and 1njuring Five.

Saltwater, Mimi, Sept l7.-The
bridge across Lake st. Croix, which is
half mile long, extending TO the Wis

persons were precipitated with the
wreckage into the water and two were
killed and five seriously injured. The

RUSSIA GIVES HER ANSWER
REPLIES TO NOTES REGARDING
CONTRABAND OF WAR.
Provisions Not to Be Regarded as Con-
traband Unless Intended for
Warlike Uses

st. Petersburg, Sept. 17.-Russia has
given her answer to the American and
British notes on the subject of contra
band of war. Her answer was COM
municated to Ambassador Hardlnge
Friday afternoon, verbally, by Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff The ambassador
was informed in effect that according
has investigated the subject the gov
eminent has agreed to view as of con-
ditionally contraband character food
stuffs and fuel, and that supplementary
instruction had been issued to the Rus
sian naval commanders and prize
courts, calling their attention to the
misinterpretation which had been
placed upon the prize regulations.
These instructions, Sir Charles Hard
inge was informed, make a clear distinc-
ton between the articles enumerated in
article six of the Russian prize regula-
tons which are susceptible to dual
use, like fuel and foodstuffs, the assump-
ton being that if they are addressed to
private persons or firms in an enemy
port they are not intended for warlike
uses; but their innocent character may
be subject to suspicion if the ships
papers and the circumstances are irreg-
ular. In effect. the new instructions
will place the burden of proof that the
foodstuffs, etc.. are designed for bellig-
erent purposes upon the captor. The
new instructions will involve reversal
of the Judgment of the Vladivostok prize
court by the admiralty court in the case
of the provisions confscated.
A direct answer to the American note
is expected Saturday.

The new gun also is several inches

spondent of the Express says Field Mar
shall Oyama has received the most rigid
instructions to resume the offensive as
soon as his troops are recuperated, as
the roads will permit an attack upon
Gen. Kuropatkin before winter begins,
Should the Russians retire to Hardin tc
avoid battle Field Marshal Oyama will
pursue them with his three armies. The
collapse of Oyama's scheme to surround
Gen. Kuropatkin at Liaoyang caused
this order, which, it is stated, is inspired
by the emperor.
Must Retrieve Loss.
The general staff is bitterly disap-
pointed by the escape of Gen. Kuropat-
kin, and Oyama must retrieve himself
for, according to the Japanese view, his
stately failed. Consequently a desper-
ate attack may be expected, which, if
directed against Telling instead Of Muk-
den, must be accompanied by terrible
slaughter.
The entire force now is suffering from
absolute exhaustion and needs sleep
equally with food. It may be several
weeks before Oyama is ready to advance.
It is certain however, that the japanese
do not intend to close the present cam
paign until they make another desperate
effort to crush the Russian army.
Transports now are loading troops
and supplies at Kobe and Hiroshima.
These are to be landed at Yinkow and
sent north by railroad. It is understood
at least 100000 men and 100 guns will be
added to the Japanese army before Oc-
tober T. The majority of these are sea-
soned troops from northern Japan who
are able to withstand the Manchurian
winter.
