SAYS AMERICAS
NEXT WAR WILL BE
WITH GERMANY

ST. PETERSBURG, March a. =
From a political point of view the
United States has good reason to fear
that the hostile nature of American
and British behavior will force Russia
to throw herself into the arms of Ger
many" says the Soyet, in commenting
on the attitude of the United States
1t is known that military circles in
the United States are convinced that
their next war will be with Germany.
They recall the Venezuelan blockade.
If the German fleet had been sufficient
ly strong at that time, war would have
broken out between Germany and the
United States. Germany drew back,
but she has not renounced her world
policy nor her cherished designs on
weak South American republics.
Concerning the furtively whispered
story of a treaty between Germany and
Russia, it may be simply stated that it
is untrue; but, on the other hand, there
will be nothing to wonder at when
Americans come to think of it, II for her
friendly services in the present circum-
stances Germany should also bargain
for RuSsia's services in the event of
her war with the United States.

STATEMENTS OF
RUSSIAN LOSS
Eye-Witnesses Differ in
Accounts of the
Fighting.

TIENTSIN, March 13.-An uncon-
firmed report has reached here that
Port Arthur has fallen.
A Russian refugee who arrived here
to-day throws valuable additional light
on the bombardment of Port Arthur
last Thursday. He says that the at
tack was intended for the forts, but the
Japanese fire overreathed. There was
small destruction, and the casualties
were not numerous. Twenty soldiers
and two civilians were killed and three
civilians injured. Colonel Vershinin,
Governor of Port Arthur, was slightly
wounded. The japanese used 300 or
400 Russian shells, which they found
on the captured transport Manchuria.
The refugee says only four Japanese
cruisers were actively engaged. The
forts replied with several shots, when
ever the Japanese left the cover of the
Laothieshan promontory. Besides the
RetviZan, the battleship Petropolavsk
received slight damage from shot.
DARING OF NIAKAROEF.
The action of Vice Admiral Makaroff
on the cruiser Novik in taking a por-
ton of the fleet out of the harbor on
Friday morning appealed to the pat
riotism and excited the admiration of
the garrison.
reported to be about normal, though it
is necessary to govern prices by ordi
nance. Three merchants have been
punished for raising prices. The French
caviare restaurants and the Russian
cafe chantant are running and the
naval band plays in the park daily.
Replying to the inquiry of the conf
mander of a foreign gunboat at New
chwang, the civil administrator charac-
terized the report of Russia's intention
to block the Laio River by sinking
junks as calumnies.
The latest report from Fungwang-
cheng brought by a courier of the
regular native courier service, who left
that place on March s, states that there
were no Japanese there or in that vi
c1nity. Therefore the reports of en-
counters at the outposts there must be
discredited.
LOSSES OF THE RUSSIANS.
Information from an official who was
an eyewitness of the bombardment of
Port Arthur on Wednesday and Thurs
day is to the effect that the Russians
had twenty-five killed on the battle
ship Sevastopol, twenty on the Retvi-
zan and twenty in the town. The Rus
slams claim to have sunk a Japanese
cruiser.
The Russians assert that their dam
aged cruisers have been repaired and
are ready for sea. The battleship
Cesarevitch will be ready shortly. There
is no dock there capable of taking in
the Retvizan.
The Russians are preparing for the
defense of Newchwang, finding it i'm
possible to stop the landing of the Jap
aneSe.

The Temps has published an inter
view with Kurino, the late Japanese
Minister to Russia, who is quoted as
saying that there is no doubt the Jap
anese Government decided to sever dip
lomatic relations with Russia on Janu-
airy 81, when, in answer to repeated in
quiries, Count Lamsdorf, the Russian
Foreign Minister, informed Kurino that
the Czar had not yet reached a decision
with regard to the reply of Russia to
the latest Japanese note.
In response to a question Kurino said
he did not believe the report that Baron
Hayashi, the Japanese Minister m
Great Britain, had endeavored to force
q rupture between Japan and Russia.
The only thing responsible for the run
ture, he said, was the anxiety caused
by Russia's prolonged silence.
The news that the Russian reply had
been sent too late to affect the situa-
tion was published on the evening of
February 4 and the instructions OF
Kurino to break off relations with Rus
sia reached him on the morning of Feb
ruary 3.
Discussing the events that led up to
the breaking out of hostilities Kurino
said that Russia had not sufficiently
appreciated the state of popular feei-
ing in Japan, and moreover. although
the peaceful disposition of the Car
and Count Lamsdorff was not ques-
toned. the spirit of the Russian mil
itary authorities in the Far East was
rot peaceful.
Kurino said he believed that Viceroy
