CALL BUREAU. HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON. Oct. 24-The firing
upon the British trawling feet by the
Russian Baltic squadron may develop
into a more serious incident than was
al first regarded as probable. The af-
fair was officially brought before the
State Department to-day by a report
from w. c. Hamm. the Consul at Hull,
g. which he Confirmed the press dis
patches and told Of the intense excite
ment in England. Later in the day
there was unofficial inquiry from the
British Government as to the American
view Of the case and an informal sug-
gestiOn for joint action under certain
conditions The British Government
considers that it is a question for the
nations TO decide whether, in the in
terests Of neutral commerce and to pre-
vent the possibility of further slaugh-
ter Of neutrals, it is not advisable for
the powers to stop the progress of the
Baltic fleet, on account of its misman-
agement and the Incompetence and
panic-stricken condition of its officers.
1t is not certain, according TO the
information in Washington, that even
8 prompt apology from Russia with
incident will not be repeated, will
change this view Of the case, for the
British Government is thoroughly
aroused to the danger of a continuance
OF such stupidity as was displayed by
the Russians in the North Sea. There
Is every indication that il England was
assured of the support Of other neutral
powers she would hold the Russian
feet up. either at Gibraltar or at the

Del il to return TO Russian waters,
where il would be out of the way of
doing further harm
This is the feature of the affair which
is being considered tonight by the
State Department officials. They be-
lieve that the question which has been
Informally brought UP by England is
likely soon to be raised officially and
they are in doubt as to just what an

Secretary Hay is worried by the fear
that the incident will take a very Sc
Tious turn and depressed by the danger

good ground for the Russian fear that

anese submarines or torpedo boats long
before il reaches its destination, with
fighting far outside of the zone to
which il was agreed to confine HOSTILE
ties, there is no telling where the
spread of the war win end, in the opin-
ion Of Hay.
Under the conditions which have re-
suited from the North Sea episode Hay
does not regard a general European
war as nearly so much of an irfpos-
sibiiity as he did before. If England
should assume an attitude sf Open
hostility TO Russia. the Gar would i'm
mediately call on France TO join forces
with Russia, under the terms of their
offensive and defensive treaty This
probably would drag Germany into the
conflict, for there seems to be a secret
understanding between the Car and
the Kaiser that is very complete.

Action
Complexities
Situation

LONDON, Oct 24.-Count Bencken-
dorff, the Russian ambassador, re-
turned to London tonight from cele-
brating his silver wedding anniversary
with his wife's relatives in Silesia and
barely escaped assault from a crowd
at the Victoria station which followed
him almost into the embassy. Fortu-
nately for the issue of peace or war
nothing resulted; yet, throughout the
night, special force of police was
compelled to guard the Russian en-
bassy.
Count Benckendorff has been always
regarded in official circles here as a
friend of peace and he was as much
opposed as was Count Lamsdorff to
the Russo-J Japanese war. Indeed, he
issalmost an Anglophile in sentiment
There Is no doubt that Count Benck-
endorf was deeply hurt by to-night's
demonstration. After escaping from
the hostile crowd that met him at the
station he drove at a gallop to the
embassy. Half a dozen rowdies fol-
lowed, but the ambassador arrived un-
harmed. His noisy pursuers encount-
cred a Gordon of police that had been
hurriedly dispatched to guard the en-
bassy. After singing rule Britannia"
the disturbers dispersed. no arrests be-
ing made, but the police continued to
guard the embassy as IL it were a
British fortress.
With such vigilance did they carry
out their task that when Prince Sviato-
polk irsky, a cousin of the new Rus
sian Minister of the Interior and Sec
ond secretary of the embassy, arrived
he had hard work getting in. Count
Benckendorff had telegraphed to him
to come to the embassy to write a long
cipher message to ST. Petersburg de-
scribing to-night's hostile demonstra-
ton. In reply to a request for some
statement to the press the ambassador
sent word that he could say nothing,
but 1T was gathered that he had sent
dispatch to st. Petersburg which may
add to the existing delicacy of the
situation. Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky
said:
THE attack on the trawlers was OBJ
viously either an act of war or great
mistake. No sensible man can now
think 1t was an act of war, and there
fore 1t was mistake, and when you
have made mistake all you can do is
to apologize and pay for it. Neither
the trawlers nor the affair of tonight
is likely to produce a clash between
two powers who have every reason,
from a selfish point of view, to pre-
serve peace between themselves"

1880 o'clock tonight the Admiralty
announced that it had not yet received
a report.
At the same hour the Foreign Office
issued a statement expressing the re-
grets of the Government for the de-
plorable incident, but explaining that
no formal action was possible until
Admiral Rojestvensky's official report
of the affair had been received.
The purpose of the Government to
make amends, if Rojestvensky shall be
found to have been in fault, has been
proclaimed in every Government de-
partment. Emperor Nicholas himself
was greatly aggrieved when he heard
the news. while he was inspecting the
cruiser Greg at Kronstadt this after
noon, and Foreign Minister Lamsdorff
expressed TO ambassador Hardinge his
deepest personal regrets.
The Russian embassy in London also
has been directed to convey similar ex-
pressions to the Government of Great
Britain. 1t is felt that this is all that
can possibly be done, pending the re-
ceipt Of Admiral Rojestvenskys state
ment

committed is recognized and deplored

BODIES TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED

LONDON, Oct. 24.-In order that
there should be no possible error re-
garding the peaceful occupation OF the
fishermen killed by the fire from the
Russian warshfps in the North Sea, the
Foreign Office has communicated to
the Hull Coroner a request that the
bodies from the Crane should be photo

testimony called to show that the

hands was due to rigor mortis and not
to being subsequently placed there"
The articles referred to are q fish
and a knife found in the hands OF the
dead captain of the Crane.
1t is understood that the Government
also has invited the Russian Embassy
to send medical men to examine the
bodies.

Japanese to Sail for Native Land To-

japanese to Sail for Native Land To-
Day to Join Army.
Between thirty and forty Japanese
will sail on the China to-day, bound
for their native land to take up arms
in the war with Russia. When they
left Japan friends and relatives
vouched for their return should the
country ever need their services in
the army and in obedience to notifica-
tions this delegation from the Pacific
Coast has prepared for its long trip
to perform the duty of patriotism.
No particular significance attaches
to the departure OF these thirty or
forty Japanese" said Consul Uyeno
last night. TT does not mean that
Japan is running short OF men at
home. On the contrary, the number
of men available for arms IS many
times that of the present number in
the field. Owing to the arrangement
Of divisions in the reserve forces these
men who will sail to-morroY are en-
titled to go to the war before others
at home and the Government is giving
them the opportunity of service they
are so eagerly seeking. There are
about $4,000 Japanese on the Pacific
Coast and to a man they are feverish-
ly wishing for the chance to return
to Japan and go to the front.
THE total number of Japanese who
have left San Francisco to fight for
their country is not more than zoo.
Several small delegations have gone
forward"

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 24.-The
Car has again given General Kuropat-
kin the order that Port Arthur must be
reached at any price. The coming
struggle, when word to advance Is
given, is sure to be far more obstinate
and bloodthirsty than the last. The
Hardin hospitals are being again
cleared and the occupants sent forth.
A correspondent from the front says
the enemy is so close that If even a
head Is shown it is a signal for hun
dred rife shots.
The order for mobilization in March
calls for 100000 troops, also all the re-
serve officers in the empire.
l am told that Kaulbars has refused
to command the first army.
Both armies are heavily entrenching
along the Shakhe River, although 1T is
believed General Kuropatkin will order
the forward movement at an early mo-
ment, unless heavy japanese reinforce
ments compel him to resume the defen-
sive. Reports that Japanese reinforce
ments are arriving, taken in connection
with the enforced inactivity of the
Russian forces on account of the
weather, are felt to be grave factor
in the situation. There Is reason to
believe that the Japanese are drawing
heavily on the Port Arthur army, as
well as upon Japan, in the hope Of OBJ
tanning a numerical superiority that
will enable Field Marshal Oyama to in
fiict crushing blow upon General Ku-
ropatkin when hostilities are resumed.
Emperor Nicholas has received the
following dispatch from General Kuro-
patkin, dated October %:
THE night of October 1928 passed
quietly. At o'clock this morning the
whole Of our volunteer sharpshooters
harassed the enemy, while the Japan
csc tried to attack our outbosts, but
were everywhere repulsed by the Rus
eian fire."
