Military Activity Kur Increasing Ba
the Soldiers Farewell.
ST. PETERS BL'RCl, Feb. 20,-The ciar,
according to those who have access to his
presence, feels keenly the outbreak of hos
tilities and sorrows at tha burdena tha war
entalla Since the bombardment of Port
Arthur he has nth appeared In public. His
majesty's sole recreation now consists In a
morning saunter In the garden adjoining
tha palace. The ground Is covered with
snow, but still he walks about, invariably
accompanied by five Samoyed dogs, which
are trained to march In single file behind
him.
When hla majeaty addressed some troops
av few days ago and admonlahed them In
these worda, "Remember, your enemy Is
brave, bold and cunning," he could not dis
guise hla emotion, and hla voice shook very
rauch. He la grieved over what ha consld-'

'Military activity Is proceeding on an ever
Incretetng scale and all Is In readiness for
tha mobilisation of the entire Russian army
hould that become necessary. In a fort
night 1(10,000 additional troops will be In
Manchuria. Three army corps of Siberian
rifles have already been organised and a
fourth soon will be completed. Thera Is
also a brigade of Cossack artillery, armed
with excellent mountain guns.
.Although tho Japanese seem to be making
Port Arthur one of their main objectives,
military men here do not believe that they

But when Russia peaceably occupies Man

ESGLA3D HAS SO AITREHRSSIOS
Thinks that Trouble Will Be Conflned
to Powers Sow Flighting;.
IONDON. Feb. 20. Count Benckendorff,
the Russian ambassador, left today for
St. Petersburg. The afternoon papers made
a sensation out of his departure, connect
ing It with rumors that the cxar was dis
pleased with hla ambassadors at Washing
ton and London, and with his late minister
at Tokto, owing to the recent turn of
events and out of baseless rumors of
threatening European trouble.
The Russian embassy said positively that
Count Benckendorff has gone to St. Peters
burg for three days to bid farewell to his
son, who Is going to the far east with hie
regiment. The embassy added that the
umbassadnr's Journey waa In no way con
nected with his position as ambassador.
The Foreign office here confirms this.
The uneasiness exhibited on the continent
In reference to the possibility that a
European war may result from the strug
gle In the far east la not shared by Great
Britain. No power has made auch naval
preparation for every contingency, and yet
nowhere la confidence greater that the
hostilities may be . nonftned to Russia and
Japan than it la In London.,
The naval and military preparations an
nounced from continental capitals are re
garded here aa being morn common sense
measures which any power nvjst adopt.
It la also thought, that the lull
In the actual war news has led many
European com spondents to employ their
spare time In exaggerating the continental
action ao d In applying such steps as have
been actually taken to erroneous moves.
The latest of these, that Great Britain In
tends to seise Spanish points In the event
of war, haa not even the semblance of
probability.
The Associated press learns that at the
present moment Spain end Great Brltlan
are on the verge of concluding an
arbitration treaty and that in other ways
their diplomatic relatione are cloeer thvt
they have been for yea re past.
At the Spsnlsh embassy here It was em
phatically declared that the movements of
Spanish troope were simply precautions
that all nations must teke when one of
the great power la Involved ?n war.
At tha Foreign office end at the Bpanlsh
emoaesy the belief Is entertained that no
other European power will be Involved,
least of all Spain, which haa no direct or
Indirect stake.
"All the rumors," the Foreign office said,
"that European, complications are in eight
are quite baseless."

RlSIA BARRIER TO YELLOW PERIL.
Preaa Assert Arms Will Accomplish
More Than America's Diplomacy.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. . The Vledo
mostl publishes an editorial article on the
pride shown In Great Britain and the
United State In the pro-Japanese sym
pathies and asks what these will ultimately
cost the "cultured west." Answering this
question, the paper says:
Aside from the question of the "yellow
perl)" it is hopeless blindness not to see
that Russia stands as a barrier between
the approaching rising of Asia and old, de
generate Europo, and to desire that this
barrier be ewept away Is absolute imbe
cility. It Is claimed that Japan represents
progress and civilisation. The same thing
was aald In 18M about Piuesla, and it was
not suspected that the success of Prussian
arms would be a continual source of alarm
and only ended when the Franco-Russian
alliance re-established the political balance
of Europe.
One may bow down to the cultured ad
vance of Japan, but It -brings to western
nation the Idea of endless wars. The far
east is now an arena of European compe
tition. What China will do In a week or
in months, when Its war position Is more
clearly defined, and lta neutrality gained
by tho powers on the American receipt, la
one of those Actions which Europe Is so
us?d to paying for with a most expensive
armed peace. Russian vlctorle will pro
tect the west from the horror America I
trying to keep off by diplomacy. For Ru
Bla this heuvy cross Is its glory.
The report that Count Casslnl, Russian
amDuasador at Washington, Is to be re
called, Is absolutely unwarranted.
