Significance is attached to the prompt
ness with which the Japanese government

the Russian feet has left Port Arthur for
a destination unknown. 1t was said by

ment spoke for itself.
Regarding the movements Of the Ameri-

waters Ii can be stated that no decision has
been reached except the irrevocable one
that the feet shall make no move which
can possibly be construed as a departure
from the Washington governments policy

Significance is attached in naval circles to
the official announcement by the Navy De-
partment this morning that the monitor
Monterey has left Hong Kong for Canton.
In view of the recent report that the for
eign quarter in Canton had been threaten
ed it is believed here the departure of the
Monterey for that place may have been in
fluenced by the recent report of unrest
there. The gravity of the far eastern sit
nation gives added Significance to the move
ments of the American men-ef-war IN
Chinese waters. because of the belief gen.
orally felt I'm official circles here that a
Russo-Japanese war would be certain to
precipitate Disturbances in the nearby coun-
try Of China. This government can, OF
course be depended upon to protect Ameri-
