port of the loss of the torpedo boat destroyers was true they would have known it. No surprise Is expressed at the Admiralty at the Tokio report of the evidence contained in intercepted Russian dispatches that the Hatsuse was blown up by Russian stationary mines. The cfnclals decline, however, to comment on the subject, except to reiterate their denial of the charge that the Russians used floating or 'driving" mines, which the officials have insisted on fiom the outset. In this connection a naval attache of a great power declares that his government is in possession of the best information to the effect that the Japanese used "driving" mines, bunching them to drift below the surface and thus causing the loss of the Ilusslan battleship I'etropavlovsk. JAPAN'S MAIN OBJECTIVE NOW IS PORT ARTHUR

LIAO-YANG, May 30. The impression at headquarters is growln? that the main objective of the enemy Is Port Arthur and it would not be surprising if the actual assault on that fortress began within a fortnight. No important movement of General Kurokl had been reported up to the time this dispatch was filed. The Russians, it Is reported, have captured a Japanese convoy. '. CHE-FOO. May 308 p. m.From Chinese sources It is learned that the Russians have four lines of defense between Js'an-Shan and Port Arthur. TOKIO, May 30. General Oku, in command of the Japanese forces operating against Port Arthur, reports that the Russians have abandoned Chen-Ko, Chen-Fau, Huang-Shan and I.lu-Shu-Tun. No Russians have been sent east of Cheh-Ko-Chen-Iau General Nakamura's detachment, which occupied L.iu-Shi-Tun on Friday, captured four Russian guns. LONDON, May CO. A dispatch to the Central Nf ws from Tokio to-day after covering the news covered in the dispatches to the Associated Press detailing the fighting on th Kwan-Tung peninsula, adds that the Japanese captured a quantity of powder and fifty-six railroad cara at Llu-Chu-Tung. The dispatch also say that the Japanese, after defeating the Cossacks at Al-Yans-Pien-Men. northeast of Feng-Wang-Cheng, occupied that place and reinforcements were sent forward to support them. 2,000 COSSACKS ARE DBF BATED BY JAPAN BSB TOKIO, May CO.

killed and twenty-eight wounded. The Russian casualties are not known. ST. PETERSBURG. May 30. There is no confirmation at the general staff of the reported defeat of 2,000 Cossacks at Ai-Yang-Pien-Men. northeast of Feng-Wang-Cheng, but a message from General Kuropatkln, issued this afternoon, recording the Japanese advance from Kuan-Dlan-Siang (Kwan-Tien) to Saimatfza lends color to the Tokio report, in view of the fact that Ai-Yang-Pien-Men lies between the above points. Kuropatkln says: "I this morning received a report stating that the Japanese advance on Kwan-Tien has begun from Salmatsza. The numbers of the enemy are not known." The reported defeat of Cossacks was the only news and almost the only topic of conversation in St. Petersburg to-night. No official dispatches were given out this eveuing, hut officers at military headquarters were reluctant to accept the Japanese dispatches. They think it possible that the Japanese met General Mistehenko's command, which has recently been raiding in Korea. It is formed of comparatively raw recruits, though now somewhat hardened by three months' campaigning. It 13 conceivable that they might have been defeated, but not Rennenkampfs men patrolling the Al-Yang region, who are veterans of that old command which accompanied him on the famous ride through Manchuria. The?e men are esteemed here as the hardest riders and the most reckless fighters in the trans-Baikal army. Any disaster to them would have a greater sentimental effect than the most serious reverse at Kln-Chou.

COSSACKS RIDE ALMOST TO THE GA TES OF SEO UL ST. PETERSBURG, May SO. The correspondent of the Russky Invalid (the army organ) with General Mistehenko's division of 5,000 Transbalkal Cossacks sent to Korea to keep in touch with the enemy gives a detailed account of a ride destined to become classic in cavalry annals. The command rode 400 miles in a fortnight. They approached to within a day's march of Seoul and were anxious to capture the town, which would have been an exploit, the correspondent says, to thrill Europe, but imperative orders reached them to retire, and they reluctantly rode back to Wlju. The Associated P.-ess learns that General Mistehenko's division is now eastward of Feng-Wang-Cheng, threatening Kuroki's rear. It is believed here that the men who wanted to capture Seoul are capable of se-. riously hampering the Japanese movement. General Mistehenko's division is independent of General Rennenkampfs, which is row north of Feng-Wang-Cheng. The Cossack raiders into Korea are commanded by Madsitoff. It is understood that the formation of an eighteenth army corps will shortly be announced. The War Office says that many of the guns lost at Kln-Chou were Chinese guns captured during the Boxer uprising. CHINESE JUNKS AGAINCARRYING COCOONS CIIE-FOO, May 31, 10:30 a. m. The Junks with cocoons for the silk mills are arriving from west of the Yalu river. This indicates that with the passing of the armies the Chinese have recommenced their regular occupations. From a Manchuria n merchant it has been learned that the Japanese occupied the Mao-Tien-Ling mountains, 100 miles north of Feng-Wang-Cheng and directly east of Llao-Yang. There is only one pass through the range. MORE TROOPS SAIL FROM A JAPANESE PORT WASHINGTON, May 30. Advices received here report the departure from Japan of another army division. While its destination is not stated it Is conjectured that these troops are about to close in the Russians' rear in northeast Korea, cutting off the raiding parties which have threatened General Kuroki's forces. There are no less than 15.000 soldiers in the expedition. FLINT PUTS UP MONEY FOR CHILEAN CRUISERS SANTIAGO DE CHILE, May 30. Charles R. Flint, of New York, has deposited the value of the cruisers Esmeralda and Chacabuco with the bankers Rothschild In Paris. The report was current in Valparaiso May 11 that Mr. Flint had arranged to pay the Chilean government $5.150,000 for the two cruisers, but that the Congress would have to confirm the sale. Jaimnne Victory Belittled. ST. PETERSBURG, May 30.-A semiofficial telegram from Mukden, dated today, says: "Owing to the impossibility of defending the position southward of KinChou without the aid of the fleet, the Russians defense at that point was only of a demonstrative character. The defending force was armed with guns taken from the Chinese in 1IW0 and had little ammunition. The occupation of the position by the Japanese at a great cost to themselves does not alter the situation." Ouktomiky Not a Traitor. BERLIN, May 30. The correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger at St. Petersburg telegraphs that Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky, who it was reported had been hanged for treason at Port Arthur, Is really now in St. Petersburg. He was recalled suffering from nervous strain. The correspondent says the reports connecting Prince Ouktomsky with treason are without foundation. American Officer at Port Arthur. MUKDEN. May 30. 9:30 p. m. Lieut. Newton A. McCully, U. S. N.f recently naval attache at Tokio, but ordered to observe the Russian fleet operations, is inside the Russian lines at Port Arthur. The other attaches were recently at Llao-Yang. Their present whereabouts is not ascertainable here. FOUR PERSONS CAUGHT UNDER FALLING WALLS Victim Injured in Collapsing Building May Die at New York. NEW YORK, May 30. Four persons were injured to-day, one of them probably fatal ly, in the partial collapse of the old-fash ioned four-story brick building on East Eighth street, which was occupied by a saloon and two small firms of hat manu facturers. The portion of the building which collapsed was the easterly wall, which crumbled the entire height of the building and two-thirds the length of the structure, commencing at the sidewalk. The collapse is supposed to have resulted from undermining the wall on the easterly side, where an excavation is being made for the construction of a large modern building. The injured persons were employes of the hat factories.

Mil EMBROIL CHINA III' WAR flmiTHt RUSSIANS

Japan's Offer to Surrender Part of Manchuria Is Creating Much Interest. ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL "WASHINGTON, May 30. The reported offer of Japan to China to gurrender to her so much of Manchuria aa already has been taken by the Japanese troops i3 viewed here with interest because of the possibility, if the offer is accepted by China, that Russia will hold that the Celestial empire has thereby violated her pledged neutrality, thus affording ground for an attack upon certain parts of Mongolia that would be of great strategic value in the war. Although the State Department has consistently insisted upon recognizing the sovereignty of China over Manchuria, as evidenced by the appointment of consuls under Peking exequaturs to that province, it also has agTeed to admit the existence of a field of war into that section, which field was under Russian control at the outbreak of hostilities. The alternative, said to be presented by Japan, of an administration of the captured territory by an international commission is not likely to meet with much favor in Washington, as the experience of the government in the Boxer uprising and the subsequent difficulties in getting clear of the obligations incurred in conjunction with European nations have not encouraged further concurrent movements of that kind. RUSSIA IS MAKING NO DEAL WITH CHINA ST. PETERSBURG, May SO. The Foreign Office to-day said the announcement made by tha Tien-Tsin correspondent of the Daily Express, of London, that the Russian minister at Peking, M. Lessar, had informed the Chinese government that Russia will finally evacuate Nleu-Chwang provided China grants a concession for a railroad across Chinese Mongolia, and that Russia will evacuate Manchuria outright if China lease: the Hi or Kooldja territory to Russia, wax preposterous. It is pointed out that Russia already owns the greater part of the 111 territory and that threefourths of the course of the river, which empties into Lake Dalkash. flows through Russian territory. The upper waters of the III are of no commercial or strategical importance and the only real value of such an agreement to Russia would be acquisition of the portion of Chinese Central Asia comprising Kashgar and Yarkand. It is impossible to suppose that Russia, while the war is proceeding, is making offers to exchange Manchuria for this region. IS GUEST AT WORLD'S FAIR Japanese Statesman Says His Country Would Listen to Certain Terms of Peace. BT. LOUIS. May 30. Kogoro Takahira, minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary of the Japanese government to the United States, arrived in St. Louis tonight, accompanied by a single secretary. Mr. Takahira was visited by S. Tegina, the Japanese commissioner to the world's fair, and to-morrow he will be received and entertained at the exposition by President Francis. "The people of Japan, as well as Its rulers, believe that we are fighting for the integrity and existence of our nation," said the ambassador in reply to a question. "That belief is as firmly planted in the heart of the private soldier as in the highest official and It may be that that alone has done much for the success of our arms. "It was suggested that there had already been many reports of proposals for mediation by friendly- powers, and especially by this government. If Russia would agree to withdraw from Manchuria and would concent to the things that we asked before the outbreak of hostilities, Japan would undoubtedly listen. But I do not think that anything of that kind is likely to occur Just now. It is too early. Each, as I have said. Is tlll trying to prove its case before the world."

FRAHCO-PAPAL QUARREL DISCUSSED BY ITALIANS Speeches in Chamber of Deputies Vatican Accused of "Brav

ing" and "Bleating. yy VIVAS FOR M. COMBES ROME, May 30. The Chamber of Deputies was crowded to-day to hear the discussion on the interpellation of the attitude of the government towards the Vatican protest against President Loubet's visit. Signor Mazza, Republican, called the move of the papal secretary of state. Merry Del Val. a perfect insult. He recalled that tho Fopo had not protested against the atrocious offenses to religion in France. His Holiness had now risen against a Kins who, according to the Vatican, had stolen the pontifical patrimony, designating his Majesty aa a usurper. The note, therefore, was a declaration of war. Signor Mazza asked the government to take energetic action to prevent the Invasion of the church into the kingdom's affairs. The government had forgotten all pride and the national dignity in answering the Vatican's insult by giving hospitality to Cardinal Swampa whom the King, on Saturday, sent to Bologna. The government permitted the people of .France to defend Italian rights. The Liberals and the extreme parties applauded and the galleries Joined. bignor Guerci, Radical, followed, saying that "this time the Vatican is not protest ing, but bleating." felguor Cabrlns, Socialist, interrupting: Call it braying." Laughter. Fremier Giolitti. who arose amidst a breathless silence, said that the Vatican note naturally was not communicated to the Italian government. France had an swered as she thought best. The affair was one In which Italy could not interfere. The atlcan note contained a phrase regarding the King of Italy, but the effect produced was such that they m;st be extremely glad of the expression of that phfase, as it had offered Premier Combes the opportunity to make a statement so flattering to Italian patriotism. The crowded galleries rose and applauded for five minutes, crying. "Viva Combes." Signor Giolitti continued: "Therefore the unhappy phrase for Italy, the happiest. The note contained the usual protest which the atlcan has been repeating for thirtyfour years. Italy has no reason to change her policy. She does not fear the invasion of the congregations, as she has laws to protect herself. If these laws are insufficient we will make new ones. To fear that the country cannot protect itself against the influences of foreign congregations Is to insult Italians. The church and the state must be as two parallel lines, which never meet. Both must enjoy liberty." It will be worse for the church on the day that she illegally interferes in the affairs of the state." Applause. HEAD OF HOLY GHOST AND US SOCIETY CONVICTED I : Guilty of Manslaughter in Causing Death of Fourteen-Year-Old Boy. FARMINGTON, Me., May SO. Rev. Frank W Sanford, head of the Holy Ghost and Us Society, a religious community at Shiloh, near here, has been convicted of manslaughter in causing the death of Leander Bartlett, fourteen years old. The prosecution brought forth many witnesses to show that he refused to permit outside medical attention being 'given the boy while sick, and practically starved the lad. It was claimed that fasting was one of the tenets of the faith, and It was vigorously upheld in the case of the Bartlett boy. Several witnesses. Including Miss Miller, the society's nurse, testified that Sandford said on the day -the boy died: "If I saw some one In the community laid before me as a corpse it would be a judgment of God." Sandford will be eenteuced later. The maximum penalty Is twenty years. His conviction, it Is thought, will lead to the disruption of the sect. MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN CANAAN CANAAN, Conn., May 30. Sherman Deeman, aged twenty-four years, shot and killed his wife to-day and afterward attempted to commit suicide by shooting, but will probably survive.

Elliot, chief electrical and mechanical engineer of the world's fair, to-day resigned his position with the exposition. Charles Foster, operating engineer of the exposition, will be his successor. Mr. Elliot will resume his duties as city electrician of Chicago. MQTORMAN IS ATTACKED H INFURIATED WOMEN Had Run Down and Killed Child as It Was Crossing the Street to Its Mother. HEMMED BY ANGRY MOB NEW YORK, May 30.-Infurlated at the apparent carlessness of a motorman, who had run over and killed a child In front of the. American Female Guardian Society building at 523 Morris avenue, a score of women attacked the man and probably would have given him a severe beating had not a policeman arrived in time to save him. Even after the policeman had thrust the excited women aside it was necessary to turn the car into a haven of safety for him. LocKing the doors at each end Curtin held the women back until assistance was secured from the police station. The women stormed the car with stones and missies and for a time it looked as if they would succeed in driving the motorman out. The accident happened at uoon. when dozens of children were on their way home from the kindergarten of the society. Among them was Raymond O'Donnell. three years old, who lived at No. 491 East Oae-hundred-and-forty-eighth street. Miss Lawsou, a teacher in the boys department, was keeping a watchful eye on the children and had piloted several across the street when the O'Donnell child saw his mother on the opposite side of Morris avenue waltlnsr. for hlra. Thinking the way was clear. Miss Lawson told the child to run across, and Mrs. O'Donnell held out her arms to receive him. At that moment a car approached, but was hidden from the view of the boy by a passing wajcou. He managed to dodf;e the wagon and as he turned to wave his hand at his teacher he tripped on the track and fell in front of the car. Before Jimmy Gerrity, the motorman, could apply the brakes, the front wheels had passed over the child's body, killing him almost instantly. With a cry of anguish Mrs. O'Donnell ran forward to the rescue of her boy. In vain she attempted to draff the form from under the wheels. Other mothers who were waiting for their children became hysterical and attacked the motorman. An immense crowd at or.ee gathered around the car. With sticks and missiles they attacked Gerrity and were making it decidedly unpleasant for him when Policeman Curtin arrived. A wreckfnsr crew from the car company's stables was wmmoned to extricate the bodv of the boy. Gerrity was held to await the action of the coroner. He told Magistrate Hogan that the accident was unavoidable, as the dilld ran ia front of the car before he saw him.

MANY PASSENGERS WERE FLO 08-BOUND III KANSAS Three Trains Surrounded by High Water Death of a Consumptive Traveler.

WATERS NOW RECEDING OTTAWA, Kan.. May 30. One Missouri Pacific and three Santa Fe passenger trains were stalled at Quenemo to-day. surrounded by high water. It is estimated that a thousand passengers were refugees there. Frank Stephens, of San Bernardino, Cal., en route on Santa Fe passenger train Xo. 2 to some point in Pennsylvania, died today of tuberculosis. The water-bound passengers of the three trains were cared for by the citizens of Quenemo. Many small buildings have been washed down stream. Foreman Siemantel and party are marooned in the Santa Fe shops. TOPEKA. Kan.. May 30. The high water In the Kansas river Is receding sl9wly tonight and all danger is past. Two bad washouts on the Santa Fe between Topeka and Emporia have not yet been repaired, but trains will be running as usual by to morrow. The heaviest rains of yesterday J fell in parts of Kansas other than the Kaw valley, or there would have been much higher water here. Much damage has been done to growing crops. EMPORIA, Kan., May 30. The Cottonwood and Neosho rivers here are out of their banks, and the entire bottoms are inundated. The damage, however, is not so great as it was in the great flood a year ago, as the rise was more gradual and people had ample time to save their stock of household goods. The crops are not so far advanced as last year, so that the damage in that line will not be as great. The rivers are stationary. KANSAS CITY. Mo., May 30. Five pile bridges erected following the great flood last year, all frail affairs, were damaged by ,the flood to-day, a small portion of each being carried out by the driftwood. In Argentine, which was nearly swept away last June, there was a slight scare among the people, who are still timid and ready to take alarm at the first Indication of danger. The river overflowed in the north end of the town, where the land Is lowest, and sewers began to clog and run over. No serious damage resulted, however, and none is expected. GUTHRIE, O. T..

VERY ACTIVE OUTBURST NEW HAVEN, Conn., May SO.-Accordlng to a letter written by a young girl resident in Rosseau, Island of Dominica, to a friend here, the volcano Mont Pelee, in Martinique, on May 8 last, by a singular coincidence, observed the anniversary of the catastrophe. May 8, 1902, when 30,000 lives were lost and the city of St. Pierre destroyed, by again bursting Into active eruption. No mention is made of any loss of life. The letter states that "there was a very active eruption on Sunday, May 8. There was an immense outburst of smoke and cinders and the central cone within the crater appears to have been entirely ejected. "Mont Pelee is visible from Dominica, At the same time there was some slight volcanic disturbance at Guadaloupe Island and the boiling lake in a crater at Dominica was unusually agitated." It was recalled here that the disturbance of crater lakes and slight eruptions for several days before the tremendous outburst on May 8, 1902, were premonitory of that disaster and led a Martinique scientist to investigate and by a cipher dispatch warn the Governor of the island. The warning was withheld from the public. Uoth scientist and Governor were among those who lost their lives. Services at Snlem. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SALEM. Ind., May CO. Company I.

UMPIRE PLUMLEY TELLS OF DECISIS III DISPUTE Terms of Settling Controversy Between British and Venezuelan Government OUTLINE OF HIS FINDING LOS ANGELES. Cal., May 30.-Frank Plumley, of Vermont, one of jthe most prominent of the laymen attending the General Conference of the Methodist Church, according to the Times, has Just forwarded to the British and Venezuelan governments, through their respective ambassadors, his decision as umpire in tho dispute between these countries'. Eleven different countries were Involved, Including Great Britain. Germany, Italj'. Holland. Spain. Mexico and the United States. Great Britain, flolland and Venezuela Joined In asking President Roosevelt to ap point an umpire to settle the points involved on which they could not agree. Mr. Plumley was the one selected to perform this delicate and Important task, ' Some of the questions which Mr. Plumley was called to decide were new international Jurisprudence, and bo he was permitted to take the evidence and briefs to this country for further consideration. Mr. Plumley, for the first time, outline the results of his deliberations. There were four awards, one Involving a large sum of money and the others dealing with important questions of international law. In one case regarding the payment of interest on awards there was no precedent. It Is a new step in international Jurisprudence. The two remaining questions were covering citizenships where the laws of contending countries were not uniform and well settled. The decision rendered by Mr. Plumley was among the most important and far-reaching which came before any of the commissions at the Caracas convention. These awards are the last to be made, and as by mutual agreement his decision Is to be final and conclusive, the last vestige of the Venezuelan dispute, which learned diplomats at ita inception feared might be the means of involving the many nations interested in an international war has now passed away. The first of the awards was in the celebrated case between the Porto Cat-Tlo Sc Valencia Railroad, a powerful British company, and the Venezuelan government, which guaranteed a certain Income whlcU was not made good. The umpire made an award In favor of the company of 11,200xo. Most Interesting from a legal standpoint was the decision in regard to a claim by Great Britain for interest at 5 per cent. upon awards made by a mixed commission In the convention constituting thia commission having provided that the Venezuelan government should by its Congress make provision without delay for the payment of this award. There was a delay In the payments covering about sixteen years. Venezuela denied the right to collect Interest, since there was no specific provision for it by the two governments. Mr. Plumley held that interest at the rate of 3 per cent., the Venezuelan statutory rate when no rate is named In the contract, should be allowed from the time when the Venezuelan Congress latined the terms of the contract, accepted the findings of the commission and made the first payment on account. Regarding the dispute a3 io citizenship, the umpire sustained the construction of the Constitution of Venezu-l3. which insists that a man born of British parent in Venezuela was a Venezuelan by birth and domicile If he always resided there. In the last count Great Britain urged that in case of a British subject domiciled in Venesiiela anrl who rtled thre and who was married to a Venezuelan woman such widow became a British subject by such marriage and retained her standing after his death and could appear as a claimant for a cause accruing to her husband In his lüttlme. The umpire denied this claim. JOKE TAKES A SERIOUS TURN POR SHORT TIME, A joke intenld only for the conductor of an in-bound Union Traction car was last nlzht turned upon the perpetrator.
