condition that rarely prevailed since
the middle of November, 1903. The
month of February closed. however,

OF uninterrupted cold weather that for
for duration and intensity has not been
equalled since the weather observation

JAPAN'S STATEMENT.

Washington. March 1.-The following
authorized statement received. today,
from his government is given out by
the Japanese minister:
The Russian government has charG-
ed Japan with having treacherous!y
obtained victory by a sudden attack
upon Russia, who was bent upon
maintaining peace. 1t is further as
serted in these eon:minaues thai since
Il rupture Of diplomatic relations can
never be looked upon as the opening OF
hostilitics. and since Japan did not is
sue declaration of war until the 18th
Of February, she has been guilty of a
fragrant breach of the principles OF in
ternational law in making as early as
the ST., Of February a most unwarrant-
Cd attack upon Russian men-of-war
and merchant vessels.
Tho answer to these charges may
be found in the action of Russia her
self. That her government never en-
tertained any sincere desire for peace
could be clearly seen from its own
conduct. Throughout the whole cours,
of the negotiations Russian persistent
ly refused to meet the proposals made
b. Japan in a moderate and concilia-
tory spirit. BY delays that could not
be construed as otherwise than wan
ton and unnecessary, she put off the
settlement of the questions at issue,
while 1T the same time busily extend
ing her naval and military prepara-
tons.
"iier Narlike preparations in the
Far East since last April when shc
failed to carry out her treaty engage
mcnt to evacuatc Manchuria are in
full confirmation of these statements.
During that time the increase made in
her naval strength in the Far East
vas as follows:
Three battleships. tonnage 33.4SS;
one arnored cruiser. tonnage 1925; five
cruisers tonnage 26,147; seven destroy
ers. tonnage 2450 one gunboat, tonnage
1881; two vessels for laying mines, ton
mage 5000. Total number of vessels, 10,
with n total tonnage of S2,415.
IN addition to these vessels, the
Russian government sent torpedo de-
stroyers in sections by rail to Port Ar
thur. where the work of putting them
together has been FASTENED and seven
of them have already been completed.
Furthelm the vessels of the volun-
teer feet were armed at Vladivostock
and hoisted the Russian naval ensign.
The Russian government also ordered
TO the Far East one battleship. three
cruisers, seven destroyers and four tor
pedo boats, Of n total tonnage of about
301iO which would have joined the
Russian squadron in the Far East had
