London, Dec. 30.--Although nothing authoritative is known of the terms of the notes exchanged between Japan and Russia, the Mirror claims to sup- 'ply information on the subject of Japan's demand. 1t says that Japan invited Russia to give a material guarantee of her honest intentions in regard to Corea, by reducing hgr fleet in the far cast by one-half, and de- clared that if this was refused, there must be war. A despatch to the Times from Seb- astopol reports the hurried departure of Grand Duke Alexander Michelovitch for St. Petersburg, which, the corres- pondent says, is much commented up- on in naval circles, the grand duke the naval councils of the empire. A Times Tokio special says: An im- perial ordinance issued to-day guaran- tees six per cent on the loan of 10,- 000,000 yen for the Seoul-Fusan rail way, and grants 2,000,000 yen for the work within the com- high council of war under the presi- dency of the emperor, having for its object the securing of the efficient and rapid co-operation of the army and navy. The personnel of the council in- cludes the chiefs of the naval and | military headquarters' staff, the min- | isters of war and marine, and other high offiers selected by the sovereign.

Diplomacy is terri- fied as to what will happen in China if there is war between Russia and Ja- pan.

Their best generals are eager to | engage the enemy in Manchuria, but | the real key to the seriousness of the i | -A special cable ew York Herald situation is in the question, will there be further terrible outbreaks against foreigners in China ? Or in the equally dangerous problem, what steps will Germany and France take if disturb ances break out ?
