RUSSIA TO PURSUE
WAR TO BITTER END
Emphatic Statement Made by Count
Cassini at Washington.
COUNTRY'S PRESTIGE AT STAKE
Count Says Russia Can No More Adj
nit Interference Than Could
the United States in Her
War With Spain.

Washington, NOV. 15.-"Russia will
pursue the war in the far east to the
bitter end, that is, until Russia has
conquered" These are the opening
words of an emphatic statement made
at the Russian embassy Monday by
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor.
Several times, recently, the ambas-
sador, in the name of his government,
has categorically denied the possibili-
ty of any Intervention in the war, but
the recurrence of rumors that the
powers contemplate mediation has
caused the ambassador to r%eiterate on
behalf of his government its position
regarding intervention or mediation OF
any Kind. The statement continues:
81 deem it my duty to reiterate what
| have SO often said, that Russia will
not suspend in any case her military
operations in the far east. All rumors
and reports regarding the possible
success of the direct overtures for
peace which Japan is said to have
made to Russia, and regarding the me-
diation of the powers, in my opin-
ion, are started for the purpose OF
convincing the public that the end OF
| the war is close at hand. In this way
it is hoped that the public may be led
to believe that Japan's loans offer at
tfactive investments.
Prestige of Country at stake.
Russia can no more admit of inter
ference than Great Britain could in the
Transvaal or than could the United
States in her way with Spain. Where
the prestige of a country is at stake,
all other considerations are and must
be put aside. Some people may think
that financial difficulties will influence
Russia to end hostilities. Such an
opinion is based on the false assump-
ton of Russia's financial resources.
| There is no doubt whatever that Rus
sia, whose annual income exceed one
million of dollars; can not be infiu-
enced in her attitude toward the out
come of the war by the amount OF war
expenditures. Is it not altogether out
of the question that Russia who did
not expect war, should in the moment
when she has modified her army, and
is sending corps after corps in fight
ing readiness to the far east, suddenly
call a halt on hostilities, particularly
after she has for nearly a year, with
out any difficulty or occurs to extra
ordinary measures, been able to carry
all the extra expenses.
1T is not within my scope to COM
ment upon the new Japanese loan.
That is an affair for the bankers and
for the public, who are able to decide
what advantages or disadvantages the
investment offers. But there can be
no necessity for commenting upon
Russia's credit. Any one acquainted
with the Paris exchange is able to con-
vince himself of the solidity of Rus
sia's finances"
