BERLIN, Jan, 18.—According to a re- port curmpnt in financial circles the Offictal opinion regarding the proba- bility of war between Russia and Japan has suddenly changed. Intelligence re- ceived at the Foreign Office has caused the Government, for the first time since the controversy began, to believe that the situation js extremely tense. The very definite views hitherto held \are reversed and war has become a proximate contingency, according to the view held in official circles here. Japan's delay in answering Russia's last note is deemed here as being symptom that @ grave decision is un- der consideration.
