NO FEAR OF WORLD WAR.
This Governments Vie1g-Attitude
Tozcard China Unchanged.

washington. Aug. 10 Apprehension that
japan may extend her land operations 10 China
is not shared IN Washington. The officials Will
not make public the sources of their inforna-
ton. but there Is reason to believe that they
have been assured by both Japan and Russia
that there viii be no extension Of the war field
beyond Manchuria. and perhaps Corea. The
danger Of E breach Of neutrality. far as land
operations are concerned, IS said TO centre at a
point on the border between Manchuria and
Chinese Mongolia. which would naturally be the
place where General Kuropatda would seek to
make his escape with mis- army IL Kuroh sue
ceeded in surrounding him an the northeast and
south thus cutting him off from the Siberian
railroad and his line OF communication Appre-
Yensjve Of this movement Yuan Shi Kai and
Ma, the Chinese generals, with their foreign
drilled troops have concentrated a force Of
about forty thousand men in Mongolia near the
border and II is feared that there may be a
clash between these men and the Russian troops
if the Russians retreat across the line
An interview by Count Cassini. the Russian
Ambassador published in a New-York paper
this morning attracted attention among the OF
fcials here particularly because Of the state
rnent attributed to the Ambassador that by the
seizure Of the Ryeshitelni japan had broken
Chinese neutrality and had wrecked Secretary
Hays plan TO limit the field OF operations by
dragging into the conflict the allies OF Japan
and Russia.
Il may be stated that the official opinion here
as to this probability does not coincide with
that entertained by the Ambassador. Ii is con-
hdentIy expected that neutrality far as land
operations are concerned can be preserved, and
that is the phase which would most endanger
the worlds peace by obHging The allies TO enter
the lists. It is known that the British govern
ulent is in thorough accord with the American
view on this point, and it IS believed that France
and Germany with their enormous pecuniary
interests in tie Russian funds and in Eastern
Investments. are equally DESTROYS OF doing
everything within their power TO maintain the
present war zone
Il IS said that there is nothing in the Arnbas-
sador's statement which seems to involve any
change OF policy or the part Of the State De
partnent The department feels that, having
been instrumental l.; obtaining the solemn
pledge Of both Russia and Japan 70 observe
Chinese neutrality il must rely upon the honor
Of those nations faithfully 10 execute that
pledge and that IL certainly cannot be expected
10 be dragged into the conflict either by taking
sides or by seeking by any other means than
by moral suasion to induce the helligerents 70
live up to their promises.

JAPANESE SURGERY.
Major Seaman's ObserUations-Visit
to Bandits Camp.

CheFoo. Aug. 18.-Najor L. L. Seaman, of
New-York. who has seen much Of the japanese
hospitals and who has been with the Chunchus
or Chinese bandits. near Moukdeu. has arrived
at Che-Foo. He gave some interesting observa-
tons CT the japanese method OF treating
wounded men. He says that the japanese are
giving proof oe the benefits to be derived from
not treating wounds on the field, where they
content themselves with the application Of first
aid bandages and antiseptics, leaving the more
serious work TO be done IN the hospitals at home.
This course is followed except where there is
danger OF the wounded man bleeding TO death.
or where his condition is precarious.
The result OF this practice has been that many
men suffering from bullet wounds al the front
are nearly we'll when they reach Japan. IN one
hospital ship returning 10 japan from the front
there were twenty-five hundred wounded men,
and there was not single death on board dur
Ing the trip. Three people Will cover all the
deaths among The wounded who have been re-
turned TO Japan after having received first aid
treatment only. Il the japanese soldier is not
killed outright the chances are that he will
cover. His temperate habits and mis- plain and
healthful diet of fish and rice, varied OCCASION
ally with meat, contribute much to his recovery.
Russian wounded captured by the japanese
have been treated in q similar manner, and the
recoveries among these men are scarcely fewer
in proportion than among the japanese.
\ new complication has been discovered in the
wounds sustained in This war. due to the
traordiuary high speed of small calibre bullets.
which produce aneurisms. Major Seaman saw
twenty-seven operations performed for the re-
lief of this new condition.
After having spent some time in Japan Major
Seaman. accompanied by Captain Charles T.
Boyd of the 10th United States Infantry, was
the guest Of Chungezorlin. a Chunchu chief near
Hsin- Min-Tun, where the Chunchus number
ten thousand men. The major said that these
men were in the employ Of the japanese. who
pay the infantry Is taels month and the cav
airy % taels month. There are many Jap
anese officers among these forces which are
used 10 harass the Russians
In the course Of the visit Of Major Seaman
and Captain Boyd. the bandits brought in the
sacks had been part OF a detachment Of thirty
five men who were engaged in getting a thou
sand head Of cattle. After the bandits defeated
the Russian detachment they approx riated the
cattle.
The Chunchus pride themselves on their horse
manship. and the visiting officers owe their vel
come among them TO some West Point riding
tricks showed them by Captain Boyd. The at
tack of the Chunchus on the Cossack detach-
rnent with the cattle resulted in q force of 1000
Cossacks marching out to avenge the killing Of
their comrades. Thereupou the robber chief ad-
vised his visitors to go, IS he could not under
take to protect them. And Major Seaman and
Captain Boyd left the bandits headquarters.
