Tokio, May 11.—The government maintains reserve, but the Indo-Chi- nese situation seems to be rapidly ap- proaching a crisis. Fcllowing the re- peated assurances of the French for- eign minister, M. Delcasse, to Dr. Mo- tono, the Japanese minister at Paris, that the vessels of the Russian Pacific squadron were outside territorial wa- ters the navy department here has re- ceived reliable information that a por- tion of the squadron was inside Hon- kohe bay, a short distance north of Kamranh bay, the morning of May 6 and it is generally believed that the Fourth (Nebogatoff’s) division of the squadron will use French waters to coal and take on other supplies and clean their bottoms. It is-difficult to predict future events. The Japanese government has been urged to accept France’s assurances that the Russian warships have- re- mained outside territorial waters and to act accordingly. The agitation against France commercially is grow- ing and despite governmental repres- sion a motion to boycott French goods may reach a vote in the chamber of eommerce. RELIEVES THE SITUATION. Russian Naval Forces Now Clear of 2 French Waters. Paris, May 11.—Admiral de Jon- quieres, the French naval commander at Saigon, affirms the announcement of the departure of the Russian squad- ron from Vafong bay. He says he saw the Russians well off the coast un- der fuli steam. The oflicials here say the French ad- miral’s report relieves the seriousness of the issue with Japan as the depar- ture of the squadron was what Japan asked for. The report of the junction of Rear Admiral Nebogatofl's division with the ! main Russian squadron under Admiral Rojestvensky outside of French wa ters is also considered official. This averts serious apprehensions that their Jjunction near Saigon would cons ously show two Russian naval forces SATISFACTION AT TOKIO. England’s Representations to France Regarding Neutrality. Tokio, May 11.—The Jiji hopes that France will cease her flagrant and de- liberate breaches of her pledges of neutrality in reference to _the treat ment accorded the Russian Second Pa- cific squadron’ in IFrench waters and satisfaction is expressed at British representations to the government in Paris, showing that England is alive to the danger menacing Japanese in- terests. .. The Nippon says that French inter- est in Russia is more of a financial and economical character 'than political and that the alliance between the coun- tries has ceased to be of any practical benefit in Europe. It expresses the belief that France is upholding the al- liance because her honor is pledged diplomatically. St. Petersburg, May 11.—Much sat- #sfaction was expressed at the admi- ralty at the uniting of the divisions of Admiral Rojestvensky’s squadron, experts calculating that the Russian admiral now enjoys a superiority over his adversary of 25 per cent in ships | of the line. ~ The impression here is that it will require a week for Nebogatoff to coal and get everything shipshape for the fianl stage of the journey to Vladivos- tok. Admiral Togo is expected to de- cline an open battle. Plan Additions to Navy. - Tokio, May 11.—The reports that Japan plans to order the construction of two battleships and six large cruis- ers abroad are renewed. The represen- tatives of English naval constructors mre here endeavoring to secure the ‘or- ders, but it is doubtful if the govern- ment has rexched any decision in the PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT STOPS IN WINDY CITY ON HIS WAY TO WASHINGTON. BTRIKERS CHANGE THEIR PLANS DECIDE NOT TO ASK CHIEF EX- ECUTIVE TO INTERVENE IN LABOR TROUBLE. Chicago, May 11.—President Roose- velt's train arrived at the Chicago and Northwestern railroad depot a few minutes after noon and was met by Graeme Stewart and other members of the reception committee. President Roosevelt and party immediately started for the Auditorium Annex. The president was given a hearty welcome by Governor Deneen, Mayor Dunne, delegations from the Mer- chants, the Hamilton and the Iroquois clubs, a committee of aldermen and other city officials. The streets through which the pres- ident’s carriage drove were lined with police, and men in uniform and plain clothes mingled with the crowd every- ‘Where. There. were 450 policemen along the drive from the Northwestern depot to the Auditorium and an equal number in the parade from the hotel to the Hamilton club. In addition to these (here were over fifty detectives who followed the president’s carriage and watched the crowds closely for any disturbers. On the way to Chicago the president made three speeches in Illinois—one at Dixon, one at Sterling and one at Dekalb. LEADERS ABANDON PLAN DECIDE NOT TO ASK ROOSEVELT TO ARBITRATE CHICAGO TEAMSTERS' STRIKE. Chicago, May 11.—Representatives of lahor abandoned their plan of peti- tioning President Roosevelt while in Chicago to use his good offices in bringing about a’settlement of the strike. C. P. Shea, president of the Teamsters’ union, said: - 2 “President Roosevelt will not be asked to arbitrate the strike. None of- the committee appointed will call on him. We do not see what good it will do labor to ask the president te arbi- trate the strike.” ONLY SMALL DISTURBANCES. Hostilities Practically Suspended Dur- ing President’s Visit. Chicago, May 11.—Owing to the presence of the president in the city less wagons were on the streets mak- ing deliveries. Many of the police- men had been withdrawn from strike duty, but their places were taken by deputy sheriffs, of whom' 2,000 have been sworn in. There was comparatively little in- terference with deliveries by strilers and their sympathizers though there ‘were several small disturbances. No . one was killed, but several persons were injured. In a slatement expressing the atti- tude of the Employers’ association to- ward the mayor’s strike inquiry com- mission the importance of the investi- gating body is belittled and the sug- gestion made that it should await the results of the federal inquiry, which ig clothed with power to compel wit- nesses to testify. The statement says the employers believe that the mayor’s commission can do practically nothing compared with the federal courts. Look Out for These Swindlers. Chicago, May 11.—Two or more men using. the names Anderson, Craft and Todd have been engaged fraudulently for two months in soliciting subscrip- tions for magazines and other periodi- cals in the name of the American Press Association - as subscription agent. They have operated here, in Omaha, South Omaha, Council = Bluffs, Sioux City and other places. At an earlier date they had worked the Eastern states.
