SUSTAINED BY SECRETARY

Washington, Aug. e.--Secretary Shaw today telegraphed D. c. Chsytor Of the revenue cutter Winona. sustatning the latter's action in the enforcement of the yellow fever quarantine be> tween Mississippi and Louisiana and giving some general instructions. Tho dispatch is in reply to one from Cap- tain Clayton saying the friction be- tween the two States has become serf- ous and asking for an oflcial dennition of the revenue cutters authority. The telegram read:
 'Guifport, Miss, August 5. 'secretary of the Treasury. washing-
 ton:
 "seauest you telegraph specsno in- structions as to my authority to act in the matter of enforcing quarantine be- tween the States of Mississippi and Louisiana. Mississippi is enforcing . strict quarantine against Louisiana. where yellow fever Is epidemic. Sew eral launches at the disposal of the United States public health and marine service and acting under instructions of Surgeon Wasdin of the United States public health and marine hospital ser- vice are threatened to be arrested by the naval militia and sheriffs of Louis Jana. One of the aforesaid launches and her crew has been arrested and are now in the custody of Louisiana authorities The situation has become acute and serious in the friction be- tween the States of Mississippi and Louisiana. Up to the present time I have governed my actions in the inter- est of the public health. without re- gard to State lines, and the matter seems to Dc a question of State rights up to this stage.
 T have been guided by laws and reg ulations pertaining to quarantine as to my action in this matter. but under the present serious situation I ask your instructions as to my further pros ceedings.
 "(Signed.) B. c. Chaytor,
 -captain U. s Revenue Cutter"
 sAaw's Reply.
 secrettary Shaw's reply today was as follows:
 T think you are proceeding properly notwithstanding the conflicting re- ports. Promptly advise the name of master of every private vessel placed at your disposal We will doubtless protect them. There may be some question about your having authority to arrest vessels and tow them to Ship Island, but there can be no doubt Of your authority to prevent both vessels and persons leaving the infected dis trict. have directed Captain Ross to proceed to. New Orleans and assume general supervision over this branch of the service.

 AGnfnsf Smith.

Against Smtfns
 Jefferson City, Mo. Aug. Estate Senator Frank H. Farris was today acquitted by a jury in the circuit court on a charge of bribery, tn Connection with a bill introduced in a session of the Legislature in 1901 to repeal the statute prohibiting the use of alum in the manufacture of baking powder, commonly known as the alum bill" The trial had lasted for a week, the principal testimony of the State he- ing that of former Lieutenant Cover nor John Lee, on whose testimony the grand jury indictments were returned against Farris and former State Sena- tor Smith.
 It is regarded that the acquittal of Farris precludes the possibility of a continuation in the Smith cases, as the charges in each instance were identi- cal It is announced that the Smith case will be dismissed by the State.

New Orleans. August e.--Ths last two launches of the naval brigade, the Marie and Wolverine. returned to the city tonight from the Rigolets. where they had gone under orders from the Governor to protect the fishermen in Louisiana waters from the alleged depredations of the Mississippi patrol boats. The incident is closed, now that the Federal government has taken charge of the sea quarantine of the two States, except for the case of the Tipsey and two officers now under arr rest in St. Bernard Parish, who were captured in Lake Borgne.

for The idea of positive alliance is one of the principal themes of the ar- ticle, which, continuing. says that Russia should free herself from old world prejudices and fallacies and turn to her great neighbor across the Pa- cffic and learn a good lesson from her political and commercial subjects.
 Russia. having reached the Pacihc.' says the article. there stands between the two nations only tho broad ocean, but naught of antiquated prejudice or envy. If Russia can free herself from the St. Petersburg tradition, her best and most natural ally Ia the United States of America. Hertsen notes . lack of sympathy with other nations for Russia. and refers to Americas kindliness to that country. Both coun- tries overflow with strength. energy and the specific organization" con- tinues the article. Both are without pasts and both begin their national lives by breaking with traditions. :" Hertxen commends Americas handling of questions of state, declaring that American institutions fuffill all the 6s- mands of the democratic republic He and the electoral system, saying that Russia should study these carefully and follow many of the features thereof. He says that the European system of government means war, misery and poverty, and asks why Russia follows Europe. The Novoe vremya, referring editoria1ly to the article. says that 1t is worthy of the closest scrutiny.

Tired of Commenting.

St. Petersburg. Aug. 7--(1:2b a. ni.) The morning papers appear to be tiring of commenting blindly on the possibilities of the Portsmouth peace conference. but the movements of M. Witte and the otherA are followed closely and with interest by the peo- pie in the daily papers and they are awaiting actual news of the negotia- tions with anxiety. The Novoe vrem- va declares that Russia's internal troubles will be ended with the intro- duction of a republican government. Russia. it says. wishes peace. but peace Is necessary to Japan.

SHIPS sunk AT PORT ARTHUR.
Little Hope OF the japanese Reclaiming
Battieships or Cruisers
Special cable Despatch 10 THR SUN,

oVttlu4 Ndpit SCtfVAftN - INN F'NNs
LONDON, Jan. s.-The correspondent OF
the Tim es at Port Arthur sends the most
detailed report concerning the Russian
warships that has yet been received. He
says that the Sevastopol is sunk in water
I so feet deep and cannot be raised. The
Retvizan ia terribly damaged above and
below the water line. Her superstructure
Is riddled with shells, and her turrets have
been blown up Her deck is visible at low
tide The Pobieda has a heavy list to star
board Her masts are broken short on
and are hanging over the side She is
much dana ed below the water line and
burned above. The Retvizan and Pobieda
suffered more than any other Of the vessels.
and both appear unfit for further use.
The Peresviet il slightly damaged below
her superstructure. and her tunnels are
badly damaged. Both her fighting tops
are gone. The Poltava Is the least damaged
both above and below her superstructure
The Peresviet and Poltava can be easily
| refloated. The Pailada and Bayan arc
apparently not seriously damaged, and can
be relocated With the exception OF the
Retvi2an the ships are not much damaged
! by shell fire Their main armor has hardly
1 Rftil IltINShs iHtlI fpiulllb IONtIN are
] intact, except where they are burned. How
itzer shells inflicted only slight damage.
Three days prior to the occupation OF
| the fortress by the Japanese the ships
we're set on fire. kerosene being used for
the purpose. and mines were exploded
| alongside Of them
In summing up the correspondent saws
| that the Peresviet. Poltava, Pallada and
Bayan may be saved after great expense.
| but the difficulties are very great. as there
is no dock for hattleshps at Port Arthur.
The case 4 the Retviaan Is considered
| hopeless while that Of the PobieGa is
doubtful.
As regards the ornaments # the war
ships. their turret guns were all destroyed
before the surrender. Some x the sec
ondary armament is intact, Most OF the
small guns were removed TO the forts
The exact damage to the engines has not
been ascertained. Russians state that the
feet was unfit for further service after the
enga cement on Aug 10. Coal was abund-
ant and was used TO protect the decks
against howtzer shells On the capture of
Rojushan the ships were sunk by opening
their sea cocks in order to protect them
from the Japanese fire.

NAGAsAKI. Jan. 17-Gen. Stoessel his
wife and daughter, two Admirals two
Generals. 2l5 other officers and more than
300 civilians from Port Arthur sailed this
evening for Marseilles on the steamer
Australian. The departure of the steamer
was deferred until it was dark In otier to
prevent the Russians from seeing the
defences of the harbor.
During their brief stay here the officers
who had given their paroles bought goods
To the value of more than Si2 900 gold.
They had an abundance Of money, but the
soldiers have not received their pay for
many months. Gen. Fock stays here n
prisoner
LONDON. Jan. 1s-The Nagasah CORE
spondent of the Express says that he visited
Gen. Stoessel at hasa, suburb Of
Nagasah where he occupied a villa that was
furnished in European fashion. The cor
respondent found the General in the garden,
where he was greatly Interested in watching
the gambols of number of little girls,
orphans whose fathers we're officers who
we're killed at Port Arthur. The General
occasionally scolded the girls when .i.eir
noise became too distacting
Of the delicate courtesy with which the
japanese had received the Russian officers
He also paid a tribute to the japanese at
Port Arthur. He said that they we're eN-
trernely chivalrous viotors, and that Gen.
Nog was the most chiyalrous Of them all.
In discussing the siege Gen. StoeSsel
said it was true that the Car had promised
that every months service at Port Arthur
would count for a year in promotion and
in obtaining a pension but that was only
one Of the subsidiary motives for proiong
ing the defence Tho real power behind
the defence was loyalty, ana next was the
hope of succor. He added
we had great hope until October that
the Baltic fleet would arrive our Anal
urgent requests for help were never an
swered. II was merely a coincidence that
the capitulation occurred on the Western
New Year Day The loss OF 203 Metre Hill
and Erhungshan. combined with the deadly
workmanship Of those terrible II inch
guns. had depressing effect.
Gen. Kondratchenko's death and the
fearful increase OF scurvy fixed the date Of
capitulation beyond the possibility Of
prolongation The final war council was
unanimous in favor of surrendering II IS
quite untrue that dissented.'
The correspondent adds that the junior
officers bitterly denounce the Government
for incapacity and for its original folly in
entering upon the war subaltern de-
clared in Gen. Stoessel's presence that all
who were returning to Russia from Port
Arthur were returning as reyolutionists in
spirit.
Gen. Stoessel did not rehuke his subordi-
nate for this statement. but said: Let them
talk They have earned the right to think
as they please by braving untold deaths
for their country
