SALVADOR MUST
GIVE FULL PAY
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Colonel John
P. Irish, who has been here some weeks
prosecuting claim as attorney for CAL
ifornia clients against the Government
of Salvador, leaves tomorrow for San
Francisco, having been successful in
enlisting the State Department in be-
half of his clients as against the recall
citrant Salvadorean Government. He
considers this, of course. a virtual win
ming of the case, which involves large
amount of money. The case is now
known as the FL Triunfo award against
Salvador and grew out of the robbing
of certain American citizens in that
country some years ago. The original
judgment against the Government
to 523,163, but was afterward
at s45O,OOO, which Salvador
under the seal of its Government, af-
fixed in this city August II, 1903, agreed
to pay. 1t has failed to do so, however,
and the State Department to-day gave
notice that it must make immediate
compliance with its agreement or the
Government of the United States will
require it to pay the full amount of the
judgment.

gunboat Habicht:
THE garrisons at Windhoek and Okla

company with two guns. The relief
of Okahandja occurred January q.
Emperor Williams birthday, and was
without losses.
ION January % there occurred ter
rife battle between the gallant little
German force and the enemy, who
numbered thousands. The engagement
lasted for six hours and ended with the
storming of the main camp Of the en-
emy, situated on Kaiser Wilhelm
Mountain. Four Germans were wound

succeeded in getting away all the
stolen cattle The enemy devastated
all the farms and the railroad stations
in the Windhoek and Okahandja dis
tricts, a portion of Karibib and the
barracks Of the mountain battery at
Johann Albrecht Heights. The losses
so far are known to be forty-fOur set

killed, and in most cases the bodies
were mutilated. The military losses
amount to twenty-six and there have
been fifty other fatalities. 1t is prob
able that Catadis has been besieged
since January 16. The march on Omar
urnr will be begun tomorrow. Colonel
Leutwein, Governor of German South
west Africa. is expected here by
steamer on February 8. Lieutenant
Winkler has arrived here with supports
from the steamer Ernest Woermann.
This news was circulated here in ex-
ira editions Of the papers tonight and
caused universal rejoicing.

gard to the whereabouts of Colonel

at Port Nolloth, Cape Colony, and
afterward sailed for Swakopmund,
where he is due to arrive February 5.
A cablegram has been received here
from the commander Of the German
gunboat Habicht, saying that the gar
risons at Windhoek and Okahandja
have been relieved. The latter place
was taken by storm The tribesmen

LORENz OWED
MACHEN MONEY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Shortly be-
fore adjournment to-day counsel for
the defense in the postal trial produced
a note dated July 1. 1888, for $4,000
drawn by George E. Lorenz in favor of
August w. Machen. In the opening
statement of the defense Kumler, in
behalf Of Lorenz, said he would prove
the existence of an indebtedness of this
amount on the part Of Lorenz to Ma
chen. The note, he said to-day, was
offered for this purpose and explained
various remittances forwarded by
I,orenz to Machen. A hundred or more
notes. aggregating over $53,OOO, were
identified by President S. d. Carr of
the National Bank of Commerce of To-
ledo. as having been discounted by his
hank on the Endorsement of Lorenz and
his brother and Machen, the loans hav-
ing been made to enable them to de-
veIop their oil properties in Wood
County. Ohio. Carr further testified
that Machen had sold out his interest
to Lorenz, the bank thereafter accept
ing the single Endorsement of George
e. Lorenz.
Earlier in the day Diller B. Croft pro-
duced various checks in favor of his
brother as evidence that he had paid
him all mat was due as his share of
the profits. Croft explained his failure
to send remittances to Lorenz after
November, 1902, by the fact that the
Government still owed Croft Brothers
ST.. 900 and that it was necessary to pay
the manufacturers of the fasteners. J.
H. McGill, patent attorney, testified
that the Miller device, which had been
referred to in the course of the trial,
was an infringement of the Croft fast

St. Petersburg Newspaper Blames
Uncle Sam for the Trouble.
ST..

LONDON, Feb. Especial dispatches
received here from the Far East and
published this morning add nothing
to the knowledge of the actual situa-
ton.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph quotes from the
Novoe Vremya a bitter editorial at
tack upon the United States, which he
supposes to be an outcome of the dis
patch of American Consuls to Mukden
and Antung. The Novoe Vremya ac-
cuses the United States of a desire to
win the hegemony of the entire globe
and exclude Europe from the Far East
ern market. and declares "if, as it
seems likely, war breaks out, it will
have been instigated by tn Yankees
with their utilitarian views"
Baron Hayashi, Japanese Minister
to Great Britain, described the situa-
ton in the Far East as certainly very
threatening" but said everything de-
pended upon Russia's reply. "It is
highly improbable the Minister con-
tInued. that Russia will make any
aggressive move before the Japanese
Government has received and cOnsd-
cred Russia's reply. What Russia
wishes to DO is to throw the responsible
ity of taking the initiative upon
Japan" The foregoing utterances

elder statesmen and military and
naval chiefs was held to-day at the
residence of Premier Katsura. The
meeting is believed to have been of
much Importance, though no details of
the discussion have been made public.
Possibly il foreshadows energetic ac-
ton on account of Russian proscratina-
ton.
Although the Government officials
continue reticent. 1t is manifest that
the situation is of the gravest and that
a crisis is near at hands The time in
which the Russian reply will continue
10 be a factor in the situation is mar
rowing. The patience of the Govern
ment is becoming exhausted and If the
expected answer is delayed many days
longer the issuance of an ultimatum
by Japan will become inevitable. The
japanese feel that the existing condf-
tions have entitled them TO a more
prompt reply and are bound to infer
that the st. Petersburg Government is
determined not to yield, but it utilizing
the time TO advance its preparations
for war.

that two Russian regiments are suf-

sistent With Dignity.
PARIS, Feb. 4.-The Revue Russo
says it has just received authoritative
information showing that Russia is
resolutely maintaining a pacific policy
and in the note about to be transmitted
to Japan she has made all the conces-
sions compatible with dignity. Russia
viii declare therein, the paper contin-
ues, that her interests in connection
with the railroad are too great for her
not TO insist upon occupying a position
which viii enable her to protect this
costly enterprise. but she recognizes
also the right of Japan TO develop. ex-
tend and create outlets In Manchuria
as well as IN Korea. The contents in
the Russian note, the Revue Russo
AYERS, are known in Toxic, where they
have created a most favorable imprcs-
sion. In any case, the paper concludes.
Russia has decided not to engage Japan
unless she is directly attacked.
The Matin this morning quotes what
il terms a high English authority" for
the following statement:
IF Japan seeks to begin war by re-
Jecting Russia's forthcoming response
Great Britain will use all her influence
to hold her back"
A dispatch from Port Arthur to the
Paris edition Of the New York Herald
says an American firm has secured
contract for the construction of ex-
tensive barracks at various points in

REDMOND OUTLINES
COURSE OF IRISH PARTY
Ireland's Leader Says There Is No
Such Thing as an Alternative to
Homo Rule.

LONDON. Feb. 3.-"For the Irish
party there is no such thing as an al
tentative policy to home rule" declared
John Redmond, the leader of the Irish
Parliamentary party, in the House of
Commons to-day as he resumed debate
on the address in reply to the speech
from the throne. Redmond proceeded
to detail the various grievances of Ire
land. incidentally informing the Liber-
ais that it was delusion to suppose they
could count on Irish support by prom
ising an alternative policy to the home
rulers. Because the Irish obtained an
act last year remedying some of the
evils of past governments some persons
seemed to think that the Irish question
was shelved, but no concession could
weaken the bill for government
On the contrary. every concession they
had obtained or might obtain would be
used for the furtherance of the contest
for home rule. The Irish would rather
govern themselves badly than be gov
erned well by another nation.
