to the Ainericnn note concerning
ro-opprat'on in the administration ot
the Trhus-Slbcrlnn nallrond, it i tin
derstobti liere that the United States
Government lina dlpntchrd a second
note on the (subject to. Japan.
America, according to report, n.v,
in effect, that the length of time Japan
1h taking to reply to mo lormer note in
dicates the important o which the Jap
anese Government attaches to the sub
led at inKiie. and1 intimatei the United
States completely sltnres this view of
the matter. The note Is said to express
gratification in the fait that General Oi,
communder of Japanese expeditionary
forces in Siberia, lias signified his in
tention to bring about complete co
operation between Japanese and Amer
ican troops. Nevertheless, the United
States makes it clear that America is
nnxinus that n definite policy relative
to Siberia, including the question of
the withdrawn! of American troops, be
announced, mid in n perfectly friendly
tone requests Japan to forward n reply
to the original note ns soon as conveni
ent. Information has been received by the
Associated Tress that the Japanese
renlv will bo fortlicominsr in a few dnft.
Further investigation seems to indicate
that the reason for the delay is the con
troversy between the moderates and the
extremists and the difficulty of satisfy
ing tho military group in frnming a re
sponse. It Is apparent here that the
result of the negotiation between
America and Japan" will determino
whether the two countries shall in
tho future co-operate In solving the
Siberian problem, or whether America
is to pursue an independent policy.
It has been learned Lit Admiral
Kolchak, head of the all-ItussTan Gov
ernment at Omsk, is trying to sohe the
Siberian crisis, and recently asked the
Allies for n credit amounting to $300,
000,000 to be ued for militaiy and
economic purposes. At the same time
he is said to be seeking additional allied
troops to guard the Trans-Siberian
Railroad between Urkutsk and Omsk
as substitutes for Oecho-Slovak troops
who wiil soon return to l'urope.
Siberian banks, co-opeiatiug -with the
Omsk government, have succeeded in
arrancine a credit of $25,000,000 with
Japanese banks, the interest rate being
7 per cent. As security they have de
posited in he Osaka Mint gold bullion
to an equal amount. Negotiations for
credits of S3o.000.000 with American
banks and SoO.OOO.OOO with English in
stitutions hae taken a faoiablc turn.

in the Philippine Islands that the, gov
ernment has placed an embargo on the
