San Francisco, March 24-captains
o. F. Butler and J. Stanbrdge. United
States inspectors of vessels and boilers
have handed down their decision for
the responsibility for the wreck of the
Rio de Janeiro Feb. % at the entrance
to the Golden Gate. Their report
places the blame for the wreck upon
the late Capt. Ward and Pilot Jordan.
The pilot being a state Office is not
under the jurisdiction of the United
States inspectors and they have no
power to punish him. The inspectors
blame the chief engineer for inatten-
ton to his duties and revoke his IL
cense as a chief engineer. He had ten
white men in his charge consisting of
three engineers, three water tenders,
three oilers and one storekeeper, and
the inspectors are of the opinion that

this force on deck to man the boats
many more lives would have been
saved.

London, March 24.-The foreign office
date situation in the East, in spite of
the settlement of the TEN tsin ques-
ton, and entertains CARVE fears that
the relations between Japan and Rus
STA may shortly reach the danger
point.
Judging from information received
In various official quarters in London
japan has confided to at least some of
the powers her determination to op-
pose at all costs any secret agreements
made between Russia and China by
which the former could secure terri
torial or other advantages contiguous
to Korea. The British government
has received no official confirmation
that the Japanese fleet is mobi'izing,
but it would not be surprised to learn
that such were the facts. A highly
placed British official said:
"All Japan wants is free hand
against Russia. This she will get SO
far as England and Germany are con-
cerDed. and. I presume, SO far as the
United States is concerned although l
do not imagine for one moment that
any of the powers mentioned would be
drawn into a war between Japan and
Russia. If Japan sees nothing for 1t
but to fight she would have the moral
support of objections committed to
paper by at least two other powers
against secret treaties with China.
That is all, but Japan seems to con-
slider it sufficient to provide against
interfe renee"
