RUSSIA IS ASSURED OF THIS
Count B,nckendOrf Carried Verbal
Assurances of This Fact TO
ST. Petersburg

Paris, March i.--To the qualification
Of France better relations between RUS
STA and Great Britain are promised as
the result of the visit OF Count Benck-
endorff, the Russian ambassador TO
Great Britain to st. Petersburg, From
an authoritative source it is learned
that Count Benckendorfr not only car
ried verbal assurances OF the absolute
neutrality Of Great Britain in the war
but that he was the bearer Of docu-
ments establishing the fact that the
London government did not want war
and had used determined efforts to pre-
vent 1t, urging on Japan the fact that
the British press did not represent the
attitude or wishes OF the British gov
eminent. Official adyices from ST.
Petersburg show that Count BenCken-
dorffs representations cleared away
many suspicious entertained by the
Russian authorities, Russia does not
desire unfriendly relations with Great
Britain, She therefore met the British
government half way and 1t II under
stood that Count Benckendorff was
charged with most conciliatory mea-
sures by the car. This new phase OF
the situation which has been the sub
iect OF conversation by Foreign Min
lister Delcasse and the ambassadors ac-
credited 20 France has given rise to a
feeling In official and diplomatic cir
Giles that 1t will he possible after all 10
condne the far eastern war TO Russia
and Japan.
The regretted action Of various Euro
pean countries In arming is not consld-
cred as having any other bearing than
preparation for eyentualitles, which In
the present optimistic frame Of, mind
Of the authorities are not likely to come
to pass. There Is doubt still in official
circles regarding the policy of Germany
toward Russia. Adyices received here
indicate that Germany assured Russia
that France inspired the recent note Of
Secy, Hay regarding Chinese neutral
ty, while France claims and Russia is
satisfied that Germany made the first
suggestion to the United States.
