STATE DEPARTMENT
EXPLAINS THE SCOPE
OF HAYS PROPOSAL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The State
Department to-day issued this state
Inent:
After some preliminary exchange
of views between this Government and
the governments of other powers in
terested in Chinese matters, the de-
partment on the 10th of February sent
the following instructions to the
American representatives in st. Peters
burg, Toxic and Peking:
"'You will express to the Minister
of Foreign Affairs the earnest desire
of the Government of the United States
that III the course of the military
operations which have begun between
Russia and japan the neutrality of
China. and, in all practicable ways,
her administrative entity, shall be re-
spected by both parties, and that the
area of hostilities shall be localized
and minimiZed as much as possible, SO
that undue excitement of the Chinese
people may be prevented and the least
possible loss to the commerce and in,
tercourse of the world will be occa-

requested similar action on their part.

PEKING GOVERNMENT
ISSUES PROCLAMATION
OF CHINA'S NEUTRALITY

TOXIC. Feb. 13.--The Chinese Gov
ernment has proclaimed the neutrality
of China during the war between Rus
sia and Japan.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.--Sir Cheng-
tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese Min
ister here, called at the State Depart
ment to-day and formally notified Sec
retary Hay that the Emperor of China
had issued a proclamation OF neu-
trality. The Minister'S cablegram con-
tanned the further information that in
i~-uing this proclamation the Emperor
had in the strongest terms enjoined
the yiceroys and the Governors of the
provinces to adopt every precaution
for the protection Of foreign life and
property in their respective territories.
The Minister feels that there is no
danger of attacks upon foreigners on
Chinese soil in view of the strong Ian
guage OF the proclamation and its
speedy distribution.
Takahira, the Japanese Minister,
also called. He brought with him a

dence to-day under instructions from
the French Government to inform
him that France accepted gladly the
invitation Of the United States to ex-
press TO Russia and Japan concurrent
ly with the other powers the hope
that the neutrality of China and her
administrative entity would be re-
respected during the war and the hos
ulities be contained within as small
an area as possible.
1t is known inferentially that Rus
sia also will agree to the suggestion.
1t is suggested that Count Cassini will

morrow.

IF the main squadron off Port Ar

the Russian fleet undoubtedly would
come out and wait for it, or intercept
it at an advantageous moment. Japan

that Austria will seek to avoid any
participation in the proposed repre-
sentation to the belligerents on the
ground that she has small concern in
the matter, but no formal answer has
been received from her.
England wants more definite state
ment of the purpose and scope of the
note Secretary Hay is disinclined to
yield to this wish. He thinks that it
would be impossible to get the powers
together if any attempt were made to
very exactly define the purpose of con-
current action. AS to Manchuria, the
question is left open purposely as to
whether or not China's administration
is or is not in force in that warswept
territory. That is why the term admin
istrative entity was used in Secretary
Hays note. 1t is a question of fact, TO
be determined later on, whether or not
China does possess administrative en-
tity in Manchuria.

sue of the note is inexplicable to the
authorities here. 1t is declared that the
Government has been animated by the
most simple and direct purposes. and

note.
There is great danger of the flight
from Peking of the Chinese court If 1T
is not speedily proved that there is no
danger of any invasion of China by
one or the other of the belligerents.
The State Department has been warned
by China itself that the Chinese court s
fight would lead to a general rising
against foreigners that might result IN
massacres. And the end would be per-
haps the disruption of China. In this
event, it is believed here, the neutral
powers would make off with the lions
share, the belligerents being too much
occupied to prevent them. This convlc-
ton on the part of the officials here
causes them to freely express the opin-
ion that Russia will be guilty OF a
grave mistake if she reject Secretary
HAYS proposals. But if she does do So
it is said, there will be no attempt
made on our part to secure through
force of arms the purposes stated IN
the note. In other words, the United
States is not to be dragged into nos
tilities in the Far East"

NASHINGTONS NAVAL EXPERTS ARE DISPOSED To Minimize
THE IMPORTANCE Of JAPANESE VICTORY At PORT ARTHUR
Germany Fears Japanese Victory Would Mean
the Exclusion Of the White Race From Asia,

BERLIN, Feb. 1S.-The position OF
the German Government respecting
the sso-Japanese war is we'll de-
iined. 1t is exact neutrality in act, but
IN sentiment it is sympathetic toward
Russian predominance in China rather
than japanese predominance there.
The common talk in Ministerial
quarters is that this is not simple
contest for territory IN Korea or Man
churia, but rather a combat OF civili-
cation and OF race ideals, and if one
must choose between the white and
The yellow Germany stands by the

The Government here is conscious
that Russia has not acted wisely and
that Japan has sufficient reasons for
making war, and especially that after
the Chino-Japanese war Japan was ad-

Russia took possession of this place.
Germany recognizes, also, that other
powers have cause for complaint in

those Of the United States concerning

this week expressed this view to the
State Department in Washington.

In Field and Barracks Pe-ru-na Is
Equally EfficaciOus.

There is a natural reason for this. Pc
runa is a specific for catarrh wherever
located. 1t not only instantly cures acute
catarrh, but even old cases of chronic
catarrh vanish under its persistent use.
The soldier is especially subject to ca
tarrh in some form or phase. Exposed as
he is to constant changes, subject as he
is TO the vicissitudes of climate, wet and
dry, night and day, he finds catarrh to be
his most insidious and ever present foe.
In field and barracks Peruna is equally
efficacious. Taken in time it will abso-
lutely prevent catching cold.
After the cold has become esta blished
Peruna will break it up quicker than any
remedy known to man. Even after the
cold has settled in some organ, Pc

if Great Britain is disturbed lest the

how much more, as German thinkers
often aver. should Russia and all Eu-
rope fear this economic invasion. Chi
nese miners are now excluded from

AMERICA DEMANDS
AN EXPLANATION OF
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The
State Department has instructed En-
bassador Mccormick to ask the Rus
sian Government at St. Petersburg for
an explanation of the compulsory de-
tention in the harbor of Port Arthur
of the American steamship PIeiades,
which conveyed a cargo of -four to
that place from Honolulu before the
outbreak of hostilities. The ship is
owned by the Boston Towboat Com
pany, which has made formal COM
plant to the State Department, hence
the instructions to Minister McCor-
mick.
BY some of the officials here the
opinion is expressed that the detain-
ing of the ship is not in violation Of
international law, provide adequate
demurrage is paid to the owners OF
the vessel. 1t is assumed that the
vessel is detained for strategieal pur-
poses and naval officers point out that
her departure at this time might ena-
bic the Japanese to learn important
facts about the condition of aaffirs at
Port Arthur. 1t is roughly estimated
that ample demurrage would be from
800 TO $500 per day. depending upon
the value OF the vessels return cargo.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-Now that Of
fetal reports show that fewer Russian
ships at Port Arthur have been put out
of commission than was believed on the
day after the torpedo attack and the
fleet fight, naval and military experts
in making their estimates of the i'm
portance Of these engagements are no
longer inclined to say that Japan has
control of the sea. Because Of the dan
ger and difficulty of sending military
expedition even into Korea while so
many Russian ships are in Eastern
waters it is doubted here if Japan
would be able to inaugurate any land
fighting before there is another big
naval engagement.
The powerful Russian cruiser SQUAD
ron which has left Vladivostok prob
ably will successfully combat any
smaller Japanese fleet. That Japan
would attempt to land large army at
Port Arthur, or near there, is consid-
cred highly improbable by officers of
the War Department.
JAPAN FACES DIFFICULTIES.
A high officer of the navy. skilled in
naval strategy, said TO The Call corre-
spondent tonight that ii would be a
foolish effort at this time Although
the Japanese might have the Port Ar
thur branch of the Siberian railway be-
hind them IS they advanced northward
into Manchuria in an effort to attack
the Russian force on the Yalu from the
rear, it would not be possible to con-
duct effective operations with much
less than 100000 troops. To put this
immense force over the sea from Naga-
100 transports, each carrying at least
1000 men. 70 put such force across
the Straits of Korea to Fusan or Ma
sampho or to send it to Chemulpo
would be a sufficiently hazardous un-
dertaking with the cruiser squadron
from Vladivostok lowering to the
northward.
ITO send an army to Port Arthur
would be far more difficult" said the
naval expert. ''Troopships are hard to
convoy. One hundred of them would
make a very long string and would
require almost as strong a force as
Japan is now holding at Port Arthur.
The convoy of the fleet must be large
enough to successfully repel an attack
ing fleet and at the same time defend
the troopships from attack by torpedo
craft and small gunboats, one !, shot
from which would sink an ordinary
