President PrOmuIgates an Order Adding to the
Rightly of American Neutrality

WASHINGTON, March 1O-Presi-
dent Roosevelt. after a conference with
Secretary Of State Hay, issued the fol-
lowing executive order respecting the
observance OF the proclamation recent
ly promulgated declaring the neutral
ity Of the United States between Rus
sia and Japan. the combatant nations
IN the Far Eastern war now in pro-
gress:
'.All officials of the Government
civil, military and naval-are hereby
directed not only 70 observe the Presi-
dents proclamation of the neutrality
in the pending war between Russia
ard Japan. but also to abstain from
either action or speech which can legit-
ina teIy cause irritation to either Of the
combatants. The Government Of the
United States represents the people of
the United States not only in the sin
cerity with which II is endeavoring to
keep the scales OF neutrality exact and
even, bat ia the sincerity with which
il deplores the breaking out of the pres
ent war and hopes that it will end at
the earliest possible moment and with
the smallest possible loss to those en-
gagged. Such war inevita bly, increases
and infames the susceptbnities of the
combatants TO anything in the nature
of an injury or slight by outsiders.
Too often combatants make conflicting
claims as to the duties and obligations
of neutrals, so that. even when dis
charging these duties and obligations
with scrupulcus care, it is difficult to
avoid giving offense 10 one or the other
party.
ITO such unavoidable causes of Of
fense due to the performance of ma
tional duty there must not be added
any avoidable causes. 1t is always un-
fortunate TO bring Old World antipa-
thies and jealousies into our life or by
speech or conduct excite anger and re-
sentiment toward our nation in friend
~ foreign lands; but in a Government
employe, whose official position makes
him in sone sense the representative
of the people. the mischief of such ac-
ton is greatly increased. A strong and
self-confident nation should be partic-
ulariy careful not only of the rights
but of the susceptibilities of its neigh
bors-and nowadays all of the nations
of the world are neighbors. one to the
other Courtesy, moderation and self
restraint should mark international no
less than private intercourse.
"AIl of the officials of the Govern
ment-civil, military and naval-are ex-
pected so to carry themselves, both in
act and deed, as TO give no cause of
just offense to the people of any for
eign and friendly power-and with all
mankind we are now il: friendship.

POINTS OCCUPIED
BY RIVAL ARMIES
IN THE FAR EAST

The above map shows the points oc-
cupied by the Russian and Japanese
land forces and the significance of the
strategic move of the Japanese in
landing at Takushan and driving the
Russians from Fungwangcheng, cut
ting the line of communication by the
great 'Peking road" of the Russian
forces on the Yalu River with Hal
ching, on the railroad from Port Ar
thur to Mukden. The Japanese thus
gain a near point Of approach to the
railroad, but ct the same time put
themselves between two bodies of their
enemy. They have line of retreat
to Takushan, however. The Russians
on the Yalu River are also placed be-
tween two hostile armies, but can re-
treat up the Yalu to Chosan, and thence
by Fensuling to Liaoyang or Muk-
den, unless cut off by a japanese force
advancing west from Gensan or Won
san. Quick action on the part of either
force Will bring something decisive out
of the present situation.

Japanese Adm'Tals Say Their First Object Is Port
Arthur's Capture at Any Cost

commissioned officer by a naval cap
tain of the same name. This letter was
from an intermediary, but il indicated
the principals in the affair. Il is alleged
that several women are implicated and
that one OF them has confessed.
It appears now that only one docu-
ment is missing from the Ministry of
Marine. but it is possible that Martin
photographed and replaced others. 1t
is not likely that the information al
legged to have been stolen got beyond
the intermediary, and ii is said that the
Japanese naval attache who is sup
posed TO have been in direct communi-
cation with Martin sailed for home on
board one of the cruisers which Japan
purchased from Argentina.
1t is said that documents accessible
to Martin related to the possibility of
joint naval action on the part Of Frence
and Russia.

Dyspepsia WIN Be Driven on the Earth.

Dyspepsia VIII BE Driven on the Earth
The great and effective work Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is no longer
confined TO America. They are being
used now all over the world, for their
fame has spread throughout foreign
countries and they cure dyspepsia in
all lands and al climates Just as well
as they do at home. In fact. sur
r -ndings and conditions never inter-
fere with the successful work Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, not even
the conditions OF the stomach itself.
They go ahead in their own natural
way regardless of the stomach and
digest the food that the bad stomach
cannot digest and permit that organ
10 do just as it pleases. rest up, take
p vacation, get well or what not. The
stomach, however. always makes il a
point to get well when il has nothing
else TO do. That's what stomachs al
ways have done and will continue to
DO when they have the opportunity.
A prominent Detroit physician says:
I prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
fer all cases Of stomach trouble I
have tried many prescriptions, includ-
ing a number Of my own, but find
nothing that gives such universal re-
lief as this remedy. They are natural.
harmless and thoroughly effective in
their work. and while 1 have a natural
antlpathy TO patent medicines. I do
not hesitate TO prescribe and recon-
mend Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets on all
occasions"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a hoy
They are so well known and their
popularity is so great that a druggist
would as soon think of being out of
alcohol or Quinine. The above testi-
monial Of the physician is no excep-
ton In fact physicians are prescrib-
ing them all over the land and if your
own doctor is real honest with you he
WI tell you frankly that there is moth
ing on earth so good for dyspepsia as
Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

JAPAN BELIEVES
VLADIV0ST0K SHIPS
ARE IN THE HARBOR

TOXIC, March 10.-The report of
Vice Admiral Kamimura, in command
of the Vladivostok naval expedition,
reached the Navy Department here
early this morning. 1t evidently came
by way OF Wusan. where the squadron
was expected to call upon its return.
The report throws little additional
light upon the movement, except that
it seems to show that the Russian
squadron remained safely within the
Vladivostok harbor, under the pro-
lection of the shore batteries.
Admiral Kamimura says that he
bombarded the harbor for forty min
utes and believes the fire was very
effective. At . O'Clock on Sunday
evening the japanese discerned heavy
volumes of smoke ascending over the
eastern mouth of the harbor and it
was thought for a time that the Rus
slams were getting steam up to come
out and give battle, which was eager
ly awaited; but the smoke gradually
of the Russian ships. The Japanese
squadron searched the surrounding
bays until noon on Monday, when it
again steamed back to the eastern en-
trance Of Vladivostok harbor. The
forts there did not fire at the ap-
preaching ships and no trace was
found of tho Russian squadron. Ad-
miral Kamimura then steamed south
ward, accommodating Possiet Bay and
other inlets in that vicinity, but found
no trace of the Russians.
Admiral Kamimura does not mem
tion in his report anything concern-
ing Russian operations in the vicinity
of Possiet Bay or Tumen River.

BERLIN, March 10-For some days
past the Berlin press has been giving
prominence 10 all kinds of pessimistic
rumors regarding strained relations be-

now going on between the two coun-
tries
The most sensational of all recent
rumors is one given currency by the
Berliner Tageblatt. According 10 Col
onel Gadke. the Berliner Tageblatt's
military correspondent, at present in
ST Petersburg, in military circles in
the Russian capital the outlook regard
ing relations with Great Britain in the
near future is still pessimistic. The
general idea is that war with England
win be the natural consequence of the
Russo-Japanese conflict, and prepara-
tions are already being made for this
eventuality-sO much so that. by order

villas on the island Of Kotlin is strictly

the island is required by the Admiralty

similar prohibition also applies TO vari-
Gus localities on the Finnish and Baltic
coasts.
News from a reliable source is also at
hand Of armaments on the frontier Of
Turkestan. These reports are so ex-
traordinary that under ordinary cir
cumstances they would de passed over
as mere Inventions, but Colonel Gadke
is an officer Of distinction, who ranks
as one Of the leading military writers
in Germany. and as he writes above his
signature one may assume that he
thoroughly recognizes the gravity Of
the statements he makes.
Further communications from the
Caucasus express the conviction that
prevails there that Russia IS fully pre-
pared TO march against India but that
il is not decided whether the advance

the Pamirs.

VICTORIA. B. c March 10.-The
Northern Pacific liner Olympia arrived
from Yokohama to-day. Among her
passengers was Captain Hill, who took
the japanese cruiser Nisshin from Ge-
noa to Yokohama, and he gives a most
interesting account of the trip, which
included a race with the Russian
cruiser Aurora in the Red Sea and the
escape of the Nisshin and Kasaga from
possible capture by the Russian squad
ron.
Captain Hill says that when the two
Japanese cruisers got through the Suez
canal they were closely followed by the
Russian squadron, which was evidently
trying hard to keep in close touch with
them. The Aurora, which enjoys the
reputation of being one of the fastest
Russian vessels, attempted to overhaul
the two cruisers, which, however put
on full steam and ran away from her
with the greatest ease.
Captain Hill had a long conversation
with the Japanese admirals when in
Japan shortly before leaving, and they
told him that the main object of the
Japanese operations at present was
Port Arthur. They are to capture the
port at any cost and were confident of
their ability to do so. No effort, the
Japanese Minister assured Hill, would
be spared to reduce Port Arthur as
quickly as possible. 1t would then be
refortified by the japanese, who would
remain there, instead of following the
Russians into the wilds of Northern
Manchuria or Siberia. The intention
also is to reduce Vladivostok as soon as
the ice goes out.
In reply to the question as to whether
the superior gunnery of the Japanese
was not due to the experience of the
Spanish-American war gunners, Cap
tain Hill said most emphatically that
not one white man was employed on
any Japanese warship in any capacity
whatsoever.
Regarding the war correspondents in
Japan, Hill said they were in despair
at the reticence of the Government,
and the people found it impossible to
gain even a scrap of authentic news
So far as Captain Hill was aware there
was not a foreign correspondent with
either the Japanese fleet or army.

with the utmost difficulty that he could
be induced to make changes. A story
illustrating this is now afloat In Lon
