WARNS JAPANESE TO LEAVE.
Commander of VIadivostOk Garrison
Intimates War Is at Hand.


Intimates War Is at Hand.
TOXIC, Feb 4.-Premier Katsura
and his associates in the Cabinet gave
dinner to-day to eighteen represen-
tative peers and communicated to them
the nature and progress of the dip
lomatic negotiations with Russia. The
Marquis Ito had a private audience
with the Emperor, at which the situa-
tion was discussed. These and other
incidents clearly indicate the serious
ness of the situation
1t is generally believed that Russia
is massing troops north of the Yalu
River, so as to be prepared to resist a
possible invasion by the japanese.
The Cabinet the Elder Statesmen and
commanders of the army and navy are
in almost constant conference or COM
munication. There is. however, no in
dication of the course they intend to
pursue. The belief is prevalent that
Russia is seeking to provoke Japan to
take the initiative.
The first break in the reticence of
the Japanese Government was the pub
ucdIlOn IO-udy OF lOur OIIlcldl ulSpdLcneS
from Manchuria and Siberia, which are
significant as showing the trend of
events.
The Japanese commercial agent at
Vladivostok was notified on Wednes-
day by the commander of the Russian
garrison that he might at any time, IN
accordance witheorders from st. Peters
burg, have to proclaim a state of siege.
Consequently he desired the agent to
make preparations for the eventual de-
parture of Japanese residents. Should
any wish to remain they will be ordered
to repair to Habarovsk.
Japanese official reports confirm the
news of marked military activity in
Manchuria. Houses have been pre-
pared at Liaoytang, Haicheng, Kai-
chow and other places for the accom-
mediation of Russian soldiers. Carts
have been requisitioned to transport
ammunition and stores.
Troops are steadily moving in the
direction of the Yalu and the Chinese
residents of Yingchou are preparing for
fight.
The Government has been informed
that the Russian fleet has left Port
Arthur. It's destination is not known.

Won BALLESTREM GIVES
BANQUET TO EMPEROR
Distinguished Guests of the German
Court Attend the Function in
Full Uniform.

Full Uniform.
BERLIN, Feb. 3.-Count Won Bale
strem, president of the Reichstag,
opened his new official quarters to-
night with banquet to Emperor Will
liam and fifty other guests. The En-
peror, who was in the uniform of the
Guard du Corps, led the Countess Won
Ballestrem in to dinner. A noticeable
feature of the gathering was that
everybody who could do so wore mill
tary uniforms. Count Won Ballestrem
was in the uniform of the CuiraSsierS,
while Count Won Bulow, the Imperial
Chancellor, was clad in the Hussar uni
form. Count Won Ballestrem is a Sile-
sian, and there was served at the ban
quet a popular Silesian dish made of
bacon and dumplings. After the dinner
the Count presented the members of the
Reichstag staff to the Emperor, who
chatted with the guests for two hours
and a half.
The American Chamber of Commerce
of Berlin held its anniversary dinner at
the Hotel Savoy tonight, and toasts
were drunk to the Emperor and Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Professor w. A. Brown
of Union Theological Seminary, New
York, spoke in reply to the toast Ger
many and the United States,'' and Jo-
seph Bruclner commissioner of the st.
Louis Exposition to Germany made an
address on the Strengthening of peace
and friendship between the two coun-
tries through trade relations.
Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia
dined with ambassador Tower and Mrs.

WAR SEEMS A CERTAINTY.
Gloomy Adyices Received by the
Washington State Department.

0AOOtn9 AuNICCS lcCClNCO W
Washington State Department.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The State
Department has received gloomy ad-
vices from various points touching the
Russo Japanese situation. One Of the
most significant confirms the press dis
patch from Toxic respecting the noti-
fication to Japanese at Vladivostok to
prepare to leave the town, a measure
which is rarely resorted to except when
war is regarded as an absolute GER
tainty.
Confirmation also comes of the re-
ported disappearance of the Russian
fleet from Port Arthur. The destina-
tion of the fleet, is unknown, but the
surmise is that the fleet has gone to
Vladivostok.
An unconffrmed rumor that six regi-
ments of Russian troops have departed
from Newchwang for Korea Is afioat.
1t is said that, in anticipation of hos
tilities. the Japanese Government has
for months maintained a secret service
system throughout Manchuria and that
Japanese spies are now in position to
sever the Russians in Manchuria from
their base in case of war by destroy
ing every culvert and bridge on the
Manchurian Railway.
