The story must, however, be viewed
cautiously, the only approach tc con-

which merely says: "Vice Admiral
Makaroff has issued orders to the ef-
feet that the saving of coal is unneces-

the fcrts must not be wasted. Evident
py this ammunition is running short"

Will Not Have to Borrow Abroad.
London, March 15.-Tne correspond
ent Of the Morning Post at Toxic
throws light upon Japanese financial
Intentions, and says it is estimated
that Japan will be able to maintain a
war fer eighteen months without Dor.
rowing abroad. The policy is to re-
tain the gold in Japan, and it is be-
lieved that it will not be necessary to
spend abroad more than one-eighth of
the cost of the war, this expenditure
being chiefly on coal, cordite and
steel. The fact that Port Arthur is
completely blockaGed permits a great
saving, because Japan will be able to
charter vessels at peace rates.
