the Republic of Panama, bat intimating
a dpslre to extend that recognition Joint
ly -with the government of Chile in order
that it might carry greater moral force.
The official paper says the foregoing- lacks
foundation, for the Mexican government
has addressed no note on the subject to
the government of Chile. It has done
nothing more than endeavor through its
representatives to ascertain the sentiment
and policy of other governments of this
continent regarding the matter 'without
endeavoring to act In concert "with any
of them.
SAYS SHE BROKE TREATY
Her Minister Recalled From
Montenegrin Capital.
BULGARIA MAKES STATEMENT
She Insists on Desire for Peace and
Accuses Turkey of Trying to
Provoke War New Turkjsh
Cruiser From Cramp's.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. ZL The dip
lomatic relations between Turkey and
Montenegro are strained almost to the
breaking point, and the Porte has with
drawn her Minister from Cettlnje.
The whole trouble grew out of the trip
of a Montenegrin war vessel up the Boy-
ana River. This action, according to the
Turkish Foreign Office, was in direct -vio
lation of the treaty of Berlin, and Ahmed
Fevzl Pasha, the Turkish Minister, with
his entire legation staff, was recalled.
"What further action Turkey will take
has not as yet been decided xm.
POSITION OF BULGARIA.
She Desires Peace, but Turkey Trlea
to Provoke War.
PARIS, Feb. 2L M. Zoltovitz, the Bul
garian agent In Parts, made the follow
ing statement today:
"I can give the most formal assurances
that Bulgaria has more than ever resolved
to do nothing to compromise the peace.
It is with great satisfaction we have seen
the powers elaborate a plan for reforms in
Macedonia, and we wish, without any res
ervation, the reforms realized. Above all.
at this moment, when the powers are fol
lowing with anxiety the events in the
.Far East, Bulgaria will avoid doing any
thing that would cause the belief that she
proposes to profit by the crisis. The Bui
garlan people have unanimously expressed
warm sympathy for Russia.
"It is unfortunate that Turkey persists
In her regrettable hostility. Besides the
annoying police measures she has taken
against our people, our commerce suffers
serious obstacles; and finally, the contln
' tied concentration of Turkish troops along
our frontier and the mobilization of troops
at strategic points is menacing us."
M. Zoltovitz said there is a war party In
Constantinople which has a preponderat
Ing Influence, and quoted from consular
reports to the effect that the Turks fear a
military insurrection If war with Bulgaria
Is not declared.
"In the light of these facts," M. Zolto
vitz concluded. "It is natural that Bul
garia, too, should be preparing."
The Turkish Embassy is authorized to
state categorically that the Ottoman gov
ernmcnt has not given any orders for the
mobilization of troops. '-'
It is understood the powers are consider
lng simultaneous representations to Con"
stantinoplc and Sofia to compel a limita
tion of armament.
HURRIED TO TURKEY.
Cruiser Built at Cramp's Will Try
Guns on Voyage.
PHILiAD1;l.PHIA, Fob. 21. Tho cruiser
Medjedla, built for the Imperial Ottoman
navy at Cramp's, is under hurry orders
to got home. She will leave here on March
1 and will carry her own flag. It had been
intended to take the vessel to Constantino
pie and deliver her there to the Turkish
naval authorities, hut a change in this
plan was found necessary and the 6hjp will
be put in commission and unfurl her flag
at this port.
Captain Ransford D. Bucknam, of
Cramp's shipyard, who will take the
cruiser across, has been commissioned, a
Captain In the Ottoman navy, and will put
her in commission. It will also be neces
sary to commission the other officers.
The Medjadia will leave port fully ready
for a naval engagement. Her guns, all of
the latest pattern in use in the United
States Navy, were made at Bethlehem,
Pa. All are practically in place. The mag-
azln.es are to be filled with ammunition
as if for a war cruise.. As soon as the
cruiser reaches the sea, the trial of all
her guns will be begun. This will be made
practically thorough.
In view of the haste with which tho
builders have been charged to deliver the
ehlp, only two stops will be made on tho
long run to Constantinople. The trip will
require about 20 days and It may be that
a final speed test will be made somewhere
off tho Ieland-of Crete.
The exact cause of the hurry orders has
not yet been explained.
Peace Restored In Albania.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Fob. 2L Shemshl
Pasha has telegraphed the Porte that or

and that the Albanians are dispersing.
KING EDWARD IS LAME.
Stumbles While Inspecting Cruiser
Cumberland and Injures Leg.
NEW YORK. Feb. 22. While Inspect
ing the cruiser Cumberland. King Edward
has been much inconvenienced by the in
juries resulting from a fall, says a dis
patch to the American from Portsmouth,
England.
The King visited Portsmouth in the
course of a social Inspection of the naval
stations and decided to make a detailed
tour of the Cumberland. He was walking
under the armored deck when, although
the ship was brilliantly illuminated with
electric lights, the King's foot struck the
sill of a compartment door and he
stumbled and pitched forward. In his
fall he injured his leg, but. when assist
ed to his feet, declared the hurt was
slight. He limped ashore almost unaided.
but later complained of pain.

Japan Demands Expulsion of Rus
sian Gunboat From Shanghai.
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE LONDON' TIMES
AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN.
SHANGHAI. Feb. 2L There Is a possi
bility of complications arising over the
action of the government in consenting
to permit a Russian gunboat to be dis
mantled and tied up here to wait the end
of the war.
Last evening the Japanese Consul per
sonally -visited the Chinese Governor of
Shanghai and demanded that he direct the
Commander of the Mandjur to leave the
port in 24 hours. The Taotal (Governor)
went at once to the Russian Consul and
told him that the warship must leave port
within a reasonable time, as It was a vio
lation of neutrality for her to remain,
even though her guns were removed and
she wer. tied up for the remainder of
the war. The Russian Consul replied that
he had no authority to order the vessel
to sail and referred the Chinese officers
to the Russian Minister at Pekln.
Later he informed the Taotal that the
gunboat was in the harbor under an ar
rangement approved by the Chinese gov
ernment and that she must be allowed to
remain.
Under the arrangements, he declared.
the Mandjur was to be considered a. non
combatant and would remain stationary
through the war.
The Japanese Consul was notified of
this arrangement and expressed his dis
satisfaction In emphatic terms: He de
clared the action of China in permitting
the vessel to remain In port was without
precedent and in direct violation of neu
trality. The Japanese Consul maintained
that the presence of a Russian warship
In a neutral port was prejudicial to the
re-establishment of regular merchant serv
ice with Japanese ports. The Taotal has
taken no action on this latest protest.
FIRING NEAR PORT ARTHUR.
Russia Fears Torpedo-Boats Gar
rison Confident of Victory.
PORT ARTHUR, Feb. 2L-Sounds of
desultory firing at sea are heard almost
nightly and this morning firing was
again heard. This is doubtless due to the
attempted approach of Japanese torpedo
boats, but nothing serious has developed.
The garrison Is in excellent spirits and
is firmly convinced of the ultimate success
of the Russian arms.
The Novkral prints a long article invok
ing historical precedents to prove the Il
legality of the Japanese declaration that
fuel and victuals will in all cases be
treated as contraband of war. The paper
describes Japan's attitude as presumption
and urges tho neutral powers to disre
gard It.
TO PREVENT JAPS LANDING.
But Russians Are on Defensive and
: Try to Raise Battleships.
CHEFOO. Feb. 2L The Russian forces
in Manchuria are so far acting entirely on
the defensive. Extensive preparations are
being made at Dalny, Port Arthur. NIu
Chwang and Lla Yang to prevent the
threatened landing of the Japanese troops.
A big force of men Is at work on .the
damaged vessels In the Port Arthur har
bor and efforts are being made to raise tho
battleship Retvizan.
The supply of fresh vegetables and beef
In Port Arthur Is getting very- short and
speculators are endeavoring to secure
steamers to run the blockade.
Japanese Do Not Fear Offensive
Movement French Action at
Jibuti Condemned ' Kai
ser's Offer to Mikado.
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE OREGONIAN.
LONDON, Feb. 2L The Tokio dispatch
of the London Times confirms the report
published Sunday morning that the Si
berian squadron of the Russian navy had
again left Vladivostok. The four armored
cruisers are apparently trying to locate
the Japanese lnterlsland cables in order
to cut them and thus Interrupt communi
cation between the various military cen
ters.
The correspondent states that while the
indications point to the fact that Russian
land forces have penetrated south of the
Yalu River, yet they do not Intend to in
augurate an offensive movement Immedi
ately. Rather, It is believed, the Russian
commander Is simply taking the usual pre
caution of sending out strong scouting
parties to protect his front, and. If pos
sible, to locate the Japanese advance.
Regret Is expressed In Japan at tho at
tltude of France In not enforcing the neu
trality principles of International law. By
permitting the Russian squadron to re
main at Jlbutll, France permitted the es
tablishment of a secondary base by Rus
sia on French territory-
It is announced that a change has been
made In the Japanese Cabinet whereby the
position of Home Secretary, which has
been vacant, has been filled. At the re
quest of the Emperor, it is said, Count
Yosklawa has accepted the portfolio
Count Inoyouye has been made a personal
adviser to the throne, thus giving him
direct access to His Majesty at any time.
The Qllkado has addressed a message of
congratulation to Rear-Admiral Nag!, who
commanded the destroyer squadron which
made the night attack In the face of a
snow storm on the Russian squadron In
Port Arthur harbor on Sunday, February
14.
Emperor William of Germany has sent
a direct message to the Mikado, in which
he tenders for the use of the Japanese
wounded the German hospitals at Yoko
hama and Klaochou. This action is most
appreciated throughout the empire.
AFTER JAPANESE SHIPS.
Russian Fleet of Destroyers Stops
British Steamer in Red Sea.
ADEN, Feb. 2L The Peninsula & Ori
ental Company's steamer Mongolia en
countered on Saturday night, 450 miles
north of Aden a Russian battleship and
four torpedo-boat destroyers. After the
vain attempt of a destroyer to cut oft
the Mongolia, all the warships gave
chase, but. being unable to overtake her.
they signaled her to stop. The Mongolia
obeyed and a destroyer, after a close
scrutiny, signaled: "Beg to be excused."
The fleet Is evidently hoping to capture
Japanese ships.
ALL MILLER'S EFFORTS FAIL.
Japanese Refugees Have a Weary
Time at NIu Chwang.
YINKOW, Feb. 2L All United States
Consul Miller's efforts to arrange for his
representative to meet the Japanese refu
gees at Nlu Chwang have failed. The
obstacles which the vice-regal and civil
administrations placed In his way seemed
to Indicate that It Is the Intention of the
authorities to control and remove the ref
ugees so as to prevent their lodging com
plaints and laying evidence of their treat
ment before foreigners.
JAPANESE FLEET BUSY.

PARIS, Feb. 22. In a dispatch from
Harbin, the correspondent of the Matin
says that half of the Japanese fleet is
covering tho landing of troops in Corea
and the other half is seeking the Vladi
vostok squadron.
France Raises Technical Point.
PARIS. Feb. 2L While Franco has ac
ceded to the British proposal for the ex
tension of neutrality by China, to all
points In China" leased by the powers,
save those occupied by Russia, the For
eign Office says that such action in no
wise impairs tho rights of the powers
under their leases. The question has been
brought up that the British proposal
tended to reaffirm Chinese sovereignty
over the points occupied as well as over
foreign municipalities, but the view of
the French authorities is that there is
no change in the status of these torritor
ies in consequence of the extension of
Chinese neutrality to them.
Americans in Corea Need Protection.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2L H. C. Perkins,
of this city, president of the Oriental
Consolidated Mining Company, employing
about 100 Americans in Corea. has made

ANOTHER RUSSIAN SHIP LOST.
She Ran on Rocks and Sank Ger
man Vessel Fired On.
CHEFOO. Feb. 22. The Captain of the
German steamer Pronto. Just arrived
from Dalny, says positively that besides
the torpedo gunboat Yenesel, accidentally
destroyed by one of her own mines, the
Russians have lost another ship by ac
cldent on February 12. This was a small
cruiser whose name was not learned. In
avoiding some mines she ran upon rocks.
from which she eventually slipped oft
Into deep water and sank. There was no
loss of life.
The Russian authorities Insist that there
s no truth in the story that 1000 Japan
ese, landed at Pigeon of Dove Bay, had
been annihilated. Port Arthur Is said
to be entirely out of "beef and vegetables
and Is drawing on Dalny for a slight sup
ply. Troops are being rushed towards
the Yalu with all expedition possible.
The Pronto was sent from Port Ar
thur to Dalny for refugees, chiefly Ja
panese women. While leaving Port Ar
thur with all lights out, sho was fired
upon by a Russian cruiser, 15 shots strik
ing her upper works. It was subsequent
ly explained that she was mistaken for
a Japanese torpedo-boat. The entrance
to Dalny is honeycombed with mines.
Nothing was seen on the passage to this
port of either the Russian or Japanese
fleets.

ITALY PUNISHES FAKERS.
Circulators of False War Rumors
Fined or Imprisoned.
ROME, Feb. 2L Rumors of warlike
preparations by Italy having been clrcu
lated, a semi-official communication has
emanated from the government, which Is
In substance as follows:
"Stories of alleged armaments and of
tho movements of warships and troops for
service abroad aro entirely false. Indica
tions exist that this false news is con
nected with Stock Exchange speculation,
and those responsible have been brought
before tho law courts to be punished ac
cording to the law, with Imprisonment for
from 3 to SO months."
The communication evidently alludes to
the Insistence by a portion of the press
that Italv will be antagonistic to Austria
In the Balkans and to the predictions of
International complications, thus causing
a fall in Italian bonds and a rise in the
exchange In gold.
CHINA CANT KEEP OUT.
Her Minister Predicts She Will Be

NEW YORK, Feb. 22. An Interview at
tributed to the Chinese Minister here
quotes that diplomat, says a .World dis
patch from Berlin, as having proclaimed
that China's neutrality is only temporary;
that no one, even the astutest diplomats,
can tell what change a day will bring
forth In China's attitude. The Minister Is
quoted as having said:
"It should never ce forgotten tnat tne
war will bo fought out In Manchuria, on
Chinese territory and that the excitement
of tho Chinese people will Increase as the
war progresses. Naturally, therefore, the
Chinese government may be expected on
any day to decide that its continued neu
trality Is neither possible nor desirable.
"Thirty thousand weil-drllled Chinese
troops are already stationed in the Prov
ince of Chill ready at a. moment's notice
from' Pekln to enter Manchuria.
"Our nation admires the Japanese and
sympathises decidedly with their efforts."

NEW YORK, Feb. 22. A dispatch to
the Herald from St. Petersburg hazards
the forecast that some morning the Rus
sian Black Sea fleet may be unexpectedly
found In the Mediterranean, Turkey be
ing assured that this once an accomplished
fact not one of the powers would have a
word to say In objection. Diplomatic ne
gotiations toward this end are alleged to

Such egress from the Black Sea would
release the big armored ships Knlazpo

12,000 tons; the Dvlenadzat Apostolov and
the Rostlslav, about 9000 tons each; 10 tor
pedo catchers and about 20 torpedo-boats
a force which would turn the vital ques
tion of the command of the sea In the Far
East in favor of Russia.
Trans-Caucasian troops are being mob
