PRECAUTIONARY MOVE
(Sydney Sun Cable.)
TOKIO, sth February. . Acting on information of which the public are ignorant, the Admiralty ordered 300 marines on board the cruiser Tenryu to proceed to Sasebo, and, with four destroyers, there hold themselves in readiness to go on to Shanghai at the shortest notice. Japanese correspondents in China are sending gloomy reports of the situation, both in Pekin and Hankow.
The Navy Department reports a probable schism in the Cantonese ranks, with extremists taking control. Other reports state that agitators are flocking to Shanghai to precipitate trouble.
