TWO RUSSIAN FLEETS
SEEKING TO COMBINE.

London, March 19.-Again there is
no news from the Far East printed in
this mornings papers, with the excep-,
ton of vague rumors of unsuccessful
attempts of the Port Arthur and Via
divostok fleets to join hands.
The Standards Tien Tsin correspond
ent says that. Paul Lessar, Russian
minister to China. has renewed his
protest against the dispatch of Chi
nese forces outside the great wall, and
intimated that unless they are with
drawn Russia may be compelled to act
on the assumption that China is aban-
doning her neutrality in favor Of Ja-
nan. The minister is also reported to
have renewed his threat that on the
slightest movement on China's part,
Russian troops will march ON PelSin.
It is understood that in reply to this,
the correspondent adds. China refused
to recall her troops.
The New Chwang correspondent of
the Times, cabling under yesterdays
date, asserts that there are no Japa-
nese north of the Yalu river, ana that
not any of their scouts have been
seen there since the beginning Of
March. on the other hand, the cor
respondent says. the Russians are re-
ported to have crossed to the south,
leaving a small force to guard the
river.

LOOK FOR PORT ARTHUR
TO HOLD OUT TWO YEARS,

New Chwang, March 1S.-The work
of unlocking the Russian gunboat
Sivoutch has begun so as to enable her
to enter the Lao river at the earliest
possible moment.
Three small boats from Port Arthur
have been disenrained at the railway
station.
The above facts, together with the
Russian demands for market here
for lumber and grain bags, are taken
to indicate the proposed execution of
plans to fortify the east bank of the
Lao river from the railway station to
the forts and the coast line to Kin
Chau.
Official denials were sent to Toxic
to-day of the reports prevailing in ia
pan that Vice Admiral Makaroff fears
the loss of his feet if he remains at
Port Arthur, and that he, therefore,
contemplates an attempt to escape.
The competent authorities much doubt
the probability of the Japanese reduc-
ing Port Arthur under two years.

WILLIAMS WAS HANGED.
Large Crowd at Roanoke Witnessed
the Execution.


Roanoke, Va, March 1S.-Henry Viii
liams, colored, was hanged here to-
day. The execution was Witnessed by
several hundred people assembled in
the Jail yard, while thousands throng-
ed the streets about the prison.
There was no demonstration. but as
a precautionary measure, acting May
or Johnson held local military COM
pany in their armory during the night,
and until after the execution.
The crime for which Williams was
hanged was committed Jan. so last.
He entered the house of George j.
Shields. we'll known young business
man, and after assaulting Mrs. Shields,
cut her throat. He then struck Mil
bred, the S-year-old daughter of the
couple, over the head with hatchet
and robbed the house.
After his capture he was taken to
Richmond for safekeeping. and during
his trial, was guarded by eighteen
companies of state militia. He con-
fessed to the Shields crime, and also
confessed to having murdered wom-
an in Ohio and another in Pennsyl-
vania. Shortly before being hanged
he confessed that he had commit I'd
numerous criminal assaults on women,
but had always escaped.
The capture, trial and execution of
Williams cost the state $4,000.
DR.. c.. G. Cannady tonight secured
an injunction restraining the author
tiles from removing Williams body
to the University of Virginia, which
institution claims the remains. VIII
Hams mother gave DR.. Canuady a
written order for the body after the
University of Virginia had put in its
claim

SUBMARINE BOAT
WAS RUN DOWN
ELEVEN WERE DROWNED.
AMONG THESE WAS LIEUT.. MAN
SERGH, BRITISH NAVY.

The Submarine Number Al Was En-
sased in Mancuvers When She
Was Run Down by n Liner and
SunL-The Vessel Reported She
Had struck n Torpedo-Submnrine
Was Awaiting the Approach of n
BnttIeahip--Wus in Seven Faith
Oms.
Portsmouth, England, March IS. The
British submarine boat Number Al
was run down and sunk off the Nab
lightship to-day by Donald Currie
liner, and eleven persons were drown
ed, including Lieut.. Mansergh, the
senior officer engaged in submarine
work.
The liner passed on and reported that
she had struck a torpedo.
At the time she was struck the yes
sci was off the lightship, engaged in
the maneuvers. and was lying in sew
en- fathoms of water, waiting the ap-
proach of a battleship.
The name of the liner which struck
the submarine boat is the Berwick
Castle, from East London, South Afri-
ca. The loss of the boat was not
known for some hours after the liner
had reported to the maneuvering fleet
that she had struck torpedo. The
officers of the liner say that they saw
a glistening, torpedo-like hull in the
water and it is supposed, therefore,
that the submarine boat rose just be-
fore she was struck.
There is no doubt that all the MEM
bers of the crew died in their steel
tomb. 1t is presumed that the Ber-
wick Castle in striking, upset the trim
of the boat and spilled the gasoline in
her tanks, rendering her helpless. The
crew were battened down and must
have met their terrible fate from suf-
location in the absence of air. and
owing to the fumes OF the gasolene.

LEON ARD WOOD
MAJOR GENERAL
CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE.
THE VOTE UPON THE APPOINT
MENT WAS As TO 18.

Wood Takes His New Rank From
Aug. s, 1908, the Date when He
Was Appointed by ROOseveIt-Had
Hanna Lived the Vote Against
Confirmation Would Probably
Have Been LarEer-This Means
Have Been Larger-PrOmOtiOn for
1877 other Army Officers.
Washington, March 1s.--By the ac-
ton of the Senate in executive session
to-day, Gen. Leonard Wood became a
major general, taking the rank from
Aug. 8, 1903, the day President Roose-
welt made the promotion.
The contest against his confirmation
has been a notable one, beginning soon
after Congress convened in special ses-
sion, and continuing until to-day, when
by a vote of As to 16, the nomination
was confirmed The late Senator Han
ma was recognized as the leader of
the forces opposed to Gen. Wood, and
had it not been for his death before
the disposition of the case, it is con-
coded that the vote would have been
nluCn Closer. IL has iiOt DtSh DCAtSFSN
at any time since the contest opened,
however, that the fight against con-
frmation would have been successful.
Only two Republicans remained in
the minority. They were Senator
Scott, a member of the Military At
fairs Committee, who opposed the morn
nation while it was pending in the
committee, and Senator Kittridge.
Five Democrats for Him.
Five Democratic senators voted with
the majority In favor of confirmation.
They were Senators Cockrell and Pet
tus, who as members of the Military
Affairs Committee, heard all the testi-
mony offered against Gen. Wood, and
Senators Patterson, Clarke Of Arkan-
sas and Dubois. The negative vote
on the confirmation was as follows:
Bacon, Berry. Blackburn. Clark
(Montana), Culberson, Gibson, Lati-
mer McCreary, McLaurfn, Mallory,
Martin, Money, Newlands, Simmons,
Democrats, and Messrs. Kittredge and
Scott, Republicans.
After the vote had been reported
Senator Foraker moved to make the
vote public, and Senator Blackburn
moved to make public the testimony
had before the Committee on Military
Affairs. The motion in regard to the
testimony was voted down, and the
general understanding was that the
vote was to be given out. In the con-
fusion, however, the announcement
was made that both motions were lost.
No speeches were made to-day.
1877 More to Advance.
Dependent upon the confirmation OF
Gen. Wood were 1877 promotions for
other army officers. These have been
held UP since their nominations were
made by the President, but will now
be confirmed without opposition. They
include twenty colonies promoted 10 be
brigadier generals on the retired, and
one brigadier general on the active list,
and a number of other officers ranking
from colonies down to second lieuten-
ants. No doubt all will be speedily
confirmed and will, according to mil
itary authority, take rank and pay
from the time they were first appointed
to fill vacancies.
