OFFICIAL REPORT.
Washington. Oct. 13t

Washington, Oct. 18th, 1904.
To japanese Consul, Honolulu.
Marshal Oyama report runs as fol-
lows:
Near Pensiho the enemys counter
attacks from all sides were entirely re-
pulsed. On Wednesday our right army
sent one detachment to Shikiatotze
eight miles north of Pensiho to cut the
enemys retreat. The central and left
volumns of our right army occupied on
Wednesday several eminences in the
northeast of Yentai mines, and are
now vigorously pursuing the enemy.
Our central army commenced opera
tons on Tuesday night and gained on
Wednesday morning the heights few
miles east of Yentai, capturing two
field guns and eight ammunition wag-
Ons, and while pursuing the enemy cap
tured also field guns with ammunition
wagons numbering eleven at Sanhuai-
shishin besides $50 prisoners. Pursuit
by our right and central armies is pro-
crossing successfully, and on Wednes-
day the enemy's detachment with ar
tillery being enveloped they were panic
stricken at a place twelve miles east
of Yentai, while the rest were retreat
ing nOrthward in disorder. Our left
army, since Tuesday night was con-
tinuously attacking the enemy posted
near the railway within ten miles north
of Yentai. The central column of our
left army, after REFUSING the enemy's
strong force, occupied Lantzchies, five
miles northwest of Yentai on Wednes-
day afternoon, capturing sixteen guns.
Thereupon we Immediately pursued,
the enemy retreating in disorder We
captured four more guns. During the
pursuit, the enemy twice made a des-
perate counter attack, but was each
time repulsed with heavy losses. The
right column of our left army, while
pursuing the enemy near Shllihe, cap
tured five guns and five ammunition
wagons" TAkAHlRA'

EMBEZZLE

I'VE find the defendant guilty as
charged in the indictment"
1t took the ;Ury less than ten minutes
tn find and return the above verdict
yesterday afternoon after hearing all
the evidence and argument in the case
of E. S. Boyd, formerly Land Commits
sioner, charged with embezzlement.
LAS charged in the indictment"
means that Boyd is held to have stolen
from the office, with the affairs of
which he was entrusted, three different
sums Of 1878, $500 and $lj525O respec-
lively. When Boyd was removed from
his Office it was found that there were
defalcations amounting i'm all to some
$4,000 and for responsibility for part
OF the balance still Iraccounted for,
Stephen Mahaulu, who was the princi-
pal witness in the Boyd trial, Is now
under Indictment
Under the law a public officer found
guilty of embezzling funds is liable to
Imprisonment for term not exceeding
ten years and a fine not exceeding five
times the amount embezzled.

WHITE LABORERS
IN COTTON FIELDS

Several southern papers are eXpress-
ing the opinion that the South isn't de-
pendent upon negro labor in the cotton
field. The Savannah News says
Unless We are mistaken the time isn't
distant when practically an of the cot
ton crop will be harvested by white la
Dor That Is almost the case now In
Texas, and to greater extent every
year In other states the crop Is harvest
ed by that kind Of labor AS the blacks
move out OF the cotton fields the whites
move into them According to the
dispatches, all sorts and conditions OF
people are to be found the cotton
fields Of Texas this year. In that state
even white girls have gone into the
fields and are making good wages. The
notion that people having a white skin
cannot stand the southern sun under
conditions like those which a cotton
field imposes has been exploded. and In
the course Of very short time will be
only a tradition.
There Is no doubt a scarcity Of labor
i'm this and all the other cotton states
during the cotton picking season. There
wouldn' be, perhaps, if all the idle
hands could be obtained for cotton pick
ing. There are in this city, for in
stance, thousands Of black men and
women who could make good wages in
cotton fields If they would accept EN-

A VALUABLE INDUSTRY

The Incorporation of a company with
large capital and headed by responsible
men to construct and operate beet SUI
gar factories n this state is a matter
II the very first importance to the peo-
pie of Washington. The purchasing
abroad of sugar which might as well be
produced at home means the annual
withdrawal of a large amount of money
from this state, an economic loss for
which we have no corresponding gain.
1t is easily possible to produce within
the borders of the state all of the sugar
which is needed for our own uses and
to distribute the entire amount paid out
by the local consumers of sugar to the
farms, manufacturers and workingmen
with our own state.
This is one side to the matter. There
is another. The more wealth that can
be produced from the same acreage of
ground, the better off the community.
An acre in sugar beets produces 1900
pounds of sugar. This is worth $50.
The product of an acre of wheat trans
formed into flour is worth not to ex-
coed S25 on the average. The actual
value of the product of an acre Of sugar
beets, after the manufacturing process
is completed, is therefore six times as
great as the product from an acre SOW
ed to wheat, also after the manufactur-
ing process is complete.
Further than this, we already pro-
duce -four much more than sufficient for
our own needs, while we import much
more than 80 per cent of the sugar
which We use, The advantage to the
state of turning more land into cult
waiting sugar beets is sufficiently OBJ
VOus.
There is no question as to the possi-
bilities Of commercial success in the
production of sugar from beets. The
Yakima country, where the new fac
tory is to start, produces beets of ex-
ceptional purity and large sugar con
tents. The beet sugar factory already
in operation at Waverly is a CONNER
cial success. The new one certainly
will be. The market is here, and the
demands Of that market are far beyond
~ cag7srlE 9igseveral factories like the
lropcfat sJSl6o supply The saving
in fterE1t Mics alone gives the Local
t9Gclry a margin over outside com.
pet4brs sufficient to insure success.
Every new industry started here is OF
value to the state. No single industry
save the production of iron and steel
Will be more valuable than the beet
sugar industry. Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer.

RAN BLOCKADE
TO VLADVOSTOK
GERMAN STEAMER PROGRESS RE
TURNS AFTER ELUDING JAPAN
ESE SHIPS.

TSINGTAU, oct. THE German
steamer Progress, chartered by a local
German, and which left here twenty
six days ago with a general cargo con-
signed to Vladivostok, returned from
that port today and reported that she
found it easy to elude the japanese
ships in that vicinity. She reported
that a number of large ships have
been there recently with stores Of coal
and ammunition. The city Of Vladi-
vostok is quiet, and the Russians seem
depressed over their land and sea re-
verses.
Vladivostok is being heavily forth
fed, the harbor is being mined and re-
pairing of the damaged ships is going
on. 1t is believed that it will be i'm
possible to put the armored cruiser
Rossia in a seaworthy condition.
1t is stated in Vladivostok that Cen
eral Kuropatkin has been very in and
unable to personally command his
army since the brttle of Liaoyang
Russian officers at Tsingtau are re-
spOnsible for the statement that am
munition and guns from the protected
| cruiser Diana have reached Port Ar
thur from Saigon. The Germans here
do not believe this story.
| The Russians are in constant COM
munication with Port Arthur, it is
/ believed, by wireless messages sent to
Chefoo, though it is claimed that junks
carry the messages. 1t is claimed that
| the expected dash of the Port Arthur
! fleet has been frustrated by the terrific
storms which have prevailed this week

pected to hake an attempt to reach

NEW GOVERNOR
OF AMERICAN SAMOA
COMMANDER MOORE OF MARE
ISLAND IS LIKELY TO SUCCEED
UNDERWOOD.

MARE ISLAND, October 1T is
highly probable that Commander G. b.
T. Moore, u. >. N, at present the head
of the equipment department at this
navy yard, viii be the next officer as
signed to tho important position Of
Governor of Tutuila, Samoa. No Off
cial orders regarding the matter have
been issued by the bureau, but it is
generally 'ieved that Commander
Moore wi shortly be designated for
the position Commander Edward r..
Underwood, ow in command of the
United States steamer Adams at Tu-
tuila, Samoa, has been the Governor
for the past two years, and it is prob
able that before the end of the year
he will be relieved and ordered home.
If the plans which it is believed the
department at Washington have de-
termined upon are carried out Com
mander Moore will leave here I'm time
to relieve Commander Underwood at
Tutuila and there is a possibility that
Commander Underwood may be as
signed to the position of equipment Of
ficer at Mare Island, now held by Com
mander Moore.
Commander Moore has an enviable
reputation in the navy. He entered
the service from Illinois, September 2S,
1869, and was promoted to his present
position in November 1902. He has
been on duty at this yard since October
/, 1901.

GIVEN
BY WESTERVELT
HONOLULU MINISTER SHOWS
STEREOPTICON VIEWS OF
CHINA AND JAPAN.

The South Bend Indiana Tribune
publishes the following:
An interesting lecture on China and
Japan aided by stereopticon views was
given by Rev. w. d. Westervelt, of
Honolulu, at the First Presbyterian
church Sunday night, at the hour of
the regular service to a large congre-
cation. The views were especially
good and were from snap shot photo
graphs taken b.. Mr.. Westervelt him
self during travels in the two countries
and his descriptions were decidedly in
structive and entertaining. One could
plainly obtain the idea from the pic
lures the superiority of the Japanese
over the Chinese in every way. Japan
scenery is much more attractive than
that of China, and the evidences of
thrift and progress is much in favor of
the Japs.
Mr.. Westervet, however says that
China is making wonderful develop
ment in the waYs of civilization
through the introduction of railroads,
the telegraph and other modern inn
prOvements into the very interior of
the country, and her people are fast
adopting the American style of doing
business. In fact, it was his expert
| ence all through China that the intel
ligent native was extremely anxious
to extend every favor rossible to a re-
preventative American, and desired to
| get information in return that would
be valuable to him. 1t was the opinion
of the lecturer that China was today
treating America much better than
| America did China.

THE STATE Is SAFE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Former Lieu
tenant-Governor Timothy J.. Woodruff
of New York and William Berri, pro-
prietor of the Brooklyn Standard Uni
on, were guests of President Roosevelt
at luncheon today. Woodruff came to
Washington by invitation of the Presi-
dent.
AS he was leaving the White House
he said to a correspondent:
Il had a very pleasant and satisfac-
cory conversation with President
Roosevelt. 1t would not be quite the
proper thing for me to discuss for pub
lication the details of our conference,
but 1 may say that it related to the
general political situation with particu-
lar reference to that in New York
State"
Yes" he continued in response to a
question. Il think there Is no doubt
that President Roosevelt viii carry
New York by a substantial plurality,
and l told him so. There is no dis
guising the fact, however, that a sharp
contest is being made on the Republic
can ticket, but I am entirely hopeful as
to the result"

sovereign of the Congo Free State by

meeting this afternoon in connection

the King was personally responsible,
in a large measure, for the crueties
practiced on the natives of the Congo
Free State in the terrific endeavors of
mOnopolistic commercial organizations
to obtain from the country all the ivo-
ry and rubber possible.
The King was defended by George
