Russia's Greatest General Starts for the Front Amid Cheers of Multitude.

SCEXES AT THE STATION ST. PETKRSP.1R ;, March 12 General Kuropstkin. accompanied by his entire staff, left here at o'clock this evening in a special train for th" far Fast, where he will take command of t'u Manchurlan army. The d puture of the gene;il was marked by demonstrations of patriotism and personal lagged. Thousands of persons who lined the Hswsky prorpeet and th- approaches to the ajtcholaa Railroad station vied with the highest pen magea in the em pire, int ludirg the principal military ofll- 1 cers, members of t . .n.i 1 council, foreign military attaches, members of tho French embassy ar. i persons prominent in society, who had iiss mblcd Inside the station. In giving vent to expressions of confidence In the new commander who Is to ltad the Emperor's army to victory. Just two?., tde general arrived at the station Grand l)uke NichdftaS WhaMItrftsa Grand Duke Peter Ni olatevitch and the l)uke of Meohlinburg-Strelitz drove up and alighted. Modestly and without the accompaniment of music or escort the general drove to the Station in an open carriage. He was dressed In the fatigue uniform of his rank, but the short, unimposing figure of RusMia's great general was instantly recognized by the populac and his passage down the broad boulevard was followed by a storm of cheers, which grew louder as the crowd grew denser n tr the station. Here the enfkbsiasm broke out into mighty shouts And in spite of the cold the air was filled with hats. The imperial waiting rooms Inside the station were crowded with celebrities, and the staircase leading from the courtyard was lined with a serried mass of uniforms; there were Cossack officers, bestarred generals and distinguished naval men. General Kuropatkln reached the head of the stairs. General Eggresstoff, white haired and trembling with emotion, began to speak. Inside and out there was an instant hush. "I have come to bid you godspeed." said General KggTesstoff. "We all wish you a safe Journey and with God's blessing we shall greet your victorious return. Take this small image of Alexia, your patron saint, and wear it around sour neck and may the Almighty hold you In His keeping." General Kuropatkln knelt reverently and accepted the talisman. His few. heartfelt words of thanks were uttered In so low a tone that they were barely heard ten feet awuy. Thunderous cheers burst forth When the two warriors embraced. General Kuropatkln then stepped forward. He was self-possessed amid the surrounding excitement and walked unaffectedly, greeting all prostat embracing snd kissing old comrades and shaking ! hands with officers. He did not forget the naval and military attaches and had a kind word for every member of the group representing almost all the great armies and navies of the world. Lieutenant t'nmmanier Roy Compbell Smith, naval attach to the American embassy, wore the simple uniform of the United State. The Korean minister to Russia, who was S resent, was Just as enthusiastic as any Russian and seemed to regard General Kuropatkln as the savior of his country. He pushed and struggled to get near enough to shake the general's hands and wish him ( r y s s Several . women could not re.fraln from kissing the hero of the hour. One presented him with a 1 rn- bowpn t of roses. The general seemed not to know what to do with the flowers, so ho handed them ov. r to an army aid. As the bell rang for the departure of the train General Kuropatkln stepped onto tho platform where the crush was worse. Hut the crowd parte-. When he reached the Car step every head was bar' d. The general did not enter the luxurious ear over which the Inscription "lvistern fhlnese Hallway" Indicated a j'-urncy cf 1,000 miles. He remained at the door and waved his last farewell. As the train gathered headway every voice In the vast multitude broke out Into a roar of cheers and blessings. Behind General Kuropatkin stood his sons In cadet uniform, and through the door one caught a glimpse of the salon filled with flowers. Amid the flowers stood the general's wife, who, with his sons, will accompany him as far as Moscow. Earlier In the day a deputation of the Handicraft Guilds presented General Kuropatkin with a gold and diamond mounted aword. WOMAN KILLS HER HUSBAND AND HERSELF LAFKEU Miss.. M ir, h 12.

Member Merchants Association II COSSACK OF THE SEA" IS THE HERO OF THE HOUR Admiral MakarofFs Xanie on the Lip of Every Loyal Russian. DARING NAVAL OFFICER ST. PETERSBURG, March 12.-Admiral Makaroff's name Is on every lip In St. lYteraburg to-day. Ha is the hero of the hour. The details of Thursday's flffhtinß at Port Arthur did not become public until this morning when eager crowds, unmindful of a heavy snowfall, gathered about Viceroy Alexieff's bulletins which were posted at every corner. Tho sorrow over the loss of tho Russian torpedo boat destroyer was swallowed up by the admiration caused by the daring exploit of the Russian naval commander-in-chief in going personally to her rescue. There is a deep-seated conviction here that henceforth there will ba a change of sea tactics and that Admiral Makaroff will make the fleet at Port Arthur an aggressive force. He enjoys the reputation throughout the length and breadth of the Empire of being a dn.hing officer who delights in brilliant achievements, and his action of Thursday adds to his laurels as a bold and fearless fighter who loves to take the chances of vur. His ideas run counter to tho..- generally aecepted by naval ex- : rt? and strategists. One of his pet aversions is armor. The admiral is ever outspoken in his criticism of the heavy battleships, which he has always contended placed too many eggs in a single basket, and shows his partiality for a fleet conii ..! of h large number f swift, unarmored cruisers armed with heavy funs and attended by an unlimited number of torpedo boats. The protected cruiser Novik, to which he transferred his flag in the attempt to rescue the torpedo boat destroyer is practically without armor protection. Admiral Makaroff's predilection for swift ships has earned him the soubriquet of the Vossaok of the Sea." He is not likely to give tho enemy much rest while any of his cruisers or torpedo b ats remain afloat. Something like a night torpedo boat attack on the enemy's base behind the Elliott islands, for Instand-, would be such a thing as the admiral would undertake. He began his career with several gallant exploits during the Turko-Russlan war. while commanding a tdesmer which he had ripfied up as a torpedo bout and played havoc with the Sultan's flotilla in the Black sea and the Dnube.

JAPANESE FIRESHIPS OF Admiral Stark's Report on Recent Attempt to Bottle the Russian Fleet. LETTER FROM A GERMAN ST. PETERSBURG, March 12. Admiral Stark's detailed reports of the attempt to bottle the Russian fleet at Port Arthur eb. 24 and th engagement of Feb. 25, says: "The Japaneso steamers Intended to be sunk In the Fairway were flreships of the deadliest sort, being soaked with petroleum and sprinkled with coal dust. A large quantity of calcium carbide on board the ships prevented the possibility of quen hlng the flames. One of the ships burned for a week. The Russians also were seriously hampered in the pursuit with torpedo boats, owing to fear of floating mines among the wreckage in the roadstead. Charts found on board the hulks showed spots where it had been planned to sink them and also the exact position of the battleship Retvizan. 'In the action of Feb. 25, the cruisers Novik, Bayan and Askold had gone to sea in search of the missing torpedo boat destroyers Bezposhtchadni and Vnushltelnl, sent out the previous evening. The former, during the engagement, managed to run In at full speed, but the Vnushitelnl was cut off by a division of the enemy's cruisers and returned to Plgot bay, where she was followed by the Japanese, flred upon and considerably damaged. The compressed air reservoir of her torpedo magazine was pierced." RUSSIAN OFFICERS WERE ON SHORE LEAVE BERUIN. March 1J.-A letter from a German resident of Port Arthur, dated Feb. 15. was published to-day. The writer described the boundless embltterment of all classes against the Japanese the day after the first night attack, and explains that the Russians were "exercising that evening and the Japanese torpedo boats were taken for Russians." Continuing, the letter says: "The Russian officers shared with the Japanese in the general feeling of indignation here, two-thirds of tho former having- obtained shore leave, some of them calling on Madame Stark, wife of Admiral St irk. to congratulate her, accordiug to the Rasalaa custom, on the anniversary of her name day. while others were at the theater, at their homes or visiting comrades. The officers found by the police sent In search of them reached their ships only after the .la pain .-e had withdrawn. ' The writer of the letter declared that the Japanese would have destroyed the whole squadron If they had attacked that evening with their entire force, as the Russians had not even distributed ammunition to their batteries. The explosion of shells iu the attack the following day smashed the windows in the exposed parts of the city and occasioned much alarm. The majority of the inhabitants passed the eusuing night in the open air. beyond the riiigv of the tire. Prices rose feverishly, bread became unattainable aud cabmeu demanded 13 for a aVoeat ride.

Marvelous A ccuracy Shown by Japs in Firing on Port Arthur

(CONCIAJI ED FROM FIRST PAGE.) few Japanese soldiers remain here. All have gone north and the foreign legations continue to be guarded by marines. The American legation has thirty-live men on duty in the grounds and others are quartered at American business houses for the sake of better accommodations. Foreigners, however, feel perfectly safe although there is more real business activity at Chemulpo. The Japanese authorities treat foreigners very courteously and have Just given American Minister Allen permission to go to the front with a passage on a transport to Chinnampo, where he was expected to arrive today. War preparations continue here methodically, while about 30.000 Koreans pursue their normal, everyday life, free of excitement. Th- funeral of the late Empress dowager will take place on Monday next. AMERICAN CRUISER SEXT TO CHINNAMPO SEOUL, Friday. March 11 (Delayed in Transmission.) The United States ship Cincinnati will leave Chemulpo to-morrow for Chinnampo to bring away the women and children from the American Company's mines at Unsan. The families of American missionaries south of the Yalu are not considered to be in any danger, but every precaution is being taken for their safety. A messenger from the mines at Unsan, who left Chinnampo on Wednesday last, says that everything is quiet in thnt vicinity. Only a few reconnoitering parties of Cossacks are seen north of that point and there are only a few hundred Russians in all south of the Yalu. There is little prospect of any serious conflict in this quarter within the next six weeks. Thus far there has been no trouble at the mines and there is little likelihood that they will be interfered with, loth .sides having given every assurance in that respect. The only possible langer is from straggling parties of pillagers, but from these the miners are in a position to protect themselves, having on hand three Colt guns and an ample supply of rifles. JAPAN'S EXPLOSIVES NOT VERY POISONOUS TOKIO, March 12. The condition of the wounded Russians treated at the Japanese Red Cross Hospital, who do not show any unusual symptoms. ;s thought here to be conclusive evidence that there is no truth in the Russian allegation In regard to the peculiarly poisonous nature of the gaseous exhalations from the Japanese shells and torpedoes. The statement In th Russian .report that the Japanese used lyddite in ths bombardment of Vladivostok is believed to have been made the object of conveying the Imprsa sion that Great Britain supplied this explosive. The report that Russia is sending submarine boats overland to the far East is much commented upon, observers facetiously recalling the Russian Emperor's proposal at The Hague peace conference that the use of suharmiue boats ought to be condemned as being uncivilized. s - - DALXY IS DESOLATE; DESERTED BY PARENTS PARIS. March 12.-Pierr" GirTard, writing to the Matin from Dalny. describes tho country and conditions. Whil? traveling in the north he saw oceans of snow stretching off in every direction, suggesting tho hardships endured during military concentration. South of Mukden the snow had almost disappeared, and the plains were cultivated by Chinese. M. GirTard passed through many miserable, dirty Chinese villages and open stretches of country, which would make superb battlefield. According to the correspondent. Dalny appears to have died before it was fully born, and to have been deserted by its parents. He describes It aa desolate. The leading officers who had been stationed at Dalny had gone northward, snd the inhabitants wer seeking every available means to get away. Much orotestiua- was heard- Ths

prevailing feeling was that Russia should have had more soldiers at Port Arthur and other points on the Llao-Tung peninsula. The actual force there. Mr. Giffard says, was then not more than 20.000 meu. The people felt that this not only did not afford them sufficient protection, but disclosed to the Orientals the inferiority of Russia's military preparations. AMERICA AND FRANCE MAY BE PEACEMAKERS PARIS, March 12. An informal suggestion that France and the United States act jointly as peacemakers in the far Eastern war has been made within the last week, and, although officers hold that any peace overtures would be futile at present, the suggestion leads to the belief in high quarters that France and the United States will become the eventual peacemakers. The suggestion came from an American railroad man. who probably has the largest railroad dealings with Russia of any American. During a recent visit to Paris he called at the American embassy and other official quarters. He strongly urged that France and the United States, by reason of their international friendships toward tho belligerents, were specially qualified to Initiate a peace movement. The suggestion was entirely unofficial and informal, but none the less it was thought that it would prove a germ for official action. No such official action is likely at the present time, as it is the accepted view of the French and American authorities that neither belligerent would listen to any peace overtures. RUSSIAN INFORMATION CONCERNING JAPANESE ST. PETKRSBURt , March 12. A telegram from General Zhilinsky, General Kuropatkin's chief of staff, says that, according to reports published In Korean newspapers, 1,000 Japanese have landed at Ginnampo, Korea, and are marching to Ping-Yang. Five hundred Japanese are said to have landed at Kenseng, on the northeast coast of Korea, and 2,000 Japanese, who reached Kenseng before this detachment of 30U, have started marching along the coast to Sheng-Jiu. Koreans deny emphatically the reports of the landing at Kenseng. All is quiet at Port Arthur and Vladivostok. There are no Japanese troops anywhere in Manchuria and only small patrols of the enemy are to be seen In northern Korea. GUNBOAT HELENA MAY LEAVE HER MUD BERTH WASHINGTON. March 12 It is said here that, while no orders have been issued from the Navy Department to Captain Sawyer, commanding the gunboat Helena, to withdraw from Nieu-t'hwang, it may be that Admiral Evans, commanding the Asiatic station, has given such a direnion. It is, of course, realized that the Helena would be in a very disagreeable position if the port were bombarded, and shf servea no useful purpose In her present berth. There is no disposition to drag in the question of the neutralization of the port of Nieuthwang at this stage, and the withdrawal of the Helena as soon as she is freed of the ice will make toward this purpose.

DELAWARE JAPANESE WAR LOAN IS Application for 436,oxx),ooo Yen Worth of Bonds, but Only ioo,000,000 to Be Issued. MEETING OF CABINET WASHINGTON, March 11 The Japanese minister h're to-day received from his government a cablegram stating that tiSS subscriptions to the loan of HKi.fMMMt y. n exchequer bonds amount now to OJ.000.000 yen. The dispatch further states thai it is expected that when all the reiurns have been received the subscriptions will exceed 5Ü0.0ÜU.000 yen. The small suoseriptions, averaging between ninety-five rai 200 yen, will, the cablegram states, alo.ie amount to 75,000,000 yen ($27.500,000). TOKIO, March 12,-Practically complete figures, with Formosa and some distrh ts of Japan missing, show that the first issu of 100.000,000 yen of exchequer war bonds has been subscribed four and one-half times. The subscriptions recorded by ths Bank of Japan amount to 460,00u.00 yen. This proves the COtTactaaSS of the preliminary estimate that the government would be able to raise 500.000,000 yen for war purposes from domestic sources. The Cabinet and elder statesman conferred for four hours to-day. They discussed the financial situation and the war tax measures to be submitted to the spsetal session of the Diet, and decided to realize $lt, Mi.(ton by postponing ths government undertakings, and $35,000.000 by a war tax. It is understood that a plan extending the government tofcaeco monopoly so as to include manufactured trbacco, "and the ( n ation of a salt monopoly were oonsfclrp d. Cntil recently it was thought Impracticable properly to consider and pass monopoly measures at a short session, and it seemed to have been agre d that they should be left for action to the regular session. Russia's extensive military proyrnmrne, however, makes an extension of Japan's financial programme imperative so tbe monopoly measures possibly may be submitted to the special session of the Diet.

The Japanese wish to afford the correspondents every reasonable facility possible to make them comfortable while campaigning, but recognize the difficulty, owing to ths difference of conditions of living to whlcd foreigners are accustomed.

The War Office has approved thiH scheme and expects all the correspondents to rely on the contractor, but will supply rations in an emergency The contractor also supplies the foreign military attaches. He is bonded to fulfill his agreement.
