RUSSIANS ARE BITTER

PARIS, Feb 19.-The Figaro this morn
ing publishes telegram said TO be from a
high Russian official, and sent from the
frontier, saying that Colonel Won Schenck,
the commander of the Emperor Alexander
regiment of the German Guards, of which
the Car is honorary colonel-in-chief was
received by the Car on Monday and gave
10 his Majesty an autograph letter from
Emperor William on the war in the far
East. and especially on the subject of Great
Britain's attitude.
Continuing, the Figaro informant says Of
fetal circles in Russia continue TO count on
Germany's unreserved support and discuss
openly the possible change of the equilib-
rum of Europe which might result from
the grouping together OF Russia, Germany
and France, taken in connection with the
anti-British feeling.
The increasing possibility of war with
Great Britain is discussed without reserve
in Russian military circles. Rear Admiral
the navy, has said it was impossible, ac-
cording TO the Russian official who tele-
graphs the Figaro, to send to Port Arthur
all the naval officers who want to go there
because they may be required in the Baltic.
In conclusion this official says the where
abouts of Viceroy AleXieff has been un-
known for three days past, and that the

MILITARY ACTIVITY IN

LONDON. Feb. l9---The papers this morr=A
ing comment upon the activity which is
seen at WoOlNich and elsewhere I'm refitting
the navy in preparation for any emergency.
II is admitted that the manufacturers OF
fixed ammunition have been working night
shifts since Christmas and that all the sur
plus obsolete war material. useless at home
and abroad, is being replaced as rapidly as
possible. Special interest attaches 10 the
equipment Of sixty battieships with the new
twelve-inch wire steel guns. $50 Of which
were ordered by the Admiralty four years
ago at an expense OF So. 10000. These are
said to be the most modern and most power
full guns in existence in any navy. and they
are capable of throwing an aimed shot ac-
curately a distance of 5000 yards.
Similar reports of military activity are re-
ceived from other countries. For instance.
Spain is preparing for possibilities The
Spanish minister of war informed a news
paper man yesterday that he mobiliz-
ing all the military forces at his disposal.
and said: although the Russo-Japanese
dispute does not concern US, we must be
prepared for all eventualities. Patriotism,
however, demands that we keep silent re-
garding the points Spain must fortify.
