who was recently wounded while recommending
a Japanese position, criticised the Japanese
shooting as not up to the mark. and said the
Japanese relied upon the quantity rather than
the quality of their fire.
The general declared that the Japanese are
overslow and cautious. This criticism may be
somewhat discounted. however by the fact that

THE Japanese is a cunning and dangerous

NOT TO REVISE TREATY.
Dardanelles Question Likely to Go
Orer Until End of War.

Paris. July 22-It was said at the Foreign
Cfflce to-day that the exchanges of cornmunica-
tons going on between London. st. PETERSBURG,
and Paris show that the tension OF the Anglo
Russian situation has been materially relieved
1t now appears that Russia has submitted to the
British government a proposition which. If ac-
ceptable. will serve as the basis for an adjust
ment. These exchanges have been somewhat
informal and are described as hints but they
are sufficiently clear to indicate Russia's pur-
pose 10 adjust the question.
1t is asserted that the prospective adjustment
VIII be confined to the seizure OF the MalacCa,
and will not include the general question of the
right of Russia under the Treaty of Paris 70
send vessels OF the volunteer fleet through the
Dardanelles. 1t is considered inopportune to
discuss readiustment of the rights of the powers
under the Treaty of Paris in time of war; and
therefore II the question Of readJustment is
raised 1t probably will go over until the close
OF the war in the Far East.
