SANITARY PROBLEMS ON
ZONE OF THE CANAL
Surgeon ]. G. Perry Says the
Greatest Task VIII Be to Make
Colon Healthful.
ISLAND TO BE FILLED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-SurgeOn ]. G..
Perry, of the Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service, who has been since last
month at Colon making a special study for
President Roosevelt of the sanitary condi-
tions on the isthmus, has submitted an ex-
haustive preliminary report to Surgeon
General Wiman. He devotes the greatest
portion of his report to the city of Colon,
but also describes conditions at Panama
and along the proposed route of the 18TH
mam canal.
His conclusions are in the main most
hopeful. He describes the present condition
of Colon as woefully unSanitary and un-
healthy and says that its redemption will
be an immense task, but that it should be
successful The climate at the camps
along the route of the canal he described
as far superior to that of Colon and PAN
ANA, and he says that with proper sani-
tary regulations the health of their occu-
pants should remain good. Colon is built
on the Island of Manzanilla, in the Bay of
Limon, close to the mainland and connect
ed with il by the dam of the Panama Rail-
road. The island is leased from the gov
eminent by the Panama Railroad Com
pany.

mains to-day a primitive swamp covered
with dense tropical vegetation and stagnant
water furnishing admirable breeding
places for millions of mosquitoes. The
swampy area is not confined to the island
upon which Colon is situated, but extends
back of the town on the mainland for

JAPAN HAS NO NEED OF
AUXILIARY SHIPS OF WAR
Admiral Togo Feels He Has Sea
Fully Protected and Merchant
men to Resume Trade.
HAS SEA CAMPAIGN WON

TOXIC, Feb. 2S.-On account of Admiral
Togo's success at Port Arthur, the reopen
ing OF the sea to Japan merchantmen and
the revival of shipping. the Japanese gov
eminent does not anticipate that it will
have further need for the auxiliary cruis-
ers America Maru and Yawata Maru. and
they will be disarmed and returned to their
owners. Nothing now prevents the Amer
lea Maru from resuming her place on the
San Francisco line and Yawata Maru on
the Australian line In preparing for the
war, Japan armed big fleet of fast
auxiliary cruisers on account of the equal
ity of naval strength between the Russians
and Japanese, but it is believed that the
auxiliary cruisers are no longer needed. 1t
is expected other auxiliary vessels will be
disarmed and released.
The Nippon Yusen Kaisha Company is
chartering fleet of British vessels for re-
establishing the Chinese coast lines.
Lack of details of formations, firing
ranges and evolutions prevents full un-
derStand1ng and appreciation or Admiral
Togos tactics He seems to be endeaVOr-
ing to accomplish the maximum destruc-
ton with the minimum of exposure. He is
carefully balancing those considerations
and relying on superior mobility, marks
manship and ammunition. At the outset
the equality OF naval strength and the prob
able necessity of fighting the Russians I'M
der the batteries of Port Arthur made ex-
IRENE caution essential. The loss of a few
ships endangered the ultimate success of
the japanese army, hence the brevity of
the engagement of Feb. 8, and the avoid
ance OF the engagement of the fortress.
The same tactics were followed in Thurs
days engagement and bombardment. These
dashes, brief battles, speedy Withdrawals
are a novelty in naval warfare, which war
rant the consideration OF strategfsts. Ad-
fmiral Togo's reliance particularly on gun
merry is fully warranted by his gunners
clearly outshooting the Russians. He con-
stantly fought at long range. Furnishing the
enemy severely and escaping without seri-
Gus damage himself. The personnel of his
forces is shown in another way by the
superiority of the officers and men, who
are anxious to undertake hazardous duty.
Togos ships are apparently In better con-
dition than the Russian vessels. The heavy
scoring of the torpedo craft is one of the
surprises of the war so far. Foreign naval
experts say, however that making every
allowance for the daring, skill and per
sistency of the Japanese the Russians are
largely to blame for lack of watchfulneSs
and poor craftsmanship.

NECESSITY FOR A RIGID
JAPANESE CENSORSHIP
Tapan'S Minister to Great Britain
Says 1t Is Due to Preponderance
of Russia's Strength.
MAY BE. RELAXED SOON

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-In reference to the
severity of the censorship exercised by the
japanese government over the news dis
patches of foreign correspondents, Baron
Hayashi, the Japanese minister to Great
Britain, said to the Associated Press to-
day:
II have had numerous representations
from English and other newspapers on this
subject, but l believe that our position In
the case is not only right, but will be adj
mitted to be such by those who look care
fully into the circumstances.
I'VE are fighting against numerical odds,
which are quite out of proportion to the
odds against any combatant in recent wars.
We are lighting for our existence and our
only hope of maintaining IT is to strike
swiftly and secretly at the beginning. To
get in nrst blows means more 10 us than,
/ think. ii has ever meant to any bellig-
erent. and to insure this it is vital for us
to demand a degree OF secrecy which has
not been necessary in any recent warfare.
Even at the risk OF alternating temporarily
the friendship of the press of the world, we
must prevent even q whisper OF our real
intentions reaching our powerful enemy;
Before war was declared l knew that
our military authorities had decided that
our censorship must be more rigid than ever
before attempted One line would have
ruined our first attack on Port Arthur
one line might ruin our projected land OPP
erations.
when we fought China we gave the
many cases they took advantage of this
TO predict our future movements That did
not matter much when China was our
enemy. but against a power like Russia, so
immensely superior in eventual resources,
ii might turn the scale. When you fight
for life everything else becomes of minor
character
Il cannot believe that Japan will lose
friends in tire world because she has been
obliged to impose such careful censorship.
do not think the present rigor of this CEN
sorship will be continued very long.
Our own press and people are under
going the same regime. There is no dis
elimination, and | think you will find as
much if not more, news of the war from
the japanese side in the New York and
London papers as you will in the leading
Japanese organs.
Baron Hayashi does not expect that his
government will issue any proclamation of
the blockade of Port Arthur until the Jap
aneSe are able to cut the communications
by which food supplies now reach that
place. He points out that Nieu-Chwang is
practically blockaded by ice. When the ice
breaks up, and if the naval necessity still
exists, the minister says Japan will issue
a blockade proclamation.

PATHWAY SOON CLEARED
BY AGED PRIESTS VISIT
Dean McNulty Struck Bartender
Who Opposed His Course in
Viewing Building.
CRUSADE ON SALOONS

PATERSON, n. j., Feb. 2S.-That Dean
McNulty, the aged priest of St. Johns
Roman Catholic Church, Paterson, n. j.,
is determined in his crusade to keep young
women out of the back rooms of saloons is
known to a bartender of the saloon of
Oscar Allgier. When he endeavored to bar
the way of the priest he received a sting
ing blow in the face. Before he recovered
the dean had accomplished his purpose.
The saloon Is a block from St Johns
Church and the dean has been the most
prominent figure in several visits to the
place. In one Of these recently he was
roughly handled. On Wednesday night
after the lenten service in St Johns, he
of the side rooms unobserved A young
woman fed. Her escort was compelled by
the dean to remain and listen to a rebuke
The dean was making his way 10 other
rooms when the bartender interfered, and
the aged clergyman, who is past seventy
years, struck him a singing blow in the
face The bartender reeled and the dean
made his way up to the rooms and drove
out the men and women, OF whom there
were about half dozen.
In explaining how he came to visit the
saloon the dean said: Il was visited by a
woman who complained about her husband
drinking. and she wished me to go and see
him. / thought / would go in the front
Way and look around. as any citizen has
the right TO do. The bartender sprang from
behind the bar and attempted to stop me
This enraged me so / was determined TO
see what was going on in the side rooms
and l slapped the fellow hard across the
face. He did not interfere further"

GREAT SEA FIGHT IS
NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR

TOXIC, Feb. 2s.-As the campaign pro-
crosses il seems that the chances are grow
ing Simmer for a great pitched battle on
the open sea between the fleets of modern
battleships which the world has long
awaited. 1t is believed here that the Rus
slams lack the strength to assume the Of
fensve and that they probably will stick
to Port Arthur dOggedly, to await sea
and land investment. Whoever wins the
war. Port Arthur Will cease TO be an i'm
pOrtant base. The fOrtihcatiOns probably
will be dismantled. as they are small and
crampcd. and however many guns are de-
Tending, it is thought they are incapable of
insuring protection. 1t is estimated that
the Russians have 200 guns mounted at
Port Arthur making it, theoretically. one
OF the strongest forts in the world
in regard TO the opening of Win, for
which United States Minister Allen has
long been pressing. ii has been decided to
await the formal announcement of the
Japanese. whose influence is now dominant
in Korea. Japan undoubtedly approves,
and the incident has a significant bearing
on the future of Korea. assuming that ia
pan is triumphant.

HEAVY FIGHTING IS
EXPECTED BY RUSSIA

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2S.-The official
announcement by Major General Plug
chief Of staff to Viceroy Alexieff, that Rus
sian cavalry had crossed the Yalu river. is
expected to be followed shortly by news Of
rather heavy land fighting. as according to
seemingly trustworthy reports General
Lenevitch has sent a whole army corps
of infantry TO support the Cossacks, who
have penetrated TO a. point below ANU and
vho are reported 10 have beaten the Jap
anese in several skirmishes. Nevertheless,
IL this movement in force is progressing, it
must not be assumed that the Russians
have taken the offensive but rather that
they are taking UP a strong position IN
northern Korea in order 10 check the ad-
vance of the formidable army OF japanese
landing on both shores OF Korea while
the concentration of Russian troops be-
hind the Yalu is being completed This
concentration is making better progress
than is generally believed abroad.
The movement Of troops eastward over
the Transsiberian Railroad will be greatly
accelerated hcnceforth. Geographic re-
ports say that the ice railroad over Lake
Baikal was completed to-day. Up to this
time the tracks have beer used az far as
laid. the soldiers marching from the term
linus OF the line up tC the other shore.

RUSSIANS EXCITED AND
FEAR JAPANESE ATTACK
Eyewitness Tell the Story of
the Recent Fight at Port
Arthur.
EXPELLING FOREIGNERS

YIN-KOw, Feb. 2S.-The first reports by
eyewitnesses of the engagement at Port
Arthur in the carly morning OF Wednesday
last have been received here. They say that
one japanese coal hulk was sunk and one
beached near the Retvizan, and that nine
teen Japanese in civilian clothes reached
shore ana were made prisoners. The As
kciG and Bayan approached the japanese
heet and then retired, being unable to en-
tice the enemy to engage them. From a
long range two shells struck in the city.
The Retvizan is serviceable as an auXil-
iaTy fort, but the foreign engineer has
abandoned the hope of raising her. as the
patching Oh the forty-foot cleft made by
a japanese torpedo has given way and
stopped progress, and the Russian ensi-
neers have interfered with the original
plans OF raising the vessel
The CzareNtch is kept afloat by constant
pumping. The Novik has been repaired
and the Pallada has been locked.
Repeated attacks by the Japanese during
M past week nave resulted IN the cohstani
shl1ung or the troops, including the naVal
contingent organized from the crews OF the
disabled and idle warshipS. to all parts of
the defenses and also TO the hinteriand.
Refugees who have arrived here report
that the Russians mOmentarily fear a land
investment of Port Arthur from Pigeon
bay. -Four trains of Russian refugees from
points south of Taschischias went north
yesterday.
One American citizen and two British
subjects who were expelled from Port Ar
thur without being given the right to re-
move their property declare they were ex-
PEELED because of alleged relations with
newspaper correspondents, which charge
they say was unjustifiable. though the au-
thorities declare that they are justified in
expelling all civilians who are not required
for defense
The authorities have refused to permit
the British Captain Riddle to take his ship,
the FoXton Hall, to Che-Foo. 1t is UNI
derstood that if the ship is released a Rus
sian skipper will be sent with her for the
purpose of preventing intelligence of the
Russian operations being given to the Jap

Lieutenant Saito's command was Killed
while lowering a boat on the Jinsen Maru.
The details OF how the. steamers were taken

Lieutenant SaitO said they got SO close
TO the Retvizan that. had they been armed
with rifles they could have fired into her
crew
When il was found that the scheme was a
failure they dropped anchor and the crews
crowded into the remaining boats. They
then blew up the steamers. 4 strong wind
and the glare OF the lights prevented the
men reaching the torpedo hotlia and at
daylight they were out OF sight OF the feet

they reached the same evening. The boats
did not land together. but the men found
each other on the islands They chartered
