Russian Auxiliary Cruiser Lena VIII
Probably Remain in the Port Of
San Francisco Until End Of War.

Russias auxiliary cruiser, Lena,
which put into the port of San Fran
cisco last Sunday, presumably from
Vladivostok, either will have to leave
that port within a brief time pre-
scribed by this governncst, or will
have to dismantle. That, in brief, 1t
can be stated authoritatively, is the
decision of the American government.
Admiral Goodrichs report of his in
vestigation, telegraphed the navy de-
partment, shows that to make tenn
porary repairs to the boilers and ma
chlnery of the Lena, according to the
naval experts opinion, would require
about six weeks time.
The captain of the vessel claims that
It needs new boilers and If the request
be allowed to put these in as ar
ranged, no less than eight months
time will be required to make the
change.

DEATH ROLL HEAVY.
Seventy Thousand Men Killed During
Past Months Campaign.

The Red Cross officers fear an cpl
demic of disease will break out in
both the Russian and Japanese arm
les, the torrents Of rain which fell af-
ter the ten days battle at Liza Yang
having compelled the worn-out and
hungry troops to sleep without shelter
in mire by the roadsides. In any case
1t is believed to be certain that the
hardships endured by the soldiers will
result in a great increase in sickness.
The losses on both sides from Aug.
ust 26 to September 5 are estimated at
from 10000 to 10000 killed and wound
ed Many of the killed and wounded
were left behind in the Chinese corn

CALL HALT ON CHINESE.
Powers May Show China What Limits
of Neutrality Mean.

The reports that Chinese troops are
concentrating in the valley of the Lao
river are causing considerable con.
Germ in st. Petersburg. The Bourse
Gazette thinks it is entirely probable
that the Chinese government will for.
mally propose to undertake to guard
and to administer the territory actual
ly occupied by the Japanese, adding:
ITO this Japan doubtless will read
lily acquiesce, as it will relieve Japan
Of guarding her lines of communities
ton. In other words, regular Chinese
troops will become auXiliaries of the
Japanese, and the Japanese army, thus
relieved of the necessity of protecting
its lines, stores and land transport,
will set free all the strength of the
Japanese forces to operate against
Russia. China thus would become act
ually the ally of Japan. If the reports
are confirmed, not only Russia, but
other powers must intervene to show
China what the limits of neutrality
mean"
