FRANCE IS FRANK.
Why the Russian Squadron Was Not
Ordered From Jibutil.

Paris, Feb. Exchanges Of eom-
munieations Of a friendly character
have occurred between France and
Japan with respect 10 the stay of the
Russian squadron at Jibutii. French
! S0maliland. France did not hesitate TO
I make complete explanation of her
+ reasons for not ordering the Russian
ships TO depart, and it is said in a re-
/ liable quarter that this explanation
was thoroughly satisfactory to the
: japanese government. The frankness
with which the French government
dealt with the question was gratifying
J to the japanese diplomats. and Ii is
asserted that there is no reason to be-
1 lieve that any friction viii arise be-
tween the two countries regarding the
incident. 1t is now explained that

tensions Of the time during which

Loyalty Neutral.
France seeks, as she has told Japan,
and the other powers, TO maintain an
attitude Of loyal neutrality, and has no
intention Of departing from this policy
But 50 far as ordering the Russian
ships to leave Jibutii, this has not been
done, as to have done SO would have
aroused the French people, whose SYM
patty with Russia, at first luke warm,
has become exceedingly keen. and this
Japan and certainly her ally do not
desire. The officials also say that
France showed her fairness toward
belligerents during the Spanish Ameri-
can war when an American auxiliary
cruiser tried to make a repair in the
French West Indies. Spain then en-
deavored to have the cruiser compelled
to leave forthwith, but the French
authorities did not require a rigid en-
/ forcement Of the regulations, and the
/ cruiser was permitted to remain until
her repairs were completed. 1t is
claimed that this American precedent
