TURKU-RUSSIAN WAR IS IMMINENT II FOR THE RIDDLE Underlying Causn of Pacific fleet's Long Cruiso Finally Figured Out.

Washington, Feb. 17 Tha preser vation of the entity of China by being in a position to emphatically protest against any proposed Japanese ag greaalona in Manchuria, it Is stated. Is the real underlying cause of the Pacific fleet around the world Jour ney. Heveral montha ago It waa stated, rather obscurely, that the real sig nificance of the fleet's tour was based on affairs within the flowery king dom rather than any fear of the even tualities growing out of the Immigra tion question with Japan. As time goes on It Is apparent that the Immigration question will never become the basis for a crisis In the American-Japanese relatione. , Ja pan's almost avowed Intention to make Manchuria nor own, however, may soon give Baron Takahlra.' the new ambassador, plenty to do. The position of the United States on this question Is plain. The late Secretary Huy's famous note of July. 1900, settled the policy of America in relation to China for many years to come. In a circular note he stated that the efforts of the United States would always be devoted to the so lution of Chinese affairs which may bring about permanent peace and preserve tho Chinese territorial and administrative entity and safeguard to all the world equal and Impartial fade with all parts of the Chinese empire. This la stilt the attitude oi the government. Japan's Increasingly arrogant alti tude toward the empire and her ap parent disregard for all treaty stipu lations In relation to railroad, tele graph and trade and her refuaal to reduce and retire the armed force In the province, if continued, may bring about a situation In which the pres ence of a large American fleet close at hand will do much towards strengthening our hands when the time of sharp protest arrives.
