Summary Of the War.

In response to a telegram sent by
The Optic today, the Associated Press
says the story published in many Of
the morning papers yesterday con.
scernine the defeat Of $4,000 Japanese
was another canard.
The Japs have captured another
Russian torpedo boat and several
merchant prizes. The Russians sue
sceded in blowing up another valuable
cruiser OF their fleet. The Russians
have decided to Withdraw their ap-
Preparation to the St. Louis exposi-
tion. The neutrality proposition is
causing trouble, all the powers agree
ing to general terms but differing as
~ the application.
The action of the Russians against
the English and Americans, and Of the
:Japs aaginst the Germans is likely to
cause complications. The Russians
are landing large bodies Of troops in
Siberia. The Turks have been coWed
into apparent friendship for Russia.
