JAPAN HAS PLANS.
Believed in Washington She Would
lnflame PEOPLE of China.

Washington. Oct. 10. = At today's
cabinet meeting there was no action
relative to the complications between
Russia and Japan. However, the keen
est interest is displayed in the outcome
of the disagreement between the two
countries in army and navy circles. 1T
is the belief of all informed experts
here that Japan. in case of hostilities,
will seek to intlame the whole of china
against Russia along the entire Chinese
border. such an attack would be the
more easy for Japan to foment because
of the large umbe OF Japanese OIL
GERS in the Chinese army. 1T would
cripple Russia seriously because that
country is largely dependent on Japan
n China for it's far eastern coal sup
ply. The belief here is that a contest
must come sooner or later. Many take
the view hat Japan will strike imme-
diately before Russia a add to it's
force in the easter Siberian regions.

Conflicting Reports.

Washington, Oct. l4.-At the Russian
embassy the officials are not alarmed
over the situation in the far east. The
view held there is that neither Russia
nor Japan desires war, though both
may be making preparations to that
end, and that there is really no ques-
ton at issue which cannot be settled
without recourse to arms providing the
negotiating parties are disposed to use
diplomacy, rather than the sword.
Che embassy has received no advices
from ST. Petersburg for more than two
weeks.
Paris, oct. 14.--The Figaro this morn
ing publishes an interview with M.
lNurine, the Japanese minister here,
on the subject of the dispatch to the
Irankfurter Zeitung from Shanghai to
the effect that Japan has occupied Ma
Il Pho and that an official declaration
of war is expected. NJ. Kurino said the
source of the dispatch was suspicious.

mating point Of bogus news. He per-

London, Oct. 15.-The trend of today's
