PRAISES KURoPATKIN.
Enormous Difficulties SurmOunted by the RnssIan General.

London, Sept. 15.-The Daily Mails correspondent with General Kuropatkin writes under date of September 6. an interesting analysis of Russian stra- tegy to the eve of the battle of Liao- yang, bestowing the highest praise upon Kuropatkin's skillful handling and withdrawal of the weak. scattered Russian forces without demoralization- The correspondent says:
 Tt Is too early as yet to speak of the appalling and almost inconceivable difficulties that faced Kuropatkin dur ing the first phase of the campaign. Some day 1t will be known how many. or rather. how few, troops he had when he arrived in Manchuria and what pro- portion. or rather disproportion. were keen. ardent young soldiers of Russia. Russia will know how far Russian levies were equipped for the task they had to perform; and when the facts are known the world will realize the enormous responsibility cast upon this silent resolute man and with what strength. silence and resolution he faced and conquered It."

ANOTHER VESSEL FEN ROUTE.
Russian Auxiliary Cruier Korea Due at
 American Port.

Paris. Sept 14.-The correspondent of The Echo De Paris at St. Petersburg. has telegraphed to his paper as fol- lows:
 The Ministry of Marine tells me re- garding the arrival of the Russian transport Lena at San Francisco. that another vessel, the Korea,is also due at an American port on the Pacific. Orders have been sent to the Russian ships to scrupulously conform to the American neutrality rules which are expected to permit them taking on enough coal to reach Vladivostok. I consider the situation very delicate. as there Is evil dence that the ships were destined to prevent the transport of contraband goods from the United States to Japan, and perhaps capture vessels carrying contraband.
 An admiral on the staff of the en- peror and closely related to Viceroy Alexieff, tells me that Alexieff event ually will be succeeded by Foreign Min ister Lamsdorff, and that he will adopt l strong diplomatic policy"

 Mexico City, Sept. 14.--The police of the city were interviewed tonight in regard to a story published in the United States under a Houston. Tex, date in which 8 dispatch as sent to this city tells of an alleged conspiracy on the part of two Spaniards, natives of Barcelona. to assassinate President Roosevelt. of the United States.
 The dispatch stated thak the police dena rtnant had advance information of the coming conspirators. and had arranged to apprehend them upon their arrival at Vera Cruz. but further states that the plans of the police miscarried and that the alleged criminals had landed and disappeared.
 The police officials interviewed de- nied positively that there was any truth in the report and stated that in view of the friendly relations existing between the sister republics, if ad- vance information of the coming of two dangerous criminals had been re- ceived steps would at once have been taken to apprehend the men and get the facts.
 The officials branded the published story as a canard pure and simple.

 San Francisco, Sept. 14,-Captain Berlinsky of the Russian transport Lena, accompanied by two ot his off, cers and the Russian consul at thls port, went to Mare Island today. The avowed object of their trip was to call on Rear Admiral Mccall, the comman- dant of the navy yard. Well informed of1cials, however express the opinion that the visit may include an inspec- tion of the place where 1t Is not un- likely the Lena may be laid up for an indefinite time in the event of its dis armament.
 No confirmation can be obtained of the story telegraphed from St. Paul to the effect that the Lena had been engaged with two Japanese cruisers in the vicinity of Reedfeld reef and bad ly damaged by gunshots. Lieutenant Bulger found no marks of the Lena having been in conflict.

The Japanese are reported to be collecting taxes and other wise administering affairs in Manchuria, as though that country were conquered terri tory.

market more frequently. Honduras

Coast. At New Orleans there is
only fair demand. At current
prices market is firm, particularly
on the higher grades. Ia the ln-
terror Southwest Louisiana stocks
are mainly centered in the hands
of few strong holders and the
general tone is improving. Ia
Texas, the season is drawing to
close, with moderate holdings in
some of the mills, while others
have shut down for the season.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad note little change. The

about 100000 bags less then
