good an American not to be willing to
DOW to the will of the majority.
We have tried our case in all tn

WAR SITUATION UNCHANGED
Russiars and Japanese Are
Resting on their Arms

There is no late war news from the
Orient. A dispatch from st. Peters
surg contains the information that the
ecie ct of the whe eahouts of Captain
2eitzensteins vladivostock squadron
Is carefully gaurded by the military
authorities, but thee is a strong Inn
preston here that when the seven
Japanese warships appeared off the
larbor Sunday and yesterday the Rus
sian squadron was outside, perhaps
down the coast, operating with the
Russian land force near the mouth of
the Tumen river. If the Russians were
outside and the Japanese definitely
ascertained that fact a big sea fight
is probably imminent. as it is consid,
cred certain that the Japanese in thai
case will lie on and off Vlad.vostock
giving battle if they are caught in
the open sea.
All the harbors along the coast in
which the Russians might seek refuge
are frozen and the squadron must
eventually be forced to return to ylad-
lvostoek for coal
A naval service organ in st. Peters
burg argues legthily that the present
Japanese naval disposition presages a
movement on a large scale in the sea
Of Japan.
Reports from vladivostock state that
despite the appearance of the Japanese
'leet off the harbor yesterday and the
bombardment of Sunday, the inhabi-
tants of Vladivostock are in good spir.

usual, inc'r ding many women. A per-
