Wonder Over Complaints.
THE CRUISER BoGATYR.
Believed to Have Been Repaired and
Fitted for Service.

ST. PETERSBURG. July Is. 1903 pm.-It
is possible that the fourth ship of the Vlad-
vostok squadron. now off the Japanese
coast. is the cruiser BOgatyr, as the repairs
to that vessel were known some time ago
to have been nearly completed.
A private letter received here from Vlad-
vostok. dated June %. gives the first au-
thentic account of the mishap to the Bo-
gatyr, from which it appears the cruiser,
with Rear Admiral Jessen on board went
out in pursuit OF a Japanese cruiser. The
fog was so thick that the captain caused
his protest against attempting to navigate
the Bogatyr to be entered in the log book,
but Rear Admiral Jessen insisted on pro-
ceeding.
few minutes afterward the cruiser
struck on the rocks. Mines were imme-
diately placed around the vessel as protec-
ton against the japanese and it required
a week for the other Russian cruisers to
haul the Bogatyr off. She was dry-dock ed
May %, and 1t was then supposed that her
injuries would be repaired in five week s.
Vice Admiral Skrydloffs order of the day
of June reporting the successful floating
of the Bogatyr with the congratulations Of
Viceroy Alexieff, was published this morn

Secrecy Over Baltic Squadron.

With the approaching departure of the
Baltic squadron for the far east extra pre-
cautions are being taken to prevent the
publication of news of the movements or
condition of the Russian ships. The news
papers are strictly forbidden to mention
their names. and even foreign news dis
patches referring to the Russian vessels
ere not passed by the censor.
The army organ believes 1t is scarcely
possible for Gen. Oku to advance until the
Takushan column reaches Tangchi. 1t
pc.nts out that before Kai-Chou it took
eighteen days for Oku to cover twenty
miles. arguing that his slowness may be
due to hesitation as to where to deliver q
blow, and that possibly 1t is his intention
to again devote his chief energies to Port
Arthur.
The Novoe Vremya today says:
The British must not compare the pr ss-
ent conflict with the Boer war They had
100000 Beers against Great Britain. We
have 50,0O0O00 Japanese against great Rus
sia. But in both cases. little Britain and
little Russia met with initial difficulties on
account of the enormous distance they had
to dispatch their armies"

MAY SAVE Interest ON
THE NEW BOND ISSUE

Yesterday Governor Carter received
a cablegram from Secretary Atkinson,
in Washington. saying that Mr.. Atkin-
son had reason to think that he could
sell the proposed new issue &C Terri
torial bonds with interest at four per
cent per annum instead of at four and
a half per cent, as had been originally
proposed.
This was matter of some moment,
as the saving to the Territory would
be material in the event that the
bonds sold at the same price bearing
the lower rate of interest, and the Gov
ernor at once called Territorial Treas
urer Campbell for conference.
1t was agreed, as Secretary Atkin-
son had asked for advice, to cable him
that his action in the matter should
depend upon the price obtained for the
bonds. A sale of bonds bearing four
| per cent interest at par would be bet
ter for the Territory in a monetary
way than a sale Of four and one-halt
per cent bonds at premium of, say,
five per cent. Accordingly, word was
cabled to the Secretary to this effect
and the matter is up to him. 1t is
probable, however, that there will be
some further cable conference.
, OF course. If Secretary Atkinson finds
: that he can dispose of four per cen
bonds to advantage equal to four anC
half per cents, it will be necessar,

End Of Troubles at

Two hundred and fifty Koreans were

terday in an endeavor to break the
strike Of the japanese there, out of
which grew the riot call for the po-
lice on Thursday night.
There are nine hundred men on strike
now,. their grievances being various
Among other things the japanese claim,
that they should have higher pay be-
cause sugar is worth more now than
1t was when they went to work. The
fact that they are not working on a
sliding scale cuts no ice whatever with
them. They argue that the boss is
getting more money and so they should.
Then, they do not like the way in which
trash is dumped upon the cane fields,
they demand that couple of lunas who
are personally Objectionable to them
shall be fired, and lastly they do not
like their interpreter, Japanese
preacher of the name of Sek, and de-
mand that the job be given to one Mori-
kama. This man was taken down to.
the plantation yesterday and so the
demand that he be employed will prob
ably be granted.
AS to the rest, the demands of the
men are now under consideration, but
there is small likelihood Of a settle

q hard lot of spanese hanging about

A delegation from the Anti-Saloon

Hon. Geo. r. Carter Governor Terri
tory of Hawaii, Honolulu.
Dear Sir:-The Honolulu Anti-Saloon
League at its meeting yesterday passed
and endorsed resolution to the fol-
lowing effect:
Resolved. That the Honolulu Anti-Sa-
loon League heartily endorses and ap-
proves of the efforts made by Governor
Carter to have the laws of the Terri
tory strictly carried out; and especially
his efforts to eradicate the Illicit sale
of Intoxicating liquor.
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
league that the interests of temperance
and fair play demanded the passage
at the coming session of a local option
law and that such a measure should
contain a provision that the expenses
Of any election held under 1t should be

therefor. Very respectfully,
