Aspect Of Affairs in the Far East 10
Very Warilkc.
London, Dec. 22.-The morning pa
pers display increased alarm aver the
aspect of affairs In the Far East, rath-
er from the fear hat some unforeseen
incident may precipitate a conflict
than from any belief that the re-
sources OF diplomacy have become ex-
hausted, the opinion being still almost
universal that both Russia and Japan
are anxious to avoid war.
The Morning Post, which is inspired
In the Japanese interest, makes n sug-
gestion which may possess signif-
cance-namely, that Japan should cut
the gordian knot by declaring a pro-
tectorate oye Korea. The paper con
tends hat such a solution would COM
mend itself to all the powers with the
exception OF Russia, and that 1t might
even be welcomed at st. Petersburg IL
1t is true that Russia does not desire
war.
The special cablegrams from the
Far East published In this mornings
newspapers throw no new light on the
situation, but all are agreed that jap
an has not sent an ultimatum to Rus
sia.
The correspondent of the Daily Tel
egraph. who after a tour of Manchuria,
has arrived at Nagasaki, expresses
the belief that there will be no war,
certainly not before spring, and that
Russia does not want a wal before she
has consolidated her position In Man
churia. She Is apprehensiye, however,
OF the strength of the Japanese feet
and over the attitude of China and
Great Britain.
Reuters Telegram company has
learned that considerable anxiety in
the best informed circles of London
regarding the possible outcome OF the
situation in the Far East. Fears are,
il is said, expressed that the Russian
government may have oversteppsd the
bounds which would make a continuH
ton Of peacsful negotiations with
Japan possible. 1t may be regarded as
quite certain. 1t Is asserted, that Jap
an will not accept the principles OF the
last Russian note, which are alto
gether at variance with Japan's main
contentious, and that Japan's reply
must necessarily be cast in this sense.
