Tien Tsin, June 13.-The Russian
battleship Czarevitch. which was in

which has ever since been undergoing
repairs, has left the drydock and is
now ready for sea. Outside the har-

The report that the Russian gun
boats Biliak and Bobr have been de-

LATEST NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
Morocco Kidnapping AffaIr.

It is rumored that the United States
may receive q concession on the west
coast of Africa in return for recog-
mixing France in Morocco, and joining
hands with Great Britain to assure
Frances suzerainty over the Sultan
Of Morocco, over the protests Of
Spain, Germany and Italy.
The United States will maintain its
great naval front at Tangier and will
be backed by British warships. France,
the United States and Great Britain
will care nothing for protests whether
or not the other nations agree to the
handing Of Morocco over to France.
These are the inside developments

who are held by the Moorish chief,
Raisuli. Diplomats here therefore are
willing to connect the recent visit of
the U. 8. S. Marietta to Gibraltar with
the immediate news to-day that the
British government had decided to
send a warship to Tangier. 1t 10 now
asserted that the dispatch of Rear Ad-
miral Chadwick, saying that the pres
ence Of the whole American feet at
Tangier was "salutary," meant simply
that If he had not been there in force
there would have been an anti-Chris-
tan riot. 1t is also believed the reli-
gious frenzy Of the Moors Is the out
cropping of their general antipathy to
Christians.
The news from Rear Admiral Chad
wick to-day is that the British consul
at Tangier has cabled the British gov
ernment for warship. and 1t will be
dispatched from Gibraltar. This shows
that Great Britain had changed her
mind and that she now believes that
force or display Of force will be nee
essary at Tangier.
The situation in Morocco is therefore

RESUME OF NEWS FROM SEAT
OF WAR IN l1ANCHURIA

No heavy fighting occurred dur
ing the week ending June 18th. The
Denver News, in q resume of the weeks
events. says:
For the last four days dispatches
from the,seat Of war have been SO rig
i6ly censored that little news Of def
mite events has leaked through. From
st. Petersburg we get the usual num-
ber of "rumors," some OF them evident
ly not having a shadow Of veracity.
From ~ckio we have obtained prac-
tically nothing. the cables being said
to be "out Of communication" around
Japan. Probably the censor,s blue pen
Gil is responsible for this.
This absolute secrecy is a necessary
adjunct OF strategy, and in celerity of
movement and secrecy, two great ele-
ments of strategy, the Japanese are
showing themselves to be past masters.
An interesting uncensored dispatch
sent from Pekin by ]. F. ]. Archibald
seems quite extraordinary. The dis
patch is dated May Both, at Pekin, Chi
ma. In this it is stated that there were
100000 Russian troops in the vicinity
of Mukden. The correspondent who
sent the dispatch presumably rode from
Mukden to Pekin, distance of nearly
zoo miles. He therefore could not
have ridden that distance in less than
ten days. This would make his depar-
ture from Mukden May goth at the lat
est. He also states that the food sup
ply for the Russian troops in Manchu-
ria is abundant from the country itself.
Also that there are great many Chi
nese bandits infesting the country.
10 q Vuff
erable reserve and there is an inclina-
ton on the part of well-informed per-
sons to think THAT the number of
troops given in Archibald's dispatch in
cludes all Russian troops from Harbin
along the railroad, guards, etc. General
kuropatkin's troops at Mukden and
Lao Yang and the garrison at Port Ar
thur, also the troops between Harbin
snd VladivOstok and at Vladivostok.
Sufficient time has not elapsed for such
number to be concentrated at Mukden
and Lao Yang over the Russian single
Inns of railroad. 1t is thought that the
available Russian troops at Mukden
and Lao Yang and vicinity do not ex-
ceed from 125, 900 to 150. 900, and being
increased not over 1000 per day. AS to
the food supply in Manchuria itself, 1t
cannot be seen at this time how it can
be sufficient for the Russians. due to
the depredations of the bandits. These
bands. said to De led by Japanese, have,
as the Russians themselves state, been
killing beef animals, destroying stores
and f1leds under cultivation, and are
constantly increasing in numbers, not
only destroying available food supply
but necessitating a large guard to be
kept on the railroad to prevent its be-
ing destroyed at their hands. 1t is
thought. therefore. that the available
forces of the Russians under General
Kuropatkin near Lao Yang do not ex-
ceed 10000. BY available forces is
meant line troops. who do not have to
be kept on duty guarding the railroad,
stores. etc., and who can be used
against the Japanese in battle.
At Port Arthur the Russians prob

ably have 10000 men, exclusive Of tho
sailors. who would bring this number
up to 10000. IN Vladivostok are prob
ably from 10000 to $4,000 men.
The size of the Russian army in Man.
churia depends entirely on the Siberian
railway. and 1t is considered impossible
for them to keep more than 100000
men total on q war footing south and
east of Hardin. This number will prob
ably be there within six weeks or two
months, as every energy Of the Rus
SLAMS is being exerted in that direction.
With the Japanese the transportation
and supply problem Is much easier, as
they have the open sea and abundant
transports. Their actual army OF
trained men approximate closely to
100000 total. all Of which can be put
into Manchuria, II they can keep COM
mand of the sea. As to the efficiency
of the Russians and Japanese, the Japs
certainly excel, man for man, in every
thing except cavalry. and as they have
adopted the principle of sending infan-
try supports with their cavalry recon-
noitering parties, they lose very little,
'as their infantry is extremely mobile.
The number of Japanese troops con-
fronting General Kuropatkin is
thought to be about 100000 at pres
ent; those against Port Arthur. TO-
600. The Japanese troops operating
against General Kuropatkin are keep
ing up the same strategy as before,
moving rapidlysand with uncertain OBJ
iective. to keep Kuropatkin guessing"
so that he cannot well attack them or
go to the relief of Port Arthur. Mean
while General Oku, unimpeded in his
rear, Is pushing the operations against
Port Arthur and fortifying the narrow
part of the Lao Tung peninsula in the
vicinity Of Kin Chou, to guard against
a possible attack from that direction.
From what we can learn. he is about
seven miles from Port Arthur, firing
on the main defenses OF the town,
while Togos squadron bombards near
ly necessarily from the sea. 1t looks
as il Port Arthur is bound to fall, pos
sibly within two weeks. as the Japan
ese claim. Undoubtedly the Japanese
are following one plan and the Rus
slAns are constantly changing. In the
outpost engagements during the last
few days the Japanese have had the
better of 1t. Meanwhile the Japanese
army in japan is being held in readi-
ness to reinforce Kuroki or Oku. and
will undoubtedly be made to Possiet
bay and on to Harbin. with Kuroki
and Oku following Kuropatkin. who
will have to retreat in case Port Ar
thur falls. II Kuropatkin succeeds in
dislodging Kuroki, or Stoessel at Port
Arthur infiicts a defeat on Oku, jap
anese troops poured in from Japan
will still keep their side superior in
numbers to the Russians for long
time. no matter II they are defeated.
which now seems improbable.
The Japanese are not worried about
their land campaign. but are exerting
every energy to clear the seas in the
Far East of Russian warships before
the Russian Baltic feet starts. Every
thing hinges, for year or more at
least, on which combatant controls the
Isea.
