 Much Hardship.

New York, Aug 7.-With thohsands of Hebrews out of bread on the east side owing to strike of kosher" jOurneymen bakers, much trouble Is expected by the police in the distr1ct affected. Reserves patrolled the streets all night to preserve order. A great effort will be made to-day by the journeymen to bring about real bread famine, in the hope that this will win the strike.
 The strikers say they are deter. mined to remain out of employment until ten hour workday is granted. They say they are 1900 strong and that the bosses cannot go on without them. The bosses, however, say that they will soon have enough non-union bakers if they can depend on police protection.
 The strikers at meeting last night appointed committee to wait on act ing Mayor Fornes today and demand police protection. They said the po- lice on Saturday night had clubbed many of their number. The police say the strike is hard to handle, as the people sympathize with the strikers and assaults on non-union men are numerous

WHAT IT WILL COST FEVER
 STRICKEN NEW ORLEANS.
The Federal Government Will Probably Take Immedi. ate Control of the Situation.The City Will no Doubt be Able to Resume Commercial Relations With Some of the Neighborine Towns in Short Time.

New Orleans. Aug With s7O,0Oo immediately in hand, resulting from | an assessment on the citizens of New Orleans, no difficulties stand in the way of immediate federal control of the fever situation. Dr White esti- mates the total expenses for eradica- ton at Sl,500 to $2,OOO per day, or from S1o0,0OO to S240,0OO for four
 months, which would carry the cam paign into December, when frost may be expected. There is, therefore, available enough money for a month or six weeks. and long before that
 time 1t is assured by Mayor Behrman and Chairman Janvier of the Citizens committee that the total of quarter of million asked for by the govern ment will be on hand. If success crowns the work of the marine hospi- tai bureau the fever may be complete ly under control by September 15. Au- gust has always been regarded as one Of the worst months in an epidemic, and the comparatively small number of fatalities thus far this month. in comparison with other years, gives great encouragement to the authorl- ties.
 Every facility wanted by the federal bureau is assured. Dr White says the municipal laws. including the mos quito ordinance, are sufficient for hls purpose. Engines of the fire depart ment will be used in flushing and oth- CT cleaning work
 It is expected that all the resources of the federal government will be used In obtaining modification of tue ex- treme quarantine regulations that are now in effect so that New Orleans will be able to resume commercial rela- tions with surrounding states The good effect of federal control is al- ready evidenced in the favorable view of the situation which is shown by Ill., terviews with the health authorities in nearby states and it is thought that little difficulty will be encountered in securing modification of the restric- ton against freight. The Louisiana parishes are already becoming more reasonable and some of them are an nouncing their willingness to receive goods from this city. With revival of business, New Orleans can the more readily furnish all the money needed by the government.

A HIGH TRIBUTE.

Tokio, July 9.-An officer of the pa val stan has made a statement in
 which he pays high tribute to some of the Russian officers participating in the battle of the Sea of Japan. His statement follows:
 There were several Russian officers
 whose conduct fin the recent battle de
 serves to be held high as model and
 example for all naval officers. Among
 them the most noteworthy was the
 conduct of Captain Rodlonoff, con-
 mander of the Nakhimoff His gallan.
 try is as praiseworthy as that of Com.
 mander Hirose. During the first day
 of the battle the Nakhimoff was ex-
 posed to the fire of our main squad- ron and sustained serious damage.
 During the night she was made the object of severe torpedo attack and finally, completely disabled, drifted close to Tsushima. The vessel was sinking and Captain Rodionoff sent seventy of the crew to land at Tsu. shima, remaining aboard himself with his chief navigator. When the Japan csc approached the sinking vessel they asked the captain to leave the vessel, but he refused. The Japanese board ed the vessel and endeavored to drag him into a boat, but he resisted. The ship was listing badly and threatened momentarily to plunge into the sea.
 The Japanese were forced to draw of and the captain went below to there meet his death. Suddenly the ship went down and our men thought the gallant officer was drowned. But Providence willed otherwise. We found the captain and navigator float ing in the water. locked in each oth- er's arms. They had embraced at what they thought was the moment or death, and were partly unconscious when we rescued them"
 There was a dramacc scene when the Monomach went down. The Sado Maru. which survived the remarkable experience with the vladivostok squadron in which the HitachI Maru was sunk. came upon some of the crew Of the Monomach and rescued them. Among them was an engineer officer who died and the officers of the Sado Maru gave him a military fu- neral from the deck. Later the Sado picked up the Monomach and getting a line to her endeavored to tow her 10 Tsusbima. The Monomach was leak- ing badly and the attempt to LOW her was failure. Suddenly there was great explosion aboard the Monomaci, and she began to settle in the watet Seeing that she was going down Cap tain Kamaya ordered the men of -thl Sado Maru to line the decks. and can ing the buglers directed them to sound taps. It was a pretty tribute to the ship which had been gallantly fought and to the men who gave up their lives in her.
