BERLIN, April 6.-Dispatches re-
ceived in Berlin from Russia report
that it is stated that the Car is about
to proceed to the seat of war. For
the time being, however, his Majesty
will only go as far as Irkutsk, where
he will await the final disappearance
of snow and ice before entering Man
churia.
The fact that statement in the Rus
sian press that part of the Cars pri-
vate police have already been ordered
to Irkutsk has been allowed to pass
without contradiction is regarded here
as confirmation of the report.
The semi official Post, in reproduc-
ing this dispatch, points out that there
would be nothing extraordinary in
Nicholas II going to the seat of war.
On the contrary, it would be in ac-
cordance with the Russian custom, the
Car generally taking the field with
his army.
No protest has been received here
from Japan against the sale of the
Fuerst Bismarck to firm acting in
Russias interests.
