NO Definite NEWS
AS to the Russian Fleets Position or
Movements.

London. April 20.-Although the in
formation has been cabled from Saigon
French CDchin-Chira that Admiral
JOnquieres. who went to Kamranh bay
i'll order to assure the observance of
French neutrality by the Russian Pa
citic Squadron. has returned to his
flagship AT Saigon. the dispatch con-
veys no information as to whether or
not RojestvenskE's ships are still ir
kamranh bay. Neither is there any
definite news regarding the progress
eastward Of Vice Admiral Neboga-
tof's division of the squadron.
Whilst the French report that he
had reached the Sunda Straits is not
believed on account Of The known slow
ness of his vessels. it is considered
within the bounds of possibility that
Rojestvensky's lingering in Kamranh
lay may be due to the conviction that
Nebosatoff Will soon join him.

ing granted. He thought that IL rail-
roads were giving rebates, they could
manipulate their books so that they
could not be detected. He did not think
the Interstate Commerce Commission

the Elkins law against rebates. He be-
lieved the private car lines, We're sub

Replying to Senator Clapp, he eX-
pressed a doubt whether it would be
practicable for railroads to own the re-
frigerator cars He said that these cars
were needed in different sections of the

f;o .as decline to adni. that there IS
anything in the Far Eastern naval sit
nation to cause excitement or to show
that it approaches an acute stage. In
other words. the foreign Office assumes
the attitude of much Interested spec
tator of an intensely dramatic situation.
which is approaching n climax in which
by some rlschance Great Britain might
he called on to play part
The announcement in the Paris dis
patches 10 The Associated Press that
DR.. Motono, the Japanese minister
there. has called upon Foreign Minis
ter Dclcasse with regard to the ques-
tion of neutrality, has not changed the
views of officials at the foreign Office,
where it was pointed out. today, that
Japan probably had not made a formal
or specific protest. but simply desired
assurance that France viii continue to
n'aintain neutrality and rot afford the
Russians any advantage inconsistent
with Frances responsibility as a neu-
trail. The foreign office assumes that
France most certainly will give such
assurance to Japan.
The foreign Office stated to The AS
ISOLATED Press that it was not at all
likely that Great Britain would be re-
quested by Jaran to take action in sup
port of any protest. The attitude Of the
foreign office is that there is not as vet
any proof that neutrality has been vio-
lated. and it prefers to think that
France is preserving neutrality accord
ing to her own Interpretation and that
Russia would not wilful!y involve her
ally. 1t is pointed out that similar
charges We're brought when Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's squadron was at
Nossi Be, and that there is no reason
to believe that there is any more ground
for the charge of actual violation of
neutrality at Kamranh Bay.
