Japan Will Give Back the Msn-of- Wav
Captured Not Long Ago.
San Francisco, June ia Seattle
special says: A well-authenticated
story comes from Japan to the effect
that all Of the men-of-war captured
from the Chinese in the late war be-
tween the two countries are to be re-
turned to the Chinese government.
This is part of the policy decided on by
Japan to protect her neighbor from the
inroads of the powers. 1t is said that
the only requirements to be made is
that China invest go many millions in
new war vessels, to be built under
Japanese direction.
The Japanese government sends out
notification that the government naval
yards will no longer do repair work
on foreign or native merchantmen,
except in case of emergency. It is
pointed out that private docks have
been constructed sufficient to do the
work. The Hong Kong papers see
trouble ahead if the dowager empress
and Generalissimo Junglu insist upon
holding the proposed review Of 2OO.-
600 Chinese braves at Peking. Vari-
GUS legations have advised against the
review. as calculated to endangeT
foreign interests.
Most discouraging reports are reach
ing Japan from the plague-stricken
districts of FOrmosa. The island il

Generals Under Hot Fire.

General Lawton, though exhausted
by the mornings fight. rallied by sheer
will power, and was the commanding
figure in the battle. He went along
the lines, directing and encouraging
the troops. General Wheaton and
General Ovenshine were equally cour-
ageous. In fact. the generals were
among the few men on the battlefield
who refused to take shelter under the
hottest fire.
The only approach to the fighting
ground was by narrow, winding road,
where the rebel bullets dropped
thickly, wounding several Of our men.
At 4 o'clock there was an hours lull
in the lighting, and an artillery SER
geant galloped back to where two guns
of the mountain battery were waiting
in reserve, and shouted, Bring up
those guns" Then the sergeant tum-
bled exhausted from his horse.
Twenty wounded men were carried
to boat. waiting on the beach, which
was Iowed to Paranaque.
1t is impossible at present to estimate
the number of Filipino dead. There
a,e many dead bodies in the fields the
Americans traversed.

In Colorado, Throwing Thousands Of
Men Out Of Employment.
Denver, June 15.-This morning

closed down. throwing several thousand
employees out Of employment, and in
cidentally a much larger number Of
miners, in coal as we'll as metalliferous
mines, coke burners, teamsters and
other workmen. Indeed, the effect Of
the shutdown upon Colorado can
hardly be computed at this time. The
shutdown is the result Of the eight

The season is somewhat backward
