It was by their special request. Only petty officers end crews were supplanted by new men."

COSSACKS CHARGING THE ENEMY.

COMBINE AGAINST JAPAN AND AMERICA IS URGED Russian Newspaper Thinks the United States Is Europe's Greatest Enemy. SENSATIONAL EDITORIAL

ST. PETERSBURG, March CO. The Novoe Vremya to-day executed a faceabout, strongly supporting the idea of a Russo-Drltish understanding, in . an editorial entitled "The Blindness of England," in which the paper argues that the success of Japan would be more Injurious to Great Britain than to 'any other European, and points to the United States as the common rival of both. It describes Japan as "America's sharpshooters," and says: "Remember what nation, in the person of the commander of one of Its men-of-war at Chemulpo, refused to join lnthe collective protest of the other foreign commanders before the Japanese destroyed the Variag and the Korietz. Remember whose flag alone among all did not take on board the crews of our perishing ships. To the honor of England, the ally of Japan, it was not her representative, but the commander of an American ship. "The Americans wish to convert the Paciflc into an" American Mediterranean. AVonld . that be to the advantage of England? Does England not understand In her blind policy and hatred toward Russia that she is turning this ocean into an American Mediterranean? Sooner or later the European countries will recognize that America Is their mutual enemy. Why should not Russia and England, in view of their possessions outside of Europe, combine? Some one will do England a great service by warning her of the economical and perhaps political Sedan which will be effected by the Japanese and Americans. Russian and Enellsh interests do not clash.

KRUGERSDORP, March CO. General Delarey, the" former Boer commander, addressing a congress of farmers to-day, said he regretted the forthcoming representation of scenes from the Boer war at the St. Louis exposition, which,, he said, would be a shameful production. General Delarey said ho wished to bring to the notice of the world the fact that the Boers had abandoned all thoughts of vindlctiveness toward Great Britain, and that it was now their privilege to work in peace. NICARAGUA TROOPS ARE BEING REARMED

HAVANA, March CO. The Nicaraguan government steamer Ometepe sailed for Bluefields to-day with 5,000 Remington rifles purchased from a Spanish hardware house here. The Cuban government, in response to the solicitation of the Nicaraguan government for the purpose of purchase, had suspended the recent requirement that al! arms in quantities stored in Havana must be taken to the fortress of Cabanas. Senor Ramon Echarreta, Nicaraguan consul at New Orleans, who negotiated the purchase, said to-day to the Associated less: "Nicaragua has just purchased 21,0u0 rifles and 4,000,000 rounds of ammunition from Spain aud expects to buy more." The consul said that Nicaragua was rearming its troops, but that this did not bode any fear of a revolution. NEGROES FLEE FROM SECTIONS OF TEXAS

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) measures as Russia may care, to take at Nieu-Chwang, which is clearly within the sphere of operations as laid down in her reply to Secretary Hay's note. Manchuria also being excepted by the other powers in their replies. Russia considers that she is acting entirely within her riKhts. In this connection rt is pointed out that Japan in her reply to Secretary Hay agreed to observe the neutrality of China so far as Russia did. Inasmuch as Russia has publicly declared her intention not to extend the war west of the Liao river into the portion of Manchuria previously evacuated by her, a Japanese landing on the west coast of the Liao-Tung gulf would make her responsible for nn extension of the war Into the Chinese territory which Russia considers neutral.

CENSORSHIP IN FAR EAST IS MORE STRICT

LONDON, March SI. The Daily Telegraph says the Japanese authorities have refused correspondents the use of the field telegraph lines and that all dispatches must be sent to Tokio by mail. The paper further says that there is no sign that any foreigners will be permitted to go to the front, though the native newspaper men will be allowed to do so. The Dally Telegraph, in an editorial on the unprecedented severity of this censorship, suggests that Japan has some new and important move to conceal, possibly the re-embarkation of a portion of her forces already in Korea for some other point in the theater of war, and is anxious to guard against the possibility of leakage through foreign correspondents, who might sympathize with Russia. A correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Seoul reports that the Russians are evacuating the positions they occupy in Korea. Specials from Shanghai repeat the rumor that the Mikado will shortly proceed to Korea with the headquarters staff. The Seoul correspondent of the Daily Mail describes Korea outside the districts occupied by the Japanese, as being in a state of anarchy and in readiness for rebellion. The correspondent asserts that the censorship prevents any reference to local disturbances. There is no further news of any kind concerning the progress of hostilities. WILL GO TO FRONT - WITH THE RUSSIANS

ST. PETERSBURG, March CO.-Captain William V. Judson, of the engineer corps, IT. S. A., and Lieutenant Newton A. McCully, the United States naval attache, will proceed to the front on Friday.

Both the American officers speak in the highest terms of the kindness accorded them here. Upon invitation, they both visited Cronstadt and inspected the ships building at the new admiralty and Baltic works. General Kuropatkin Is now at Liao-Yang. Vice Admiral Togo's report upon his failure to bottle up 1'ort Arthur creates considerable amusement here. The Novo Krae, of Port Arthur, which has just arrived here, quotes General Linevltch as making the following statement of the war correspondents: "The censorship at first, through ignorance or inexperience on the part of the censor, is apt to act like a sledgehammer instead of a sifter, but that will change in time. Correspondents should find a help and not a hindrance in the censor." The Grand Duke Michael, heir presumptive to the throne, has sent a rescript of thanks to the thirteen-year-old Count Mordvinoff, who subscribed $12,500 to the navy fund. The dowager Empress has telegraphed to Viceroy Alexieff asking for the names of the killed, wounded and missing in order that she may look after their families. COASTING STEAMER SUNK BY RUSSIANS

Responding to the protest Baron Komura, minister of foreign afTairs, informed the French minister that the Japanese government had received no report from Vice Admiral Togo concerning the destruction of the quarantine station, but whether the station had been destroyed or not, the article of The Hague convention quoted related only to land battles, the convention having left the question of naval bombardments unsettle!.

Doubtless he has a fine and eloquent style, but ho has uttered multitudinous absurdities." Referring to Carlyle, Herbert Spencer says that "He either could not or would not think coherently."

jority of Eighty on a Test Ballot:

ATTACK ON PELLATAN

PARIS. March 30. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the campaign of the opposition against M. Pellatan, minister of marine, failed to shake the position of the government, which obtained a majority of eighty on a test vote. After Deputy Lockroy, radical Republican, had concluded the bitter attack which he began yesterday on the present administration of naval affairs, Minister Pellatan replied In his own defense, denying the charges made against his ministry and maintaining that the French navy, in both ships and personnel, was at present in a state of efficiency. Premier Combes wound up the debate by declaring that the government accepted the resolution proposed by the members of the majority for the appointment of an extra parliamentary commission to examine the condition of the navy, and yet, owing to the intensity of party feeling in the Chamber, it was Impossible to accept a parliamentary commission. He raid he desired an investigation which would satisfy all unprejudiced persons and. therefore, made the motion a question of confidence. The premier pledged that all documents which would in no way compromise the national defenses would be communicated to the commission which would be appointed without delay. The motion was carried by a vote of 313 to 23S, thus indicating that there will be no change in the Cabinet as a result of the campaign against the Ministry of Marine.
