deep, and it was 800 feet to the plane

gestion thereof from the New York

ment and then used my influence as
to collect the full amount
from the government. never pur-
chased or owned or had any interest
In any claim against the Venezuelan
government and never prosecuted in
any manner or form any calm against
that government except in obedience
to instructions.
THE third charge is that I agreed
with Mr.. Meyers to use my influence
to adjust an obligation to the amount
Of $4,000, 900 for consideration Of
of that sum, or nominally
81 100000. The charge is absolutely
false"

THE LAND CAMPAIGN.
Resumption Of Fighting In Manchuria
Reported.

London, April 2S.-The news of the
resumption of fighting in Manchuria
Is supposed here to show that the Jap
anese have now decided not to await
the issue of the impending naval con-
test but to utilize the few weeks in
tervening between the drying up Of
the thawed winter roads and the ar
rival Of the summer rains in June for
the resumption of the land campaign.
The completion of the railway to Muk-
den will greatly simplify Field Mar
shal Oyama's task of provisioning his
vast army and thus facilitate the re.
newal of hostilities.
No further news has been received
of either Rojestvensky's or Neboga-
toff's squadrons. The report is con.
firmed that the submarine cable has
been cut at Hainan; but according to
the Daily's Telegraph's correspondent
at Toxic. the Japanese authorities
have learned that the Russians are
using Hainan as a base.
