lnunicates its substance 10 his govern
ment is untrue.
The Associated Press is semi-ofIiciaI-
" assured that the Russian response
win not be sent before Feb. .. at the
earliest.
The tension uaquestionably is in
creasing, and the bourse shows an ad-
verse feeling, but beyond the decided
Russian military activity there is little
definite news.
NJ. Kurino denies that the foreign Of
flee has given him an intimation of the
nature of the reply. The Japanese le-
cation is without advices indicating in-
portant developments in Japan, but il
IS admitted that the long delay in the
response, coupled with the reports Of
russian military activity are doubtless
increasing the tension and gravity of
the situation in Japan
The strain here is manifested by the
continued seni-paniCky condition of

hitherto the continental press has done
nothing TO check the agitation in the

that if the newspaper exaggerations
had been eliminated there was no rea-
son why the negotiations should not al
