WAR CLOUD IN THE EAST
Russia Prepares For Crisis With the
Japanese.
WARSHIPS RUSHED TO KOREA

England Fears Being Drawn Into Nam
churian War-Germany's Possible Sup
port of Russia is a 8Ienace-Japan
Plans warily-BeIievingC Conflict is In
evitable, She Seeks Alliance With China
London, England.-Though no overt
act of war has been reported from st.
Petersburg or the Far East, the unmis-
taxable manner in which Japan and
Russia are preparing for military and
naval action leaves no doubt that the
beginning Of the contest is at hand.
The gravity. Of the situation is not
underestimated by the members Of the
British Cabinet and the representa-
tives of the Powers who are now in
London. On every side fears are ex-
pressed that, owing to the peculiar at
titude assumed by Germany with re-
spect to the coming contest for slpre-
macy in the Far East. England may
be drawn into the strife.
More Russian warships have been
dispatched from Port Arthur to Ma
San-Pho, and the principal military
and naval commanders Of Japan and
Russia no longer pretend to conceal
the fact that they are preparing to
take the field. The war spirit is run
ming high in both countries, and the
leaders of conservative opinion appear
to have abandoned all hope Of avert
ing a war that now seems to be in
evitable.
A report from Cheefoo says that the
Japanese have occupied MaSan-Pho,
Korea, and the officers Of the Japanese
and Russian fleets that are now lying
in Ma.San-Pho harbor were hourly e2-
pecting that war would be declared.
1t is reported from Port Arthur that
the Toxic correspondent Of the Novui
Krai, the leading Russian newspaper
In that town, has sent to his paper a
dispatch which indicates that japan
is prepared to begin the conflict with.
out further delay. He says that the
Japanese press is pointing out that If
Japan engages in war with Russia 1t
will not be on account Of the Russian
occupation of Manchuria, but because
Japan Is determined to establish her
position among the Powers.

Dcnver's Great Musical Festival.

The first annual musical festival for
the state OF Colorado will be held at the
Broadway theatre. April IL and ls.
These festivals will stand for the highest
musical interests of the Rocky mountain
region. 1t is the plan to present the best
musical talent to be obtained. and appeal
not only to the people of Colorado, but to
extend influence to the neighboring states.
MIR. Wardner Williams stands at the
head of the festival and is man emf
nently fitted by training and experience
for such an undertaking. He has studied
both in America and Europe and is famil-
lar with musical interests both at home
and abroad. Mr.. Williams, many of our
readers will remember, married Rocky
Ford girl Miss Bertha Bingham.
The chief attraction offered for the fes-
tival is the great Theodore Thomas or
chestra Of Chicago. The program to be
presented will include Mendelssohn's s
Elijah with full orchestra, chorus and
soloists. The Denver Vocal society is
now at work on the chorus numbers. 1t
is expected that there will be $50 musi-
clans in the production.
The railroads will give excursion rates
during the festival and Rocky Ford will
doubtless be well represented.
