NO NEW MOBILIZATION
War Minister Says, However, that War

. st. Petersburg, April 4.-War Minis
ter Sakharoff declares that the reports
Of Russia, countermanding orders for
war: material abroad are baseless and
grow out Of the declination Of foreign
offers with which the war office and
admiralty have been swamped. He in
sists that there has been no relaxation
in the preparations to continue the
war, but says there will be no new
mobilization at present, explaining as
stated in these dispatches that 100000
troops Of the last. mobilization have al
ready started for the front and that in
stead Of mobilizing new troops, these
will be forwarded. go.
General Sakharoff denied emphatically
that he ever intrigued against General
Kuropatkin, affirming that he gave the
latter a most loyal support. At the
same time, in discussing the battle of
Mukden, sSakharoff declared the men
and material Of the Russian army were
equal to those Of the Japanese, forcing
the reluctant conclusion that the Jap
anese generalship was superior to the
Russian. ''.s ~ =.
Sakharoff made the important admis.
sion that reserve men were only sent in
the early stages Of the war "before we
had assurances from Europe which is
interpreted as a concession that an ar.

Washington, April 4.-Congress is to

If bill as finally passed should be
