ON THE VERGE OF WAR BALTIMORE
VAPAN BECOMES WEARY OF DE«
LAY AND RECALLS HER
I
MINISTER TO RUSSIA.
NO DECLARATION OF HOSTILI
TIES LIKELY, BUT INVASION
I OF KOREA PLANNED!
BREAK IN DIPLOMATIC NEGOTIA­
TIONS WILL BE FOLLOWED
BY DECISIVE ACTION.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 8.—Count
Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minis
ter. has officially informed the Russian
representatives abroad that Japan has
decided to break off negotiations with
Russia and to withdraw the minister
and the whole Japanese legation staff
from St. Petersburg.
The Russian foreign minister there
upon ordered the Russian minister,
Baron de Rosen, and his staff to leave
Tokio!
The Official Messenger publishes
the following circular telegram dated
Feb. 6, which has been, sent out by
the Russian foreign minister to the
representatives of the Russian gov
ern rueut abroad:
"Acting under the instructions from
his government, the Japanese minis
ter at the imperial court has present
ed a note which informs the imperial
government of the decision of Japan
to break off further negotiations and
recall her minister and the entire
staff at the Japanese legation.
"In consequence of this his im
perial majesty has been pleased to
order that the Russian minister at
Tokio with the whole staff of the im
perial mission shall leave the capital
of Japan without delay. Such an at
titude on the part of the Tokio gov
ernment, which has hot even awaited
the arrival of the answer of the im
perial government, which was sent off
during the past few days, throws the
whole responsibility for the conse
quences which may arise from a rup
ture of diplomatic negotiations be
tween the two empires on Japan."
The Russian representatives at Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rome and
at Washington have notified those
governments of Japan's action 'and
place the onus for the strained situa
tion upon the island empire.
Although Japan may land troops in
Korea at once, it not improbable that
actual fighting may be delayed for
some time.
QUICK ACTION PROBABLE.
Withdrawal of Ministers to Be Follow
ed by War.
Tokio, Feb. 8.—The severance of
diplomatic relations between Russia
and Japan appears to be only a step
towards war, although when the min
isters of Russia and Japan withdraw
from their respective posts quick and
decisive action is expected. When
Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura
on Saturday notified Baron de Rosen,
the Russian minister, of Japan's de
termination to sever diplomatic rela
tions, he is reported to have declared
to him that Japan is tired of Russia's
delays, evasions and insincerity and
has decided to take independent action
for the conservation of Japan's Orient
al interests.
Japan's repeated requests for an Im
mediate answer were treated in a
most unsatisfactory manner. Japan
waited until convinced that it was use
less to wait longer and ended the dis
cussion.
The indications are that there will
be no formal declaration of war.
Japan will publicly define:its position
and purpose and the foreign office has
prepared a news statement which prob
ably will be issued today.
Japan will unquestionably seize
Korea at once and although Russia
has previously intimated that it would
not interfere, in view of that coun
try's present attitude, developments
are eagerly awaited.
Baron de Rosen, the Russian min
ister, has arranged to depart from To
tio Friday next, direct for St. Peters
lurg with his family, the secretaries
and attaches of the Russian legation
and a number of priests of the Russian
church.
The Austro-Hungarian minister, H.
Dambro, will assume charge of the
Russian interests and take charge of
the legation property.
Baron de Rosen is said to be se
riously disappointed and dispirited
over the outcome of the negotiations.
The government preliminary esti
mate places the amount of money
which it is possible to raise by the
sale of war bonds at 500,000,000 yen,
and is much gratified at the financial
prospect.
JAPAN VERY MODERATE.
Demands of the Island Empire Will
Astonish the World.
London, Feb. 8—The Times as
serts that the Japanese demands were
of a moderation that will astonish the
world when they are disclosed. Japan
did not even ask Russia to promise to
move a single soldier from Manchu
ria or to renounce a single right in
Manchuria.
The Dally Graphic, dealing with this
•ame subject, asserts that the original
draft of the treaty submitted to Rus
sia was dra w& up by Baron Komura
In consultation with Baron de Rosen.
Telegrams from Tokio announce
that an emergency council of minis
ters was held Sunday and that Mar
quis Ito and" Field Marshal Oyama had
an audience with, the emperor.
The Tokio correspondent of the
Standard reports the utmost activity

rapidly conveying troops to ports of
embarkation. The people are calm

BY' DISASTROUS FIRE.
ESTIMATED LOSS. VARIES FROM
FI^TY TO TWO HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS.
HELP SENT FROM SURROUNDING
CITIES BUT THEIR EFFORTS
PROVE OF NO AVAIL.
Baltimore, Feb. S.—The most de
structive conflagration in the historj
of Baltimore occurred here Sunday,
raging practically unchecked during
many hours, completely destroying
scores of the largest business houses
in the wholesale district, involving
losses which cannot yet be estimated
as the fire was still burning fiercely at
5 a. m. Owing to the wide ex
tent of the calamity it will be some
time before even an approximate esti
mate can be made, though it is certain
that it has already exceeded $50,000,
000 and it is even placed at as high as
$200,000,000.
The fire broke out shortly before 11
o'clock Sunday morning in the whole
sale drygoods store of John E. Hurst
6 Co. on Hopkins Place, in the heart
of the business district, with a series
of loud explosions which were heard
in remote parts of the city, and the
fire spread with fearful rapidity.
In a half hour there were a dozen
big warehouses in the wholesale,
drygoods and notions district burning
fiercely. The entire city fire depart
ment was called out, but was utterly
powerless to check thte spread of the
flames, which were aided by high
winds, and by noon there were savage
fires in at least thirty big warehouses,
and the conflagration was steadily
eating its way into successive blocks
east, north, west and south.
Could Not Check Flames.
Building after building fell a prey
to the flames and there was no check
to the onward sweep of the flames,
which destroyed almost all of the
large stores and warehouses in the
wholesale district around Hopkins
Place and all the buildings on both
sides of Baltimore street from Howard
to Holliday street, from Charles and
Baltimore to Charles and Lexington
and on Fayette street from Charles tc
Holliday, including a total of aboui
twenty-four blocks of the most mod
ern and substantial buildings in Bal
timore involving an enormous loss.
Darkness came at 6 o'clock and foi
hours afterward the fire department,
although aided by engines from Wash
ington, Philadelphia, Wilmington and
the surrounding suburbs, was utterly
powerless to,make any effective re
sistance to the ^consuming element,
though for hours as many of 400
streams of water were thrown intc
the flames.
Indeed so terrific was the heat from
the time the fire started and so den$e
and suffocating the volume* of flying
sparks and burning cinders that it was
difficult for the firemen to stand long
within fighting distance of the flames,
while early in the afternoon severai
trucks and engines were hopelessly
disabled ^by timbers.
Cyclone of Flames.
Following the destruction of the
palatial commercial buildings in the
wholesale district, the cyclone of
flames burst into Baltimore street,
licking up within a few minutes the
seven-story Mullins hotel like some
insatiate monster and rapidly rolling
with irresistible force both eastward
and westward, cutting down wholesale
and retail houses, factories, shops,
jewelry stores, furniture emporiums
and restaurants.
The remorseless tide swept on down
Baltimore street, but also turned into
Charles street, where it quickly en
gulfed the eleven-story Union Trust
building, starting eastward on Fay
ette street.
Shortly therefater the Cincinnati
Trust company, a fourteen-story build
ing, took fire. A block below the
American Newspaper building was en
veloped in clouds of sparks and burn
ing splinters and the employes were
ordered out.
The corps of. Associated Press opera
tors were twice burned out during the
night.
For many hours the pyrotechnic dis
play was magnificent and imposing
beyond the power of painter to de
pict.
At midnight vast columns of seeth
ing flames were shooting skyward* at
varying points of the compass and the
firmament was one vast prismatic
ocean of golden and silver hued
sparks.
Other Cities Send Assistance.
New York, Philadelphia and other
cities have sent firemen here to assist
the weary firemen of this city.
About 550 buildings. have been de
stroyed 6,000 firms wiped out forty
persons injured but nobody killed, so
Jfar as, known.
The burned area is three-quarters
of a mile long and from two to eight
blocks wide.
A number of engftie'"companies ar
rived. at 5 o'clock and began to throw
streams of water upon the burning
buildings, several of which have been
dynamited to prevent the spread of
the flames. The city is practically
under martial law, the Fourth and
Fifth regiments, Maryland militia, to
gether with a company of regular ar
tillerymen from Fort McHenry, rein
forcing the local police force to keep
the crowds in check.
On South Charles street are several
large tobacco warehouses of the Mary
land Tobacco company and if these
are reached it is not known where the
fire will end.. Large lumber yards are
being destroyed along the west side of
Jones Falls, over which the flames
are threatening to leap into the heart
of Bast Baltimore toward the foreign
quarters and. Canton. On that side of
the falls the people are removing
their effects and rushing eastward.
One hundred and fifty polipemen
from Philadelphia arrived here to as
sist the Baltimore police and military.

REVIEWS PAST EVENTS.
Tokio Government Telia Why Nego
tiations Were Ended.
Tokio, Feb. 9.—Last night the for
eign office issued a review of „th,e ne
gotiations with Russia leading up to
the rupture of diplomatic relations.
The review says the last reply from
Russia was received at Tokio Jan. 6.
kin this reply Russia did not mention
the question of the territorial in
tegrity of China in Manchuria, on
Which Japan had asked for an as
surance and that Russia insisted that
Japan recognize Manchuria and its
littoral as outside her sphere of in-,
terest and. also maintained her de
mands regarding a neutral zone in
Korean territory and the non-employ
ment by Japan of Korean territory for
strategical purposes.. The statement
concludes that the Japanese govern
ment has been throughout actuated by'
principles of moderation, impartiality
and has demanded?of the Russian gov
ernment-no more than the recognition
of the principle which has been re
peatedly voluntarily announced by
Russia herself. While the Russian
government persistently refused to ac
cede thereto, and while unduly delay
ing on the one hand their replies
whenever they had to make one, had
on the other hand augmented their
military, and naval preparations. In
fact, a large Russian force was on the
Korean frontier. The Japanese gov
ernment, while animated with a sin
cere desire for peace, had been ex
ercising the utmost degree of patience
but was reluctantly compelled by the
action of Russia to give up all hppes
of reconciliation and break off their
negotiations.
ON BEHALF OF THE POPE.
Monsignore Lorenzelli Offers Japan
Mediation.
Paris, Feb. 9.—Monsignore Loren
zelli, the papal nuncio, acting on or
ders from Rome, requested an inter
view of M. Montono, the Japanese
minister, Monday afternoon. The
meeting lasted for a quarter of an
hour, but nothing concerning it has
been given out officially. There is
reason to believe, however, that Mon
signore Lorenzelli offered Japan the
mediation of the pope, if it were not
too late to settle the conflict without
a declaration of war and bloodshed.
It is said that M. Montono promised to
telegraph this offer to his government
at once.
CHINESE COURT SCARED.
Fears That Russia Will Descend Up
on Peking.
London, Feb. 9.—In a dispatch from
Tientsin a correspondent there of the
Standard says a Russian force is re
ported at Kalgan, in Pechili province,
110 miles northwest of Peking and
near the great wall, and that prepara
tions are being made for the flight of
the Chinese court and the removal of
the imperial treasure, as it is feared
that Russia will descend upon Peking.
A detachment of Russian troops has
arrived at Peking, bringing the lega
tion guard of Russia up to its full
strength.
.GERMANY TO BE NEUTRAL.
Desires That Further Complications
.^Be Avoided.
Berlin, Feb. 9.—The Cologne Ga
zette defines Germany's policy in East
Asia in an article which is evidently
inspired as follows:
"We must direct our attention to
seeing that further complications do
not arise from this quarrel and that
the regions in China adjacent to the
theater of war are not drawn into the
outbreak. We can best subserve this
purpose by a policy which will leave
no doubt of our fullest neutrality."
