London, Feb. 3.-Mr. Edgcome, So
licitor for Baroness de Roques, moth
er of Mrs. Maybrick, believes that the
determination of the government to
release Mrs. Maybrick partly, is at
tributed to Ambassador Choate. He
adds that the baroness and her daugh-
ter have decided to live in seclusion
Tor some time. Mr.. :Edgcome soes not
say where Mrs. Maybrick is at pres
ent, and the newspapers print widely
varying statements concerning her
whereabouts, but it is believed that
the ofiicial statement that she has not
yet been actually given her liberty ts
correct and that she will not be free
sor two or three months yet. Mean
while she will be confined in house
Of refuge, where the discipline is in no
way as strict as it is at the Aylesbury
prison. from which she was removed
some days ago.

Rome, requested an. interview Of M.
Motono, the Japanese minister, yes
terday afternoon. The meeting lasted
for quarter of an hour, but nothing
concerning lit has been given out Of

however, that Mgr. Lorenzelli offered
Japan the mediation of the pope, If it
was not too late, to settle the con-
flict without declaration of war and
bloodshed. It is said that M. Motono
promised to telegraph this offer to his
government at once.
France Will Keep Out Of It.
Paris, Feb. 1O.-There is no ques-

happenings in the Far East. All the
newspapers this morning, without dis
tinction of party, are striving to re-
assure the public on the possibility Of
France being drawn into the conflict.
According to the Matin, M. Del
casse's reply to deputy who asked
whether the Russian alliance would
not oblige France to intervene in case
Great Britain or some other power

there might be moral engagement,
