the "Hermit Kingdom" and the em
pire of Korea will become historical
terms. 1J.000,000 of people will be
added ►> the population of Japan, and
territory aa large aa England will be
come part of the Japanese emperor's
dominations. The treaty of Ports
mouth. which settled the war between
Japan and Rustle, provides that Ja
pan shall have the "guidance, protec
tion and control" of Korea, and the
last stage of this agreement is now
becoming an actually after three
years of experimenting to discover n
practical method for conserving the
national entity of the Korean pen
insula.
The privy council of Japan to-day
was summoned to meet at 10:30
o'clock to-morrow morning, and this
is regarded by well-informed persons
as practically the signal to complete
the negotiations between Lieut. Gen.
Terauchl, the Japanese resident gen
eral in Korea, and the Emperor of
Korea and his cabinet, which have
continued for a full week. While the
negotiations are shrouded In absolute
! official silence, there no longer can
J be any doubt that the Korean emperor
| has agreed to sign a convention by
, which. In view of the untenable con
j dltions pertaining, he and hi* gov
■ ernment and people consent to the
! absolute control of Korea by the em
peror and government of Japan.
Extra editions of the newspapers
says the convention has been signed
already, but whether or not this be
so. some announcement is expected
I shortly after the meeting1 to-morrow
! of the privy council. This probably
l will Include the official proclamation
i of the conclusion of the annexation,
: unless all the prognostications or
? weil-informed persons are Incorrect, i
The Y1 dynasty In Korea has lasted
I for 618 years. Seven branches of the j
i family remain, und the heads of these
• will be given rank as princes. A num
ber of other Korean officials will be
: elevated to the Japanese nobility.
Throughout the negotiations the
mass of the Koreans have been kept
In entire ignorance of what has been
j transpiring. The newspaper cen#or- \
ship is complete and Japanese news- :
papers have not been permitted to be
. sold In Korea.
It It not believed, however, that
annexation by Japan will involve dis
j turbances in any section of Korea.

INSURGENTS START
Leave Granada to Carry Cam
paign to Madriz Capital.
Success is Expected.
I BEUEFIEDD, NIC., August 22.—
I The Insurgents started from Granada
| to-day to carry their successful c»m
’ paign to the Madriz capital. Mangua.
I which It Is believed here now will
| toon he In the hand of General Juan
i Estrada, who is already being pro
claimed as the "Saviour of his coun
try."
There is some doubt whether Gen
eral Estrada will be made president
on account of th“e numerous enemies
aroused and the bitterness develop
ed during the long campaign. It Is
j confidently predicted, however, that
j If the general Is not made president,
j one of his brothers surely w ill be
; placed at the head of the government.
It is takn as a matter of fact here
1 to-day that Managua will fall. Madriz
has tied. Granada and the town of
Tipltapa are both In the hands of the
insurgents. Masaya Is expected to pe
evacuated by the Madriz troops to'
day. Reports from Tipltapa Indicate
that the insurgents are now meeting
with practically no reslstence. The
Madriz forces are becoming de
moralized and rapidly are disorganiz
ing.
Minister at Ssa.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 22 —Ad
mitting that he is without immediate
advices—a fact most discouraging—Dr.
Sebastian Salinas, representative of
Dr. Madriz, president of the defacto
government at Managua, Nicaragua,
to-day issued the following state
.: ment:
| "X am positive of three things.
“First. That Masaya and Managua
have not been taken by the rebels, and
: it would be impossible, even if auc
' | cessful at Granada, to take them In
1 j a short engagement.
’ ; “Second. That the rebels, if they
• i should succeed in taking Managua.
‘ ! would not accept as president either
■ I Jose Dolores Estrada or their present
■ ! leader. General Juan Estrada, who are
■ ! both liberals, but would insist upon
liberal conservatives like Tomas Mar
tinez or Dr. Adam Cardenas, unless
General Chamorro, General Mena or
General Masla. also conservatives.
1 should feel strong enough to usurp the
office for himself.
“The taking of Managua by the reb
| els would not end the war. because
j the liberals would fall back upon their
i stronghold at I.eon, which Is the larg
est city in Nicaragua, and which In
1893 supplied the revolutionary army
that took Managua after fifteen days’
warfare, without outside assistance.
' and drove the conservatives from
[ power.”
General Rivas Dead.
! Dispatches confirming the death of
’ General Rivas and the evacuation of
Blueflelds Bluff were received at the

P. Moffatt, United States consul at

Welgelia, or buah honeysuckle, with
lta hranche* laden with thoae dainty
pink, roa* or white bloaaoma, should
be In every shady border. I» growa

Then there ia the bush meadow

•■lusters of white or pink How era from
spring to the end of August; and hy
drangea bushes, if planted In good
soil and pruned well in the winter,
can be depnded upon for fine heads
of bloom in summer and autumn.
When the border is large and thera
are not many tree* in it, tall flowering
shrubs, such as ayrtnga and 'ilac. may
be planted with advantage, while the
berberis, or barberry, is extremely
useful for “filling up,” as It spreads
rapidly, gives large quantities of love
ly golden blossoms yielding cherry
red berries and shows masses of crim
son foliage In autumn. Plant also the
winter sweet—a Japanese shrub with
fragrant blossoms—for it will provs
a delight through the dreary winter
months.
Then there are the phloxes, which
revel in shade. Increase quickly and
are of brilliant hues. It mulrt be re
membered that they soon exhaust the
soil in which the roots are, and that
they need ample moisture an* con

During the late summer Michaelmas
daisies and Py rethrum ulglnosum,
with its white marguerite-like flowers,
are invaluable in the lhady border,
yielding plenty of blossoms.

Remember to thoroughly trench the
