TWO CHICKENS STOLEN.
So Far the Only Depredations Reported
 Around Manassas.


 Corps Headquarters. Gainesville. va.. Sept. 2IHFive 2 thousand regular army troops have been roaming a territory comprising 65,000 acres of Virginia farms for nearly two weeks and the only depreciation reported thus far has been the loss of two chickens.
 This record is a gratifying surprise even to the regular army officers. and Is an example to the miltiamen who are to pour into the two maaeuver camps tomorrow.

These promises have been fulfilled to the letter. Officers will be in the field during the maneuvres charged with the duty of Interviewing farmers at once and agreeing if possi- ble with them on the amount of dam- age done.

TO AVOID COMPLICATIONS.
The ASkOId. GrOzOvOf and Diana 10
Voluntarily Disarm.

Paris. Aug. 24.-There is reason TO
believe that a decision is about to be
taken providing for the voluntary dis
armament Of the Russian cruiser AS
kold and the torpedo boat destroyer
Grozovoi, now at Shanghai, n the
Russian cruiser Diana at Saigon. rms
will be done primarily to avoid inter
national complications, and will have
the effect Of reducing the Russian
strength by three strong units, but the
Russian authorities consider that this
will be Offset by the avoidance OF the
nossible capture of the vessels named
by the Japanese.
Adyices received here from Saigon
show. contrary to previous
ments. that the Diana is in a very a
condition. She has n large hole In
her hull below the water line. Her IN
iuries will take weeks TO repair. This
would have permitted an extension Oh
her s%ojourn in a neutral port beyond
the. 24-hour limit, which expired tues
day. but it is %fOreSeen that the repairs
would entail such a stay at Saigon that
it is possible that questions affecting
the neutrality of the port would be
likely to arise, and, therefore, Russia
is disposed to disarm the Diana, which
thereafter will remain at Saigon during
the var
The final determination in the mat
ter has not yet been taken but the ten
denotes are strongly as indicated. 1t IS
expected that the action to be taken at
Shanghai and Saigon will relieve the
cases OF international significance ana
practically close them.

CAUSE OF THE PRESENT WAR
Baron Metsudaira Discusses the
Eastern War Situation.
JnprEese Anxiety { o Garry Western
Civilization Into the Orient
the lima Cause.

San Francisco. Aug. 24.-Baron Mat
sudaira, member of the house of peers
OF japan. and vice-president of the i'm
perial Japanese commission to the st.
Louis exposition, Is here on his way
home. In an interview published in
the Chronicle he Is quoted as follows
on the Russo-Japanese war situation:
1.-THE true cause of the present wal
is the eagerness of the Japanese to
carry western civilization into the
orient-into Manchuria and into China
proper. She feels it her duty to do
for the orient what America has done
for her.
THE best way to do this was, she
thought. to open the ports and other
cities of Manchuria and of China prop
to to the commerce of the world.
"She had no reason to expect a on
troversy from Russia in accomplishing
this object. She did not expect war,
but a peaceable settlement. The world
is familiar with the immediate occa-
sion of the conflict.
THE fall of Port Arthur will prob
ably not close the war, because it
may not settle the purpose of the war
it may not convince Russia. By the
time the Russians get to Hardin it will
be time for Russia to be convinced
that she was wrong. In case the Jap
anese win in this war they will not
treat Manchuria according to Russian
policy There are many possibilities,
but probably she will not make it a
japanese territory, but will handle it
in az cordance with the original pur-
pcse. The victory of the japanese will
greatly increase American oriental
commerce."
