ARE DENouNCING JAPAN.
Russian Papers Say Wait TIL We
Get You Land.

st. Petersburg. Feb. 1.-THE news
papers in general denounce the action
of Japan as being treachery, declaring
that it is truly Asiatic." but insist
ing that the issue of the conflict will
not be decided by the naval engage
ments, as the Japanese will have to
meet Russia on dry land, when the
score Will be wiped out.
The Noyoe Nremya says it is quite
possible that the whole of Croea has
been oyerrun by Japanese soldiers in
disguise, and that Russia may first
have to assume the defensive, but when
her forces in southern Manchuria and
Corea are increased the japanese will
realized what they have to meet
God, right and international law
are on our side" the Russ says.
"One hundred and thirty million
Russian hearts are beating in unison
in the desire to eXpunge the traitorous
slight on Russian honor Enough of
defensive tactics; let us drive out the
foe"
The government is sending 300 ex-
ira locomotives for use on the Man

Reply to .Jupnns Challenge.

Reply to Iapans Challenge.
st. Petersburg. Feb 1.-THE Official
Messenger contains the following ''su
preme manifest
by the grace of God We, Nicholas
Russians etc, make known to all our
loyal subjects:
In our solicitude for the mainte-
nance of peace which is dear to our
heart. we made every eXertion 10 con-
soldate tranquility in the far east. In
these peaceful aims We signified as
sent to the proposals of the Japanese
government to revise agreements re-
garding Corean affairs existing between
the two governments. However, the
negotiations beg in upon this subject
were not brought to a conclusion. and
Japan. without awaiting the receipt
of the last responsive appeals of our
government. declared the negotiations
broken off and diplomatic relations
with Russia dissolved
"Withou advising us of the fact that
the breach of such relations would in
itself mean an opening of warlike OPP
erations. the Japanese government
gave orders to its torpedo boats to
suddenly attack our squadron stand
ing in the outer harbor of the fortress
of Port Arthur. Upon receiving re-
ports of the viceroy in the far east
about this, we immeditely commanded
him to answer the Japanese challenge
with armed force
Making known this, our decision,
We with mistaken faith of the AL
mighty. and with a firm expectation
of and reliance upon the unanimous
willingness of all our loyal subjects
TO stand with us in defense of the
fatherland ask Gods blessing upon
our stalwart land and naval forces.

One OF Jnpnn's objects.

Tie unwillingness Of the Russian
fleet at Pert Arthur 10 leave the pro
lection of the shore batteries enables
Japan, in the opinion OF naval experts
here. to conduct her landing opera
tons unmolested. 1t is believed Port
Arthur will be invested on the land
side as quickly as possible.
One of the objects of the japanese
in engaging the forts, IL was further
pointed out, was doubtless to draw
the Russian fire and locate the guns
on shore That the japanese ships
withdrew was not regarded as indicat-
ing losses
A contrast is also made between the
condition of the Japanese and Rus
sian ships. All the former have been
docked within six weeks, and every bit
of internal apparatus was in perfect
order and tuned up for action, while
some of the Russian vessels, it was
added. had not been locked for year
which Way Did They GO.
Which way did Japan's new cruisers,
the Nisshin and Kasuga, go after leav-
luS singapore Is one OF the SUBJECTS
fer specultion on the part of the Ger
man officers the favorite view being
that they sailed westward, so as to
lie in the course of the Russian troop
ships bound eastward, one and possibly
two OF which were beyond Alden, sail
ing eastward before hostilities began.
Although the two new japanese
cruisers are far from being complete
ly equipped they might lie an even
match for the Russian armOred cruiser
Dmitri Donskoi and her accompanying
torpedo boats.
The breaking of the Manchurian rail
road at one or two points far west of
Hardin. is expected, as the Japanese
working in Manchuria are thoroughly
familiar with the topography and are
likely to have been prepared to act,
only waiting for the announcement
that the war had begun
