General Kuropatkin. it is remem-

rapidly formed very high opinion of
the efficiency of the japanese troops.
1t may also be recalled that he be-
longed to the anu-war party. AT re-
cent audience with the emperor Cen
eral Kuropatkin spoke very openly
about the necessity of his having n
large number Of troops. and he is fur
'ther credited with having said:
You majesty Will need me back soon
to look after European DEVELOPMENTS.
ens very probably the key to this IS
given in the statement OF widely
known Russian international jurist,
who says It is quite possible that Rus
sia will wage war concerning the
Thihetan question, but with Thibet the
cnly ostensible cause to be used in case
England should make any move Of too
friendly a nature toward Japan.
