THE SAN FRANCISCO: CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1905. JAPAN MAY CALL UPON HE R ALLY TO CHECK FRANCE TOKIO, April 19.—Should the Baltic fleet persist in its intention to make Kamranh Bay its base, Japan will call upon Great Britain, her ally, to compel France to observe neutrality by cjecting the Russians. In the meantime a fleet will be sent to attack the Russian ships in French waters should they remain. It is evident that Rojestvensky intends to await the arrival of the third Pacific squadron, which would give him 2 numerical superi & ority over Togo’s fleet.

Russians Would Prefer a General Battle on the Open Sea. ST. PETERSBURG, April 19.—The { keenest interest is manifested in the dispatehes referring to the Russian sguadron commanded by Admiral Ro- jestvensky, but the Admiralty claims to be as much in the dark as the public regarding the plans of the admiral The report that part of the squadron was sighted off Hongkong is not cred- ited here, as Hongkong is far off his route. The main question now agitating the will elect to progefd northward | through the Straits of Formosa or bear | off into the Pacific through Baschi channel, north of the island of Luzon. | The conviction is growing stronger | that the Japanese heavy division is concentrating close to the shores of Japan and it is believed that Admiral Togo will decline to give battle in the open sea. This is what the Admiralty officials hope for, as it believes Rojest- vensky would have more than an even |in an open fight. They believe that | Togo's tactics will be night torpedo | boat attacks, in #ttempts to scatter the Russian ships, putting some of them out of action and then picking off the damaged veseels in the morning, as it recognized that if one of the Russian ships be injured it might be too dan- gerous for the whole squadron to stand by her and thus offer a big target for the Japanese torpedoes. Such a run- ning fight, accompanied by nightly tor- | pedo attacks, therefore, is what is most | dreaded. ML, T L MAY TARRY AT KAMRANH. Rojestvensky Seems Disposed to Make French Port His Base.

"There also ars newspaper correspondents representing the American press. The gentlemen are granted facilities for seeing what is going on. They are not constantly guarded and barred from a view of ‘operations, as is the cage in the Japanese armies. Their eyes are open and they are permitted to see. Is it not strange that some of these gen- tlemen, disinterested as they unques- tionably are, have not mentioned some- | thing of the cruelties described by | Baron Kaneko, if such wrongs were practiced? “The answer is obvious. No such cruelties have occurred or will occur. The Russian soldier is not by nature cruel. He has no desire to willfully in- Jjure those who fall helplessly into his power. It ‘is incredible that Baron Kaneko should believe that sufficient credulity exists in this country as to permit him to put forward such state- ments as his tale that 200 Japanese captives were led bound together through the streets of -Mukden, and that their Russian cavtors invited the Chinese populace to offer them insult. “As to the charge that Russia has broken every article of the Geneva convention, I have only to say that the Japanese gentleman is apparently for- getful of his own Government’'s disre- gard of the ethics of international in- tercourse. “It is known to all the world that the Japanese, without warning, made tor- pedo attacks on the Russian fleet at Port Arthur and attacked the Variag and Korietz at Chemulpo, a neutral’ harbor, before war had been declared. i1t was more defiant ‘of international comity in that assurances had already been given to the United States that Japan would not begin hostilities un- til after a formal declaration of war. “Japan is too young a nation to pre- sume to give lessons in civillzation and CASSINI SHARPLY REPLIES| TO BARON < | demus on the River Never Sink and | of the man who tried to take him.
