vENskY CONSIDERED ACT
OF sELL'eERENcY.

Toxic, May 10.-The feeling of re-
sentiment against France for the as
%sistance given to the Russian Second
Pa ; c squadron continues to run high
anu Is finding expression in a variety
OF ways. The nearness of the Russian
seu4..Ion and the nature of the prep
a .a..uns which Admiral R~ojestvensky
is Known to have made in French wa
tcls .eem to have suddenly convinced
many people that it would have been
impossible for Rojestvensky to come
to the Far East without outside assist
an,e. which has given a sinister tone
to the popular resentment.
in the crisis many eyes are turned
towards Great Britain for assistance.
1t is argued that France rescued Ro-
%jestvensky from absolute failure to
reach the China sea and that the final
aid given to the Russians in Indo-China
amounts to an act OF belligerency and
there are many demands that Japan
invoke the alliance with Great Britain.
Formerly a large section Of the public
was inclined to view with %leniency the
French acts OF friendship for Russia
on account of the formers delicate
position as an ally and creditor. The
suspicion that Rojestvensky was not a
welcome guest at kamranh bay and
that he was presuming upon French
hospitality also tempered the feeling
OF resentment, but recent events are
removing these attitudes and the ma
tional sentiment is uniting in uncondi-
tional lnsistence that France preserve
neutrality.
The Japanese government has not
taken the people of the country into
its confidence. Since the Kamranh
bay incident nothing has been officially
made known except that the govern.
ment was making vigorous representa-.
lions at Paris, while proceeding care
fully and cautiously, not desiring to
resort to extreme measures while q
hope OF an adjustment exists.

NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
Russian View of Japanese Threats
Against France.

AHdtt1SI TldtIIS'
st. Petersburg, May 10.-The Japa-
nese threats against France are not
taken very seriously here. The Rus
sian authorities continue to maintain
that Admiral R~ojestvensky has not
overstepped the limits of neutrality.
In view OF the excited state of the
Japanese over the possibility of the
fruits of their previous land and sea
victories being swept away Japan's
protests are considered quite natural,
but her minatory attitude toward a
chivalrous country like France is re-
garded as a blunder. While Great
Britain is expected to support her ally
and secure fair play should Japan
press France too far Great Britain, it
10 said, ear be counted upon to use all
her influence to calm the statesmen at
Toxic. The interests of Japan could
not be served, according to opinion
here, by an extension Of the hostilities
unless Admiral Togo is beaten, in
which case it is not doubted that Japan
will use the pretext of French violation
Of neutrality to demand the fuifiilmenG
If Great Britain's obligations to her
ally. The opinion is held in some
quarters that it is exactly this contin-
gency which japan has in view.

R%ojestvensky Ordered to Quit French
Territorial Waters.


Paris, May 1O.-Orders have been
sent to the civil and naval authorities
in French Indo-China not to permit the
junction within French waters of the
Russian naval forces under Admiral
Rojestvensky and Rear Admiral Ne
bogatoR. Instructions have also been
Sent to Admiral de J%onquieres, the
French naval commander, to see that
Rojestvensky fully observes the prom
Use he has already given to leave
French waters.
These orders resulted from the re-
ceipt OF a detailed dispatch giving an
account of Admiral de Jonquieres'
meeting with Rojestvensky. The dis.
patch says the Russian squadron made
Q 1our days cruise on the high sea
outside the three-mile limit and then
returned last Saturday, anchoring at
Konghai bay, coast of AMMAN, to take
on provisions and fresh water. When
Admiral de Jonquieres was informed
of the Russians return he proceeded
to Konghai and requested Admiral Ro
jestvensky to Immediately withdraw
outside territorial waters. The Rus
sian admiral gave De J%onquieres his
word that he intended to leave his
anchorage and take to the open sea
He also Informed De Jonquieres that
In his communications with the land
he had not violated any of the neutral
lily regulations and that the stops Of
the Russian squadron along the Indo
China coast were for the purpose Of
resting the crews. The Russian ad
miral said he would depart the follow
ing day.
