rut a stop to official land surveys of

The Ber!:ner Tageblatt this morning
published an interview Of its Paris
correspondent with Japanese official
of hi~h rank whose identity, however,
is so thinly veiled as to justify the
surnisc that the minister is meant.
This gentleman said that Japanese in
fluence at Peking was being exerted to
impress on China the necessity of
maintaining neutrality.
The reported offers Of mediation on
the part of England in the Russo-Jap-
anese conflicts are now looked upon
here as altogether devoid OF founda-
tion but the London correspondent of

reason to believe that an Anglo Rus
sian agreement is being arranged with

BERLIN, April 29.-The Tageblatt TO-
day announced from an excellent Rus
sian source that the Russian Govern
ment is about to modify the anti-Jew-
ish legislation. Minister of the Interior
Won Plehve last autumn sent cir
cular TO the provincial authorities in
quiring about the situation and the
causes of the distress and dissatisfac-
ton of the Jewish population. The
provincial authorities, with surprising
unanimity blamed the antiquated laws
for the social and economical disorders
which involved the whole country, and
a commission will be appointed imme-
diately to elaborate milder legislation
and especially to better the condition
of the Jewish proletariat. The greatest
change, it is added, is likely to be q
relaxation of the restriction on resi-
dehce. 1t is not expected in any QUAR-
ter that the revision will result in plac-
ing the, Jews on entire equality with
the Russians.

Hope for Peace Assigned as
the Reason for the Nav

Diplomatic Representative of
the Gar in Washington
Makes Explanation.

NEW YORK. April 29.-Count Cas-
SIM. the Russian Embassador' con-
tributes TO the forthcoming number of
the North American Review an article
in which. under the caption Of Russia
and the Far East" he makes a state
nent Of his Government position.
After briefly outlining the conditions
which preceded the outbreak Of hostill-
tics the Efnbassador says:
Russia has never ceased to wonder
why the idea that she was willing ana
anxious TO make war with japan be-
came so generally prevalent in the
United States. Prejudiced minds, or
those having nothing beyond superb
cial knowledge of the Government s
action preceding the unexpected attack
on our fleet at Port Arthur, may dis
pute the statement that Russia hoped
for peace but ] have no hesitation in
making it. II proof Of the assertion be
demanded il lies in the simple but Un-
contradicted answer, Russia was not
prepared. For the personal representa-
tive Of the Russian Emperor to make
sn admission seemingly so humiliatinS
10 national pride may appear strange
and remarkable to the people of the
United States. but it is made with full
appreciation Of its importance and sig
niflcance. ] repeat that Russia was not
prepared for war. because she had no
reason to expect war. In her faith that
the negotiations with japan were be-
ing conducted h. both parties with the
object OF reaching an amicable and
honorable adjustment of their differ
ences. she was not conscious that the
outcome was to be other than peace
full"
Count Cassini denied that Russia
was actuated by designs to possess
Manchuria or Korea by force Of arms.
and says:
Had Russia desired war, or even
had she expected il, no consideration
would have induced her to evacuate
Chinese territory and thus lose the op-
portunity of ending the war quickly.
Concerning the negotiations between
Russia and Japan. Count Cassini AYERS
that his Government, In an effort TO
bring the negotiators to q peaceful con-
clusion. did all that dignity would per
nit. and offered TO give assurances
again that the sovereignty Of the EN-
pire OF China in Manchuria would be
recognized. Having made this marked
concession solely for the interest Of
peace, Russia awaited the Japa-
nese answer in the expectation
that il would at least be diplomatic in
character and would furnish the basis
for the furtherance Of the negotiations
TO a satisfactory conclusion. Before the
Russian Minister at Toxic could deliver
a reply the japanese answer came, not
through the regular channels, but as
torpedo attack at midnight And now
that war has come, Russia does not
doubt the issue"

SHIP BREAKS IN TWO.
Russian Torpedo Quickly Causes De-
struction of kinshiu Maru.

TOXIC. April 29.-Seventy-th three
Japanese either killed themselves or
were drowned on the transport Kin
shiu Maru. which was sunk by a tor
pedo from the Russian cruiser Rossia
at midnight of April 26 while off Gen
san, Korea.
The Kinshiu parted from convoy of
japanese torpedo-boats in the fog at
II 80 Of the morning before Later she
met some Russian warshiDs and was
ordered to stop. The Rossia steamed
alongside of her and summoned the
officers of the japanese trans
port on board. She sent a searching par
ty on board the Kinshiu Maru and dis
covered two companies of Japanese sol
diers concealed below decks. This was
reported to the Rossia, whereupon the
Russian cruiser discharged a torpedo
at the Japanese transport, striking her
amidships. The Kinshiu Maru was
broken in two. While she was sinking
the soldiers on board rushed upon
deck and fired volleys from their rifles
into the Rossia, and several of them
committed suicide. Three small boats
foated free from the wreckage of the
lTduSDOIl were lllc DledIlS VI say
ing forty-five soldiers and nine of the
passengers and crew. Two army cap
tains and three lieutenants were
among the drowned. Some of the sur
vivors made the land in the boats, and
were brought into Gensan to-day.
Later reports received here from
Gensan concerning the sinking of the
Kinshiu Maru by the Russian cruiser
Rossia indicate that the soldiers who
killed themselves as the vessel went
down or were drowned refused to sur
render TO the Russians. choosing death
in preference. One on-commissioned
officer committed harakiri, accord
ing TO ancient custom, while the other
men used rifles with which to put an
end to their lives. Official reports
agree in placing the number of casual
ties at seventy-three. 1t is not known

'
age and Makes Safe Return.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 29-The
details of Rear Admiral Yeszen's raid
shows that it was entirely successful
The admiral safely brought back his
ships to Vladivostok after infiicting
material and moral damage on the
enemy
The cruise was most daring. The
enemy's squadron was known to be in
proximity, which necessitated the
prompt sinking of the japanese trans
port Kinshiu Maru.
The conduct of the 130 troops re-
naming on board the Kinshiu Maru in
refusing to surrender and firing upon
the Russians. even while the transport
was sinking, evokes unbounded admi-
ration.
The japanese are jealous of our
Chemulpo heroes is the popular com
ment. At the, same time the action of
the heroic 130 men did not leave the
Russians any alternative They were
obliged to sink the transport, but
means of escape We're left at the dis
rosal of the 130 japanese
The ability of Admiral Yeszen to
reach Gensan. 300 miles away. in
twenty-five hours, as they did on the
second expedition, is certain to compel
the Japanese to be on their guard.
The papers point out the mendacity
of the Japanese claims that Gensan
was strongly garrisoned and believe
that the Russian advance from Plaksin
Bay will not meet with strong resist
ance.
The Kinshiu Maru was evidently con-
voying reinforcements TO Songjin.
Experts here severely criticize the
carelessness of sending the transports
without a convoy.
While the naval men agree in prais-
ing the new commander o. the cruiser
squadron. Viceroy Alexiem's defenders
claim credit for the Viceroy, who kept
the cruisers at Vladivostox and select
ed Admiral Yeszen to command them.
1t is said that the Russian activity
in Eastern Korea will retard the opera
tions on the Yalu River.
