NOTES FROM, THE WAR;
More About the Sinking Of the Kow-shupg
Reported Russo Chinese Entente.

Reported Russo Chinese Entente.
LONDON, August THE Tien-Tsin cor
respondent Of the Central News says: "a
Chinese cruiser has captured a japanese
trading barque and taken her to Taku.
All pilots have been warned officially that
they must not guide Japanese vessels nor
give them any information as to the
waters and coast.
1.-The rivers are falling steadily in con-
sequence OF the drought. 1t will soon be
impossible for the japanese TO make a
raid up the Pei-ho toward Picking"
The Central News correspondent In
Shanghai says that Colonel Won Henneken
has made still another affidavit concern
ing the sinking OF the kow-Shung. This
affidavit differs from the accounts already
given only in few details. In II Colonel
Won Hennekin says that after the de-
mands of the Japanese officers and the
replies of the English and Chinese had
been made the cruiser Naniwa, which lay
on the port side. launched two torpedoes
and fired six guns at the Kow-Shung.
The transport was struck amidshlps and
sank quickly.
The Europeans jumped into the water
before the transport was hit. and the
Chinese began to jump in as the trans
port settled. The Naniwa lowered an
armed boat, which kept up a fire on the
Kow-Shung until the latter went under
Colonel Won Hennekin repeats that botf
the Kow-Shung and the Naniwa fired on
those swimming between them
A copy of a Japanese edict issued since
the declaration OF war has been received
by the Central News correspondent in
Shanghai. This edict says that the local
authorities will be held responsible for the
lives and properties of Chinese subjects
remaining in their several districts.
The Russian officials In Shanghai say
that If Russian trade suffers too severely
from the war Russia will interfere. Rus
sia's movements are watched very closely
by Japan. owing to the reports of Rus'
so-Chinese entente.
The weather on the China sea Is s.
rough that all smaller vessels have beer
driven into port. The japanese cruisers
are supposed to be concentrating at Che
muiuO.
