STORY is DOUBTFUL.
RojestVensky Said to Have Passed
Straits of Formosa.


St. Petersburg, April p. 5:53 p. m
The latest word of Admiral RoiestveD-
sky was the dispatch from the agent
Of the finance ministry at Shanghai
saying the squadron had passed
through the Straits Of FOrmOsa. but
the authority given by the agent for
his Statement is considered doubtful.
The admiralty profess a good deal of
Skepticism in regarding all the dis
patches from the far east reporting
the location of Russian vessels, point
ing out that false news is likely to
be set afioat deliberately. The officials
here neither deny nor affirm the report
that ROjestvensky is still al Kamranh
bay
The foreign office displays no anX-
iety as a result of the protests made
by Japan over the alleged violation
OF French neutrality, expressing con-
fidenCe that when all the facts are
known Il viii he found that the Rus
slams did not violate the neutrality of
France. Serious complications are not
anticipated
The reiteratiOn Of the story that the
Russian protected cruiser Askold, in
termed at Shanghai. is taking on coal
and preparing to slip cut is again de-
MED.
Nothing has been heard from the
fourth division Of the Russian squad
ron, commanded by Admiral Neboga-
tOff. Most of the naval men express
the opinion that ROjestvensky will not
await a jUnctuTe with NebOgatoff but
will allow this weaker division to trail
behind him.

WESTERN PACIFIC BUILDER.
Report That General Manager A. c.
Ridgway is the Man.

Hio9Wdy is the MAN.
The following item of railroad news
from the Denver Post has special sig
nificance when considered in the light
of recent developments in relation to
the Western Pacific:
General Manager A. g. Ridgway of
the Denver &, Rio Grande viii go TO
the Western Pacific to take charge
Of the construction work. Such is the
story given out by a Denver q Rio
Grande official.
The Western Pacific is a Gould pro-
ject. The Denver * Rio Grande is
Gould road Ridgway is the best
mountain railroad builder in the cOun-
try. Gould wanted a Skillful man to
engineer the construction of the West
ern Pacific. and as Ridgway is at the
head of his profession the choice nat
uraIIy fell on him. He will continue
as general manager of the Denver &
Rio Grande for some time yet. but is
now familiariZing himself with the
plans Of the Western Pacific.
George Simmons. acting general man
aeer of the MOffat road. will resign
shortly. it is understood, to become
assistant general manager of the Den

When Ridgway goes to the Western
Pacific his place on the Denver & Rio
Grande will be filled by Mr.. simmons
When the work of construction of the
Western Pacific is completed Ridg-

ONE OF THE FEW.
M. DeIcasse Recognized as Brilliant
Diplomatist.


DipIomatist.
Washington, April 21.-Diplomats in
close touch with European chancel-
tories hold the opinion that Morocco,
more than the menace TO French neu-
-trality in the far east. is responsible for
the threatened retirement Of NJ. Del
casse the French minister of foreign
affairs. It is learned that France has
informed Germany that nothing could
have been further from her intentions
than 10 iujuTe German interests in Mo-
rocco. and even has gone so far as to
say that the French position there not
only furnishes a protection TO the COM
merce of other nations. but insures
rather than threatens the integrity of
Morocco and thereby the maintenance
Of the status quo, which was the es-
pecial cause of concern to the Berlin
government So satisfied is Germany,
it is said with the attitude of France,
and so different is that attitude from
what Germany believed, that il is be
Iieved here Berlin and Paris are ap-
preaching complete accord on the sub
ject
European advices Indicate that Ger
many's suspicious were aroused by the
apparent unwilliugness in the past of
the French government to discuss Mo
rocco, even when the subject was di-
rectly brought up- 1t is thought here
that this change in conditions may ac-
count for the fact that NJ. Delcasse has
gone so far as to contemplate retire
ment.
In the diplomatic corps here NJ. Del
casse long has been regarded as one of
the few world-diplomatists of today

COUNSEL CALMNESS.
Japanese Government Not Rushing
to Extremes.


Toxic. April y. D. m.-The Japanese
government continues to maintain ST
lence regarding the Kamranh bay in
cident. and it is understood the diplO-
matte correspondence on the subject is
not concluded. It is expected that
France will formally investigate the
situation at Kamranh bay. In the
meantime the party leaders here are
counsellng the Japanese press to use
greater moderation and calmness and
to await the outcome of the negoti-
atoms.
The assertions in the Paris press that
proofs of the presence of vessels Of the
Russian squadron in Kamranh bay
and of a violation of French neutral
ity are lacking are sharply contra
dicted by the Japanese, who assert that
the evidence on the subject is cOnclU-
sive. They say that after all the ques-
ton of proof rests with France. who
possesses the evidence and whose neu-
trality has been violated.
Premier Katsura and Foreign Min
lister KOmura were received i'm audi
ence by the emperor of Japan to-
day.

Would Strain the Entente.

II was stated at the foreign office
late this afternoon that no representa-
lions Of any kind had been presented
by Great Britain concerning neutrality
At the same time il is anticipated that
some such representations will be made.
The fact that the British ambassador,
Sir Francis BERTHE, has given up his
Easter holiday and viii return to Paris
tonight after conference with Foreign
Secretary LansdOwne. appears to sup
port this view. However. the cordial
relations existing between France and
Great Britain would doubtless modify
any representations so as to relieve
them from serious significance. Any
thing like an energetic protest from
Great Britain at this time would deeply
wound France. who relies on the Anglo
French entente as a counter pOise to
Germanys menaces over Morocco.
