JAPAN-ANGLO ALLIANCE
Mikado's Warships at the Disposal
h. Of the British Commander ,.v
AS A MENACE TO THE RUSSIANS.

The Step Taken as Precnftfon, "1n
Case Russia Persists In Ignoring the
'. Joint Interests OF England and
Japan''-Tne British Loan to China.
q London, Jan. 8.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says that a Japanese
fleet of three battleships, ten first class
cruisers and numerous smaller vessels.
I has received orders practically placing
it at the disposal of Sir Alexander
Butler, commander in chief in the China
station, this step being taken ''in case
Russia persists in ignoring the joint
interests of England and Japan"
The Berlin correspondent Of The
Daily News says he understands that
the peculiar form of the lease of Kiao-
Chau was the outcome of the pro-
longed negotiations between Germany
and Russia, ending in an agreement
and the mediation Of Russia between
China and Germany. The correspond
ent says: This happy conc Msion OF
Baron Won Bulows negotiation, is the
cause Of universal satisfaction here"
The cabinet will meet today, pre-
sumably to decide about the Chinese
loan. The Standard. in an editorial
apparently inspired, says: For the
present 1t must suffice to say that
China has made earnest overtures for
Great Britain's good offices. and that
Lord Salisbury is giving the closest at
tention to the matter in its practical
aspects. The probabilities point to a
settlement which, without involving
undue risk to the British eXchequer,
will secure for England advantages the
value of which cannot be appraised in
mere monetary terms"
The editorial proceeds to state that
the loan will be partly devoted to pay
ing the japanese indemnity, and will
thus make the emperor of China again
master In his own house, while en-
army and feet as to render Japan a
power which the strongest western
state cannot afford to affront."
The editorial declares: 1T is the
common policy of England and Japan
to bring the comercial development Of
China into harmony with its terri
torial integrity, and in pursuance of
this policy the cordial cooperation of
the United States may be presumed"
A dispatch to The Daily Mail from
