WHY NEUTRALITY
BECOMES IMPERATIVE

PEKING, Feb. 1.-THE edict issued
by the Government declaring it's neu-
trality in the Russo-J Japanese difficult
ty announces that war between these
countries has commenced and says
that. seeing that these nations are
friendly to China, she must declare her
neutrality. Viceroys and Governors
are ordered to maintain neutrality and
to preserve order and carefully protect
missionaries and merchants and for
eign property. The Peking authorities
are especially warned against allowing
the spread of evil rumors. The i'm
portance of protecting legations and
churches is emphasized and disturbers
of the peace are threatened with pun
ishnent. Grave offenders will be sem
fenced to immediate decapitation.
A separate edict reprimanding the
censor who memorializes the throne
against the courts fight says:
''War exists between Japan and Rus
sia, not Japan and China. Moreover,
Peking and it's vicinity are tranquil.
Why then should the court leave?"

Mondays surprise was absolute. The
squadron was anchored, only one ves-
sci using a searchlight. When firing
began the officials and several naval
officers thought that only maneuvers

the Pallada were not destroyed and the
two former are floating in port with re-
parable breaches. Complete repairs
will be difficult at Port Arthur, but the
vessels are utilizable in the roadsted.

JAPANESE ACCOUNT
OF SINKING OF THE
VARIAG AND KORUTZ

NAGASAKI, Feb. 14s-The vessels
that comprised the Japanese fleet
which destroyed the Variag and Ker-
utz were the cruisers Naniva. Taxa
chiho, Asahi, Suma and the Asama.
The Japanese did not lose a man.
dispatch from Chemulpo gives the
following account of the destruction of
the Variag and Korutz:
The japanese fleet, commanded by
Admiral Uriu on the flagship Adzuma,
arrived at noon and sent a wireless
telegram to the japanese cruiser CHI
goda. which was lying at anchor be-
tween the variag and Korutz to join
the feet outside. The Ru- slams found
themselves trapped. Admiral Uriu
then signaIed, giving the Russians five
minutes in which to surrender. The
Russians ignored the demand to sur
readc-- and the Japanese opened fire.
A brisk engagement, lasting two
hours, followed The RussiaI vessels,
getting the worst of an encounter in
which the odds were overwhelmingly
against them, steamed back into the
har1or. The Variag. which was badly
damaged, listed heavily:
Two hours later the Russians at
tempted to break through the Jap
anese fleet which was encountered
four miles from the inner harbo1 Al
fierce fight followed. The Russian ves-
sells were badly damaged. The Korutz
was blown up, presumably by its own
crew. in order to escape capture. A
portion of the crew was rescued by the
Fre-ch and italian essels in the har-
Dor. The Variag tried to escape, but
S Id, enly an explosion occurred and
the Yariag was seen to sink. Wheth-

er she was sunk by Japanese hell or
by Ter own crew is not known.
The United States CUR boat Vicks-
burg and the British cruiser Talbot
witnessed the battle.
The survivors of the Variag and the
Korutz still remain on board of the
British cruiser Talbot, the Italian
cruiser Elba and the FrSnc.l cruiser
Paso L. The situation is becoming
acute, as the Japanese have twice
made demands on the commanders of
the rec foreign vessels that the Rus
slams be surrendered as prisoners of
war. The captain of the Talbot. being
the senior naval officer, each time re-
Piled that he was awaiting instruc-
tions from hiss Government. None of
the Russians are on board the Ameri-
can gunboat Vicksburg, whose COM
mander considers that the Japanese
are right in their demand, as the Rus
sian took advantage of the clemency
of the Japanese, returning to the har-
Dor and then taking refuge on the for
eign vessels and refusing to surrender,
whereas the Japanese fleet refrained
from sinking them in the oren sea as
it could have done.
A magnificent episode of the battle
was the second sortie of the two Rus
sian cruisers. With bands playing the
national anthem, the international
gallantry of the Russians, the Variag
and Korutz faced the entire Japanese
fleet and certain destruction.
The position of the wrecks appears
to be such that it will be easy to re-
cover the same. The Russian losses
were one officer and forty men killed
and 464 wounded.

RUSSIA'S BALTIC SEA
FLEET HAS BUT FOUR
UP-T0-DATE VESSELS

The report from Germany that fif-
teen Russian warships have started
from the Baltic Sea for the
Orient is apparently an exaggera-
tion. There remain in the Baltic ports
only eight battleships. four armored
cruisers. seven coast defense ships and
two protected cruisers. OF the battle
ships the Alexander III, Borodino,
Kniaz Souvaroff and Orel are new
ships, launched in 19O1-02 and ought
to be completed by this time. They
are of 1850 tons and eighteen knots
speed. The Alexander ii, the Peter
Veliki and the Sissoi Veliki range
from 1927 tons to $3.50 tons and are
deficient in speed and protection. The
Navarin, Of 10, 200 tons, also is out of
date. None of the four armored cruis-
ers are fit to stand up against the
rough usage by Japanese ships, as
they are comparatively old, of small
size and slow speed.
The coast defense ships range in
size from 3462 to 4200 TONS three be-
ing built as far back as 1S67-6S, the
others in 1S93-s4-96. They are rated
at about ten knots and would be ut
terly useless in the open sea.
The two protected cruisers are the
Almax and the Admiral Korniloff
The latter was built in 1887 and has
done many years service in Asiatic
waters, necessitating her present re-
construction, now in progress; and the
Almaz, just completed, is of only 1886
tons.
Under the most favorable conditions
the Baltic relief force would not exceed
the four new battleships referred to,
with the possibility Of the Navarin be-
ing added.

WRIGHT C0RRECTS HIS
REPORT THAT RUSSIAN
SHIPS ARE AT MANILA

WASHINGTON, Feb. l4.-The ad-
ministration is somewhat puzzled over
the report from Governor Wright that
there were seven Russian warships in
Manila Bay yesterday. Secretary Taft
received a cable message from Gov
ernor Wright yesterday afternoon,
which read:
Dor. Send Instructions. Has United
States declared neutrality?"
Secretary Taft Immediately took this
message TO the White House and a
conference with the President and
Secretary Hay followed. Secretary
Hay was anxious that these warships
should get away from Manila before
their presence should generally become
known, to prevent the danger of a
naval battle In the region OF the Phil
ippines and possibly in waters under
the jurisdiction of the United States.
Secretary Taft cabled the full proc
lamation of neutrality to Governor
Wright and also sent instructions to
the effect that the Russian ships could
be allowed to remain at Manila not
more than twenty-four hours.
Last night Secretary Taft received a
second message from Governor
Wright, saying:
Report OF Russian warships in har-
Dor an error"
Just exactly what is the meaning of
Governor Wrightjs two dispatches
neither the Secretary of War nor the
President t. able to say.

Am Important DIscorery.

Reports have come from New Zeal
and Of what Is regarded as a most inn
portant meteorological discovery, made
by ]. A. Gilruth, who is pathOlOgist in
the public health department of that
colony. Anthrax has appeared among
the cattle Of New Zealand, and Mr..
Gilruth, during the course OF his ex-
periments, discovered BY chance that
an animal particularly susceptible to
the disease, like rabbit or guinea pig,
will resist the most virulent doses OF
anthrax, provided the germs are mixed
with a greater quantity OF another
species Of microbe that, in itself, must
be n-pathogenic, or incapable Of pro-
ducing any disease. A guinea pig or
rabbit inOculated with an infnitesimaI
dose Of anthrax culture will succumb in
from twenty-four to fOrty-eight hours,
but mixing the anthrax culture with a
double quantity Of innocuous organ
ism, the animal feels no i'll effects Mr..
Gilruth has further discovered that a
certain degree Of immunity can be. con-
ferred by inoculating the animal with
the mixed culture.-New York Com

she sank in thirty fathOms.
The Russians have explained their
reasons for firing on the British steam
ship Fuping and wounding three of the
vessel was leaving port without
clearing.
The British steamship Wanshow is
being held by the Russian authorities
at Port Arthur for refusing TO deliver
japanese passengers.
Captain Gundarsen of the Norwegian
collier Bygde has been imprisoned at
Port Arthur for four days for having
in his possession chart OF the Sing
Yang Tan coaling station west of Port
Arthur, and showing the chart to the
Japanese. The japanese were arrested
with him, but their whereabouts is not
known.
It is reported that a correspondent
has been arrested while attempting to
send news by the steamer Chefu, sail
ing for Port Arthur. The captain was
allowed to leave on agreeing TO say
nothing about the unconfirmed report
that fifty-one Russian sailors had been
killed in the engagement on Tuesday
One refugee says he saw seven bodies
landed from a disabled cruiser which
was in a bad position, with a heavy

All foreign steamships that have left
Dalny have heard nothing of the Jap
anese feet or army.
There are 200 japanese still in Port
Arthur, it is said, and there is some
uneasiness concerning their safety.
Refugees who have arrived here claim
that they were thrown into prison and
that their money and clothing were
taken.
The steamship Chefu arrived here to-
day from Port Arthur with a large
number of refugees. mostly Chinese.
but few Europeans. The report of a
land fight between Dalny and Port
Arthur on Tuesday morning is not con-
firmed by those who came from Port
Arthur.
After the attack on Port Arthur
on Tuesday, the Japanese feet did not
return. About thirty shells struck in
town. One on Main street broke every
window. Others struck on the hills
among small houses, one killing
woman and a child. The people are
anic stricken and are leaving the
town by every train.
The German flagship Hansa has ar
rived here for coal. Her movements
are being watched with interest. She
left Port Arthur three weeks ago and
has since that time been cruising in the
Gulf of Pechili and along the Korean
coast. 1t is also remarked that the
German steamer Chefu was given pref
erence over other vessels in leaving
Port Arthur. Advices from Dalny
dated Wednesday, stated that every
thing was quiet there.

JAPAN TO APPEAL
TO THIS COUNTRY
Wants America to Protest Against Rus

Subjects.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1-Japan Will
appeal to the United States 10 prevail
on the Russian Government to release
the 100 Japanese subjects reported de-
tanned at Port Arthur. Takahira, the
Japanese Minister. will. it is expected.
present the appeal to Secretary Hay to-
morrow.
In cablegram received from Toxic
to-day the Minister was informed that.
according to news brought to Chefu by
British steamship from Port Arthur,
100 Japanese refugees had been taken
from the steamship by the Russian
authorities just before the vessel sailed.
in spite of the protest of the japanese.
Having agreed to look out for Jap
anese citizens in Russian territory dur
ing the war, this government will in
struct Mccormick. the American Am
bassador in st. Petersburg. to inquire
of the Russian Government as to the
Japanese in question
The best naval opinion here is to the
effect that the detention Of these Jap
anese at Port Arthur is a strategical
necessity to prevent the japanese gain
ing information as to Notifications,
troo etc. An official says:
Franco-Prussian war Representative
Hit, who was then in charge of the
American Legation there, looked after
the large number of Germans who were
deta at Paris by the French Gov
ernment."
Although Rus=ia's answer to Sec
retary Hays note asking her to respect
the neutrality of China and lOcalize
hostilities as much as possible, has not
vet been received the State Depart
ment knows Indirectly from London
and Paris that Russia will reply favor
ably. 1t then will remain for the pow
ers to fix the scope of their note and
to draft a more definite proposition for
acceptance by the two combatants.
Satisfaction is expressed by admins
tration circles that Great Britain as
we'll as Russia has decided to waive
objections TO the note. 1t is expected
that all the formal answers to the Sec
retary's note will reach here early this
week.
