FLEET REGAINS VLADIVOSTOK Russians Slip by the Japanese Dur ing a Fog. LONDON, April 29. The Dally Tele graph's Toklo correspondent asserts that the Russian cruisers slipped past the Japanese squadron during a fog and re gained tho harbor of Vladivostok. This is the only additional news that has reached London concerning the Vladivos tok squadron. No further details have been received regarding the sinking of the Japanese transport Klnshiu Maru. There Is some inclination to criticize harshly the action of Rear-Adrairal Yeszen, but most of this morning's papers prefer to await par ticulars of the affair before passing judg ment upon it. The report that the Japanese have oc cupied Kieullencheng has not yet been confirmed. According to the Standard's Tientsin correspondent, the whole country outside the great wall Is abnormally flooded, and any movement of the land forces Is im practicable for the present. A special dispatch from Port Arthur says the demonstration made by Japanese torpedo-boats, covered by a Japanese squadron off Port Arthur yesterday morn ing, was for tho purpose of creating a scare and inducing the batteries to waste their ammunition, but the Russians re frained from answering the Japanese fires. The Copenhagen correspondent of the Morning Post says there are rumors that Russia Is negotiating for the purchase of the Danish liners Hekla, Norge and Island. '6AYS JAPAN MUST HOLD ALOOF Member of Army Staff Holds That America Is Not Her Friend. LIAO YANG, April 2S. Major Togo Tatzozero, a member of the general staff of the Japanese army, who is a prisoner here, having been captured at Wiju, where he has lived since January last, said to the Associated Press today: "The Russians will be driven as far as Baikal. Further than this we do not wish to go, but we will return to Man churia and open it to tho trade of the world. "Our people are certain that they can beat tho Russians, but I think we began hostilities 50 years too soon. We are not prepared for such a serious war. "Japan wishes, above everything else, to command tho sea, and she will then be free from fear of invasion and loss of territory. With the complete destruc tion of tho Russian fleet, we bellevo the "war will end. "Japan's alliance with Great Britain was a stupid act, and it will bo of no service to us. "We know perfectly well that the Americans were never our friends, be cause In the Far East they were always our opponents. We are afraid that If Japan Is victorious the British and the Americans only will benefit. It would be foolish for Japan to ally herself with 1 j .w f J U'li tho United States, because the Americans do not Intend to help us, but rather -wish to exploit us." ONLY DANGER WITH CHINA. Spontaneous Rising of the People Must Be Guarded Against. PARIS, April 28. Mr. Souen, tho Chi nese Minister, in an Interview today, said his government could not view with sat is faction Russia's Indefinite occupation of Manchuria, but it was determined to maintain good relations with the Russian government. "War, the Minister said, was not desired at Pekln. "China has no interest in attacking Russia," said tho Minister. "We are fully aware that intervention might cause dan gerous complications, the outcome of which would be fatal to China herself. Whatever our sympathies may be, we will not launch our country into a wild ad venture. "Our trained troops near the Great "Wall do not exceed 20,000. and it is not with such a force that the Russian army could be conquered. Japanese aid would not help us much, and, morever, tho court Is not anxious to Introduce the Japanese army Into China. "At the same time, it is certain that the masses are favorable to Japan. Our gov ernment's solo care, according to my latest advices, is to restrain popular ex citement, and the strictest orders have been given to the local authorities to use even unaccustomed rigor for the purpose of preventing risings. Tho only danger of complications lies in a spontaneous ris ing of the people." HER RULES OF WAR HUMANE. Japan the First Country to Give Ef fect to The Hague Code. WASHINGTON, April 2S.
