BRITAIN WILL SEND
SEVEN REGIMENTS TO
CANADIAN GARRISONS


HALIFAX, n. S., Feb. 13.-The
British Government is making inqui-
ries concerning the facilities for quar-
tering in Canada seven regiments OF
troops in addition to those already
there during the war in the East. 1t
is proposed to send two regiments to
this city, two to Esquimalt, B. c., and
one each to Quebec, Montreal and
Toronto. 1t is understood that the
Government wishes to station troops
at these points in order to have them
nearer the scene of hostilities between
Japan and Russia in case complica-
tions involving British interests should
develop. While the. Government has
forces in India, it is said that it would
not move them because of the dam
ger that soldiers of Afghanistan or
Thibet would quietly cross the Indian
frontier and become serious men,

the mines had risen to the surface. the
Yenisei approached for the purpose Of
lifting it up. when the vessel came in
contact with another mine, which ex-
ploded and caused the disaster.
The first feeling of depression is dis
appearing and entire confidence is ex
pressed in the ultimate success of the
Russian arms. A distinguished Rus
sian said:
1.-The slight reverses which we sus-
tained at the outset have had good
effect. The Russians no longer de-
spise the enemy. That was a mistake
which we made. The Japanese certain
ly are excellent fighters, who will be
treated with the respect they deserve"
Colonel Van Scheck, commanding
the Emperor Alexander Regiment of
the German Guards, of which the Czar
is honorary colonel in chief, arrived

RUSSIAN DEPRESSION
GIVES WAY TO FEELING
OF FIRM CONFIDENCE

ST PETERSBURG, Feb. 13.-The
press is authorized to deny the report
that. japanese troops had landed at
Port Arthur, with the loss of two regi-
ments. Nothing is known here official
ly regarding the movements of the
vladivostok squadron, but the report
that 1T had sunk Japanese transports
off Wusan and destroyed Hakodate are
generally discredited, it being pointed
out that it is impossible for the squad
ron to have been in two places almost
simultaneously. A naval expert says
that if the Hakodate story is true Ad
miral Stackelberg, in command of the
Vladivostok squadron, will be able to
go south by the eastern coast of Japan
and cause enormous havoc along the
shore and to shipping and ultimately
effect junction with Admiral Virenus
squadron. on its way to the Far East
from Europe. Viceroy Alexieff's silence
about the Vladivcstok squadron is ex-
planned as follows:
For strategic reasons the Viceroy as
commander in chief is empowered to
dispose of the ships and men without
consulting headquarters. The enumera-
ton of the Russian ships engaged at
Port Arthur was purposely omitted in
the official report, as it would have
given a valuable clew to the enemy. A
private telegram has been received
from q resident of Port Arthur, in
which the sender claims he saw one
japanese warship sink. The fact that
no mention was made of this in the
Niceroy's dispatches does not disprove
the story. because the Niceroy is care
full not to announce anything outside
of personally established facts 1t is
pointed out on high authority that the
japanese are not likely to admit such
loss, and it is recalled that during the
Chinese war they were most secretive
about the casualties. The telegraph
line between Port Arthur and the Yalu
River is believed to be broken, which
explains the absence of direct news re-
garding the naval engagement off Che
mulpo. However, little doubt is enter
tanned here as to the fate of the Variag
and KorutZ.
The blowing up of the Russian tor
pedo transport Yenisei as result of
accidentally striking mine at Port
Arthur was telegraphed here yester-
day. but the news was not given out
until the names of the officers killed
were known, so as to avoid needless
anxiety by the relatives of the surviv-
ing officers.
According to the Novoe Vremya, the
Yenisei was laying mines at the en-
trance of Talienwan Bay. with the
object Of closing it against attack
from the sea. Observing that one OF

PARIS, Feb. 14-One of the. most
notable features of the. first week of
the war has been the steady increase
of sentiment favorable to giving Rus
sia every possible moral and sympa-
thetic support. At the outset the
French officials and the public gem
orally maintained that the interests OF
of the possibility of any war entan-
clements growing out of the Franco
Russian alliance. This led some
newspapers 20 assert that France was
placing self-interest before duty and
deserving her best friend ir the hour
of greatest need A gradual reaction
has occurred. until to-day official and
public feeling runs strongly II favor
of strengthening Russia in every way
short rof actual participation in the
war. Ii was thought that the large
Dreyfus element would antagonize
Russia. owing to the latter's attitude
toward the Jews: but. on the con,
trary. Joseph Reinach. the friend and
biographer OF Dreyfus. has published
a letter declaring that the honor and
interest of France command her to
affirm her sympathy for Russia and to
Loyalty hold up the alliance.
However, French feeling. which is
usually demonstrative, has not shown
any wild enthusiasm in behalf of Rus
sia. This is in rather marked con-
trast with the uproarious manifesto
tions at the time of the Cars visit
to Paris and other recent events.
SUBSCRIPTION LISTS OPENED.
Two popular subscriptions have
been opened for the wounded, one by
the Russo-Chinese Bank and the other
by French newspapers. The Russian
ambassador, Nelidoff, heads the for
mer with a subscription of 500. Many
individuals are showing personal SYM
pathy and are offering their services,
Much interest is manifested here in
the part Prince Louis Napoleon and
Prince, Jaime de Bourbon are taking
in the military service of Russia. The
reports that Prince Louis, who is an
officer OF high rank in the Russian
cavalry, who was in France recently
to attend the obsequies of Princess
Mathilde and who left hurriedly for
st. Petersburg at the outbreak of the
war, is to be given command of the
entire cavalry force operating in Man
churia, are said to be we'll founded.
Prince Jaime, who is an officer of
Russian volunteers under the Gov
ernor General of Russian Poland,
wrote on the outbreak of the war re-
questing an assignment to the first de-
tachment of volunteers to be sent to
the theater of operations and he has
since telegraphed an earnest request

1t is not intended by the French
Government for the present to issue
formal proclamation of neutrality
similar to that of the United States
and Great Britain. The officers here
say usage does not require such
neutral course of the Government has
been sufficiently defined by the instruc-
tions sent by the French Foreign. CO.
lonial and Marine Ministers to repre-
sentatives abroad. 1t is especially
stated that the absence of proclama-
ton has not the slightest significance
as showing a desire TO raise Russian
suspicious. 1t is merely compliance
with the French custom regarding the
observance of neutrality.
:. Germany's reported efforts to create
ill-feeling between Russia and France
are receiving the serious attention of
the French officials. who do not hesi-
tate TO express the belief that Ger
many will seek 20 make the most of
the opportunity to strengthen her po-
sition with Russia and weaken that of
France. There is the fullest conf
dence that this will not succeed and
remain unshaken.
Strong hopes were expressed to-day
in official quarters that the sentiment
in Great Britain and the United States
would not sympathize with the aims
Of Germany to disrupt the existing un-
derstanding.

LINER. AMERICA MARU
REACHES YOKOHAMA
WITHOUT A MISHAP

The Japanese liner America Maru,
Captain Philip Going, arrived at Yo-
kohama on February II, two days
ahead of schedule time. The America
was the last of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha
boats to leave this port. She carried
only about 400 tons of cargo. which
included a large shipment of arms
and ammunition. She carried an ex-
ira supply of coal and Captain Going
was prepared for a race with any,
thing flying the Russian flag which
might dispute the liners way.
The three Japanese steamships that
have been running between here and
the Orient are now in the hands of
the japanese Government. They are
ready for any service in which they
may be needed.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 13.-For the
first time since the beginning of hostili-
ties in the Far East the Government
tonight gave the Russian newspapers
permission TO publish the accounts re-
ceived from abroad Of the naval en-
sagement off Chemulpo, in which the
warships Variag and k-orutz were de-
stroyed.
The war fever which has been aroused
here and apparently throughout the
empire-or at least throughout Euro
pean Russian single week is truly
remarkable. Such patriotic demonstra-
tfons as have been witnessed in st.
Petersburg since hostilities began have
been all the more astonishing because
OF the public difference during the
period OF negotiations and almost up to
the hour when Japan struck the first
blow az Port Arthur. But now, Ike
fash. the whole empire seems to have
been dashed into fury by defeat, and,
like Z. bear when il is wounded and an
CRY, II is prepared to fight to the bitter
end. The dreamy Russian character has
been stirred to depths Of resentment
which it will be difficult to understand
abroad.
DISPLAYS OF PATRIOTISM.
The patriotic demonstrations here
have been almost continuous for three
days. and they have been also entirely
spontaneous. Some of them were ex-
traordinary in character. To-day the
schoolboys and students of the city,
numbering thousands, marched bare
headed for hours up and down the
Nevsly Prospect bearing flags, shout
ing and singing patriotic airs. They
were followed by an immense crowd
Like previous professions, this went
10 the Annichkoff Palace, where the
Dowager Empress. who is very popular
with the people. showed herself. Later
the boys and students completely sur
rounded the Winter Palace, and. in re-
sponse to their cheers, the Car and
Czarina made their appearance. When
the Czarina blew kisses to the boys a
vast shout went up. which awakened
the echoes across the Neva.
At the French Embassy, which was
next visited by the procession, Madame
Pompard was compelled, in the alb
sence of the Embassador. to appear at
a balcony and acknowledge the cheers
Tor Russia any.
SOLDIERS SING FOLK SONGS.
In front Of the barracks the reg.-
mental bands in the city played the
national hymn 10 cheering crowds.
There were demonstrations tonight
outside the theaters and the perform
snces going on inside were stopped
while the orchestra came out on the
street to play folk songs, which the
soldiers sang while marching.
The fact that the poorhouse pau
pers pay their last cent for the extra
editions Of the newspapers and that
the cab drivers DO not charge military
men for carrying them around shows
how deeply the feelings of the people
have been penetrated.
kilograms from almost every town
in European Russia tell the same story.
At Moscow there were great manifes-
tatiOns in front Of the palace of the
Grand Duke Serge and before the Iber-

ian chapel. where stands the sacred
image of Our Lady of Iberia, before
which the Car invokes blessings when
he goes to Moscow. Thousands of per-
sons knelt for hours in the snow in
front of the chapel, praying for vic
