ROOSEVELT THE MOVING SPIRIT.
Csar's Fleet Sails For VIadivostok, Not For Jibutil, on the Gulf of Alden - Japanese Thanking
 Lfnevitch's Army.

l LONDON, March A. It is stated
 that at it's meeting the British cabinet
 discussed proposals that have beer
 made for the intervention of the pow
 CTS in the interest of peace between
 Russia and Japan.
 The identity of the power that has
 taken the initiative is not disclosed
 but it is suggested that the initiative
 may have come from President Roose.
 welt, who, it says. is known to be de.
 sirous that the slaughter in Manchuria
 should cease.
 A St. Petersburg dispatch says that
 state of siege has been proclaimed in the government of Kutais, and General Prince Ordeliani has been invested with full powers as governor general over the towns of Kutais, Poti and Batum. A dispatch from Port Louis, island of Mauritius. says:
 "A steamer from Colombo, Ceylon, just arrived, reports that during the night of March 16 she met Russian torpedo boat, which was followed by a squadron of warships some distance behind. The steamer was unable to make out the number or character of the ships.'
 This news is considered very signifi- cant. as it indicates that Admiral Ro- jestvensky is not returning to Jibutil, French Somaliland. at the northeast corner of Africa. on the gulf of Alden, but is steering boldly across the In dian ocean. on the way presumably to Vladivostok.
 Rojestvensky left Nossi Be- a small island off the northwest coast of Mada :, gascar. week or so ago and had he been heading for the gulf of Alden could not possibly have met the Colom- bo steamer, whose course would lie several hundred miles to the east.
 It is possible that Rojestvensky is making for some small island, possibly the Chagos, in the middle of the Indian ocean, where he will wait until he is joined by Admiral Nebogatoff, whose second Pacific squadron is now pass ing through the Suez canal. The unit ed squadrons may then proceed east ward to meet Admiral Togo and the Japanese fleet. which is believed to be lying in walt somewhere near the strait of Malacca.
 Dispatches from Gunshu pass say that General Linevitch, the new con- mander in chief of the army, has re- ceived reports of Japanese turning movements on both Hanks of the Rus- sian army. Chinese state that the Jap anese have recruited many Chinese bandits and that probably they are now able to count superiority in cav airy as we'll as in infantry.
 The possibility that if the Russian army should be unable to hold the low. 'er line of the Sungar river at Chun- chiatsu it may be compelled to retreat not only to Harbin, but also farther westward along the railroad. abandon ing to the Japanese northern Manchu- ria and the Russian maritime Amur provinces as we'll. is the latest startling news from the front.
 A Warsaw report says that all Po- land is atlame over the shooting down of peasants at Lamenta. who had gath 1 cred to protest against the government seizing their horses foruse fin the war. While they were in the road the Kutno police chief rode up with company of | infantry and ordered the crowd to dis perse. The peasants. not understand ing Russian. remained in the road un- til the soldiers fired volley. Fifty | fell. two of them shot dead. The rest | broke and fled.
