REPORT THAT GENERAL ZAsSA

The day has brought no news of q

SURPRISE TO RUSSIANS.
Appearance Of Transport Lena at Sar
Francisco.


st. Petersburg, Sept. 14.-The au.
thorities here profess ignorance of the
circumstances surrounding the case of
the Russian transport Lena now at
San Francisco. A high officer of the
admiralty says that her appearance at
San Francisco was surprise, as Vice
Admiral Skrydloff had not notified
them that the Lena was going to San
Francisco from Vladivostok and they
have no information of the purpose of
her cruise. The foreign Office also
states that ii is without advice on the
subject. Nevertheless, If the ship is
in need of repairs and coal Russia will
expect the United States to ignore the
reported Japanese demand that she be
forced to leave within twenty-four
hours and to permit the necessary re-
pairs to be made and also to allow the
Lena to take on board sufficient coal
to enable her to reach the nearest
Russian home port. 1t i1not believed,
however, that Russia would object to
the stipulation that if the Lena is al
lowed to coal that the ship shall un-
dertake not to interfere with neutral
commerce pending her arrival at a
home port
In unofficial quarters there are two
versions of the Lena's mission Ac-
c0rding to the one which is most gen.
orally accepted the Lena was sent out
to stop contraband of war bound for
Japanese ports. Another version of
the Lena's mission is that she is to
examine into the possibilities of the
Cape Horn route for the Baltic squad
ron.

PROBLEM OF WHAT TO DO WITH
RUSSIAN TRANSPORT LENA
AT SAN FRANCISCO.
VESSEL BADLY IN NEED OF REPAIRS
NAVAL EXPERTS SAY 1T WILL
TAKE SIX WEEKS TO MAKE
SHIP SEAWORTHY.

Washington. Sept. 14.-After wrestl
ing for two days with the problem OF
what disposition to make of the Rus
sian transport Lena, now in port al
San Francisco, the officials of the
state, navy and commerce and labor
departments have turned the whole
matter over to the president
Captain Pillsbury of the bureau oi
navigation, navy department, upon the
receipt of the report of Admiral Good
rich covering a statement of Lieuten
ant Commander Herbert as to the con
dition of the Lenas boilers, communi-
Gated the information to the president
and at the same time held confer
ence with Acting Secretary Murray OF
the department of commerce and la.
bor
1t was ascertained that the officials
were determined in their action by
section 528S of the revised statutes,
contained in circular No. 29 of the de-
partment of commerce and labor. This
section reads as follows:
''It shall be lawful for the president
or such person as he shall empower
for that purpose to employ such part
of the land Or naval forces of the
United States or of the militia thereof
as shall be necessary to compel any
foreign vessel to depart from the Unit.
ed States in all cases in which, by the
laws of nations or the treaties with
the United States, she ought not to
remain within the United States"
Under the construction put upon
this section 1t was held that the presi-
dent alone had authority to act.

OPINION OF NAVAL EXPERTS
SIX WEEKS NECESSARY TO PUT
RUSSIAN VESSEL IN CONDI-
TION TO SAIL.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Secretary
Morton has received a report from
Rear Admiral Goodrich, commander
in-chief of the Pacific fleet, stating that
he had an inspection made of the Rus
sian ship Lena at San Francisco and
that she was genuinely in need of re-
pairs. The report shows that to make
temporary repairs to the boilers and
machinery of the Lena, according to
the naval experts opinion, would re-
Quire about six weeks time. The cap
tain of the vessel claims that it needs
new boilers and if the request to be
allowed to put these in is granted no
less than eight months time will be
required to make the change. State
and navy department officials were in
conference during the morning and
the indications were that the tenn
porary repairs would be allowed.
Minister Takahira called at the
state department during the day and
had a short talk with Mr.. Adee, the
acting secretary. The minister, hav-
ing received the report of the yessePs
arrival from the Japanese consul gen.
eral in San Francisco, said that he
called simply to acquaint the state de-
partment off cially with the fact of
the Lena's appearance in the harbor OF
San Francisco, but he did not lodge
any protest against her presence nor
make any demand as to her With
drawal. He assured Mr. Adee that he
was entirely willing to allow the Unit
ed States government to deal with
this case without interference or sug-
gestion from him.

WATCHING RUSSIAN VESSEL.
Destroyer Paul Jones Anchored Close
to the Lena.

San Francisco, Sept 14.-Early in
the day the destroyer Paul Jones. Lieu
tenant G. G.. Dawson commanding, was
sent TO an anchorge off the Union iron
works close to the Russian transport
Lena. Later the Paul Jones was rein
forced by a steam launch from the
Marblehead, in charge of Midshipinan
Davis, with an armed crew and four
marines with loaded rifles and belts
filled with ammunition. Assisted by
the launch as picket and patrol boat
the Paul Jones will keep a close watch
over the Lena as long as she remains
in port to see that the neutrality laws
are rigidly enforced, both for and
against her Vigilance is being exer-
cised that no fanatic, Japanese or
other, creeps up on the Lena for the
purpose OF doing her harm and pos
sibly repeating the Maine incident and
equal vigilance is being exerted to see
that she herself receives no military
help In the shape of arms, ammunition,
men or equipment, or any coal beyond
the quantity TO which she is entitled,
namely, enough to carry her to the
nearest home port. Every boat that
approaches the Lena is arrested by
the alert launch until the officers in
charge are satisfied that the boats
errand is legitimate.
Captain John X Bulger, United
States inspector of hHlls and boilers,
acting under instructions from Col
lector OF the Port Stratton. has begun
an examination of the Lena's boilers.

IN THE CAUSE OF PEACE.
lnterparIiamentary Union Takes UP
important Matters.

st. Louis, Sept 1.-THE interparlia-
mentary union, whose mission to the
United States is to advance the cause
of peace and bring about, if possible,
universal International arbitration,
has taken up In earnest the important
matters before it.
The calling of another session of the
conference held at The Hague had al
ready caused heated debate in the
executive council and It's phraseology
was decided upon onls after a compro-
mise In which American wording pre-
ponderated.
Congressman Burton of Cleveland
was the spokesman of the council on
The Hague resolution.
The proposition TO undertake to Sc
cure intervention in the Far East was
presented by lie Comte Goblet d'Al-
viella of Belgium and DR. Gobat of
Switzerland submitted a resolution
dealing with international agreements.
No time was lost In reaching the
order Of business and lie Comte Goblet
d d'Alyiella presented the resolution
calling for interyention In the Russo
Japanese war. ne urged its adoption
at some length and in closing he urged
that the president of the United States
was quite the proper person to tender
mediation.
The only opposition to the resolu-
tion was that ii was not vigorous
enough, but the resolution was adopt
ed.
The new Hague conference PROPOSE
tion was next taken up. Congressman
Burton of Cleveland presented the
resolution and urged its adoption. The
resolution was supported enthusias-
tically and its adoption was unani-
mously voted.
BY this resolution President Roose-
welt is asked to call second session
of The Hagus conference.

JAPANESE FORCES ADVANCE.
Oyama's Armies Continue in Pursuil
of Russians.

Toxic, Sept. Marshal Oyama'
forces are advancing by easy stages
in pursuit OF General Kuropatkin' s
rear guard south of the Hun river, on
the road to Mukden. News OF further
japanese successes in rear guard en-
gagements Knropatkin is waging
against Marshal Oyama's troops was
received Monday. Rains continue III
the country through which the troops
are operating and may delay not only
Kuropatkin's retreat on Harbin, but
the Japanese advance beyond Mukden
Marshal Oyama could throw any of his
three generals-Kuroki, Nodzu or Oku
across the Hun river at one point OF
another to attack the Russian rear
guard in pitched battle. The prob
ability is. however, that the marshal
will hold off until Kuropatkin's rear
guard is north of Mukden, it being de
sirable for the japanese to cross the
Hun in strength before forcing an
other extensive engagement.

CAUSES GRAVE CONCERN.
Report That Chinese Troops Are Con
centrating in Lao Valley.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-THE re-
ports that Chinese troops are concen-
trating in the valley of the Lao river
are causing considerable concern here.
The Bourse Gazette thinks it is entire
ly probable that the Chinese govern
ment will formally propose TO under
take to guard and administer the ter
ritory actually occupied by the Japan
ese, adding:
ITO this Japan doubtless will readily
acquiesce, as it will relieve Japan OF
guarding her lines of communication.
In other words regular Chinese troops
will became auxiliaries of the Japan
ese and the Japanese army, thus re-
lieved of the necessity of protecting
its lines, stores and land transport,
will set free all the strength OF the
Japanese forces to operate against
Russia. China thus would become
actually the ally of Japan. If the re-
ports are confirmed not only Russia
but other powers must intervene to
show China what the limits of strict
neutrality mean
