INQUIRIES FOR HAvNER.
Russian Consul Seeks Former Pilot of
V1adivostok Fleet.

Although repeated calls at the Rus
sian consulate last evening brought the
response that Consul Kosakevitch was
not at home, it was later learned that
he had teiephoned from the consulate
10 the Palace Hotel an inquiry as to
whether Captain B. HaVner was regis
tered there. Not satisfied with the re-
ply that no such person by that name
was a guest at the hotel. the Consul
half an hour afterward sent repre-
sentative to the Palace TO confirm the
information he had obtained and to
learn if possible whether Captain Hav-
ner was expected at the hotel.
Captain Havncr was formerly pilot
of the Viadivostok fleet, which he quit
a few months after the war began. He
arrived here on July 10 from the Orient
and registered at the Palace Hotel,
where he remained for seventeen days.
He is an American and a native Of
Maine, bat has resided in the Russian

Britons Believe the Cars Baltic Fleet Will
Fall Prey to Admiral Togo.

LONDON, Sept 1.-THE situation at
Port Arthur, especially in view OF the
sailing from Kronstadt on Sunday of
the Baltic fleet, receives new attention
in the newspapers. Spencer Wilkinson,
in the Morning Post, says 1t depends
entirely upon how long Port Arthur
can hold out whether the Baltic fleet
will be of any effect.
The Standard declares that the fleet
will never get beyond Suez. but says If,
by any inconceivable chance, it should
reach Chinese waters, it would only
give Togo fresh opportunities for add
ing to his category of successes. The
Standard adds
ernment with any intention of sending
its last maritime reserve to destruc-
tion.'
The Telegraph devotes lengthy edi-
torial to witty protest against the
Japanese treatment Of war correspond
ents and attaches, based on Bennett
Burleigh's structures. The editorial de-
clares that Great Britain's ally, solely
from the point of view of her own in
terests. committed profound political
error in allowing correspondents to go
to the front and then reducing their
presence to a nullity."
The paper also warns Japan that
Western sympathy is not encouraged
by the "superf1uous evidences OF jap
anese distrust."
The Morning Posts correspondent in
the field with General Kuroki describes
the operations against Liaoyang as
twelve days of the hardest possible
fighting and marching on short rations,
with temperature of 100 degrees in
the shade and frequent falls of rain.
All of this he saws has been borne
splendidly, though the men. were worn
out after the tense struggle. He
adds:
General Kuropatkin's retreat was
mastery. He held the northeastern
heights to the last possible moment
and secured safe retirement for his
army and his guns"

FOREST FIRE
STILL RAGING
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Sept 1.-THE forest
fire which has been burning on the
Bolinas ridge for the past four days
is still raging, Notwithstanding the re-
ports that the fire is under control.
Sheriff Taylor returned from the
scene of the fire this afternoon and
reported it under control, but he had
not been here but a few minutes when
word was received from Liberty Farm
that the fire had broken out again at
Little Carson Canyon between Liber-
ty Farm and Lagunitas.
Sheriff Taylor Immediately gathered
twenty men and returned to the burn
ed district, although he mas taken no
rest for twenty-fOur hours. The fire
is practically under control on the
Camp Taylor side of the ridge and un-
less the wind rises the blaze viii be
entirely extinguished by morning.
Pedrini Brothers. lumber merchants,
whose camp is in the John EnOs VAL
ley, managed to save many cords OF
cut wood, but the flames devoured two
hundred cords of tan bark and as many
cords of cut wood. The fire Is now
burning through Little Carson Can
yon toward Lilly Lake and Milliards'
ranch.
MiIliards has every available man on
his ranch at work and desperate at
tempt will be made to save it from the
flames. Many thousand acres Of timber
have been destroyed since tho fire
started, the Howard and Shafter tract
alone constituting twelve thousand
acres, all Of which was burned
Many ranches and cattle have been
destroyed by the blaze and people re-
siding near the burned district have
shipped their valuables to a place OF
safety. No word has been received from
BoIinas. Inverness, Olema or Point
Reyes for four days, as all telephons
and telegraph wires are down. owing
to the fire.

She has seen some service since she
came from Odessa on the Black Sea.
In the dashes Of the fast Russian yes

of small Japanese merchantmen have
been her prey, but the destroyers of
Kamimura did not get her under their
searchlights. The officers are cour-
teous TO visitors aboard their ship,
evening inviting the press photograph
ers to take snaps of objects around.
With their limited knowledge of the
English tongue they tried to tell of the
vessel and her mission to this port.
Cruising in the Northern Pacific they
found their boilers giving out, they
said. and ran for San Francisco be-
fore a Japanese cruiser caught them in
a crippled condition. The Lena was
thirty-one days coming from Vladi-
vostok, calling at the Saghalian
Islands. The usual trip consumes
about tWenty-six days.
Her way from the Siberian port was
pretty direct. A statement comes from
the ship TO the effect that the Russian

with Japan doubtless having consider
able to say on the subject 1t seems
to be the general opinion that the Lena
must dismantle herself and remain in
this port till the close of the war or
leave the harbor.
Collector Stratton. asked as to what
the department would do in the mat
ter. was less communicative than the
Russian officers. who acknowledge that
possibly to remain here the Lena may
have to dismantle. The Collector says:

The San Francisco call., 1904-09-12

Bennett Burleigh sends to the Daily
Telegraph from the japanese head
quarters a long description of the
fighting. He says:
General Kuroki, who was hotly at
tackled by Kuropatkin and was for
time in Jeopardy, was unable to get
astride Of the railway, otherwise Lao
yang would have been a Sedan for the
Russians.
What surprised me more than any
thing else was the wonderful manner
in which the Japanese continued Tor a
whole week their awful bopnbardment
of the Russian positions. 1t was the
fiercest artillery attack, perhaps, IN
history. Tens of thousands of shells
were thrown daily, but the supplies Of
them seemed inexhaustible. The Rus
slams only replied spasmodically, but
their rifle fire was often the heaviest
1T must be said for the japanese
that, although they fight with the ut
most fierceness, daring and courage,
they battle not like mad men, but with
their heads, and they obey their Of
ficers in all straits
Burleigh testifies, as other corre-
spondents have done, that the Japan
ese are continually drafting fresh men
in the fighting ranks and remarks
how marvelously they took fortifica-
tions whose capture appeared to be I'M
possible. He asserts that it was
Kuroki's dangerous position that COM
PEELED the other japanese armies to
force the fighting.
THE Muscovites presented most
detected appearance in the retreat,
continues Burleigh. THE men are OF
good material, but the officers lack
many necessary qualities. The war is
most unpopular with all the Russian
soldiers. In Japan it is just the reverse.
"The dread Cossack cavalry is a
myth which the Japanese infantry de-
spise. The Russians made absolutely
no use of their masses of horsemen.
81 fear the losses to both the Rus
slams and the japanese are near $4,000
men each"

Toxic Estimates the
Russian Losses
at $4,000.
Mikado's $ Men Capture
Vast Quantities
of Stores.

TOXIC, Sept. 1i.-Telegraph phic reports
received here to-day from the head
quarters of the Manchurian army de-
clare the Japanese to be in full possess
sion of the Yentai coal mines, estimate
the Russian losses I'D to the fall Of
LiaOyang a more than $4,000 men and
give additional details of the disposi-
tion of the Russian forces around Lao
yang during the battle The estimate
of the losses does not include those
suffered by the Russians in the rear
guard action fought after the evacua-
ton of Liaoyang. The date upon which
the Japanese occupied the Yentai coal
mines is not given.
According to Russian prisoners and
other men the Russian force at Lao
yang included the full strength OF the
Second, Fourth, Fifth, Tenth and Sew
enteenth army corps and portions OF
other corps. One corps was posted to
the west Of Liaoyang; another was To-
Gated south of LiaOyang, with full
corps in reserve. another was placed
to the northwest Of the city on the right
bank of the Taitse River and another
faced the Japanese right army.
General StakelberS was in command
of the Russian forces at ShOushanpao-
Major General Mistchenko at first was
in command southwest of Liaoyang,
and later directed the Russian defenses
on the east.
Prisoners and others affirm that the
Russian. losses between the retreat
from Anshanshan and the final fall OF
LiaOyang amounted to more than $4,000
men.
Before the battle the Russians assem-
bled a great number of railroad cars at
Liaoyang, which were constantly used
in the removal of wounded men and
arms and ammunition to the rear for
three or four days. Vast quantities Of
arms, ammunition and stores were
burned at Liaoyang before the final
retreat, but an enormous quantity OF
shells, ammunition. powder wagons.
stores and miscellaneous property was
captured by the japanese. With the
ammunition captured was a quantity
of dumdum bullets.
