"WAR" OPERATIONS IN THE CHINA SEA.
According to the service" papers there were some interesting "war" operations in the neighbourhood of Hongkong in the month of torch. On the 10th the cruisers Talbot and Eclipse left Hongkong and kept company until moon on the 11th. At that hour "war" was declared betweon. Franos, as represented by these two ships, with Saigns as a base; and Britain, as represented by the cruiser Argonaut with Hongkong as a base. The Talbot and Eslipes were commeres destroyers, and, parting company at noon on the 11th, the Eclips took station to intercept all commerce between Manila and Singapore and Hongkong, and the Talbot between Shanghai and the North and Hongkong. "Curfirst captars" (saye the writer) was the P. and O. Valeite, with the homeward going mails from Shanghai and Japan, sud after escorting her for 1 hours she became a capture. We passed the Argonaut, but having disguised ourselves were not chased.

"Of course there is nothing extraordinary about these demands, which merely secure Russia's interests in Manchuria, where we acquired un- doubted rights after the events of 1900. Ent neither the English nor the Japanese, to judge by the newspaper extracts, are willing to rackon with these rights, and thus immediately the Russian domande became known in Paking the representatives of Great Britain and Japan strongly urged Prince Ching to make a protect and to demand in his turn that the position of Manchuris should be made the same as it was before 1000..

We are able to doolars on the basis of in formation received from the most trustworthy sources that Russia has not presented any kind of ultimatum whatever to the Chinoso Govern ment and, moreover, has not demanded from China the signature of a new agreement with regard to Manchuria as a condition of car venation of that country. The statements of Renter's Agency and the telegram of the Peking Correspondent of the Times are pure fabrications."
In the House of Lords on May 1st, the Marquis of Lansdowne spoke as follows:---I may perhaps supplement by a few words the statement which I made in reply to ford Spencer last night upon the subject of the the Russian Ambassador, to whom I bad addressed an enquiry upon the subject, a vorbal statement to the following effect: The informa tion which has reached the British Government as to the conditions required for the evacuation The of Manchuria is not at all correct. discussions which are proceeding at Peking concern Manchuris alone, and have reference to certain guarantees which are indispensable for securing the most important Russian interests in the province after the withdrawal of this Russian troops.
