Russia has warned the United States
that behind the japanese plan to have
the Emperor Of Korea visit Toxic is
plot to keep the Emperor in Japan and
put on the throne in Korea some one who
will be ruled absolutely by the japanese,
making Korea virtually a japanese pos
session. Russians claim the Japanese
have gone so far as to erect a palace in
Toxic in which the Korean Emperor is
to live. The Japanese minister at Wash
ington denies that there is any plan to
detain the Emperor in Japan.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR
World Has Been Anxiously Expecting
Naval Combat.

Naval Combat.
With ROjestvensky' fleet finally at
sea and Il naval combat within the
possibilities at any day, and the Jap
anese armies north of Mukden advanc-
ing on the Russian positions. the war
in the far East again assumed mo-
mentOuS interest.
Rojestvenskys feet left the friendly
shelter of the bays along the French
Indo- China coast on May IA or -.
The fact was officially reported to the
French admiralty. The Russian vice
admiral left siXty-three transports and
Golfers behind him, and these have as
SemDled near Saigon. All this seemed
to indicate that the Russian vice add
niral had started on the final stage of
the voyage that would end either With
battle and disaster with Togo or at
NladivOStOk.
The Russian fleet was last sighted
on May Is. 1t was then 100 miles
from the IndO-C China coast and 700
miles south of the island of FOrmoSa,
steaming nOrthward slowly. From
where the fleet was sighted it had the
easy choice of three routes: Either
north of LuZOn into the Pacific, or
through the Bashee channel and
thence northward east of FOrmOSa. or
between Formosa and the China coast.
Or, as suggested by French naval Off
GERS. Rojestvensky may divide his
fleet, thus making TOgO's problem
doubly difficult.
Togo still continues to battle the
scrutiny of the merchant shipping of
the far East His whereabouts have
not been discovered. From Toxic
comes word that the Japanese fleet
ultimately will be REINFORCED by four
battleships and two cruisers from
among the Russian ships sunk at Port
Arthur. 1t is asserted that the battle
ships RetviZan, POltaya, PereSviet and
Pobieda and the cruisers Bayan and
Pallada can be put in fighting shape
by an expenditure of 100000 each
100000 for the siX-or less than the
cost of one tirSt-clas battleShip. If
this report be true, Russia'S task of
regaining control of the sea in the far
East will be made increasingly ditf-
cult
The land campaign has developed to
the point where a battle is imminent.
Field Marshal Oyama has spent two
months in reshaping his campaign
plans. He has brought up 10000 fresh
troops and is now said by Russian Off
GERS to have more than 100000 men
ready for the advance, which is to cap
ture Kirn and Hardin, isolate Vlad-
ivostok, and perhaps drive the Rus
slams west of Tsitsihar.
The war may be said to be entering
its most dramatic stage. Both RUSSIA
and Japan seem about to stake their
military and naval resources in de
cisive combatS. If ROjestvenSky's ar
mazda is scattered and sunk and Line
yitch'S army defeated and cut off from
the railroad. RuSSia'S cause will be
lost, for the Cars naval resources for
the present decade are exhausted, and
without command of the sea he is
helpless against Japan. IT, on the other
hand. ROicStvenSky is victorious and
regains command of the sea. Japan'S
unbroken series of victories from pOrt
Arthur to Mukdcn will be of little
value to her in the final settlement
