MYSTERY SURROUNDS ACTION Ambassador of the Czar at Toklo Re ceives a Message From Headquar ters and His Secretiveness Causes Apprehension. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 23. A semi official Russian agency has received from Totao a report to the effect that Japanese warships have been dispatched to prevent the Russian war vessels, Tsarevltch and Balan, reaching Port Arthur to join the Russian sauadron there. Regarded as Significant. LONDON. Nov. 24. The alarming report from Toklo that Japanese war vessels have been dispatched to intercept two Russian warships cannot be confirmed here. It is possible this report Is connected "with the statemont or the Japanese Jour nal, the Nagasaki Shimpo, which, as an nounced in these dispatches yesterday, was to the effect that a Japanese squad ron of 12 vessels had left Sasebo for an unknown destination. The fact that such a statement should be Issued by the Russian semiofficial agency is, however, regarded as signifi cant. Curiously enough, the Russian newspaper. Svet. a few days ago, ex pensed the belief that communications between Port Arthur and Japan had been already Interrupted. In Cardiff yesterday renewed activity was reported on the part of the Russian and Japanese agents, with a view to se curing further shipments of coal. Japanese Occupation Discredited. ST.

Foreign Minister Says Nation Could ' Only Follow Lead of America. PARIS, Nov. '23. Foreign Minister Del casse addressed the Chamber of Deputies today In reply to questions regarding for eign affairs.- He opened with a statement in reference to the Panama question and said: "I am asked for Information concerning the action of France. Here is what has been done. Having received notification that Panama had constituted herself an independent republic, we had only to con sider the necessary conditions for the maintenance of order and what guaran tees she offered. "From the French point of view, wo have not been without apprehension for some time. It has been said at Bogota lor several months that the decision of the Colombian goverriment prolonging the canal concession was open to dispute, and InliXH the concession might be declared to have" lapsed. If this theory had ever been put forward officially we would not have accepted it. It was our strict duty to demand from the Republic of Panama assurances that all French interests, in cluding the canal concession, be respected. This assurance has been given us in de cisive form, the following being the textual form of the promise J " 'The Republic of Panama, solemnly, expressly and definitely pledges itself to protect vigilantly French Interests and to maintain and to interpret; in their widest senso the contracts made before November 3, which, referring to the Isthmus, fol low the "transmission of sovereignty and bind the independence of Panama. All these contracts are maintained, notably the contract prolonging the concession un til 1910 " M. Delcasse continued: "Under these conditions, we had only to follow the example set by the United States and permit our agents to enter into relations with all the agents of the new republic." The declaration of the Foreign Minister was received with applause. M. Delcasse then described the condi tions in Macedonia. He said the remedy for the abuses complained of was to ac cord Macedonia reforms which can bo ap plied to the entire population, without distinction of race or religion, and to extend to every Individual protection and the enjoyment of tho fruits of his work. The reforms must be controlled closely. Europe, .If necessary, would bring lellef and prevent new revolts. In relation to Slam, M. Delcasse said the government was doing everything pos sible to arrive at a pacific understanding. Referring to the Anglo-French arbitra tion treaty, M. Delcasse attributed it to the Czar's peace pronouncement of five years ago, praised the entente with Great Britain, and felicitated France on the rapproachment with Italy. At the close of the general debate on the foreign policy of the government. Deputy Hubbard brought a motion requir ing thegovernment to Join with foreign powers for the purpose of limiting tho military burdens of Europe. M. Delcasse replied that it was not the business of France to make proposals. The French government, he said, had already set the example, as its naval and military budgets had been decreased year by year, while the budgets of other powers had been increased. After a heated discus sion, a resolution approving the foreign policy of tho government was carried by an enormous majority. COLON CLOSED TO SHIPPING. Foreign Consufs Protest In Vain Against the Decree. COLON, Nov. 23. A decree was issued at Cartagena, November 16. setting forth that no steamers shall be allowed to clear from Cartagena for Colon, or enter Car tagena comlpg from Colon. All Foreign Consuls and steamer agents at Cartagena have protested without effect against tho decree. The Navy Department also has received a cablegram from Rear-Admlral Glass, commander-in-chief of the Pacific Squad ron, from Panama, under date of the 21st. stating that the conference of General Reyes and tho authorities at Panama was without result, and that General Reyes had sailed for the united states, it is ; believed here that aside from a proposl- , tion for Panama to assume a part of Colombia's foreign debt. General Reyes' main purpose is to advance the sugges tion that the capital of Colombia be transferred to the city of Panama. This is equivalent to the annexation of Co lombia by Panama. Tho opinion in official circles here is that, though flattering, the proposition will be rejected by the Pana ma commissioners, if for no other reason than because, through sheer weight of numbers, the Colombians soon would con trol the administration of the reunited re public, and the situation as to Panama would be as it was before tho revolution and separation. Mr. Beuapre's status remains un changed so far as the officials here know, and notwithstanding the menacing tone of the notes addressed to him by tho Co lombian Minister for Foreign Affairs, as seat out in the press dispatches from Bogota, the Stat Department does not consider that there has been a breach in the relations between tne United States and Colombia. Thg fact that tho Colom bian legation here is still open for busi ness 'under Instructions from Bogota is confirmatory evidence 'of the fact that there has been no rupture of relations. Mr. Beaupre has Informed the Minister of Foreign Affairs that tho United States has recognized Panama, and has exer cised our good offices to patch up peace. The Colombian answer to this last prop osition has not yet been received. Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese Minister, called at the State Department today to officially notify Secretary Hay that hie government had authorized him to extend the recognition of China to the Panama Government GRATEFUL FOR COURTESY. General Reyes Has Hopes of Dealing With Panamans at Washington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.

Beforo his departure he Informed General Cogh lan that the Panama Government had cabled Dr. Amador to await his (Reyes) arrival.
