THE ili0RNiNG GUARDIAN

THE DARDANELLES DIFFICULTY

The war in the Crimea, begun illty

years ago, in which iron-clad sbips were uncd for the first time very successfully at the siege of Kinburn, was terminated by the fall of Ssbastopul and [the peace trusty of Pells March, 1356. Th xt trcsty akected to settle some things that would not stay settled. it was decreed that Sehastopsl should not be again fortified; that the Black Sea should be neutralized;

its waters and its purte thro 'rn open to the mercantile vuerine oi every nation and “perpetually iotcrdicted to the flax of war of the powers possessing its coasts, or of any other power." Russia subsequ- ently noliiisd the powers that she refused

to be bound by these terms, fortified Sebastcpol and made it absolutely lm- prcgnahie. fortltlod other cities and ports ` on the Black Sea, built a powerful fleet in the same waters and has practically made ofthe Black Sea "a Russian Lake."

treaty of Paris, exceedingly galllng to Russia, against which for half a century she has ohafed in vain. Itie called the Derdanellcs clause, and runs as follows

ills Maieety the Sultan, on the ae

part, declares that he le firmly resolved to maintain forthe future the principle in variahly established as the ancient rule of his empire,and in virtue of which it has at all times been prohibited for the ships of war of foreign Powers to enter the Straits ofthe Dardanellss and ofthe Buspborus and that so long as the Porte is at peace

His Mejes'y will admit no foreign ship of war into the said straits. And their

Mnjeetics (the sovereigns of the contrnct- ing parties), on the other part, engage to respect this determination of the Sultan and conform themselves to the principle abeve declared."

The situation now finds Russia with

perhaps one third of her entire naval force locked upin the Black Sea. That force may be at once greatly needed in the far east, but how ie it to reach that distant destination! The Sultan of Turkey holds

the Dardauclles. Britain, France, Prussia, (now Germany) Austria and Italy are bound with Turkey to prevent the passage of war-ships between the trcwning forts that sentinel the`Dar» danellee and the Bosphorue. A short time since the press reports stated that Russia had applied to the Sultan for per- mission to take the Black Sea fleet out into the Mediterranean.

By the terms of the treaty of Paris it`

may be doubted whether the Sultan alone, without the consent of the ether

signatory powers, could give the re~ Qllil'9d permission. There has been

much speculation in that regard. Since the press report above alluded to Great Britain has olcially intimated to the powers concerned that she has no reason to suspect Russia of any design tosend warships through the Dardsnelles. This is read as a mild intimation that Britain

will insist that the ships shall not pass. Of course Russia ia hound equally with

the other signatory powers not to attempt the passage, but we have seen how she

has set at naught other equally important

and binding cfauses of the treaty, and

we remember the maxim, “Necessity

RUSSO JAPANESE WAR BEGUN

The dospatchee of yesterday tell that

Japan has precipitated the war by an at tack of her torpedo liotilla upon the Russian fleet near Port Arthur. This ac cords with the forecast given in these columns to the edcct that war has been inevitable all along and that the clash o arms might follow swiftly upon the withdrawal of the Japanese Minisier from St. Petersburg, which took place on Saturday last.. Our readers were also lcd to expect that Japan and not Russia would strike the lret blow. Russia

rouzhtto gain time hy prolonging the negotiations, wbilc it was clearly to Japan'e interest to commence hostilities bcfere the Russian reinforcements now

hastouiug eastward by sea and land could reach the scene of conlict.

It hee also been intimated in these

eeiumas, that while there has been a con- dlent expectation of a nen- oral engagement between the two hostile ilsets early in the war, it might be the Ruasaiail Wiley to evade a naval hattls and keep the fleet under shelter of the forts at Port Arthur and Yiadlv-

oatock. Our reason for this supposition was that the Russian fleet in the east is

divided, the hulk of it being at Port Arthur while three or more powerful

shipaarcat Vladivoatock, more thana thousand miles distant tn sailing dis-

tanee. To bring the two squadrons to- gether would involve the ciruuuinavi- lation of the Korean peninsula, travers- ing the Komen Straits, which would be a perilous undertaking. The Japanese Admiral, with full command of the strait just named, as well as the Yellow Sea will doubtless use his utmost etfortsto

prevent the Russian squadrons effecting a junction, and to overwhelm each in turn by superior force.

The drst accounts of the naval lghting

at Port Arthur come by way of St.Peters-

hurg and are confusing and contradictory ltmaybe some days before the actual results are known. lf the Russian fire'

ly censored despatohee which em snate hom St. Petersburg would conceal the laotae hr as possible It seems clear that the Japanese have won the flretround
