RUSSIANS ARE SENTIMENTAL.

correspondent Describes the Burial OF
Cossacks Killed Below Sindee.
MUKDEN, Nov. 25.-Wild and rough
as are the Cossacks, they are peculiar
ly sentimental and as susceptible as
children to the emotion of the hour.
whether it be anger or sympathy. One
of the most striking sights have ever
witnessed was the whole of Mist
chenko's division paying its respects to
the remains of the four Cossacks who
were killed and mutilated below Sim
dee. 1t was some time back, just
toward the end of the summer. The
burial was fixed for a. m. Mistchenko
and all his staff and the Fourth Chita
Regiment, to which the men belonged,
was accorded the place of prom
inence in the, ceremonies. There were
no coffins available, and the bodies
were wrapped in plated straw but so
smothered with wild flowers and native
grasses that it was impossible to see
the CHASTITY blood stains soaking
through the covering until the corpses
were lifted from the stretchers to be
placed in the grave. The churchly ac-
cessories were scanty An old table
had been brought from a deserted Chi
nese hut, and on it was placed an old
regimental ikon and before it single
bit of wax candle-the nearest ap-
proach to a taper that could be had.
The priest of the Barnaulski Regiment
officiated. He took his place before the
table; the order Hats off; pray" was
passed down the line, and Mistchenko,
setting the example, uncovered and
bowed his head, while the men knelt,
bareheaded, but each with his carbine
between his knees. The church ac-
cessories may have been poor and
simple. but the temple was magnificent.
1t was Gods own house, a walled-in
valley with green hills rising on every
side and over all rising a single peak
that might have been the spire of this
mighty cathedral.
The service, simple but affecting,
was soon over. The priest blessed the
bodies and the stretchers were raised
shoulder high and passed up the hill
past the massed regiments, and the
band played a dead march. Mist
chenko and his staff followed on foot,
like the rest, and after the Cossacks
had placed the bodies in the open grave

each officer and man of the regiment

hands with the priest, thanking him
for his attendance on the dead, and
also shook hands with and thanked the
four Cossacks who had stood in the
grave to receive the bodies. Before the

briefly addressed the men, warning
them under no circumstances to COM

of Oakland Policeman

A lone highwayman made an unsuc-
cessful attempt TO hold up Joseph
Frankenberg at Clay and Spruce
streets last night, shortly after 10
o'clock The victim blew police whis-
tie and the burglar started to run. he
was pursued by ROmOlo Sbarboro. Ed
ward Everett Jr. and Wallace Brad
ford Jr., and was run down. Policeman
O'Nein happened to be near by and the
thug was turned over to him. At the
City Prison the man gave the name Of
Charles Henry.
Frankenberg is a harness-maker at
120 Drumm street and resides at 1925
Clay street. He was on his way home
last night when Henry jumped out
from a clump of trees at Clay and
Spruce streets and demanded that
Frankenberg throw up his hands. The
latter drew police whistle and blew
it loudly
Then the thug raped his victim
over the head with the butt OF a re-
volver and started off. Branford,
Sbarboro and Everett heard the warn
ing shrek and gave chase TO the thug.
They were successful in running him
down and held him till, Patrolman
O'Neill came in sight.

with attempted robbery.
The police are of the opinion that
Henry is a member OF the gang that

find a clew that will connect him with

CASTRO GIVEN
SHARP NOTICE
Venezuelan President Must
Improve His Manners if He
Wants to Avoid Trouble
ROOSEVELT Is ANGERED
Ruler of Little Republic Is
Given Sixty Days Grace
to Change His Attitude
Special Dispatch to The call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-President
Roosevelt has determined to teach
President Castro of Venezuela lesson
in good government. Roosevelt is
weary of the long delay of the Ven
ezuelan courts in deciding the asphalt
controversy, angry over the expulsion
from the country of A. f. Jaurett, an
American editor at Caracas, and in
dignant over the efforts being made by
Castro to evade the terms of payment
of the foreign debt provided for in the
peace protocols signed in Washington
by Minister Bowen, acting as the Ven
ezueian peace envoy, and the British,
German and Italian ambassadors.
Castro will be given sixty days in
which to mend his ways. If at the end
of that period of grace he shall not
have assumed an attitude which the
President considers fair and just to
this country and the foreign powers.
a feet of American warships will be
sent to Venezuela to make a demon
stration. If this be not sufficient TO
produce the desired reform, several
ports and custom houses, probably, will
be seized and held until all disputes
have been satisfactorily adjusted and
Castro has promised to be good. The
President is determined, if lesson has
to be taught, it shall be thorough, and
that the effect shall be felt by all Cen
tral and South American governments.
Castro was to-day given a broad hint
of what he may expect when the notice
was served on him by Minister Bowen
that his explanation of the reason for
the expulsion of Mr.. Jaurett is very
unsatisfactory" to the State Depart
ment. Department officials say the

PARIS, Dec. 23.-There will not be
the slightest hesitancy on the part of
the Russian witnesses in the Hull in
Quiry to declare dogmatically that
they met Japanese torpedo-boats on
Dogger Bank. Captain Cladd's testi-
monY, which will carry great weight
on account of his well-known honesty,
cool headedness and judgment, will

Lieutenant Valrond, who was in
charge of the torpedo operations on
the kamchatka, says he will bring
flashlight photographs taken during
the night of the Hull incident which
will clearly prove the presence of the
japanese vessels. If they were not
Japanese, then what was the nation

Valrond said to-day: They GER
tainly were not Russian, because they
were of different color from our boats.
Moreover, 1 will show wireless tele-
graph ribbons containing correspond

the subject of the strange torpedo
boats that were following u.s. What

most important witness placed on the
ton to shake his brief but vital testi-
mony went for naught.
Then the defendant herself went on
the witness stand and told the whole
story of her relations with Young. 1t
was a cruel ordeal, but she told it all
in a straightforward manner, from the
day she met the man who was to turn
her life in tragedy's path, to the fatal
moment in the cab. She said her COM
panion shot himself. He held both her
wrists with one hand. AS she struggled
to free herself she heard a revolver re-
port and Young sank into her lap, dead.
MISSING WITNESS.
This, in brief, is the story of the
case that has been three-t times nine
days talk in New York. There were
many sensational side-lights to it. none
of which were brought out at the trial.
One of the strangest Of these is the miss
ing eyewitnesses. Hazelton said that
another man stood beside him and saw
the tragedy. He was casual street
acquaintanceIwho gave him Masonic
greeting and whose name he did not
know. He had introduced himself as
"a brother from the Rocky Noun
tains." The unknown has been searched
for far and wide by both the prosecu-
tion and the defense. The story of his
presence has been published in every
newspaper in the country. but he did
not come forward, even though a hu-
man life might have depended upon
his word.
There were other lines of investiga-
ton, heralded by the defense or the
commonwealth as vital, that played no
part in the trial, and no case in years.

much seeming mystery, has been SO

Murder Case.

History of the Nan" Patterson
Murder Case.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The crime
with which Nan Patterson, the former
showgirl, was charged in the trial
that ended to-day in a disagreement of
the jury was one of the most sensa-
tiOnal in New York criminal an
nails. Its peculiar circumstances, the
prominence of Caesar Young in sport
ing circles and the glamour thrown
around the central figure in the case
because of her membership in one of
the famous "Florodora" companies, all
tended to lend it an interest hardly
rivaled in recent years. From that
world vaguely defined as Sporting"
the interest in the murder in the han
som cab" spread through all circles and
the proceedings of the trial have been
read from coast to coast and have held
a place on the first page Of the metro

him in a cab Caesar Young was on his
way to steamer pier, where his wife
awaited him to sail with her for Eu-

few pedestrians were abroad in the

head in the girls lap, with bullet in
his chest.
