WARSHIPS ARE

Russian Auxiliary Cruiser lie a Is
Surrounded by Them.
MEET AT NAVY YARD
II Is Thought the Conference Held
at the Mare Island Establish.
ment Will Result In the
Lena Dismantling.

San Francisco. Sept 16.-Guarded
by several American warships. the
Russian auxiliary cruiser, Lena, lies
in the same position In the bay. where
she dropped anchor Sunday afternoon.
Wednesday. under the direction of the
United States navy, an inspection was
begun and a disposition of the vessel
will doubtless depend upon the report
of the investigation The members
OF the board are all trained engineers
and the work will be searching and
conclusive. The visit Wednesday of
Captain Berlinsky and Russian Con-
sui Koskavitch, to the Mare Island
navy yards regarded as significant.as
II is believed to portend the dismant-
ling of the Lena. They were courte-
ously attended by Rear Admiral NC
Gala. Rear Admiral Goodrich assem-
bled all of the naval commanders In
this port on board the flagship New
York and acquainted them fully with
all developments in the case. and, It
is surmised, instructed them as 10
procedure IN the event Vi uiiseeh Soh-
tingencies.
1t is learned that the destroyer Per-
~ will soon be brought down from
Mare Island and added to the vessels
now surrounding the Lena.
An outcome of the arrival Of the
Russian cruiser will probably be
the maintenance permanently in San
Francisco har' or of number of war
ships TO be prepared to deal with any
similar emergency during the Rus
SIAN japanese war. Had the Lena ar
rived twenty-four hours later San
Francisco would not have had sin
gle American war vessel, as the
squadron had been ordered to sail the
next day TO other waters for target
practice.

TAX MANcHURiANS.

Were In Possession.


Mukoen. Sept. 1.-THE japanese
are causing sensation among the
natives Of Manchuria as they advance
by establishing their own system of
taxation and administration as though
the country were actual japanese
territory. They are paying for supplies
with promissory notes on the war
fund a blanket note being given for
the payment of each village on the
basis of population. leaving the resi-
dents to divide pro rata. They have
even notified the government of Muk-
den to discontinue the salt tax, as
will be readjusted upon japanese
basis. They have almost doubled the
customs duties at Yinkow. and have
placed such a heavy tax upon the
thousands of boats sailing thence as
practically to paralyse trade.
Much bushwhacking is going on
upon the road south OF Mukden and
many Russian soldiers have been KILL
ed from the field of Chinese corn.
However. the corn harvest will soon
begin and when the fields are cleared
the country will be much more suit
able for military operations. Tns
