It was to be hoped that, before many months were over an organisation

Quartermaster Martin has heer attached to the Ministry of Marine for the last eighteen months or two years. He failed to giyo satisfaction to the chief of the various Departments under whom he was successive- ly placed, and was about to be sent back to his port when he was attached, to the Third Section of the Naval Staff. In that office, where he was employed in classifying documents concerning the Fleet, the Naval preparations, and the mobilisation, Martin had the best possible opportunity to furnish important confidential information.

THE NEUTRAL POWER.

Article by Herr von Brandt.

In a further article on the War (writes the Vienna correspondent of The Standard), Herr von Brandt, fu merly German Min- istor at Pekin, completely espouses the cause of Japan, which, for a German Diplomatist, is somewhat remarkablo. As regards Japan's alleged violation of Korean neutrality, he says she must be allowed to do in Korea what Russia has done for the last three years in[Manchuria. Ho recom- mends everyone to read the recent English Blue-book, in which, he remarks, 'Russian Diplomacy does not appear in the most favourable light.

The question of Korea and her present relations to Japan has not{for} a single mo- mont been misunderstood either in Vienna or any other capital. It is a matter of course that Korea, ovoɣrun by Japaneso troops and with the capital itself in foreign nccupation, cannot maintain the neutrality she had previously prodaimed. Not being a free agent in any sense of 'ba word, she

cannot be regarded either vs a holligerent

Stater, Germany, France, Italy, &e. That is to say, it cannot suit Russia now to make her war with Japan a European question, which could only be decided at a European Conference at the end of a general contlag-

ration.

It is notice, however, that Admiral exeieff, by making various demands on the Chine which are contrary to her proclaim- od neutrality, is evidently preparing to pick

a quarrel some day, and is dragging China into the conflict with Japan. This consti- tutes, at the present moment, almost the only apprehension of responsible States- men, as it involves the dunger of a general

war.

The Japanese are urgent in their advice

to China to be careful of her neutrality, but

the attitude of China depends on the will

of Russia, or rather on the Russian Vice-

roy in the Far East; and Admiral Alexieff

is credited with the desire of extending

the area of the War, instead of restricting

it to its present limits.

THE CHINA MAIL.

(FROM A RUSSIAN CORRESPONDENT.) There has been a great deal said about some mysterious scheme which the Japan ese are keeping in reserve, a scheme calou. lated to astonish the world. It will hardly astonish the Russians, at any rate, if the scheme be what I have reason to suppose it is, for the Itussians have long ago been warned of the contingency. At the same time, Russia will be utterly unprepared to meet it, nor will any possible efforts, energy, skill, or money now suffice to make her ready. The weakest point in the Russian hold upon her Possessions East of Lake Baikal is her neglect of the opportunities afforded her by the magnificent three thou- sand miles of navigable waters in the River Amur. In the Chinese, or Boxer, outbreak

Intention of the Russian Government tu cut this barrier and divert,the Amur River into the Pacific Ocean near De Castries Bay, so that ships could enter much earlier, and also could avoid the always dangerous navigation of the narrow neck of the Gulf of Tartary, the treacherous straits betwean the mainland and the Island of Sakhalin. The plan was pigeonholed and forgotten. At a generous estimate the solid land to be out through is twenty miles, and the cutting would have been done for itself by the river if once it had been started in that direction."

Russia left this scheme unnoticed, and, in view of the present altuation in the Far East, it is, perhaps, as well for her she did. But is it an impossible task, in these days of Military engineering, to convey light-draught boats over a score of miles of level soil and launch them on the waters of river to which the Mississippi alone is comparable? It would be interesting to hear the views of Naval experts upon the chances of realising such a plan. The data are certainly all to hand in the British Admira'ty, for it is on record that in recent days a British gunboat did onoo go up Khabarovsk, and the geography of the the Amur River as far. I believe,

Indeed the country outside the towns and few Bettlements about the Maritime Province and the Amur Territory is served and guarded so inadequately that it can only the prestige, of Russin seems to be said to be Russian at all in name, and be a decreasing quantity in that part of the world, which is peopled by tribes in every respect allied rather to the Japanese than to the Russians.
