JAPAN OBSTINATE
1t is Believed that if the Conflict Oc-
ours Japan Will Win the First
Victory on the Sea.-No Abandon
ment of Rights in Manchuria.

Paris, Dec. 22.-Confrmation was
obtained from official sources today
of reports that Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne and Premier Minister
Delcasse have within the last few
days made strong representations
at Toxic with a view to avoiding a
crisis between Russia and Japan.
There is reason to believe that these
representations coming at the criti-
cal moment wnen Japan's reply is
being handled by tke-Russian min
ister exercised a powerful restrain
ing influence. The terms of the Jap
anese answer are not yet known
here, but owing to the action taken
by Great Britain and France the
officials here are confident her an
swer permits of the continuation of
diplomatic negotiations. The officers
of the Japanese legation insist that
they do not believe there is any i'm
mediate danger of war between Rus
sia and Japan. But, however, Japan
will not abandon any of her
rights in Manchuria, they say, and
if a conflict occurs they believe ia
pan will obtain the first victory on
the sea.
