MUCH TALK
Associated Press laterview With
N. Witte Chief Topic in
Official Circles.
PARIS PAPERS VIEWS
The Temps States That Japan Would
Do Well to Take Account of Rus.
sa's Chief PIsnipotentiary.

st. Petersburg, July 21.-The Novoe
| Vremya today devotes the leading ar
ticle to the alleged Japanese peace
conditions as published by the Vienna
| Tageblatt and the Frankfort Zeitung,
dwelling especially on the specification
against the double-tracking of the ST.
beran Railroad, which, the paper de
clares, is utterly unacceptable in ev-
cry way, being equivalent to the po-
! litical and economical suicide of Rus
sia.
Russia Is Far From Being Crushed.
Paris, July 21-M. Witte, accom-
panied by his wife, several members of
his family and a number of officials,
making up the party which is on its
way to the United States, arrived at
the Northern Railroad station at 4:30
O'Clock this afternoon.
The interview of the Associated
Press on Monday with NJ Witte con-
tinues to be the chief subject of dis
cussion among officials and diplomats
and in the newspapers.
The Temps (semi-officlaD devotes
column leading article to it tonight,
pointing out the importance of the
Russian statesmans declarations. The
Temps says NJ. Whites statement was
most happy, recalling that he was
partisan of peace even before war be-
gan, not mere retrospective parti-
san, but because he is now in a better
10 hnp uyha
assisted in the rupture.
Moreover" continues the Temps.
IN. Whites statement shows that war
was not inevitable and that the OBJ
servance of the wise counsels of M.
Witte might have averted the war.
'tThis, however, does not mean that
NJ Witte Is resigned to make more
cruel sacrifices than any other negc
tiator, as he is unable to make con-
| cessions beyond point which the EN-
peror himself has fixed
The Temps adds:
"It is no bluff that NJ. Witte so
| fully develops in his declarations to
| the Associated Press The Japanese
| should take good account of M. Whites
state of mind. Russia, despite her
losses, is far from being crushed. 1t
would therefore be absurd for Japan
| to attempt to impose extreme condi-
| tions. and if the exigencies force her
to demand humiliating terms then the
success of the peace negotiations is ir-
redeemably compromised"
Japanese Warship Near Mouth Of
Amur River.
Copenhagen. July 21.-A dispatch

anese warships have been sighted near

River. Many of the inhabitants of
Nikolaievek and Vladivostock, it is
added, have fled to Khabarovskel for
safety.

Was One of the Most Frightful Dis
aster in Peace History of Navy.
San Diego, July 21.-One of the
most frightful disasters in the peace
history of the American navy, except
ing the sinking of the Maine at Ha-
vana, occurred in San Diego bay
shortly after 10:30 o'clock this morn
ing on board the U. S. gunboat Ben
nington. At moment when the
Narship was lying quietly at anchor
and was an object of interest to hun
dreds of observers, cloud of steam
suddenly burst out from point just
forward of the smoke stack, out of
which the spectators were Mortified
to see bodies and human fragments
hurled high in the air. The next mo-
ment the bleeding sailors were fight
ing, crippled in the water, against
death in only less sudden form than
that from which they had just es-
capped. All kinds of boats immediate
ly hurried to the rescue. Smaller
boats turned their attention to those
in the water, taking them ashore as
fast as a few could be taken on
board. Within half an hour from the
gies, automobiles and street cars were
bearing victims to the hospitals. The
sight will never be forgotten. Wagons
with dozens of wounded men were not
rare. One had eight sitting or reel
ing against the sides, holding in
their laps the heads of comrades near
to death, all with faces black with
CRIME and smoke. Every effort was
made to assist the stricken men.
The Bennington has been beached
and the work of taking out the
bodies is being prosecuted as fast as
possible. At IL o'clock fifty bodies
had been recovered and more remain
to be taken out. A barge just
brought ashore five more bodies and
reports three others waiting to be
removed.

STATUS OF UlNTAH LANDS
Secretary of Interior Makes Statement
Regarding Protests Against
Withdrawals from Entry.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O-Acting Secre-
tary Ryan of the Interior department to-
day said that the department had taken
cognizance of the complaint that there had
been a withdrawal from entry Of lands in
the Uintah Indian reservation in Utah,
which are not necessary in the conserva-
tion OF the water supply and that the
question as to the advisability of with
drawing all the land designated had been
taken up again by the department He
said that the Withdrawals had been made
for reservoir sites and for other purposes
connected with the reclamation of the arid
lands and for those purposes only In the
interests of the Indians or the general
agricultural development of the country He
added that the action had been based on
the recommendation of the geological sur
vey.
Mr.. Ryan referred to the anxiety mani
tested as to whether the lands in the res
ervation which had been set apart for a
forest reserve would be open to mineral
exploration and entry. and said that while
the department had not found II necessary
heretofore to pass on this question, there is
no doubt that such lands, not otherwise re-
served, are open 10 the operation Of the
mining laws as other lands In forest re-
serves are under the general law
