Japanese, Subjects Detained at For
 Arthur.

Washington, Feb H-Japan will appeal to the United States to prevail on the Russian government to release the 100 Japanese subjects reported detained at Port Arthur. MT. Takahira, the Japanese Minister. 1t is expected. will present the appeal to Secretary Hay tomorrow In a cab1egtafn received from Tokio to- day. the Minister was informed that ac. cording to news brought to Che FS,o by a British steamer from Port Arthur, loO Japanese refugees had been taken from the steamer by the Russian authorities before the vessel sailed in spite of the protest of the Japanese.
 Having agreed to look out for Japanese citizens in Russian territory during the war; this government will instruct Mir. Mccormick, the American ambassador at St. Petersburg. to inquire of the Rus. sian government, as to the Japanese in question.
 The best naval opinion here is to the effect that the detention of these Japan ese at Port Arthur Is a strategical neces- sity to prevent the Japanese gaining in- formation as to the Qualifications, troops. etc.
 An official said: During the siege of | Paris in the Franco-Prussian war, Rep resentntive Hit, who was then in charge of the American legation there, looked after the large number of Germans who were detained at Paris by the French government"
 Although Russias answer to Secretaly y Hays Note asking her to respect the ncu- | tralIty of China and localize hostillties as much as possible. has not yet been re- ceived. the state department knows in- directly from London and Paris that Rus sia will reply faYorably. It then will remain for the Powers to fix the scope Of their note and to draft a more den- nite proposition for acceptance by the two combatants
 Satisfaction is expressed In adminlstrd- ton circles that Great BrItian. as wei as Russia has decided to waive objcc- tions to the note. 2.
 It is expected that all the formal an swers to the secretary's note will reacf here early this week.

GR1scoM IN CONFERENCE.
American Minister Sees Premier
 Komura.

Tokio, Feb. 13.-United States Minister criscom called on Premier Komura last night and an extended conference was held, the nature of which was not dis closed. It is thought 1t related probably to the effort of the powers to obtain statement of the attitude of Japan to- wards preserving the entity of China as proposed by Secretary Hay.
 The situation in the north of China is exceedingly delicate. The Japanese have legation guards at Pelxin and Tientsin in close proximity to the guards of the Rus sian legation and there is danger of a conflict. It is also feared that If the north of China Is included in the sphere of operations it would be impossible to prevent disorder and uprisings as a blind for attacks on all foreigners.
