FRANCE IS INDEPENDENT.
Not Tied to Russia in Far Eastern
 Matters.

MLAIIeISs Paris, Feb. S.--A strong movement has begun to develop in the Chamber of Dep-
 uties to induce M. Delcasse to make a declaration to the effect that France has
 not surrendered her liberty of action un- der the existing arrangement with Russia
 concerning the Far East.
 Deputy Denys Cochin (conservative)
 who has taken the lead fin the movement looking to making an interpolation of
 this character, had two interviews with M. Delcasse today. The Nationalist group has resolved not to embarrass the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs pending delicate negotiations.
 That the government recognizes the danger of a parliamentary discussion of the subject was shown by the postpone ment of the interpolation. This M. Denys Cochin consented to because he was as- sured by Foreign Minister Delcasse that France was at this moment in the same situation as fin March. 1902 at the time of the declaration of France and Russia with respect to China. M. Delcasse said that then France had retained her absolute in- dependence.
 No information has been received here Of any steps toward peaceful intervention. To the Associated Press the statement was again made at the Japanese legation that Japan cannot accept 1t. whatever be its form and by whatever nation it may be rendered.
 The British embassy says it is Ignorant of any action in the direction of media ton by its government, but it is regard ed as strongly probable there that views are being exchanged by several nations in order to make stronger any such rep- resentations.
 The Chinese legation reiterates that China will maintain an attitude of strict and is confident that whoever is the victor. Manchuria will remain Chi nese. in consequence of the treaties by which ports were opened to the commerce of all nations.

Paris, Feb. 9.-The Minister of Marina positively denies the report that prepara- tons ar being made for the sending of 5000 French troops to the Far East. Tha' various political groups have decided not to take any course likely to embArrass the Government during the present crisis The Nationalist members of the Cham Der of Deputies met and passed a formal resolution to this effect, which WAS com municated to the press, and N.

TO WATCH THE CONFLICT.
Admiral Evans Will Go With the
 Cruiser Squadron.

Washington, Feb. S.-Tentative orders have been prepared sending the cruiser squadron of the Asiatic fleet northwafd d from Subig Bay, in the vicinity of Port Arthur. to observe the Japanese Russian naval operations and to be at hand 60 protect the American interests wherever they may be menaced in the war-stricAcn district. The orders will be submitted 70 the President for final revision but will not be sent unless they are agreeable to Russia and Japan. which will be sounded in advance on this side.
 When the orders were prepared today it was expected they would be sent forth with in view of the restraining instrIc- tions they contained for Rear Admiral Evans, commanding the Asiatic fleet to observe strict neutrality in all his move ments. Secretary Moody, however, Is not willing that this country shall give ground even for suspicion either by Rus- sia or Japan and It. has therefore been decided that these governments shall be asked if the dispatch of the cruiser squadron to northern waters will embd.- rass either combatant. The cruiser squadron consists of the Albany, flag ship; the New Orleans, Raleigh and Gin cinnati. In case the squadron goes north ward it Is fully expected here that Rear Admiral Evans will transfer his flag to the Albany and assume command of thc squadron remaining in the Far East after his regular tour of duty has ex- pired to observe the war.
 That Japan has fully determined on war Is evident from a cablegram received at the Navy Department today from Lieu tenant Marsh saying that a Japanese na- val division had left for Chemulpo. the port of the Korean capital The seizure of Seoul. the general naval board believes. will be Japan's first act of war.
 Count Cassini. the Russian Ambassador. called by appointment on Secretary Hay at o'clock and the two were in confer ence for nearly an hour. The Amhassa- dor was again assured that this govern ment could be depended on to maintain the strictest and most complete neutrality in the coming war.
 Count Cassini gave Mir. Hay a brief summary of the negotiations. He in. formed the Secretary that Russia was convinced that Japan had all along been anxious for war and that her breaking off of diplomatic relations at the moment when Russia was putting forth her utmost effort to make concessions that'would pre-. serve peace was an evidence of bad faith. In Russian circles it is not expected that Japan will formally declare war but

WILL LEAVE PEK1N.
Believed That Dowager Empress Will
 Take Flight.

Washington, Feb. S.--The Chinese Min tster and the Japanese Minister both called at the State Department today, de- claring that they were in search of in- formation from the seat of trouble in the East and that they had no news them selves
 Outbreak of war between Russia and Japan, 1t is believed here, will be fol- lowed by the precipitate flight of the Empress Dowager and the entire Chinese court from Pekin to Southern China where they took refuge in 1900. Informa- tion received by the State Department several days ago indicated that this would be the case. A cableGram received at a European embassy says that the flight of the court is we'll nigh certain and that this may precipitate dangerous condi- tion Of unrest throughout China. It will leave the government without a head in Pekin and will practically close every door of communication from the powers to the Pekin government.
 Several European powers are extremely anxious that this menace to foreigners in China may be averted and are inclined to bring pressure to bear through their rep resentatives at Pelkin to prevent 1t.
 At the State Department today officiaIs declined to say how far the United States had gone or would go in this direction, but 1t Is taken to be the desire of this government that the Empress Dowager remain in Pekln. It is believed that MT. conger will use his efforts in that direc- tiDn. The State Department has been inform ed by the American embassy in St. Pe- tersburg and the American legation at To- ksp that M, Murine. the 5apansse Minis- ter to Russia. and Enron de Rosen. the AusHzaEi Nlnister at aokEt have taken severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
 Regarding the attitude of the United States, the Assistant Secretary of State has reiterated to tho Russian Ambassador that the United States would observe complete neutrality.

Agreed on Course of Action.
 Washington, Feb. S.-State Department officials deny that any agreement has been made that the United States and Great Britain would intervene after Russia has crushed Japan and insist that Manchuria remain part of China. Since the Turko-Russian war it has been customary for the great neutral powers to hold some sort of conference at the conclusion of the war to secure the Vanquished nation in the struggle against undue exactions and punish ments
 This was notably the case in the Turko- Russian war and attention is called to the fact that although Japan was the victor in her last war with China, the neutral powers, especially Russia anu England. brought pressure to bear upon Japan to prevent her from pressing her advantage beyond reasonable limits.
 Incidentally, 1t was also pointed out that the two nations named prohted themselves by the acquisition of most important strategical points, which has been the object of Japan's operation. Therefore. 1t is said to be within the proba abilities that some kind of confer ence will follow a Russo-Japanese war.
 The United States has always held | aloof from such combinations, but in the | case of the negotiations which terminated | the Boxer troubles the policy has been | to work on parallel lines when such | cause Is for the common good.
