WASHINGTON. Inne "a.

WASHINGTON, June 12. =
 The sudden collapse of the ap-
 parently overwhelmingly victor
 ious westward march of the Russian armies into Prussia and across the Carpathian noun tains into Hungary, and the se- were reverses which they suffer- ed since the return tide that fol- lowed their capture of Pzemy- sl were directly attributable to the Chinese and Japanese crisis according to information which has reached diplomatic circles here.
 Since the beginning of the war Japan has furnished Russia with the bulk Of her war mater ials, but when she appeared on the verge of war with China, she shut off these supplies. Ap- peals were made to Japan toI loosen the embargo, and pres sure to that end was brought up- on her by her allies, so it is now understood that ammunition, rifles, cannon and other supplies are pouring into Russia over the Transiberian railroad in such quantities that Russia will not again find her armies in the field unprepared to give battle. These shipments began moving as soon as Japan became satis- fed that there was no longer of war with China.
