London. Nov. a. a. m.-The most sensa-

from Lourenco Marques. where Father Mat

SLIGHT CAUSE FOR ALARM.
NO NEWS IN ENGLAND REGARDING RUS
SIAN WAR WITH JAPAN.

London, Nov 13.-Careful inquiries reveal
nothing in diplomatic circles here to justify the
alarmst view taken by a section of the press re-
garding the situation in the Far East. That
serious trouble is close at hand as is Indicated
by advices from Shanghai in the last twenty
four hours is regarded incredible. For long
time it has been known here-and it was as
serted in dispatches two months ago-that CHINA
and japan were closely allied, but neither Brit
ish nor American dipomatsts In London be-
lieve that this alliance is of an offensive nature
At any rate it can be asserted positively that
II Japan and China contemplate aggressive
action against Russia Lord Salisbury Is not
aware of their intention, and 1t is scarcely PROB
able that these Powers would decide upon any
definite course without al least consulting Great
Britain. who. in the nature of things, would be
their ally. whether active or passive.
rHowever while the Foreign Office officials have
no information tending to confirm recent sensa-
tional reports. they have come to regard the
Eastern problem as so dincult in respect to get
ting accurate information that they would be
surprised at nothing. they have endeavored TO
take precautions against everything.
In the words Of the British official who dis
cussed the situation with a representative of
The Associated Press
While reports OF a rupture between Russia ana
Japan are easy Of creation, and while tney are
liable to constant reiteration so long as tne
diplomats Of the press continue to view the ar
East with such serious attention. 1t Is certainly
palpable that II Japan really means to strike d
serious blow at Russian control she must 90 IL
quickly for very soon Russia will be far strong
er than she is now.
Discussing the bearings of Russias new naval
estimates upon this question, the official assert
ed that these certainly indicated the intention
of the Car to Increase the Russian fleet IN
Chinese waters. which, If done on the scope out
lined in the estimates would leave to Japan
little opportunity to strike a blow. He added;
Another phase Of these reports which has as
toniebed me is the suggestion OF Chinese CO.
operation Thus far nation has Deeh aDIe
70 arouse the Chinese sufficiently to get theni 10
combine in military enterprises II japan mas
done this or eVel believes she mas, then she
has accomplished more than Great Britain OF
Russia in a century of effort
The action Of the United States Government
IN requesting assurances from foreign govern
nents regarding the "open door policy In
China has created intense satisfaction in Brit
ish official circles.
Lord Salisbury according to the official quoted
above has gladly acquiesced in this step on the
mart of the United States. which Is regarded as
most potent evidence that the United States
recognizes the impossibility of conducting It's
foreign affairs without the cooperation OF other
nations and as the first practical earnest of its
desire TO conduct Eastern negotiations In con-
cert with European governments.
