SECRETARY HAY REQUESTS HER
GOOD OFFICES I'M CASE OF
KIDNAPPED AMERICAN.
FOUR WARSHlpS NOW AT TAEGlEH
OFFICIALS HAVE
NO INTENTION OF LANDING
MARINES AT PRESENT.

Washington. June Through Am
bassador Porter Secretary Hay has re-
quested the French government to ex-
ercise its good Offices toward securing
the release of Perdiearis, the kid
mapped American in Morocco. The
French government has undertaken
the task and, because of its closer as
sociation with the various elements in
Morocco, it is believed here that it
can accomplish more than any other
government.
The British government also Is act
ing with great energy in behalf of
young Narley, the stepson of Perdi-
caris and a British subject, and the
British officials are in communication
with the United States government re-
garding the matter.
Admiral Chadwick is not expected
at present to land a party from his
fleet to pursue the brigands, but it is
stated positively that if Raisuli exc
cutes his threat of killing his captives
the United States government will in
Sist that he be run down and executed
at any cost. 1t Is expected at the navy
department that the South Atlantic
squadron, now at Tangier, will be re-
inforced by the European squadron
commanded by Rear Admiral Jewell
and consisting of the Olympia. Balti-
more and Cleveland.

AMERICAN SQUADRON.

The British and American represen-
tatives have sent special courier TO

ress.

The inhabitants of Tangier are un-
easy and the British residents outside

PiLLAaED BY BANDITS.
Take Possession Of CaIny After Rus
sian Evacuation.

Chefoo, June 1.-Five hundred Chi
nese refugees from Port Dalny and
Talienwan arrived here during the
stories it appears that the Russians
left Talienwan May 26 for Poit Arthur
after burning everything likely to be
of use to the Japanese. Bandits later
took possession of the town and We're
pillaging when the Japanese cavalry
appeared May 27. On May rs the Rus
slams left Port Dalny, previously barn
ing the offices and residences, de-
stroying the railroad and scuttiing
three large merchantmen, the Zeid,
Boreia and Nagadan, and all the
dredgers and launches.
Some Of the refugees also say the
Russians destroyed the gunboat Bobr,
which is believed to have taken part in
the battle of Thursday last at kinchou,
and three torpedo boats. Others say
these vessels returned to Port Arthur
The docks and piers at Dalny were
not destroyed. Bandits occupied the
city after the Russians left and levied
tribute on the inhabitants. A Chinese
contractor, who had built most of Dali
ny for the Russians, was held for ran
som and his clerks were killed. The
town was still burning May rs, when
the refugees started for Chefoo. The
japanese had not appeared at Dalny
up to that time.
One junk which was leaving Dalny
was sunk by bandits and fifty persons
were drowned.

WHITE CHILD IN NEGRO HovEL
Death In Fire Reveals Strange Case of
Hidden Identity.

New York, June IA small fire
which destroyed negro howell in
Brooklyn has disclosed TO the police a
strange case of hidden identity In
the fire which destroyed the building
a beautiful white child, eight years
old, lost her life.
Her presence in the hut, which had
been occupied by an old negress for
some years, caused an investigation.
1t was learned that the child had been
reared by the negress and had, al
though evidently of refined parentage.
been compelled TO grow up without
education and find playmates among
the colored children of the neighbor-
hood.
Fragmentary admissions by the ne
gress lead to the belief that the child's
mother was young woman well
known in Brooklyn society. Its foster
mother said she received for time
$500 every twelve months to care for
the little girl, but that payments had
stopped five years ago and, owing TO
her attachment for the little one, she
went to work to provide for II. She
was absent when the hut was burned.
The child was locked In and perished.

FIGHT OCCURRED AT NIGHT.
Russians Receive Report Of Cossach
RepuIse.

st. Petersburg, June 1.-The war
Office has received a detailed report of
the fight at Aiyangpienmen, about
sixty miles northeast of Fenghuan-
cheng, on Saturday night, in which two
battalions of Japanese infantry and
one squadron of japanese cavalry,
numbering about 2,200 men, attacked
five squadrons of Cossacks. The Rus
sian losses were seven Cossacks killed
and one officer wounded and nine
horses killed.
The Cossacks were encamped twelve
miles northwest of kuandians1an,
which was held by several Japanese
battalions, two of which and one
squadron of cavalry left May 28 for
Saimatsza This force encountered
the Cossack bivouac at 103 30 O'Clock
the same night and attacked the Cos
casks, who retired in good order, keep
ing up running fight along the road
to SaimatsZa. There was a great deal
of firing on both sides, but, like most
fighting in the dark, it was very in
effective, as shown by the smalness
of the Russian losses. 1t Is believed
the Japanese did not sustain any
greater casualties.

RUSSIANS HURRlEDLY RETREAT
TO PORT ARTHUR ON AP.
PROACH OF JAPANESE.
VALUABLE PROPERTY LEFT INTACT
ENEMY SECURES POSSESSION OF
BARRACKS, sToREHoUsES
AND RAILWAY CARS.

Toxic, June 1.-The Russians eyac
uated Dalpy so hastily that they failed
to destroy much property, which will
prove highly valuable to the Japanese.
General Oku's scouts report that over
100 barracks and storehouses remain
uninjured. The railway and telegraph
stations. with 200 passenger and
freight coaches, are also uninjured.
The Russians destroyed the big pier
and blocked all the dock entrances
with sunken steamers They destroyed
all the small railway bridges in the
vicinity of the docks, but left the jet
ties uninjured
1t Is evident that the Russians fed
quickly when Nanshan hill was lost,
expecting that General Oku would inn
mediately take possession of Dalny.
All previous reports of the occupation
Of the town were false.

st. Petersburg, June 1.-The Rus

ON the Kinchou affair, but there is an
evident disinclination to accept the
Japanese official reports in their en-
tirety.
The general tone OF the papers indi-
Gates the belief that even the fall OF
Port Arthur would not decide the war.
Much praise is given for the splendid
defense of Nanshan made by the Rus
SLAMS against superior numbers.
