Four r1en Burned.

Harrisburg, Pa, Special.-Four I'M
identified men were burned to death
in box car containing gasolene, which
caught fire at Branch intersection, ten
miles east Of this city. Two others,
George Klinger, of Harrisburg, and w.
c. Lyter, OF Lewistown, barely escaped
with their lives, their bodies and
clothes being badly burned. The men
were employed on the Pennsylvania
Railroad improvement at Enola and
were being sent to Bainbridge to clear
the ice from the tracks. One OF the
cars contained five barrels OF sasolehe.
One of the men struck match to light
his pipe while near one of the gasolene
barrels. A spark must have landed on
the barrel for in an instant the in
terror of the car was a fiery furnace.
There was a scramble to get out, but
four men were trampled upon by the
others and their bodies were afterward
found burned to crisp.

Two official messages from Niceroy

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST

a total Of 120 huge projectiles that
were fired al the city The lombard
Teat was deliberate and carefully
planned. In order to aid in perfecting
the firing Admiral Togo stationed the
| cruisers in position due east OF the
| entrance to the narbor. and at right
angles to the battleships. The cruisers
observed the range and effect Of the
firing and slgnaled the results and sug-
gestions by wireless telegraphy. Ad-
| niral Togo was unable to learn def
nitely the results of the bomba-lT ent,
but later private reports indicate that
| much destruction was caused in the
city where serious fires broke out.
There also was damage TO batteries.
Capt. Shokiro Asai. commanding the
fotilla Of torpedo boat destroyers. had
only three destroyers. but attacked the
six Russian Gest"oyers, ordered his
craft to close in with the enemy. He
steamed so close to the enemy's de-
stroyers that they almost touched. and
4 most desperate conflict ensued. from
which the Russians retired badly dis
abled.
The Japanese fotilla which sunk the
rnines at the mouth of the harbcr later
engaged two Russian destroyers. This
fotilla was commanded by Command
er Tsuchiya. Admiral Togo's object in
sending cruisers to Talien Wan Bay
was to encompass the destruction Of

the buildings were demolished.

A PROCLAMATION ISSUED
Cur Army and Navy Ordered TO Oo.
serve Strict Neutrality.

Washington Special. President
Roosevelt, after conference with
Secretary OF State Hay. issued the
following executive order:
"All officials nf the government,
civil. military and naval. are hereby
directed not only to observe the Pres
ident's proclamation Of neutrality in
the pending war between Russia and
Japan, but also to abstain from either
action or speech which can legiti.
ma:ely cause irritation to either OF
the conbatants. The government Of
the United States represents the peo-
pie of the United States. not only
in the sincerity with which it Is en-
deavoring to keep the scales of neu.
trality exact and even, but in the sim
cerity with which it deplOres the
breaking out Of the present war, and
hopes that it may end with the earli-
est possible moment and with the
smallest possible loss to those en-
gagged. Such war inevitably in
creases and inflames the susceptible
ties of the combatants to anything
in the nature of an injury or slight
by outsiders. Too often combatants
make conflicting claims as to the du-
ties and obligations Of neutra..S so
that even when dischargiug these du-
ties and obligations with scrupulous
care. it is difficult to avoid giving Of
fense to one or the other party. To
such unavoidable causes OF ofense,
due to the performance Of national
duty, there must not be added any
avcidable causes. 1t is always unFor-
tunate to bring Old World antipathies
and iealousies into cur life or by
speech or conduct to excite anger and
resentment toward our nation in
friendly foreign lands; but in gov
ernment employe whose official posi-
ton makes him in some sense the
representative of the people, the mis-
chief of such action is greatly in
creased. A strong and self-confident
nation should be particularly careful
not only of the rights, but of the sus-
capabilities Of its neighbors. and now
adays all the nations of the world
are neighboEs, one to the other.
"All officials of the government,
civil, military or naval, are expected
to carry themselves, both in act and
in deed, as TO give no cause OF just
offense to the people of any foreign
land and friendly power-and with
all mankind we are no win friend
