Kings War Vessel Is
Kept Away From
Yinkow.
Russian Craft Hoists
Battle Flag in
Defiance.

ST. PETERSBURG, July Is, 4:25 a.
m-News from the front, both Off
cial and unofficial. is remarkably
scant. General Sakharoffs report,
which brings the situation up to July
10, does not mention the occupation
OF Ylnkow, but speaks of the Russians
driving out the Japanese from the
coast town of Huantichan, between
flnkow and kaichou. On the other
hand. according to General Sakharoff,
the advance to TatchekiaO is continu-
ing leisurely. The Japanese advance
eastward to Tatchekiao, while strong
parties are intrenching between Fen
shut and Molten passes.
A special dispatch from Lioayang,
the date of which is doubtful, though
seemingly about contemporaneous
with Lieutenant General Sakharoff's s
report, says:
"A British gunboat appeared off
Yinkow on July 10. The commander
wanted to enter the port to guard the
interests of the British residents, in
view of the probability that the town
may be shortly occupied by the Jap
anese. The gunboat Sivoutch hoisted
a battle flag, went out and requested
the British vessel to draw off. which
it did. 1t is reported the gunboat re-
turned later with two other vessels.
All of these put to sea that night.
THE enemy Is continuing to ad-
vance. General Mistchenko's force in
warm skirmishes south of Kanchi dis
covered a big force-of japanese NOV
ing toward Kanchi and Simautehen.
The groups of Japanese to the south
ward remain about stationary"

NEW YORK, July 17.-Henry G..

President of the United States. arrived
in this city tonight and is staying at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He asked to-
night what effect Judge Pafker's gold
standard telegram had in this part of
the East and how the work Of the con-
vention was generally regarded. When
told that there were rumors in some
sections that Bryan's followers were
now coming forward and taking con-
troll of affairs, he replied:
THAT cannot be so. l do not believe
it. There is less of the communistic
and socialistic feeling in the country to-
day than has existed for many years
and there will be no quarrels in the
Democratic party. 1 was on the sub
committee that made the st. Louis
platform and had an opportunity to
know something of the feeling. I sat
between Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Bryan and
I can assure you there is no truth in
the rumors Of war in the party"
Davis spoke very highly of Bryan
and characterized him as Strong.

BERLIN, July 1.-THE National
Zeitung this morning, Declares the con-
fiscation of the mail sacks aboard the
North German Lloyd steamship Prinz
Heinrich by the Russian volunteer
feet steamship Smolensk in the Red
Sea on Friday to have been unjuStifia-
BILE and indefensible under interna-
tionaI law, even if the presence of con-
traband was reported. Postal matter,
the Zeitung declares, should be eX-
empted from confiscation and it is to
be expected that the Russian Govern
ment Will Immediately rectify the err
ror of the Smolensk.
ST PETERSBURG, July 17.-The
news that the Russian Voluneeer fleet
steamships Smolensk and st. Peters
burg, now cruising in the Red Sea, are
stopping ships of neutral nations and
searching them for contraband of war,
is causing the liveliest interest in all
the question, believes herself to be
within her rights and neither fears nor
expects international complications. In
deed some of the powers may have
been sounded by Russia on the subject.
Nevertheless, foreign opinion is awaited
eagerly and more or less criticism is
expected.
Members Of the diplomatic corps are
keenly anxious to ascertain the views
their Governments will take of the
passage through the Dardanelles of
these vessels of the volunteer feet as
merchantmen and their subsequent
conversion into ships Of war. The gen
eral view in diplomatic circles. even
where sentiment is not particularly IA
vorable to Russia, is that while the
passage of the Dardanelles might
be considered a piece of sharp
practice on the part of Russia, it is
an accomplished fact and the powers
will not now regard it as violation
of the treaty of Paris, but will guard
against it's repetition.

Kuropatkin's Clever
Strategy Checks
Criticism.
All Russia Now Has
Faith in Army's
Commander.

ST. PETERSBURG, July lex
perts whQ recently were inclined to
criticize General Kuropatkin's manage
ment of affairs in the Far East declare;
as the situation develops, that his STRAIT
egy has proved SO far beyond re-
proach. He has successfully tided
over a pressing danger-how pressing
only those in close touch with the Far
East realize. His apparent mistake,
like the prolonged resistance offered by
Lieutenant General Zassulitch on the
Yalu. turn out TO have been acts OF
the highest military judgment. Cen
eral Kuropat1in then had so few ana
such poor troops at Liaoyang that
the Japanese would have had an easy
task crushing the main force Of the
Russians, had they been permitted to
cross the Yalu without severe punish
ment, and the thousands lost by Zas-
sulitch practically saved Liaoyang.
General Baron Stakelbergs march.
which also was criticized, is now ad-
mitted to have been necessary. The
rudiments of war are that the army
should be in constant touch with the
enemy, otherwise it would be impos-
sible to know the strength of its op-
ponents or to be informed of their
movements. General Stakelberg's
march was a reconnaissance on
grand scale, and not only enabled Cen
eral Kuropatkin to ascertain the
enemy's strength and disposition, but
materially disturbed the Japanese
plans relative to the siege of Port
Arthur, gradually drawing the bulk of
the japanese army to follow the re-
treating column and thus distracting
attention from the vulnerable spot be-
tween Laoyang and Mukden.
Meanwhile the men at Kuropatkin's
headquarters are improving. Fifty
thousand of the best troops from
European Russia have reached Lao
yang within a month and if the Rus
sian commander-in-ch should choose
now to accept a battle he will be able
to inflict a heavy blow. All Russia
is looking forward with confidence to
the issue of the fight.

TACOMA. Wash, July 17.-Nome ad-

bids fair soon to rival Nome in i'm
portance. Business is rushing there,
following the completion of the Coun-
Gil City and Solomon Railroad. The
town has the benefit of express, tele-
graph and telephone systems, besides
a hospital and other enterprises. A

DENIES JAPAN's VERSION
SakharOff Says Russian Force Was
Not Defeated at KiachOu.

ST. PETERSBURG. July Lieu
tenant General Sakharoff. in view of
the Japanese official version of the
fight at Kaichou, has sent in another
report, reiterating that only one Rus
sian battalion entered into a serious
conflict with the Japanese, who had
four divisions. He denies that it was
a japanese victory, the Russians hav-
ing previously determined to withdraw
their rear guard detachments to other
positions.
Under date of July 16 General
Sakharoff reports that the chasseurs
are driving back the Japanese advance
posts southwest of Siakholan and east
of Kanshi.
The japanese, the general says, have
reOccupied Kochinha. They are still
fortifying the passes between Sonshui
and Molten.
The japanese near Liaoyang have
evacuated Sekeran and Yanlikin. The
country from Siaossyria up to Stu Pass
is free from Japanese, but the pass
itself is occupied by a detachment of
the Japanese advance guard.
General Sakharoff reports several
minor encounters, with practically no
casualties.

Strikers Are Active, but
Employers Are Prepared
to Resist Any Overt Acts
Special Dispatch to The can.

SUFFER- CREEK. July 17.-At the
Fremont Cover, one Of the largest
mines in Amador County a strike
occurred about three months ago.
The cause Of the walk-out then
was the refusal Of the company to dis
charge a certain man working under
ground who had refused TO join the
union. The non-uniOn miner left the
property after the strike took place,
bur the men continued the strike, de-
manding higher wages. The company
refused any increase whatever in
wages. and hence the mine has re-
mained closed for three months.
II has been known for some time
that the company intended to work
the mine at any cost, as the property
IS too valuable TO allow il to deterl-
crate. NOn-union men have been eS-
pected at the mine every night for a
week and "A representative Of the ANA
dor City miners union has been kept
on the road between AmadOr City and
Carbondale in readiness to send word
ahead as soon as the non-uniOn crew
should be on the way 10 the mine.
Word was received by the Amador
City union last evening Of the coming
Of the non- union men and Immediately
the representatives Of the union set
out TO persuade the strangers to keep
out Of the county. Sheriff Norman,
Deputy Jackson and Constable Tuttle
were on hand 10 see that no violence
was attempted and everything passed
of smoothly.
The nOn-union men were driven 10
the mine, where comfortable quarters
were in waiting. The imported miners
mum bered fOrty-eight They were
brought into the county within a few
miles Of lone on a special car and
thence were brought in teams TO the
mine.
Al the Fremont Cover mine a barb
wire fence was put around the entire
property soon after the strike oc-
Cured Numerous electric lights are
kept aglOw every night and watchmen
are employed. No union men are al
lowed on the premises while the i'm
