Following the breaking off of relations between Russia and Japan. the cutting of the cable is regarded here as sig- nificant of the purpose of the Japanese to begin hostilities.

The Minister was careful to point out, however, that this.does not mean actual hostilities, but strategic action through pouring Japanese troops into Corea and Man- churia. This, he states, is now in progress. . ' Baron Hayashi calculates.that forces adequate to .meet any emergency ‘will have been fully disembarked within two or three days. He regards the breaking off of negotia- tions as tantamount to war and does not look for any for- mal decldration..

PETERSBURG, Feb. 8.—An advance detachment|§ of Russian cavalry is leaving Mukden for Corea. The telegram from Mukden announcing the departure of the cay- u alry adds: ¢ ' \ “Russia’s love of peace has been exhausted by Japan’s demands. Troops, therefore, have been concentrated at the Yalu River, “The Russian troops are in the best of spirits. ‘The Japanese every- where are hurrying homeward: The Mukden despatch’ repeats the rumor that*a Japanese ‘squadron is off Wei-Hai-Wei, on the north coast of the Shantung peninsula, with the object of intercepting the Russian ships coming from Eurone. The situation diplomatically is delicate and anomalous. Just What) Japanese ‘action Russia would consider a cause for war under the gircum- stances {s not clearly defined, but it is pointed out that when Japan abrupt ly severed diplomatic relations no notification was given concerning the Russo-Japanese treaties of 1896 and 1898 covering Corea, Tnese trea’ provide for the independence of Corea, At an {mportant coungil held at the Palaco to-day under the Presidency of the Czar, it was decided to telegraph to Viceroy Alexieft to scrupulously; avold any step which might provoke hostilities, The authorities, however, are prepared at any moment to hear that Japan has made an aggressive move, which would make a semblance of peace any longer impossible, and the Czar is making dispositions acocord- ingly. Although:there still is some vague talk that hostilities may be averted, war {s regarded here as inevitable, and the general impression among military men is that it will be a long and bitter contest. The people of the Russian capital have been thoroughly aroused by the Japanese action.
