War News Is Meaqer.

London, March 9.-The far eastern
news published here continues most
meager. The dispatch of Viceroy
Alexieff adds practically nothing to
the accounts of the Vladivostok bonn
bardment There is no further extern
sion of the rumor that the Russian
Vladivostok squadron has been en-
gagged, and the Toxic correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph cabled on the
night of March as follows: mo de-
tails have been received of the battle
at Vladivostok.
The whereabouts of the I-ladivostok
squadron Is still unknown.
The sending of Marquis Ito on mis-
sion to Korea is regarded here as the
most significant news of the day. and
is believed to indicate virtual pro-
tectorate over Korea, which will be-
come the Japanese military base and
source of supplies.

Toxic. March 9.-The Japanese gov
eminent, it is said, is considering the
advisability of seeking to secure i'm
mediately oan in America and Eu-
rope. Although 1t is estimated that
enough bono can be sold at home to
provide sufficient money to prosecute
the war for at least one year and a
half. and although many Japanese
statesmen and firms believe that ia
pan is capable of waging war to con-
clusion without borrowing single
cent abroad, and have, in spirit of
national pride, counselled that no for
eign loan be sought, yet it is felt that
there may arise in year or two con-
tingency when money may be serious
lly needed. 1t is thought that it would
be better to place loan now. if pos
sible, rather than attempt to do so in
a future crisis, when money may be
badly needed.
