SAW CHEMULPO
NAVAL BATTLE
BISHOP MOORE WHO is A PAS
SENGER ON THE CHINA, SAW
DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIANS.

Bishop D. H. Moore, the head of the
Methodist Church in Japan, Korea and
China is a through passenger on the
S. S. China for San Francisco Bishop
Moore is one of the few Europeans who
has passed through here, who witness
ed the naval fight at Chemulpo on Feb
ruary when the Japanese fleet sunk
the Russian cruiser Variag.
I'm company with General H. T.
Allen the head of the Philippine con-
sIabulary," said Bishop Moore this
morning Il boarded the Russian
steamer Sungan at Shanghai for the
purpose of going to Chemulpo. We were
the only passengers. 1t was general
ly believed that hostilities between Jap
an and Russia would occur at almost
any moment, so there was not much
disposition on the part of people to
travel on the vessels of either country.
It was important that l should reach
Korea however, and as General Allen
also desired to reach Korea, we both
| took the Sungari. We arrived at Che
mulpo the morning Of February s. 1t
was not until the following day that
the Japanese fleet appeared and the
fight took place. When we reached
Chemulpo we anchored close to the two
Russian warshlps,
After the Japanese sent in word to
the Russian commanders and the va
TiOus officials ashore that the Russian
boats would be attacked inside the
harbor unless the vessels came out, ii
was apparent that we were to soon
witness "A naval engagement, The two
Russian vessels had no choice in the
matter. They protested against be-
| ing attacked in a neutral port but
the Japanese were very determined and
the Russians soon realized that they
would have to go out and meet the
Japanese fleet or else be attacked i'm the
harbOr.
The two boats went out. The Jap
anese were in much greater force and
within a short time had driven both
boats back into the harbOr, the Nariag
being in a sinking condition. There
was no possibility of the Russian ships
escaping so in order to prevent their
falling into the hands of the japanese,
the Russians decided to sink the gun
boat and the Sungari. The crews left
the vessels The KOreitz was blown
up and the other vessel sunk. 1t was
difficult to see much of the battle out
side of the harbor but what occurred
inside the harbor was plainly enough
visible to the watchers ashore and on
the various vessels I'm the harbor. The
different foreign warships in the harbor
rescued the crews of the various boats
and especially those on the Variag.
The latter vessel sunk Many of her
crew We're killed"
Bishop Moore has been in charge of
the Methodist missions in China, ko-
rea and Japan for the last four years.
He is now going to Los Angeles to at
tend the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church which
meets the first Wednesday in May at
that city. 1t is not likely that he viii

be sent tojPther fields of work. He is

THE TRUTH

following:
Senator w. j. Stone, of Missouri,
while on his way to st. Louis, accom-
panied by Colonel j. NJ. Guffey, leader
of the Pennsylvania Democracy, was
interviewed at Pittsburg, and is report
ed to have expressed a doubt whether
either Parker or Hearst would have a
majority of the delegates, to the St.
Louis convention when that body
should convene. AS to what might
happen later he ventured no prediction
That Mr.. Hearst win not have a ma
jOrity, either at the opening of the con-
vention or later, may be taken for

Two suspicious transactions in Hawaii
land offices which may lead to prosecu-
ions for embezzlemen, are to be inves-
tigated by Land Commissioner Pratt
and Deputy Attorney General Peters
who left on the Kinau today. The
transactions are both entirely outside
the books of the offices which were
audited some time ago by Auditor
Fisher and found to be correct and
were discovered by an outside plan Of
Tedering accounts from the land office,
which the auditor suggested as a
means of completing the checks.
ReparatiOn is said to have been made,
but this will not prevent prosecutions
if there is evidence. Governor Carter
and Land Commissioner Pratt had a
conference on the matter yesterday,
with Peters and the governor states
that making good will in no case be
considered as excuse. Government
officers have no right to receive funds
in their official capacity, take it round
wi tn them and blow it in said the
governor, land then make it up when
their salaries come in. 1t is required
that government money and private
money turned in according to law.
We shall ascertain in what capacity
the money in these cases was received
and act accordingly"

TWO SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTIONS
OFFICIALS LEAVE
GOVERNMENT MONEY FOR WHICH PECULIAR
RECEIPTS WE'RE GIvEN-PRO sCUTONs WILL FOLLOW THE


government money without giving gov
eminent receipts for it, so that the pay
ments did not show on the official stubs
when the books We're audited. One
sum is over $50 and the other over
800. In one instance an ordinary COM
mercial receipt for the amount was
given and in the other the official gave
his personal note, payable lin four
months, as a receipt for money said to
have been paid in for government land.
There are official receipt books with
stubs, for such purposes.
After Fishers return from auditing
the books he reported in one case
three stubs missing, which he was told
on mquiring had been destroyed. As
there was no means of checking mat
tiers never entered in the books at ALL
he suggested that Pratt send to the
various parties who were paying in
money regularly, statements of their
accounts, showing credits of payments
reported. The replies from two parties
complaining that their payments We're
not to their credit, led to the present
exposures.
When Pratt was in Hilo he con-
solidated the various land offices.
There were two in Hilo and one in Ha-
makua and under the present system
one office is doing all. There will be
a shake-up as a result of the present
investigation.

nifcant is that the condition Of the

creased average, the prospect for a
large crop is very strong. The portion
of the crop first marketed will bring
excellent prices-that is, excellent

is no reason for prices to fall serious.
