JAPS SAY LITTLE,
BUT THINK MUCH
Conspiracy of Silence" Reveals Won
drous Patience and Faith.

LONDON. Feb. 26.-War CORE
spondents and Europeans in Japan,
commenting in amazement upon the
success of Japanese officials in pre-
serving secrecy regarding all the oper-
atfons of war, declare this CONSPIRACY
Of silence is not confined to govern
ment and service circles, but extends
to every section of the community. All
classes of people are submitting with
marvellous patience to being deprived
Of news, which they recognize as i'm
peratfve to the success Of the cause
1t is undoubtedly in pursuance of this
policy that no japanese account Of the
Port Arthur attacks has yet been pub
Hshed and none is expected until Ad-
m1ral Togo has completed his designs
there.
No further news of an attack on
Port Arthur after the engagement in
which the Japanese attempted to sink
vessels in such a manner as to block
the harbor entrance has reached Lon
don. Almost all the English newspa-
pers, In discussing Viceroy Aexieff s
reports, incline to the belief that Ad-
miral Togo succeeded insofar as to
make the channel impossible for large

YANKEES LOSE TRADE
Russian Merchants Cancel
Heavy Orders.

ST. PETERSBURG Feb. 25.-Irrita-
ton against the United States on ac-
count Of the supposed unfriend1y atti-
tude of that country toward Russia
seems to become daily more pronounc-
ed, caused by the Vfckburg incident at
Chemulpo and the fact that the Vicks-
burg did not take on board survivors
of the Russian ships. American mer-
chants are becoming alarmed at the
prospects of loss Of Russian trade.
Within the last few days orders for
American goods have been counter
manded, the only explanation given be-
ing that the prospective purchasers did
not desire to buy American goods I'M
der the present circumstances. United
States Consul General Watts has been
appealed to in the case of an American
firm which held large contract for
shoe supplies, the contract having been
peremptorily countermanded. Orders
for big amount Of wood pulp have
been countermanded, the intended pur-
chaser saying he could not be expected
to do business with America after the
Vicksburg incident.
Mr.. Watts has written to the state
department, pointing out the state of
public feeling here and the great pros
pective damage to American trade I'M
less measures were taken to allay the
irritation
In government circles it is seen that
Russian susceptfbflities have been
wounded and the fear is expressed that
should Washington now disregard Rus
STA and procure exeqUaturs from Pc
king for the newly appointed American
consuls a. Mukden and Antung and
attempt to send those officials to their
posts a really unpleasant incident
might be created. Russia does not
want to be placed in the position Of re-
fusing to allow those consuls to enter
on their duties, but with a feeling of
war existing and commerce at a stand
still military regulations are paramount
and Russia might feel herself war
ranted III interpreting such a course on
the part of the United States to be po-
litical rather than commercial.
The refusal of Russia to allow Mr..
Morgan, the newly appointed American
consul at Dalny, to go to his post Of
present is based solely on the military
situation, which may compel all for
eigners to leave Dalny. The sincere
hope is expressed that the United
States will not embarrass Russia fur
Their by pressing the question of con-
sular representation at this time.

CUTTING RUSSIAN LINES.

Special Gable to The Globe.
LONDON, Feb. rs. = The Japanese
purpose in move at Possiet bay seems
to be to cut the Russian military lines
in Manchuria in two in the middle,
keeping reinforcements and supplies
from the Russians while they deal with
the ears troops at Port Arthur, Dalfy,
New-chwang and other points in
Southern Manchuria.
The certainty that the Japanese are
in Northeast Manehuria is regarded by
American, German and English naval
officers here as the gravest sort of news
for Russia. 1t is not believed they will
attack Hardin, which is fortified, but
after destroying telegraph lines will
rush north to the Siberian road, de-
stroy it effectively at the Mutan river,
where the bridge is half a mile long,
and perhaps at the Muren river. This
would shut off Vladivostok from all
relief by way Of the Siberian road.
With the city shut off by water also it
would be useless as a base of any sort.
Of more interest is the position Of the
Russian army if the Japanese invasion
in Northeast Manchuria has been car
ried out in force. The Russians, should
behind them and in front, with the
sea cutting them off east and west.

NEW CHWANG, Feb. 25.-A Cos
sack regiment is patrolling to the west
Of Lao river, and a collision with
Imperial Chinese troops who are guard
ing the Shaukaikwan-N New chwang
railway is feared. Foreign engineers
on the railroad, however, say that ac-
cording to their information there
IS no Russian force west Of the Lao
river except a guard Of twenty five
COssaeks at Koupantzou. The advance
has caused CONSERVATION among Euro
pean civilians living on the line Of
march.
Several military officers are here
at New chwang waiting for permission
to accompany Russian troops into the
field to observe military operations.
They have been informed it will be
impossible to grant such permission
until the middle of March.
FINANCIAL STRENGTHENING.

TOKYO, Feb. 25.-Japan is taking
pecautions to insure the strength Of
her war chest. Baron Suyematsu, late
minister for the interior under Marquis
Ito, whose law he is, has SAIL
ed for England to undertake negotia-
tons there. Baron Kaneko, who was
minister Of justice under Marquis Ito,
accompanied by Vice President Taxa
hashi, Of the bank of Japan, has headed
similar mission to America
The total strength of the Russian
troops now in Korea does not exceed
one thousand. They are gradually fall
ing back in the direction of the YaIu
river before the Japanese advance. The
Russians in Manchuria are seriously
hampered by the scarcity Of coolies and
by the activity of mounted bandits.

saying the Japanese had again attacked
Port Arthur Sunday morning and had

The fact that the Japanese have renew
