RELATIONS AGAIN STRAINED.
It Was Thought That Peru and Brazil
Were on Verge Of Agreement.

The relations between Peru and Brazil
are again strained, after 1t was supposed
that settlement was on the verge of be-
ing reached and DR.. Calderon, the Peru
Wan minister to Washington, has made
long oral presentati" of his country's diff
ficulties and grievances to Secretary Hay.
These relate particularly to the action of
the Brazilian government In preventing the
ascent of the Amazon by Peruvian vessels
carrying arms and munitions of war into
the Peruvian headwaters of that great
river 1t is alleged by Peru that these arms
are intended not for the soldiers of Peru,
but for the settlers and foresters in the
wild rubber country, to whom they are an
absolute necessity.
Secretary Hay has shown a great deal of
interest In the subject, and, impelled by a
desire to prevent a possible war between
two friendly republics. he has suggested to
the Brazilian government, through Minis
ter Thompson, at Petropolis, that the
United States government would be very
much pleased If Brazil and Peru would
confer In a spirit of mutual concession and
settle the vexed Acre question between
themselves or, if that is not possible, then
agree to submit the question to arbtra-
ton.

PRICES REGARDEn AS HIGH.
Valuation Of Land Wanted for sena
torial Office building.

Senators Cullom and Cockrell of the COM
mittee to supervise the preparation of plans
for an office building fersthe Senate and
TO acquire site, met Yesterday afternoon
in the room of the Senate committee on
foreign relations. Senator sGallinger. the
other member of the comfntttee, was abb
sent In New York attending the hearings
of the subcommittee on merchant marine.
of which he Is chairman
The committee had before Il the prices at
which property owners in the square north
Of the Capitol grounds proposed as site
for the Senate office bui1dlng were willing
to sell to the government. These prices
were far in excess Of the assessed value of
the property. After going over the list of
prices carefully the comnittee came to the
conclusion that they were sall excessive
and that 1T was not to the advantage of
the government to accept any of the offers.
The committee then Instructed Mr.. Elliott
WOODS superintendent of the Capitol to
call the matter to the attention of the Sec
retary OF the Interior in order that he
might bring condemnation proceedings for
acquiring the land. This has been done,
and every effort will be made to bring the
proceedings to close as SOON as possible.
1t Is expected that under these proceedings
the land can be obtained within two or
three months, although six or seven months
were taken up in the proceedings for secur
Ing square 600 on which the House of Rep
resenfatlyes office building is to be erected

MINES OUTSIDE ZONE.
Question of Protest Evokes Discussion
at St Petersburg.

ST. PETERSBURG, May %, 2:20 p.m.-
The British and American press reports of
possible protests against the laying of
mines in the waters of the Liao-Tung pen
insula, because of the danger to interna-
tional commerce. evoke much interest here
and are the subject of the general remark
that there was no talk of protests while
Russian ships were being blown up, ii only
beginning after the Japanese ships met
with disaster.
Government circles are inclined to think
the reports of possible protests by the
powers are confined to the press. Neither
the British nor the American embassies has
received instructions on the subject.
The Indications are that If the question of
laying mines beyond the three-mile limit
becomes the subject of a formal protest 1t
will raise a new question of international
law. growing out of the increased range of
modern guns. The three-mile limit was
established In the days when that distance
represented the maximum range. but If
ships can now lie eight or ten miles
away and yet reach the coast with their
projectiles II is argued that the defenders
have a perfect right to take such military
measures as they choose within the range
OF the enemy's guns.

PORT ARTHUR BoMBARDEp.
Portion Of japanese Fleet Fires Many
Shots

CHEFOO. May %. 10 p.m.-A portion of
the japanese fleet bombarded Port Arthur
at IL o'clock yesterday morning. The at
tack was witnessed by a Frenchman, who
left Dalny on the night of the I'D. ar
riving here tonight. He says that eight
large warships circled before the entrance
of Port Arthur harbor for one hour, firing
broadsides at intervals of ten minutes.
Up TO the time this Frenchman left Dalny
everything was quiet there, but an attack
on the part of the Japanese was expected
hourly. The military and civil officials of
Dalny were ready to leave. Only few
civilians remain there.
The attempt made about a fortnight ago
TO destroy the docks and piers at Dalny
was not successful. and after the receipt of
the news of the loss OF the Japanese battle
ship Hatsuse, Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel COM
mander of the military forces at Port Ar
thur, ordered that the docks and piers be
not destroyed
The Japanese are in force at Pitsewo and

PORTS TO REMAIN OPEN
RUSSIA'S POLICY CONCERNING
SIBERIAN TRADE.
Said to Have Been Considered Before
Opening of War-Alex-
ieff's Action.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 25, 2:2O p.m-
The Associated Press is Informed on high
governmental authority that the opening OF
all the ports of the Siberian littoral al
though precipitated by the necessities OF
war, had been under consideration for
months and represents a distinct policy
inaugurated by Russia, looking to the de-
velopment of eastern Siberia.
The effect of closing the former free port
of Vladivostok had not proved a success
and led to the consideration of the ad-
visibility of reopening 1t.
Action in the matter was haStened by
viceroy AIexien. who telegraphed to the
emperor advising the immediate adoption
of the new policy.
Order to Remain in Force.
The Associated Press is further informed
that Russia has no intention of resembling
it upon the conclusion of the war, but that
the ports viii remain open to foreign COM
merce for an indefinite period, and in the
event of a successful termination the pro-
visions of the decree will probably be ex-
tended to the territory covered by the Rus
sian lease of the Liao-Tung peninsula.
Goods entering without duty can be shipped
westward SO far as Baikal, where the
European Russian tariff viii be imposed.
While the opening of Eastern Siberia to
foreign trade will be of great advantage
to the United States and Great Britain, the
emperor'S advisers were moved to adopt
the policy strictly on account of its eco
nomic advantages in the Development of
RusSia's far eastern possessions.

CLOSE UP THE RIVER
JAPS STOP MERCANTILE TRAFFIC
AT YoNGAMPHo.
None but Government Craft Allowed to
Ascend - Rendezvous Of
Third Army.

SEOUL, May "a, 80 pm. delayed in
transmission).-The Japanese authorities
have closed all mercantile traffic at Yon-
gampho and none but government craft
are allowed to ascend the river, which,
since the occupation of the Manchurian
shore by Japan, has been open. The meas
ures taken are similar to those adopted at
Chnnampo prior to the landing of the sec
ond Japanese army on the Lao Tung PEN
insula.
The Yalu river Is now presumably the
rendezvous of the third army or independ-
ent force. part of which has already landed
at Takushan.
A body of Cossacks one thousand strong,
is now reported near the port of Song Chon,
$50 of whom separated at Kilju, proceeding
southwest through the mountains.
Would Feed the Cossacks.
The Korean governor of the province of
Hamyeng, always a Rus'sophile, but now
evidently intimidated by the constant ap-
pearance of the Cossacks, has advised the
prefect of Kyonn to prepare supplies of
wheat fowl and eggs for 1.6O Cossacks
whose arrival is expected, and other coast
magistrates are instructed to follow suit.
Thirty engineers have returned from the
north, having completed the survey Of the
Wiju railroad from Seoul to Ping Yang In
the space of forty-eight days.
The Emperor of Korea is SO well plea ased
at the reported bravery Of garrisons To-
Gated throughout the north that he desires
to send them 100000 yen worth of military
stores, They had been previously ordered
to subsist upon the country, and this sud
den outburst of generosity is probably due
to the war ministry's desire to effect an
enormous squeeze of the public purse.

There are two Takushans on the Lao
Tung peninsula. One lies about forty miles
southwest of Antung and the other is stu

wan bay. The former is the point at which
