LONDON, March a. - 1t is stated
that ut its meeting the British cabinet
discussed proposals that have been
made for the Intervention of the pow
ers in the interest of peace between
Russia and Japan.
The identity of the power that has
taken the initiative is not disclosed
but il is suggested that the Initiative
may have come from President Roose-
welt, who, it says, is known TO be de-
sirous that the slaughter in Manchurla
should cease.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says that
a state of siege has been proclaimed IN
the government of Kutais, and General
Prince Ordeliani has been Invested WIN
full powers as governor general over
the towns of KutaiS, Poti and Batum.
A dispatch from Port Louis, island
Of Mauritius, says:
a steamer from Colombo, Ceylon,
Just arrived, reports that during the
night of March 1G she met Il Russian
torpedo boat, which was followed by a
squadron of warshipS some distance
behind. The steamer was unable TO
make out the number or character OF
the ships"
This news is considered very signid'
cant, as it indicates that Admiral Ro-
.jestvensky is not returning TO Jibutil,
French Somaliland, at the northeast
corner of Africa, on the gulf of Alden,
but is steering boldly across the In
dian ocean. on the way presumably to
VladivoStok.
Roiestvensky left Nossi Be, a small
island off the northwest coast Of NADIA
gascar, Il week or so ago II had he
been heading for the gulf of Aden
could not possibly have met the Colon
DO steamer, whose cours would lie
several hundred miles to the east.
II is possible that Rojestvensky is
making for some small island. possibly
the Chagos, in the middle of the Indian
ocean. where he will wait until he is
joined by Admiral Nebogatof, whose
second Pacific squadron is now pass
ing through the SueZ canal. The unit
pu SNudtltlS may tHtH bioNNNN N"N
ward to meet Admiral Togo and the
Japanese fleet, which is believed to be
lying in wait somewhere near the
strait of Malacca.
Dispatches from Gunshu pass say
that General Linevitch, the new com
mander i'll chief of the army, has re-
ccivcd reports of Japanese turning
movements ON both TANKS of the Rus
sian army. Chinese state that the Jap
lncsc have recruited many Chinese
bandits and that probably they are
low able to count a superiority in cav
