St Petersburg, Sept. S.--A Russian
correspondent of the Associated Press
in a graphic description of the fight
ing at Liao-Yang, says that the Jap
anese suffered terribly but made light
of their losses and continually drafted
reserves to replace wornout men.
The numerical superiority of the
japanese is astounding and incompre'
hensible, for after losing enough men
at Port Arthur and elsewhere to form
a perfect army, their effective
strength appears only to increase and
they still are concentrating fresh
troops on the Lao river.

UNITED STATES WILL NOT REIN.
BURSE COLOMBIA FOR SE-
cEssloN OF PANAMA.
PANAMA MAY SHARE IN LIABILITY
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT READY
TO GUARANTEE ANY DUTY
PANAMA MAY ASSUME.

Washington, Jan. 14.-It can be
stated by authority that the admins
tration does not contemplate paying
one dollar out of the United States
treasury to Colombia on account Of
the secession of Panama. Nor will it
go before The Hague tribunal as a
party to any proceedings growing out
Of that secession. 1t is stated that to
do either of these things would be to
commit the administration to an ad-
mission that it had been guilty Of
wronging Colombia.
On the other hand it is again an
nounced that the United States gov
eminent stands ready to do everything
in it's power to bring about an AMIGA
BILE understanding between Colombia
and Panama It may be that Panama
will consent to go before The Hague
tribunal with Colombia and allow that
tribunal to decide whether or not Pan
ANA shall make any concessions to
Colombia on account of the severance
of political ties. 1t is certain that the
United States government would look
with favor upon the assumption by
Panama of some small liability, to
make good the heavy loss which c.
lombia has suffered. The government
is even willing to go to the extent of
guaranteeing the performance by Pan
ANA of any duty and obligation she
may assume toward Colombia and eX-
changes on this basis between inter-
ested parties are now in progress.

which has been telegraphed here from
Windhoek Damaraland, German South

Washington, Jan. 14.-Ratifications
of the Americana Chinese commercial
treaty were exchanged at the state de.
partment during the day by Secretary
Hay and Sir Chentung Liang Cheng,
the Chinese minister here.
The treaty provides for the opening
of the ports OF Mukden and Antung
in Manchuria, to the worlds com
merce.
The treaty is now an accomplished
fact, it remaining only to proclaim II
and appoint the necessary consuls at
Mukden and Antung. The president
has selected these consuls from men
of experience already in the consular
service and consequently able to open
up the new field to trade with the least
possible delay. Their names will be
sent to the senate as soon as congress
makes provision for their salary, which
the state department hopes will be
done speedily. 1t is regarded as very
desirable that such rights as we have
acquired in Manchuria, as to China,
shall be fully established and asserted
IN advance or any poSSlDle war lna'
might affect the vast territory to the
extent Of change Of sovereignty.
The ceremony Of exchange took
place at the state department by ap
pcintment at IL o'clock. The Chinese
minister was accompanied by his. sec
retary. Everything had been arranged
and MI. Conger had notified the de
partment that the Chinese government
had placed an exchange copy OF the
treaty in his hands. This is held tc
be equivalent to the delivery OF the
