BAROII DE ROSEN SAYS

fAHTEO PEACE Former Russian Minister to Japan Discusses Recent Events at Tokio. WAR PARTY TOO STRONG PARIS. March 22. Baron De Rosen, former Russian minister to Japan, who arrived to-day at Marseilles, refused to be Interviewed, but a correspondent of the Journal who traveled with him from Port Said telegraphs a summary of numerous conversations which he had with the baron aboard the vessel. According to this correspondent Bron De Rosen said that since October, last, the talk of war had been universal in Japan, the Chauvenist party heating public opinion by stating that Japan would beat Russia as she had beaten China arid would be suro Of the support of Great Rrltaln and the United States. The Mikado and most of the older statesmen were opposed to the war, the baron asserted, and Count Inouye said that the country would be ruined whether victor or vanquished. Count Matsukata. another of the older statesmen, expressed the same view nnd Baron Komura, the Japanese foreign minister, advised the continuance of friendly negotiations, but the ministers of war and marine were absolutely determined to fight. If the matter rested solely with the . Cabinet and elder statesmen, said the . baron , to the correspondent, the conflict would have been avoided. The baron does nbt believe that defeat will cause a revolution in Japan, but he says it will result in endless changes in the Cabinet. EARTHQUAKE SHAKES ALL NEW ENGLAND BOSTON. March 21.

These ships have become known as the RUSSIANS FEAR CHINA Will TAKEPABT 1 WAD Government Believes Big Land . Victory Is All That Will Stop Chinese. PLAN TO AVOID BATTLE ST: PETERSBURG, March 21. In government circles there exists a strong belief that the question as to Whether China will observe her neutrality , undertakings will depend largely on the result of the first heavy land fighting. A big victory by tho Russian army, it is believed, will insure the quiescence of the Celestial - empire, but there are grave fears as to what might happen In the event of a signal Japanese success in the early stages cf tho land operations For the time being the situation appears to be satisfactory, and it certainly i3 much better than it was three weeks ago. The Peking government has reiterated its proferslons regarding neutrality to Paul Lesser, the Russian minister, and has given him fair assurances in answer to His representations regarding the number of Chinese troops north of tho great wall. The natives manifest a friendlier disposition than they did at the beginning of the war, but tho Russians know the Oriental character as no other Europeans do. .They understand how deep-seated is the hatred for foreigners in China and the only prestige for the Russians is their strong, arm. Tho recent naval success of the Japanese has not greatly impressed the Chinese, but if the Russians should sustain a really disastrous defeat on land the Chinese might suddenly be uroused, whether with the connivance or even with the consent of tho Japanese, against Russia and perhaps all foreigners. . v Russia's political plans are based on the appreciation of the supreme importance of tho first land battle, and no righting on a large scale will take place if it possibly can be avoided until the Russians feel morally certain that they can deal the enemy a crushing blow. The Novoe Vremya published prominently a Paris dispatch declaring It Is believed there that a triple alliance between Japan. China and Korea has been formed, which was the real object of the Marquis Ito's visit to Seoul. The Foreign Office gives an absolute denial to the statement telegraphed from here that Korea is regarded as belligerent. Russia, as previously explained, holds all tho acts of Korea since the declaration of her neutrality as coming under Japanese duress, and unless the Korean government formally notifies the powers that she has joined with Japan and takes up arms Russia will consider her neutral. Rut any Korean troops which actually impede Russian movements or join the enemy will be considered individual belligerents without reference to their nationality. The statement that the Russian minister at Peking has demanded the withdrawal of all Chinese troops north of the great wall Is also incorrect. As cabled. Russia has made representations about tho number of Chinese troops in the neutral zone, west of the Llao river, not desiring a force there which would constitute a threat, and it is understood that China has given measureably satisfactory assurances on the subject. Official advices report the concentration of armed Mongolians disguised as pilgrims at Van Kuren, south of Lake Baikal, and a few miles from the Russian frontier. BELIEVE CHINA WILL BE DRAWN INTO WAR PARIS, March 21. Foreign Minister Delcasse has received a copy of Secretary Hay's dispatch from United States Minister Conger at Peking containing China's assurances of the unprovocatlvc action to be taken by her against either of the belligerents. The; authorities hero have no doubt that China is ready to give assurances, but they consider that the conditions on the Manchurian frontier 'arc somewhat at variance with the assurances. It is held that ncral Kuropatkin's plans for a defensive campaign have given unusual importance to China's activity. If the Russians had taken the aggressive near the coast, it is said the war probably would have been short and decisive, but as General Kuropatkin's campaign Is based upon awaiting the enemy at Harbin and Mukden, It is held that this completely changes the military situation, requiring the Japanese to pour inland, thus giving up their strong naval support. As . their land forces are comparatively limited for an invasion of Manchuria, it is the belief in high quarters here that they will increasingly feel the need of auxiliaries. It is not believed that Japan will openly seek the aid of China, but that China will gradually be drawn in by General Kuropatkin's tactics of remaining on the defensive in the interior of Manchuria. TURKS LIKE THEIR NEW AMERICAN-BUILT SHIP Will Order Another Cruiser Similar to the Abdul Med j id Constructed by Cramps. PARIS. March 21. A semi-official letter from Constantinople says the Turkish government is pleased with the cruiser Abdul Medjid, constructed ut Philadelphia, and has ordered a second vessel of the same type, to cost .(. The letter adds that this is part of the activity displayed in all branches of the military aud naval services, with the view to preparing for all eventualities, including all foreign and internal complications. The cruler Abdul Hamid, sister ship of the Abdul Medjid, on the point of being completed by the Armstrongs, at Ellswitk. England, will arrive at Constantinople in May. Another similar cruiser has Just reached Constantinople from Genoa. Italy. Three-fourths of the order of a million Mauser rifk-s for Turkey hive beeu delivered. ST. THOMAS, D. W. I.. March 21. The Turkish crutner Abdul Medjid. built by the Cramps, arrived here yesterday from Norfolk, Va.. and exchanged salutes with the shore batteries.

OFFICER GIVES ACCOUNT OF BATTLE Description of the Bombardment of Port Arthur Received at St. Petersburg. LOSS NOT MENTIONED ST. PETERSBURG, March 21. A Russian officer, commanding a battery on Electric hill during a bombardment of Port Arthur, has written the following vivid account: 'It was a clear sunlit day and there was a gentle swell on the water. A little spot appeared through the haze on the far horizon, and then another and another until these spots were increased to fifteen. Nearer and nearer they came, and larger and larger they appeared until, when six miles off, there was a tiny puff of smoke, and all in the battery wondered where the projectile was going to fall. "Twenty fathoms below the cliff where we were lay the battleship Peresviet. Bang! A shell burst under her bows, splashing the decks with spray. There, was another puff, and' a projectile whizzed overhead, crashing In a rock behind us. Then came a third. It was a moment of terrible suspense. There was a terrible explosion over our head. They had got our range exactly. "It was the signal for us to open fire, and ten Shore batteries and twelve warships joined in the reply. "What followed is' almost indescribable. The sea underneath where we stood fairly boiled with the swish and piunge of projectiles, and words of command were ,inaudible to the gunners. I tried vainly to shout my orders while 150 guns were belching In a prolonged roar and shells were bursting overhead with a hellish crash. The smoke and dust blinded us. "I did not experience excitement, and only that my tooth began to ache, there was a strange sensation of contentment amidst the scenes of death, which had no terrors after the first shell had exploded. Suddenly a white-faced gunner pointed to a battery of quick-firing guns half-way down the hill, which had been placed there to prevent a Japanese landing. I ran down and found the scene of the wildest. There was a battle orgy of bursting shells and whistling fragments, tho smoke stench reeking the earth. "One shell had burst among the gunners. A soldier was lying disemboweled and another had his skull crushed. A third soldier was delirious, and there were splinters in his head. One gun had been broken like a reed. "It was a dreadful sight, with blood everywhere." In concluding the narrative the officer says: "After the battle ws over Lieutenant General Stoessel, commander at Port Arthur, pinned the cross of St. George on my breast. But what does it matter I am in the hospital." The foregoing probably refers to the first bombardment of Port Arthur, as the narrative says that the Russians had twelve ships in action. HAWAIIAN PRINCE BORN AT HONOLULU HONOLULU, March 13, (via San Francisco, March 21.) A son was born on March 10 to the Prince and Princess David Kawananakoa. The boy is the first male heir of the Kalakaua line to be born for many years, and if the monarchy was still in existence, he would be heir apparent to the Hawaiian throne. Edwin Morgan, who has been appointed United States consul to Dalny, is in Honolulu. He is waiting news or instructions as to how and wren he shall proceed to his post under the present conditions in the far East. Andrew Brown, for eleven years superintendent of the Honolulu water works, has resigned at Governor Carter's request, as a result of developments following the alleged embezzlement of money of the department by E. V. Richardson, chief clerk. The latter is under a $3,00 bond. FRENCH AGAIN FROWN ON PREMIER COMBES PARIS, March 21.-In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the government again met with a slight reverse. During the discussion of the religious - education bill; after the adoption of the clause providing for the extinction of the teaching congregations by the suppression of novitiates, Georges Leygues, Radical Republican, moved an amendment excepting from the operation of the clause such novitiates as were intended to provide teaching staffs for schools aboard, either In the French colonies or the French protectorates. Before a vote was taken on M. Leygues's amendment there was a clamorous demand (or a statement of the position of the government regarding the question, but Premier Combes refused to reply, whereupon the amendment was carried by a vote of 2S3 to 272.

RUSSIAN

TELLS OF FIRST MAN DEFEAT Officer of Steamship Saw Czar's . Wrecked Vessels After Attack on Port Arthur. RUSE OF THE JAPANESE TACOMA, Wash., March 21. A description of the first attack on the Russian fleet at Port Arthur and the dash made into the inner harbor hy the Japanese torpedo boats is given in a letter to the Tacoma News from Purser Fairwcather, of the steamship Pleiades, which had arrived at Port Arthur with a cargo of flour a few days before the attack was made. Ho says: "We arrived at Port Arthur Feb. 7. The Russian fleet, consisting of fourteen battleships and cruisers, were all lying outside the mouth of the harbor. We got a berth Just outside the spit which forms one side of the entrance. "Monday night about 11 o'clock we heard heavy firing which continued until about 12:30 a. m. Everyone thought the forts were engaged In some kind of night target practice, but in the morning when we saw two of the largest and best of the Russian warships aground on the spit we knew that something more than practice had been going on. "It developed that a fleet of Japanese torpedo boats had come along quite close in shore flying the Russian flag and giving the Russian signal. They had passed right under the forts on the spit side of the harbor and had passed by the patrol boat at the entrance, giving the countersign. They passed. through the entrance to the harbor, turned around and passed out, going up to the other coast until directly behind the largest and best of the warships lying outside, when they turned and fired their torpedoes into three of them. The remarkable part of it was the dash of the torpedo boats through the l0-yard wide mouth of the harbor and their turning around inside. "Tho Russians fired upon the torpedo boats, but apparently did no harm. They then attempted to get their warships into the harbcr, but two of the worst disabled ran aground on tho spit and were in a sinking condition. "The next morning at 11 o'clock the Japanese fleet moved into firing distance and fired shells for forty-five minutes. The Pleiades was behind the spit, but in direct line, and shells fell around us. Our deck was covered with pieces. Later the Russians got their grounded warships off the spit and inside the harbor, where they now He on the bottom. By working hard they succeeded in bringing in a ttve-funneled cruiser, which sank In the harbor the next day. We had great difficulty in getting away. We were obliged to take 300 Chinese women away with us." RUSSIAN OFFICERS NOT ON THEIR WARSHIPS SAX FRANCISCO, March 21. C. H. Browning, a British army officer, who was in Port Arthur during the first attack and bombardment by the Japanese fleet, was a passenger on the Coptic, which arrived from the Orient to-day. In an interview, ho said: "The story is true that half of the Rustlan officers were in town during the attack. There was some sort of entertainment in Port Arthur that night. There were great stacks of flour, coal and hay stored in the city and many soldiers were constantly parading the streets. There was no way of telling how large a force the Russians have at Port Arthur. No one is allowed to approach the forts. I left Port Arthur on Feb. 12." STREET-CAR COMPANY CHANGES ITS RULES Cleveland Citizens Must Pay More Fare and Be Satisfied with One Transfer. CLEVELAND, O., March 21. Beginning at midnight to-night (he Cleveland Electric Railway Company will abandon the sale of six tickets for 25 cents and sell not more than eleven ror 50 cents.

IS IN PERIL BECAUSE THE PRESS Henry Norman Says Intemperate Denunciation of Russia Makes Host of Enemies. OBJECT OF -THE WAR NEW YORK, March 21. Under the title of "The War and After," Henry Norman, M. P., discusses the probable after effects of the Russo-Japanese war in the forthcoming number of World's Work. He says that it is most important that one fact should be clearly realized, "that it is a fight for the control of China. - Korea and Manchuria arc subordinary and indirect issues. The real object is predominant influence iu Peking, bringing with it the ultimate domination of the far East and in the future the headship of all the Asiatic races." He points out the probability of war in the near East . and England's- peril from such an event, and says: "Already the flames of hostility to England are visible almost everywhere in Europe a manifestation which is not at all surprising in view of the language . of so much of the London press. From the highest to lowest moderation of language. respect for the feelings of other nations and a sense of responsibility appear to have vanished from many newspaper offices. Denunciation of Russia is as extravagant as adulation of Japan is exaggerated, and both are making England a host of fresh enemies every week. For all this a day of reckoning will surely come, for the passion roused against England will have reached its climax when if this hap pens itussia nas practically evacuated Manchuria, and Japan, unable to continue a ruinous struggle of indefinite duration; requests the powers to recognlre the re trocession of Manchuria to China- and to decree the end of the war. Then England is likely to learn the result or her Asiatic alliance, for it is the universal conviction that it was the Anglo-Japanese treaty which rendered war in the far East both possible and probable. "In conclusion I will venture upon one prophesy; namely, that the result of this war will be for Russia a blessing in dis guise, rne policy or expansion everywhere, at any cost, and by any method. whethr of arms or of d:p;omacy, together with its autnor and holders will be dis credited. The kanker at the heart of Rus sia the corruption of her bureaucracywin be cut out. "The statesmen who desire to curtail military expenditure and encourage Rus slan production and commerce will come back to power. The Czar will brush aside opposition to the Ideals of humanity and peace mat ne cnensnes. DEPORTED MEN WILL MARCH ON TELLURIDE Union Miners Expelled by Citi zens Will Return with Armed Escort. DENVER. March 21. The committee representing the miners expelled from Tulluride by an organization of business men has abandoned the attempt to appeal to the Governor for protection after, trying in vain for three days to obtain an audience with him. The members of the committee have departed for Ouray, where the deported men are making preparations to marcn to xeiiuride, accompanied by an armeu escort provided Dy the miners unions of Ouray, Silverton, Durango and Ophlr. As 1 the citizens who drove the miners out or reiiuride declare that thev will not be permitted to return, a pitched battle may occur if they persist in their purpose. In order td avert further hostili ties, an effort will be made to obtain an in junction from the District Court forbidding any interference with members of the miners' union at Telluride. DENVER, March 21. Governor Peabody to-day declared that he would take stens io prevent ine marcning or armed bodies of men into Tellurlde. "The Constitution and the laws do not permit the mobilizing or marching of armed bodies of men without the sanction of the Governor and I propose to see that it is not done in this case," he said. .

RESIGNS RATHER THAU VOTE AGAII1ST CABINET Member of Parliament Opposes Government's Stand on Chinese Labor Question. ' LIBERAL MOTION LOST LONDON, March 21. In the House? "of Commons to-day the Liberal leader. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, moved his vote of censure, presented March 16, to th effect that "this house disapproves the conduct of his Majesty's government In advising the crown not to disallow the ordinance for the introduction of Chinese labor in tha Transvaal," but his motion was .rejected by a vote of 299 to 212. He declared It was the biggest schema for human dumping since the "middle passage" was abolished. Sir Henry concluded with dissecting the ordinance, laying fpecial stress on the provision that any one harboring a deserting Chinaman would be treated as a receiver of stolen goods. If this did not constitute slavery, he said, tho difference was indistinguishable. Colonial Secretary Littleton, replying, indignantly repelled the allegation that the government was favoring slavery. In the course of the debate of Sir Henry Campbell-Hannerman'8 motion at the night session. Major J hn Edward Scely, who hitherto has been a consistent supporter of the government, said he believed the importation of Chinese labor would render thj Transvaal impossible as a white man's country. He announced that therefore he had to-day tendered his resignation to hU constituents because he did not think it fair that he should vote against the government without giving his constituents a:i opportunity of turning him out if they did not approve of his action. The conclusion of Major Seely's speech was lost amid a tremendous outburst of disapproval from the ministerial side. Premier Balfour, who followed Major Seely, was unable to secure a hearing, the Irish members protesting against the treatment of the major. William Hedmon.l said that Mr. Balfour should have insisted upon a respectful hearing for Major Secly, and when the premier said he had appealed for such a hearing Mr. Redmond withdrew his opposition, and the House quieted down again to listen to Mr. Balfour, who. In opposing the resolution, said it was a question whether the Transvaal should be allowed to go through a grave commercial crisis rather than admit Chinese labor. When the vote was taken the motion was rejected by a majority of 57. In the division thirteen Unionist members, including Winston Churchill, abstained, from voting. Slxty-tlve Nationalist members voted apainst the government, the majority for which was rather larger than any in the recent critical divisions. The result was received with cheers.
