RUSSIA'S ANSWER DELAYED
CRISIS BETWEEN JAPAN AND
RUSSIA AVERTED FOR A TIME.
Foreiqn Minister of Russia Trying to
Shape an Answer So as to Prevent
Rupture-Is Taken as Good lndica-
ton for Peace-Empress Of Russia
Under Surgeons Care

Paris. Feb. Another delay has
occurred in framing and forwarding
the Russian answer to the latest Jap
anese note and this will result in fur
Their averting the elimination of the
crisis until the middle or latter part
of this week. Count Lamsdorff, the
Russian foreign minister, had expected
that the exchanges going on would
have been presented to the cZar yester-
day for his approval, but the expecta-
ton was not realized, and as a mat
ter of fact, the answer has not yet
been finally drafted. 1t was there
fore determined to defer its submis-
sion to the car until Tuesday or Wed
nesday. Efforts are still being made
to so shape this answer as to prevent
a rupture.
Russia Wants Peace.
This new delay is interpreted as
slightly improving the situation, as ii
indicates that Russia is making ex
IRENE efforts to bring the answer with
in limits acceptable to Japan.
Owing to the fact that the Russian
answer is not completed, it is pointed
out that it's general terms must be
taken with allowance, as the delay in
dicates that some of the points which
presented the most serious difficulties
may yet be reconciled.
Throughout the past week, the au
thorities here have been kept fully ad
vised of the general tendencies of Rus
STA, but they have not known whether
or not these tendencies would be in
corporated in The answer by which
Russia would irrevocably abide.
1t is understood the empress OF
Russia has an affection of the cal
which may necessitate an operation
This fact is considered as having some
bearing upon the time when the an
swer will be submitted to the car fol
approval.
In any event, officials here are con
fident that definite results will bC
known next Thursday. Owing to the
feeling that final effort toward re
Cancellation was being made, the ton'
of official sentiment on the matter il
somewhat improved.

the march at once. 1T was some hours
before sunset when the company fell
in and marched out of town toward
the river, the colonel with them. Out
side of town they were joined by ma
tive in blue coat and red trousers
the cavalry uniform of the insurgents.
Then the boys knew what was in the
wind.
In half an hour they struck the river
and followed its bank up into the tow
ering mountain crags that piled up in
the interior The ground rose and be-
came difficult to traverse, while the
river dropped below them. At last the
command to halt was given and every
man lay down. Only the colonel and
the native remained standing. They
were examining some nipa thatches
that barely showed through the foliage
on the bluff still further up.
Again the men climbed on, split
into two parties now, the captain and
colonel going with one, the two lieu
tenants with the other. The men were
quivering with nervous expectation.
Once more the captains party halt
ed. now just above the nipa thatches.
They could see men walking among
the huts; men who wore striped white
and blue uniforms. They waited. The
first lieutenant's party had gone on a
detour.
Suddenly there came a splintering
crash of volley from below Men in
white and blue uniforms rushed heller
skelter cut on a narrow road along
the side of the bluff. only to be fired
upon by the men In brown above them.
AT 'em, boysp' shouted the captain,
and down the Americans dashed in
among the panic crazed insurgents,
most of whom were without guns.
1t was all over in no time-ten insur-
gents killed, some wounded and fifty
prisoners, few escaped among the
crags. The Americans entered the hid
den village. OF their own number none
was hurt. Stretchers were made
for the wounded and the march back
by the trail began. The captives
scowled f1ercely at the yellow man in
red trousers.
The sun was setting and cast red
glow over the tops of the jutting crags.
Over the river below the shadows grew
a deeper blue. On one side of the de-
scending trail rose sheer bluff; on the
other, sixty feet below, roared the river.
The marching men were in shadow
now. Above the irregular top of the
bluff was sharply outlined in the red

sunshine. Suddenly the first sergeant
cried out:
Look, fellers, above!"
All. even 20 the native prisoners,
looked.
On the top stood the form of huge
goat even his horns and beard plainly
silhouetted with the rest of his body
against the blazing sunset sky.
They cheered to him, but he did not
move. They called by name, first the
Americans, then those who had given

then sank into the dark space below.
BY shading their eyes with their
hands they saw him coming down the
face of the bluff as only his kind could
come Even the wounded prisoners
in the ltters cheered.
At last he stood only fifty feet
above them on a rocky ledge. He
paused; grave, dignified, his tremend-
Gus bulk evenly balanced on the jut-
ting stone. Again they called, but he
stood immovable. thoughtfully re-
garding the men below him. A pris-
oner volunteered to crawl up and coax
him down and was allowed to start.
But he was saved the trouble.
Suddenly the two fore feet of the
buck rose, his body reared, curved
gracefully over, like an expert divers.
then fell. With a spring he bounded
outward and downward, landing only
a few yards away from those below.
Again his fore feet arose, and with a
roar, almost as bull bellows, he shot
forward There came scream from
a human throat and the astonished
soldiers saw a whirl of hoofs, horns
and red cloth go bounding over the
ledge into the swirling river
Down to the bank! Save them!
Save them before they get into the
rapids." yelled the captain, and they
all rushed in a mass, men in brown
and men In white ana blue, down the
trail to the strip of beach below. Only
the colonel and the captain remained
with the wounded on the trail.
They're gone." said the captain.
The colonel said nothing.
The men ran along the streak of
gravel in excited groups. endeavoring
to aid the two struggling figures out
in mid stream. One of the insurgents
plunged in and swan for the goat.

clatter on the stone stairway, and in
the opening, enveloped in a stream of
smoke, rose the horns and face and
pointed beard of what to some might
have seemed a fearful apparition. But
the colonel knew Diablo when he saw
him.
Not so the native, apparently. With
a scream he threw himself before a
crucifix hanging on the wall.
'Salvami Diosi Salvami Dios!" he
called franticalIy.
Diablo had flung himself into the
room in second. He paused for an
instant then rose on his hind legs and
came down with a roar on the kneel-
ing native, rolling him over on the
floor. Then the big creature jumped

the entrance of the house, disappear

The whole incident occupied less
than a minute. His first surprise over,

laughter with much difficulty. helped
the native to his feet who rose with
a face that was pasty white. The dis

revealed the fact that lamp had been
upset in a pile of straw, which hap
pened also to be the bed of Diablo,
but the basement of the house being
all of stone. the fire had gone out of

this information, the native whom he
had introduced as Lala had recovered

American again seated themselves at
the table and resumed their study of

excitement. But a voice above them
roared out-the colonePs:

men ashore told him Of his danger.
