some doubt as to Mr.. Kennedys posi-

IT was compelled by stomach trouble

stay of the Russian gunboat Mandjur
at Shanghai remains unsettled. Paul
Lessar, Russian minister to China, is
said to be trying to intimidate the

The court at Pekin is oscillating on
this question. Russia is also pressing

JAPANESE GUARDING
SECRETS WITH CARE.
They Do Not Advertise Their Plans

They Do Not Advertise Their Plans
or Movements.
London. Feb. 26.-War correspondents
and Europeans in Japan comment in
amazement upon the success of Japa-
nese officials in preserving secrecy re-
garding all the operations of war and
declare the conspiracy of silence is not
confined to government and service cir
Giles, but that it extends to every sec
ton of the community. All classes of
people are submitting with marvellous
patience to being deprived of news,
which they recognize is imperative to
the success of the national cause.
1t is undoubtedly in pursuance of this
policy that no japanese accounts of
the Port Arthur attacks has yet been
published, and none is expected until
Admiral Togo has completed his de-
signs there.
In the meantime, if the report from
I'm Kow of a japanese landing near
Nladivostok, which at present is based
on missionary and native statements,
should prove correct, a most important
and new development in the Japanese
operations will have been revealed, as
II points to an attack on Vladivostok
from which Possiet bay is only a little
over seventy miles distant.
The report that the railroad has been
cut between Hardin and Vladiv ostok
may possibly be connected with these
operations, but until more reliable in
formation is Forthcoming this report
must be received with reserve. 1t has
already been reported from Toxic that
certain Russian forces were concen-
rating at Possiet bay.
NO further news of an attack on
FORT Arthur after the engagement in
which the Japanese attempted to sink
vessels in such a manner as to block
the harbor entrance has reached Lon
uon. Almost all the English newspa-
pers, in discussing Viceroy Alexieff' s
reports. incline to the belief that Adj
nlral Togo succeeded in so far as to
make the channel impossible for large
Dattleships, even If II is still free to
smaller craft. and presume that the
reported second attack, II II occurred,
was devoted to an attempt to sink fur
ther obstacles to navigation.

He had not, he said, consulted his as

continued, II cannot find in this evil
dence anything that warrants me in
saying that 1t justifies the conviction of
Samuel A. Croft"
1t was, however, he added, fixed on
