RUSSIAN PEOPLE
NOT MISINFORMED
BY GOVERNMENT

ST. PETERSBURG, March 13.=
The confidence displayed by the Rus
sian people in the reports of the Gov
ernment on the progress of the fighting
in the Far East, which is one of the
most notable features in Russia of the
war, has thus far been largely due to
an entire change of policy instituted by
the Emperor some time ago with the
abolition of the censorship on foreign
newspaper dispatches. This abolition
was followed, when the war broke out
by the Emperors decision to make
public, as fully as possible, all reports
regarding the war in the the belief
that the loyalty of his subjects would
be only strengthened by acquainting
them with the truth in victory or de-
feat.
side of the Russian character which
has been more than justified. Hitherto
the Government has considered it un-
wise to give the people information
freely at critical moments and the
result was that the people, being pes
simistic, were often inclined to imagine
things to be much worse than they
really were.
The press is assured by a high au-
thority that all official kilograms al
ways have been given out accurately
in so far as their sense was concerned,
and in most cases textually, although
occasionally words have been changed
where the original words were subject
to misconstruction. For instance. in
one case the words 1.-The enemy was at
our heels were altered to read ''the
enemy was behind u.s." lest the official
language should give the ignorant
the impression that the Russians were
flying before the Japanese.
Even the habitual critics of the Gov
ernment have been astonished at the
manner in which the authorities are
taking the people into their confidence
in the war, and this policy of fair deal
ing would seem to be uniting the ma
ton as never before in her history.
General Kuropatkin's open warning
to the people, in his speech to the Mu-
nicipal Council, not to expect too much
at first, but to exercise patience, is an
evidence of the frankness with which
the people are being treated. The ut
terances of the general on that occas-
ion were commended warmly by the
press as much better than. glittering
promises which might not be redeemed.
The Emperor and the Empress and
their children spent to-day at Tsar-
koye Selo and went sleigh riding in the
park. Tomorrow the imperial family
will resume its fast, the fourth week
in Lent, like the first and last, being
vigorously observed.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 13.-That Eng
land is sending not a few of her army
officers to the Far East is apparent to
any one who scans the passenger lists
Of incoming steamships, and much
speculation is aroused thereby. 1t was
only two weeks ago that General VIII
liam Nicholson, chief of the intelligence
department of the British War Office,
passed through New York on his way
to Toxic, accompanied by Lieutenant
Colonel Haldane as his aid. The des-
tination of several British officers who
have since landed here has been the
same.
On the steamship st. Paul of the
American line. which arrived to-day,
was Colonel Apsley Smith of the Royal
Field Artillery, who. beyond admitting
that he was going to Toxic would not
discuss his mission. He is accompa-
,nied by Mrs. Smith. Maj. Sitwell of the
British army was another passenger
on the st. Paul
Lieutenant G. H. Betton-F Foster of
the Royal Artillery and Lieutenant F.
S. G. Piggott of the Royal Engineers.
who had among their baggage a COM
plete field equipment, were among the
passengers on the Umbria of the Gu
ndIu llHes dIIlNluS mere lIIlS HUI uluS.
Both are under orders to report to
General Nicholson in Toxic.
Hon. Florence Cloborne, who was a
passenger on the st. Paul, is going to
Toxic to engage in Red Cross work
with the Japanese army in the field.
Prince Nashimoto of Japan, who is
related to the imperial family and who
is Fastening back to his country to take
the field, arrived to-day on the Umbria.
The Prince, who is travelling incognito,
came under the name of Mr. Nagai''
and registered at the Holland House
under one of his titles, Count Tada.
The Prince is q captain in the in
fantry of the Imperial Guards and for
the past year has been studying the
French language in Paris Accompany
ing the Prince was Major Yamaue of
the general staff and Captain Inouye
of the infantry, who also have been
studying in Paris.
The Prince and his companions will

From other Russian sources it is
learned that the Czar appears to have
definitely made. up his mind to go to
the front.
1t is affirmed in Paris that Prince

legation, will leave France shortly as a
result of a conference between Foreign
Minister Delcasse and Japanese Min

CANARD EXCITES /.
RUSSIANS AGAINST
THE UNITED STATES

ST. PETERSBURG, March 13-A
telegram received here from General
Zhlinsky, General Kuropatkins chief of
staff, says that, according to reports
published in Korean newspapers, $4,000
Japanese have landed at Chenampho,
Korea, and are marching to Pingyang.
Five hundred Japanese are said to have
landed at Kienghueng, on the north
east coast of Korea.
All is quiet at Port Arthur and Vladi-
vOstok. There are no japanese troops
anywhere in Manchuria and only small
patrols of the enemy are to be seen in
Northern Korea.
The fifteenth army corps at Moscow
and the tenth army corps at Kharkoff
will start for Far East in a few DAYS.
After the war these two corps will re-
turn to their stations, but the other
troops that are already in the Orient
will remain permanently in the Asiatic
provinces
The circulation here of an untrue re-
port to the effect that the Washington
Cabinet has decided to support the pro-
test of the commander of the United
States gunboat Helena, now at New
chwang, against the action of the Rus
sian authorities in sinking Chinese
junks in the channel of the Lao River,
and that Washington would notify
Russia that the neutrality of New
chwang must be respected, has created
something of furry.
The Novoe Vremya makes this the
subject of an editorial entitled More
American Meddling," in which it is
ccntended that as Newchwang is with
in Manchuria and is only six miles from
the railroad to Port Arthur, Russia has
a perfect right to take defensive meas
ures there, and that unless the United
States is seeking a cause for a quarrel
it would not insist upon supporting the
protest of the commander. Fortunately
a denial of this story reached here to-
night in time to head off what might
have proved a fresh cause of irritation.
