CHICAGO STRIKE
GAINS RECRUITS

CHICAGO, April 19.-Although influ-
ences are still at work in the hope that
an amicable adjustment of the diff
Guilty existing between the teamsters
and Montgomery Ward & Co. may be
reached, the indications tonight are
that the strike of the teamsters will
spread to other concerns. To-day $50
drivers employed by the E. NJ. Forbes
Teaming Company were ordered on
strike because the firm insisted on
making deliveries TO Montgomery
Ward & Co.. President Shea of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Teamsters
declared tonight he would order out
all drivers engaged by firms that in
sisted on delivering supplies to the big
store.
The new Employers Teaming' Com
pany began aggressive action against
the striking teamsters to-day by deliv-
ering coal to Montgomery Ward & Co.
The Coal Team Owners Association
has arranged for conference to-mor-
row with the Employers Association,
when another effort to effect settle
ment of the strike will be made. The
Team Owners Association will present
a proposition to arbitrate everything in
dispute. Nothing of tangible nature
is expected to result from this confer
ence, as Montgomery Ward & Co. have
steadfastly refused to arbitrate the de-
mands of the garment workers, al
though offering to adopt conciliatory
measures with the teamsters. The gar
ment workers places have been filed,
and Montgomery Ward g. Co. assert
there is nothing to arbitrate-

FEAR TORPEDO ATTACKS.

ST. PETERSBURG. April 19-The

jestvensky. but the Admiralty claims

regarding the plans of the admiral
The report that part of the squadron
was sighted off Hongkong is not cred
tied here. as Hongkong is far off his
route.
The main question now agitating the
naval officials is whether Rojestvensky

through the Straits of Formosa or bear
off into the Pacific through Baschi
The conviction is growing stronger
that the Japanese heavy division is
concentrating close to the shores Of
Japan and il is believed that Admiral
Togo will decline to give battle in the
open sea- This is what the Admiralty
officials hope for, as it believes Rojest-
vensky would have more than an even
chance IL the two squadrons lined up
in an open fight. They believe that
Togo's tactics will be night torpedo
boat attacks, in sttempts to scatter the
Russian ships, putting some of them
out of action and then picking off the
damaged vessels in the morning, as it
recognized that If one OF the Russian
ships be injured it might be too dan

CASSINI SHARPLY. REPLIES
TO BARON. KANEKO.
Embassador -Denounces Accusations Agains
Russian Soldiers in Manchura.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, April 19.-"Not once,
but many times, has General Kuropat-
kin ordered his troops to treat Japanese
captives and wounded not as enemies,
but as considerably as they would
their brothers. These orders have been
obeyed. They will continue to be
obeyed That Baron Kaneko should
have so low an estimate of the intelli-
gence Of the American public as to tell
such unfounded stories of cruel treat
ment of Japanese prisoners as he has
been credited with relating is mat
ter of astonishment to me-"
Such was the comment made by
Count Cassini, the Russian Embassa-
dor to-day. in regard to a speech made
by Baron Kentaro Kaneko last Friday
at meeting held at the home of Mrs.
Mason Davidge in New York City, for
the purpose of raising funds for the
widows and orphans of japanese
soldiers.
Baron Kaneko, who has made many
speeches and written many articles for
publication In the United State3 since
the war began, charged Russia with
having broken every article of the
Geneva convention, violated every
principle of humanity and outraged
every maxim of decency
Count Cassini declared he would not
let the accusations pass unnoticed, and
said

can officers. acting as attaches. There
also are newspaper correspondence

gentlemen are granted facilities for
seeing what is going on. They are not
constantly guarded and barred from
view of operations, as is the case in the
Japanese armies. Their eyes are open
and they are permitted to see Is 1t
not strange that some of these gem
tlemen, disinterested as they unques-
tiOnably are have not mentioned some
thing of the cruelties described by
Baron Kaneko, if such wrongs were
practiced?
cruelties have occurred or will occur.
The Russian soldier is not by nature
cruel. He has no desire to willfully in
jure those who fall helplessly into his
power. 1t is incredible that Baron
Kaneko should believe that sufficient
credulity exists in this country as to
permit him to put forward such state
ments as his tale that 200 japanese
captives were led bound together
through the streets of Mukden, and
that their Russian captors invited the
Chinese populace to offer them insult.
AS to the charge that Russia has
broken every article of the Geneva
convention, / have only to say that the
Japanese gentleman is apparently for
getful of his own Governments disre-
gard of the ethics of international in
tercourse.
1T is known to all the world that the
Japanese. without warning made tor
pedo attacks on the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur and attacked the Variag
and Korietz at Chemulpo, a neutral
harbor, before war had been declared.
1t was more defiant of International
comfy in that assurances had already
been given to the United States that
Japan would not begin hostilities un-'
til after a formal declaration of war.

sume to give lessons in civilization and

PORT LOUIS, Island of Mauritius,
April 19.-The German steamship
Juliette, late the British steamship

Diego Suarez, Madagascar, on April
IA for Batavia. Java, put in here to-

allowed to take 600 tons, but when
100 tons had been taken on board the
Colonial Office stopped her from TAX
ing any more, pending instructions
from the home Government The ac-
ton of the local officials was due to
statements made by members of the
crew that the Juliette is CARRYING

MUSKOGEE, 1. T., April 1s.-In-
dian Territory oil producers realize
that they are in a fair way to be
forced either to close down most Of
the producing wells or else lose much
money operating them and selling the
product to the Standard Oil Company.
A Territory producer said to-day that
the last cut of cents made by the
Standard Oil Company would render
all wells in the Territory producing
fewer than twenty-five barrels a day
profitless and that many of the larger
ones would be run at loss except un-
der favorable circumstances.

JAPaN's IRRITATION GROWS.

TOXIC. April 19.-Although not
reported directly, 1t is believed that
the Russian second Pacific squadron
continues the occupation of Kam-
ranh Bay or some other port of An
nam, where it is expected to remain
until joined by the third Russian Pa
cific squadron.
The report that Admiral Rojest-
vensky is maintaining a patrol and
examining neutral shipping off Kam-
ranh Bay increases the irritation to-
ward France for permitting the use
of that port as base of operations.
The japanese Government continues
silent regarding the representations
on this subject which have been made
to France. The press, however, con-
tinues it's agitation against France
demanding vigorous action.
