est just Now.
St. Petersburg, April 27.-The Jap
anese government, replying to the note
of the Russian government, intimating
that there are various conditions in the
treaty of peace between China and ia
pan that Russia cannot allow to be put
into execution, has informed Russia that
if Japan yielded to the eXactions of
Russia France and Germany, she would
expose herself to a revolution, as the
japanese people are intoxicated with
the victories and would assent 60 no
concessions. In spite of this reply
Russia is determined to maintain her
demands.
Washington, April 81. - japanese
officials here question the correctness of
the St. Petersburg cable, giving ia
pans answer TO Russia. 1t Is pointed
out that the japanese government would
not make such a confession of weakness
as to say a revolution would occur. 1t
is also argued the answer lacks the dig
nifty that will characterize such answer
as Japan may make.
London, April 27-The Daily News
correspondent i'll Vienna states that
Russia asks Japan to evacuate COrea or
grant her an ice-free harbor. Japan
disclaims the right to give away Corean
territory, while the king of Corea says
his authority would suffer if such
thing should be done. Toxic tele-
grams received in Vienna lately, says
the correspondent, assert that when the
mikado and Chinese emperor meet the
king of Siam will also be present and
quadruple alliance of Japan, China,
Siam and Corea will be formed.
The Central News correspondent i'll
Toxic says the japanese government
watches with interest the course of the
European powers regarding the ST.
monOsaki treaty. He finds that the
japanese diplOmatistS are not particu-
larly apprehensive of the outcome. The
refusal of England to act in concert
with Russia, Germany and France has
encouraged the japanese to believe that
no strong single policy can be agreed
on by the countries that feel their in
terests i'll the East are threatened by
the terms of the peace. Germany Is
thought to be but half-hearted in her
cooperation with France and Russia,
if such cooperation has been assured.
Much confidence is felt in the assur-
ances of good feeling given by Great
Britain and the United States.
The last dispatches from ST. Peters
burg are hardly in harmony with the
sanguine views held in Toxic. Prince
Uchtomoky, who accompanied the pres
ent car i'll his tour III the East, has
written long communication to the
Moscow ViedomOsti, explaining the
threading features of the situation i'll
the Orient. He declares that Russia's
Intervention is inevitable. 1t would
be criminal neglect, he thinks, if Rus
STA were to allow Japan to menace Rus
sia's interests in East Asia, as is con-
templated i'll the SimOnOsaki treaty.
He expresses the fear that blOodshed
will be necessary before Japan's ag-
gressive spirit can be checked He re-
CARDS the Japanese as intoxicated with
the completeness of their victory and
determined to force upon the rest OF
the world policy which all nations
having great interests in East Asia
must Illustrate by peaceful means, if
possible, but otherwise by the sword
In commenting upon these opinions,
the Viedomosti says that if England
persists in supporting Japan against
European powers Russia will retaliate
by opening the Pamir question.
The Central News correspondent i'll
Rome says he hears from good author
ity that Austria and Italy have decided
not to interfere i'll the East, and will
not take part i'll any European congress
cOnvoked to revise the terms of peace.
