SAYS FLEET HAS SAILED
French Foreign Minister Reports Rus
slams Have Left Kanranh.

Paris, April 21.-Minister Delcasse,
while conversing with a number OF
deputies in the chamber, confirmed the
rumor that the Russian fleet had left
the coast Of Anam this morning.
Acting upon instructions MdtHa ~ from his
Csc minister to France, called upon
Foreign Minister Delcasse yesterday
and submitted representations on be-
half Of Japan concerning the presence
of the Russian second Pacific squadron
in. Kamranh bay. An official com
munication issued after the meeting
says rs: motono. minister ., :1.nan. has TAX
en- steps to call the attention of the min
lister Of foreign affairs to the, reported
presence Of Russian vessels in Kamranh
bay. At the ministry Of foreign affairs
it is stated that Minister Motono's action
does not take the character Of a. formal
protest against alleged violation Of neu-
trality by France relative to the Russian
fleet. The Japanese minister particularly
desired to obtain from the French govern
ment, as he had done before the Baltic
squadron passed Cherbourg and moro re-
Gently when it sojourned off Madagascar,
some formal assurance that France would
continue to observe strict neutrality.
These assurances evidently seemed more
and more Indispensable to Japan as the
Russian fleet approached the coast OF
Indo-China and entered the theater OF
war. "a
The French government has on fire.
quent occasions pointedly affirmed that all
precautions have been taken for the OBJ
servance of neutrality. Special instruc-
lions have been forwarded to Indo China
on the subject. The minister Of foreign
affairs is therefore able to allay the un-
easiness Japan has manifested. which has
not been justified UP to the present by
any specific act.
! Tt remains for Toxic, to which gov.
eminent the French reply was sent to-
night, to say whether the assurances
are considered sufficient.
The opinion prevails here that M
Delcasse's reply is Of nature to avoid
serious complications.
