DISPATCH OCCURS AT ONCE
Minister Kurino Has Been Informed
of Stand to Be Taken and Has
Communicated With the
Mikado.
LONDON, Jan. 28. It -was made known
officially today that Russia had completed
her reply to Japan, and hat It will prob
ably be dispatched Saturday.
The Dally Mall professes to be able to
affirm that Russia's draft of her reply
has not yet been officially presented to
Japan, but that It has been communi
cated to M. Kurina, the Japanese Min
ister at St. Petersburg, who has trans
mitted the contents to Toklo, whence it
will be conveyed to the friendly powers.
The Russian reply Is courteous, the
Daily Graphic continues, but it refuses,'
In uncompromising- terms, to permit the
reinsertion in the draft of the treaty of
the two words, guaranteeing the integ
rity and independence of China, upon
which Japan insisted in her last note.
The clause proposed by Japan was that
Russia and Japan should mutually agree
to respect the integrity and independ
ence of China and Corea. Russia has
now stricken out twice the words
"China," and it is understood this will
close the negotiations.
It is probable, the Daily Graphic goes
on, that when this note has been pre
sented Japan will-notify Baron De Rosen,
the Russian Minister at Tokio, that she
has no alternative but to take up arms
In defense of her interests, and that M.
Kurino will be Instructed to demand his
passports. In the meantime instructions
have been sent to the two Japanese cruis
ers now at Colombo to proceed to Singa
pore, where, in the event of war being
declared, their crews will be paid off and
the vessels laid up.
There is nothing In the dispatches pub
lished this morning to sliow that the
statement of the Dally Graphic Is any
thing more than "intelligent anticipa
tion." The dispatch to the Associated
Press from St. Petersburg on the meet
ing of the Council state it is the latest
St. Petersburg news to reach liondon.
The Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph
both report in their St. Petersburg dis
patches the possibility of further nego
tiations, the Tolegraph saying that the
culmination of the crisis is not expected
before the beginning of March and re
porting a sudden rise on the. St Peters
burg Bourse. In a dispatch from Tokio.
a correspondent of the Times gives the
financial programme of the government
as follows:
First, a domestic loan of 100,000,000 yen
(560,000,000); second, the government to
draft into the treasury the local land
tax, amounting to 25,000,000 yen; third, an
increase of other taxes to yield 15,000,000
yen; fourth, suspension of public works
and administrative retrenchments,
amounting to 40,000.000 yen.
The total, 80,000,000 yen a year ob
tained by these last three measures, will
be devoted to the securing of war loans.
FRENCH VIEWS INCLINE TO WAR
Nation Agrees With America That
Joint Mediation Is Undesirable.
PARIS, Jan. 28. United States Ambas
sador Porter had another long talk
with Foreign Minister Delcasse today, go
ing over the latest phases of the Russo
Japaneso situation. M. Nelldoff, the
Russian Ambassador, and Prince von Ran
dolin, the Ambassador of Germany, called
at about the same time. The former firm
ly believes the Czar's Influence will lead to
a pacific adjustment, but other officials
of the Embassy do not share the Ambas
sador's views, and are inclined to believe
that war will result.
Prince Randolln, who was stationed at
Bt. Petersburg for a long time, and who
Is familiar with court influences, consid
ers that the war element is likely to get
the upper hand. Government opinion here
remains unchanged, the officials holding
that the situation is more warlike, but
that it has not passed beyond tho chance
of diplomatic adjustment "Jt can be as
serted positively that France shares the
views of the United States, British and
other governments, that no Joint media
tion is desirable, as )lt probably would
Irritate the situation, but that each power
should use its Influence through its own
diplomatic channels towards the mainte
nonce of peace.
REPLY WILti GO TOMORROW.
Russian Minister WU1. Present It to
the Czar Today. ,.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 28. Russia's
reply to the last Japanese note will prob
ably be dispatched Saturday, January 30,
It Is intimated semiofficially that the re
ply will be couched in pacific terms.
A special meeting of the Council of
State, under the presidency of the Grand
Duke Alexis, considered the answer for
an hour and a half today, and reached
conclusions which will be drafted for
submission to th Czar's final approval,
Among those present were Foreign Min
ister Lamsdorff. War Minister Kuropat-
Uin, Vice-Admiral Avellane, head of the
executive chief of the committee of the
Far East; General Sakharoff, chief of the
army staff, and M. Hartwig. chief of the
palace division.
Grand Duke Alexis will draft the ro
port, which, it is believed, will receive
the signatures of the members of the
Council and bo sent to the Czar tomor
row.
No Concessions In Manchuria.
LONDON, Jan. 2S. The London Dally
Mall prints a dispatch from its corre
spondrnt at St Petersburg stating that
the Russian reply will concede the Jap
anese demands. In so far as they relate
to Corea. but will refuse to make any
concessions in Manchuria.

cession in Corea..
The Pekln correspondent of the Times
cables that Tseng -Chi, Tartar General of
Mukden, has telegraphed the foreign
board at Pekln that the Russians have
demanded that he supply 500 carts for
Immediate service. The board replied
that owing to China's decision of neu

FOREIGNERS' TlVES IN PERIL.
Coreans at Pyeng Yang Are Openly
Threatening Violence.
, NEW YORK, Jan. 28. The native dis
turbance at Pyeng Yang is increasing,
says a Herald dispatch from Seoul, Corea.
The secret rebel society knows as the
Tonghaks is openly threatening foreigners
.and the overthrow of the present dynasty.
The Tonghaks were prominent factors in
causing the Chlno-Japanese War of 1894.
Some 300 Japanese and many Americans
reside at Pyeng Yang, but the American
Minister does not expect immediate dan
ger. Cabinet changes continue. Pak Chi
Sun, the Corean Minister to China, has
been recalled, to become Foreign Minis
ter. Russia is building a telegraph line from
Antung to form a connection with the
Russian wires now operating on the China
Eastern Railway. The Corean government
has wires from Seoul to "Wlju. This ar
rangement will enable Russia to cable to
Seoul without using Japanese wires, and
obtain telegraph service between Port
Arthur and the Yalu River.
PREDICTS WAR NEXT MONTH.
Japanese Editor Is Confident His
Country Will Win.
SEATTLE, Jan. 2S. Not only is war
unavoidable In the Orient, but It will oc
cur before the end of February. This is
the opinion expressed by H. Hashi, pub
lisher of the New York Japan and Ameri
ca, who arrived in this city today after
a year's stay in Japan; He said in an
interview:
"Russia will not agree to the proposed
terms and a conflict Is. therefore, in
evitable. I believe it will occur within
30 days. I saw the Japanese troops leave
for Corea and at . that time Japan had
30,000 soldiers in that country. Japan .will
certainly defeat Russia, both on land and
water. A Japanese army will be poured
Into Manchuria and the Russians will
be jriven across the border."
while In Japan Mr. Hashl was brought
into close contact with Government au
thorities and thoroughly understands the
situation.
