Very Long Range.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-Further de-
tails Of the sea battle of August 10 were
received at the admiralty from Captain
Matousevitch of the Czarevitch, now
at Using Chou. They show distinctly
that 1t was long range fight and that
the Russians. sailing in close forma-
ton, were placed at a great disadvant-
age, not only by the superiority of the
Japanese numbers, but owing to the
fact that after encompassing Admiral
Withoft's semi-circle they were en-
abled to pour in a remarkable deadly
fire on the fleeing ships.
. Captain Matousevitch says the Jap
anese kept at distance Of eight and
never less than five miles Efforts Of
the Russians to close with the Japan

ramming them or by gun fire. even
at the cost OF themselves going to the

the Russions to approach but the rain
of projectiles never ceased. The twelve

CHEFoo A RUSSIAN BASE.
Grounds on Which Japs Declare IL
Isn't a Neutral Port,


London, Aug. 19.-Japan's broad
claim that Chefoo has been practically
a Russian base all through the war Is
being investigated. Thus for instance
the facts are being obtained in con-
nection with the establishment by the
Russian consul of a wireless telegraph
plant at Chefoo which he alleges COM
nunicates with Port Arthur.
In respect to the Ryeshiteini the
British officials say that much may be
said in support of the Japanese con-
tention. If the Ryeshielni, as the Jap
anese claim, brought dispatches from
Port Arthur, it clearly, in the British
view, violated the neutrality of China
and thereby gave an excuse for the
Japanese action.
Inquiries have been made by the
British government in regard to the at
titude of the United States with Chi
nese neutrality and the American gov
eminent will likewise obtain informa-
ton regarding the policy Great Britain
proposes to pursue. AS both powers
desire the preservation of the neutral
ity Of the Chinese empire, the British
officials expect that they will take in
dependent action along identical lines
to obtain respect for the principle of
neutrality.
Russia, 1t is state, is not willing to
aid Japan to obtain supplies for the
subsistence of it's army or navy. Ger
many is not disposed to recognize a
principle which would mean such a
great increase in the fighting power of
the British isles. and France holds the
same view. The attitude of the United
States in the past has been such as
to warrant the belief that Washington
is prepared to go to considerable length
in preserving the noncontraband
character of foodstuffs.
Regarding the Knight Commander
case the foreign Office is informed that
1t will be presented to the admiralty
court at st. Petersburg for final appeal
within month. In the meantime the
two governments continue to amicably
discuss the question Of the disposition
of the incident.

UMPIRES HARD PRESSED
army Maneuvers at and Near Camp
Ataskadaro, Cal.

Camp Ataskadaro, Cal. Aug. 19.-The
problem set for solving In the army
maneuvers was the attack and defense
Of convoy. A train consisting Of 100
wagons loaded at Ascuncion station
with supplies for an imaginary main
body operating on the coast north Of
Port hartford. was supposed to be
moving to the coast via Eagle ranch,
escorted by "blue" force composed Of
three armies commanded by Colonel
Marley. A raiding "brown" force OPP
Grating against the flank and rear Of
the blue" force on the coast was sup
posed to attempt to cut off any capture
or destroy the train. Colonel Ward Of
the Fifteenth regiment commanded the
browns" An artillery duel termin-
ated in the silencing of the blues
whose supports did not at once ma
terialize.
The umpires We're hard taxed and
covered many miles back and forth in
order to discover the losses, it being
very difficult on account Of the fact
that opposing forces We're firing at one
another at a distance of from 1900 to
1880 yards.

NO HOPE OF SETTLEMENT
Strikers Prepare for Long Struggle
and Appeal to Labor for
Support Fund.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-President Dor
nelly, said today that an appeal will
be made through President Gompers
to every working man and woman III
the country, about 100000 in number
to contribute funds to support the
packing house strikers.
1t seemed apparent today that the
labor leads had given up all imme-
date hope of peace through any ac-
ton of the packers, and We're making
financial preparations for a long
struggle. 1t was said to be improbable
that any attempt will be made to ex-
tend the strike to unions not already
involved. One of the chief reasons for
this is that the unions not already Out
are said to be not anxi IS to strike,
but the reason the strikers give is the
more men on strike the smaller will
be the contributions to the benefit fund.
Strike sympathizers inaugurated a
revival of rioting today. Two houses
containing nonunionists We're attacked
by a mob and strike breakers else
where were assaulted.
Mack Fray and John Bartholomew,
stock raisers from Cantril, Ia. were
mistaken for strike breakers this aft
ernoon and dragged from street car
and beaten beyond recognition.

disabled one half in ability to perform

A letter from President Roosevelt to
Commander Blackman of the Massa-

a high tribute to the veterans, closing
his letter as follows:

people, ! bid you Godspeed. and send
you this expression of the honor and
esteem in which the nation holds the

The JAP'S BACKBONE
is AWFUL STIFF
Mikado's Government Tells Its
Position as to Ryeshitelni
Affair.
CHINA MUST BE NEUTRAL
And If She Doesn't Forwith Disarm
Russian Vessels in Her Harbors
Japan's Warships Will Go in
and Do the Business.

London, Aug. 19-The Associated.
Press learned this afternoon that Japan
has made demands of China practical
ly in the nature of an ultimatum, that
she Immediately enforce her neutrality
in the case Of the cruiser Askold ana
the destroyer Grozovoi now at Shang-
hal. Japan pointed out that the time
limit of "a hours. permitted by inter-
national law had expired and that the
Japanese were therefore at liberty to
take action as may seem eXped1ent.
At the Japanese legation 1t was ex-
pressly stated that the Toxic govern
ment had no intention Of remaining
quiescent if Russia attempts to compe!
China to give asylum to her men or
war, and authorized repairs at her
ports which would enable them to re-
sumo belligerent operations.
Should China fail to comply imme-
diately with the Japanese demands,
the divisions Of Japanese warships now
in the vicinity Of Shanghai. will the
legation declares, be instructed to enter
the port and capture the Askold and
GroZovoi. as was done in the case of
the Ryeshitelni.
Doesn't Concern the Powers.
Japan has made no secret of her in.
tention, but has not consulted the
powers, believing the matter to be one
which concerns herself alone. Japan
is prepared, the legation further as
serts, to recognize Chinese neutrality
only so long as it is respected by Rus
STA.
With regard to the Ryeshitelni affair,
Japan 1T is asserted. is determined to
comply with the Chinese demands sub
mitted in compliance with the Russian
note, that the vessel be returned to
Chefoo. Japan insists that to all in
tents and purposes Chefoo has been a
Russian base during the war. Chinese
junks have been fitted out there and
sent through the Japanese blockading
vessels to Port Arthur. No answer has
yet been given by Japan to the Rus
Shitelni, but when it is made it will be
communicated to all the powers.

Lockstep Abolished.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 20.-One of the
greatest reforms which the warden has
inaugurated at the Anamosa prison is
the abolition of the lock step. The
prisoners are fairly delighted. and well
they might be. The lockstep is con-
sidered a flendish and degrading regu-
Iation. 1t will always prove a source
of humiliation to the men in life, for
when they gain their freedom an ac-
customed eye can detect in their walk
the motion acquired while forced in
prison to submit to the lGs.k-step. Now
the men march double file like soldiers
and step UP briskly and with the bear

STRIKERS WANT SETTLEMENT.
Packing House Men Believe Both
Sides Should Make Concessions.

Kansas City. Aug. 19.-The striking
packing house employees In. this city are
hopeful of an early settlement of the
strike. A large number Of them think
that concessions should be made by
both the strikers and packers.
The Kansas City packers are indiffer-
ent to any reported negotiations. and
they declare that they have all the men
they need. On July rs. c. w. Armour
announced that all of the old employees
then out on a strike who desired to re-
turn to work could do so within two
days from that date. After that time,
he said, they would find their places
filled. The open shop" policy has been
established by all the packers here,
and they declare that any striker want
ing to return to work will have to
await vacancy. This means that the
great majority Of the strikers will have
to wait months for their old places,
even though a settlement is made in
Chicago. The packers say that under
no circumstances will they be bound by
any agreement which discriminates
against the strike breakers now in
their employ.
The normal amount of killing is being
done at Armours and Fowler's today.
A letter from Michael Donnelly, pres
ident of the Amalga.nated Cutters and
Butcher Workmens association, was
IeGelNeu d. ldDOI anu
pasted OH the bulletin board in the hall.
The letter says that the strike break
ers were leaving the Chicago houses in
large numbers and that speedy set
tlement is almost certain. as the
| packers were more than ever in need
Of their former experienced workmen.
There was no change in the situation
in Armourdale this morning except
that the packers reported further in
crease in the number of employees. No
men were taken In over the chutes.
The Rudy plant is still closed.

BRITAIN ALSO BUTTS IN.
Delivers an UItimatum on the Russia.
Views of Contraband,

beliVerS an OltinaCuIn on the RUSSIA
Views of Contraband.
ST. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-Great Brit
ain has formally raised the whole
question of foodstuffs as contraband of
war, and Of the legality of sinking neu-
trail ships, in a communication to the
Russian government. The views are
practically those embodied in the kings
speech at the proroguing of parliament.
Although the nota is couched in
friendly terms it presents the British
position clearly and emphatically.
Great Britain takes exception to the
Russian doctrine that foodstuffs are
contraband, and takes a position
against the rights of Russia to sink
neutral merchantmen, and demands
compensation in the case Of the knight
commander. With regard to foodstuffs
consigned to the enemy's ports. the
communication maintains that proof
that they are intended for the belliger-
ent's military or naval force is neces-
sary in order that they may be con-
sidered contraband.
The United States has also formally
raised the question of breadstuffs as
contraband of war. While acting on
parallel lines the United States and
Great Britain are proceeding inde-
pendently.
