England Hopes That Neutrals Will

LONDON, September 12.-The foreign Of

published by the Heraldo of Madrid that
1t is the purpose of the Russian Baltic
fleet, commanded by Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky, to COAL victual and remain at Cor
unna for a longer period than permitted
by international law and therefore has not
protested against such contemplated action
The British government is closely OBJ
serving the attitude of other nations
in connection with assisting the fleet and
it is intimated that if there should be a
fragrant violation of neutrality there might
of the Anglo-Ja panese alliance, which de-
veloped during the recent discussion with
Russia over Turkeys assent to the passage
through the Dardanelles by the Russian
volunteer fleet steamers Smolensk and St.
Petersburg.
The government hopes that neutral pow
ers will adopt the British attitude, as ex-
emplified by the proclamations OF the gov
ernors of Malta and other points on the
road to the far east, forbidding explicitly
the rendering of any assistance whatever
to belligerent ships on their way to en-
gage an enemy.
The Spanish embassy here denies the re-
port that the Madrid government has re-
ceived a protest from any source in re-
spect to the alleged agreement to permit
Admiral Rojestvenskys fleet to coal and
yictual at Corunna. The embassy asserts
that Spain. in pursuance OF her declaration
of neutrality, will not permit belligerent
act of either Russia or Japan within her

Capt. Ryan reports that the Japanese
themselves admit gross blundorng in al

for Korea and other points without proper
escort and that the raids of the NlaGi-

alarm.

RUSSIA MUST WIN"
Sentiment Expressed by Leading St.
Petersburg Paper.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 12.-M.
Souvorin, manager Of the Novoe Vremya,
in a long leading article in that paper to-
day again discusses the Asian problem
and the argument that the renaissance of
China would be more dangerous to Japan
that to any other country, and points out
that II Great Britain with her AZ, 900, 600
can hold more than go, O,o00, 900 of India in

Great Britain of China. NJ. Souvorln, how
ever considers that Japans threat goes
even beyond Climate India, where. he
SAYS the eyes of the natives in this con-
fiict are turned not toward Russia but
to Japan. He expresses the opinion that
Russia defeat would be followed by
conflict between Japan and Great Britain
and consequently concludes that Russias
interests and those of Great Britain as
we'll as those of other western powers In
the present crisis are bound to be identical
NJ Souvorin says that Great Britain fought
for two years a country one-twenty-fifth
the size OF Japan without any British
statesmen forseeing the money and lives
the would cost, their lack of foresight
being hardly less than that of the Rus
slams, and closes with saying:
No matter how hard the war is upon
the Russian people. Russia must win the
victory, II being even more necessary than
IT was for Great Britain to defeat the
