TO ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE.
Socialists Will Fight Movement to
Support the Vatican.
to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, n. Y, August ga cable
gram from Paris says: The socialists are
preparing to take up the challenge of
Compte De- Nun in his appeal to tie ultra
montane element in France to organize a
great popular demonstration of homage and
fidelity to the pope and protest against the
rupture of diplomatic relations with the
Vatican. The socialist organ, Petite Re
publique, proposes the presentation of
petition to the legisla ture by all French re-
publicans protesting against the national
abdication of French Catholics before the
papacy.
In an interview at Pons NJ. Combes, the
French premier, said he believed the MAIN
tenance of the concordat was impossible.
The Vatican, he added, is continually vio-
lating the pact which the French govern
ment has respected, and the opposition of
the Vatican to the nomination of bishops
has become systematic. Separation of
church and state would be inevitable. Re-
ferring to protection of Catholics Combes
said every nation should protect its own
subjects, were they Jews, Protestants, Ma
hommedans or Catholics The majority OF
French subjects happen to be Catholics,
and France would protect them.

WANTS VESSELS INSPECTED.
Japan Desires to Inspect Russian Ships
Dismantled at Shanghai.

Mr.. Takahira. the japanese minister here
called upon Acting Secretary Adee of the
State Department today to talk over the
settlement OF the questions connected with
the presence of the two Russian warships
in the harbor of Shanghai. The minister
expressed qualification at the outcome of
the negotiations in the agreement to dis
arm the vessels and lay them up during the
war, but he regarded it as essential that
the completeness of the disarmament of
the ships be esta blishcd to the satisfaction
of the Japanese government through a per-
sonal inspection of the craft by japanese
naval officer designated for that purpose.
AS this course was pursued in the case of
the CZarevitch at Tsingtau, the German
port on the Shantung peninsula, without
much objection from Russian quarters, it
is expected that consent will also be given
to the examination of the ASkold and Gro
Zovoi at Shanghai.
1t is intimated here that there are two
reasons why the Japanese government is
not disposed to press its original objection
against the course pursued by the Russian
vessels in taking refuge in this fashion in
Chinese treaty ports and insisting upon its
right to cut them out. The first reason Is
that Japan, more than any other country
at this moment, desires to maintain in full
force the agreement to preserve Chinese
neutrality and thereby avoid entangling
powers at present neutral IN the great
struggle row going on. And the second
ultimate victory over Russia the japanese
contemplate the inclusion in the peace
treaty of a provision for the surrender to
Japan of all the Russian naval vessels dis
mantled and laid up in Chinese ports as
well as any that may be found in Port
Arthur and Vladivostok, so it is not reluc-
tant to have their prospective property pre-
served intact, until the end of the war by
China.
The Navy Department today received a
catlegram from Rear Admiral Yates Stirl-
ing commander-in-chie of the Asiatic fleet,
dated Shanghai, today. saying that s1tua-
ton there is quiet and that he regards the
incident of the disarmament of the Rus
sian ships as closed.
The Shanghai newspapers UNANIMOUSLY
regard the outcome of the recent situation
as due in no small measure to the diplo-
macy and the act of John Goodnow, the
American consul general there.

ASSURANCES GIVEN PANAMA.
Announcement Made by Minister Bar
rett Has a Good Effect

1t is learned that the American minister
TO Panama, Mr.. John Barrett, acting under
instructions from the State Department
has assured the Panaman government that
the United States will do nothing, in its
Interpretation of the treaty regarding the
troublesome port question, which is In any,
way inconsistent with the honor and true
interests of both countries and that 1t will
not adopt any permanent policy as to the
main issue involved in the port matter
without fully comforting with the Panaman
authorities. This announcement has had
good effect in hte isthmus.
Minister Barrett has suggested to the
State Department that the United States
government lend its aid to prevent Panama
from becoming resort for adventurers.
In the old days when the discovery of gold
liz California made Panama busy hfgn-
way there was much lawlessness. The
people of Panama are anxious tosbenefit as

RUSSIAN REPORTS EXAGGERATED
japanese Losses Not So Heavy as An
nounced

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK August 26.-A cable dis
patch from LONDON says:
According to the most reliable information
received here the Russian reports of jap
anese losses at Port Arthur and elsewhere
have been grossly exaggerated. The Times
says: The Russian losses have not been
honestly admitted and they must be GAL
culated on the basis of Russian dead buried
by japanese. In fifteen engagements large
and small, all of them Russian defeats the
calculation works out a Russian loss OF
- 800 killed and wounded, besides 113 guns
and eighteen MaXimS captured by the en-
emy. Excluding the Port Arthur garrison,
we have to deduct 2S,0OO men as casualties
of the army under kuropatkin's direct and
personal command. Allowing that the whole
of the nth Army Corps has now reached
him, he should now have 10000 men and
over 400 guns at his disposal. 1t is not our
business to disclose the Japanese numbers
and We need only note the figures given by
the operations bureau of the Russian war
office, namely, 22p,0D0 men and 600 guns for
the field armies and 100000 men besieging
Port Arthur.
