SITUATION IN WARSAW
GROWS VERY SERIOUS

people firing from their houses on the
troops in N~oviswiat street.
In the Viola district, which is reput-
ed to be the most ~riotous, I found re-
ports much exaggerated, but the dis
trict is held by an enormous body Of
troops, and a h appearance OF an
army headquarters. A mob Of desper-
soldiers bayonets aside to get at a bak-
cry. The guard proved good natured
n avoided hurting the women. 1 am
accustomed to the sight Of misery, but
the haggard, starving wretchedness Of
these women will haunt me to my dying
day. The troops and the people had a
little pitched battle here before military
rule was established. Even now the
slightest weakening OF the military
would result in an immediate recrudes-
ence OF violence. Many rioters who
have been arrested were found to be
armed witt long knives and a uniform
kind of revolver, confirming reports
that the revolutionary party some time
back succeeded in smuggling thousands
Of revolvers.
1.-THE situation on the whole has not
improved. The rioters avoid open con-
fiict, but seize every opportunity to
Wreak vengeance on the troops. FOcd

ATTACK BRITISH OFFICIALS.
New Complications Between Groat
Britain and Russia Are Feared.

ST. Petersburg, January 30.-New
complications between Great Britain
and Russia are feared O. account OF
the attack on the British consul and
vice consul at Warsaw Saturday night.
Sir Charles Hardinge, the British am
bassador has delivered a note to For
eign Minister Lamsdorff asking for an
Immediate investigation and eXplaGa-
ton, reservng any claims which may
be hereafter made and at the same
time asking for the protection Of Brit
ish consuls throughout h empire. BY
the first train he also despatched Major
Napier, the British military attache
to Warsaw to secure full report on th3
circumstances.
Count Lamsdorff FASTENED to reply
to Ambassador Hardinge's note eX-
pressing regret If the British consul
general and vice consul at Warsaw
were injured and informing him that
an immediate inquiry would be made
to establish the facts.
Count LamsdOrff replied to Ambas-
sador Hardinge'S second note on the
subject Of the Moscow placards By
saying that Instructions had been sent
to remove all traces of the placards
from the streets. It is now learned,
however, that similar notices had been
posted at Libau and Reval which led to
a renewal of representations On this
score.

Alarming Condition of Affairs in War
saw, LODI and Libau.

st. Petersburg, January 80, 11:45 p.
m.-The day here was passed in per-
feet quiet. AS yet there have been no
manifestations of terrorism. The re-
port that a bomb was thrown at the
governor generals residence is I'M
founded.
Interest had been transferred entire
Iy from ST. Petersburg and Moscow to
Warsaw, LODI and Libau. where a
state of siege has been proclaimed.
Warsaw is the chief centre of interest
on ccoun of the rioting thd,e on
Sunday night, in which at least $50
persons were killed or wounded. The
strike continues undated and business
is paralyZed, but there was better or
der during the day. In Warsaw. how
ever. the crisis is by 40 means passed
and there is great apprehension here
with regard to what the night may
bring forth, especially if the attempt
to disable the lighting system should
be successful. The Warsaw lemon
strators evidently are in an s!y
mood.
The public reprimand administered
to Deputy Chief of Police Roudneff. of
Moscow on account of the posting Of
the anti British telegram in that city
has been delivered and in government
circles it is thought to be severe
enough to satisfy British opinion.

While there seems to have been a
complete restoration of order in st.
Petersburg and Moscow, conditions at
Warsaw continue to go from bad to
worse. Estimates of the killed and
wounded in consequence of collisions
between mobs and soldiers place the
number at $50. The bakers being on
strike. bread is at famine prices in
Warsaw. and attempts to break into
stores there lave caused numerous
collisions with the military. The find
ing Of revolvers Of uniform make on
many of the rioters arrested, affords
confirmation of recent reports hat
revolutionary a%gitators have been
smuggling arms in anticipation of an
outbreak. 1t is asserted that the Off
cial tale of the dead, through the re-
CEN conflict between the strikers ard
troops at Riga, is far short of the &C
tuality, many having persisted in an
attempt to cross the river on the ice
when the soldiers opened fire, the ice
breaking and the waters enguIfing the
fugitives.

London, January 30.-Reports Of cou-

patkinS latest offensive movement was
to capture the important position a.
Sandepas, or the left bank of the Hun
river and thereby outflank the japanese
from the Shakhe river and enable the
Russian army to undertake a general
advance. At Sandepas the japanese
occupied a strongly fortified position
commanding the triangle formed by the
confluence of the Hun and Shakhe riy-
ers.
The japanese had erected there a fort
OF a permanent type, with triple work.
and trenches extending in q southwest
eriy direction. Several villages to the
northeast were also strongly fortified.
The positions were held by twelve bat
tafons of Japanese. partly drawn from
General Nogi'S army and partly re-
serves. The Russians carried the first
line OF entrenchments, but were unahic
to maintain their position on the out
skirts Of Sandepas in the face of fierce
cannonadfng. The fighting was trans
ferred westward. The japanese coun-
ter-attacked with a brigade of infantry,
en~deavoring to envelop the Russians.
but the cavalry protecting the Russian
flank drove back the Japanese with
heavy loss. A ounte attack on the
villages captured by the Russians at
the outset of the fight was also beaten
off, but at the cost to the Russians Of
several thousand killed or wounded, ill

wounded in the knee. The heaviest suf-
ferers were the newly arrived brigade

Field Marshal Oyama, as at the battle
of the Shakhe river, appears to have
answered the Russian advance with a
counter offensive movement; but no
great disposition was shown to carry
the warfare into the territory held by
the Russians.
AT the war office there is an inclina-

failure of the movement to a sudden
change of the weather to intense cold.

movement against Field Marshal Oya-

advantage OF the check of the Russians,

sumed the offensive on the Hun river as
