London, By Cable.-Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister to Great Brit
ain, expressed the opinion to the AS.
sociated Press that Admiral Togo
would not give battle to Admiral Ro,:
jestvensky with his entire squadron,
but would continue the cautious tac-
tics which characterized his attacks on
the Part Arthur squadron not because
he feared defeat, but owing to his de-
sire to iptlict the greatest amount OF
damages on the Russians with the
least loss to himself. While conf
dent of his ability to accomplish the
total destruction of the Russian squad
ron in big battle. there is the dam
ger of Togo losing one or two Of his
big ships. Therefore, Hayashi be-
lieves Togo will employ his torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers,
which number more than a hundred
and are vastly superior to the Russian
torpedo boat flotilla, in harassing the
Russians while gradually picking off
the Russian warships. He said the
coast of Japan, Korea and Formcsa
lend themselves to night work With
torpedo boats, while the narrow chan

"If Rojestvensky is still at KAN

Japan will file q cayeat. just as she

Minister Montono Calls on Foreign
Minister Del casse and Submits
Courteous but Earnest Representa-
tions Regarding the Prolonged Stay
Of Rojestvensky in Kamranh Bay.


structions from his government, DR..
Motono, the Japanese minister to
France, called on Foreign Minister Del
Casse this evening and submitted rep
reservations on behalf of Japan con-
cerning the presence Of the Russian
Pacific squadron in Kamtanh Bay. An
Icial communication issued after the
meeting states that Minister Monoto's
communication had no character of a
formal protest against an alleged vio-
Iation of neutrality, but was to OBJ
tain assurances that France would OBJ
serve strict neutrality.
The exact terms of Japan's repre-.
sentation has not been disclosed, but
it is understood, while having the US.
ual courteous form of diplomacy, they
set forth that serious apprehensions
had been aroused by the stay of the
Russian warships in Kamranh Bay,
and that urgent desire that French
neutrality be placed beyond doubt.
rne terms of the French responses,
although not given out, tend to give
ample assurances upon all the ques-
tions raised.
Besides these general assurances,
the conference doubtless permitted Of
the explanation of the French poi... OF
view concerning the stay of Russian
warships in Kamranh Bay. 1t is
maintained that this was at most a
brief sojourn, and not prolonged
stay, official information leading to the
belief that the squadron actually left
kamranh Bay last Sunday. No Japan
ese ships were in the vicinity during
the stay Of the Russian squadron, and,
therefore, it is held, it had not the
character of giving asylum to a belli-
gerent against the attack Of the enc
my.
It remains for Toxic, to which the
French reply was sent, to say wheth-
er the assurances are considered suf-
ficient. The opinion prevails here
that NJ. Del Casse's answer is of a
nature to prevent serious complica-
tions. However, the attitude of Soci-
alist deputies promises to bring up
the entire question before the cham
ber. M. Presens, one of Jaures' chief
lieutenants, has given notice of his
intention to question the government
on the presence Of Russian ships in In.
do Chinese waters. He holds that neu-
5trality has not been observed with
sufficient vigor.
The appearance of the question as a
political issue in political quarters,
leads to the feeling in some quarters
that Rojestvensky's presence in Indo-
Chinese waters constitutes consider
able menace to France, and may oper-
ate to weaken the bonds between
Russia and France.

tertained that the admiral will carry
