BRITISH NAVAL PROGRAMME PUT INTO
WORDS BY THE ADMIRALTY LORD

London, March oi.-In the house Of
lords this evening the navy eXpendi-
iure was lengthiIy discussed on the
call OF tho Liberal leader, Earl Spen-
cor. for papers regarding the naval
programme He said he did not desire
10 condemn the government but he
wanted an explanation Of the plans
involving the withdrawal of such
large number Of vessels from the list
Of vessels which could be commissioned
Tor active service and the reasons for
the increased expenditure since 1S94-5.
NlScoUnt GOSchen justified the vast
increase i'm the last fifteen years. ne
said the two-Power standard was, no
longer applicable. One thing had been
j strongly brought out by the Russo
aJapanese war, namely, difficulties
which might arise with neutraIs, and
the necessity of maintaining an atti-
fude OF dignity and power thereto. Wis
count GoSchen said he did not think
there was any harm in discussing these
questions. Chancellor Won Buelow was
very candid occasionally in remarks
with regard to European politics. Con-

RACE TO sUNGARI BRIDGE.
Its Protection Essential to Safety of
Russians.

st. Petersburg, March y. 1.15 T. M
General LinevitCh'S headquarters has
been established for the present at
Chen ChiawatZu, situated at the cross
ing of the Sungari river. whence he is
directing the retreat of the three ar
mics and disposing of the fresh troops
OF the Fourth corps, just arriving from
European Russia.
The protection of Sungari bridge is
vital to the salvation of the army, as
the river is not fordabIe below Karin
and once the line of the river is passed
and the bridge blown UP, the Japanese
pursuit will be effectually checked. At
the same time the Second army is fall
ing back Of the line of the railroad.
while the First and Third and trans
ports are Tetreating along the Manda-
r1n road to klrin, both destroying
bridges and roads, and denuding the
country behind them and making it
impossible for the Japanese TO live in
the immediate wake of the retreat
without their own commissariats.
The japanese are advancing over the
grand trade route twenty miles west
OF the railroad. However. they could
probably live on the country, the road
just before the opening of the naviga-
tion of the Lao river being crowded
with Chinese provisions on the way to
market southwark. There is a question

information is obtaina,ble regarding the
strength of the japanese column ad-
vancinS along the grand trade route,
but the war office says IL is hardly large
enough to constitute a. menace with the
dispositions General Linevitch is able
to make of fresh troops. Nevertheless,
st. Petersburg is in the dark as to the
exact situation ana considering the re-
sourcefulnesS of the japanese, there is
constant fear that they may manage
to get astride of the railroad and bar
the Russians retreat.

CLAIMS OF FRANCE.
UItimatum Has Not Bevn Presented
as Vet

Paris. March 21.-The foreign office
says the French minister at Caracas
has not presented an ultimatum to
Venezuela, and no French warship has
been sent to Venezuela The statement
to that effect results from the publica-
ton in London newspapers of dis
patches saying the presentation of an
ultimatum had been followed by the
dispatch of two warships. The officials
here are surprised and displeased at
the reports, which they cOnstrue as
tending to force the hand of France
into a more aggressive and belligerent
policy than France -COntemplateS. The
United States occupies the best position
in which to send warships owing to the
length of time the American controver-
Sy with Venezuela has been pending
whereas the French controversy is Of
comparative recent origin and has not
yet been decided by the courts.
The instructions sent to the French
minister at Caracas directed that di-
plOmatic representation be made re-
lative to the holding Up of the vested
rights Of the cable company but did
not contemplate threats or an ultima
tUm, as the authorities say the affair
has not gravity calling for steps Of
such Il war-Iike character. Up to
noon today neither the foreign office
nor the cable company had received
the expected decision of the Caracas
court upon the French Gable company S
concession.
The council Of ministers met this
morning and Foreign Minister DeIcasse
lengtheily detailed the relations with
Morocco, but the statement regarding
the proceedings of the council does not
mention Venezuela. This means that
no action Will be taken pending the re-
ceipt of information as to the Caracas
courts decision.
There is great reluctance on the part
of officials to the adoption of the lat
ter course, but the situation is believed
TO be such that unless the department
is willing to submit to the complete en-
actment of the American claims, some
action must be taken very soon The
reported arrangement whereby Presi-
dent Castro through his agent Senior
Nelutina has agreed to set apart 30
per cent of all the Venezuelan customs
receipts outside OF the ports of La
Gudyra and Porto CabelIO 10 satisfy
German bOndhOldeTS, which. if Consum-
mated, it is feared Will make il
impossible to secure single
cent from Venezuela for the
payment of any just American claims,
for there will be no surplus, the remain
ing 50 per cent of the revenues being
required for the support of the Vcne-
zuelan government.

uers TO great establishments outside of
RUSSIA Tor renewal of her navy. He
did not think the fact that Russia
had lost five battleships was a. circum-
stance SUFFICIENT to justify the arrest OF
Great Britains shipbuilding pro
gramme,
The first lord of the admiralty. the
Earl of SelbOurne, said the increased
expenditure was due to the fact that
the whole naval aspect of the world
east and west, had changed. Within
the past thirteen years new navies had
sprung up. RUSS had recently suffered
great losses, but the feet of japan had
come into existence; America and Ger
many had evolved navies of equal
strength and efficiency while the great
French navy had maintained it's eff
cheney. Great Britain was not fcrc-
ing the pace in shtpbuilding. but was
merely taking into account what other
nations were doing and two and pos
sibly three-pOwer standard must be
maintained The British navy stood
close between their manhood and con-
scription.

cut off by the abrupt departure from
