CRUISING ALONG The COAST
ROJESTvENSKY's SQUADRON NOT
i MAKING MUCH PROGRESS
! NoRTHWARD.

Hue, Cochin-China, May 1.-The
German ship Hansa, in from Paitan
bay, British North Borneo, settles the
position of the Russian Baltic feet and
puts an end to the belief that Rojest-
vensky sailed for the Formosa straits
on last Wednesday.
The captain of the Hansa declares
all the Golfers and other supply ships
were missing and that twenty-five
vessels in all were between five and
twelve miles off the mainland of Co.
chin China. This news makes it clear
that since his departure from Kam-
ranh bay last Saturday the Russian
admiral has been sailing up and down
the coast. When sighted by the Hansa
he was forty-one miles northeast of
kamranh bay.

CANNOT CHECK DISEASE.
Plague May Wipe Out Entire City Of
Pisagua, Chile.

San Antonio, Tex. May PAS
sengers from Chilean ports, according
to an Express special from Mazatlan,
Mex, bring the first full information
concerning the terrible ravages of bu-
bonic plague in the city of Pisagua,
Chile. For some time before their de-.
parture the deaths in Pisagua had
ranged from fifteen to thirty a day
and the authorities were then unable
to enforce burials Corpses were
thrown into the streets to decompose
and spread contagion. But little head
way has been made in the fight on the
disease and it looked as If the entire
population of that Chilean port might
be wiped out by the plague. Many
persons had been shot down by the
soldiers on guard while attempting to
escape from the stricken city.

MUST EXPLAIN CHARGES AFFECT.
ING ASSISTANT SECRETARY
OF STATE LOOMS.
HIS SUCCESSOR AT CARACAS NAMED
PRESENT AMERICAN MINISTER TO
COLOMBIA TRANSFERRED
TO VENEZUELA.

Washington, May 1. - Secretary
Taft has received instructions from the
president to call Minister Bowen, now
at Caracas, to Washington; also to
send Mr.. Russell, now minister to
Colombia, to Caracas. and Mr.. Barrett,
now minister at Panama, to Colombia.
1t is stated that if Mr. Bowen's ac-
ttOn relative to the charges affecting
Assistant Secretary Loomis are not
subject to criticism it is the presidents
purpose to send him as minister to
Chile and then probably as ambassa-
dor to Brazil
The cablegram to Minister Bowen,
lnstructing him to report to Washing
ton forthwith, was dispatched during
the day by Acting Secretary Loomis.
If the minister is particularly active
he may catch the next mail steamer,
which would permit him to reach
Washington about May 8, the day the
president expects to break camp and
start homeward. If he misses this
steamer the minister must wait at
least a week for another. Arriving
here before the presidents return Mr.
Bowen will make his statement to Sec
retary Taft, who is disposed to deal
with the case himself and not permit
1t to remain open to add to the bulk
of important business which will con-
front the president upon his return to
the capital.
Secretary Taft also sent cabla-
gram to Minister Bowen during the
day stating the reasons for his sum-
mons to Washington. They are, in
brief, first, because Mr.. Bowen had
filed charges against Mr.. Loomis; Sec
ond, the publication of those charges
in the New York Herald; third, Mr.
Loomis' complete denial; fourth, MI
Loomis' countercharge that Mr.. Bowen
had secured that publication, and yfifthy-
MIR. Loomis' desire to be confronted
by Mr.. Bowen here, The secretary
added:
eff all goes well you may return to
the diplomatic service"

therefore, is being held in abeyance

is expected that he will take up the
matter directly with the Chinese gov

DISTURBANCES CONTINUE.
Number of Persons Injured in Rotino
at Chicago.


Chicago, May disturbances in
the teamsters' strike began early in
the day. The trouble started near the
Eighteenth street barns of the En-
ployers' Teaming company.
Inor Mulcahy, a plumber, was at
tackled by nonunion colored teamster
and cut with razor about the face
and neck. Mulcahy was taken to the
Peoples hospital. His assailant es.
capped. Mulcahy was walking by the
barns on the way to his place of busi-
ness when persons in a crowd about
the barns, it is declared, began to jeer
the nOnuniOn cOlOred teamsters. The
nonunionists resentfully rushed into
the crowd. Before the police could in
terfere Mulcahy, who CHANGED to be
nearest the negroes, had been fearfully
slashed. Following the outbreak 100
negroes employed as nonunion team
sters left the stables to begin service
tor the j. V. Farwen company.
Two police patrol wagons and 100
policemen guarded the negroes.
Two Boys Painfully Hurt.
Two boys were victims of the dis
order growing out of the strike. Both
were painfully but not fatally hurt.
Victor Grimes, aged fifteen years, a
messenger for trade paper, was as
saulted by three boys, one of whom
stabbed him in the chest. Grimes had
refused to obey orders of the boys not
to deliver any more packages.
James Mcnamara, aged seventeen
years, a wagon boy, who had been en-
ployed by Marshall Field & Co., was
shot in the arm and seriously wounded
by U. 3. Coles, negro nonunion man.
Coles was arrested.
The police used clubs vigorously
upon crowd that gathered at the
Majestic hotel in Quincy street. where
two colored men were trying to de-
liver a load of coal. The mob had
surrounded the nonunion drivers and
stones were thrown. A riot call was
sent in and the unloading of the wagon
was accomplished under guard.
Great quantities OF live chickens
and vegetables, shipped by express,
accumulated at the railroad depots and
express stations during the day. The
express wagons have been unable to
