.RuSSlA'S POLICY

Report by Lieutenant Colonel
Simpson Detailing Work Of

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. June S0-How masnaninous

ingly shown by.a report on Russian opera
lions in Manchuria, which will be published
in few days By Lieutenant Colonel W. A.
Simpson. chief OF the military information
division OF the War Department.
This report, giving the first detailed ac-
count Of Russian military operations. shows
that Russia had greater cause than any
Of the other Powers for declaring war on
China. It's frontier was invaded. and Its
people killed; Its railway in Aanchuria was
destroyed and, sharing the common injury
Of other Powers its subjects IN Northern
China were expelled or slain. ~. 4;
Yet in the face Of these conditions. Russia.
DESTROYS Of common accord among the
Powers, did not declare war against China.
The report concludes by showing that Rus
saa has greatly reduced its military force
in Manchuria, and contemplates the with
drawal of all the troops when conditions.

burns from which she died at the City Hos

She stated to Doctor J. C. Bohn. who at
tended her at the hospital. the reason which
prompted her act was that she loved her
husband dearly and as she believed that he
had ceased to care for her she did not want

Kingston. Jamaica, June 5o.-The steamer

the United States Government. does not use
the word lost" against the marines. but
merely holds them responsible. The greater
part of the company's property consisted
OF rice. which was Afterwards distributed
under orders from the British and Ameri-
can Generals to assist those In need. q
Mr.. DENLY thinks the company's claim
should have been added to the indemnity as
legitimate expenditure. Other Tten-Tsin
merchants say the company never had 800 900
taels worth Of property here.
1t is pointed out that the company stored
three boxes Of valuables with the chartered
bank before the trouble began, and did not
withdraw these until october, and that, con-
sequently. 1t is quite improbable any jewels
were left to be looted. Moreover. the place
was thoroughly gone through by local loot
ers before the allied forces arrived. -
1t would be legally impossible to hold
any portion OF the receiving force respon-
sible for anything but the rice and coal,
which were used as a military necessity to
feed Chinese coolies who were forced to la
Dor. and also those who were without
means Of livelihood.

Mrs. Potter's death was directly due to
the exhausting effects of the intense heat.
She has been sufferer from weak heart
