A GRAVE CRISIS,
The Report That Japan las Sent An
Ultimatum is Discredited
RUSSIA AND JAPAN MAY FIGHT
Great Britain Said to Intend to Es-
tabiish q Protectorate Over the
Yang Use Valley if Russia Retains
MaEchuria.

Pekin, By Cable.-The report cabled
from Tien Tsin to London to the erect
that Japan had sent an ultimatum to
Russia is discredited here, and no in
formation OF a corroborative nature is
in the possession of the foreign lega-
tions. While the knowledge of the le-
cations on the situation leads to the
belief that the sending of an ultima
tum is improbable, the prospects OF
war are evidently increasing. The Brit
ish legation some days ago received
telegram indicating that war was pos
sible. and the Japenese legation IS o.
ficially informed that Russia's recent
reply to the japanese proposals was
unsatisfactory.
While no news has been received at
the Japanese legation that Japan mas
sent an ultimatum to Russia, 1t IS rec
ognized at the legation that grave
crisis is approaching. Major General
Yamani, the Japanese military attache,
and the Japanese colonel who has Deen
instructing the Yuan Shai kais troops,
have both started for Japan. ,
The native press recently reiterated
a circumstantial story to the effect that
in the event of Manchuria being re-
tanned by Russia, it was the intention
Of Great Britain to establish pro-
tectorate over the Yang Use valley as
compensation and to appoint viceroy
therein, so that her prestige IN the
far East would be equal to that OF Rus-
sia. Some Of the native papers give
Wal WI Pu Or, the Chinese Foreign
Minister, as authority for the story;
This fiction is largely credited ana
gravely discussed and is creating nos
tility against Great Britain. 1t is sus,
pected that the story has been fostereo
by unfriendly agencies appointed lot

Mr., DAVIS RETURNS
The Turkish Government Expected to

THE CONSUL WILL HAVE WARSHlP
The State Department Takes a Firm
Stand in the Matter of the Assault
on the United States Consul at
Alexandretta.

Washington, Special.-As result Of
Minister Leishman's advices respect
ing the Alexandretta affair, the State
Department has requested the Navy
Department to place a warship at the
disposal CT Consul Davis, now at Beirut
upon which he might return to Alexan-
dretta, at his pleasure. The Navy De-
partment accordingly cabled instruc-
tions to Admiral Cotton on board the
flagship Brooklyn, at Alexandria,
Egypt, to place vessel at the disposal
of Mr.. Davis. 1t is believed the Brook
sui to arrange the terms Of his recep-
tion.
Acting Secretary Of State Adee has
taken a firm stand in the matter OF
the assault upon United States Consul
W. R. Davis, by Turkish officials and
police, at Alexandretta. He has cabled
Minister Leishman to present the facts
to the Turkish government and inform
that government the case is one SEEM,
Ing to invite an expression Of regretS
and reparation. The State Department
does not indicate what measure Of re-
paration is expected, but it is under
stood that the Turkish government Will
by removal or otherwise punish the Of
Tending Turkish officials at Aleran-
dretta and compensate Attrian for the
losses and injuries he has sustained.
The Turkish government is willing to
compensate Attrian and deport him. 1t
is understood that the main offense Ii
the assault upon the United States con:
sui, a matter of gravity in internationa!
law. The information that has reaeneo
the Department is to the effect that Mr.
Davis was entirely within his rights
and powers and that while engaged In
protecting, as was his duty, a natur.
allied American citizen, he was set
upon by five Turkish policemen anu
dragged along the ground. 1t also APP
pears incidentally that upon recovering
his footing the consul promptly .and
soundly thrashed all five OF the pohce-
men.
