VANISHING
JURY LIST
Continued from page 80

THE DREDGING CONTRACT.
In the suit for compensation, under
agreement relative to Pearl Harbor
dredging, of Clark e Henery VS.. II.
Hackfeld & Co., Ltd, and Castle &
Cooke, Ltd, Judge De Bolt yesterday
overrued the demurrer of the Hack
field company, giving it five days in
which to answer. A. S. Hartwell for
plaintiff; II. e. Cooper for defendant.
The grounds of demurrer, briefly,
We're that there was no cause of action
against this defendant" that If $500
was guaranteed at all, it was by the
Oahu Sugar Co. and the Eva Planta-
t ion Co. and not by this defendant; that
| it did not appear that this defendant
was ever satisfied that the opening of
the channel of Pearl Harbor would
open the same to commerce.; that it did
not appear that plaintiffs did the neces-
sary work to be performed to make the
channel of Pearl Harbor 200 feet wide
at the bottom and thirty feet deep, or
that said channel was made of those
dimensions, and lastly, that the COM
plant is ambiguous as to the agree
ment
The argument in support of the de-
murrer was mainly that there was no
liability of the guarantors because the
plantation companies were not liable.
Judge De Bolt overruled the demurrer,
regarding the defendants guaranty as
an original agreement. All the other
grounds We're likewise overruled.

Washington, May 7.-S5Cretary Shaw this afternoon signed a treasury war rant for S4O,O0OOOO which will be Ge- livered next Monday to J. P Morgan and company of New York as dishurs- ing agents of this government, on ac- count of the Panama canal purchase. The warrant is dated May and will be delivered by Secretary Shaw per sonally on Monday next.

 In 1899 this government paid Spain through the French ambassador S26. = CG0000 for the Philippine Islands. but this sum was represented by four war rants of $5,000,000 each. The $15.

St. Petersburg Officials Gan Only Conjecture
IN KUROPATKIN'S HANDS
There Is a Confidence, Though, That lie Will Move Cautiously and Shill- fully-An Expectation That Japan ese Will Spread Over Peninsula.

St. Petersburg, May 7.--When the war commission adjourned this morn ing it failed to give cut any official dis patches regarding the situation on Liao Tung peninsula or at Feng Wang Cheng. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the Japanese troops were in touch with the Russian forces at Feng Wang Cheng and the report that the latter had evacuated that place is gen. orally credited. Surprise is caused by the withdrawal of General Kuropatkin toward his base at Liao Yeng, as it is stated that immediately after he learn ed of General Zassalitch's losses, he sent reinforcement to him to retain his position.
 Officials here frankly confess, how ever, that they are not fully informed of Kuropatkin's plans. He is in sole charge of operations in Manchuria The emperor decided that when General KurOpatlsfn started out he should have complete independence % there could be no ground for complaint that he was hampered by instructions from officers in St. Petersburg, who could rot pos sibly know all conditions. which the troops in the field would meet. Kuro- patkin therefore has made his own dis positions and formulated his own plan. What little is known here shows that he intends to observe the same eau ton that has distinguished the ope- rations of the Japanese. Finding that he could not offer battle at Feng Wang Cheng with an even chance of success. he decided to fall back it is believed. to Mao-Tien pass. Back of the pass is another pass, near which is a tempor- ary railroad connecting with Liao Yang. Considerable comment has been aroused in military circles.
 The Japanese have followed up to now practically in all respects their plans in the Chmo-Japanese war. They have crossed the Xalu at the same place and landed upon Liao Tung pen insua at the same points, and it is be- lieved they will continue their tactics. as their dispositions foreshadow the movements made in 1894
 It is not at all unlikely that another Japanese army will be landed upon the peninsula, which will move northward along the railroad line. During the no-Japanese war the Japanese cap- tured Port Arthur two weeks after their disembarkation upon the penfn- sula. The Russians say the Japanese will not find it so easy a task to reduce Port Arthur as they did before The Japanese army marching northward along the railroad. once past Kaiping can compel the Russians to evacuate New Chwang or else undergo a battle and state of siege. If the march IS prosecuted as far as Hai Cheng, where the Japanese defeated the Chinese army. General Kuropatkin will have to abandon Mao Tien pass in consequence

Half the crews were rescued by our flotilla. Three steamers struck mines and sank before reaching the entrance to the harbor. Two torpedo boats were slight ly damaged by the Russian fire.

THE PUEBLO GRAND JURY
The Rotteness Its Investigations Have
 Disclosed.

Pueblo, Colo, May 7.-The report of the grand jury sitting since March 16 last was made today. Beside return ing seven indictments against county and city officials the jury submitted a general report on existing conditions and suggested a large number of re- concentrations in the conduct of pub lie business. A. H. Smith and John T. West, county commissioners, are mentioned together ir two bills: Smith alone in two bills and City Detective E.. H. Wilson in three indictments. The county commissioners are charg- ed with having unlawful interests in contracts and bribery and the detect i've is charged with embeZZlement and larceny. There are other indictments against Wilson.
 In summing up it's investigation the grand jury finds that extravaganza has been rampant in both city and county affairs; that the city jail is a disgrace to a civilized community. that the s12,-

FRENCH SYMPATHY.
A Financial Expression of Confidence
 in RGssia's Ultimate Triumph.

Paris, May 7.-The critical situation of Russia's land and sea forces ex- cites fCvcrish interest, the Russian re- verses causing almost as much depres- sion here as at St. Petersburg. An organization called les Fe1nmes ,Ie France turned over to the Russian embassy today two complete field hos pitals of 100 beds each This organ!- zation is composed of wuner in large cities throughout France including msmbers of many noble families. Two more hospital outfits will be assembled shortly. The embassy sends these hospitals to thc front under the Girec- tion Of the empress, who is personally experimenting the efforts Of the French women in behalf of the Rus sian wounded.
 The official view is that Russia has suffered serious but not an irrepar- able blow. The foreign office had not received tonight official confirmation that OPTt Arthur is completely invest cd by the land and sea. but a leading official said: We accept the invest ment as an accomplished fact. for even if the harbOr is not completely block d an investment exists for practical pur- poses. The landing ie considered merely preliminary to the supreme struggle, which will soon occur near Mukden. Upon this will largely de- psnd the outcome of tie war"
 Diplomatic negotiations during the week took a definite form to restrai n China from joining the Japanese or otherwise breaking neutrality. The French minister at Pekin, and, it is understood, the ministers of all the powers, including the United States, joined in the representation. The re- suits have been satisfactory, the i'm perial government giving a positive promise not to vary from a rigid ob- servance of neutrality. OficiaT are somewhat doubtful of the Chinese promises. as they recall that after a former declaration of neutrality, China permitted the Black Flags to as

sail French interests. However. China s positive declaration, backed by the identical position of the powers, is con- sidered as reducing Chinas participa- ton to the minimum.
 The readiness with which the Rus sian loan was placed in Paris is a further evidence of French sympathy and belief in the certainty of Rus sia's eventual success. Although the outside amount Russia desired was sl5C, ,100,000, a single group of French bankers was ready to underwrite a S200 000,CU0 loan. NJ. Hottinger and M. Noetzlin will arrive from St. Peters burg on Monday and complete ar engagements to issue the loan. One Of the sons of Baron Hotting5r, tn ? founder of the great banking house, married Miss Munroefi the sister of an American banker. This led to the belief that a portion of the loan might go to the United States. American bankers say that no portion of it is likely to be taken in New York. It is pointed out that the placing of Rus sian securities on the New York stock exchange has not proved the success that was expected. A leading Rus sian official here said that not a single Russian bond had been bought in America since the listing took place.
 The same official gave the following interesting account of how the Rus sian army in the far east is paid: "What payments are made are in small Russian coins CT notes These notes are readily taken by the Chinese, who are familiar with the Russian finan- cial issues. The notes are then ex- changed by the station masters of the Eastern Chinese railroad or the agln- cies of the Russo-Chinese bank at a rate of exchange fixed by the minister of finance according to the price of silver in London. The confidence of the Chinese public in Russian notes is very great. The Russo-ChineEe bank keeps a silver fund to exchange fer notes in Manchuria, it being a signifi- cant fact that Russian notes are pre- ferred to silver in Manchuria."
