RESPONSIBILITY OF HAITI
Must Suffer for Violating Laws Of In
ternational Friendship,

The State Department has taken note OF
the press report Of the dispatch of war
ships by France and Germany to Haiti to
secure reparation for the attack upon the
persons OF the French and German min
listers recently by Haitian soldiers at Port
au Prince. The department has not been
formally advised of the intentions of
France and Germany, but Of course 1t
assumes that these are perfectly reason
able. Following its invariable rule In such
cases the department will not intervene
unless some act Is committed that appears
to be beyond the bounds of strict Justice
1t Is said that the State Department has
never taken the. ground that the smaller
american republics were to be protected by
the United States either against reclama--
lions by European powers for violated con-
ttractual obligations Or against proper de-
mands arising out of violatio of inter-
national obligations
So, II the demands made upon Haiti by
france and Germany are not excessive or
oppressive In the judgment of the State
Department considering the nature of the
offense In this case. there will be no inter.
ference by the United States government,
but developments will be watched with the
keenest interest to see that the line is
properly drawn and undue punishment is
not inflicted 1t Is not doubted that the
Haitian government will supplement its
letter of apology by Furnishing the guards
men who insulted the foreign minister's

CURTIS FILES CHARGES.
Allegations Regarding the Admins
tration of Consul Goodnow.

tration Of Consul Goodnow.
Agreeable to his undertaking entered In
to six months ago, Mr.. c. F. Curtis an
American lawyer practicing in Shanghai.
has arrived at the State Department with
a vast mass OF supplemental charges
against Mr.. John Goodnow United States
consul at Shanghai. Originally, Mr.. Curtis
claimed to represent nearly all the Ameri-
can business element in Shanghai in the
presentation of charges against Mr.. Good
now. of alleged extortion. blackmaIl and
maladministration of justice as a consular
officer. These original charges were ex-
amined at the State Department but were
found to be too broad and indefinite to
warrant action upon them. Third Assistant
Secretary Peirce was charged to make a
special investigation of the Shanghai con-
sulate in the course of his tour of tnspec-
ton In the far east and 1t is presumed that
he has completed that work and is now on
his way home.
Meanwhile Mr.. Curtis who undertook to
collect detailed evidence to support his
broad allegations. put In six months hard
work In doing so, and the result he has now
filed with the State Department. The
documents will be kept intact until Secre-
tary Peirce's return, when they will be
turned over to him In order that he may
make use of them In preparing his own re-
port upon Mr.. Goodnow's administration.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, June 29.-The state re-

delegates to control the temporary, organ

will be successful in carrying of the p0mi-
nation. -. -s-~-.s.- 49, 81.
There has been talk ola split into. two
conventions, but such rumors have been
deprecated by the leaders on each side and
now 1t Is believed that the fight will be
fought to a finish in the regular convention.
The fact that the Dunn supporters In
Ramsay and Hennepin counties (St Paul
and Minneapolis) bolted the regular county
conventions and held conventions of their
own has added interest to the contest. In
six other counties double conventions were
held. some by the Dunn people. and others
by the Collins element.

by the state central committee tenn

ward March.
HAI-CHEN0, June 28-The Japanese are
continuing to advance from Siu-Yen and
Feng-Wang-Cheng General Oku Is also
moving north from Senu-Chen. General
Samsonoff is contesting his progress. but
IL not Offering serious resistance. The Japa-
nese force advancing from the Molten
pass % 10 composed of at least three regf-
ments and ten batteries of artillery. A
force Of equal strength Ia advancing from
Fen-Shui pass on the high road to Lao
Yang. The flank move on the latter -
supported by column marching from Sal
Matsza.
It would appear that confusion has arisen
through the use of the words Molten
pass" In Gen. Kuropatkins dispatch OF
June q. The Molten pass. known as the
Gate Of Mukden." IS easily located. but
troops would not be likely to advance from
there on Haf-Cheng or Ta-Tche-Kiao. as
they would have to move nearly one hun
dred miles southwest after getting through
the pass. On the other hand. there Is q
Mono-Tien pass nearly east OF Hai-Cheng
and about forty miles from that town. 1t
is possible that Mono-Tien pass has been
meant when Molten pass was mentioned,
1t also seems probable that the reference
to Ia Pass in Gen. kuropatkin's dispatch
meant "Dalin Pass" or "Daling." other
miles southwest of Ta-Tche-Kiao.
1t was announced from Hai-Cheng last
night that heavy engagement was expect
ed today near the village of Si-Mou-Cheng.
fifteen miles south southeast of Haf-Cheng
and an equal distance due east of the rail-
road.
siMou-Cheng is about thirty miles from
Mono-Tien pass.
