SOCIALISTS ARE
 AGAINST THE WAR
RUSSIAN AND JAPANESE DELE GATES SHAKE HANDS PUBLICLY AT INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS AT AMSTERDAM.

Amsterdam. August 14.-The interna- tional socialists and trades union congress opened here today. There was great ap- plause when Vice President Katayama of Japan and Plexharoff of Russia public- ly shook hands.
 Vice President Katayama, speaking in English said: T am glad to find a dele- gate here from Russia, with which coun- try our country Is waging one of the most disastrous wars that has ever done violence to the fraternity of nations. Ja- panese socialists, ever since 1896 have ex- pected a socialist revolution in Japan"
 V. P. Plekharoff, replying said that the Russian people did not desire the war, but the government, which was the enemy of the people provoked Japan by it's ad- venturous policy.
 Continual disasters were now Russlas just reward. Even If Russia should be Vie- torious, M. Plekharoff said the Russian people would be the victims, but Japan was removing one of the feet of the colossus of despotism.
 The congress unanimously adopted the following resolutions proposed by the French delegate.
 At this day when czarism Is striken by war, the socialists here greet the Russian and Japanese proletaire, sacrificed and massacred by capitalism and governments rely upon socialists everywhere to oppose by all means in their power the extension or continuation of the war"

NEGROES ORGANIZE
 TO KILL WHITES
BAND IS CALLED "BEFORE DAY CLUB" AND LEADERS OF THE GANG ARE NOW UNDER ARREST IN AUGUSTA.

Augusta, August 14.-Will Cato. arrested as principal in the murder of the entire Hodges family at Statesboro, Ga, has confessed to the existence of an organized negro band in Bullock county whose ob- ject is the killing and robbing of white people. It is called the Before Day club" and holds nightly meetings in iso- lated places.
 Cato names Will Rainey as member who assisted in killing the Hodges family and afterwards firing their house. Other prisoners have given the names of the ringleaders and told where the records of the club. hidden in an old iron safe may be found. Searching parties are now out.
 The trial of the negroes Reed and Cato will take place Monday and people are pouring Into Statesboro by rail and pri- vate conveyances.
 A meeting of citizens held today de- eided to see that there would be no yio- lence but the presence of military 1t is feared would be provocative of disorder.
 It is asserted that information now in hand is sufficient to convict more than Reed and Cato of murder and arson and others of lesser crimes.
 At the trial the local military will be augmented by companies from Savannah.
 The military was ordered on duty at the Jail at Il o'clock. A crowd of men declared to Sheriff Kendrick that they meant to have Reed and Cato tonight. They were quilted by the sheriff who be- sought them to wait until the negroes had completed their confessions so that all the guilty might be found.
 Trouble is feared before day.

 The sitting of the council of ministers at which the settlement was agreed upon was a long one and it was not until near it's close that an agreement was reached.

Che Foo August 14.-G1 D. m.)-Details of the naval battle of August 10 reaching here show that the Russian battleship Czarevitch made a remarkable struggle. When the battle opened six battleships on each side opposed each other on al- most parallel lines in the vicinity of Round Island. The cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers on both sides were order ed out of range. When the fight had been under way for some time the cruisers and smaller craft became engaged. Final ly the czareviteh was surrounded by four battleships and two cruisers.
 She endured hours of terrible fighting pluckly. The shell which killed Admiral Withoft rebounded from the turret.

KAMIMURA GETS IN ACTION
 AFTER MONTHS OF WAITING
Attention Is Now Turned to Port Ar thur, Which Mlkado Says Must Be Captured Next at
 All Hazards.

Toklo. August 14-S p. m.-F'lags ara flying lanterns are glimmerlng and cries of "banzai" are ringing in the streets of Tokio. tonight in honor of the victories gained at sea by Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral Kamimura Underneath the jol- lity Of the popuace, lies feeling Of deepest qualification at the disposal of desperately serious problem of the war. The Russian squadron which confront ed Admiral Togo refused battle. It was stronger than Admirals Togo's squadron in battleships and armored cruisers and had 1t elected to fight the result might have altered the fortunes of war. The strength of the squadron which opposed Admiral Togo compelled him to draw ves- sels from the squadron under Vice Ad- miral Kammura and this left the Ja- panese navy poweriess to operate against the Russian yladlvostock squadron and unable to prevent the raids of these ves- sels
 Was an Expensive Rald.
 The raid conducted by the Vladivostoch squadron in July was extremely expen- sive and to the Japanese retaliation not only was tempting but It was demanded
 
 ever, grimly refused to make a diversion and stuck to Port Arthur It was con- fident that the harbor soon would be un- tenable for the Russian warships, that It would eventually get a fair fight in the open sea away from the Russian land batteries and that the Japanese would win. These calculations of the navy wore correct and the Russians with the chances even. have been hopelessly defeated
 Got Ills Chance Today.
 Vice Admiral Kamimura after months or weary and patient waiting finally got his chance at dawn today off Tsu Island. He sunk the Russian cruiser Rurik and sent the cruisers Gromoboi and Rossia fleeing back from the fight Japanese guns dominate the dock yards at Port Arthur and 1t would seem to be impossi- ble again to make seaworthy the Russian battleships which have returlHed to Port Arthur. It Is probable that the Russian battleship Czareyitch will disarm at Tsing Chou
 The best possible naval force that Rus sia can now concentrate at Vladivostock Is four cruisers.
 Eleven wounded officers and sixty-siz wounded men arrived at Sazebo today The imperial lrince Hiroyasu Kwacho, who holds the rank of commander in tho Japanese navy, was nit in the region of the heart. His wound. however, Is slight. The steamer Gaelic bound for Shanghai at 10 o'clock yesterday morning sighted a Russian cruiser. evidently the Novfk, steering southeast by east, this course showing her to be headed for Van Diemen strait. Van Diemen strait is about 120 miles south of Nagasalxi and 1t would be presumed from the Noviks going In this direction that she purposes to try to reach Vladiyostock by the seacoast of Japan.
