GAINS BY THE DISPUTE
A Better Feeling Between France and
Germany Produced.
COMPLETE AGREEMENT IS EXPECTED.
Through the Hrehsnre Of Notes Germany
Has Been Advised Of the Anglo.Freneh
and Anslo.spsnIsh understanding Affect
Ing Morocco Suspicious on Both Sides
Have Been Removed.

Paris (By Cable) The Franco
German complications have been so tar
overcome that a complete agreement is
considered only matter OF time. The
Improvement in the situation was fur
ther manifested in official and diplo-
matte quarters, and the Bourse again
showed a marked advance in rentes and
a general frmness throughout. The
nervous public sentiment has entirely
disappeared and there is no further talk
of the possibility OF a rupture with Ger
many
The officials say that the negotiations
now are largely question OF iormali-
ties and the framing Of an understand
ing within the limits of the two notes
and the attendant conversations already
exchanged.
Therefore, it is not likely that France
will send another note, as her position
was fully defined in the first communi-
cation to which Germany has fully re-
Piled The tone of these notes clearly
indicates that the final understanding
will be ON the basis OF holding a con-
ference.
The officials call attention to the fact
that Premier Rouvier's first note did not
decline conference, but on the con-
trary accepted ii in principle, seeking
only to have its limits defined. While
Germany has not been disposed to de-
fine the limits yet, verbal exchanges
have entirely removed the apprehensions
which officials previously entertained
concerning ulterior designs behind the
conference.
Thus the sharp diplomatic controversy
has had the effect OF producing a better
general state of feeling between France
and Germany, as the preceding relations
had been more or less a matter OF sus-
picion on both sides for the past two
years 1t is considered a notable gain
for France that during the negotiations
Germany has been fully advised con-
cerning the Anglo French and Anglo
Spanish understanding affecting Moroc-
co and had not directly dissented there
from. although contendng that they do
not affect her position
While not acquiscng in them. she has
not openly brought them into question.
This is regarded as materially strength
ening the French position. The German
officials say an accord has practically
been completed, as there only remains
to decide the wording and go through
the protocolar formalities.

Japanese Advance on yludivostok.

St. Petersburg (By Cable).-Advices
have reached the general staff of the
withdrawal from Vladivostok OF three
regiments OF tirailleours and cavalry
and artillery to the number of 1900
men, This is part OF rearward con-
centration necessitated by the, advance
OF General Kasewaga's sixth Japanese
army across Korea from the Tumen
River.
General Kasewaga's force has devel-
oped unexpected strength, numbering
over 100000 men, although the vanguard
numbers only 5000. The knowledge that
the enemy is so strong in the secondary
seat OF war has spread hopeless feel
ing among the staff in regard to COM
ing operations. 1t is convinced now that
Field Marshal Oyama has a greater
preponderance over General Linevitch
than he ever had over General Kurop-
atkin.
An intelligence officer remarked that
the Japanese had hitherto adhered to the
principle OF concentrating all their forces
on the main points, disregarding the
possibilities of secondary expeditions
like Saghalien or Kamschatka. The most
serious feature OF inc present SltudtlOli
is that the Japanese are able to spare
General Kasewaga's powerful army from
the chief seat Of war in Manchuria.
The military critic OF the Russki Vie
domosti urges Russia to seek an early
peace He says that maintaining a de-
fensive war on the Russian frontier
would be hopeless expedcnt, yet such
war is being widely urged by iniuen-
tial representatives of the ruling bureau
cracy Such tactics of exhaustion could
only be effective if Russia's means were
limitless and Japan were unable to trans
fer the war TO Russian territory. Such
conditions are cmphatically wanting.

Mutiuy Spreads ln Black Sea Fleet

St. Petersburg (By Cable).-A dis
patch arrived here from Sebastopol an
nounced that a squadron of battleships,
the Tri Sviatitelia, Sinope and Rostis-
Law. with a cruiser and several torpedo
boats, started for Odessa at 8 o'clock
p NJ.
This explains the nonappearance OF
the squadron at Odessa, but it is diff
cult to conjecture the reasons for de-
laying departure two days at such
critical juncture. 1t is feared that there
has been mutiny on other ships OF the
fleet Reports are in circulation that the
mutineers control several of the largest
ships.
It is reported that the volunteer feet
cruiser Sara,of has been burned at
Odessa.
Admiral Kruger's orders are to sum-
mon the Kniaz Potemkin to surrender,
and, upon her refusal, to sink her, after
which he is to assist in restoring order
in the town.
1t is doubted, however, whether his
orders can be carried out, Even the
officials here admit that it is question
able if Admiral Kruger's men will fire
on their comrades, and discuss the pos
sibility of their joining the mutiny.
Should they do so, and should an or
ganized force cooperate with the riot
ers, there is every likelihood Of a part
at least OF the troops joining them.
There is an unconhrmed report that
trouble similar to that at Libau has
broken out at Reval. The ministry Of
marine politely refuses to give the least
information concerning the troubles at
those places or at Odessa, but official
circles, especially the department Of po-
lice believe that the outbreaks were
planned by revolutionists, and are mani
iestly alarmed
Their alarm is shared by the higher
social circles Of the capital, where the
long established faith in the unhinching
loyalty OF the Emperor's armed forces is
beginning to waver, bringing inevitable
dread that the revolution so often de-
clared to be impossible has already be-
gun il is unquestionable that the oc-
currences at Odessa and Libau have
more deeply impressed the ruling classes
here than all the defeats in Manchuria,
and the destruction OF the navy com
bined
The city is filed with stories Of disaf-
fection and sedition among the troops,
even the guard regiments, il is reported,
say they will never again fire upon the
people The Cossacks alone, according
to these reports, are absolutely reliable
That dissatisfaction and discomfort
among the soldiers is widespread adj
mits Of little doubt. Up to the present
time there IS no reason to believe that
the vast bulk Of the army is not loyal.
What the effect would be Of several reg
iments going over TO the rioters is, how
ever, problematical Certainly a crisis
has been reached.
