WARSHIPS NEAR THE SCENE
American Battleship Fleet Will Remain At
Gibraltar For the Present Strained
Relations With Turkey.

Washington. Aug. 6. - Minister
Leishman has notified the state de-
partment from Constantinople that
he has failed to receive the expected
satisfactory reply Eom the sultan
touching the rights of American citi-
Gems in Turkey While the negotia-
tions will continue it is possible that
the American battleship fleet will be
detained at Gibraltar to strengthen
the minister's hand in the conduct of
these negotiations.
Secretary Hays return to the city
from his summer home was signalized
by consideration at the days cabinet
meeting of important matters concern
ing Americas foreign relations. The
secretary had not completed his vaca-
ton, but returned to Washington at
this time on account of the develop
ments in this country's relations with
Turkey. The whole question was con-
sidered by the president and his cab
met in the light of information re-
ceived by cable from Minister Lelsh-

then an answer from the sultan him
self as to the rights of Americans to
establish schools and other educational
institutions in the Turkish empn e.
Such rights have been accorded the
other nations, but have been withheld
from America. Secretary Hay laid be-
fore the president and the cabinet a
cablegram he had just received from
Minister Leishman to the effect that
he had not been able to obtain sat
isfactory answer to his representa-
tons.
That this government is annoyed at
the procrastination of the porte and at
what seems to be a studied effort on
the part of the sultan to dilly-daliy
with the American representations
there is no attempt to conceal. Sec
rotary Hay declined, however, as he
left the cabinet meeting to say what,
if any, decision had been reached.
Secretary Morton's replies to similar
inquiries indicated the probability of
important action by his department
bearing on the Turkish question. 1t
Is known that a proposition has been
made to hold the American battleship
squadron at Gibraltar instead of hav-
ing it return at once to this country.
At Gibraltar the squadron would be
available for any service the govern
ment might determine to have it per-
form.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 6.-There has
been no further fighting of any impor-
lance since Aug. /, according to the
latest reports received by the war
Office. In the opinion of the general
staff both sides need rest after fight
ing three days in the terrible heat and
the officials here are inclined to be-
lieve that the Japanese will not be
able to resume their advance for sew
eral days.
Detailed reports reaching the war
Office from General Kuropatkin's gen
erals show that the Russian losses
July 80, 81 and Aug. ! did not exceed
1000. The Japanese are believed to
have lost at least an equal number.
From comprehensive review of the
fighting obtained by the Associated
Press it appears that most of the Rus
sian losses were sustained on the Sal
matsza road and between Simoucheng
and Haicheng. The two divisions OF
the late General Keller's corps did not
make a serious resistance at the
Yangse pass. falling back on Liaudian.

CONFIDENT OF CARRYING STATE.
West Virginia Republican Leaders
Confer With President.

Washington, Aug. Reconsideration
of political matters occupied some OF
President Roosevelt's time prior to
the assembling of the cabinet. Sen
ators Elkins and Scott and Republican
State Chairman Elliott Northcott of
West Virginia had an extended con-
ference with him regarding the situa-
ton in their state. While all the de-
tails of the conference were not dis
closed it is known that the three West
Virginians gave the president their
views regarding the conduct of the
campaign in West Virginia and their
Judgment as to the result. Chairman
Northcott assured the president that
he was convinced, after q thorough
review of the situation in the state,
that the Republicans would carry
West Virginia by majority increased
over that Of 1900. Mckinley carried
the state then by $1,000. Chairman
Northcott gave in detail the reasons
which induced his optimistic views. =

Strikers Start Run on Savings Bank
at Stock Yards.
Chicago, Aug. 6.-Hundreds of strik-
ers and others during the day thronged
to the Drovers' Trust and Savings
bank near the main entrance of the
stock yards and withdrew deposits,
whether large or small. The unusual
scene attracted large crowd, set all

SEIZURE OF ASPHALT MINES
MINISTER BOWEN FILES sTRoNG
PROTEST AGAINST ACTION
OF VENEZUELA.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Minister Bow:
en- has cabled the state department
that he has lodged a strong protest
with President Castro against the &C.
ton of the government in Selling the
asphalt mines belonging to the New
York and Bermudez company. The
receiver of the government is said to
be supported by two Venezuelan war
ships in his occupation of the COM
pany's property.
Through unofficial sources it is
learned that President Castro's action
in the matter of the asphalt company
has been long considered. 1t is init.
mated that when in the midst of his
last desperate struggle with the rebels
Castro made promises to certain per-
sons and corporations in return for
their support financially in that con-
test These promises were said to in
volve the transfer to these people of
concessions at that time in the pos
session of foreign corporations. Cas-
tro is said. to be South American
who has never violated a promise and
the present proceedings relative to the
asphalt mines are, it is limited, an out
growth of one of these promises.
1t ee doubted whether Mr.. Bowen's
protest will be effective at this stage,
but the state department is not dis
posed to move in hurry and is await
ing the arrival by mail of the detailed
reports made by Mr.. Bowen before
proceeding further. 1t must be made
quite clear that there has been mis-
carriage OF justice in the Venezuelan
supreme court before demand is
made upon Castro for indemnity for
the losses suffered by the New York
and Bermudez Asphalt company.

DRoUTH IN MONTANA.
Heavy Loss Of Stock Can Only Be
Averted by Rain.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 6.-Advices re-
ceived from throughout the state the
past week depict serious state of af-
fairs on the big ranges in Eastern
and Northern Montana, and unless
heavy rain is soon forth coming con-
siderable loss of stock will ensue. The
Northern Montana ranches in many To-
calities resemble deserts, for water
holes and springs are dried. So bad
have the conditions become that the
state humane officers have .interfered
and compelled stockmen to drive
herds into localities far removed
where some grass and water remain,
though even then the supply is scanty.
The Great Northern Railway COM
pany is meeting with difficulty in the
operation of it's trains throughout
Northern Montana as a result of the
inability to secure sufficient water to
keep it's tanks along the road re-
plenished.

JAPS INDIGNANT At RUSSIANS.
Claim Slav Government Is Violating
The Hague Rules.

London, Aug. 6.-The correspondent
of the Times at Toxic says that much
indignation is felt there because of
Russia's persistent neglect to comply
with the rules of The Hague conven-
ton in supplying information regard
ing prisoners. Despite frequent in
quiries about the prisoners taken in
the third attempt to seal Port Arthur,
the Russians, the correspondent says,
maintain complete silence, which can
not be due to the lack of means of
communication, because the Russian
government has just requested Japan
to recognize two additional hospital
ships at Port Arthur.

PEACE TALK CONTINUES.
But Packers and Strikers Stand Their
- Ground.

But Packers and Strikers Stand Their
~ Ground.
Chicago, Aug. Elm the face of pei
sistent peace rumOrs strikers an
packers alike gave evidence during
the day OF grim determination to stana
their ground. There were indications
that by next week both sides would
regard the offices Of Intermediates
with favor unless either side. should
develop weakness warranting the
other in holding out with renewed de-,
termination to fight the issue to an
end.
10 the strikers the approach Of SUM-
day lOOmed up as menace because
of difficulties in holding ranks together
over the opening of new week. The
strike leaders had positive information
that emissaries Of the packers were at
work in all directions quietly Offering
highly skilled men tempting induce
nlents to break away. Pressure was
also being brought upon strikers wives
through direct individual appeal.
Efforts to bring about peace con-
ference were explained as being due
to the cattle shippers and the Union
Stock Yards and Transit company
both neutrals who have lost heavily
through the strike. At the instance
of both General Agent Skinner of the
Stock Yards company visited the
strike leaders. Finding them recep-
tive he gave attention to the packers.
Little encouragement was met with
from the packers. Believing, however,
that the situation was not without pos
sibilities he returned to the strike
leaders, who were awaiting him at the
Transit House.
Strikers Change Their Attitude. -.
. In the meantime the strikers had
attempted to bring pressure to bear
on the packers from other sources and
In SO doing had acquired information
from which the inference was drawn
that the strikers position was strong
er than had been believed. In conse-
quence when Mr.. Skinner returned he
found the strike leaders unwilling to
make any marked concessions.
Besieged families whose homes
have been continuously attacked be-
cause they contain strike breakers ap-
pealed to the police for protection.
John Kioll, an employe of Swift &
Co., reported that the entire front of
his home had been wrecked Crowds
hurled stones, clubs and refuse
through the gaping apertures where

tail was assigned to protect the prop
erty. Similar action was taken re-
garding six other places where like
conditions were reported.
Strike breakers continued to pour
into the yards during the day. The
new arrivals included another train.

Of terrific explosions caused by strike
