AMERICANS DID ASSIST
RUSSIANS AT CHEMULPO
St. Petersburg Statement Flatly
Contradicted by the Vicks-
burg's Commander.
MARSHALL TO BE UPHELD

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Without wait
ing for any suggestion from st. Petersburg,
though that has since come, and more than
three days ago. the Navy Department cabled
to Commander Marshall of the United
States steamer Vicksburg at Chemulpo, re-
questing an explanation of the facts con-
nected with the reported refusal on his
part TO take aboard his ship sailors from
the Russian warships sunk by the Jap
anese. This afternoon the following bull
letin was posted at the Navy Department:
"A dispatch from Commander Marshall
states that he sent medical aid, as well as
boats, to the assistance of the Variag."
Touching the Russian complaint that
Commander Marshall did not join with the
other foreign captains in protesting against
the Japanese attack upon the Variag and
the Korietz in neutral harbor, it is de-
clared at the Navy Department that the
officer certainly would not be upheld by his
department in meddling in such a matter.
1t is the first time that either the Navy or
State Department has been seriously asked
to oblige a foreign power TO observe neutral
ity and ii is pointedly stated that il was
Russia's business to look TO Korea for re-
dress If that country had not maintained
the neutrality of its ports.

HIS MAJESTY'S MESSAGE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Count Cassini.
the Russian ambassador. has received from
his government an exceedingly cordial
cablegram in response TO his Excellencys
message sent TO St. Petersburg several
days ago regarding the numerous offers
of American doctors and nurses 10 donate
their services TO the Russian army and
navy in the far Eastern war. The ambas-
sador is directed by his government to as
sure the Americans that his Majesty has
been deeply touched at this renewed evil
dence Of kindly spirit on the part Of the
Americans and although the government OF
the Emperor is profoundly appreciative or
these offers the overwhelming number OF
doctors and nurses in Russia will scarcely
permit her to accept aid from other coun-
tries. There were between 100 and $50 let
ters received at the Russian embassy to-
day from persons offering their services to
Russia as doctors or nurses.

JAPANESE WANT TO
LAND CABLE AT GUAM
Cabinet Believes 1t Would Not Be
Violation of the Neutral
ity Laws.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-At the Cabinet
meeting to-day the question of the land
ing of the Japanese cable on the Island of
Guam was considered. An application has
been made to this government by the Com
mercial Cable Company. on behalf of Japan
TO land a cable on the Island of Guam in
order to connect Japan with the American
cable at that point. At present Japan has
two cable lines connecting ii with the out
side world Both of them run from Nag
asaki across the lower end of the Yellow
sea TO Shanghai. If the cables should
be cut by the Russians, a contingency
which is not unlikely, as the waters of the
Yellow near Japan are comparatively
shallow. Japan would be cut off from
communication by cable with other coun-
sion 10 the cable company TO land its cable
at Guam involves TO some extent in the
circumstances, the neutrality of the United
States in the pending far Eastern conflict
Practically ii Is understood a decision has
been reached that such permission could
be granted without violating the terms of
neutrality laid down by the United States
in it's proclamation 1t seems not unlikely
however, that some conditions may be at
tached TO the permission If II should be
granted. The question now is in the hands
of Secretary Hay and a determination of il
will probably be reached very SOON

SENATE LACKS QUORUM
md DOES LITTLE WORK

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The Senate to-
day considered at some length the bill re-
quiring the use of American ships in car
rying government supplies. but without ac-
tion adjourned for want of quorum. The
bill was criticised by Democratic senators
as being in the nature of a subsidy, but Mr..
Hale. who I'm charge of the measure,
defended it against the attack and cham
pioned 1t in the interest of American ship
ping.
Early in the day agreement was
reached to take up on Monday next the
bill authorizing the erection of a joint
building for the departments of State. JUS
tice and Commerce, and to devote Thurs
day to legislation in the interest of Alaska.
Mr.. Fairbanks made an effort to get up
the bill authorizing the construction of a
building to be used by the Department of
State, the Department of Justice and the
Department OF Commerce, but Mr.. Cock
rell objected on account of the absence of
Mr.. German. who, he said, was greatly in
terested in the measure and desired 10 be
heard on IL. a general exchange of views
followed. with the result that the Senate
agreed TO make the bill the order of bust
ness for next Monday.
At the request of Mr. Beveridge the Sen
ate decided TO devote next Thursday to the
consideration of Alaskan legislation.
