JAPANESE LAUDING AN ARMY Russian Does Not Regard Situation Serious Enough for Hostllo Action Talk of China Going to War Re carded as Abaured. ST.

Theso Include the statosmonts that tho Japanoso nro landing nn nrmy nt Ma-Sam-Pho, Coren, and that 3,000 Rus sian troops nro crossing the Yaluo rlvor. Tho reported dispatch of Chi nese nrmy of soldiers trained by Eur opqoan officers beyond tho groat wall to prcsorvo order In Manchuria cannot bo confirmed horo nnd the reports of tho Japancso nt Ma-Sam-Pho nnd tho Russians at tho Yaluo nro discredited nt tho foreign offices horo nnd by M, Kurino, the Japanese minister to Rus sia. M. Hnrtwlg, a departmental chief of of tho Russian foreign office, spoke feelingly to M. Kurino regarding the harm being dono by often utterly base less reports. While tho Russian gov eminent understands tho situation In Corea to bo disturbed and possibly threatening, It has not Information of n situation gravo enough to warrant tho landing of a largo Japanese army there. Russia freely ndmlts Japan's right, under existing conditions, to land In Corea a reasonnblo number of soldiers to proscrvo order, but tho landing of nn nrmy at this stage of tho negotia tions could not be viewed with equanimity. M. Kurino is In no way anxious because or tho delay In Rus sia's response to tho latest .Tnpnneso note nnd says that Japan Is not press ing for nn lmmedlato reply.

If Chlneso troops nro bolng sent north It Is solely for tho purposo of Inspiring confidence In our people, who nro ninrmod nnd who would becomo pnnlc-strlcken In the event of hostilities between Russia and Japan.
