THE RUSSIANS IN CHINA.
Chinese Approve the Fleet Winter
ing at Port Arthur.
BUT JAPANESE ARE INDIGNANT.

Russians step Regarded as Tantamount
60 a Permanent Occupation and "a
Reply to Germany's Aetion-Emperor
william Visits Russian Ambassador.
London, Dec. 2O.-The correspondent
of The Times at Peldn says: China
approves of the Russian fleet wintering
at Port Arthur, being persuaded that
this action is taken in the interest Of
China and necessitated b ythe German
occupation of Kiao-Chau."
A dispatch to The Times from Shang-
hal says the occupation of Port Arthur
by Russia) cannot fail to provoke pop
ular indignation in Japan, where public
opinion is already excited over the Kiao
Chau affair.
kilograms from all the continental
capitols show that Russia's step at
Port Arthur is regarded as tantamount
to a permanent occupation and a reply
to Germanys action.
A well informed st. Petersburg cor
respondent says there was no agree
ment between Russia and Germany,
and that the latter simply warned
Russia when the occupation Of Kiao-
Chau was already decided upon.
The Novoe Vremyea pretends that
Japan has no cause for complaint,
"since China is only giving the same
/ shelter to Russian ships as Japan had
| hitherto so kindly afforded"
| This view is not held in Berlin, where
! the papers are already talking of the
possibility of Prince Henry having to
| shake his mailed fist at Japan, that is
supposed to be secretly backed up by
! England. Some of the Berlin papers
express anxiety, but most of them well
come the news from Port Arthur as
! iustifying the German position at Kiao-
Chau, If not as actual evidence that
Russia and Germany are acting to-
gether. Curiously enough Emperor
| William visited the Russian ambas-
sador on Friday night on his return
from Kiel, ostensibly to congratulate him
on the name day of Emperor Nicholas
The visit lasted an hour. There is nc
doubt now that the emperor and the
ambassador discussed Chinese affairs
According to a dispatch to The Daily
Mail from Shanghai the high officials
of the Chinese court have advised the
emperor, in view Of further complica-
tions, to remove the court to Nanlking
(the southern capitol') The dispatch
says it is reported there that overtures
have been made to England to exer-
else protection over the Yang Use val
ley and the West river, and that nu-
merous rumors are current regarding
the activity of the British squadron ii
Chinese waters.

SPANISH VICTORIES
The Reports Come From Spanish
Official Sources.
ARE PROBABLY EXAGGERATED.

A Spanish Fort at Guamo Completely
Destroyed by the Insurgents, But
spaniards "Made Heroic Defense
ana Insurgents suffered Heavily"
Havana, Dec. 2O.-The official state
ment as to the execution bv the in
surgents of Lieutenant Colonel Joa-
quin Ruiz SAYS that he was shot on
Friday last by order of the insurgent
commander, Alexandra Rodriguez, with
the approval Of the insurgent com
mander Arenguren. General opinion is
that it was a barbarous act.
A Spanish detachment at Guamo, on
the Cauto river, north of Manzanillo,
in the province of Santiago de Cuba,
was besieged, according TO the official
account, from Nov. 8 to 70 last and
valiantly repelled the insurgents. on
Nov. q a fierce attack was made on
the fort by a large body Of Insurgents
with two cannon. More than 150 can
non shots made sieve of the forts and
destroyed a factory. Finally the in
surgents got inside the wire fence
around the fort and called on the gar
rison to surrender The garrison still,
according to the official account, re-
]
with heroic pride continued the de-
fense" until Dec. 10 last.
The insurgents left &c killed inside
the wire fence, and a quantity of arms
and ammunition, which the garrison
used, according to the official account,
to prolong its desperate defense. Cen
| eral Aldave, while accommodating in
| the neighborhood, found the bodies of
! three other insurgents and many
| graves. During the siege and the at
| tack on the fort the insurgents lost, it
! is officially asserted, 200 killed and
wounded. The garrison had only six
! killed and 80 wounded. But>the fort
was completely destroyed and the gar
rison was without water, with pesti-
! lence all around and only little pork
| for food. General Blanco will recom-
pense the members of the garrison for
! their losses.
| General Pando and the column under
| Colonel Bruna, assisted by the gun
boats Dependence, Luisa, Centinala
and Velazquez, found in the River
Cauto three large torpedoes and also
many small sunken vessels. They de-
stroyed with dynamite a quantity OF
the effects of the insurgents at Cienaga
del Buey and Cayaman.
General Aldave, who left Cauto de
| Emboscadro about the same time, had
an engagement at Laguna de Ytabo
losing 20 killed, among these two cap
tains, and 95 wounded, among then
a doctor and two officers The in
surgents were compelled to abandon
their trenches, and retired with large
loss.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2O.-William Lloyd
Garrison, the well known Bofton re-
former, addressed the Ethical society
yesterday on the life, character and
work of Henry George, whom he char
acterized as one of the greatest men of
all time. During his address he said:
"Never did knight of old fight more va
liantly to win back the holy land from
the Saracen than did Henry George to
win his country from pauperism, Long
after we are gone men will contem-
plate from varying points of view this
Alpine peak of moral force. The sun
set of the Nineteenth century will pre-
sage with added glory the coming of
the Twentieth because he lived
thought and wrote"

TUNNEL SITE DECISION,

Commenting upon the decision re-
Gently made by the United States Su-
preme Court in the suit generally
known as the Rico-Aspen tunnel site
case, the. Denver Times says:
The decision apparently settles the
controversy, not only of that particu-
lar case, but between the tunnel site
owners and subsequent locators Of
veins along the line Of the tunnel site
or on its territory. The decision Of
the Supreme Court settles the conten-
ton that a tunnel site locator has the
right to the possession Of every blind
vein which crosses the line Of the tun.
mel within 5000 feet from it's face
which was not discovered when the
tunnel was located; provided that the
tunnel site owners have prosecuted
the work on the tunnel with diligence.
And the discovery OF q lode or vein
from the surface after the location Of
the tunnel will not deprive the owner
Of the tunnel Of any part Of the vein /;
and, provided further, that he has dil.
igently prosecuted his work on the
tunnel. The decision also settles the
right Of the owner OF such tunnel to
lacate 1000 feet along the vein, and
this location may be made partially
upon one side Of the point Of discov-
cry of the tunnel, or entirely upon one
side.
The decision has created consterna.
ton among mine owners in Cripple
Creek and othe. camps where deep
mining has not already discovered
most OF the blind veins OF the other
claims.
