the Koreitz and the Sungaria returned
to the harbor. The firing lasted about
so minutes and during that time 1O9
men on the Variag were killed and
wounded. The wounded were badly
injured and the majority of them dieu
or will probably die of their injuries.
After the Russian boats returned to
the harbOr a demand for them to sur
render by p. m came from the Jap
anese fleet. The Variag was evidently
sinking so her commander ran her a
ground. All of the wounded and the
crew and some of the dead were gotten
off her, but about 80 to 40 dead were
left aboard the Variag. She was then
blown up and sank. 1t was decided to
destroy the KOreitz so her crew was
taken off and the vessel was blown up.
The mail steamer burnt and sank.
THE foreign men-of-war sent their
boats out for the purpose of rescuing
the Russians sailors from the various
ships. The boats from the Vicksburg
were sent out but they did not pick up
any of the men. The Russian sailors
and officers were distributed about on
the other warships that were in port.
This action on the part of the foreign
commanders later caused considerable
of a miX-up, for, after the Russian
vessels were destroyed, the commander
of the Japanese navy sent in de-
mand that the men be surrendered as
prisoners of war to him. This de-
mand was refused by the foreign YES
sells. Captain Marshall the commander
of the American vessel had fOrseen
that some complication might ensue as
the result of the rescue of the men and
the attempt to hold them, so he had
not been a party to the decision by the
other commanders to refuse to sur
render the prisoners. The matter was
undetermined for some days until the
commanders could be advised by their
governments,
1T was claimed that the Japanese
did wrong in attacking the Russians in
a neutral port. The Japanese had
probably drawn UP their vessels out
side Of the Aarbor line Of Chemulpo
but they did not let the Russians get
out and the Russian vessels were prac-
tically inside the harbor of Chemulpo
when the fight occurred. 1t was sub
SeQuenlly QeClueu Dy the various gov
ernments that they would hold the
rescued Russians until the end Of the
war. Those taken by the Talbot will
be sent to the British settlement at
Hong Kong, the French to Saigon and
the Germans to KiaO-Chow The Ger
man vessel did not arrive however until
a day or so after the fight.
The japanese are pouring troops in
to Korea. On the night of February
8, $500 were landed at Chemulpo and
were taken at once to Seoul. UP to
the time that / left February is, 5000
Japanese soldiers had reached Seoul
from Chemulpo and transports were
hurrying forces to that place as rapid
ly as possible. An army corps of "a
bout $4,000 men was being sent to
Chemulpo. Ten transports had de-
posted part of this corps between Feb
ruary 8 and February IS, and on the
day that 1 left Chemulpo ten more Jap
anese transports loaded with troops,
arrived at Chemulpo. Ten more yes
sells were coming. The Japanese NOV

MEN WHO ARE
At THE FRONT

There are now only four war cores
pondents in the theater of war in Ko-
rea' News of the number of press rep
resentatives near the front was brought
this morning by w. F. Sands, the chief
advisor to the Korean Emperor. Mr..
Sands is going to the United States on
business. In talking with a representa-
tive of The Star he told of the news
paper men who had been able to reach
Korea. The men who got into Korea
are Jack London for the Heart papers,
Mckenzie for the London Express,
Lewis for the London Telegraph and
Dunn for Golfers Weekly. London was
the last man to reach Korea and he did
so only after the most arduous labor.
Mckenzie, Dunn and Lewis were
among the first to reach Korea" said
Mr. Sands. They We're early on the
scene and were able to witness the ma
val battle at Chemulpo on February ,
when the Russian cruiser Variag, gun
boat Koreitz and mail steamer were de-
stroyed. London did not witness thai
engagement however, as ne did not get
into Seoul until February II. Dunn was
able to secure some splendid pictures of
the combat Bennett Burleigh of the
London Telegraph was to have gotten
into Korea but for some reason the
japanese held him up at Nagasaki.
Lewis succeeded in getting through He
is doing splendid work. He is sending
his stuff to Burleigh who attends to
getting it published.
"London's experience was very unu-
sual. He landed at Fusan in the early
part Of February from Japan. The YES
sci he was on was recalled to Japan to
act as a transport, so London was at
the southern end of Korea without
prospect of getting up to Seoul. He
hired Korean and Japanese boatmen to
row him along the coast to Chemulpo
He was two weeks making the trip and
got into Seoul the night of February H.
I saw him at the hotel. Mckenzie and
l used to dine together at the hotel.
There are various ways of getting
the news out of Korea. The japanese
of course control the telegraph lines
They will not permit any dispatches
containing references to the movements
of troops or vessels to be sent out and
dispatches are frequently mutilated,
But there are regular German mail

PORT ARTHUR
IS CUT OUT
THE JAPANESE ARE SAID TO
HAVE DESTROYED RAILWAY
ACROSS NARROW ISTHMUS-


Port Arthur is cut off from supplies.
This report was brought this morning
by the transport Thomas and from
the statements of Captain Lyman the
master of the vessel regarding the
physical conditions of the Liau-ti-shaR
peninsula the report is very likely TO
be correct
The report of the closing Of supplies
to Port Arthur was learned at Maya
saki. The work has been done from
the land side in two directions and is
understood TO have been successful.
whether the blockading, OF the land
north of the peninsula was effected
by landing parties or by the vessels OF
the fleet, is not certain but the work
could, i'm the opinion of Captain Lyman
be accomplished by the naval fleet.
Port Arthur is located on the south
ern point of the peninsula. There is
a narrow isthmus north of Port Ar.
thur about 100 miles away. ON the
eastern side of this isthmus is Lien
Whan bay while on the western side
is Society Bay. Captain Lyman says
this peninsula is not over 6 or Z miles
across. 1t would in his opinion be an
on either side of this isthmus and des-
troy the railway In fact he states
that one of the pilots at Nagasaltj in
formed him that the Japanese had al
ready gone up to that place and prac-
tically effected the land blockade of

JURORS
TO TRY JONES

and acquaintance with all members of
the Jones family, also the fact that
Parmelee is a married man.
Your present wife is your first and
only Wife," was one question, to which
Parnelee answered yes"
Has your wife ever instituted pro
ceedings against you for divorce?" ASK
ed the deputy attorney general. Par
melee answered in the negative and
gave the same reply when asked if he
had ever instituted divorce proceedings
against his wife All was satisfactory
until the question Of an opinion was
reached, when it appeared That Parme-
lee had formed an opinion. He said he
had read the newspapers accounts of
the Jones case, and had naturally
formed an opinion. 1t was an opinion
that would require evidence to remove.
He thought however that he could lay
aside his opinion, if sworn as a juror,
and give an impartial trial. Peters
passed Parmelee and Robertson took
him UP.
Parmelee's frame of mind was gone
into very thoroughly before the lawyers
and the court got through. Robertson
Edward Mitchell Jones appeared in
Judge Robinson's court this morning
for his second trial for murder in the
first degree. AS before he was repre-
sented by A. G. NJ. Robertson and ]. ].
Dunno. Deputy Attorney General Pet
ers and NJ, F. Prosser appeared for the
prosecution. Jones has not changed in
appearance since his last trial He wore
a badge of crepe on his arm, as mourn
ing for his father. Jones seemed to be
as nervous as ever and sat constantly
opening and shutting his hands and
chewing. AS before, he showed no signs
of hearing what was going on and he
did not look at or notice anyone. He
was accompanied by an officer whom
he asked for a drink of water just after
taking his seat.
Over half an hour was taken in ex-
aiming the first juror as to his quail
fcations. The first twelve men called to
the box were H. A. Parmelee, S. w
Spencer, w. Dunbar, w. L. Fletcher j.
NJ. Dowsett, r. Dekum S, Kamakau j.
F. Give, 2. X. Biveus, c. H. Cooke, ].
F. soper, ]. c. Cohen.
Peters made very exhaustive exam
nation Of Parmelee. He obtained thor
ough information about his business
ELECTED from him the statement that his
opinion would require more than a lit
tie" evidence to remove it and that If
such evidence was not forcoming his
opinion would stand. On this basis
Robertson challenged.
Peters contended that an opinion was
mot disqualification provided the juror
said he could disregard it and give a
fair trial. Judge Robinson asked Par
melee what he would do IL there were
no evidence at all and Parmelee said;
Il would know nothing about it then"
After further questioning by both
sides Judge Robinson overruled the
challenge and Parmelee remained in the
box Robertson took an exception.
Most Of the excuses granted are on
account of opinions formed by the jur-
ors Several of them had reached con-
illusions which they didn't think they
would change. TT would take strong
pile Of evidence to change my opinion"
was an answer given by Dowsett, who
was thereupon excused.

WOULD INCREASE:
THE ARMY PAY
BROADER GENERAL FUNSTON
SAYS AMERICAN SCALE OF.
SALARIES Is TOO SMALL.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October TO-
Brigadier General Frederick Funston.
commanding the Department of the
Columbia, in his annual report says
that additional observation and con-
versation with officers confirms him
in the views expressed in his previous
report that there should be substan-
tial increase in the pay Of the enlisted
men Of the army i'm order that better
men may be obtained and kept in the
service.
There can scarcely be a doubt" says
General Funston, that such action
would bring into the army vastly SUI
perior body of men who would remain
i'm the service. 1t is doubtful if an in
crease over present rates Of pay Of 80
per cent for noncommissioned officers
and 30 per cent for privates would be
more expensive than under present
rates, when so much time and money
are wasted in trying to make soldiers
out of the inferior class of men who
constitute at least half Of the rank and
file of the army today. There is no
reason why the United States army
7ll'All lDA 't composer VI 40 lll' a
body of men as is the northwestern
mounted police of Canada, an organiza-
ton in which so high a standard has
been reached that desertiOn or mis-
conduct of aany kind is almost unheard
Of and i which the officers do not
hesitate to trust even the privates with
duties requiring integrity and no small
degree Of good judgment. 1t is re-
commended that legislation be request
ed for the army similar to that en-
bodied in the navy personnel bill.
THE recommendation made i'm my
last annual report that legislation be
asked for appropriating a sum to be
divided pro rata among the funds Of
the various organizations for the pur-
chase Of articles not included i'm the
ration is renewed. one dollar per
month for each man should be sufti-
cient. 1t is believed that such step
would conduce more to contentment
among the enlisted men than providing
them with gymnasiums and amusement
rooms. desirable and useful as the lat
ter undoubtedly are.
"The recommendation made in the
same report that inmates Of the guard
house subsist on hard bread, salt meat,
vegetables and water is also renewed.

NOT CONTRARY TO LAW.
Building Of Lake Dredges From the
1909 Appropriation

Acting Secretary Oliver of the War De-
partment has received an opinion from At
torney General Knox on the question raised
by the Lake Carriers Association in re-
gard to the building and use Of a govern
ment dredge for the Improvement and
maintenance of the harbors of Lake Erie
According TO the statement of the Secre-
tary of War the construction of this dredge
was authorized by eX-Secretary Root, with
out specific appropria ton, but upon the
recommends ton of the engineer officer in
charge approved by the chief of engineers,
to be paid for out of funds made available
for various harbors in the Michigan dis
trict.
1t was represented by certain persons in
terested in dredging for the government
by contract that under the language of
the act of 1902 making appropriations for
the harborS in question there was no au-
thofity to allot from such appropriations
portions to make a gross sum applicable to
the construction of dredge to be used in
the Improvement of all the harbors
The Attorney General reviews the statutes
bearing on the question and expresses the
opinion that the construction of the dredge
was lawful, as provided for by equitable al
that nothing stands in the way of it's pro-
posed USE"
In the river and harbor act just APP
proved by the President it is provided that
no more dredges shah be built by the gov
eminent without specific appropriation
therefor, but 1t is also provided that this
prohibition shall not apply to dredges al
ready constructed or in course Of con-
StructiOn.
