Kamamura on Guard;
Battle Is Imminent

LABUAN, British Borneo, May S-A
really dramatic situation has begun in
the naval end of the war if the report
brought by the steamer Chiengmai be
true. and there is no reason to doubt it.
On her way from Manila to what is
known as the Palawan passage, west of
the Investigator shoals. the Chiengmai
on Friday night passed a fleet of war
ships and colliers off the Mantannane
Islands. just south of the Sulu sea. The
steamship was not challenged, and,
hence, not speaking the warships, is
without specific knowleuoe as TO their
nationality.
The nearest, a mile off, was a cruiser
Of probably 1900 tons. Eleven large ships
and six torpedo boats were in the fleet
Not Russian Vessels.
This news caused a sensation here,
because it is impossible that the yes
sells belong to Rogestvensky, squadron
or TO Admiral Nebogaton's fleet.
The Mantannane islands are off the
northwest coast of Borneo, 800 miles from
Singapore. where Negobatofs squadron
vfas sighted on Saturday, and hence it
is impossible that the warships were
Russian.
There is no other considerable feet
IN Chinese waters except the ships of
the United States in the several har-
Dors or the Philippines, and of course,
they would not be gathered at the en-
trance to the SuIu sea. more than a
thousand miles from Manila.
The evidence. therefore, is overwheIm-
ing that this is Kamamura's $ main fleet,
and that il is not in the rear of Rogest-
NenSky It makes probable that the
russian is to have fleet III front and
behind him, in his journey to the North
China sea.
There is the most Interesting situation
that from the point sighted, the Jap
aIlese ships can cut off NebogatofT any
where on the Singapore route toward
French 1ndo-China, and smash his ships
pefefe he reaches Rogestvensky.
Fight Is Imminent.
II Kamamura Is informed of Nebo-
gatoff's s movements there is nothing
whatever to prevent him from cutting
of the Russian Red Sea squadron
Assuming he Is at the Mantanane is
lands, then he is midway between the
two Russian fleets, but considerably
south. By moving northeast he would
get between them in three days
The captain OF the Chiengmai, inter
viewed by the British consul, said he
first observed the warships when TWEEN
ty-fiye miles southeast of the Viper
shoals They were south of what IS
ships being little out OF his course to
Iabuan he did not attempt TO make
out their nationality. - HEE
He estimates that there were from sew
enteen TO twenty vessels in the fleets
Evidently they had been guarding the
Balabac straits through the Sula sea,
which makes it all the more likely that
it was a japanese fleet on the watch for
Nebogatoff.
Has Heard News.
By this time Admiral Kamamura un-
doubtedly has heard from Palawan is
land that the supplementary squadron
passed through the AfaIacca straits On
Saturday, and this suggests that the
Japanese may meet them northeast of
Great Natuna islands, on the course to-
ward French Indo-china.

Sir Charles Criticises
Our Luggage Checking

Among the delegates there is naturally
much talk comparing the different
methods in vogue In America and Europe
in the management of railroads. One
topic which has caused much discussion
is the American custom of checking
baggage. which is rukr own in England
and most countries on the Continent of
Europe.
Sir Charles j. Owen. general manager
of the London and Southwestern rail-
way, thinks the American custom a DIS
advantage, as viewed from the English
standpoint He says it may be all very
well for America, where labor can be
had only at a high price, AMI the hire
OF cabs comes to an extraordinarily
high figure. He doubts, however, i the
system works TO tho advantage Of he
passenger.
He tells the following story as indie
atiVe of the American custom of hand
ling baggage, and the disadyanta ges
that ensue therefrom;
''On one occasion | was very anxious
to be in evening dress within an hour
OF my arrival. [ was assured by this
eNpressman that my luggage would be
al my hotel in hale an hour after the
arrival of the train, but one hour went,
two hours, three hours, four hours and
al 1880. just as / was wanting to go
to bed, one out of four pieces OF bag
ga &c arrived and / he'd the misfortune
10 be obliged to go to Lad without even
the use of toothbrush. Now, sir, in
England, We have a very powerful press
and the public are very fond of resort!ng
to ii, and / am quite satisfied that If
the amount Of Inconvenience which |
have personally suffered were expert
enced by the British public, the press
would take it up to such an extent that
our parliament, Wlsch is always amen
able To the press would infiict some
very heavy disa bilties On the railway
companies who Were so treating their
pasSen gers.
Compartment Cars.
A group of Americans and Eu-
ropeans We're discussing the foreign
custom of having the passenger cars
divided into small compartments that
will seat only eight or ten people
These compartments have no way of
exit Or ingress. as Il rule, save by tifa
door which opens on the railroad plat
form like the door OF a cab, and which
is locked by the guard on its pulling
out from station.
Il have heard remarked the Amer
lean who brought up the subject. that
several noteworthy crimes have oc-
CURED from only two people being
locked into one Of these compartments
while the train was in motion. There
was, of course, TO way of the victim
giving an alarm except by pulling the
emergency rope, which was Impossible
once ne or she had been pinned down
by the assailant. The rest was easy
for the assaiiant.
The foreigners had to admit that the
compartment cars had this disadyan-
tage.
Railroad in Chile.
Americans built a railroad in Chile
as long ago as 1851, according to Senor
w. Sierra, the delegate of the Chilean
government railway.
He thinks his country owes much to
the enterprise of Americans on account
of this fact

been received from the Manchurian
headquarters, but the imperial war

Russians Forced Back.
Small Russian divisions, far advanced

forced TO retire.
On Thursday the Japanese IN force at
tackled Palaetun, SanlIndan. and Batzya.
on the right flank east Of the Lao

villages after severe fighting
On Friday night they advanced half

railroad north of Chautzu and, while

Wide Turning Movement.
The japanese burned shahed2i and

News cones that force estimated at
1860, Including three squadrons of cav

night and on Saturday morning captured
the advanced position on the road to

"Over 1000 men of the right ability

This statement was made by Mr.. H,
j. Hapgood, president of "Hapgoods, :"
in an address on the 'Search for
Men" given in the business economy
course at the West Side Young Men S
Christian Association, 57th street and
8th avenue. Mr.. HapgOOd said that a
study of the employment problem led
him to believe that the demand for
statesmen, clerical, mechanical and
executive men of the highest ability,
is far in excess of the supply
'These high salaried POSITIONS" he
said "are not vacant, but are filed by
men not big enough for them. Every
large employer has a number of men
who do their best but who lack the
ability to get the results demanded by
the keen competition of today. The
general manager of one large New

has been trying to find right men to

In the face of conditions like this no

ambition" Everybody mustn't rush
