FACES DF THIBETANS VVURE EXPRESSION OF DEVILDOM SAVAGERY

Outnumbered the Sikhs Six to One and Treated Them with Contempt. DETAILS OF THE FIGHT Desperate Effort by Swordsmen to Slay Colonel MacDonald, of the British Force.

TUNA. Thibet. April 2. The Thibetan general, the whole of his personal escort and five high Lhassa officials were among the hundreds killed In the fighting of March 11 at Guru, Thibet. The small British losses are accounted for by the fact that the Thibetans were so huddled together that the majority were unable either to use their swords or to fire. The swordsmen in the front rank could not reach the Sikhs, who had fixed bayonets, while the men in the middle of the mob could not reach the nemy, but many of them probably killed each other in the mad excitement. The scene recalled old-time fights in cockpits, the grim, determined faces of the Thibetan?, lighted with devildom savagery expressing contempt for' the Sikhs, whom they outnumbered six or seven to one. When .the Lhassa general fired the first shot the Thibetans, with wild shouts, drew their word3. fired their matchlocks, and surged , forward. About a dozen swordsmen made a desperate rush in the direction of Colonel MacDonald and a small knot of officers. Four Thibetans attacked Mr. Candler, the correspondent of the London Daily Mail, . tut Colonel MacDonald seized a rifle and shot down two of them at a few yards and another officer killed the other two, thus aaving Mr. Candler's life. Those of the Thibetans who tried to climb the wall were met with a terrible magazine rifle fire, but they did rot falter, those behind springing over the heaps of dead and continuing the fight until riddled with bullets. When finally the Thibetans retired they tramped back slowly and steadily, though followed by a hall of bullets. A mountain battery was brought into action and tore the retreating lines with shrapnel. A terrible trail of dead and dying marked the line of march. At length the last wounded, limping Thibetan turned the corner, some four hundred yards from the scene of the grim tragedy, where the best of the Thibetan army had perished. The fight will not alter the political aspect J of the British mission to Thibet, which is going to Gyangtse, as has been arranged. Colonel Younghusband has not received any communication since the fight from either Chinese or Thibetan officials. The Thibetan general killed at Curu belonged to one of the most influential families in Lhassa. Among the Identified dead was found the body of the most truculent Lhassa lama, well known to the political officers. All the Thibetan prisoners have now been released. A British force is occupying Curu. where the telegraph line is being extended. The Thibetan wounded were attended by surgeons and men from the British force whose attentions were gratefully received, though without a show of cringing, the , wounded men preserving an attitude of proud Independence. BRITONS DO NOT WANT ANOTHER COSTLY WAR

lONDO.V. April 2. The slaughter of the Thibetans entirely kills such waning Interest as still exist3 here in the JapaneseRussian struggle. The news excites, as a general rule, a feeling of depression, first tecaute the average Englishman scarcely sees t'xat it was necessary, and, secondly, because there Is general apprehension that It may lead to complications with Russia. The last thing the British public wants at the present moment is another war, and what is most dreaded is a rise In the Income tax. Hence the tragic events In Thibet are especially unwelcome at this period. . when the taxpayer 13 nervously waiting to see how he will be called on to pay off the national deficit. The extreme Liberal papers seized on the ilaughter at Guru as one of the worst blots on the history of England. The Dally News declares that no more "wanton or discreditable business has been brewed by our pro-consuls In India since the time of Lord Lytton." Other papers of the same political views describe Colonel ToungEusband's mission as another Jameson raid. The government organs, while expressing the regret felt in official circles that such an event occurred at this moment, reIterate Foreign Secretary Lansdowne's as- . urances to Russia that Great Britain has Do intention of annexing Thibet. The text of those who defend Colonel Younghusband's action is Lord Lansdowne's statement in the House of Lords that all Great PritUn desires is a new convention with the Thibetans and with China as the suzerain power of Thibet. The opposition, however, points out that China has repeatedly protested against the strength of -Uhe escort with which this "political mislion" iß accompanied, and declares that as a matter of fact Great Britain is now at war. not with Thibet, but with China, hereby endangering China's neutrality towards Russia and Japan and risking the peace of the world. This extreme view is ridiculed in official circles, where the case pf Cuba is instanced as a parallel. It Is held in Downing street that Thibet, by refusing trade privileges, returning official letters unopened and not respecting boundary rights, has become as dangerous a neighbor to the Indian empire as Cuba. In her unrest, was to the United States. Much tress is naturally laid on the fact that the regrettable bloodshed was only due at first to a hostile act emanating from the Thibetans, but this defense Is not likely to have much weight in the agitation which the Liberal party doubtless will foster against the motive that prompted the expedition. Lord Curzon of Keddleston, the viceroy of India, is soon likely to share with Lord Milner. the British high commissioner in South Africa, the bitter personal hostility aroused among the opponents of the government by the introduction of Chinese labor in the Transvaal. In the minds of the masses who have shown In the bye elections that they have lost faith in the present government, the slaughter at Guru is likely to be considered as a stain on Lord Carzon's administration. ' which only the defeat of the responsible ministers can 'wipe out. The Indian secretary, Mr. Brodrick. the least popular member of Mr. Bai-

lour's Cabinet, will again De in not water s the minister who must explain to Parliament. Iord Curzcn's recent speech at Calcutta, which the Associated Press St. Peteisburg dispatches say has created so much ' feeling, was not warmly welcome! here, and at the time it was thought he had Indulged in a dangerous wealth of Oriental Imagery suitable for the consumption of native princes, but eminently unfitted for Persual at St. Petersburg and Paris in view of Great Britain's determination not to be Involved in the far Eastern struggle. The government has done everything in its power to belittle and keep quiet its plans In regard to Thibet. Indeed, if the war between Russia and Japan had come earlier U is quite likely the Thibet expedition would have been postponed. Though apf'arently Colonel Younghusband's mission mainly aimed at destroying alleged Russian influences in Thibet, this is not reCarded as vital when compared with the paramount Importance of keeping clear of the Russio-Japanese war. It is not regarded as likely that serious international complications will follow this affaJr, but China s action in the matter will be rather anxiously awaited. The Russian minister at Peking Is not expected to let the incident pass without drawing some comparisons that will scarcely be favorable to British policy toward the Chinese government. Coonel Younghusband has seventy-five Dlle.i more to travel before he reaches yangste where he has been ordered to etop and 'parley before actually demanding entrance into ancient Lhassa. It is possible that he ruay not be permitted to proceed ven to C?y annate, which U 1W miles from

Lhassa. But In any case It can be taken for granted that the government will do everything in its power to prevejit repetition of the bloody scene at Guru. Colonel Younghusband's escort, however. Is prepared for all eventualities, and if the step is considered advisable the force is probably quite strong enough to reach Lhassa. as there has been such control of affairs as might be considered necessary. For this emergency, which scarcely seems likely to arise. General Kitchener, a master of detail and transportation, personally supervised the fitting out of the command of Colonel MacDonald. which is escorting Colonel Younghusband, the political agent of the Indian government.

LORD CURZON'S SPEECH AND THIBETAN DEFEAT ST. PETERSBURG, April 2. The speech of the viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, of Kedleston, March 30. at Calcutta, when he reviewed the last five years of Indian administration and referred to the government's watchful policy, attracts more attention than Colonel McDonald's victory in Thibet. It was considered to have been especially inopportune, Just at a time when English baiting in Russia Is decreasing, as it tend3 to revive animosities, but coming from Lord Curzon the words carry less weight, perhaps, than they would from other quarters, as he is looked upon as having his own special podcy for India, as Cecil Rhodes had for South Africa. The Bourse Gazette, in an editorial entitled "A Voice of India," says: "All of Lord Curzoji's speeches have the fundamental idei. of the 'shadow of Russia' on the Indian frontier. Lord Curzon said: We do not want Thibet, but no other country shall !,ave it.' Lord Dunerin said the same thing about Nepaul, Burmah and Kasmid. British arms have carried death into Thibet, which is part of the Chinese Empire. The purpose is to take Thibet and run a railroad through China, In order to be able to place troops there quickly. We wonder how France, in view of the projected Anglo-French entente, will regard I.ord Curzon's -avowal of the designs cherished on southern Persia and Siam?" The editorial concludes: "The powers having Interests in China will do well to meditate upon these things." The Svet, while acquitting Great Britain of responsibility and declaring that the British government is correctly observing neutrality, expresses astonishment at the speech of Lord Curzon, "whose words ring like a challenge." Official circles view Lord Curzon's speech with equanimity, where, it is said, it will occasion no representations by Russia. So far as the Thibet expedition is concerned, Russia's attitude is one of waiting. For the present no action is even contemplated, and if any protests are made now they will come from China, not from Russia. BRITISH ADVANCE AN ACT OP DIPLOMACY PARIS, April 2. The British advance in Thibet is attracting widespread attention here, the general view being that it is due mainly to Russia's preoccupation in the far East, The officials are inclined to share this opinion. One of the ambassadors said to-day: "It is manifest that Russia's hands being tied gives Great Britain an opportunity to advance in Thibet. As part of the same diplomacy Great Britain is re-establishing friendly relations with France, thus neutralizing any French opposition to the Tlibetan programme." In this connection the ambassador related a conversation with Foreign Minister Delcasse concerning the Fashoda incident. It was pointed out during this conversation that If the incident had occurred while Great Britain's hands had been tied by the Boer war the future of Central Africa would have been entirely different. It was the conclusion of those taking part In the conversation that the time to settle minor scores was during the preoccupation of your adversary elsewhere, and it is the diplomatic view that Great Britain is now adopting that principle and i3 advancing in Thibet while Russia is engaged elsewhere. CLEVELAND CAR LINE TIED UP BY STRIKE CLEVELAND, O., April 2. The entire system of the Cleveland & Southwestern Traction Company was tied up to-day by a strike of motormen and conductors. There are 130 men in the employ of the company and every one obeyed the order to strike. The strike was caused by the refusal of the company to remove General Manager Nieholls, who Is charged with making rules held to be unfair by the men. No cars are running on the line which extends from this city to Norwalk, O. MOVEMENTS OF STEAMERS NEW YORK, April 2.

Minister Bowen is receiving the support of the State Department In making a personal matter of the attack made by one of the Venezuelan newspapers on Herbert W. Bowen, William L. Penfield. of Indiana, and Wayne MacVeagh. The newspaper published an article in which it declared the three men received an enormous sum from the Venezuelan government as fee3 and expenses during the recent arbitration of claims before The Hague. tribunal. Minister Bowen immediately demanded that President Castro discipline the editor responsible for the charges. This President Castro declined to do, but he did give out, over his signature, a statement denying that his government had paid the three attorneys excessive amounts. Bowen is still making a personal matter of the qharges with the Venezuelan government, and the State Department here Is upholding him. Wayne MacVeagh said to-day that there was nothing to be concealed. The financial transactions relating to the arbitration, he said, were all straightforward. "In July of last year," said he, "the United States and Venezuela, at the request of Mr. Bowen, each contributed J4.500 toward the compensation and expenses of the counsel which these governments had commissioned to represent them at The Hague. This sum of $9,000 was placed in the hands of Judge Penfield. He disbursed about $2,500 of it for printing and other expenses in preparing the case, and as it occurred to me that the necessities of my associates might be greater than mine the balance of about $6,500 was, at my suggestion, equally divided between Judge Penfield and Mr. Bowen." As a matter of fact, the State Department says the expenses of both Bowen and Penfield were in excess of the amount set aside. They were detained abroad several months longer than they had expected to stay. NO GOOD REMEDY FOR LABOR TROUBLES Carroll D. Wright Says Law Always Has Failed to Adjust Wages. NEW YORK. April 2. "Law has always failed to adjust wages and its efforts in that direction have done more harm than good. The decalogue Is as good a labor platform as any. In right action or In practical religion we find the highest forms of solution yet offered." This statement was made to-day by Carroll D. Wright In an address on the subject, "Is There a Solution of the Labor Question?" before the League for Political Education. Mr. Wright said that while many remedies for labor troubles have been suggested all have prpved fallible. While favorable to arbitration he could not see that it had been a complete solution of the trouble. Socialism, which he termed the most ambitious remedy offered, he likened to a "great rubber band which may be stretched and stretched until It seerns to compass the whole of society, but finally it reaches the point where the striin is too great and gives way altogether." TO IDENTIFY GIRL WHO CANNOT REMEMBER Young Man on Way to Sec His Supposed Sister at St. Louis. 4 ST. LOUIS. April 2. The girl who cannot remember anything of herself and who Is detained at the hospital under the name of Fannie Von Krese, was told that she is thought to be Mrs. Tina Eberhardt, ot Stapleton, I.

NAVY MAN'S FRIENDS VICTIMS OF A HOAX WASHINGTON, April 2.-Letters received at the Navy Department show that Mrs. William Wallace, of Solvay, N. Y., and her family and friends have been the victims of a cruel hoax. She wrote to the department that she had been Informed that her brother. John Coffey, an enlisted man in the navy, had been sentenced to be shot April 7. and asked for particulars so that she might arrange for the interment of his remains. There was no foundation whatever for the report and the woman has been so Informed by Secretary Moody. Jehn Coffey is a coal passer on the battleship Maine at Pensacola, but so far as known at the department he has done nothing to require his trial by court-martial, much less his punishment in any way.

Ms. WHIM HELD FOR ALLEGED LAND FRAUD IN OREGON Mrs. Watson Is Arrested at Chicago After Chase Across Continent. CHICAGO. April 2. Mrs. Emma L. Watson, of Tortland, Ore., was arrested to-day by officers of the federal secret service on a charge of being implicated in land swindles in Oregon. According to the officials the government has been defrauded out of thousands of dollars by the operations of a gang of swindlers. Mrs. Watson, who is alleged to be also known as Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Puter, was arrested after being traced from the Pacliic coitst to Chicago. It is charged that she was aided in her efforts to elude capture by S. A. 1). Puter, an alleged member of the gang, who was indicted by the federal grand jury at Tortland, Ore., in April. 1903, along with Mrs. Watson, Marie Ware and Horace S. McKinley. The hearing of the case was continued until Monday, the prisoner being held under $7,500 bond. WASHINGTON, April 2. The Interior Department has received an official dispatch from Portland. Ore., saying that the grand jury there will report sixteen indictments In connection with the land frauds which have been under consideration for some months. The frauds, it is claimed, were committed under the lien land law and the timber and Ftone act. The arrest at Chicago of Mrs. Emma L. Watson, of Portland. Ore., for alleged implication in the sweeping land frauds In Oregon is said here to be one of the most important moves that has yet been made as the result of that investigation. The Interior Department has been trying to locate Mrs. Watson for months, and the secret service followed numerous clews In making the search that ended successfully to-day. It is alleged that she brought parties to Oregon o locate on lands in contravention of the laws, that she represented a number of people in these transactions, and that she had figured conspicuously in numerous land deals. ARTIST STEELE FAVORS MURAL DECORATION Mr. T. C. Steele, the artist, who has just returned from New York and Philadelphia, where he served on the national jurv for the selection of paintings for the St. Louis fair, was asked his opinion as to the advisability of providing for mural decoration in some of the rooms of the new Indianapolis federal building, a subject which was discussed in last Sunday's Journal by several well-known gentlemen. Mr. Steele, who met many artists and saw many pictures during his absence, saj-s the tendency to mural decoration is very strong. He said: "Many of our best painters are now giving most or all of their time o it. There will be a great many designs ior mural work at St. Louis. I was fortunite in seeing some of the best work that has been done In NewYork, notably the decorations of the Mendelssohn Music Hall, by Robert Blum, and the decorations of the New Amsterdam Theater by Robert Rlum and A. R. Wenzen. Roth of these are marvelously beautiful works, and fill the conditions of mural work probably to as great a degree as any that has been done in our country, much more so than some of the work that h;is been done on the Congressional library and the Roston public library. It would be a very great thing if a start for this kind of art could be made in the new Federal building."

LOS ANGELES SEEKS TO KEEP CONVENTION California City Wants to. Entertain Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 2. The proposal of the gTand officers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers to change the place of meeting of the sixth biennial convention of the order from Los Angeles to Cleveland, O., has led the local committee of arrangements to seek the assistance of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association of this city in its efforts to prevent a change. The secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association has received a telegram from Assistant Grand Chief Ingraham stating that the proposal to change the place of meeting will be held in abeyance until May 6. In the meantime the local committee of arrangements is negotiating with passenger traffic managers of Western roads for a reduced round trip rate from Chicago, and has received assurances from the general passenger agents of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroads that the $G0 rate fixed for the Methodist general conference will be extended from May 1 to May 8. The convention is expected to open May 11, and an extension of time In which the reduced rate will apply would greatly benefit the delegates and remove the last objection to Los Angeles as the place of meeting.
