The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1904-08-03

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. Oscar
King Davis, the noted correspondent of
the San Francisco Call and the New
York Herald, arrived here on the En-
press of Japan this morning from the
orient. Davis is among the more for
tunate of the foreign war correspond
ents, in that he saw good deal Of the
actual fighting and was not shut in
Toxic all the time awaiting the fulfill
ment of official promises. He is looking
IN line trim and says that he has had
some very interesting experiences.
Davis expressed the opinion that the
japanese officials have entirely misun-
derstood the status of the foreign war
correspondents. and is doubtful wheth
er those in Toxic will ever get to the
front, although when he left Toxic they
had been assured that they would leave
Balkan for Port Arthur on the oath ult.
Quite an agitation on their behalf
was got UP by the Japanese newspapers
in Toxic, who waited on the general
staff and pressed the claims on behalf
of their foreign colleagues on the Off
Gals, Offering to forego their prior
claims in the interests of the foreign
ers.
Davis has a high opinion of the fight
ing qualities of the Japanese, and as
he saw the fighting on the Yalu he
lions of the Vladivostok squadron, he
says the Japanese Government has re-
ceived information which goes to show
that the so-called Norwegian whalers
are acting as scouts for the Vladivostok
ships.
These whalers have been observed
several times cruising in parts of the
Sea Of japan, where no whales are
found, and their movements northward
and southwark coincide strangely with
the movements of the squadron.
Several Toxic journals allude to the
matter and express the opinion that
their work may explain the safety with
which the squadron so far has eluded
pursuit. Some action will be taken by
the Government.
The transportation and commissariat
arrangements have been excelIently
carried out, and practically the plan of
campaign has been followed without
modification, and SO far with complete
success.
The Empress saw nothing of the Rus
sian ships, although there was kept
close lookout.

Cars Death Is Planned by
COnspirators Who Slew
Won Plehwe.
Plot Is Arranged at Meeting
of ASSaSSinS in a
Swiss City.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

GENEVA, Aug. Russian police
have evidence that the assassination
of Won Plehwe, Russian Minister of
the Interior, was planned in Geneva
by central committee of the Dorje-
vaya organization and that the death
of the Car also was a part of the
plot.
Confederates of the assassin have
been traced to a villa close to the
French frontier, on Lake Leman,
where the details of the crime were
ARRANGED. The leader let it be sup
posed that he was a retired French
tradesman named Duval. The mem
bers of the committee approached the
villa in small boats disguised as fish
ermen, early in the morning. A high
wall about the place insured secrecy.
The Swiss and French police sus-
pected that all was not right about the
villa and held it under surveillance.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. at is
reported in well-informed circles that
Muravieff. the Minister of Justice,
will succeed Won Plehwe, late Minis
ter of the Interior.

tice, is a brother of the late Count
Murayieff, who, when Minister for
Foreign Affairs. died suddenly on June
p, 1900. He was born in 1850, and,
with his brother. the late Minister of
Foreign Affairs, was greatly instru-
mental in the transformation of the
Russian penal system and in utilizing
the vast resources of Siberia. The
Minister of Justice is a nephew of the
great Count Muravieff- Amurskij, the
hero of the Russo-Turkish war of
1S28-29, and who in 1892 took
prominent part in suppressing the
Polish instruction.

Rich Woman Clad In Evening Dress
and Satin Slippers Arrives at
New York.

NEW YORK, Aug. GLAD in a rich
evening dress of white silk and flmy
lace, a woman whose affairs seem
hedged about with mystery crossed
from Southampton to New York She
asserts that she does not know why
she took the trip. She explains her
costume by saying that 1t was the
only one she had with her. but cannot
explain why she started on an ocean
journey clad in evening dress and
wearing white satin slippers
To deepen the mystery, she has pa
pers showing that the Paris branch OF
]. Pierpont MOTgan's banking-hO
had acted as her financial agents and
through them she had drawn an an
nual income Of SIS 900. Now she finds
herself in a strange country without
a cent, no clothing except what she
wears and no clear idea as to why she
came here.
The Marine Hospital surgeon at
tached to the Immigration Bureau de-
clares the woman is deranged. The
surgeon Of the steamship which brought
her here asserts positively that she is
not. He talked with her on every day
of the voyage and on every subject
and found her perfectly rational But
on the representation Of the Marine
Hospital surgeon the immigration au-
thOrities refused to allow. the woman TO
land and would have removed her to
Ellis Island had it not been for pro-.
tests of the steamship officers. who
said that the fair vOyager was too deli
cate and refined to be penned in with
a lot of immigrants, and that, since she
had been barred from landing and
would have to return by the ship that
brought her, they would care for her
on board the ship If the officials did
not object.
No objection was made and the
woman is now on board, well cared for
She said her name was Constantine
Phalen; that she was born In Dublin
and had been married, but. having sep
arated from her husband, had resumed
her maiden name.

KurOpatkin Is Wounded in
Arm While Directing
His Forces.
Intrepid General Mingles
With His Men on the
Fighting Line.

Special Cable TO The Call and New York
Herald. Copyright 1904. by the New York
Herald Publishing Company.
ST PETERSBURG, Aug. 2.-It is
sure that at present a battle is going
on for possession Of the Liaoyang main
road. Kuropatkin himself is in the
midst of the fighting It was stated to-
day that the general staff had received
news that the commander in chief had
been wounded by a bullet in the arm.
Allowing for the inevitable conflict in
names, the Japanese and Russian re-
ports seem 10 agree on the main points
Of the military developments up to
August /, but both stop short at their
interesting point, namelyi regarding
what occurred on August ,, when il is
possible decisive struggle was pro-
ceeding east and south of LiaOyang.
II is evident from Kuropatkin's dis
patches and the Japanese reports that
the Russians abandoned Yangse Pass.
falling back upon Liandiansian, a
strong defensive position in the hills
twenty-four miles southeast of Lao
yang.
General Kuropatkin admits that there
We're heavy losses along the Siamatsza-
Liaoyang road on July 81. The official
account is somewhat inconclusiVe, but
indicates that although the Russians
withdrew from their advanced posts
Kuropatkin hoped to be able to hold
his main positions, even in the face of
the superior japanese force. and that
he evidently expected heavy fighting
along this line, probably at Anping.
This battle was practically proceeding
on August 2, although the dispatch re-
ports that all was quiet UP TO noon of
August /.
In the meantime a serious enveloping
movement Of three Japanese divisions
was maturing around the Russian left
at Haicheng, where there was also
heavy fighting on July 81.
