CORRESPONDENTS IND1scREEr.
Bring Two Japanese Servants to Newchwane. 4

Newchwang. April 2.-The authorities here were considerably aroused today by the arrival of a press boat, indiscreetly bearing two Japanese servants who were arrested and probably will not be released for several months.
 On, account of the fact the Russians have not yet arranged the local status of correspondents, such indiscretions are apt to be interpreted. as indicating coop eration with interest inimical to Russia which may be inspiring erroneous con captions of the situation in the minds of the war correspondents. The entire crew and staff of the press boat are under sur veillance and the vessel must leave on the first favorable tide.
 The Russian administration of this city and port so far has been liberal It is being managed in the interests of com lnerce. allowing freedom to the cargoes of ships and placing no restrictions on the use of the railway and telegraph lines.

No Patience in the South and West Over the Stand of Tammany for an Uninstructed
 Delegation.

 Colorado Building.

Washington, April ?.
 August and Perry Belmont, of the well known family of New York Belmonts, which has been Democratic from gen. eration to generation, have been in Washington for the past few days in- vestigating the feeling of Democratic Representatives in Congress with refer ence to the choice of candidate for President.
 They held a conference yesterday with a number of Senators, and in the course of their stay conferred with many of the leading Democrats of the House. They carried back to New York as the result of their conversations the con- viction that the Democrats of Congress arc overwhelmingly ill favor of the nom- ination. of Judge Parker and advise that instruction be given the New York del- egation to that effect.
 A Message to Murphy.
 The Belmonts also carried message t, Mr. Murphy of Tammany that his resistance Of instructions for Parker, when 1t is plain that a large majority of the Democrats of New York want hin.. will receive no encouragement in the South or West.
 The Southern Congressman were espe- cially emphatic in the expressions against
 
 few members who had hoped for some thlng in Tammany's use of Mir. Cleve- lands name are now convinced that it meant nothing as far as the former Pres ident was concerned and that Murphy knew 1t, that his purpose in opposing instructions was for an ulterfor end. In that policy, he had alliance with Con gessman Hearst
 Tie now manifest determination of New York Democrats to instruct outright for Judge Parker is regarded here as the seyerest blow the Hearst boom has yet received. f s-....''s's'. = |. .'..s. z'.
 No Longer Bet Money.
 Only a few days ago the Hearst people here were. betting New York would not instruct her delegation to St, Louis. They have ceased to wager since the upstate primaries. They had expected d different result in Erie County. ta
 Senators Daniel and Martin and the entire House Representatives of nine Democrats from Virginia today came out in a declaration for the nomination of Judge Parker The Virginiaris have, un- til today, with two or three exceptions, been regarded as in sympathy with the candidacy of Senator German. Particu- lariy partial to the Marylander have beer. Senators Daniel and Martin. Their expression for Parker $ taken as an un- mistakable indication that MT. German has eliminated himself and will give his influence for the nomination of Judge Parker. Another delegation which is solid for Parker is that of Louisiana. It. is con fidentially stated by we'll posted members that with the possible exception of Flor ida. every Southern State will send Parker delegation to St. Louis That was the kind of assurance which the Belmonts carried to New York. ~

JUST RUSSIAN STRATEGY.
Kuropatkin Will Allow Japan to Win
 Small Victories. &

Paris April 2.-The military attache of one of the embassies says it Is clearly part of General Kuropatlin's strategy to permit the Japanose to have a number of small victories in Northern Korea, 90 as to draw them northward toward Har- bin. He adds:
 These were the Russian tactics during tho Turkish war; they permitting the Turkish to win small skirmishcs which led them forward until the Russians were n,assed at Plevna. Several victo- ries in Northern Korea will so stimulate the Japanese ambition that they vii! ndopt the cry On to Harbin.' which is exactly the point to which Kuropatlrin seeks to True them"
