JAPAN IS REACHING OUT. MAKES A NEW MOVE. Trying to Arrange With Nicaragua For Special Privilege In th Canal. The recent achievement of Japan hnvo led her to turn ber attention to grouting a treaty with Nicaragua, bjr which she would ecurs marked privilege la the Nlcnraguan canal.

At one time tha basis ot a treaty sse.ujd to have been reaen ed. I)r. Guzman feared, however, that the t'nlted mates might hare cause to object to seeing privileges accorded Japan. This ob- Iectlon was met bjr the representatives of npan by a proposition thnt Japan should re ceive the same privilege as other countries with which Nicaragua has treaties, except the United States, it being expressly recog nized that the United Stole Is entitled to superior advantages because of proximity to Nicaragua. The negotiations stopped nt this point, and the treaty has not, as yet, been concluded, lor Is it beiug further urged for the present, ilthonghno doubt exists amoug olllcials that satisfactory treaty will be made, giving Inpau privileges in the canal cotnmensurnte with her growing power as a military and commercial nation.

The Importance of qutok route to the Atlantlo for Japan Is said to be very great, from naval and commercial standpoint. The detail ot the recent negotiations at Washington cannot be learned, as treaty making Is guarded with much care until the instrument Is concluded. Minister Kurlno will leave for Mexico at an early day to pre sent bis credentials as minister to that coun try, to wblob be is accredited as well as tbe United States. It will be bis first visit south Of tbe United States, and while his trip may not extend Into Central America, It will fa miliarize klra with th section tributary to the lnterooeaalo canal.
