Russian Steamer Stops British Vessel In
the Red Sea.
London, July 2O.-A dipsatch from
Alden to the Daily Mail says that the
captain of the British steamer Waipara
reports that the Russian volunteer
steamer St. Petersburg signalled him
to stop by firing across the bows of his
vessel on July Is, while 20 miles off
Jebel Zugur, in the Red sea.
The Russians examined the papers
of the. Waipara and declared they
would hold his ship as a prize. The
captain protested, and was taken on
board the St. Petersburg, where he
gave the Russian officers a guarantee
that there were neither arms nor am
intuition on board the Waipara destin-
ed for Japan. The vessel was detained
for four hours and was then allowed to
proceed.
The captain confirms the report that
the Peninsular & Oriental company's
steamer Malaica was seized in the Red
sea July Is by the St. Petersburg on
the ground that she carried arms and
ammunition of war for the Japanese
government.

VIOLATE RULES OF WAR.
The japanese War Office Publishes
Charges Against RUSSIANS.

Toxic, July 20.-The Japanese war
office has made public a statement
charging the Russians with violation
of recognized rules of warfare. The
statement alleges that on two occasions
the white flag has been violated; that
once Russian column fred persistent
ly on a field hospital where the Red
Cross flag was flying conspicuously,
thus compelling the japanese to remove
the hospital amidst great danger.
Twice, it is alleged, the Russians
fired on the men of the Japanese hos
pital corps, although their badges could
readily be distinguished. On three oc-
casions japanese have been stabbed,
sion the Russians are declared to have
stolen cattle and horses from noncom-
batants and to have violated women.
It is also claimed that numerous cases
can be cited where the Russians have
wantonly fired on the Japanese
wounded and that they have refused to
premit parties who were succoring the
wounded on both sides to 60 unmolest-
ed.
These charges are made by General
Oku and it is stated that further
charges will be made, growing out of
the experiences of General Kuroki' S
army.
In explaining the publication Of
these charges, the Japanese general
staff states that they had no desire to
take such action. but in view of Rus
sia's charges that they made through
the French papers there was rothing
else left for them to do.

CHINA MUCH DISTURBED.
France Will Send Troops Unless the Re.
bellion Is Suppressed.

Tien Tsin, July 19.-The Chinese
minister at Toxic has telegraphed the
Wal Wou Pou, the Chinese ministery
of foreign affairs, that the japanese
government has presented scheme for
the administration of Manchuria, the
principal clause of which is that the
japanese will govern the province with
the number of Chinese troops now in
the country.
Information has been received here
that unless China suppresses the re-
bellion in the province of Kwangsi, the
French government has threatened to
land troops and put it down. The
Chinese government is much perturbed
in consequence.
A feeling prevails in Tien Tsin that
the Japanese have suffered terrible
reverse at Port Arthur. If they have
not, it is thought that the japanese
government would have contradicted
the reported disaster days ago.

MAY BIB AT MERCY OF RUSSIANS.
Japanese Transports Trapped, If Hostile
Fleet Has Reached Kaichou.


Fleet Has Reached Kaichou.
st. Petersburg, July 19.-Reliable
reports from Ia Tche Kiao this after
noon brought the startling announcement
of the presence of Russian warships off
Kaichou, which they are said to be
bombarding, and of the arrival of Japan
ese transports and torpedo boats off the
port of Niu Chwang.
The admiralty was unabl lie to confirm
or deny either report, not having re-
ceived any communication from Rear
Admiral Withoeft, but the admirals
were generally not inclined to credit
them. If true, it would mean that
Admiral Withoefr has got the Japanese
transports at his mercy. In this case,
Admiral Togo would hasten to their
rescue and engage the Russians. This
may also explain the absence OF positive
news of the Japanese occupation of the
port of Niu Chwang and the cautious
approach of General Oku's column.

BREAK OF A GREAT DAM.
Pennsylvania Valley Flooded and Much
Property Destroyed.

scottdale, Pa. July 2O.-With the
roar of Niagara, the new reservoir of
the Citizens Water company burst at
midnight and more than 100000, 900
gallons of water rushed down the val
ley, sweeping buildings in its path.
1t was discovered about 9 O'Clock
that the dam was in danger of break
ing and messengers were hastily sent
through the valley to warn the people.
Hundreds of lives were thus saved, fol-
a few hours later the whole valley was
under water.
The damage to the machinery and
reservoir alone will amount to at least
$4,000. When the torrent swept
down upon the valley, buildings were
torn from their foundations and carried
on the crest of the great wave like SO
many washtubs. Crops valued at
thousands of dollars were completely
wiped out.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
HUM PASS OVER CASCADES.
John Mimic Believes Stock Can Be,
Driven Over Mountains.


Driven Over Mountains.
Albany-John Mimic, of Salem, one
of the pioneers in the Santiam noun
tain district of Oregon, will in few
days head party from the end of the.
Corvallis & Eastern railroad, on the
north fork of the Santiam river, in
quest of shorter route to connect the,
railroad with the Deschutes country in.
Eastern Oregon.
Mr.. Mimic has long entertained the,
idea that there is pass through the
Cascade mountains at this point where
it would be possible to construct trail
for driving stock overland from the
Eastern Oregon ranges to the eastern
end of the Corvallis & Eastern line.
He has interested Manager Edwin
Stone, OF the Corvallis & Eastern, in
the work, and an effort to lay out the.
route of the proposed route will be-
made in few days.
The old Minte trail, which extends
from the end of the old railroad grade
to the Eastern Oregon country, has
been used for years by those who know
the short cuts that connect the western
and eastern parts of the state. But
Mr.. Mimic is satisfied that there is a
shorter cut yet, and that it could be-
made of great service to the stockrais-
ers of Eastern Oregon in shipping their
stock to market.

Profit From a Volcano.

Mexico City, July 2O.-The formal
transfer of the volcano Popocatepetl
to New York capitalists will be com.
pleted this week. The Inter-Ocean
railway.will take the sulphur from the
volcano to Vera Cruz. 1t is believed
that sulphur can be landed at New
York for $4S per ton (gold), which
would make the sulphur an effective
competitor of the Italian article. The
reorganiza tion is interpreted here to
mean that the German directors were
not willing to support the Standard in
fighting the other oil interests.

Two More Steamers Held Up.

London, July 20.-TAe Daily Mail s
correspondent at Alden says that the
British steamers Woodcock and Dali
malta were held up by the Russians in
the, Red sea and detained for three
hours. The correspondent says the
captain of the Russian volunteer fleet
steamer st. Petersburg has notified the
British residents at Alden to wire the
British consul at Suez and Port Said
that he would seize any British steam
ers bound for the Far East, if the con-
tents of their packages were not clearly
shown on their manifests.'

Great Britain Orders Fleet of War Yes.
sells to Scene of Trouble-Fleets Be-
Ing MoboIized-czar May Find He
cannot- Use the Dardanelles for His
Ships Again.

London, July 20.-Two naval orders
were issued today by the British ad-
miralty, which are believed to indicate
a determination on the part of Great
Britain to project British shipping
from acts of aggression at the hands OF
the Russian navy.
The first order directs the Mediter-
ranean fleet to sail at once from Glib
ralter and proceed to Alexandra.
Egypt, near the mouth of the Suez
canal.
The second order directs two of the
fastest British armored cruisers to pro-
stations in the Red sea at points where
several British ships have been held UP
the last few days by the vessels of the
Russian volunteer squadron.
While the fact that these orders were
issued was carefully guarded, and nc
public statement of their scope is pro.
curable, there is no doubt that the
British foreign Office has decided that
the time has come to act promptly in
protecting British shipping, and to put
an end to any aggression on the part ol
the Russian cruisers. Well informed
naval officers believe that the dispatch
of this powerful Mediterranean feet to
the vicinity of the Red sea, and the sta
tioning of two of the crack vessels ot
the squadron directly in at the points
where the Russians are carrying things
with high hand, means that no furth-
er molestation of vessels flying the
British flag will be permitted.

"After the occupation by General

concerning his disposition was, in gen.
eral, inadequate.
According to some reports his army
had been reinforced and had even ex-
tended his forces toward Saimatsza.
Other reports said that displacement
of his troops had been made in the di
rection of Ia pass and Siuyjen. There
were even indications that Kuroki had
transferred his headquarters from Tsk-

umn. From this position and from
the crest of the mountains to the east
of the heights surmounted by the tenn

rifle and artillery fire.
General Kashtalinsky advanced to
occupy the bluffs, sending forward at
once one and then three battalions, but
the attempt failed, Notwithstanding
the support given by the horse noun

not be brought into action on account
of the nature of the ground.

SAVED LAO YANG.
General Zassalitch's Defeat at the Yafu
Was In Name Only.

General Zassalitch's Defeat at the Yafu
Was In Name Only.
st. Petersburg, July 19.-Experts
who recently were inclined to criticise
General Kuropatkin's management OF
affairs in the Far East declare, as the
situation develops, that his strategies
have proved, SO Tar, beyond reproach.
He has successfully tided over press
ing danger-how pressing only those in
close touch with the Far East realize.
His apparent mistakes, like the pro-
longed resistance offered by Lieutenant
General Zassali.ch on the Yalu, turn
out to be acts of the highest military
judgment.
General Kuropatkin then had so few
and such poor troops at Lao Yang
that the japanese would have had an
easy task to crush the main force of the
Russians had they been permitted to
cross the Yalu without severe punish
ment, and the thousands lost by Zas-
salitch practically saved Lao Yang.
Zassalitch, until disgraced, occupied an
important staff position.
General Baron Stakelberg's march,
| which also was criticised, is now ad-
mitted to hae been necessary. The ru-
diments of war are that the army
should be in constant touch with the
enemy, otherwise it would be impos-
sible to know the strength of it's op-
ponents or to be informed of their
movements.
General Stakelberg's march was a
reconnaissance on grand scale, and
not only enabled General Kuropatkin
to ascertain the enemy's strength and
disposition, but materially disturbed
the Japanese plans relative to the siege
of Port Arthur. gradually drawing the
bulk of the Japanese army to follow
the retreating column, and thus dis
tracing attention from the vulnerable
spot between Liza Yang and Mukden.
Meanwhile the men at Kuropatkin' g
headquarters are improving. Fifty
thousand of the best troops from Eu-
ropean Russia have reached Lao Yang
within month, and if the Russian
commander in chief should now choose
to accept battle he will be able to in
flict heavy blow. All Russia is look
ing forward with confidence to the is
sue of the fight.
