JAPANESE COMPLAINTS.
Baron Hayash2s Vie1cs on aid GiUen
to Baltic Fleet.

London, Nov. 26.-Baron Suyematsu. son in
law Of Marquis Ito. President of the Japanese
Privy Council, whose comment was fully in
dorsed by Baron Hayashi. the Japanese Minister
here, discussing the irritation of Japan at the
continued supply of British coal TO vessels Of
the Russian Baltic fleet. said to-day:
We feel strongly that Europe in general is as
sisting Russia in way never contemplated
Even In England individuals are rendering
much indirect assistance. Although 1 do not
think the japanese are unduly nervous regarding
the effect Of the arrival Of the Russian squadron
in the Far East, il would never have been able
to put to but for the assistance Of subjects
of neutral States, IN some more or less off,
Cially connived at.
Without English coal the Russian squadron
could not have gone far. and II is my belief
that when contraband trade is being carried on
in such a wholesale and open fashion the gov
eminent concerned should take steps to pre-
vent a continuance of action prejudicial to an
other nation, especially when that nation hap
pens to be an ally. There is all the greater ne
cessity for this when the action is prejudicial
10 the interests Of both nations. The value of
the alliance to both Japan and Great Britain is
undeniable, and therefore ii is the bounden duty
of both TO do everything possible to cement it.
even TO the extent OF inventing means for doing
so when they do not already exist.

J4P4N'S AIMS BLOCKED.
Failure of Plans to DriOe Russians
from Manchur1G.

Afoukder Nov. 25-The lapse OF six weeks
without fighting on any large scale and the IN
expected demonstration Of force which the Rus
SLAMS have been able 10 make since the depletion
of their army in the battle OF Shakhe River en-
7,hasize conclusively the failure of the Japanese
to prevent the assembly of q large Russian army
IN Manchuria before spring, thus defeating the
strategy Of the japanese and their plans for an
early occupation OF all Manchuria
This outcome taken IN connection with the
general situation, appears 10 guarantee thaI
with the opening of spring there Will begin
contest far more terrible than any yet fought
which points to the termination of the war IN
the next campaign It is stin possible that there
viii be a general engagement in the winter, but
the weather is now uncertain, and seemingly
renders II impossible for the troops Of either
army TO abandon their present shelters.
Gradual changes have been made In the diff
ferent departments of the Russian army since
the abolition OF the viceroyalty. as Alexien g
partisans have returned to Europe with him.
The hostilities are now characterized by in
dtvidual efforts Of a most daring and dangerous
character. One result Of the proximity Of the
Russians and japanese along the shakhe has
been the occasional blowing UP Of houses by
the outposts.
The Chinese authorities have taken prelin1i-
nary steps TO bring grain from the north ana
and villagers. This action was forced by the
restitution which is prevalent for some twenty
miles behind the Russian army. which is COM
wandering all grain and other food supplies
and also because Of the fear that the army VIII
move north again.
The Russians will not allow grain TO pass
through their lines from the Sungari Basin,
which is the main dependence Of the inhabitants
through the area occupied by the armies, to the
mountains in the east, and also TO Hsn-Min-
Tun and other neutral soil

Villages are being rapidly obliterated.

of q time when higher prices be obtained.

ficular curse Of their country.
