refused, but w. ] Sullivan, the Ala

oner, telegraphs back that Governor
Jennings declines to honor on the
grounds that it Is not shown that

Toxic, Feb. 5-The general impress
sion here is that all hope Of peace is
gone. The elder statesmen had a con-
ference this afternoon at which the
emperor was present. 1t is believed
a weighty decision was reached.
The Japanese commercial agent at
Vladivostock was notified by the com
mander of the Russian garrison that
he might at any time in accordance
with orders from St. Petersburg, have
to proclaim a state of seige. Conse-
quently he desired the agent to make
preparations for the eventual depart
ure Of Japanese residents. Should
any wish to remain they will be or
dered to repair to Habaroysk.
Japanese official reports confirm
the marked military activity in Man
churia, Houses have been prepared
at Liao Tung, Cheng Kai Chow and
other places for the accommodation
of Russian soldiers. Carts have also
been requisitioned to transport am
munition and stores.
Troops are readily moving in the
direction Of the Yalu and the Chi
snee residents Of Ying Chou are pre-
pairing for flight

1t is generally believed that Russia
Is massing troops north Of the Yalu
river so as to be prepared to- resist a
possible invasion by the Japanese.
The cabinet, elder statesmen and
commanders of the army and navy
are in almost constant. conference OF
communication. There is, however
no indication of the course they intend
to pursue. The belief is prevalent
that Russia Is seeking to provoke ia

municated the news of the first Japanese
attack with torpedo boats on the Russian
feet off Port Arthur and announced that
the French minister at Toxic had been
instructed to assure the protection Of
Russian subjects and their interests in

The attitude of the French government
in view of the war is now definitely de-
termined upon. France will maintain nou-
trality under any and all circumstances.

strued as not requiring France to inter

Great Britain: or any other third power in

Th. impression prevailed that the three
Russian ships tOrpedoed are disabled
as to be unserviceable for the remainder
Of the war, thus placing the Russian fleet
in a state of manifest inferiOrity. 1t is
said that members of the council of min
listers expressed establishment at the al
legged negligence of the commanders Of
the Russian ship in permitting the Jap
aneSe to surprise them.
The Japanese legation announces that
Japan has requested China to declare coal
contraband of war.
AS the day wore on 4 great wave of
popular sympathy for Russia was brought
out by the news of the engagement off
Port Arthur. The newspapers without ex
ception sorely arraiEned Japan.
Notwithstanding this bitterness. how
ever universal recognition was given of
lapan's audacity. and it was evident that
JapanS naval prestige had been materi-

In Russian diplomatic circles the success

she would certainly conquer on land.

counts against Albert H. Eastman.
president of the Berlin, n. H, National
Bank OF Berlin. Eastman was arrested
by United States Marshal Mute on
Dec. IL, last, charged with making
false entries in the books of the bank,
with intent to deceive the national
| bank examiner.
The indictment reported, today,
| charges Eastman with misapplying and
abstracting funds, credits and moneys
from the Berlin National Bank and the
Gorham National Bank and with max
ing false entries on the books of the
first named institution. The time spec
flied in the document is from July g.
1907. to Oct. 8. of that year and the total
amount involved in the various trans
actions is between $4,000 and $1,000 The
indictment states that the banker held
controlling interest in the stock of
both institutions and the charges are
set forth in 25 counts.
BY order of the court. certain papers
filed with the indictment were not
made public. These documents include
tiii iiiuiClIIleilL against d1lOlnef person.
whose name has not been disclosed in
connection with the Eastman case
Several other banks with which East
man was connected do not figure in the
counts of the indictment against him.
District Attorney Hamblett said, this
afternoon, that he was unable to make
a statement as to the time Eastman
would be arraisned.
The original charge involved a note
for $4,000 signed by Cashier George NJ.
Marshall of the Gorham National
Bank Of Gorham, of which Eastman
was vice president. 1t is alleged that
the note WAS really that of Eastman
and not that of the apparent maker.

Zig limit allowed by law had been
reached by Eastman and that he used
this method to obtain funds.
Eastman was well known throughout
New England as a financial promoter.
