DOGS OF WAR HOWL
WITH LEASHES SLACK
LIKE A BLOW IN FACE
IT CAME TO RUSSIA.
Action Taken by Japan Not Looked
for at st. Petersburg.

Action Taken by Japan Not Looked
for at st. Petersburg.
st. Petersburg, Feb. AL
though the fear was general here
yesterday that the presentation of the
Russian note to Japan might be fol-
lowed by an act on the part of the
Japanese government, which would
plunge the two countries into war, the
startling action of Japan in severing
diplomatic relations with Russia be-
fore the actual delivery of the Russian
note, came like a bolt from a clear sky.
1t was believed that the receipt of the
note might have unmasked an ulti-
matum, but that Japan should sever
diplomatic relations "a step little short
of a declaration of war, was almost
like a blow in the face under the pres
ent circumstances, and it is resented
here accordingly. The authorities be-
lieve this action places Japan distinctly
in the wrong before the world
The news that at any moment Japan
had drawn the sword and that the first
clash had occurred would not be sur
prising.
Events Moved Rapidly.
The events leading to Japan's abrupt
action have marched with great rapid
ity. The Russian note was already
in the hands of Baron DeRosen, Rus
sian minister. to Toxic for delivery to
Baron Komura, the Japanese foreign
minister, when at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon M. Kurino, the Japanese
minister here, presented himself at the
Foreign Office and informed Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff that his govern
ment, in view of the delays in connec-
ton with the Russian answer and the
futility hitherto of the negotiations,
considered it useless to continue diplo-
matte relations, and would take such
steps as it deemed proper for the pro-
lection of Japan's interests. In obedi-
ence to instructions, therefore, he ask
"a for his passports.
Exactly what else passed at this in
leINlGW 10 llOb hllOWAls CASCQb lhdl
Count Lamsdorff expressed surprise
and regret at this hasty resolve of the
Mikado's government. M. Kurino re-
ceived his passports.
Another version of the situation at
the time NJ. Kurino notified Count
Lamsdorff of the course his govern
ment had elected to pursue is that
the Russian reply was not in the pos
session of Baron DeRosen, but in the
telegraph Office here awaiting trans
mission, and that it was withdrawn
before being dispatched.
Upon the disclosure of Japan's posi-
ton the Russian authorities met the
situation with great promptness.
Instructions recalling Baron DeRosen
we're forthwith telegraphed and he was
directed to leave Toxic Immediately.
Rigid Censorship Ordered.
With war imminent, orders have
been given for a rigid censorship over
all information relating to naval and
military movements.
Preparations were also made for the
Cars journey to the ancient capital,
Moscow, where the traditional custom

of his forefathers is to invoke divine
guidance. The order for the train was
countermanded late to-day.
Throughout the strain which has just
passed. the attitude of the japanese
minister has been strictly correct. He
declined to offer an explanation of the
course of Japan, saying the authorities
at Toxic doubtless would give the world
their side of the story. He said, rather
sadly, that the rupture of diplomatic
relations did not necessarily mean war
Mr.. Kurino probably will not be able
to get away before Wednesday. The
current business of the Japanese Legal
ton, it is believed, will be turned over
to the British embassy 1t is possible
that the Car may personally under
take the protection of the Japanese in
Russia as Nicholas 1 did in the case
of the English during the Crimean
War.

Government at Washington.
Washington, Feb. War between
Russia and Japan is momentarily ex-
pected in administration and diplomatic
circles.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador, to-day promptly, on the receipt
of a long cablegram from Count Lams-
dorff, the Russian Minister for For
eign Affairs, informed Mr.. LOOMS, the
acting secretary of state, of it. In
substance, Count Lamsdorff's dispatch
was to this effect:
Before Baron DeRosen could trans
init the pacific reply of his government
Foreign Office, the Russian government
received from the Japanese Minister
of Foreign Affairs on Friday last a
brief note, announcing the breaking
off of the Far Eastern negotiations,
the interruption of diplomatic relations
and the recall of Mr. Kurino, the Japa-
nese minister at st. Petersburg, with
the request that he be furnished his
passports forthwith.

acting secretary of state. Count Cas-
SIM added that his government deplor-
ed this untoward turn in negotiations
which his majesty the Emperor had
sincerely hoped might conclude with a
peaceful settlement The ambassador
called attention to the fact that in her
last note Russia had made generous
concessions to Japan in Corea and had
furnished the basis for a continuation
of the negotiations to the advantage of
Japan. 1t was added that the Rus
sian government regarded the action
of Japan as precipitate and remark
able.
OF the final result. the ambassador
could express only his opinion that the
worst seemed probable.
1t was stated that Mr.. Kurino had
received his passports and would leave
the Russian capital tomorrow. Baron
DeRosen has left Toxic.
Later the State Department received
official confirmation of the news from
our representative at st. Petersburg
and Toxic. on high authority the
statement is made that the Japanese
government has not yet received the
Russian reply.

Toxic, Feb. THE severance of Dip
lomatic relations between Russia and
Japan appears to be only step to-
wards war, although when the minis
from their respective posts, quick and
decisive action is expected.
When Minister of Foreign Affairs
Komura on Saturday notified Baron
DeRosen. the Russian minister, of ia
pans determination to sever diplo-
matte relationsr he is reported to have
declared to him that Japan is tired
OF Russia's delays, evasions and insln-
cerity, and has decided to take inde-
pendent action for the conservation of
Japan's Oriental interests.
During the final negotiations Ja-
pans repeated requests for an an
swer were treated in most unsatis-
factory manner. Japan waited un-
til convinced that it was useless to
wait longer, and has now ended the
discussion.
The indications are that there will
be no formal declaration of war. ia
pan will publicly define it's position
and purposes, and the Foreign Office
has prepared a new statement which
probably will be announced tonight.
On Monday Japan unquestionably
win seize Corea. and although Russia
has previously intimated that it would
not interfere. in view of that country's
present attitude, developments are
eagerly waited.

FLAMES STRIKE THROUGH

thousands of people hurried to the
scene of the fire. OF all the spectators,
comparatively few saw the fire itself.
They could not get within half a
block of it. Even the policemen
guarding the approaches to the fire
had to shift their positions repeatedly
and dodge falling cinders. Pieces of
tin six by eight feet square were lifted
into the air by the terrific heat, sailed
upward like paper kites and when
they reached a point beyond the zone
ing to the streets.
Crash after crash could be heard in
the burning district, but even the fire.
men could not tell from what building
they proceeded. In the seething fur
mace of flame all sense of the direc-
ton or locations of buildings was lost.

have their books removed to a place
