FALSE, SAYS JAPAN
Plain Answerto Charges Made
by Russia.
AS TO CHINESE NEUTRALITY
Every Point In Russian Note to Pow
ers Is Answered and Retort Is
Made Citing Many Viola
tions by Russia.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. The Japan
ese government has made verbal de
nial to the State Department here,
and. It is understood, to other so.vern
meats, of the Russian charges of the
violation of Chinese neutrality during
the present war.
The Japanese statement, just made
public, is couched in strong language.
It says, while It is not Japan's duty to
defend China in this case, yet, so far
as the good faith and loyalty of Japan
la called Into question, the authorities
of the country feel bound to repl the
charges. These arc taken up seriatim,
beginning with the Rycshitelni Inci
dent, which the verbal note declared
waa nothing more than the adoption
by Japan of Just and inevitable meas
ures of self-defense made necessary by
Russia's violation of the neutrality of
China.
The charges that Chinese brigands
mere commanded by Japanese officers
aad enrolled in their army, and that
Japanese, military instructors wero
with the' Chinese soldiers on the bor
der, la declared to be without any
foundation whatever, and Russia is
challenged to produce any evidence In
support of this charge.
It Is denied that Japan has used the
Miatao Islands as a naval base, hut
tt Is declared that Russia has so used
the Islands aud that a Japanese mer
ekaatman was sunk In the Island
waters last March by a Russian man-of-war.
The Japanese admit they have pro
cured war supplies from Chefoo. but
Insist that these came through private
partlea and that the transactions were
legitimate, while Russia It Is alleged,
kas fitted out and loaded a ship In
Chinese wuters in flagrant violation of
Chinese neutrality.
It Is denied that pig Iron was sup
plied to the Japanese army by the
Chinese government shops at Hang
yang and this Ij also said to have been
a legitimate transaction between Indi
viduals. Respecting the charge that
China Is rcriously preparing to engage
In the war. the note says:
lt Is difficult to Imagine how It
would be possible to frame charges
more mlschevious or more remote from
actual facts than these. That the CM
une are making vreparatlons of this
kind is entirely destitute of truth and
there Is no anti-foreign movement In
Chhta. From the beginning Japan has
urged China to maintain neutrality
and protect foreigners. It Is abundant
ly clear that the motive of the Rus
sian government In formulating base
Jess accusations was to relieve them
selves of an engagement, terms of
which, with the progress of the war.
on longer inured mainly to their ad
vantage." The note is supported by a detailed
statement under eight heads. Intended to
show wherein Russia, on her part, has
violated Chine neutrality. "Briefly
atated. these Incidents are connected with
the alleged appropriation by Russia of
Manchuria n military stores and pro
visions, the charter of the German mer
chant steamer Fooplng. at Chefoo, to
carry Russian arms; the dispatch of
3.6i.(O0 small-arm cartridges from Kalgan
to Port Arthur, the establishment of
wireless telegraph communications be
tween Port Arthur and Chefoo: the delay
f the Russian gunboat Mandjur In dis
arming at Shanghai; the flight of Rus
sian soldiers and sailors from the
Rycstttteln! when they were reported to
be Interned; the aid extended at Chefoo
to Rurslan soldiers fleeing from Port
Arthur and the maintenance of a large
Russian force in the region west of
IJaeho in violation of the agreement to
limit the theater of war..
ALL AGREE WITH HAY. ,
Great Powers Isolate Russia on Ques
tion of Chinese Neutrality.
BERLIN. Jan. 30. The Russian govern
ment's reply to China's declaration that
she has net Infringed neutrality, nor per
mitted Japan to do so. la a reassertlon
that she lias done so. The Russian note,
which was communicated to the powers
Saturday, gives specifications of what are
affirmed to be violations of neutrality,
but the tone of the reply is such that It Is
Inferred that Rusaia la not likely to carry
tke discussion much further.
It Is learned here that Russia found that
all the powers, particularly Germany, held
views Identical with those of the United
States on limiting the zone of war and
keeping China out of it.
GROWL FROM THE BEAR.
Hay's Note Blunts Claws Aimed at
China's Vitals.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 00. The No-
I vostt says Secretary Hay's note on the
j subject of China will be interpreted in
i differeat ways.
it promises the belligerents agreeable
prospects. If other cabinets come to an
agreement with Washington It may bap
pen that neither Russia nor Japan will get
tke slightest advantage from the war.
Other powers are preparing to set up
claims in case peace Is declared. These
paera have suddenly conceived a desire
to preserve China's integrity and neu
trality under any circumstances. Their
solicitude comes a little late."
RUSSIAN ACTIVITY CEASES.
Attempt to Turn Japanese Left Seems
' to Be Abandoned.
TOKIO. Jan. .90. (1:30 A. M.) Russian
I activity on the Shakbe River seemed to
j kave ceased- after the fights at Chenchl
i ekpao and Helkoutai. where the Japa
j aeae were victorious. The object of the
I operations Is sot clearly understood here.
but It Is suggested that the Russians
! either lateaded to turn the Japanese left
aad move a heavy force down west of the
U4U jinn, ui ric srcJuiiK iu Ul vert
a tt ration from some projected operation
agalast the Japanese right.
It is reported that the weather Is
warmer since January 2. but It is still
extremely cold, so that it Is impossible
to expose the troops at night.
The Teklo press expresses the opinion
that General Kuropatkln either ordered
the movement to divert attention from
the domestic conditions In' Russia, or that
he had planned to make a fight before
Field Marshal Oyama had been heavily
reinforced.
Maneburiaa army headquarters tele
graphing yesterday says: "There has
been so great change In the direction of
the right and center armies since the
night of January 2S. except constant
collisions between reconnolterisg parties.
In the direction of the left army the
eacmy keeps up a slow but constant can
nonade. The array's aisin body at Chenchl eh-
pao and Heikontal seems- to have re
treated in the direction, of Keinyupae;
which is two miles west of Chaagtaa and'
SubfangtaL At & point ten miles north
west of Changtan the enemy left many
dead."
The details of the fighting at Chenchl
chpao and Heikontal have net yet been
reported. '
RUSSIAN PLAN IS FOILED.
Aim Was to Take Sandepas and Then
Outflank Japanese.
RUSSIAN HEATQUARTERS. Huan

Kuropatkln's latest offensive movement
waa to capture the Important position at
Sandcpas, on the left bank of the Hun
River, and thereby outflank the Japanese
from the Shakhe River, and enable the
Russian army to undertake a general
advance. At Sandepas the Japanese oc
cupied a strongly fortified position com
manding the triangle formed by the con
fluence of the Hun snd Shakhe Rivers.
The Japanese had erected a fort cf a
permanent type, with triple earthworks
and trenches extending In a southwest
erly direction. Several villages to the
northeast were also fortified strongly.
The positions were held by 12 battalions
of Japanese, partly drawn from General
NogTs army and partly reserves. The
Russians carried the first line of en
trenchments, but were unable to main
tain tnclr position on the outskirts of
Sandepas, In the face of fierce cannonad
ing. The fighting was transferred westward.
The Japanese center attacked with a bri
gade of Infantry, endeavoring to envelop
the Russians, but the cavalry protecting
the Russian flank drove back the Japan
ese with heavy loss. Ar counter 'attack
on the villages cajrtu'red by the Russians
at the outseXoMhe fight was also beaten
off. but at the cost to the Russians of
severarMkousand killed or wounded. In
cluding General Mlstchenko, who was
wounded In the knee. The heaviest suf
ferers were the newly arrived brigade of
riflemen.
The official report of the fighting at
Houlltadzy and Hugounda. January 25
and January 26. says there were 43 offi
cers and 1(50 men killed and wounded. A

GENERAL OKU'S HEADQUARTERS.
Jan. 29 (Noon, via Fusan. delayed. Yes
terday (Saturday) afternoon the Japanese
began a fierce bombardment with artillery
and muaketry along the whole line. The
fighting was kept up until midnight and
was resumed at dawn today, continuing
until noon. The Russian reply waa feeble.
A movement of the Japanese left wing
for tho purpose of surrounding' and cut
ting off the Russians la the neighborhood
of Pokowtai Is progressing slowly, as the
resistance is stubborn.
Should the Russian force be cut off It
will result in leaving General Kuropat
kln's right flank unprotected.
GENERAL OKU'S HEADQUARTERS.
Jon. 29 (7 P. Mv. via Fusan. delayed In
transmission.) Two divisions of Japanese
troops attacked Pokowakl and drove four
divisions of the Russians across the Hun
River. Six hundred Russians were cap
tured. The Russians are making a stand
across the river.
One Russian division made several at
tacks on Santanpu. to the cast, but was
driven back with a loss of over 4000.
The Japanese bombarded the entire Rus
sian line. The Russians replied feebly,
showing little activity.
