Proclamation to All Govern

EERENcH SECRETS BETRAYED

TOXIC, March 11.-The report OF
Vice Admiral Kamimura, in command
of the Vladivostock naval expedition,
reached the navy department here
Yesterday. It evidently came by way
IF Gen San, where the squadron was
expected to call upon its return. The
report throws little additional light
upon the movement, except it seems
to show that the Russian squadron re-
NAMED safely within Vladiyostock
harbor, under the protection of the
shore batteries.
Admiral Kamimura says that he
bombarded the harbcr for forty-five
minutes, and believes that the fire
was effective. At o'clock en- Sun
day evening the Japanese discovered
heavy volumes of smoke ascending ov.
er the eastern mouth of the harbor,
and it was thought for time that the
Russians were getting steam up to
come out and give battle. wls!th was
eagerly awaited, but the smoke gradu-
ally died away, with ne appearance of
any CT the Russian ships.
The Japanese ships searched the
surrounding bays until noon on Mon
day, when they again steamed back
to the eastern entrance of Valdivos-
took harbor The forts there did not
fire at the approaching ships, and no
trace was found cf the Russian squar-
drcn. Admiral kamimura then steam
ed south, accommodating Possiet Bay
and other points in the vicinity. but

AMERICAN NEUTRALITY
President Roosevelt Issues ProcIama
ton to All Government Officials.

Washington, March 11-President
Roosevelt, after conference with
Secretary Of State Hay, issued the
following executive order respecting
the observance of the proclamation re-
Gently promulgated, declaring the neu-
trality cf the United States between
Russia and Japan:
il, military and naval, are hereby di-
rected net only to observe the presi-
dents proclamation of neutrality in
the pending war between Russia and
Japan, but also to abstain from either
action or speech which can legitimate
ly cause irritation to either of the
ccmbata ats The government of the
United States represents the people
of the United States, not only in the
sincerity with which it is endeavcr-
ing to keep the scales of neutrality ex-
act and even, but in the sincerity with
which it deplores the breaking out of
the present war, and hopes that it will
end at the earliest possible moment,
and with the smallest possible loss to
those engaged
Such war inevitably increases
and inflames the susceptibilities of the
combatants to anything in the nature
OF an injury Or slight by outsiders. Too
often combatants make conflicting
claims as to the duties and obligations
OF neutrals, so that even when dis
charging these duties and obligations
With scrupulous care it is difficult to
avoid giving cffense to one or the
other party. To such unavoidable
causes of offense, due to the perform
ance of national duty, there must not
oe added any avoidable cause. It is
always unfortunate to bring old-world
antlpathies and jealousies into our
lie, or by speech or conduct to excite
anger and resentment toward our ma.

position makes him in so me sense the
