ALL THE NATIONS OF EUBOPE ARE AFRAID TO WREST FROM RUSSIA THE PROVINCE OF MANCHURIA. London, Oct. 14. The Japanese Govern ment has issued a denial of the reports of the im niineuce of war with Russia in a dispatch from Tokio, dated yesterday, and sent to Japanese Min isters abroad. It says: "The negotiations concerning Mauchurian and Corean questions are following their normal course aud there is no reason to anticipate a rup ture between Japan and Russia. The alarmist reports enrrent abroad are devoid of foundation." Port Arthur, Oct. 14. The review by the Viceroy, Admiral Alexieff, Sunday, of 76,000 sol diers participating in the maneuvers, was the fi nal act of last week's "war game." This force was massed on the plains outside of the city. It included cavalry, iufautry and attillery. Every infantry regiment is partly mounted, in accord ance with the receut regulatious. Foreigners wore given every opportunity to witness the dis play, and the statements of officers regarding the total force were verified by the count of the visit ing experts. It was also officially announced that the entire force within easy operating distance of Port Arthur numbers 100,000 men. Two months ago it was 60,000 men. Sunday's spectacle dem onstrated that the reports regarding reinforce ments arriving in Manchuria have underestimated the real increase. The army assembled Sunday was greater than the Pekiu diplomatists believed Russia's en tire force in Mauchuria to be. Officials here arc taking pains to advertise Russia's strength, and pioclaim that the maneuvers are intended as an object lesson. Alexieff, speaking to an American official, said: "War would be a great calamity. Here we believe that the best way to prevent it would be to strengthen ourselves as much as possible. Therefore, we have left no steps untaken for that purpose." The details of the maneuveis were kept secret, but the correspondent of the Associated Press learned that the lauding forces at Ta Lieu Wan Bay were repulsed. It is reported that the attacking army broke through Port Atthur's de fenses at three points. Two battle-ships and two cruisers are on their way here trom Russia. When they arrive Russia's naval forcss on this station will be strong er than Japan's, according to the views of the Rus sian oflicers. Anticipation of wai is at fever heat in the army aud navy, but this is based entirely the ac tivity of the preparations visible everywhere. The higher officials believe that Japan has been over awed by the demonstration on Russia's part. No steps toward the evacuation of Man churia have been taken. The official journal, the editor of which is a Colonel ou the Viceroy's staff, says none will be takeu. The Governors of East Siberia are here, consulting with the Viceroy for the purpose of ar ranging a new division of territory beyond the Amur, into three provinces. The reports that a Chinese army had assembled in the rear of Muk deu are not confirmed. War Rumors Have Blown Over. Berlin, Oct. 15. The rumors of war in the Far East have for tho present, so far as Berlin is concerned, been quite blown away by the official reassurances from all sides. Yet it is recognized that the negotiations going on aro of supremo im portance, and that they may reach a dangerous deadlock, or be terminated by Japan, which is re garded as being determined to reach a favorable understanding with Russia or take warlike step?. Japanese Can Shoot. Victoria, B. C, Oct. 14. A Pekin dis patch tells of a shooting competition between picked teams from the British, American and Jap anese legations at the Chinese capital. The Japanese won, with the American second. The officer commanding the Americans complimouted the Japanese on their good shooting. Marines For Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, Oct. 14. One thousand marines belouging to the Battle fleet left St. Petersburg today for Port Arthur. An Associated Press correspondent writes at length on the subject of the Turkish outrages in Bulgaria among other things he Bays: There is no question that the Turks have been practicing brutalities upon the Christians in Dubnitza. I saw hundreds of refugees who had fled from their homes through the forests from the destroying Turk. I visited a hut occupied by the remnant of a family. On entering I heard a wail ing cry of a suffering child. A woman seated on the floor was busy stem ming tobacco. Two children were crouching near her, one a pretty child of 4 and the other younger. The latter was wailing. I have never seen a more pitiful bit of humanitj . She was simply a living skeleton. Her little hands were like bird claws, crooked and helpless, like those of a dead bird. The mother told me her story. She said their village had been burnt by Turks and her husband slaughtered. She and her children escaped and fled. For five week3 she and her children hid in the forest, and although her village wa3 not far from the frontier. It took her five weeks to reach the frontier and safety. The child became ill from starvation and eating roots. I saw other refuges. All told the same story. I had a long talk with a woman who had a baby in her arms. She said the Turks had begun to outrage the women of her village. Then all the young women fled from the village in one night. The Turks flogged the men who re mained for revenge. I interviewed a group of men re fugees. They were apparently simple peasants. All of the group of thir teen except one had been beaten by the Turks. One peasant was beaten only a few days ago. He showed me the marks of punishment. It was a terrible exhibition. I asked the men for what reason they were given the flogging. They said the reason given by the Turk3 was to make them tell where bombs and arms where hidden. The men said if they left the village temporarily to avoid flogging their women were outraged. If they attempt to escape while being flogged sentries shoot them down. One man had his legs broken to com pel him to tell about alleged buried arms. This was the Turks method of tor ture. Being pinioned, he was forced to kneel down. A long piece of tim ber was placed under his shins and another behind his calves.- The ends of both were securelv lashed. Men stood on the timbers thus formed. Then two Turks bent his body back, throwing their entire weight on his chest until, after terrible agony, his legs snapped. I made him strip to verify his tale. It was horribly ob vious. There was no exaggeration about it. Another refugee had his arm broken. Another told me he had been tied naked to a tree twenty-four hours, while his wife was carried away under his eyes by bashi-bazouks. In a simple, wistful way, as if I, being a stranger, might have good news, they asked, "Do you think the Rus- ainno vAW enmn nfrain f n liln nsT It makes any man's blood boil to see that the only interference of the powers is to lecture and threaten Bulgarians who had helped their brothers.
