volumes for 100000. They are an
Evangellarium Of the sixth century
and other similar manuscripts of the
sixth to the eleventh century, former

elaborate early metal bindings and or
namented enamels and bas reliefs Of
precious stones. The same volumes

RESPECT NEUTRALITY
RoJEsTvENsKY TOLD TO RleoR-
oUsLY RESPECT NEUTRALITY
OF FRENCH WATERS.
LACKS NECESSARY WARsHIPs TO
ExPEL RUSSIAN SQUADRON
FROM kAMRANH BAY.

Paris, April Pas a result of com.
munications between the governments
at Paris and St. Petersburg the ?iUs-
sian government has forwarded urgent
orders to Admiral Rojestvensky to rig
orously respect the neutrality of
French waters. This is precaution-
airy measure. In addition special in
structfons have been sent to the gov
ernor general of Indo-China, M. Beau,
and Foreign Minister Delcasse has in
structed the French minister at Toxic
to give the Japanese minister for for
eign affairs assurances that it is
Frances purpose to preserve strict
neutrality, these being similar to the
assurances given to DR.. Motono. the
Japanese minister at Paris.
According to the official view the
foregoing steps should exercise a dis
tinctly calming influence upon Japan,
rs they show France directly and
through Russia has adopted all avail
able means to insure respect of the
neutrality of French waters. The
officials say that the only additional
measure OPEN is the use of French
warships to employ force in expelling
Rojcstvensky's squadron. Such q
course. however, is said TO be impos.
sihle, owing TO the small number OF
French ships in lndo-Chinese waters.
Moreover. as an othcial remarked,
France is not in the habit OF resortlng
to such extreme measures as using
force. This is particularly true in
the case Of Russia, owing to the CON-
plications which might arise from
France adopting forcible steps against
Russia. Therefore the Instructions
already given from Paris and St, Pc.
tersburg are relied upon to prevent
Admiral Rojestvensky from encroach-
Ing upon French territorial waters.
DR.. Motono, in an interview, said
his request was that France observe
neutrality by adopting all the neces-
sary measures for preventing Admiral
Rojestvenskys squadron from remain
ing any longer in French territorial
waters at Kamranh bay. The minis
Ter added that the Russian ships are
quite inside French waters and not
outside of them.

2 Paris. April 22.--Japan's representa-

may drive the Toxic cabinet to take
extreme action. We therefore insist
that the Rouvier ministry rapidly
adopt steps in conformity with the

tsnance of peace. All france agrees
that the government has the duty of
protecting French neutrality and thus
