Victoria, d. c., November 16-According
to advices from the Orient brought by the
steamship Empress OF China, the difh-
Guilty arising out of the Masampo affair Is
evidently far from adjustment. As Mas
ampo lies In commanding position be-
tween Eusan and Tsushima. and as It is
of immense importance from a strateget-
zeal point of view. Russia is anxious to
gain possession OF 1t to use as a naval
base connecting vladivostock and Port
Arthur.
Prior to this Masampo affair however,
II Is said that difficulties which might
cause a war between Russia and Japan
existed, and many Southerners living in
Port Arthur and Chez Foo hastily re-
moved to Shanghai for safety. The story
is now told OF narrowly averted collision
on the occasion when two Japanese cru!s-
ers in Gulf Pechili unexpectedly appeared
before Port Arthur Tho Russian signal
officers at the outer station signaled that
the port was closed 10 foreign ships of
war. Disregarding or misunderstanding
this signal, however, the two japanese
cruisers steamed straight into the harbor.
They were intercepted, however BY
steam launch having on board an official
who warned the Japanese captains that
The forts would fire on the cruisers II they
were not Immediately Withdrawn. This
advice was taken by the Japanese COM
manders with very bad grace.
