for the following details of recent

During the night Turkish soldiers

Facts About The Ships.

The Peresviet was of the same type
as the Pobieda, which was reported
disabled by torpedo April IS, the
day the Petropavlovsk was destroyed.
The Sevastopol is in the same class
as was the Petropavlovsk. The Diana
was sister ship of the Pallada, which
was torpedoed in the first attack Ad-
miral Togo made on the Russian feet
at Port Arthur and has not appeared
since, except occasionally in Russian

repairs upon her.
OF the fleet of battleships at Port
Arthur, supposing the Peresviet and
Sevastopol out of action, only three
remain-thc Tsarewitch, the Pobieda
and the unfortunate Retvizan. These
were all damaged in the early days OF
the war, and while many reports have
been disseminated that they had been
fully repaired, no confirmation of this
has been obtained.

PERDIcARIS RELEASED.
Bandit Raisull Gives Up the Wealthy American
Many Hardships.

Tangier, (By Cable).-Ion Per-
dicaris, the wealthy American, and his
stepson, Cromwell Varley, an English
man, who were captured by the bandit
Raisuli, have just arrived here.
Perdicaris is very much fatigued
after his long ride, but says he is glad
to get back. He is agreeably pleased
with the reception accorded him by
the townsmen, who met him IN great
numbers.
Perdicaris suffered many hardships
while in the hands of Raisuli, although
he says he does not think that these
were the fault of the bandit chief, and
that he had every comfort possible
under the circumstances.
Varley appears to be as cheerful and
bright as if he had just returned from
a picnic. Both Perdicaris and Varley
are much thinner, especially the
former. who has aged considerably.
Perdicaris was received at his town
house by the authorities, the adj
mirals Of the fleets and numerous
personal friends. His Moorish serv-
ants made a great demonstration of
low. kissing their masters hands and
clothes.
Much credit is due to the two
shereefs of Wazan, Mulai Ali and
Mulai Hamet, who have devoted much
time in their efforts to secure the
success of the negotiations. Mulai
All remained at Raisuli's camp con-
tinuously, thus ensuring the safety of

Mulai Hamet says that he arrived

"a. but that the captives did not ar
rive until the morning of June "a.
Nothing unusual occurred during the

Immediately fort heir respective homes.
The delay in turning over the prison

CHANGES IN CABINET.
Mr.. Moody Transferred to the Post Of At.
toruey GentrlL

Washington, D. c., (Special).-
President Roosevelt made the fol-
lowing announcement regarding chang
es in the Cabinet:
William H. Moody of Massachu-
sets, to be Attorney General.
Paul Morton of Illinois, to be Sec,
rotary of the Navy.
Victor H. Metcalf of California, tc
be Secretary of Commerce and Labor
The designations of Secretary Cor
telyou and Attorney General Knox
have been received and accepted, to
take effect July l.
Mr.. Morton was in Washington last
week and took lunch at the White
House, when the President offered
him the secretaryship of the navy, it
having been determined at that time
to put Representative Metcalf at the
head of the Department of Commerce
and Labor.
Mr.. Morton then declined, and it
was generally supposed that his name
was no longer being considered
The President was determined to have
him in the Cabinet, however, if it
could be accomplished. and he has the
very highest admiration for Mr.. Nor
toms character and ability.
The latter was finally prevailed upon
to forego his own wishes, owing to
his regard and friendship for the
President
1t is expected that further changes
will take place in the Cabinet next
winter. Postmaster General Payne
probably will retire from the Cabinet
after the campaign. He will be sue
ceeded by National Chairman Cortel-
you. Secretary Moody will continue
as member Of the Cabinet only until
the end of the present administration
on the 4th of March next, when he
will retire to enter upon the practise
of law in Boston.
1t is quite likely that other changes
will take place, even if Mr.. Roosevelt
should be elected President; but no
authority exists at this time upon
which to base forecast of them.
Attorney General Knox, as is we'll
known, resigned to become Matthew
S. Quay's successor in the United
States Senate, having been appointed
by Governor Pennypacker. Mr.. Knox,
who is a prominent Pittsburg lawyer,
has been Attorney General since April
10, 1901.
Mr.. Cortelyou resigns to conduct
the Republican campaign, having been
elected chairman of the National Com
mittee. Alter having been clerk and
secretary Of three successive Presi-
dents. he was, in February, 1908, taken
into the Cabinet as head of the newly
established Department of Commerce
and Labor
Mr. Moody was Haverhill lawyer
and Massachusetts Congressman for
several terms before he became Sec
rotary of the Navy, on May I, 1902,
succeeding John D. Long.
Mr.. Morton, who is the eldest son
of the late ]. Sterling Morton, Secre-
tary of Agriculture in Cleveland's
second term, is AZ years old. He is
weli-known railroad man, and is
now vice-president of the Atchison.
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. He
is now citizen of Illinois. and sat in
the Republican Convention as the
alternate of Speaker Cannon.

SAYS 1T IS ILLEGAL
A Suit for the Dissolution OF the Standard
Oil Trust.

Trenton, N. j., (SpeciaD.-Charles
D. Henderson, Jr,, of Jersey City,
and Joseph M. w. Melvin, of Phila-
delphia, counsel for George Rice, of
Marietta, O., filed in the Court of
Chancery bill for the dissolution
of the Standard Oil Company, New
Jersey corporation, charging that the
company is illegal, and that it exists
in violation of the antitrust laws of
the United States and of the decision
in this state relating to monopolies.
The bill charges that the Standard Oil
Company in Ohio was declared illegal
by the courts of that state, but that
the company, instead of dissolving
in obedience to that decision, has by
subterfuge evaded the Ohio decision,
and that the New Jersey corporation
is merely a holding company for the
Ohio concern. The bill asks that not
only the company be dissolved, but
that its assets be distributed among
its stockholders, after paying off its
outstanding securities. For the ac-
complishment of this purpose it is
asked that a receiver be appointed.

10000 Reported Killed.

Chicago, (SpeciaD.-A special cable
gram to the Daily News from TEN
tsin, China, says:
Officers arriving at Niuchwang
from the front say that the battle
fought on Thursday at Simenting,
about 40 miles east of Kaiping, was
the hardest blow the Russians have
yet received. The Muscovites lost,
according to these accounts, 10000 in
killed, wounded, missing and prisoners.
THAT the Russian retreat did not
turn into rout was due to the dogged
bravery of the men of the Ninth East

Savages to Wear Clothes.

The Igorrote and the Negrito rep
resentativcs of the wild tribes of the
philippine Islands on exhibit at the
St Louis Exposition are to be SO
clothed that their nudity cannot be a
subject of criticism. Directions to
this effect have been given by Colonel
Edwards. chief of the Insular Bureau
of the War Department.
Officials of the War Department are
anxious that the representatives of
these wild tribes, who, they say, form
only small proportion of the popu-
lation of the Philippine Islands, shall
not be unduly exploited to the dis
advantage of the scouts and consta-
bulary Filipinos who are at the Ex-
position. The officials at St. Louis
accordingly, will make plain by intel
ligently posted notices the exact con-
dition of affairs, SO that visitors to the
Fair will not get the impression that
the wild tribes are an important ele-
ment of the Filipino population.

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
No CIalm on the Sultan.

AS Perdicaris and Marley have been
returned to their home IN Tangier,
Morocco, the Navy Department cabled
its approval of Rear-Admirdl Chad
wick's plan to proceed on his cruise
through the Suez canal and around
the east coast of Africa on his way
to the South Atlantic station.
The State Department does not con-
template any reclamation upon the
Moorish Government on account OF
the Perdicaris incident. 1t is held
here that that Government has suf-
fered severely, both from financial
point of view and in a national hui
initiation, through its compliance with
the demand of Secretary Hay that the
captives be released and, as it appears
by all accounts, including that of Per-
dicaris himself, as set down in some
OF his recent letters, that he did not
suffer undue hardships; that he was
treated with kindness and considera-
ton by Raisuli, and that he has nc
ill-feeling toward that (td him)
agreeable bandit, no suficiers reason
exists why any further demands
should be made on the Sultan of Mo
rocco either for indemnity or the
punishment Of the kidnappers. If the
Sultan chooses to take vengeance on
Ralsuli that is his own affair so il
Is said here, for it is understood that
complying with the strict injunction
OF the State Department, neither Ad-
miral Chadwick nor Consul General
GUNNER has in any way passed the
guarantee of their Government that
immunity shall be extended to Raisuli
