SINKING OF THE THEA.
German Investigation Into All the Cir
cumstances.

BERLIN. August 4.-The German govern
ment has instituted investigation into
all the circumstances connected with the
sinking OF the German steamer Thea by the
Vladivostok squadron off the coast of ia
PAN preparatory to making representations
at st. Petersburg. Among the questions
subject to the inquiry is the amount of coal
on board whether II was too little to en-
able her to steam TO Vladvostok, and also
the proportion OF provisions In her cargo,
whether 1t exceeded half the cargo. thus
subjecting the vessel to capture under the
Russian prize regulations.
Germany apparently is doing nothing to
clear up the matter through her commercial
agent at Vladivostok, who is a Russian
subject. The owner of the Thea. Herr
Diedrichsen of Kiel, will arrive in Berlin
tomorrow for the purpose of having an in
terview with the foreign Office, which relies
on him chiefly in clearing up the status OF
the Thea; but the foreign Office probably
Will also institute inquiry with the
American owners of the cargo.
The German government admits that Vice
Admiral Skrydlofr acted within the Russian
prize regulations in capturing the Thea, but
the officials Intimate that the foreign ONCE
questions the right of capture when provis-
ions. are consigned to private firms instead
OF TO a hostile government. The foreign Of

APPEALS TO WAR DEPARTMENT.
Missouri Wants Federal Help to Pre-
vent Bridge Monopoly.

The brief of Attorney General Edward G.
Crow Of Missouri in the matter of the con-
solfdation of the Merchants and Eads'
bridge at st. Louis reached the War De-
partment this morning. The state attorney
general began action against those COM
panies In the state courts with a view to
breaking up what he asserted to be a mo-
nopoly In restraint of trade but the court
held that those corporations were in the
nature or terminal companies, and there
fore not subject to the prohibitions i'm
posed by law upon consultations of rail-
roads. Therefore the attorney general has
nad recourse to the national government

charged by Congress with responsibility for
the construction and operation of bridges
over navigable streams
Judge Advocate General Davis has been
following the case very closely, and in fact,
ne went to Missouri to attend the session
OF the state court when 1t was argued
therefore he is in position to make an early
report upon the matter to Secretary Taft

states government shall proceed against
the bridge companies If he decides in the

Will Confiscate Only Certain Japanese
Consignments.

vLADIvOSTOK. August 4.-The prize
court has decided to confiscate such portion
of the cargo of the Portland and Asiatic
Line steamer Arabia as was consigned to
Japanese ports, namely, 5000 pounds OF
-four and the railroad equipment, this por.
ton constituting less than half the bulk
and weight of her cargo, the remainder,
consisting of 142 500 pounds of flour, con-
signed to Hong Kong. The confiscated por-
ton OF the cargo is now being unloaded.
As soon as this is completed the steamer

only the Japanese, as prisoners of war are

RETURNING FROM LIAoYANG.
Reported That Kuropatkin is Now
Heading for Mukden.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. August f. - A cablegram
from Paris says: The Petit Journal reports
that twenty thousand Japanese troops have
landed at Yinkow, port Of Niuchwang, and
are advancing rapidly In the direction of
the Liaoyang. The force, marching from
Yinkow, would take the Russians on the
right flank. The suggestion that Kuropat-
kin may relinquish his idea of seriously de-
Tending even Liaoyang. where enormous
stores must have accumulated, receives sup
port from the st. Petersburg correspondent
of the Echo de Paris. who reports that a
large number of troops have evacuated
Liaoyang and are now retiring to Mukden,
while during tie past week trainloads of
provisions and munitions have been dis
patched daily to that place.
News from official and unofficial sources
shows Kuropatkin is retiring north with all
haste.
He is fighting stubbornly a rear guaEd
fight, hoping to avoid being cut Off before
he can reach Liaoyang. but there is little
hope of his putting end to the retreat
before Harbin is reached.
