JAPANESE AFFAIRS.
WITHDRAWAL FROM SIBERIA. ARMY REDUCTIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Tokio, July 14. The Foreign Office has formally announced its decision to withdraw the forces from the mainland section of the province of Saghalien, thus clearing Siberia, but Japan will continue to occupy the Russian portion of Saghalien Island pending the Nikopaievsk settlement. The Foreign Office says Japan will remain in occupation indefinitely awaiting negotiations, of which the initiative must come from Moscow. Meanwhile, the Japanese are exploring the island for oil and doing some test boring. The Japanese Press states that a large section of the public is denouncing published plan of army reduction, which falls far short of the popular demand. A majority of-the Press declares that the reductions are largely on paper, without materially reducing the men. Count Kato states further reductions in money and men are being worked out. —Reuter.
