HAS BIG CARGO FOR JAPAN.
Steamer Manchuria Ready to Sail
From San Francisco

FROM SdH Francisco
San Francisco, Aug. 24-The sail
ing of the Pacific Mail company's liner
Manchuria for the Orient has been
postponed until Thursday. The reason
for the delay is the failure to get per-
mission from Washington for the
transfer to the Manchuria of the Chi
nese crew brought from the Orient on
the Siberian.
The Manchuriia will not call at
Honolulu. From here she will go di-
rectly to Yokohama. OF her 10000
tons of cargo more than half is for
Japan and most of the Japanese freight
consists of provisions, machinery and
other articles which the Russians have
declared to be contraband of war.
The Pacific Mail and Occidental and
Oriental Steamship companies have
issued notice that after the departure
of the liner Manchuria freight will be
received from all shippers for Japan
and Korean ports.

power in the far east was entirely
upset.
Russia. one expert says, is in the
position of chess player who loses
his queen in the first half dozen
moves. The naval position of the
Russians at Port Arthur is considered
absolutely desperate. and it is thought
most unlikely that Vladivostok's
squadron of four powerful armored
cruisers will be able to go to the
assistance of the battered fleet at Port
Arthur
Admiral Stark's position there is
likened to Cervera's at Santiago. He
is described as being between the
norns of dilemma. He must either
submit to be held under the guns of
Port Arthur in a posture intensely
humiliating to Russian pride and pres
tige, or he must come out and fight
in condition of inferiority which
would render defeat almost foregone
conclusion. Whatever now happens,
the Japanese empire is thought safe
from attack. II is. however. recognize

and Russia's position is compared to
that OF Great Britain after the initial
reverses of the Boer war. Several
papers take pains to throw a little
cold water on the exultation with
which the news of the Japanese vic

majority OF the English press pays
warm tribute TO the manner in which
Russia has received the news of her
disasters.
What win japan do next? Is the
question asked on every side. The pre-
dictions made here are neither more
nor less valuable than those published
on the other side of the Atlantic. and
it is idle to cable more than an tndi-
cation of what appears to be the con-
sensus OF British expert opinion on
the subject.

likely that Japan would willingly
place any large force in Corea except
as concerns a road to Manchuria in
the absence of any better road. But
is not the sea a better road? That is
the question / find some difficulty in
answering. There are three points at
which an army if landed would be
well placed for operating against the
Russian communication. They are
the north coast of the Liaotung gulf

Yalu and the coast near Vladivostok.

To Remove Tea Stains.

Linens that have bean stained by
tea or coffee may be cleansed by
moistening the spots with water and
holding them over the fumes of a
small piece of burning sulphur, or a
few sulphur matches. Wash imme-
diately with water in which little
ammonia of soda has been distilled.
Stains that nothing else will remove
are often taken out by the vapor aris-
ing from burning sulphur, but the
material must be washed thoroughly
at once.
