A despatch from Saigon 10 the Psa
/ Journal says that after a four days cruise
4 the Russians returned to the Indo- Chinese
coast on Saturday and anchored In Thuyhoa
Bay. They were preparing TO renew t6siT
stock OF fresh provisions when Admiral
JonouiAres. hearing Of their press8es.
proceeded to Thuyhoa and requested Ad-
miral Roiestvensky TO leave French ter
ritorial waters at once.
Admiral Rojestvensky declared that Ne
would weigh anchor next day He eH-
planned that he had carried out no operntion
that violated neutrality. The cole objsot
OF his three calls on the Indo-Chtness cOa4t
was TO give his crews rest.
Admiral Jonquieres returned to ThuyhA
Yesterday and found the squadron etli
moored. but ready to sail. Admiral hojest-
vensky had told him that all his Units would
be at sea at dawn yesterday.
The Petl journal adds that after the
receipt OF the above news ViOs-Adnniral

Minister Deloasse and Colonial Minister
Clementel. Orders were sent at onOe 70

The GduIois says that the grievances OF
the japanese are a. singular a. they an
futile, their only basis being a telegram
from an agency which IL manilsstty hOotils
TO Francs, and the statements o. which are
manifestly inaccurate.
The Matin says that Il oan be easily IN
derstood why the authorities az sAigoa
refused to transmit the information oon-
tained in THE SUN oorTespondont's telsGram
about the Russian feet at KAmrAnh Bay.
Ii is quite untrue says the writer Of the
editorial, that large quantities Of coal and
provisions had been stored at Saigon and
the statement that Kamranh Bay is held a.
a concession by the Marquis Bartelemy
Pontali7 l. equally without Foundation,
because the Mdhn asserts, the Marquis
does not exist. Il il impossible that ahy
one could have stored merchandise ~
Ksmranh Bay, where there il not even a

Jonauieres was informed by telegraph OF
the presence Of the Russisn Meet az KAN

Since Admiral Rojestvensky left the
BsHic, SAYS the Mdhn, there have been
only two cases in which the French suthoFi-
les have had anything to do with his heet /.
Those were when two Russian dest Foyers

The French Government haA taken every
preca,tion to insure the Observance OF The

the face OF this, the Adtin concludos, 20

The correspondent Of the hdin At b.
Petersburg says: Echoes Of the grpas
anger Of the Japanese against France In
regard 10 neutrality have reached here,
but they cause no excitement. The In
terests which France has In the Far Fast
excite no one. To be- enact, must tell you
that, outside Of liberal circles, no gratitude

The correspondent also says that the rea-
