AMERICA IND FRANCE
MAY BE

PARIS, March Fan informal sugges-
ton that France and the United States act
jointly as peacemakers in the far Eastern
war has been made within the last week.
and, although officers hold that any peace
overtures would be futile at present, the
suggestion leads to the belief in high quar-
tiers that France and the United States will
become the eventual peacemakers.
The suggestion came from an American
railroad man, who probably has the largest
railroad dealings with Russia of any Amer
lean. During a recent visit to Paris he
called at the American embassy and other
official quarters. He strongly urged that
France and the United States, by reason Of
their international friendships toward the
belligerents, were specially qualified to ini-
tate a peace movement. The suggestion
was entirely unofficial and informal, but
none the less ii was thought that it would
prove a germ for official action. No such
official action is likely at the present time,
as it is the accepted view of the French and
American authorities that neither bellig-
erent would listen TO any peace oVertures.

JAPAN APPROVES WAR
CORRESPONDENTS PLANS
Contractor VIII Run a Field Can
teen for the Benefit of the
Writers.
ROOM FOR ONLY FIFTEEN

NEW YORK, March 12.-Questions Of ar
engagements for the large number of foreign
correspondents here who are DESTROYS OF
accompanying the japanese field forces
have been bothering the War Office a great
deal, says a Herald dispatch from Toxic.
The Japanese wish to afford the correspond
ents every reasonable facility possible to
make them comfortable while campaigning.
but recognize the difficulty. owing TO the
difference of conditions OF living 10 which
foreigners are accustomed. The best the
army could offer was the regular japanese
ration. with transportation OF seventy
pounds of baggage. After a prolonged dis
cussion it was finally arranged for the cor
respondents to appoint a contractor 20 run
a field canteen and undertake field trans
portation. The War Office has approved
this scheme and expects all the correspond
ents 10 rely on the contractor. but will sup
ply ratiOns i'm an emergency. The con-
tractor also supplies the foreign military
attaches. He Is bonded to fulfill his agree
ment.
The War Office has finally decided TO send
only fifteen correspondents with the first
column-eight British, five American, one
Frenchman and one German, this being a
representation proportionate TO the respec-
tive numbers OF correspondents here. Sub
eQuen lots will Omp the different
information as TO when the start will be
made. but the fifteen already selected have
been told 10 be ready TO leave at a mo-
ment'S notice.

JAPANESE WAR LOAN IS
MUCH OVERSUBSCRIBED
Application for 100000 Yen
Worth of Bonds, but Only Ioo,-
100000 to Be Issued.
MEETING OF CABINET

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Japanese
minister here to-day received from his
government a cablegram stating that the
subscriptions to the loan of 100, 0O0.O O yen
exchequer bonds amount now to 56.O0O.O 900
yen. The dispatch further states that it
is expected that when all the returns have
been received the subscriptions will ex-
coed 10000. 900 yen. The small subscrip-
tons, averaging between ninety-five md
200 yen, will, the cablegram states, alone
amount to 100000 yen CS7.5 O.oOO.
TOXIC, March 12.-Practically complete
figures, with FormoSa and some districts
of Japan missing, show that the first issue
OF lO0,O00,000 yen of eXchequer war bonds
has been subscribed four and one-hslf
times. The subscriptions recorded by the
Bank of japan amount to 450, 000,0 900 yen.
This proves the correctness of the prelim-
mary estimate that the government would
be able to raise 500.O 900 yen for war pur-
poses from domestic sources.
The Cabinet and elder statesmen con-
ferred for four hours to-day. They dis
cussed the financial situation and the war
tax measures to be submitted to the special
session of the Diet, and decided to realize
$25,OOO,VOO by p~ostponing the government
undertakings, and S35, 100000 by a war tax.
Ii is understood that a plan extending the
government tobacco monopoly so as TO in
clude manufactured tobacco, and the crea-
ton OF a salt monopoly were considered.
Until recently ii was thought impractfc-
able properly TO consider and pass monopoly
measures at a short session, and il seemed
to have been agreed that they should be
left for action to the regular session. Rus
sia's extensive military programme. how
ever, makes an extension of .Japan's 6nap-
cial programme imperative so the monopoly
measures possibly may be submitted TO the
special session of the Diet.

JAPANESE F|RESH|PS
WERE OF DEADLY KIND
Admiral Stark's Report on Recent
Attempt to Bottle the Rus
sian Fleet.
LETTER FROM A GERMAN

ST. PETERSBURG, March 12.-Admiral
Stark's detailed reports of the attempt to
bottle the Russian fleet at Port Arthur
Feb. "a and the engagement of Feb. Is, says:
The Japanese steamers intended to be
sunk in the Fairway were fireships of the
deadliest sort, being soaked with petroleum
and sprinkled with coal dust. A large
quantity of calcium carbide on board the
ships prevented the possibility of quench-
ing the flames. One of the ships burned
for a week. The Russians also were SER
iously hampered in the pursuit with tor
pedo boats. owing to fear of floating mines
among the wreckage in the roadstead.
Charts found on board the hulks showed
spots where il had been planned to sink
them and also the exact position of the
battleship Retvizan.
lin the action of Feb. %, the cruisers
Novik. Bayan and Askold had gone TO
sea in search of the missing torpedo boat
destroyers Bezposhtchadni and Vnushitelni,
sent out the previous evening. The former.
during the engagement, managed to run In
at full speed, but the Vnushitelni was cut
off by a division of the enemy's cruisers
and returned to Pigot bay, where she was
followed by the japanese, fired upon and
considerably damaged. The compressed air
reservoir of her torpedo magazine was
pierced"

RUSSIAN OFFICERS
WE'RE ON SHORE Il

BERLIN, March ia letter from a Ger
man resident of Port Arthur, dated Feb. Is.
was published to-day. The writer described
the boundless enlightenment of all classes
against the japanese the day after the first
night attack, and explains that the Rus
slams were exercising that evening and the
japanese torpedo boats were taken for
Russians"
Continuing, the letter says: 1.-The Rus
sian officers shared with the Japanese In
the general feeling OF Indignation here,
two-thirds Of the former having obtained
shore leave, some of them calling on Mad
anne Stark, wife of Admiral Stark, TO con-
graduate her. according to the Russian
custom. on the anniversary of her name
day. while others were at the theater. at
their homes or visiting comrades. The Of
ficers found by the police sent in search
of them reached their ships only after the
Japanese had withdrawn"
The writer of the letter declared that
the Japanese would have DESTROYED the
whole squadron IL they had attacked that
evening with their entire force, as the Rus
slams had not even distributed ammuni-
ton to their batteries. The explosion Of
shells in the attack the following day
smashed the windows in the exposed parts
OF the city and occasioned much alarm.
The majority OF the inhabitants passed
the ensuing night in the open air, beyond
the range of the fire. Prices rose fever
ishly, bread became unattainable and cab
men demanded s. for a l5-ccnt ride.

AMERICAN CRUISER
SENT TO

SEOUL, Friday, March 11-(Delayed in
Transmission 1.-The United States ship Gin
cinnati will leave Chemulpo tomorrow for
Chinnampo to bring away the women and
children from the American Company's
mines at Unsan. The families Of American
missionaries south of the Yalu are not con-
sidered to be in any danger, but every pre-
caution is being taken for their safety.
A messenger from the mines at Unsan.
who left Chinnampo on Wednesday last,
says that everything is quiet in that vicin-
ity. Only a few accommodating parties of
Cossacks are seen north of that point and
there are only a few hundred Russians in
all south of the Yalu. There is little pros
pect of any serious conflict in this quarter
within the next six weeks. Thus far there
has been no trouble at the mines and there
is little likelihood that they will be inter-
fered with, both sides having given every
assurance in that respect. The only pos
sible danger is from struggling parties of
pillagers, but from these the miners are in
n position to protect themselves, having
on hand three Colt guns and an ample
supply of rifles.

ACOSSACK OF THE SEA"
IS THE HERO OF THE HOUR
Admiral Makaroff's Name on the
Lip of Every Loyal
Russian.


ST. PETERSBURG, March 12.-Admiral
Makaroff's name is on every lip in st.
Petersburg to-day. He is the hero of the
hour. The details of Thursdays fighting
at Port Arthur did not become public until
this morning when eager crowds, unmindful
of a heavy snowfall, gathered about Viceroy
Alexieff's bulletins which were posted at
every corner. The sorrow over the loss
OF the Russian torpedo boat destroyer was
swallowed up by the admiration caused by
the daring exploit Of the Russian naval COM
mander-in-chief in going personally TO her
rescue.
There is a deep-seated conviction here
that henceforth there will be a change of
sea tactics and that Admiral Makarof will
make the fleet at Port Arthur an agrees
sive force. He enjoys the reputation
throughout the length and breadth of the
Empire of being a dashing officer who de-
lights in brilliant achievements, and his ac-
ton of Thursday adds TO his laurels as a
bold and fearless fighter who loves to take
the chances of var. His ideas run counter
TO those generally accepted by naval ex-
perts and strate gists. One of his pet
aversionS Is armOr. The admiral is ever
outspoken in his criticism of the heavy bat
tleships, which he has always commended
placed too many eggs In a single basket.
and shows his Partially for n fleet COM
posed of a large number OF swift. unarmored
cruisers armed with heavy guns and at
tended by an unlimited number of torpedo
boats. The protected cruiser Novik, to
which he transferred his. flag in the at
tempt to rescue the torpedo boat destroyer
is practically without armor protection.
Admiral Makaroff's prediction for swift
ships has earned him the soubriquet of the
"Cossack of the Sea-" He is not likely
to give the enemy much rest while any
of his cruisers or torpedo boats remain
afloat. Something like a night torpedo boat
attack on the enemy's base behind the
Elliott islands. for instance, would be such
n thing as the admira would undertake. He
began his career with several gallant ex-
ploits during the Turko-Russian war. while
commanding a steamer which he had rugged
up as a torpedo boat and played havoc with
the Sultan's hotilla in the Black sea and
the Dnube.

prevailing feeling was that Russia should
have had more soldiers at Port Arthur and
other points on the Liao-Tung peninsula.
The actual force there, Mr.. Giffard says,
was then not more than 10000 men. The
people felt that this not only did not afford
them sufficient protection, but disclosed to
the Orientals the inferiority of Russia's
military preparations.
