DULY NOTIFIED THE GOVERNMENT
In Many Cases No Action Was Taken
When War is Over Bill for

London, July 29-Russia has filed a
formal protest at the foreign office
against British shipments Of contra
band to Japan
The Associated Press learns that the
Russian government since the begin.
ming Of the war has carefully watched
the manufacture OF goods Intended for
the use Of the japanese government.
ana as soon as It was established that
such goods were about to be shipped to
hostile destination the facts were Of
fciolly communicated to their govern
ment with the request that measures
pe taken TO nut stop to Il. II is tur-
ther asserted that i'm many cases the
government has not taken action. and II
Is understood that when the war ends
RUSSIA proposes To present n bill for
damages to the British government
which VIII Offset the indemnities
claimed for the seizures of British
steamers.
II Is also learned by the Associated
Press that Russia does not intend to
hasten the settlement Of the right of
the vessels OF the volunteer fleet to pass
the Dardanelles since, n negotiations
on the subject were conducted at this
time. as desired by Great Britain, Rus
sia might be forced by the existing sit

The Withdrawal NOrthward OF

Absolutely Necessary.
KUROPATKIN IS IN A BAD FIX,

st. Petersburg, July 29,--dO;lO p. n.y.
Since the Russian retreat from Ia
Tche Kiao and the taking Of New
chwang by the Japanese the feeling
here has grown suddenly more pesslu-
lstlc with the Japanese able to get
around Gen. Kuropatkln's right from
Newchwong, with their forces pressing

a japanese column threatening the
Russian communications above Lao

nounced IN these dispatches yesterday

"NewS" Man Writes on War, From Japan.

o the Satisfaction


the remarks of the journals with re-
gard 20 the suspicious occasion, the
"Chuo" realizes more than ever the
wisdom of II. J. NJ. the emperor IN
choosing Marshal Oyama and General
Kodama, now that they have embarked
on their voyage TO the front. In the
Marshal the "Journa" sees n man of
large mind and lovable frankness with
power OF grasping the general run
of things, In addition 10 immOyable
popularity, and In Gen. Kodama, and
officer of great astuteness and valor
and gifted with penetratiye faculty of
prompt decision and unerring insight
az well as foresight.
The "Jijl'' judges that the time for
the storming of the Port Arthur strong
hold Is fast approaching, and that the
contact with the Russian forces under
the direct command Of Gen. Kuropat-
kin with those of the japanese coming
the FIRST army is hourly drawing near.
AZ all events II expects TO see new
and general activity on the day Of the
lunding of Marshal Oyama and Gen.
Kodama, and that the war WILL from
then, take an onward, new and de-
Clsive turn. The "Nichi Nlchi" thinks
that the present war is tho greatest
calamity that has ever befallen Russia;
but IN view of the fact that she has
made herself the enemy Of civilization
and civilized nations by her acts of per-
hdy and shamelessnoss to say nothing
of brutal atrocities committed every

The "Kokumin' would not be a whit

marshal and his gifted lieutenant a
good voyage and glorious achieve

ing their dobarkaton an occasion for
holiday jolllhcation. The journal would

WAR EXPENSES.
Being informed that the expense OF
maintaining single division of the
japanese army at the front does not
exceed 100000 yen per month, with
no prospect of the amount increasing in
the future, the "Asahi" calculates that.

EVIDENCE POINTS THAT WAY.
Perpetrators Of Murders as Well as
Victims We're to be Selected
BY Lot

81, Petersburg, July 29--The name of
the assassin OF Interior Minister Won
Plehve Is given by the Bourse Gazette
as proleff, but this Is not confirmed
by the police who, If satisfied that they
have established the identity or even
the nationality Of the murderer, are
carefully guarding the facts perhaps
to throw his accompIces OF the scent,
Later the correspondent Of the AS
ISOLATED Press learned that while tho
Identity and nationality Of the assassin
ana his acomplice are still not definite
ly established, the police are making
progress In unrayelng the skein, They
are amazed to find how far-reaching
was the conspiracy. There is nothing
yet however, to prove It's connection
with that Of Gerschunin, The docu-
mcnts found show the existence Of n
wholesale plot to murder ministers, but
the most remarkable feature Is that
IL did not include the emperor who Is
distinctly declared to be unnvolYed.'
The capture of the accompices of the
murderer was effected under circum-
stances showing that the consplrators
pursued the very plan followed at the
time OF the assassination of Alexander
II. The accomplices then were posted
az several street corners In order that
II one man failed another might sue
coed. The same plan was adopted yes
tetday. The general public Is disposed
10 regard the crime as Intimately con-
nectcd with the far-reaching terrorist
plot revealed last summer by The arr
rest OF Gerschunin the Russian reYolu-
tlonary agltator at kieff, where he had
gone TO organize an attempt on the
omperors life at Saraon during the
ceremonies incident 10 the canoni2ation
OF 81 Seraphim. The subsequent trial
established the fact that Gerscnunin
WAS the head OF murderous Consplr-
acy similar to the Nihilist consplracics
OF the early eighties, the object of
which was to create reign II terror
In Russia by killing ministers, COVER
