NAVAL BASE AT CAVITE.
Russ Paper Exploits American Plans
for the Future.

ST PETERSBURG. February 22.-The
Novoe Vremya today devotes one of its
leading articles to the American plans for
the fortificaton of Manila, which it be-
lieves will convert Cavite into the most
powerful naval base on the Pacific and
enable the United States to insist upon
an actual as we'll as a theoretical reaIi-
alton of the open door in Manchuria.
Continuing, the paper says the denial
of the report that it is the present inten-
ton of President Roosevelt to raise this
question merely eXemplities it's conviction
that soft words are i corollary to the
policy of the big stick. When the Ma
Mia works are completed the doors OF
