Russia's Reply Considered Responsive.
PARIS. February 3o-It is learned that
the Russian foreign minister. Count Lams-
dorf, today received from the Washington
government communication announcing
that Russia's reply was considered respon-
sive to the American note on China, and
would be transmitted to the governments or
China and Japan. This favorable response
from the United States to Russia Is highly
gratifying to the officials here. as it coun-
teracts the mischieyous reports to the ef-
feet that the Russian answer was equiva-
lent to rejection. As a matter OF fact,
Russia's reply is practically the same as
those of the other powers, recognizing the
neutrality of China, with the exception of
Manchuria. The terms of the Russian re-
ply are substantially as follows:
Terms of Russian Reply.
Russia will be glad to join with the other
powers in the recognition of Chinese neu-
trality on three conditions:
'F'irst-That China shall maintain nell
trality.
'Second-That Japan shall Loyalty support
this neutrality.
"Third-That Manchuria. being the field
of military operations, shall not be in
cluded."
The reply is quite brief, not containing
any language beyond the foregoing three
conditions and the Introductory sentence.
The communication which Count Lams-
dorf has now received from Secretary Hay
is equally brief and explicit, and Is con-
fined to the statement that Russia's answer
is considered responsive to the American
proposition, and Will be transmitted to
China and Japan.

Mission Only a Private One.

LONDON, February 20-Count Bencken-
derff the Russian ambassador, left Lon
don this morning for st. Petersburg. The
afternoon newspapers made sensations out
of his departure. connecting it with rumors
that the car was displeased with his am
bassadors at Washington and London, and
with his late minister at Tokyo, owing to
the recent turn of events, and out of base
less rumors of threatening European
II oubles.
The Russian embassy said positively that
Count Benckendorff had gone to st. Peters
burg for three days to bid farewell to his
son. who is going to the far east with his
regiment The embassy added that the
ambassadors journey was in no way con-
nected with his position as ambassador
The foreign Office here confirms this.
Uneasiness on Continent.
The uneasness exhibited on the continent
in regard to the possibility that a Euro
pean war may ensue from the struggle in
the far east Is not shared by Great Britain.
No power has made such complete naval
preparation for every contingency, and yet
nowhere is confidence greater that the hos
tilities VIII be confined to Russia and Japan
than 1t is in London. vs,i
The naval and military preparations an
nounced from continental capitals are re-
measures which any power must adopt,
however remote the contingency of their
employment may appear.
1t is also thought that the lull in the
actual war news has led many European
correspondents to employ their spare time
in exaggerating the sentimental action, and
I'M applying such steps as have actually
been taken to erroneous motives.
The latest of these, the dispatch from
Madrid announcing that preparations have
been made to send reinforcementss to the
Baleric Islands. meets with an emphatic
denial in Interested quarters, and the addi-
tional statement from Madrid that Great
Britain intends to seize Spanish points in
the event of war has not even the sem
blance of probability.

present moment Spain and Great Britain

phatically declared that the movements OF
