SHE MUSTDISARM
LARGE GUNS OF RUSSIAN SHIP
TO BE TAKEN OFF.
PRESIDENT ISSUES AN ORDER
Transport Lena Gees to Mare Island
Navy Yard TO Remain Until War Is
Over-Paroled Men to Remain in
San Francisco.

WASHINGTON-Acting Secretary
Of State Adee on Thursday gave out
the following statement regarding the
Russian ship now at San Francisco:
The president has today issued an
order through the acting secretary of
state, directing that the Russian
armed transport Lena, now at San
Francisco, be taken into custody by
the naval authorities of the United
States and disarmed The main fea-
lures Of the condition prescribed are
that the Lena be taken to the Mare
island navy yard and there disarmed
by removal of small guns, breech
locks of large guns, ammunition and
ordnance stores and such other dis
mantlement as may be prescribed by
the commandment of the navy yard;
that the captain give a written guar
antee that the Lena shall not leave
San Francisco until peace shall have
been concluded; that the officers and
crew may be paroled, not to leave San
Francisco until some understanding
as to their disposal may be reached
between the United States and the
beligerents. After the disarmament
the vessel may be removed to prize
dock for such reasonable repairs a,
will make her seaworthy and preserve
her in good condition during her de-
tention. She may be so repaired at
the navy yard if the Russian COM
mander should so elect; that while
at a private dock the commandment
Of the navy yard at Mare Island shall
have custody of the ship, and the re-
oairs shall be overseen by an engineer
officer to be detailed by the command
ant. and that when so repaired, II
peace shall not then have been con-
,luded, the vessel shall be taken back
% the Mare Island navy yard and be
here held in custody until the end
Of the war"
This action has been taken upon
the written request of the commander
| Of the Lena. addressed to Rear Ad-
| niral GoodricS, setting forth that, as
the vessel is incapable of putting to
sea without needful repairs, she must
1sarm, and asking that needful re-
pairs be permitted after disarmament.
The secretary of the navy has tele-
graphed the presidents order to San
francisco and given instructions to
Admiral Goodrich and to Captain Nc
Gala, the commandant at the Mare
island navy yard, to carry out its pro-
visions.

LENA is GUARDED
AMERICAN WARsHIPs WATCHING
THE RUSSIAN CRUISER.
ANOTHER INSPECTION is MADE
Admiral Goodrich Appoints Special
Board Of Officials to Make Examina
ton. Maintenance Of Warships in
San Francisco Harbor.

SAN FRANCISCO-Guarded by sew
eral American warships, the Russian
auxiliary cruiser Lena lies in the same
position in the bay where 1t dropped
anchor Sunday afternoon. Today, I'M
der the direction of the United States
navy, third inspection of the Lena
was begun, and the disposition of the
vessel will doubtless depend on the re.
port of the investigation.
Rear Admiral Goodrich appointed
the following board of inspectors:
Lieutenant Commander ]. c. Leonard
of the gunboat Bennington, Lieutenant
Commander j. e. Palmer of the cruiser
Marblehead and Lieutenant w. d.
Leahy of the Boston.
These officers are all trained en-
gineers and their work will be search
ing and conclusive. 1t is anticipated
that they will finish their examination
Thursday.
The visit of Captain Berlinsky and
the Russian consul, M. Koskavitch, to
the Mare Island naval station is re-
garded as significant, as it Is believed
to portend the dismantling of the
Lena. They were courteously received
by Rear Admiral McCalla. Rear Ad.
miral Goodrich assembled all of the
naval commanders in this port on
board the flagship New York and ac-
quainted them fully with all of the
official developments in the case and
1t is surmised instructed them as to
procedure in the extent of certain
contingencies.
1t is expected that the destroyer
Perry will soon be brought down from
Mare Island and added to the vessels
now surrounding the Lena.
An outcome of the arrival of the
Russian cruiser will probably be the
maintenance permanently in San Fran
cisco harbor of number of warships
to be prepared to deal with any sim
liar emergency during the Russo-Jap
anese war. Had the Lena arrived
| twenty-four hours later San Francisco
would not have had a single Ameri
can war vessel, as the squadron had
been ordered to sail the next day tC
other waters for target practice.
Another and more thorough inspec
ton of the Russian transport Lene
was made by naval engineers in order
J to furnish the State and Navy depart
ments with more complete data con
corning it's boilers and seaworthiness
In the event that the Lena is dis
mantled 1t will probably be laid up a

miral Goodrich has been directed b!

yard to Captain Berhnsky for tina

Respected York County Farmer
CHARGED With SwlndIino Bank,

Respected York County Farmer
Charged With Swlndllne Bank.
YORK-John V. Evarts, a pioneer
farmer living north of Waco, this
county, is in the county Jail. He was
captured in Kansas City, where he
was arrested and charged with mort
gaging cattle, horses and wheat to the
amount Of $500, giving a mortgage on
property that the City National bank
of this place claims does not belong
to him. Mr.. Evarts Is we'll known in
Waco and vicinity, where he has been
farming for many years, and the COM
munity is much surprised to learn
that he mortgaged property which he
did not own. For several years he
has been renting land of his relatives
and once or twice left the farm and
engaged In business. The way he Sc
cured the money of the City National
bank was from time to time previous
amounts, giving security, and each
time the note was due he came in and
promptly arranged for payment. In
this way he won the confidence OF
the bank, and when he mortgaged q
large amount of stock and wheat the
bank had reason to believe that it
was all right. He gave this mort
gage in February last and in March
he disappeared. Shortly after his dis
appearance the bank investigated and
found that he did not own the prop
erty which he mortgaged. They then
gave the matter to Sheriff Brott.
