JAPAN DEEPLY STIRRED
Over Alleged Treacherous Attack of a
Japanese Merchant Vessel,

Toxic Feb. 12.-Japan is deeply stirred
and bitterly resentful over the sinking of
the merchant vessel Zensho by four Rus
sian cruisers which. yesterday. attacked
the Zensho and the NIganoura while they
were on their way from Sakata to OtlriI
on the island of Hakkaido The attack OF
the Russians Is declared to be wanton
crime. unjustified under any circum-
stances even assuming that the Zensho
disregarded signals. which is denied
II Is said the Japanese government is
planning repriSal. Several Russian ships
which have been detained in order to pre-
vent reports OF movements OF the Jap
anese from reaching the enemy will now,
II Is said. be Sent to the prize courts and
in all probability will be confscatrd
The presence of Russian squadrOns in
northern Japanese waters centcrs all in
tercsts there. The country is isolated and
II Is difficult to obtain satisfactory reports
from there.
A variety of rumors stir Toxic One
says Matsuma has been bombarded: an
other that the Japanese cruisers have en-
gagged the Russians.
The government has not confirmed any
thing except the Zensho incident. II is
regarded probable that the Russian fleet
either returned to VladvostOck after
completing n movement planned to divert
the japanese. or else passed through the
TSugaru straits moving south. The lap
anese cruiser squadron is scouting in hope
of locating the Russian fleet. If the Rus
slams should attempt 20 affect a junction
with the Port Arthur ilcet the japanese
will endeavor to block the way and force
an engagement.
The Japanese government has decided
to accept the parole of France for the
Russian prisoners captured at Chcmulpo
at the time of the sinking of the Varia :;
and korietZ, provided they be sent tn
Shanghai. Russia engaged not to let
them come north OF Shanghai until the
end of the war. An exception is made in
the case of % wounded aboard the French
steamer Pascal. They will be taken to
Che Foo and placed in a hospital.
The celebration of the naval victory
was one of noisy enthusiasm. Early in
