unable to reform their plans, which nave
been upset by Gen. Kuroki, and are losing
interest and heart in the struggle The 10

and II Is extremely hazardous to attempt
TO send out uncensored dispatches.
Niuchwang is filed with rumors of more
fighting to the southwark The reports
come from native sources. few Russian
officers. who talk guardedly say the rumors
are untrue. but that Gen. kuropatkin in
tends to make a determined stand at hai-
schou where many mines have been laid
and trenches constructed.
The field telegraph between Kai Chou and
Niuchwang. which was finished Wednesday,
was cut in three places last night and five
miles of wire carried away. 1t is supposed
to have been the work of Chinese In the pay
of the Japanese.
This is regarded as evidence that the Rus
SLAMS cannot hope for the friendship of the
Manchurians
Large bands of robbers are giving the
Russian outposts much trouble northeast of
NiuchwanS. The Japanese, IT is said have
supplied the robbers with 1000 modern
rifles and much ammunition.
French correspondents from Mukden re-
port that the japanese up to last Monday
had made no demonstrations near Lao
Yang. These correspondents are now with
the Russian forces south of here, but Amer

tion to the effect that all traffic on the Lao
river south of Mukden must be stopped and
that food stuffs must be delivered to the
Russians According to native reports the
Russians are losing thousands OF horses
from the glanders.
Foreign military attaches who witnessed
the fighting at Feng Wang Cheng declare
that the japanese artillery is superb. and
that the japanese army is equal to the best
of European troops.
The order of the American postal Depart
ment issued early in May, to send mail for
Manchuria to New York and thence through
Europe, has caused uneasiness among firms
and individuals with American business re-
latons, the Russian mail route IS con-
sidered wholly unsafe If the japanese
should cut the line of communication such
of Mukden II would result in the stoppage
of all American mail.
There are 500 wounded at the Russian
camp. three miles east of Niuchwang A
few surgeons and members of the Red

Secretary Hays Recent Sharp Dispatch
to Consul General Gummere.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June 25.-A cablegram from
London says:
Secretary Hays sharp dispatch to Consul
General Gummere al Tangier in the Perdi-
caris affair startled Europe. The manner
of Its Endorsement by the Chicago conven-
ton was not lost upon the continental
press and foreign Offices Coming at mo-
ment when Berlin and Vienna would like
to believe that Russia had protested
against the sending Of the American squad
ron to Turkish waters-a preposterous and
discredited runior-the incident has served
to emphasize the trend of the American
policy. British public opinion unreserved
ly approves of the course of the Washing
ton government from the outset of the
ridiculing the notion that the logic of the
Monroe doctrine demands that the United
States should leave to European states the
Americans in Europe.
The Spectator, advocating frank accept
ance by Europe OF the fact that America
cannot be excluded from the councils of
Europe, continues to urge continental d.
plomatists to take their cue from Great
Britain and extend a welcome to a partic1-
pant which, welcome or not welcome, Is
sure to come. The Cologne Gazette takes
the view that continental Europe has moth
ing to gain by placing obstacles at Constan-
tinople in the way of a settlement OF the
difficulty now in the hands of MIR. Leish-
man. This settlement" 1t adds, might
