BOWEN PROTESTS
Against Seizure Of Asphalt Property
bv Castro

Minister Bowen has cabled the State De-
partment from Caracas that he has lodged
a strong protest with President Castro
against the action of the Venezuelan courts
in selling the property of the New York and
Bermudez Asphalt Company. The receiver
appointed by the court is in possession of
the companys property at Guanaco, sup
ported by two Venezuelan warships.
Through unofficial sources 1t is learned
that President Castros action in the mat
ter of the asphalt company has been long
considered 1t is intimated that when in
the midst OF his last desperate struggle
with the rebels Castro made promises to
certain persons and corporations in return
for TIMER support financially in his contest
These promises were said to involve the
transfer to those people of concessions at
that time In the possession of foreign cor
porations.
1t is doubted whether Mr. Bowens pro-
test will be effective at this stage but the
State Department is not disposed to move
in a hurry, and is awaiting the arrival by
mail Of the detailed reports made by Mr.
Bowen before proceeding further. The de-
partment Is naturally reluctant to take Is
sue with any regular judicial tribunal, and
In this case 1t must be made quite clear
that there has been miscarriage of JUS
tice in the Venezuelan supreme court before
a demand is made upon Castro for indem-
nifty for the losses suffered by the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt Company
There are several rather nice legal points
involved in this case, and until the depart
ment is supplied with a copy of the conces-
sion under which the asphalt company is
working. and has been reliably advised as
to whether or not the company has carried
out all of its obligations under that conces-
sion little can be done toward recovering
the company's property.

PARKER TAKES A TRIP
JUDGE LEAVES HOME FIRST TIME
SINCE NOMINATION.
Visit Thought to Be of Great Import

pressed Intentions.

ESOPUS, N. Y. August 5.-Judge Parker
left Esopus today for the first time since
his nomination, taking West Shore train
northbound, his ticket purchased for
Kingston, but his destination unknown
The pilgrimage was most unexpected. Not
the remotest intimation would Judge Par
ker give as to his destination or the pur-
pose of the journey. Everybody was GER
tain however, that Kingston was only a
way station on the route.
So positive have been Judge Parker's ex-
pressions of intention to remain at Esopus
throughout the campaign that those who
knew of his journey today assumed that ii
involved matters of great Importance. This
much was not denied at Rosemount

KINGSTON, N. Y, August 5.-Judge
Parker arrived here at 1O:45 am. He rode
from Esopus in an ordinary day coach
chatting all the way with personal friends
whom he met on the train. He was not
accompanied, even by his private secretary,
and few persons on the car recognized him
At Kingston he left the train without
giving intimation as to his intentions. He
had his shoes shined at the station and
again boarded the train for Albany.

NAVAL RECRUITING SUSPENDED.
Effect of a Decision Of the Accounting
Officers.

Orders were issued at the Navy Depart
ment today recalling the three navai re-
cruiting parties which are travelling IN diI-
ferent parts Of the country for the purpose
of securing recruits for the navy. Ihis ac-
ton is due to recent decision OF the con-
troller Of the treasury that officers ensaeeo
on recruiting duty are not entitled TO ac-
tual travelling expenses, hut may be allow
ed the usual mileage. This mileage does
not equal the actual expenses Of the officers
by large margin, for the reason That tneir
itinerary compels them to make frequent
stops at short intervals, for which the mile
age allowances are small compared with
the actual living expenses
One Of the recruiting parties is now oper-
ating in central New York, another IN

Kuropatkin's Detailed Report
of Russian Losses
FROM JULY 80 TO AUG. l
GREATEST LOSS BETWEEN SIMOU-
CHENG AND HAICHENG.
Most Desperate Fighting on Saimatsze
Road-Single Regiment Lost
25 Per Cent.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 5, 2:15 pm
Detailed reports reaching the war office
from General Kuropatkin's generals show
that the Russian losses, July 30, July 81
and August l. did not exceed 4,OOO. The
japanese are believed to have lost at least
an equal number.
From comprehensive review OF the
fighting obtained by the Associated Press
il appears that most of the Russian losses
were sustained on the Saimatsze road and
between Simoucheng and Haicheng. The
two divisions of the late General Keller
corps did not make a serious resistance at
the Yangze Pass, falling back on Liandian-
sian with scarcely any casualties.
Similarly General Stakelberg's and Cen
eral Zaroubaieff's troops retired upon An
shanshan, half way between Halo heng ana
Lao Yang, without heavy fighting or loss
The greatest number of casualties was
sustained by General Herschelmann, VINO

EX-SENATOR TOWNE
THINKS THE DEMOCRATS WILL
CARRY INDIANA.
Gold Men Are With the Party Now and
Bryan's Followers Will Work
for the Ticket.

Ex-senator Charles A. Towne of Mime
sofa and Tammany Hall, and bright light
in the Bryan and silver wing of the de-
mocracy, was in the city today on his way
home from a speaking tour In the middle
west.
1T Is my honest opinion" said Mr.
Towne to a Star reporter this afternoon,
that the democrats have a good chance
to carry Indiana. have been In the state
have talked with democrats who were all
shades of democrats in -1696 and 1900; but
who are only of one MIND now, and the
result Of my observation leads me to the
conclusion that it Is quite within the range
of political probabilities that we will carry
the state.
"At the public testimonial In honor of
Mr.. Taggart, after his appointment as ma
tienal chairman, some of the most en-
thusiastic participants were men whom I
know were active and influential among the
gold democrats four and eight years ago.
They are with the party now and believe
in the probability of success.
Bryan Men Will Help the Ticket.
Il think that almost without exception
the so-called Bryan men will turn in and
help the ticket to their utmost and vote
for it on election day. talked with them
and talked to them and found them of that
bent OF MIND.
Il told them that in my judgment when
the democratic national convention voted
to send that reply to Judge Parker it voted
the gold plank into the platform just as
Enthusiastically as if stated in words But l
tod them further it made, no difference in
this case, because the money question is
not at issue in this campaign.
II shall work for the ticket and talk for it,
and l think Mr.. Bryan will be very active
in the campaign in behalf of the ticket.
Our chances in Indiana and New York are
excellent, and when we carry those two
states it is mighty likely that some others
will be found in the procession"
Mr.. Towne was very much interested in
the dispatches from New York reciting an
alleged break between Tammany and the
Parker forces, with McCarren as the bone
of contention, but refrained from discussing
the situation He said, however, he thought
that Judge Parker would succeed In
Strengthening out any enlargement that
may now appear imminent in Manhattan

MAY TAKE OFF UNIFORMS.
Secretary Taft Revokes Order of Prede-
cessor-Oficers Happy.


One Of the first acts Of Secretary Taft on
returning from his vacation was the issu-
ance Of circular authorizing officers on
duty in the War Department to wear civil
ian dress until further orders" The Or
der requiring the wearing of uniforms
while on duty was issued by ex-Secretary
Root about two years ago. 1t was one Of
the results of the attendance of Generals
Corbin, Chaffee and Wood at the German
military maneuvers in the spring Of that
year. Those officers found that military
men in Europe invariably wore their uni
forms while en- duty, regardless of Its
character, and they recommended the adop-
ton Of similar practice in this city.
Since then the appearance Of army officers
in uniform has been a familiar sight In the
War Department and on the streets OF this
city.
The officers, as a rule, disliked the re-
Snlting conSpicu BUSINESS, but tney nau no
choice in the matter and were compelled TO
wear their army clothes regardless o1
comfort or desire.

JAPS LANDING TROOPS.
Many Recruits Discriminating at Nlu-

dispatch to the Bourse Gazette from Lao
Yang says
According to Chinese reports the Jap
anese landed 5000 men at the port OF
Niuchwang July 81. and the further disem-
barkation of troops is proceeding
The temper of the Russian troops In view
of the continued retreats is perhaps accu-
rately reflected by the following brief mes
sage sent by one of the Associated Press
Russian correspondents from Lao Yang:
The orders to evacuate Haicheng arc
condemned by many. 1t Is heartbreaking
to be constantly falling back, but there
must be an end to this retrograde move
ment. a little more patience To advance
only requires manliness.
Leniency for the Jews.
As evidence of the increasing leniency
for the Jews, the exclusion of Jews from
the ranks of barristers. followed since 1889,
is becoming less rigorous, and 1t Is consid-
cred probable that complete removal OF
the disabilities will result. The present re-
strictions have many drawbacks. The Jews,
unable to become barristers, monopoliZe
the posts of lawyers Office assistants, and
are gradually attracting most of the busi-
ness to themselves. employing barristers to
represent them in court. The bar assocla-
tions and courts have repeatedly asked a
return to the old order of things.

STUBBORN FIGHTING.
Details of Recent Important Engage
mentS.

GENERAL. KUROKIS HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN THE FIELD. July Is, via Seoul
delayed in transmission).-From later in
formation. yesterdays engagement proves
to have been more general and more i'm
portant than could be appreciated by OBJ
servers at Molten pass. whose vision of the
field was bounded by nigh hills guarding
both sides and whose reports were written
before the Japanese pursuit of the Russians
down the valley was ended
To-day 1t is Impossible to describe ac-
curately some of the most important fea-
tu-es of the fight, because the number of
Russian troops engaged can oIly be esti-
mated from the regimen ntal insignia on their
uniforms and the conflicting stories told by
prisoners, while censorship prevents giving
the number of organizations present on the
japanese side. 1t is believed that seven
Russian regiments participated In the bat
tie. to which was opposed at the most one
brigade with one or more additional bat
,5lionS OF japanese troops.
Scene of Hardest Fighting.
The hardest fighting was seen to the
right of Molten pass, IN the valley ap
preaching the japanese line of defense,
which lay between high wooded hills.
Russian contingent consisting of
regiment or more attempted. by advancing
through the valley, to gain the Japanese
position by thanking movement from
behind the pass. but was repulSed after an
action lasting until sunset when the Japa-
nese troops abandoned pursuit. and the
Russians, who stubbornly contested the
ground, were forced back away toward the
town of Gaboto. One japanese company
lost all OF its officers in this action and
sergea ma jor was finally in command.
The expulsion of the Russian troops from
the valley leading to Molten pass was
greatly assisted by a Japanese force con-
sisting of a battalion of infantry and sew
eral guns sent from Japanese brigade
stationed on the left of Kofantry valley,
which attacked the Russians on their flank
menacing their rear and line of retreat.
Japs Withdrew to Main Defense Line
On the morning of July II the japanese
outpost line protecting Molten pass was
intrenched on the lower ridge, where the
fight occurred on July with few pickets
stationed ahead. Maj. Gen. Okawaki, ex-
pecting an attack. had ordered the outposts
IL confronted by a superior force to with
draw to the main line of defense on the
highest ridge, where the pass was narrow
est The outposts discovered company Of
cavalry and a large body of Infantry ad-
yancing in the darkness at about 2.30 am.
and retired according to instructions.
When firing began about am. the Rus
