Japan eagerly awaits replies from various countries on Trade-agreements.
(Russia, since it doesn't seem to be imperative to get any agreement this turn, I played on.)
Talks with France, Germany and Britain are in progress, but no deals were made yet. The US will respect Japan's position, although it does not share Japan's views.
The American CivDip offer presented to Japan is welcomed with great enthousiasm, but we could not (yet) accept the package deal that was offered. Our ambassador in Washington will be send with a clarification to the State Department within a few days at the latest.
The Science advisor to the Emporor has been sacked and committed sepuku shortly afterwards, when it was revealed that his estimate that new economic theories (that could boost Japan's wealth) would not take a mere six month to complete, but would it fact take a full two years to be anywhere near-ready for implementation.
The Japanese consul in Manilla had a much heated talk with the Spanish Governor. The feeble Spanish Empire was hoping to stash its state coffers with hard earned Japanees money, but we would not have this obvious blackmale:

Japanese marines on exercise in the straits of Taiwan were then immediately dispatched to the Philipines, and they are beseiging Manilla as we speak. Merchant vessels were confiscated by the Japanese army and are being use as troop transports.
The Imperial Japanese Navy has been put on highest alert with British warships patroling the waters north of Taiwan.
Tension rises in the waters around Taiwan, Marines beseige Manilla
Japanese Goods have been sold on the Chinese markets for a hefty price. Japanese-Chinese trade is expected to boom over the next few months.

France has earned the eternal gratitude of Japan for so gallantly leave Manilla for us  .
France is a very gallant nation, and its ruler is most wise and benevolent.
Whenever the French Emporer will set foot on Japanese soil, or any of his envoys, Japanese hospitality will know no limits, and many Geisha's will do honour to Japan's gratitude.  |
REVOLUTION!!!!
We wish nothing but the best of luck for the brave Japanese as they tackle the Spanish menace. Their have been suggestions that the French nation too should deal with the Spanish, when the time arises.
However, that time is not now, as revolution has engulfed the countryside. Napolean III had an unfortunate meet in with one of our old French inventions, the guillotine. It appears he will not be seeing any "geisha's soon, but all future leaders of the French Empire hope that the offer will stand for them as well. 
Military Action off Morocco
It seems as though the Arabs have tried to take advantage of France's internal dissent to expel France from North Africa. However, the defenses still remain organized, and the French military has the situation in check. Coastal bombardment has already destroyed one Morrocan cannon regiment, and ground troops have begun to lay siege to Casablanca.
More ominious are reports of movements by the natives in Asia.
French troops also raided a villages in Africa.
Trade Report
Unit landed outside London. Due to the revolution, the owner of the caravan has been "eliminated" and the merchant wishes to acquire a new buyer for the goods before proceeding into the city.

…regarding AI contact:
After capturing Manilla, and refusing to sign an end to the hostlities, the Independent AI offers me money. Is it OK to extort money from the Independents this way?

Japanese Army victorious!
This month the Japanese flag was raised on the governours mansion in Manilla. After a month long seige, and a week long artillery bombardment the Philipine city was finally liberated of its European opressors. Many battles were fought in the interiour of the archipelago as well with the many Spanish troops in their fortresses, but the powerfull Japanese cannons managed to eradicate the islands from the foreigners. Battles were long and hard however, and the victory has caused great losses among the Japanese forces. In total, the losses amount up to the equivalent of three cannon-regiments, and reserves of the Japanese army have been depleted.
The Spanish put up a stiff resistance, and had it not been for the powerfull cannons of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the archipelago would probably still see many Spanish controlled islands.
During long and hard negotiations, peace was signed with the Spanish. The Spanish will never set foot in eastern Asia again, and 600 Gold was paid in reparations for their harsh occupation of the Philipine people. These funds were invested immediately in infrastructure.
