RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
A Large Force Under Orders For
the Far East is Now
' on the Way. '
THE JAPANESE ARE FOR PEACE,
Source of the. Dispatch From Shang
hai Saying Japan Will Declare
War is Suspicious.
A Japanese Minister Sayo Their Rela
tions With Russia Are Cordial and
No Tension Exists Between
the Two Governments.
London, Oct. 13. A dispatch from
Moscow to tho Times, dated October
10, states that a large force of Rus
sian1, troops, under orders for the far
east, 'are now on their way thither by
rail from KharkolT.
Tho Russian correspondents of the
samo paper sends quotations from
newspaper articles pointing to Rus
sia's intention to remain In occupation
of Manchuria and add that it Is re
ported from Vladlvostock that as a re
sult of famine in China, roving bands
of Chinese have crossed Into Manchu
ria, where their presence constitutes
a danger to tho Manchurlan railway
and that this necessitates keeping Rus
sian troops in Southern Manchuria for
an Indefinite period.
Tho peculiar official explanation of
the postponement of the czar's trip to
Rome, "owing to circumstances over
which he has no control," is Interpre
ted In some quarters to mean that the
threatening outlook in far eastern af
fairs calls for the emperor's presence
in Russia.
There is no confirmation of the
alarmist rumors. At the Japanese le
gation Sunday night no news had
been, received of the reported ultima
tum, A dispatch to the Dally Mall from
Kobe, October 12, reports that the sit
uation Is somewhat easier but that tho
tone of the press Is distinctly belli
cose, whilst the same paper's corre
spondent at Oeneva says that several
Russian officers there have been sud
denly recalled to Join their regiments.
Other special dispatches describe
Russian war preparations', etc., and
the newspapers, which are intensely
Interested In the developments owing
to the Anglo-Japanese alliance, are al
ready publishing maps and estimates
of the naval and military forces of the
prospective belligerents and editorial
izing on the possibilities of the situa
tion. The greatest attention Is paid to
the changed tone of -Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister in London, who
is much less confident that peace will
be preserved than he was a week ago.
Inquiries In Japanese banking, ship
ping and commercial houses In Lon
don, however, elicited expressions of
disbelief In the outbreak of war.
Paris, Oct. 13. The Figaro Tuesday
morning publishes an interview wth
M. Kurino, tho Japanese minister
here, on the subject of tho dispatch -to
tho Frankfurter Zeltung'from Shang
hai' to the effect that Japanese have
occupied Ma-San-Pho and that an offi
cial declaration of war is expected.
M. Kurino said tho source of the dis
patch was suspicious, as Shanghai was
notoriously tho originating point of
bogus news. He personally had not
received any confirmation of the re
port. He continued:
"Moreover, my government's last
communications were wholly for
peace. Our diplomatic relations with
Russia are cordial and no tension ex
ists between tho two governments
whatever certain foreign newspapers
may say. I am inclined to think that
the dispatch was d speculative ma
neuver." KI8HINEFF MASSACRE.

who gave the police the story, the old
man committed suicide. Eearl admit

rested as an accessory, but was allow
ed to go. public sentiment generally
being in his favor.

ing liable for $6,000 insurance, which

young Ellsworth had with tho detec
tives, and which was overheard by
witnesses secreted in an adjoining
room, is said to have cleared Ells
worth's mother of the charge of faith
lessness and to have left open to doubt
the statement that tho senior Ells
worth killed himself. It Is said thero
was a conspiracy to obtain tho insur
ance money, Earl Ellsworth and two
prominent citizens of Woodstock be
ing Involved, and that young Ells

helping to avoid impending arrest,
leaves open to gravo question the
statement thai the killing of Anderson
and Mrs. Ellsworth was by the older
Ellsworth.
