AMERICAN DESTROYER
 BETWEEN BEELIGERENIS
SIGNIFICANT ACTION IN THE
 HARBoR OF SHANGHAI

Great Excitement Caused by Japanese
 Torpedo Boat Steaming in and Am
 choring Near Russian warship-Fol-
 lowed by the Chauncey Which De-
 IiberateIy Takes Up Position Between
 Them.
 Shanghai, Aug. 21.-Shanghai was thrown into a fever of excitement this afternoon by the arrival of Japanese torpedo boat which was sighted com ing in from the south at half-past four o'clock. She passed Woosung at full speed and started up the river Ju for Shanghai. The United States torpedo boat destroyer Chauncey slipped her cable and followed the Japanese de Istroyer. The Japanese boat was. cleared for action. She anchored off the Cosmopolitan dock where the Rus J sian cruiser Askold is undergoing re- pairs. The Chauneey. came to anchor practically between the dock and the Japanese destroyer. A foreign pilot ship reports having seen a Japanese battleship and two cruisers cruising sixty miles outside of Woosung. There are at present no Chinese men of war in this port, but the taotai has ltelegraphed that a Chinese cruiser will be sent immediately. The Russian con- sul general here lately refused to dis larm the Askold and the Russian torpe- do boat destroyer Grozovoi or to order them to leave the harbor.
 The taotai has notified the American lconsuI, MT. Goodnow, who is dean of the consular body, that China cannot Iprotect the foreign settlements. He lcontends that Russia ignores the orders Issued by China and that China has mot the means of making her obey them.
 Consul Goodnow has called a meeting Iof the consular body to take joint ae- ton for the protection of foreign in 1habitants. The Askold has docked ad- ljacent to the warehouses here of the lStandard Oil company which are val Iued at over million dollars. The lStandard oil Company has demanded lprotection for it's property from Consul llGoodnow.
 The dock where the Askold lies is lowned by British interests. On one lside of this dock is German and Dutch property and on the other side Ameri- lean property.
 l There are eight American, one Ger Iman, two British and four French war Iships here.

4 SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT
THREE arEN INJURED IN SMASH
 UP NEAR BERLIN

Down Hill at High Rate of
 speed When one of the Front Tires. {. Bursts-aIachine swerves Striking .
 Telegraph Pole and Throwing occu-
 pants Outcome Man in Critical Com
 dltion--Party from Hartford.
 Berlin, Conn, Aug. 21.-Going down the steep hill between this town and Kensington this morning at a high rate of speed, a big automobile in which were three Hartford men and chauffeur was wrecked on account of the bursting of a tire and two of the occupants, Ed ward Hale and N. B. Bernard, are now in the New Britain hospital suffering from serious injuries. William Sullivan was also taken to the hospital soon af- ter the accident but was able to leave later in the day. The chauffeur was thrown in the gutter but escaped injury.
 It is considered remarkable that none |of the men was killed as the machine dashed at full speed into telegraph pole wrecking it completely. It was go- ing down the hill at a good rate when a forward tire burst, which caused the |macfine to swerve toward the trolley tracks. The angle at which the car strucy the rail was a sharp one and as the tracks are well above the ground at that place the automobile was thrown up in the air several feet and turned over on it's side after striking teie- graph pole throwing the occupants in all directions.
 Hale was rendered unconscious, there being a bad cut on his head, and the others, with the exception of the chauf- X feur, were more or less injured.
 Dr. Christian dressed the wounds and sent the three injured men to the hos Ipital in an ambulance. It was stated to. might that Hale had concussion of the brain and his condition is somewhat | critical.

When the trusty, who has charge Of the tier in which Nelson was confined. started in to clean the cells, shortly after o'clock, he found Nelson hanging from the door of his cell. his knees almost touching the ground. The man was dead and the trusty notified the jail authorities, who in turn notified Acting Examiner Eliot.
 The body was taken to the under taking rooms os Lewis 6 Maycock, where it awaits some one to claim it.
 Nelson was sentenced to a fine of 8 and costs of $7.14 in the city court Monday last. and as he could not pay he was sent to jail for fifteen days He would have been liberated on August 30 had he lived. When he was arrested he said that he was thirty-eight years old, that he was a Norwegian by birth, carriage painter by trade, that he re- sided at the corner of Court and Arti- gan streets. and that he was not mar ried He has been arrested several times before for intoxication during the Hast Sour or five years.

At about that point the fry of the ele- ments seemingly divided and with a roar descended on the Twin Cities and their environs. The dead:

 It tore off two spans of the High bridge as completely as if they had been unbolted from the rest of the structure and carted away by work men.

SURPRISE IN LONDON.
Caused by Reported Action of the
 American Destroyer.

London, Aug. 21. The intervention of the American squadron at Shanghai in the Japanese operations against the Russian cruiser Askold created consid- erable surprise in official and diplomatic circles here. The Japanese legation was at first inclined to believe that the re- port that the United States torpedo boat destroyer Chauncey steamed into a po- sition between the Japanese torpedo boat and the Russian cruiser was a Shanghai fake" as it had understood that the American government would not object to offensive action against Russian warships in case of their fail- ure to observe Chinese neutrality.
 An official of the legation said: If the report is not untrue the American commander. must have had good reaso1 for his action, such as the protection of American interests, which would have been endangered by flying shells"

MUST KEEP sULTAN's PLEDGE.
American Minister Gives Notice to Tur-
 kish Authorities.

kish Authorities.
 Constantinople, Aug. 21.-A note from American Minister Leishrnan, dated Au- gust 16, was handed to the Turkish au- thorities within twelve hours after the receipt by the minister of the Turkish not of Monday h this note MT. Leish- man holds the government to it's solemn undertaking, coming direct from the sultan, respecting equal treatment with other nations for the United States con- corning the question of educational in- stitutions.
 This allusion to the impartial pledge apparently embarrassed the porte, which had previously announced that it would ignore the formal verbal assur- ances which Minister Leishman declared he had received.
 It is considered improbable that the porte will reply to the minister's note, and, therefore, the question is looked upon as shelved pending the execution of the process of recognition, when, 1t is considered not improbable, fresh diffi- culties will arise.
 Notwithstanding the assertion by Iz- get Pasha, the secretary of the palace, that S25, ,000 had been deposited as com pensation due to an American citizen al Smyrna for land illegally taken, no such deposit has yet been made.

 John seneno. a jeweler, who resides over his store at 69S Grand avenue had Ia narrow escape from being killed be- tween two cars near the corner of Church and Chapel streets about o. |clock yesterday afternoon. MT. Seneno was riding on a car which came to this lcity from Derby. Just before the ear |got to the corner it stopped to let a Woodmont car turn the corner into Chapel street.

FIGHTING IN PARAGUAY.
An Artillery Engagement Won by the
 ReyolutionIsts.

heSOAutlOnAatSs
 Buenos Ayres, Aug. 2i.--An artillery engagement has been fought between the San Joeomino battery of the Para- guayan army and body of revolution ists, in which the latter succeeded in dislodging the guns of the government force. The losses on either side is not stated.
 There has been no bombardment at Asuncion the capital of Paraguay since last reports.
 The insurgents have established a provisional government, with the cap ital at Villa del Pillar d12 miles from Asuncion1. and have nominated Gener- al Ferreira. their leader. for president, and Gonzalez Novero for vice president. Four secretaries also have been named. One of these, Deputy Soler. has started for Rio Janeiro and other capitals to |endeavor 10 secure the recognition of the revolutionists as belligerents by the various governments. This is talk en to indicate that rapid operations by the insurgents have been impeded through the non-bombardment of the capital, owing to the intervention of the diplomatic corps at Asuncion.
 Despair is felt in the capital over the failure os the negotiations for set clement of the difficulties. All imports have been suspended and articles os prime necessity are hardly Iobtainable at famine prices.
 The arrival of the Argentine gunboat which was dispatched last week for the scene of the trouble. has not been reported and torpedo boat destroyer, has been sent in search of the missing vessel.
