st. Petersburg. Feb. 2-In spite Of
the expressed hope of the Russian au.
thorities that the present crisis will
be passed and that a pacific solution
OF the Russo-Japanese negotiations
will be reached it is no longer con.
cealed that Russia is practically pre-.
pared for eventualities. During the

: It has been we'll known for months
that Russia has been steadily strength.
ening her army and navy in the far
East to meet the preparations which
Japan was openly making. The avail
able warships were dispatched to the
far East and the last division, which
left the Mediterranean a month ago,
is now neaHing it's destination. Quiet
ly, but surely, it was necessary that
Russia's preparations should keep
pace with those of her diplomatic ad'
versary. The feverish activity Of
Japan during the last few weeks
naturally increased the distrust of
her ultimate intentions and the Rus
sian authorities have been pushing
Inelr precautionary measures Will
more vigor. 1t is understood that six
or seven military trains daily have
been going east over the Siberian
road and the charters of some ships
cargoes for the Pacific have been can
celled because the water route was
considered too slow.
The authorities now feel that the
situation is secure should Japan re-
ject Russia's proposition.
The draft of Russia's reply probably
will be submitted to the czar within
twenty-four hours It is stated that
it will be pacific and should "lead" to
a settlement.
The Russian papers agree that
treaty guarantees covering Manchuria
and permission for Japan to fortify
Southern Korea, making a closed sea
of the Sea of Japan, are impossible.
