 Ships.

Tokio. Dec. lb.--f4 P. M)--The Japanese are watching with great tn- teTest the alleged plan of the Rus sian government to purchase war ships from the governments of Argen- tina and Chile.
 In response to diplomatic inquiry the government of Argentina frankly disavowed any intention to sell war; ships to Russia, but the answer re- ceived from Chile is said to be evasive Correspondence on the sub- ject is still in progress.
 There is a growing feeling Of re- sentiment. here against Chile. Dis cussing the question with the Associa- ted Press correspondent an official said that in the event of Chile selling warships to Russia. Japan will un- occasionally take the first opportunity to settle the score. The Japanese gov ernment Is being urged to pointedly inform Chile that Japan will demand indemnity when free to enforce such demand at the end of the war with Russia
