Predicts End of War.
st. Pr .rsburg, Feb. 24.-"The war
will enl In gust or September, in the
complet de 1T of the Japanese said
to a pr IS preventative Tuesday a
high aJ hC, yty. in intimate touch with
the Russiad war plans, whose opinion
can be taken faithfully to refectthe be-
lief in the highest official quarters. He
added:
How the Japanese can hope to sue
GEE when our army in the east is
strengthened to point equal or SUI
perior in numbers to that of our adver-
saries we are honestly unable to com
prehend 1t will not be difficult to place
200 900. 100000 or even 500 600 addition
al men in the field, If necessary When
our forces are concentrated and ready
they will finish by driving the japanese
into the sea. Frankly, it seems to us
that the Japanese either have utterly
failed to appreciate Russia's resource s,
or have counted on the aid Of Great
Britain or the United States, neither OF
which ever contemplated becoming in
yolved So far as Great Britain is con-
cerned we do rot believe any halluciaa-
tioRs existed there We think the Brit
ish statesmen who did so much to push
Japan into war, realized that with
Japan's defeat they would accomplish
twoethings for Great Britain-tirst, to
give Russia check-for, of course, the
war must impede our progress temper
arily; second, to cripple Japan's mari
time power, which was beginning to be
greatly felt in the Pacific"
1t can be said with the utmost posi-
tiveness that Russia will bide her time
She will act on the defensive until she
feels confident that her weight of num-
bers will leave no doubt as to the result.
Reinforcements are going forward att the
rate of 5000 per day Probably some
time will elapse before Russia feels fully
prepared to assume the offensive.

that this was delaying the ice railroad
the Russian forces are trying to build
across the lake. 1t was probably be-
cause of this that the three regiments
were lost
This is the second great disaster
that is reported to have befallen the
Russian army on Lake Baikal. Pre-
vious dispatches told of 600 Russians
having been frozen to death while on
22-mile march across the ice to re-
pair break in the railroad.
1t is believed that the three regi.
ments said to have been drowned were
aboard train on the ice railroad,
that the ice gave way under the huge
weight, and that train and all went
to the bottom.
Russian Reply Received.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 20.--Russia's re-
apply to Secretary Hays note on China
was handed TO Ambassador Mccormick
Friday.
Washington, Feb. 20.--It is the pres
emit intention merely to acknowledge
the Russian note. While the text OF the
note is withheld at present, it is urGer-
stood that Russia attaches condition to
the effect that acceptance of the PROPOSE
ton is not to be regarded as eXcluG-
ing Manchuria from the seat Of war
1t is stated That Japan has consented to
allow several United States army OF
GERS to accompany the japanese forces
in the field as military observers. Not
quite so explicitly Russia has indicated
that she may be able TO accommodate
some American military observers after
March Is.
Censorship Abolished.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 20.-The Russian
government has abolished the censor
ship upon all news and other kilograms
going abroad, The lifting of the en-
barge, which has existed for generations
upon the free transmission of news from
the Russian empire, came as direct re-
suit of consideration of the subject by
the czar himself, and in some respects
this abolition is regarded here as the
most important act since the emancipa-
ton Of the serfs. Under regime allow
ing perfect freedom TO the foreign press
il is believed that Russia will soon cease
to be constantly subject TO underground
attack, and that she will see herself
through honest spectacles. The in
hternal censorship is to be retained, but
foreign dispatches are to be entirely free.
InaSmuch as a state OF war exists tele-
grams from the theater of hostilities
will be subject to the same kind of mill
tary censorship enforced in all coun-
tries under similar circumstances.

ST. Petersburg, Feb 24.-Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff has sent the follow
ing circular to Russian representatives
abroad: Since the rupture of the
negotiations between Russia and Japan
the attitude Of the Toxic cabinet has
constituted open violation of all Gus
tomary laws governing the mutual rela-
lions OF civilized nations. without
specifying each particular violation of
these laws on the part of Japan, the i'm
perial government considers it necessary

powers to the acts Of violence commit

spect to Corea. The independence and
