The Daily Graphic claims to have the highest authority to deny that Ger- | many has entered into any understand- ing with Russia or any other power af- fecting her neutrality in the event of a Russo-Japanese war. The Dalily Mail is authority for the| statement that King Edward greatly admires the Japanese and is using évery effort in the direction of peace.

Home Squadron Expects Orders to Replace the Channel Squadron, LONDON, Jan. 3.—No news has been received by the Japanese Lega- probably has been taken pending | tion, or, apparently, by the Foreign Office, to-day, concerning the Russo- Japanese difficulty in the Far East, and, according to Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister, the situation re- mains upchanged. Within a few days the cruisers Kasaga and Niasin, which were bought by the Japanese Government from the Government of Argentina and which were built at Genoa, will be formally delivered to Japan. Immediately on | their delivery the Japanese flag will be run up and the Japanese Legation hopes thereby to avoid any objections on the part of the Italian Government regarding the sailing of the cruisers should hostilities commence before they are ready to put to sea. No little excitement prevalls among the officers of the British home squad- ron, who are under the impression that they may at any moment be or- | dered to replace the channel squadron, which would be sent to the Mediter- ranean should the Government deem {it advisable to strengthen its naval force in the Far East. In the home squadron, which is usually regarded as a reserve and training unit of the navy, all leaves of absence have been | stopped. ¢ Extra supplies af ammuni- tion have been taken on board and | men and ships are kept in a state of | alertness such as has not existed in years. > | Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Min- | ister, says he assumed that the marine engineers from the Clyde, who have left for Japan, have been engaged for the transport fleet, though the Min- | ister says ‘he has no definite knowl- edge of the circumstances of their de- parture. > RUSSIA’S REPLY NEARLY READY. | Will Be Submitted to Tokio Foreign Office Within a Few Days. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3.—Diplo- matic circles confidently expect that the Russian answer to the Japanese proposals will be handed to the Japan- | ese Foreign Office by Baron de Rosen, Russian Embassador to Japan, within a very few days, and do not expect grave results. In other quarters the conciliatory attitude of both Governments inspires the belief that the answer will pave the way to further negotiations, if, in- deed, it does not directly lead to a pacific settlement of the trouble. The characteristic tone in the press to-day is the doubt about the attitude of the United States in the event of a | war between Russia and Japan. The Birshewja Vedomosti elaborates upon | American power in the Pacific and the | proximity of the Philippines and For- mosa and 5 “It is no secret to any one in Eu- rope that the position of the United States in the East Asiatic crisis re- mains highly problematical.” | The Russ, a new journal made up of former employes of the Novoe Vremya, handles the theme in a simi- lar manner. The Novoe Vremya expresses i1l will toward the United States in a long leader about the alleged instructions given American Consuls in Russia to report upon the prospects of renewed anti-Semitic disorders, and in a curi- ous editorial opposes the sale of the Manchurian Railway, whether to the United States or China, which, it de- clares, is advocated in some quarters here. All of the newspapers here to-day | copy from the organ of the War Min- istry a belated, and, therefore, all the more significant, order of the day pub- lished by Admiral Alexieff after the | Receipt of Russia’s Reply to Be the | fall maneuvers and parade at Port Ar- thur, highly praising the troeps and declaring that some who had just fin- ished a twelve days' nlarch had ar- rived in magnificent condition. The Novirkai says that a Chinese attack is unlikely and reprints a Chi- nese newspaper story that Russia has 2000 Cossacks and 2500 Mongolian soldiers at Urga. The report that the Russian volun- teer fleet cruisers Kazan and Ekater- fnoslav, carrying munitions of war and marines to the Far East, have been recalled to the Black Sea is offi- clally denied. According to the rumor the vessels were recalled because the possibility of their capture was feared. AL JAPAN IS UNDERESTIMATED. Russian Officers Scoff at Island Na- ton’s_Belligerent Attitude. PEKING, Jan. 3.—In the various for- eign legations here the opinion is pre- valent that war between Japan and Russia'is certain. This opinion is based upon the, latest dispatches from Tokio and the conviction that it is not a ques- tion of detail which separates Rus- sia and Japan, but the vital principle whether Japan possesses the right to a! voice in the settléement of the question of Russian occupation of Manchuria. Russia has all along denled this right. and unless her reply-shows that she has receded from this position, which is not expected to be the case, it probably will Invoke ‘an ultimatum from Japan. whose determination té resort to-arms in support of her claim 1is unques- tioned. Advices from Manchuria: represent the Russian officials there as being sur- prised at Japan's readiness to fight. They expected that she would submit at the last moment, as she did In 1895, when she surrendered Port Arthur at the bidding of the European coalition. The Russian officials rely for support upon the same powers that aided the Russian government on that occasion. Moreover, the Russians have confidence in their ability to win in the event of war. Among the junior officers this feeling takes the form of despising the enemy. General Yuan Shi Kai, commandér- in-chief of the Chinese army and navy, has memorialized the throne, praying to be relieved of all his minor offices so that he may devote all his energies to the reorganization of the army. While the Government is determined to remain neutral as long as possible, it fully recognizes the possibility of Bé- coming involved in the event of wir. ——— WILL NOT DELAY. JAPAN Signal for Prompt Action. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Cablegrams | received here to-day from Tokio show the situation in the Far East to be un- changed, and at a late hour to-night it was declared at the Japanese Legation that nothing had occurred to dispel the gloomy view -taken there of the pros- pects for peace. The fact that Taka- hira, the Japanese Minister, regards the situation as extremely critical does not prevent him hoping that a way may yet be found by which' the aquestions between Russia and Japan could be set- tled without recourse to arms, The Japanese Government, it is said, is not anxious for war, and throughout the negotiations has endeavored to re- press all war talk. Japan will await patiently the Russian reply, and will not delay, after recelving the note, in announcing her future course. It fs sald that substantial concessions must | I Prospect of War Is Having an Effect | | | be forthcoming from Russia in Korea that will offset.the jurisdiction which Russia claims in Manchuria, if war is to be averted. The Russian Government has been urged to reply promptly. IR e el FLOUR RATE IS RAISED. Trans-Pacific Companies Adopt Tariff Because of War Rumors. PORTLAND, Jan. 3.—Significant of the likelihood of war between Russia and Japan is the raising of the Orien- tal. flour rate by all the trans-Pacific lines. An -agreement between the Portland, San Francisco and northern lines was reached, fixing $5 as the February tariff. However, as the agreement was not signed, the San Francisco companies backed down to the extent of a dollar. The Puget Sound lines so far have stood by the advgnce. The Portland and Asiatic Company has made no announcement of its inténtions. It is safe to say that if it finds the $5 rate cannot be main- tained it will fix its tariff at $4. A settlement of the matter is expected to-morrow. General Freight Agent Miller of the Oregon Railroad and | Navigation Company is now in San | Francisco and a telegram from him announcing a fixed rate for February shipments is expgcted at any moment. | The advance in the flour rate from | $3 is attributed entirely to the pros- | pect of war in Asia. It was reported | on the water front yesterday that | Laidlaw & Co. had withdrawn their | bids made to the Government for the | transportation of fodder to the Philip- | pines upon the contract expected to be awarded to Portland grain and hay dealers. The reason for the with- drawal was stated to be the imminence of war in the Far East. Inquiry at the office of the company brought out the response that a telegram to that effect had been received from the steamship owners in London, but it was counter- manded soon after and the offer to the Government will hold good for a few days longer. SRS A 5 JAPAN MUST TAKE WARSHIPS. Italy Objects to Further Responsibility | for Vessels at Genoa. | ROME, Jan. 3.—Italy has . insisted | that the Japanese Government take.| possession of the Kasaga and Niasin, | the. warships built at Genoa for the Argentine Republic, and purchased by Japén. In taking this action the Ital- fan Government desires to prevent the Russian Government being compelled to ask for the confiscation of these vessels in the event of a conflict, as it | ie Italy's wish to maintain the strict- est neutrality. In view of the complications in the far East, the Ministers of Marine and Forelgn Affairs have ordered another warship to be kept in readiness to join the Italian spuadron there. PO T OUTLOOK IS DEPRESSING. on Russian Bonds. LONDON, Jan, 3.—The desponden- cy In connection with the situation in the Far East is at last beginning to be | felt on the Paris Bourse with the re- sult that Russian bonds which have only fallen about 3 per cent since Sep- tember last are now affected by the | depressing influence surrounding the foreign market. On the Stock Exchange Chinese se- curities have been heavily sold on Berlin account, but the Berlin Boerse is still optimistic. With such a gloomy opening of the year the vol- ume of the week's business has been | the smallest. | JAPAN WILL FIGHT WELL. Traveler's Observations Regarding the Czar’s and Mikado’s Fighting Men. Willlam Benjamin Jones, a Califor- nian, who eight years ago left San Francisco for Alaska, arrived in this city on Saturday, after having passed the last year and a half in Northeast- ern Siberia, where he was prospecting. On his travels Jones has been en- abled to form an opinion of the Japan- | ese, for whom he professes the highest | respect. He admires them as soldlers | and believes that should Japan engage in war with Russia the Tartar would | find a hard fighter in the little brown | man. Jones said yesterday when discussing the prospect of war: A conflict is inevitable between Japan and Russia. The latter seeks to possess Korea, which ambition the Japanese oppose with de- termination. Besides that controversy, there is keen feeling of resentment by the Japanese, arising out of the fshing question, as a num- ber of Japanese schoomers have 'been siezed by the Russians, who claim that the Jap- anese fishermen have encroached on their fish- ing grounds. From my personal observation, the Russians will meet a foe superigr to anything they dream of. 1 believe in the event of war that the Japanese would be victorious. The Japanese have a standing army of 150.- 000 and a good navy, and they have their ships practically in the waters where the conflict | would take place. They are fatalists and all of the game mind and in my opinion will fight like | vantage that they | ligently manned | | the Boers, with the added a have a well-equipped and it navy In case of an attempted inv ulation, which practically 1iv o would contribute a protect that coast. The Japanese are splen didly drilled and up to date, which was proved | in the advance on Peking when they passed the Russfans and met. the Chinese and sur- prised the combined armies of the world with their valor.

CALIENTES, Nev., Jan. 3.—Advices from the country near the Moapa res- ervation tell of more depredations by Piutes, and indicate that the redskins are still in an ugly mood. caused by the prospective execution of one of their number. Threats were made sometime ago that if the Indian, now under sen- tence of death fdr murder, was hanged the Piutes and other Indians in Nevada would take the warpath and attempt to exterminate the whites. According to the latest information from the disturbed district another war dance has been held, isolated settlers have been attacked and prospéctors journeying alone have been chased by the marauders.
