RUSSIAN EMBASSY
RECEIVES PROTEST
Japan Charged With Violating
Laws of War.
FIRED ON SAN SHAN TAO
Charged That Japs Injured Many Per-
sons at Quarantine Station by
Their SheIls-Another Rus
sian Grievance Filed.

Paris, March 20-The Russian embassy
has received from St. Petersburg and
has handed to Foreign Minister Delcasse
for transmission to the French minister
at Toxic who is entrusted with the pro-
lection of Russian interests in Japan, a
protest against an alleged infraction of
the laws of war 1t appears that during
the attack on Port Arthur March 10, the
Japanese fired over fifty projectiles at
the quarantine station on the island of
San Shan Tao resulting in the injury of
numerous persons.
Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign
minister, considers this to be violation
of the laws of war, notably of the twenty
fifth clause of The Hague convention, to
which Japan was a signatory. The min
lister therefore asks France to call ia
pans attention to the matter apart from
the general protests contained in the re-
cent Russian note to the powers.
The French government has already
transmitted to Toxic Russia's protest
against the seizure of Russian whaling
vessels wlntering at Nagasaki before the
expiration of the date fixed for the de-
parture of Russian vessels from Japanese
ports. To this, Japan replied that prize
court having already acted upon the
question, it was no longer q diplomatic
one, but that the diplomatic officers had
right to appeal to a higher court Rus
STA refused to take this view of the mat
ter and asks France to renew the protest.

STARKE REPLACED
BY STRONGER MAN
NIcE-ADMlRAL AVELLANE SAYS
THE CONDITION OF HIS HEALTH
WAS DEPLoRABLE-ALExIEFF'S
POSITION NOT AFFECTED.

Paris, March 20.-The ST. Petersburg
correspondent of the Echo de Paris has
had an interview with Vice Admiral
Avellane, the Russian minister of ma
rine, who said 1t has been necessary to
replace Vice Admiral Starke, the condi-
ton of whose health was deplorable, by
an energetic man like Vice Admiral
Makaroff, but the minister denied that
the presence of either Vice Admiral
Makaroff or General Kuropatkin affected
the position of viceroy Alexiff adding
that Vice Admiral Makaroff's telegram to
the emperor would pass through the vice
roy's hands The minister said he did
not expect that there would be any fur
ther reference to the emperor's principal
representative at the seat Of war dur
ing the entire period of the duration of
hostilities.
Minister Avoidance said he hoped that
the battleships Czarovitch and Retvizan,
and the cruiser Pallada would be ready
to resume service In a fortnight He de-
clared that the separation of the Russian
squadrons had proved to be most USE
full, and finally confirmed the statement
that the Mediterranean squadron would
return to Libau when that port is free
from ice.
The correspondent says he learns that
the Russians are fortifying the mouth of
the Yalu at Win, as we'll as the Tantung
river.

DEWEY BALKS At
NEGRO MINISTER
Real Cause of Santo Domingo
Affair Explained
FEARED PUBLIC OPINION
Naval Officers Refuse to Land at santo
Domingo Because They Did
Not Care to Be Entertain
ed BY Negro.

New York. March 2o.-A special from
Washington to the New York World
says:
With the return to Washington today
of Assistant Secretary Loomis, Admiral
Dewey. Rear-Admiral Taylor and the
other members of the general board OF
the navy from their West Indian cruise,
tie real reason of the failure of the party
to land at Santo Domingo became known
The official explanation cabled from
Santo Domingo was that Admiral Dewey
refused to allow any members of the
party to land because of the fighting
around the city. What they really were
afraid of was another Booker T. Wash
ington incident.
Minister a Negro.
When the Mayflower dropped anchor
at San Domingo and william F. Powell,
the American minister, came aboard, Adj
miral Dewey and the other naval Off
GERS discovered. greatly to their surprise.
that he was a negro.
If they had gone ashore they would
have been obliged to call on Mr.. Powell
and be entertained at dinner by him and
they baked at the idea. They even crit
icized Mr. LOOMS because he had not
told them that Mr.. Powell was a negro,
so that they might have some excuse
ready when he came on board.
While they were trying to find way
out of the dilemma 1t was ascertained
that slzirmish was going on between
government troops and insurgents four
or five miles from the city. That furn-
ished an excuse.
Admiral Dewey's Excuse.
Admiral Dewey announced that he
could not think of permitting any of his
officers to go on shore and expose them
selves to the danger of being hit by
stray bullets. He told Mr.. LOOMS he
could go ashore If cared to, but Mr..
Loomis concluded that he would be safer
on the ship.
Instead of staying several days at
Santo Domingo, as had been intended,
the Mayflower hurried away before the
distant firing could be stopped. There was
no opportunity to study conditions at the
capital so the Mayfower touched at San
Pedro Macoris, Sanchez, SANTANA, Puerto
Plata and other Santo Dominican ports to
allow Mr.. Loomis to look into affairs.
