NO ISLANDS SEIZED.
They Were Bought From Spain to
Round Out Philippine Archipelago.

A rumor was current in the lobby of the
British house of commons last night to the
effect that some United States warships
had seized about twenty small islands off
the coast of Borneo, which, it is under
stood. belong to Great Britain, and had
planted the American flag on them. 1t is
probable that a question on the subject
will be asked in the house.
Several London morning papers printed
the rumor. but the report attracted little
attention and no comment.
The reported seizure of islands off the
coast Of Borneo by American warships ap-
parently was as great surprise to admin
istration officials in Washington as 1t was
to members Of parliament in London. No
Information that such step was contem-
plated has come from the admiral COM
manding the American fleet in Philippine
waters. and no exploitation along the lines
indicated has been directed by the officials
here so far could be ascertaned tonight.
A very plausible explanation Of the re-
ported occurrence. 1t is stated, is that the
commanding officer in the Philippines
simply had sent one or more of his vessels
and hoisted the flag OF the United States
over some islands near the coast of Bor-
States from Spain subsequent to the treaty
Of Paris, and that the sovereignty of the
United States over them had been for
mally proclaimed.
1neSe were tne CaSayan Sulu group, COM
prisng one large and fourteen smaller
islands and the larger island Of Palawan.
These islands were not comprehended with
in the boundaries of the Philippine archi-
pelagO when the treaty Of Paris was
signed. The claim was made later how
ever. that they rightfully belonged to
Spain and they were formally ceded to the
United States by a subsequent action Of
that government. and our Congress made
an appropriation and paid the purchase
price agreed on for them. The islands of
the Cagayan group are very close to the
Borneo coast, and the action Of the Ameri-
can naval officials in formally raising the
American flag over them. II this has been
done. no doubt has given rise to the i'm
preston In the minds of those unacquainted
with the real facts that the United States
had seized the islands.

RUSSIAN POWER GROWS
CAR HAS NO INTENTION OF
CALCULATING MANCHURIA.
Barracks Being Erected for Thousands
of Troops and War by No Means
Improbable.

A Port Arthur Manchurta dispatch SAYS:
The conference Of prominent Russian Of
hcials has ended and the last special train
departed for Moscow yesterday. Most of
the visiting officials have gone. E4ultation
over Russia's increasing power In Man
churia was the dominant note in the gath
ering. The possibility of taking any back
ward steps are scoffed at IL mentioned by
outsiders. 1t was admitted that the war
possibility was discussed. but 1t was denied
that that was the object Of the conference
Tho evidence of the increase Of warlike
preparations since the arrival Of Gen. Ku-
ropatkin, the minister Of war, and of the
intention to bring more troops to Man
churia are abundant. Orders were given
to Port Arthur contractors last week for
an immediate supply Of building materials
for barracks, to accommodate 20, 900 SOL
diers. to be shipped to Harbin.
The officials explained that Russia's op-
position to opening Manchurian towns to
foreigners was not based upon opposition
to foreigners, whose trade Is desired and
who would in due time be invited into the
country, but Russia objected, they eX-
planned. to having consuls accredited to the
Chinese government in towns which are
practically under Russian control which
would give the subjects of countries SO
represented the enjoyment OF extra terri
torial rights. They asserted that such an
arrangement would be certain to result
In great friction, such as occurred in Niu
ChwanG.
According to advices received by the
steamer Empress of India at Victoria, b.
c., the crisis in the far east is close to a
breaking point, and even the most CON
servative journals fear that war will
come as result of Russian-Chinese in
trigues. Many newspapers are urging an
appeal to arms.
The Peking correspondent OF the Maini-
preparedness is taken to mean that troops
along the coast Of the Yellow sea is in suf-
ficient strength. The Russian minister to
Peking also states that he has received ad-
vices from Admiral Alexieff that all defen-
sive measures in view OF a possible Japa-
nese invasion, have been completed along
the coast of the fellow sea and the Corean
frontier.
The United States fleet is still at Chez
Foo. and the Japanese squadron is cruising
In northern waters. A dispatch from Ma
Sampo, Corea, says that five Russian bat
tleShipS and seven torpedo boats are lying
there.
Advices from south China report that
the rebels in kwang 81 are now stronger
than ever They have established pro-
visional government. The rebels are said
to be governed by the reform party, which
has branches in America. They look upon

THE WABASH PLANS,
Mr.. Gould Turns His Attention to
Baltimore as Shipping Point

The plans of Mr.. George j. Gould as to
the establishment of direct railroad from
Baltimore. Nd. to Salt Lake City, Utah,
has excited much conjecture and comment
among the men of the railroad world. 1t
is the purpose of Mr.. Gould to make the
Western Maryland railroad a link of the
transcontinental line. 1t is said to be Mr..
Gould's purpose to construct large terminal
facilities in that city and make 1t the head
quarters of the shipping department of the
system in the east.
Shippers and business men Of Baltimore
are very enthusiastic over Mr.. Gould 9
promises. and say the establishment of
headquarters of such a system In Balti-
more will tend to benefit the municipality
in many ways. 1t is understood that rep
resentativeS of the Wabash system are Sc

far obtained have not been obtained by the
