FEDERAL TROOPS REQUESTED.
Maryland Governor Calls on Govern
 ment for Military Assistance.

ment for Military Assistance.
 Washington. Feb. S.-At the urgent request of Senator German, and upon his pledge and that of the governor of Maryland that the legislature of Mary land would tonight pass a resolution calling upon the national government for military assistance. Lieutenant General Chaffee, commanding the gen. eral staff, sent telegraph orders this afternoon to Major-General Corbin, commanding the Department of the East at New York, to proceed forth with to Baltimore and take military command of the situation there. Near ly one thousand soldiers also have been ordered to serve under him. They are two battalions of the Fifth infantry at Plattsburg barracks, New York; one battalion of the Sixteenth infantry at Fort Slocum, New York; one battalion of the Ninth infantry at Madison bar racks, New York; one company of the Coast artillery at Fort Howard, Mary land, and one company of the Coast artillery at Fort Dupont, Delaware.
 These troops are under rush orders and in all probability will report to General Corbin before nightfall: It Is expressly stated at the war department that the nationtl troops are to serve as a police force under the direction of the mayor and local authorities.

JAPAN's STATEMENT.
Text Issued by Government setting
 Forth Its Position.


 Tokio. Feb. S-The following is the te.t of the statement issued by the Japanese government setting forth its position:
 Section 1-It being indispensable to the welfare and safety of Japan to maintain the independence and territo- rial integrity of Corea, and to safeguard her permanent interests therein, the Japanese government finds it impossi- ble to. view with indifference any ac- ton endangering the position of Corea, whereas Russia, notwithstanding her solemn treaty with China and her re- peated assurances to the powers, not only continues her occupation of Man. churia, but has taken aggressive meas ures in Corean territory Should Man. churia be annexed to Russia, the inde- pendence of Corea would naturally be impossible. The Japanese government, therefore, being desirous of securing permanent peace for eastern Asia, by means of direct negotiations with Rus sia, with the view of arriving at friendly adjustment of their mutual in- terests in both Manchuria and Corea, where their interests meet, enunciated, toward the end of July last, such desire to the Russian government, and invited it's adherence. To this the Russian government expressed willing assent. Accordingly, on the 18th of August the Japanese government proposed to Rus sia, through it's representative at St. Petersburg, the basis of an agreement, which was substantially as follows:
 "One-A mutual engagement to re- srect the independence and territorial integrity of the Chinese and Corean em- pires.
 ''Two-A mutual engagement to- maintain the principle of an equal op- portunity for the commercial industry of all nations with the natives of those countries.
 'sThree-A reciprocal recognition of Japan's preponderating interests in Corea and that Russia has special in terests in railway enterprises in Man churia, and a mutual recognition of the respective rights of Japan and Russia therein.''
 It was the intention of the Japanese government originally that conference should take place between the represen- tatives at St. Petersbury and the Rus sian authorities, so as to facilitate pro- gross as much as possible in reaching a solution of the situation, but the Rus sian government absolutely refused to do so on the plea that the czar planned a trip abroad and for other reasons it was unavoidably decided to conduct the negotiations at Tokfo.

AMERICAN ASIATIo FLEET.
Tentative o-ders Sending squadron to
 Vicinity of Port Arthur.

Washington, Feb S-Tentative or ders have been prepared sending the cruiser squadron of the Asiatic fleet northward from Subig Bay to the vi- cinity of Port Arthur to observe the Japanese-R Russian naval operations and to be at hand to protect American in- terests wherever they may be menaced in the war-stricken district. The or ders will be submitted to the president for final revision, but will not be sent unless they are agreeable to Russia and Japan, which nations will be sounded in advance on this subject.
 When the orders were prepared to- day it was expected that they would be sent forthwith, in view of the restrain ing instructions they contained for Rear-Admiral Evans, commanding the Asiatic fleet, to observe strict neutral ity in all movements. Secretary Moody, however, is not willing that this coun- try shall give ground even for suspicion either by Russia or Japan, and it has therefore been decided that these gov- ernments shall be asked if the dispatch of the cruiser squadron to northern waters will embarras either combatant.
 The cruiser squadron consists of the Albany, flagship; the New Orleans, the Raleigh and the Cincinnati In case the squadron goes northward it is fully expected that Rear-Admiral Evans will transfer his flag to the Albany and as sume command of the squadron, re- maining in the Far East, after his reg .ular tour of duty has expired, to ob- serve the war, If any.
 Orders were issued to-day for Lieu tenant Newton A. McCauley, now on the Dolphin, to relieve Lieutenant Commander Charles s. Marsh as naval attache at Tokio. Lieutenant-C Com mander Marsh and Lieutenant Irvine Gillis, now on his way to Tokio, are un- der orders to follow the Japanese naval operations as best they can It is not expected that they will be taken aboard the Japanese ships permanently.

LITTLE MORE ENCOURAGING
CONDITION OF SENATOR HANNA
 LAST NIGHT.

Extreme Weakness continues Which Has Been tho worst Feature of His IiIness-Physicians In Their Last BnIIetin Stated That Thss Means Less Variability of the stomach.
 Washington, Feb. S.-Senator Hanna's condition tonight is a little more en- couraging, though extreme weakness, which has been the worst feature of his illness, continues. He had fairly quiet day. rested a little better and suffered less ifritability of the stomach. MT. Hanna was able to take more nourish- ment than for several days. For the last two days he has talked very little and has hade no effort, as at first, to bring up business affairs. The physi- clans say 1t is a case of waiting for the disease to run it's course. but that they are hopeful. The heart action continues good and the fact that the senator is of a long-lived family is regarded as favorable to'fecovery.
 K The following bulletin was issued to- night:
 Senator Hanna's temperature at p. m. was 102, his pulse is 92, and regular; respiration "A. There has been less irri- liability of the stomach and his general condition remains good.
