L ke i CHINESE ARE HOSTILE. ese Attacks Are Reported to Have Been Made on Russians. ST. PETERSBURG, May 14.—Dis- quieting news regarding the attitude of the Chinese is shown in dispatches | from cfficers at the front, issued by the | general staff to-night. In addition to | the further details of the cutting off of Port Arthur and confirming the re- port of the Japanese advance upon Liaoyang, these dispatches state spe- cifically that the Chinese have com- menced hostilities against the Rus- sians. Major General Karevitch reports that the Chinese attacked his outposts on e Fengwangcheng road leading to aimatsj. General Pflug telegraphs that according to reports of patrols and Chinese at Tapad- ziatsi, 160 miles northwest of Mukden | and just outside the Russian sphere of influen: are preparing to rise against the Russians and Christians generally. As showing the extent of the hostile | attitude of the Chinese attention is particularly called to the fact that the distance in an air line from that point where the Russian outposts were at- tacked and Tapadziatsi is 200 miles. The authorities say that this matter affects not only Russia but the whole civilized world, as it is feared the ris- ing will spread to other parts of the empire. The hostile attitude of the Chinese is attributed to the action of the Japan- ese In spreading reports of their suc- cesses and magnifying their victories at Port Arthur and on the Yalu. This propaganda has been active recently in all parts of China. 7 &0 far as the rallway is concerned, | ment while it is admitted here that a Chi- nese outbreak will be a new source of danger, preparations have been per- fected by General Kuropatkin to in- sure the protection of this artery, | which is vital to the supply of his | army. It is a matter of satisfaction to | the authorities that the Koreans are proving more friendly than the Chi- nese, as is shown by the reports of the destruction by them of the tele- graph wires used by the Japanese in Northern Kore: WASHINGTO. May 14.—Minister Conger reports by cable to the State Department from Peking that the Chi- nese Government has reiterated its de- termination to ohserve the strictest neutrality and has asserted its ability to do so. In view of the leading part taken by the United States Govern- ment in securing the international pledge of the neutralization of China, the State Department has felt deep concern in the reports of agitation among the Chinese military forces near the seat of war and the danger of their violating neutrality, thus re- leasing the powers from the engage- into which they entered. Mr. Conger is keeping the Department closely advised of the situation in China and his news i§ recelved with satisfaction here. AT A FRANCE LOSING FAITH. Experts Now State That Kuropatkin’s Army Was Overestimated. PARIS, May 14.—French confidence in Russian prowess is much shaken as a result of the recent developments concerning the weakness of General Kuropatkin's land forces. The early Japanese successes were accepted as merely preliminary, it being believed by the officials and public here gen- erally that Kuropatkin was concentrat- ing a vast force, approximately 400,000 men, which eventually would annihi- late the smaller Japanese army. The military experts of the Figaro and other leading papers have sought to demonstrate that Kuropatkin's success was a mathematical certainty on the ground that his forces was four times greater than that of the Japanese. But reports of the last ten days have shown a constant shrinkage of Kuro- patkin’s army until now it is generally accepted in official circles that he has not over 200,000 men, including those locked up at Port Arthur and other garrisons. The announcement that the Russian commander has put off taking the offensive until July in order to se- cure reinforcements adds to the belief that his strength has heretofore been greatly overestimated. However, the officials and the public generally continue to believe that Kuropatkin is working a strategic plan, attracting the Japapese far inland, where ultimately he will overwhelm them. The feeli; | ng of confidence, however, is steadily | diminishing. General Brugere, head of the French | army, called recently on General Por- ter, the United States Embassador, and the two veterans went over the Man- churian campaign from the standpoint of French and American mlilitary men. ‘ They agreed that much would depend | upon the topography of the country | between Mukden and Harbin, owing to the part artillery will play in com- | manding the passage of roc S. | During the discussion it wa that a Russian campaign similar to General Lee's campaign in | Virginia probably would be the most | effective means of stopping the Jap- | anese advance. Official advices received here to-day say there Is an enormous congestion of military forces near Irkutsk, Siberia, owing to the inability of the troops to cross Lake Baikal, the floating ice still | preventing the passage of the boats and a detour round the foot of the lake requiring seven days. ‘Therefore a large force is held back until it is pos- sible to cross the lake. It is the belief here that these troops may sufficiently | augment General Kuropatkin's strength to permit him to take the of- fensive. LIS TS DISTRESS IN SIBERIA. Mobilization of Russian Troops Inter- feres With Agricultural Work. PARIS, May 15.—The Journal's St- Petersburg correspondent telegraphs | that he has had an interview with an intimate friend of War Minister Sak- haroff, who declares that it was im-| possible that serious fighting could oc- | cur within five days, the Japanese forces being separated by a distance of one hundred miles from General Kuro- patkin’s main army. Mobilization, the correspondent says, is causing serious distress in Siberia, in some provinces it being absolutely impossible to con- tinue agricultural work. The correspondent in St. Petersburg of the Echo de Paris gives a high staff officer’s resume of the situation in the Far East as follows: “The Japanese are advancing toward the - Russian positions along three routes, Kuroki's army is marching up- on the Liaoyang from Fengwangcheng; Qlu’s force has left Baguchu for Yin- kow, following the Siuyen road, and Ozabe’s army Is Investing Port Ar- thur.” ——pe PRAISE FROM BERLIN. Military Genlus of the Japanese Lauded in Kaiser’s Capital. BERLIN, May 15.—The newspapers of all parties have begun vying with one another in praise of Japanese mili- tary gepius and in prophecies of the continued defeat of the Russians. Sev- | eral morning journals openly declare | tige | characterizes the Russian | civilized nations to threaten China with | sia to have her own way in Manchuria || that the Russian cause is Jost, one in- timating that Russia will prefer to make an attempt to recover her pres- in another sphere—evidently meaning Southern Asia—rather than to continue the struggle in Manchuria in- definitely. This change of tone per- vades not only the military criticisms, but the political leaders as well. The Natlonal Zeitung, which is regarded as the principal organ of the Foreign Of- fice, predicts that China will side with Japan as soon as Port Arthur falls and attempt to hold Manchuria as equally rash in con- ception and defective in execution. The suggestion of a St. Petersburg newspaper that it is the duty of the an army of occupation if she shows in- dications of taking sides is treated as puerile. The powers have allowed Rus- merely because they were dlsincllned; to re-enter upon Chinese adventures. e =eed G LR Lo OVERHAULED BY RUSSIANS. Captain A. Cunningham Takes Cargo of Coal for Japanese Government. Among the passengers who arrived here Thursday on the liner Doric was Captain A. Cunningham, who com- | manded the British collier Fonar, which was held up in the Red Sea by a Rus- | sian warship. The Fonar carried a big cargo of coal from Cardiff to Sasebo for | the Japanese Government. Her papers, | however, showed only that the coal was destined for Japan, 'and the Russian officer who boarded the colller allowed her to proceed. At Sasebo the Forna was sold to the Japanese Government and converted into an army transport. ~While in this city Captain Cunning- ham 1s visiting his sister, Mrs. L. A.
