RUSSIA DECLARES LIAU
RIVER TO BE CLOSED

Russia has issued a warning to the
naval powers Of the world that il has
mined the mouth Of the Liau River. and
made IL necessary TO prevent the en-
trance OF all vessels into that stream.
Announcement OF this action on the
part Of the Russian navy was received d
last night by the State Department
The mines are said 10 have been placed
AT Yinkow
This city is the port OF Niuchwang
which is thirteen miles from the mouth
OF the Liau River. State Department
officials believe the United States gun
boat Helena. which is in mud dock near
Niuchwang, win be able to escape from
the stream In spite Of the mines at its
mouth
Report Causes Surprise.
Much svrDrise is expressed by naval
officers that the Russians mined the
river before the ice was out and men
VINO are familiar with harbor work are
Inclined 20 discredit the story that the
mouth Of the stream Is now protected
by mines Niuchwang is the point
where the Russians expect the next
japanese attack and strategists ex-
pressed tie opinion last night that Rus
sia IS endeaT0ring TO give the impress
sion that great danger win attend the
entrance Of japanese vessels into the
river.
The formal announcement by Russia
that the Liau River has been protected
puts e end 10 All doubt whether Man
chVria Is neutral territory The fortif-
cation by Russia Of a city which Is ia
what was supposed 20 he neutral terri
tory puts an end 90 neutrality and
marks Manchuria as part Of the war
zone.
Doubt existed as to what territory
the signers OF the Hay compact must
regard as neutral Il was feared thar
the Hay compact might involve the
powers agreeing TO IL IN much difficulty.
because of the indefnIteness OF its
terms but subsequent events have
clearly Indicated that Manchuria and
Korea comprise the natural war zone.
and by their acts Japan and Russia
have relieved other nations Of the duty
Of making an attempt 20 limit the scene
Of the war.
Japan is supposed 20 be planning to
land large bodies Of troops and establish
a base OF supplies at Niuchwang. which
IS 10 be used in moving against the
peninsula upon which Port Arthur is
located Transports are now said 20 be
ready 70 san for Niuchwang, and the
slOWness Of the movements of the Jan
anesc is attributed TO the uncertainty
whether the Russian warshiUs IN Port
Arthur harbor might attack The trans
ports before they cun land at Niu-
chWang.

No Clashes So Far.
In front Of the main body is a force
OF 200 japanese scouts who are exceed
ingly well mounted. So far there have
been no clashes Of any consequence be-

The japanese army is hardly expect

There Is no question that the first

At THE CEMETERY
Rock Creek Lot Holders
Feel Anxious.
Mr.. BARNES GIVEN NOTICE
Fear That TOmbs, Relics, and Flowers
May Become Prey Of Yandals
and Thieves.

Following the publication IN The
Times some time ago Of reports con-
corning trouble between lot owners in
Rock Creek Cemetery and the directors
due to the alleged unwarranted ra-
moval of certain decorations ON graves.
another incident has occurred to stir
up fresh agitation among those holders
O. lots who say they object to the way
IN which the cemetery is mana ged
This incident is the decision OF the
executive committee of the Rock Creek
Cemetery Association 10 do away with
the Office Of watchman. A large lot
owner safa yesterday that to have a
watchman about the cemetery was very
essential. as there were so many toglbS
OF priceless value in this famous burial
ground TO guard. and also so many dne
plants and flowers which might easily
be pillaged by thieves.
Fear Grave-Diggers.
This same lot owner said that in his
opinion It would be absurd TO expect the
grave d1Ggers and men employed IN
various parts OF the grounds to keep up
as thorough surveillance Of the grave
yard as would be done by u man paid
for this service alone. SAID he:
when we pay for our lots at a very
considerable price We expect to have
adequate protection for the memorials.
fences and flowers. which we place
about the graves. and we cannot depend
upon the mere haphazard guardianship
OF a gang of workmen. 1t may be. In
fact. that they themselves need watch

dead are buried"

Captain Wynne then reported the state

Captain Wynne, however, took the
stand and testified that McMullen had
been an exceptionally good soldier and
had served well in China and the Philip
pines, as well as in Panama, with the
hope that the court win be able to miti-
gate his sentence.

enlisted in the Marine Corps, and went
10 Panama in the hope OF getting In a
fight. is a Secret Service man who was
put in sor the purpose Of working up
case against these men.
Poe "Fly Cop"
Poe is a fly cop. all right" say the
enlisted men. we knew that as soon
as we saw him. He came down there
and was made sergeant, ana put in
charge Of the corral, where he could
watch the quartermaster. He did the
trick and he did it slick, and as soon
as we got back to Washington Poe
was mustered out.
The truth is that Poe enlisted in the
army during the war with Spain, and
went to Cuba to fight. He was unluclIy,
however, and did not get into it at all.
When he learned Of the sending of ma
rines 10 Panama he enlisted with the
understanding that ne could be muster
ed out when the scrap was over. He
was again unfortunate. and was muster
ed out SIS soon as = E returned TO Wash

Poe was well liked by officers and men
alike in Panama and the idea of his be-

amusement among the officers of the
