FOR THE MARINES.
Yarn Of Jap Naval Men In Disguise on Van.
kee Warships Called Fool story"

One Of the most thrilling Of the unofficial
yarns which have lately been reeed out of
the navy has been officially ruined. News
OF the sad occurrence got abroad yester-
day. Six weeks or more ago 1t was rlmored
about the navy and creduluously printed
in weekly newspaper devoted in part
to naval affairs that the real secret Of the
Japanese success on the waters had been
discovered by Admiral Robey D. Evans.
The beautiful story was that when the
Admiral was on the Asiatic station he had
occasion to visit Japanese cruiser. The
commander Of the cruiser greeted him with
a smile and hearty handshake and called
him by name. The Admiral was puzzled.
The commander took him below, to the
Captains cabin, and made for the side
hoard. There abstracting a napkin the
in deferental manner approached the
American Admiral. saying:
What will you have, sir2"
Whereupon Admiral Evans recognized
who had sailed with him through the Span
ish war under the name OF Sarto. This
story WAS credited to Admiral Evans,
along with the inference that the Japanese
had doubtless gained great deal OF the
present effectiveness Of their navy by
IUt HlduV Wy CCItIlIsrlOUeu
officers Of the Japanese Navy disguised as
servants on American vessels.
The story was regarded as authentic by
many because Of the known disposition OF
educated Japanese OF more or less aristo-
cratic families to engage In comparatively
mental occupations in this and other coun-
tries for the sake of learning the ways and
the speech Of the land. There are many
persons high in authority who believe that
the Japanese Government has had men
Under it's direction on every ship in the
United States Navy for many ears.
But it was announced for Admiral Evans
yesterday that the story of the Asiatic
altogether untrue and that the Admiral
had no patience with the persistence Of
the yarn. The officer who spoke for the
Admiral at the Brooklyn navy yard yea
terday even went 40 far as to say that
IL was fool story"

ST. PETERSBURG, June 12.-The Norosh

Paris Reports That They Telesraphed q
Protest to the Gar.

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
PARIS, June IA despatch to the
Temps from st. Petersburg says that the
Car received a telegram from Guntzuling
on Saturday. signed by Linievitch. Kuro-
patkin, Kaulbars, Sakharotf and other
Generals, protesting against the making OF
peace, and reminding his Majesty that all
the Generals had unanimously and energeti-
cally declared in favor OF continuing the
war until it should be successful.
They declared that II peace were con-
sidered the enemy, intoxicated by success,
would assuredly exact conditions that would
be injurious to the honor of the country.
There are, however, nc rea sons to grant such
conditions, for the Russians are not reduced
to that extremity. The Tsu Shima disaster
was certainly a sad event, but It has no
relation to the valiant army which is in
splendid condition and burning with the
desire for revenge by obtaining success,
which it hopes is not far distant.
The Generals declared that the Russian
positions are excellently fortified and
although the rains have hitherto prevented
the army from taking the offensive it ia
able to hold its own successfully now that
it's losses at Mukden have compa ratively
been repaired.
The despatch concludes with an express
sion of the hope that in the course of the
present month the army will be able to take
the offensive, which will completely change
the aspect of affairs, and with the declara
ton that the Gar can have entire con-
fdenoe in the force and power Of the troops,
and that the position has in no way a crit
ical character which might necessitate the
conclusion Of peace on conditions which
would be unfsvorable to Russia.
The Temps's correspondent states that
the troops in all the camps at GuntzIling.
on learning Of the opening of peace nego-
tiations, made noisy demonstrations in
favor of the sentiment expressed in the
Generals despatch.

Mrs. Meyers first impulse was to jump.
Then she remembered her daughter. Katie,
in the cabin and tried to get to her. The
trucks barred entrance and the mother
reached down to the child, who was lying
on a bunk, to the top Of which the water
had already risen. the after half OF the boat

BROOKLYN SUBWAY CAVE-IN.
Tracks Endangered and Tranc. Surface
and Elevated. Stopped Several Hours.


An accident somewhat similar to that
in this borough caused flood in the Brook
lyn subway excavation yesterday and all
traffic on Fulton street in the heart Of the
Brooklyn shopping district was stopped
several hours. No trains were allowed to
run on the elevated on Fulton street for
nearly five hours. The heavy downpour
about II A. NJ. caused water to rush into
the subway along Fulton street from Flat
bush avenue to Elm place About the
same time the brick sewer along Fulton
street, which has been uncovered by the
excavators, burst with roar at Duffield
street, throwing bricks and mud into the
air.
The force Of the food tore away some
of the snoring along the excavation and
there was CAVERN close to one of the pillars
supporting the elevated road. The wooden
bridge on which the trolley cars run was
also weakened. Word was sent to the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit people that it was
not safe to run trains or trolley cars.
The downtown elevated trains were stopped
at Flatbush avenue where there Ia a switch.
Passengers got transfers to the surface

GIFTS TO HAVE AN N. 0. PLANK,
BUT SAY THAT OWNERSHIP NEED

M.Deuble-O In Case Private Owners Don't

ceived Very Few Replies to Its ALI
Around No1.Partizan Overture.


The city committee Of the Citizens Union
met last night and decided to recommend
to the fall convention that a municipal
ownership plank be put in the Cts plat
form. The recommendation adopted by
the committee applied especially to public
lighting utilities and to the subways. 1t
sets forth that, as some of the gas COM
pany's franchises are about to expire, the
city has an opportunity to acquire the
plants; further, that the city should have
unrestricted ownership OF future under
ground railroads.
The report of the committee wound up
with this ambiguous st atement: Owner
ship does not necessarily involve operation,
but unless private companies agree to
terms so advanta geous to the public and
just to the employees as to warrant short
term leases the city itself must operate"
isn't this a straddle play for the votes
OF people on both sides Of the municipal
ownership issue?" ex-senator Ford, one Of
the leaders Of the Cts. was asked
NO." he replied, lit merely means that
the Union will advocate that the city should
have greater power than it now has in deal
ing with its public utilities"

ven ton met, but according to r. Fulton

they wish to do Immediately is to have
the walks in the new part opened up,
three walks made through the old part
with gravel on all, and grass seed to be
sown and fertilized. At present there
is only sufficient money in the treasury
to purchase the seed. Will you not
make contribution to this cause? It
is most earnestly requested that every
one who has an unimproved square in
the cemetery contribute at least $500.
A number have promised to do 80, and
as it is difficult to see each one person
ally the ladies will be most grateful if
contributions are sent to Miss Sallie
Faw, treasurer, or Mr.. Horace Miller,
who will give receipts for all amounts
contributed. Later a complete list of
contributors and amounts will be put
