BRITAIN READY TO STRIKE.
Would Have Smashed Rojectvensky if
Togo Had Lost.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 6. The remark
able allegation that the British fleet
was held in readiness to destroy ths
Russian fleet, if the battle of the Sea of
Japan bad gone in the Russians favor,
is made by Admiral Rojestvensky in a
letter published in the Novoe v remys
today with the permission of the min
ister of marine.
Referring to the absolute secrecy of
Admiral Togo in regard to the disposi
tion of his forces, Rojestvensky de
clares that "this was unknown even to
the admiral of the British fleet allied
with the Japanese, who concentrated
his forces at Wei Hai Wei, in expecta
tion of receiving an order to annihilate
the Russian fleet, if this, the final ob
ject of Great Britain, was beyond ths
power of the Japanese."
From Admiral Rojestvensky's ac
count of his tactics in the battle ot ths
Sea of Japan, the reader is almost
convinced that the Russian commander
outmaneuvered Admiral Togo at every
point, and was himself ths real victor.
He delares' he knew Admiral Togo's
exact whereabouts two days before the
battle, made his disposition according
ly and entered the fight with his eyes
open.
Mr. Spring-Rice, the British charge
d'affairs, without waiting for instruc
tions from his government, demanded

Lamsdorff this afternoon of the state
ments contained in the admiral's letter
to the Novoe Vremya.

Three Regiments at Manila Ready to
Sail Boycott Expands into
Hatred of Americana,
Washington, Jan. 8. The govern
ment will not admit that It Is worried
over the situation In China, but it is
known that conditions there are caus
ing grave concern. It is reported that
three regiments at Manila have been
ordered held in readiness to proceed to
China at once. Every preparation is
being made to protect American life
and property In the empire.
Grave reports ot unrest have come
from consuls. Private advices received
are not so conservative as the official
ones. They express the fear that an
uprising worse than the Boxer revolu
tion will break out before many months.
The boycott inflamed Chinese animosi
ty against the Americans. When the

the step from commercial to personal
hatred was but a short one.
The situation is represented by high
authority is much graver than has been
intimated by the State department.

kind ot a Democrat ha really was. He
talked ot the Philippines and favored
the pending bill ; he discussed the gen

the German tariff situation. He re
viewed William J. Bryan's record on
silver and paid his respects in charac
teristic oratory to Republican leaders.

tary Shaw, whose record as secretary of
the Treasury included, he said, class
fylng frogs' legs ss poultry and ponies
as "household articles" for the collec
tion ot revenue was a logical Republi
can presidential possibility, nnless the

dynastic. , ,,:

schools for the education of women,
under the direction oi several princess
