JUROR IS Held
FOR CONTEMPT

WASHINGTON. April 13.-The case
of James A. Watson, accused Of en-
bezzling $4,000 from funds in the GUS
tody of the Auditor of the District Of
Columbia, was abruptly ended to-day
by the discharge of the jury and the
arrest of one of the jurors, Arthur l..
Orrison, for contempt of court. The
trial probably will not be begun again
until the middle of May. The termi-
nation of the case was precipitated by
the request of Orrison to be informed
by the court whether Watson was to
be tried on the indictment against him
or on public opinion. Justice Pritch-
ard replied that public opinion had
nothing to- do with the jury, which
was to consider only the law and the
evidence.
Assistant District Attorney Taggart
moved the discharge of the jury on
the ground that Orrison's question in
dicated a prejudice against the Gov
ernment in the case. The court prompt
ly discharged the jury, prefacing the
action by saying that the juror is in
toxicated and not in condition to sit
in the box"
When the juror was brought into
court Justice Pritchard adjudged Orri-
son in contempt of court and sentenced
him to two months in Jail.

BRITISH EXPERTS BELIEVE
TOGO LED FOE INTO TRAP
Express Opinion That Russia Is Withholding
the Facts Of the Disaster
pc ObIgO to he New Herald


LONDON, April 13.-That Admiral
Marakoff fell into a trap set for him
by Admiral Toga is the thory which
London is inclined to build upon the
few facts so far known regarding the
Russian disaster at Port Arthur.
At the news of the death of Vice Ad-
miral Makaroff himself no expressions
save those of sympathy and regret for
the loss of a brave man and a brilliant
officer are heard. Rear Admiral Inglis,
who knows Admiral Togo personally,
writes in this mornings Daily Tele-
graph:
I'VE know for a certainty that no
one deplores Admiral Makaroff's loss
from a personal view more than Ad-
miral Togo, and If the gallant Rus
slams body could be found and rever-
sible the Japanese Emperor himself
would have attended the ceremony"
OF the circumstances which preceded
and possibly led UP to the loss of the
Petropaviovsk, Rear Admiral Inglis
says:
The loss of the Russian flagship ap-
pears to me to be an affair big with
fate and has been the result of fleet
action at sea in the open. The Rus
slams have been constantly at sea late
ly, and they generally have been re-
ported as being some distance off land,
mostly to the south, between the end
of Liaotung Peninsula and Chefu, and
the report that a new Searchlight had
been erected on the tip of Liaotung
seems to corroborate this idea. So it
seems that Admiral Togo determined d
on fleet action, and 1 think 1t will be
found when the later telegraph comes

when adjournment was taken.
The most important resolution adopt
ed by the lodge to-day was the one
making the Grand Lodge sessions bien-
nial in the future. 1t was the pro-
nounced sentiment of the lodge. Much
discussion was had on the resolution
TO abolish the official newspaper of the
State. Action was not taken on the
matter to-day.

session Of the Grand Lodge to-day 1t

the visiting members.
The A. Q. L. w held a session this
evening. at which the drill teams from
Bakersfield. San Jose and Fresno held
a competitive drill for the 500 cash
prize offered by the Grand Lodge. The
work was exemplified by the teams in
a very creditable manner. The decision
was deferred till morning.

LAW PROTECTS
THE SUBJECTS
Hungary Will Offer Induce
ments to Emigrants to Re-
turn to Their Native Land

BUDAPEST, April 13.-In the lower
House of the Hungarian Diet to-day
Premier Tzima made a lengthy state
ment regarding the proposed extradi-
tion law which he said would be in
troduced in a few days. 1t was not
intended to promote emigration, but
to surround emigrants who absolutely
refused to remain in Hungary with
governmental protection and keep in
touch with them with the view of their
ultimate return. Owing to the de-
mands of the steamship companies the
Government had intended to institute
a line under state control, but in the
meanwhile a contract had been con-
cluded with the Cunard line. The
terms provided for a ten years con-
tract, termina BILE by notice at the end
OF five years or in the event of the
emigration falling below $4,000 persons
it should be Cancelled at the end of the
third year. In the event of the United
States prohibiting immigration the
contract was void. The Cunard COM
pany undertook to make twenty-six
trips annually from Fiume to New
York, accommodating 2000 immigrants
per trip. Should the total be less than
10000 persons the Government agreed
to pay 100 kronen (about 500 per head
deficit. The Premier said that the
Government would gladly pay the pen
atty because 1t would indicate a fall
ing off in emigration.
The Premier added that the strictest
supervision would be exercised to pre-
vent agents from holding out improper
inducements to prospective emigrants

was due to the fact that the vessel was
stripped for action and all of the men
were at their stations.
No details as to how Admiral Maka-
rolf met death have been received. 1t
is said that the Grand Duke Cyril
owes his escape to the fact that he was
on the bridge, whence he leaped into
the sea and was picked UP by boat
from another warship.
According to later reports Grand
Duke Cyril was more seriously injured
than at first believed. He has been re-
moved to a hospital at Port Arthur for
treatment Despite the statements in
the dispatches the Grand Duchess
Vladimir believes that her son is dead,
saying:
Everybody has been killed and I
cannot believe that Cyril was saved. !"
1t is said that Viceroy Alexieff will
assume comand of the naval forces in
the Far East, presumably pending the
arrival of Rear Admiral Rojestvensky.
1t is rumored here tonight that, fol-
lowing the loss of the Petropavlovsk,
Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky, act
ing commander of the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur, engaged eighteen Jap
anese warships off Port Arthur TINS
afternoon.
WEIHAIWEI, April 13.-The British
gunboat Espiege, which arrived here
from Newchwang, reports that at 5:45
this morning she sighted five Japanese
warships engaging the Russian cruiser
Bayan, which was making for Port Ar
thur from the direction of the Yalu
River. The Askold and another cruis-
er with three tunnels came out of Port
Arthur to assist the Bayan. At Gas
the Russians got under the shelter of
the forts, but the Bayan was evidently
damaged, as quantities of steam were
seen escaping from her. At sos the
japanese ships opened fire with their
heavy guns upon the forts, but the
latter did not reply. After a fifteen
minute bombardment the Japanese re-
tired toward the east.
CHEFU, April 14.-An unconfirmed
report from Japanese sources states
that the Japanese reopened the bonn
bardment of Port Arthur at o'clock
on Wednesday morning, the vessels
maneuvering in circle before the port
This action evidently followed the one
reported earlier in the day.
A private dispatch from Port Arthur
says the Japanese attacked that place
at daylight yesterday and that the
Russian fleet assisted by the fire of
the forts, drove off the enemy. The
dispatch adds that the town was not
damaged The effect of the lombard
ment cf the forts and fleet was not
mentioned.
LONDON, April 1.-THE Times cor
respondent at sea off Port Arthur, un-
der yesterdays date, reports a Jap
anese torpedo attack, followed by
desultory bombardment. He does not
mention the disaster to the battleship
Petropavlovsk. His wireless messages,
dated yesterday morning and after
noon, state that japanese torpedo
boats attacked Port Arthur in the
early morning The bombardment of
the port began at 9:45 O'Clock and at
1040 the fleet was still shelling the
forts.

was sunk.
independent reports keep coming in
from merchant ships that heavy firing
was going on early yesterday morning
between Port Arthur and Chefu."
MAKAROFF LED INTO TRAP.
From every point of view," says the
Daily Telegraph editorially, 'the dis
aster is the gravest which has be-
fallen Russia since the beginning of
the war, even if it should prove to
have been limited to the destruction of
the Petropavlovsk.
Admiral Alexieff's dispatch makes
this significant addition: The full
cruising strength of the Port Arthur
squadron put to sea in pursuit of Ad-
miral Togo's fleet The Japanese, how
ever, seem to have deliberately played
upon Admiral Makaroffs enterprising
nature to lure him into a fated trap,
probably among the Miaotos Islands.
Admiral Togos command was pres
emily discovered to be rapidly concen-
trating in full strength ahead The
Russian admiral, endeavoring to es-
cape danger, returned to the roadstead.
1t was evidently amid the hurry and
difficulty of an attempt to crowd the
squadron through the half checked
mouth of the harbor, with the Jap
anese pursuit pressing up behind, that
the flagship met its fate.
There is thought to- be a singular
absence of assurances as to the condi-
ton of the Russian ships which re-
turned to the harbor and as to the
safety Of all except the Petropavlovsk
The Russian narrative is exceptionally
lacking in clearness, there being not

DEFENDS ACTS
OF The BRITISH

LONDON, April 13.-The House of
Commons to-day by 270 to 81 votes
adopted a resolution sanctioning the
employment of Indian troops on the
political mission to Tibet"
Secretary Brodrick in introducing
the resolution read telegram from
Colonel Younghusband, the political
agent at the head of the mission, to
the effect that Colonel Macdonald, in
command of the escort, reached his
goal Gyangtse, Tibet, April IL with
out the loss of a man. The telegram
added that the Tibetans were highly
demoralized and were fleeing from the
Gyangtse Valley, that the Chinese del
egate was coming in and that the
Tibetan delegates were on their way to
Gyangtse.
Brodrick proceeded to defend Brit
ish action, saying that while the Tibet
ans were trying to circumscribe their
relations with India, they simulta-
neously were attempting to open up
relations with Russia. The British
Government could not acquiesce in
any change in the status quo in Tibet
nor countenance an attempt on the
part of any foreign government to es-
tablish a predominant interest there
The British Government. declared
Brodrick, had no desire to occupy the
country or to establish a permanent
mission in Tibet. but the Government
was absolutely resolved that if any
power is to be predominant in Tibet
it must be Great Britain.
The Liberal leader, Sir Henry
ell-Bannerman, warmly crit
icized and condemned the mission and
the slaughter of the Tibetans." de-

reasons of the expedition was wholly

Bayan and the Askold with five Jap
anese warships told of in the Weihai-

concealed and is it the whole OF the
concealment? 1t must be assumed that
Admiral Makaroff came out in chase

been worrying the Bayan, and that
they had led him on with admira BILE
judgment.
EVERY VESSEL DAMAGED.
Finally an Italian agency issued,
upon the authority of it's representa-
tive at Chefu, sensational report that
Admiral Makaroffs S escape was cut off
among the Miaotos Islands. The Rus
sian squadron was surrounded and
every vessel was damaged
1t looks, according to the Daily Mail,
as though the Japanese had stolen in
behind the Russians and dropped some
contact mines off Port Arthur, for 1t Is
difficult to believe the Russians can
have been so careless as to lay electro
contact mines
Fred S. Jane writes in the Daily
Chronicle: Some time ago Admiral
Togo claimed to have laid blockade
mines off Port Arthur. This claim was
probably a bluff, designed to make the
Russians think that none had been
laid. The actual laying Is very likely
to have taken place the other night,
when the supposed bottling expedition
took place"
Spencer Wilkinson in the Morning
Post agrees with the theory that there
was a sea fight; that Admiral Maka-
rolf Unexpectedly found himself in the
presence of q very large japanese force
and had to retreat.
