INSTRUCTIONS TO GOVERNOR WRIGHT
PERMISSION REFUSED FOR RE-
STORING VESSELS DAMAGED
IN BATTLE AT SEA.

Washington, June 6.Admiral En-
quist will not be allowed to repair his
ships at Manila. This government has
decided that, as the injuries to the
vessels were not caused either by the
sea or storm, they would be obliged
to refuse permission for the vessels
to be repaired there. Secretary Taft
has cabled the following instructions
to Governor Wright st Manila regard
ing the ships:
"Time cannot be given for the re-
pair of the injuries received in battle.
Therefore the vessels cannot be re-
paired unless interned until the end Of
hosti1ities.''
Admiral Train has been instructed
accordingly. It was stated by Seere-
tary Taft that if the Russian vessels
agreed to leave Manila in their pres
ent condition they were welcome to
do so, but as it did not appear that
they suffered from any damage.
caused by the sea or storm this gov
ernment was obliged to take the posi-
tion above outlined
Policy Of Strict Neutrality.
The presidents decision regarding
the disposition of the Russian vessels
at Manila, that they shall intern or put
to sea, is, it is said here, in accordance
with the best naval opinion and is in
pursuit of the policy of strict neutral
ity followed by the Washington gov
ernment from the beginning of the
war. 1t is specifically declared that
there is no intention to show the
slightest fayoritism in the matter and
everything possible will be done for
the comfort of the wounded Russians.
The ships, when interned, will Of
course be allowed to be put in hab-
table condition and such repairs as
are necessary to keep them afoat will
be allowed.
So far as can be learned the Japa
nese government has showed no con-
cern regarding the course of action to
be taken by this government. Mr..
Takahira, the Japanese minister, said:
.'We have every confidence that the
policy to be followed will be in strict
accord with the neutrality SO carefully
maintained by the Washington gov
ernment."

Himself

Hillsboro, O., June 6.-Developments
in the killing of Madge Dimes, aged
fourteen, and Nellie Hart, aged six

win, a farmland, aged nineteen, who
then blew off his head with shotgun.

person. The girls were found shot
dead in their night clothing in their
bedroom and evidences show des-
perate struggle. Baldwin, who had
been taken in as a tramp by the farm
er. was found il the livingroom with a
discharged shotgun by his side. 1t is

'The Constitution of the United

compelled to be witness against him

was among the most cherished guaran-

one of the distinctive guarantees of
Anglo-Saxon civil liberty. 1t takes
equal rank with those constitutional
prohibitions in favor of the individual
as against the state that forbid the
impairment Of contract or the taking
of property without due process Of

not be forfeited. In the promotion of

NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN CHICAGO
STRIKE ANTICIPATED IN

Chicago, June 6.-DeVelOpmentS OF
the utmost significance in the team.
sters' strike hinge on the outcome of
arbitration negotiations between the
team owners and the teamsters within
the next few days. Both sides are in
an aggressive mood and failure to
reach an agreement, it is predicted
will force a walkout of 10000 more
teamsters and bring idleness to thou
sands of workmen in other crafts.
If the members Of the Chicago Team
Owners association force the issue
with their drivers similar action on the
part of other ,eaming organizations, it
is said, is practically certain.
If the teamsters agree to arbitrate
the question Of the right of the team
owners to make deliveries to strike
bound houses the decision, it is con
ceded, will be in favor of the team
owners, whose contract with the
drivers provides that at all times they
shall further the interests of their en-
ployers. With the team owners max
ing deliveries to all the concerns in
volved in the struggle the strike, it
is asserted, would lose its force at
once.
An indictment against Albert Young,
former president of the international
Transfers union, was returned dur
ing the day by the grand jury. The
charge against the labor leader is con.
spiracy to injure the business Of Mont
gomery, Ward & Co.
Union Teamsters Reinstated.
The lumber drivers strike situation
took new turn during the day when
the Pulaski Lumber company broke
from the arrangement with the Lum-
bernen's S association to use Employers
Tean1ing company men to make de-
liveries and reinstated some of its old
union drivers. Teamsters sent by the
Employers Teaming company to drive
the Pulaski company's wagons are
said to have failed to give satisfaction
and member of the firm resolved
upon getting teamsters who would
work.
Another cloud foated on the labor
sky during the day. The Union Trac-
tion company receivers fatty refused
several of the demands of the EN-.
ployes' committee seeking new wage
scale and working agreement. The
street car men wish to equalize the
wages of the Consolidated Traction
company and the Union Traction COM
pany proper. The employees also wish
pay for men summoned to barns for
extra work.
Nonunion men are still being har-
rassed by sluggers. Albert Johnson,
believed to be nonunion teamster,
was severely beaten at Fourteenth
street and Ashland avenue. When
found by the police he was insensible
and was bleeding from wound in the
head. He was taken to hospital,
where it was found that several of his
ribs were broken. He will likely die.
