The War...
LONDON, 6th June.
The anxiety in St. Petersburg regarding the situation on the Manchurian frontier is Increasing. Owing to the restlessness of the Chinese troops it is feared that General Ma will lose control over the forces under his command,
LATER.
All correspondents at St. Petersburg unite in affirming that General Kuropatkin has ordered a Southward movement to relieve Port Arthur. Some critics suggest that this uanimity is intentional, and intended to conceal a general retreat Northward, which a strong rear guard is demonstratively covering.
Reported Cossion of the Philip-
pines to Japan.
The report current in St. Petersburg point ing to the eventual cession of the Philip pines to Japan is empathically contradicted in Washington.

Board to this end, and pressing them to allow no considerations of expense to stand in the way of its accomplishment. Even the letter of 6th July, 1899, which Mr. Anderson read to the meeting may be described as a belated echo of the Committee's own communications to the Beard of more than a year before. Why there has been such regrettable delay in making pro- gress has always been most perplexing to the Committee, but much is made clear by the revelation of antagonism to them disclosed in Mr. Anderson's extraordinary speech.

The Admiral said it was true that he had been offered and had accepted the command of the Baltic squadron, but it was less certain that he would ever take that squadron to the Far East. It was not yet decided that it should be dispatched thither. The possibility of its being sent to the Far East had certainly been taken into consideration. It had been resolved that the squadron should be ready by July 15th. Indeed, that was the express command of the Emperor. But even in official circles it had been too hastily concluded that the departure of the squadron for the Far East was a settled thing. That was not the case, for it was impossible to say what might happen be- tween this and the month of July. Who could say that at that moment the squadron waters of would not be required in the the Baltic? Who could assure Russia that there would be no complications in Europe? Besides, according to the Admiral's personal opinion, in September the navy would have nothing more to do in the Far East. Ad- miral Rozhdestvensky went on to explain that at that time the Japanese would have trans-
ported to Korea more cannon, ammunition, and projectiles and provisions in sufficient quantity for a campaign of many months. They had docks to repair the damage done to their ships and it would be puerile in attempt any longer to deny that they were admirably prepared from that point of view. In a word, they were formidable adversaries, against whom the Rus- sians would have to set themselves strenuous

CANTON.
A Canton letter states that, owing to the emptiness of the provincial exchequer of Kwangtung, a number of innovations which Viceroy Tsen is anxious to start in Canton, principally for the benefit of the inhabitants of that city themselves, cannot be started. His Excellency is therefore considering the floating ola People's Loan Fund in Cantos at the rate of 8 4/10 per cent per annum, the bonds to be for Tis, 17 each. The loan is for ten years guaranteed by the revenues obtained by the provincial Government from the Fantan, Weising and other lotteries and gambling institutions licensed by the State in Kwangtung province. To further gain the confidence of investors the Commissioner of Customs at
Canton will be asked to manage the fintation of the loan, and the funds obtained therefrom will he only used for the organisation of a proper city militia and military police; the purchase of modern arms; the construction and repairing of a local railway; the establishment of water- works; and other innovations for the benefit of the people of Canton and the vicinity.-N.

The Japanese, he added, did not hesitate to spend enormous sums for a result which, at first sight, seemed to be little commensurate with the effort made. Such a proceeding on their part proved that they felt certain of being able to renew their stock of ammunition, and that they had trusty friends who would furnish them with all they required. "We shall have a hard task to get the better of them."
In answer to a question as to his opinion respecting the naval tacties of the Japanese, Admiral Rozhdestvensky said that Admiral Togo had acted rightly in attacking Port Arthur and in maintaining his plan in spite of the fact that appearances were entirely against him. "He is sure to be able to get his ships repaired whenever he wishes, to obtain fresh supplies of ammunition-we have ascertained this from a trustworthy source-and in case of need he can speedily change his heavy guns it they should be too much damaged. While he renders our fleet at Port Arthur immobile and
forces it to remain on the defensive he is
inuring his own crews to their work and
customing officers and men to action, where by they are being trained and hardened, while our sailors, unaccustomed to this constant activity in warlike manoeuvres, are irritated and disheartened."

It is at a previous stage that another course ought to have been adopted.
