Toxic Government Tells Why Neao-
tlations Were Ended.
Toxic, Feb 9.-Last, night the for
eign Office issued q review OF the ne
gotfattons with Russia leading up to.
the rupture Of diplomatic relations.
The review says the last reply from
Russia was received at Toxic Jan. s.
In this reply Russia did not mention
the question, of the territorial In
tegrity of China in Manchuria, on
which Japan had asked for an as
suFance: and that Russia insisted that
Japan recognize Manchuria and its
littoral as outside her sphere Of In
terest and also maintained her de-
mands regarding neutral zone in
Korean territory and the non-employ-
ment by Japan of Korean territory for
strategical purposes. The statement
concludes that the Japanese govern
ment has been throughout actuated by
principles Of moderation, impartiality
and, has demanded of the Russian. gov
ernment no more than the recognition
of the principle which has been re-
peatedly voluntarily announced by
Russia herself. While the Russian
government persistently refused to ac-
cede thereto, and while unduly delay
ing on the one hand their replies
whenever they had to make one, had
on the other hand augmented their
military and naval preparations. In
fact, large Russian force was on the
Korean frontier. The Japanese gov
ernment, while animated with a sin
cere desire for peace, had been ex-
ercising the utmost degree of patience
but was reluctantly compelled by the
action of Russia to give up all hopes
of reconciliation and break off their
negotiations.

JAPAN VERY MODERATE.
Demands Of the Island Empire Will

London, Feb. S.-The Times as
sorts that the Japanese demands were
OF moderation that will astonish the
world when they are disclosed. Japan
did not even ask Russia to promise to
move single soldier from Manchu-
ria or to renounce single right in
Manchuria.

same subject, asserts that the original
draft of the treaty submitted to Rus

Withdrawal Of Ministers to Be Follow
ed by War,

Toxic, Feb. 8.-The severance of
diplomatic relations between Russia
and Japan appears to be only step
towards war, although when the min
listers Of Russia and Japan withdraw
from their respective posts quick and
decisive action Is expected. When
Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura
on Saturday notified Baron de Rosen,
the Russian minister, Of Japan's de-
termination to sever diplomatic rela-
tions, he is reported to have declared
to him that Japan is tired Of Russia's
delays, evasions and inslncerity and
has decided to take independent action
for the conservation of Japan's Orient
al interests.
Japan's repeated requests for an i'm
mediate answer were treated in a
most unsatisfactory manner. Japan
waited until convinced that it was use
less to wait longer and ended the dis
cussion.
The indications are that there will
be no formal declaration of war.
Japan will publicly define its position
and purpose and the foreign Office has
prepared a news statement which prob
ably will be issued today.
Japan will unquestionably seize
Korea at once and although Russia
has previously intimated that it would
not interfere, in view of that coun-
try's present attitude, developments
are eagerly awaited.
Baron de Rosen, the Russian min
lister, has arranged to depart from To-
kio Friday next, direct for St.. Peters
burg with his family, the secretaries
and attaches of the Russian legation
and number of priests of the Russian
church.
The Austro-Hungarian minister, H.
Dambro, will assume charge of the
Russian interests and take charge of
the legation property.
Baron de Rosen is said to be Sc
riously disappointed and dispirited
over the outcome of the negotiations.
The government preliminary esti-
mate places the amount of money
which it is possible to raise by the
sale of war bonds at 100000 900 yen,
and Is much gratifled at the financial
prospect

ON BEHALF OF THE POPE.
Monsignore LorenzeIIi Offers Japan
Mediation,

Paris, Feb. 9-Monsignore Loren
zelli, the papal nuncio, acting on or
ders from Rome, requested an inter-
view of M. Montono, the Japanese
minister, Monday afternoon. The
meeting lasted for a quarter of an
hour, but nothing concerning it has
been given out officially. There is
reason to believe, however, that Mon
signore Lorenzelli offered Japan the
mediation of the pope, if it were not
too late to settle the conflict without
a declaration of war and bloodshed.
1t is said that NJ. Montono promised to
telegraph this offer 20 his government
at once.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 8:-Count
Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minis
ter. has officially informed the Russian
representatives abroad that Japan has
decided to break off negotiations with
Russia and to withdraw the minister
and the whole Japanese legation staff
from St. Petersburg.
The Russian foreign minister there
upon ordered the Russian minister,
Baron de Rosen, and his staff to leave
Toxic.
The Official Messenger publishes
the following circular telegram dated
Feb. 6, which has been. sent out by
the Russian foreign minister to the
representatives of the Russian gov
ernment abroad:
"Actlng under the instructions from
his government, the Japanese minis
ter at the imperial court has present
ed a note which informs the imperial
government of the decision of Japan
to break off further negotiations and
recall her minister and the entire
staff at the Japanese legation.
I'm consequence of this his i'm
perial majesty has been pleased to
order that the Russian minister at
Toxic with the whole staff of the i'm
perial mission shall leave the capital
of Japan without delay. Such an at
titude on the part of the Toxic gov
eminent, which has not even awaited
the arrival of the answer of the i'm
perial government, which was sent off
during the past few days, throws the
whole responsibility for the conse-
quences which may arise from rup-
ture of diplomatic negotiations be-
tween the two empires on Japan"
The Russian representatives at Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rome and
at Washington have notified those
governments of Japan's action and
place the onus for the strained situa-
tion upon the island empire.
Although Japan may land troops in
Korea at once, it not improbable that
actual fighting may be delayed for
some time.
