DENMARK PREPARING
TO DEFEND NEUTRALITY.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb 13.-The
British Government has inquired if the
Danish Government is prepared to defend
Denmark's neutrality, especially the i'm
portant sea routes. Denmark replied in
effect:
We will defend ourselves
The construction placed on this inquiry
here is that Great Britain appreciates the
danger OF Russia occupying Danish
fortresses in the event of complications
between Great Britain and Russia over
the far Eastern situation.
In consequence of the possibility of such
an outcome the Danish War Department
has ordered the army reserves to be ready
for mobilization throughout Denmark
within twelve hours. Regimental offices
are open day and night

Washington. Feb. 13.-SecIetary Hay
has added another to his long list of dip
lomatic triumphs. and America is once
more enabled by his diplomacy to head
the nations in a concurrent effort TO pre-
serve the integrity of China.
Mr.. Hays note OF February 10 to Rus
sia and Japan. urging them TO confine
hostili.ies within as small an area as pos
sible and to respect the neutrality and
administrative entity of China, will be ac-
cepted by Russia, as well as by Japan
and all the nations will join the Washing
ton Government in inviting the combat
ants to agree 10 the proposition.
Mr.. Jusserand. the French Ambassador.
called upon Secretary Hay to-day at his
residence. officially, to inform him of
Frances acceptance. and. infcrentialiy. it
is known, that Russia's acquiescence will
be communicated very soon.
At the Russian Embassy tonight no in
timation had been received of that Gov
ernmcnt's probable answer to Secretary
Hays note. but Count Cassini. the Rus
sian Ambassador. will inform Secretary
Hay as soon as St Petersburg advises
him.
Acceptance by the Powers of the
Washington Governments suggestion will
be, followed by a further exchange of
views as to the practicability of the sug-
gestion, to the principle of which all have
given their adherence.
As the note is of the most general
character il will be necessary TO dis
cuss at some length the possibilities 1t
contains. 1t is generally understood
that hostilities will be confined. so far
rs China IS concerned. to Manchuria,
probably marking the
western boundary of the theater OF action.
No official definition has yet been given
to the term administrative entity"
1t is not expected that a treaty will be !
necessary to execute Secretary Hays |
but that an exchange of |
notes will suffice. |

and is but lightly armed. There are in
the Russian Navy two other ships of this
class. the Amur and the Bakane. They
are also used in the French Navy. but no
other Powers have built them. 1t is sup
posed that the destruction of the Yenisei
was by one of its own torpedoes.

European Powers. 1t is understood that
NJ. Delcasse brought strong pressure to

was most active in obtaining Frances ap-
proval.

JAPANESE ATTITUDE.
The Japanese Legation here to-day
gave out the text OF lengthy cable mes
sage from Toxic defining Japan's atti-
tude toward the neutrality Of China II
says China should observe strict neutral
ity and lays down the following prin-
ciples:
F'irst-The belligerents are morally
bound to reduce TO a minimum. the area
of war. To this end the war operations
should be geographically limited
Second-The number of belligerent Pow
ers should reduce az much as possible,
and the war should be confined to Japan
and Russia In order to prevent a general
conhagration.
Third-It is Of the utmost Importance
that order be preserved throughout the in
terror of China and at the treaty ports.
Therefore. Japan has instructed her Min
lister at Pekin to urge upon Prince Ching
that China scrupulously observe neutral
ity. maintain order and refrain from fur
nishing supplies to the belligerents. China
should also keep sufficient garrisons at
Shan Hai-Wan and other strategic points
to prevent a breach of neutrality and see
that all territory except Manchuria is free
from war operations. Under these condi- |
tions Japan will respect Chinas neutral |
ity. |

by proposing TO limit the host!lities. have

to prevent a general war in which all the

by the United States.
who can tell now whether that will be
accepted by Russia or not?
"If it Is not. the interests of the United

NAVAL EXPERT EXPECTS
RUSSIAN SHIPS TO SWEEP
EASTERN COAST OF JAPAN.

ST. Petersburg. Feb. 13.-Whle nothing
Is known here. officially regarding the
movements Of the Vladivostok squadron,
the reports that 1t had sunk japanese
transports off Wonsan and destroyed
Hakodate are generally discredited. it be-
ing pointed out that it is impossible for the
squadron to have been in the two places
almost simultaneously.
A naval expert says that IL the Hakodate
story is true, Admiral Stackelberger On
command of the Vladivostok squadron)
will be able TO come south by the Eastern
coast Of Japan and cause enormous havoc
along the shore and to shipping. and ulti-
mately effect a junction with Admiral
Firenius's squadron, on its way to the
far East from Europe.
VICEROY HAND FREE
IN DISPOSING OF FORCES
. Viceroy Alexieff's silence about the vlad-
ivostok squadron is explained by the fact
that for strategic reasons the Viceroy,
as oommander-in-chief is empowered to
dispose of the ships and men without con-
sulting headquarters. The enumeration of
the Russian ships engaged at Port Arthur
was purposely omitted in the official re-
PORTS, as it would have given a valuable
c!ew to the enemy.
A private telegram has been received
from a resident of Port Arthur In which
the sender Gains he saw one japanese
warship sink. The fact that no mention
was made of this in the Viceroy's dis
patches does not disprove the story, be-
cause the Viceroy is careful not to an
nounce anything outside of personally es-
tablished facts 1t is pointed out on high
authority that the Japanese are not like
ly to admit such a loss and it is recalled
that during the Chinese War they were
most secretive about the casualties.
TELEGRAPH LINES
TO YALU RIVER BROKEN.
The telegraph line between Port Arthur
and the Yalu River, 1t is believed, is brok-
en-, which explains the absence of direct
news regarding the naval engagement off
Chemulpo. However, little doubt is enter
tanned here as TO the fate of the VariaC
and Korietz.
The blowing up of the Russian torpedo
transport Yenisei as the result of acci-
dentally striking q mine at Port Arthur
was telegraphed here yesterday, but the
news was not given out until the names
of the officers killed We're known, so as to
avoid needless anxiety to the relatives of
the surviving officers.
The first feeling of depression is iisap-
pearing and entire confidence is expressed
IN the ultimate success of the Russian
arms.
A distinguished Russian said:
The slight reverses which we sustained
at the outset have mad a good effect The
Russians no longer despise the enemy
That was mistake which we made The
Japanese certainly are excellent fighters
who will be treated with the respect they
deserve"
