transmitted to the Russian admiral, and
at the same time inquiry was made
whether he would be required to put
to sea within twtney-four hours after
taking on coal and provisions sufficient
to take them to the nearest port. 1t
was represented that up to this time
only enough coal and sufficient food
supplies for use in harbor from day to
day had been given, as they arrived
in Manila with practically no coal or
provisions.
Governor Wright submitted the uues-
tion as to whether they were entitled
to take on coal and provisions to carry
them to the nearest port, and was ad-
vised that the president directed that
the twenty-four hours limit must be
strictly enforced; that necessary sup
plies and coal must be taken on within
that time, these instructions being con-
sistent with those of June 5, which
stated that the Russian admiral's ships
were suffering from damage due to bat
tie and that it was the American policy
to restrict all operations of belligerents
at neutral ports. In other words, that
time should not be given for repair of
damages suffered in battle.

CHICAGO, June 6.-The teamsters'
joint council tonight appointed q COM
mittee with full power to settle the

The appointment of the committee

MINISTER'S WANT PEACE
Paris Information Said to Be Decid-
edIy More Hopeful

PARIS, June GA dispatch to the
semi i-official Temps from st. Petersburg,
filed at O'Clock this afternoon, says:
1T is learned from an authoritative
source that the unanimous efforts of
the ministers are directed toward peace
and that they hope to succeed shortly"
Information reaching here gives a
decidedly more hopeful view to the
peace outlook. This is particularly true
concerning the unity of the foreign
pressure which is being exerted.
Though it is not yet evident that
Russia will yield to the influence. the
exchanges in which Berlin is taking an
important part are considered likely to
exert a strong tendency toward the in
itiation of peace negotiations. 1t is the
understanding here that Germany and
the United States are now taking the
foremost part in the efforts toward
peace with the other powers lending
them strong moral support.

NEW YORK, June 6. - Richard
Cheatham, secretary of the Southern
Cotton Growers association, has de-
cared his intention of calling Presi-
dent Roosevelt's attention to what he
considers gross irregularities in both
the preparation and the publication of
the government cotton report, issued

1t is understood that he charges

figures and given them in advance of
publication to brokers for use in de-
pressing the cotton market.
For several months the statistics
gathered by the association have been
at variance with those emanating
from Washington, and the officers of
the association, together with brokers
and cotton merchants in this city, have
conducted a secret investigation in the
hope of ascertaining the reasons for
the discrepancy.

A heavy engagement followed.
My ships were mainly painted black
and white and stood out as large tar

We're painted an olive green color and

cessant fire which the Japanese con-
centrated on my flagship, the Oleg, I
transferred my flag to the Aurora.

defeated and scattered. L decided, for

LINEVITCH is FOR WAR
Firmly Believes He Will Defeat the

HEADQUARTERS OF THE RUS

churia, June 6.-Undsmayed by Ro-
jestvenskys defeat and full of conf
dence as to the outcome of the ap-
preaching battle, Lieut.. Gen. Linevitch
is for war to the Bitter end, and he be-
lieves that the Manchurian army is
now strong enough to assume the ag-
gressive.
To a question put to him by the cor
respondent of the Associated Press, to
whom he granted an interview today,
as to whether he was for war or peace,
the commander in chief replied firmly
and without the slightest hesitation:
'Most certainly I am for war. L am
a soldier. The emperor's will is natur-
ally my law, but my voice now, as be-
fore, is for the continuance of the fight.
with the destruction of our fleet
vanishes of course the hope of those
who at the beginning of the war wished
to make peace at Toxic, but our defeat
at sea has not interfered with my
plans-absolutely not one whit. I con-
slider myself strong enough not only
to hold my ground, but even to ad-
vance.
81 am no prophet and have no desire
to be one, but I firmly believe that I
can and will defeat the Japanese in
Manchuria.
'I have asked the war office to send
me reservists of the younger classes
instead of older ones, not because the
latter make poor soldiers, but because
with plenty of young and vigorous re-
servists it would be unjust as well as
inadvisable to call the older men from
their more settled life''

WATCHING WASHINGTON
Kaiser Supposed to Be Supporting
Roosevelt's Efforts for Peace

RooseveltS Efforts for Peace
ST. PETERSBURG, June 6.-This
afternoon the eyes of the diplomats
were rivieted on Washington, and the
dispatches recounting the sets of inter-
views between President Roosevelt,
Count Cassini. Mr.. Takahra Ambas-
sador Speck Won Sternberg and others
were read with great interest. No
doubt is entertained that the exchanges
of views are in the nature of a con-
certed effort to bring about peace in
the far east. Because of the expression
conveyed in the dispatches that Am
bassador Won Sternberg is acting as an
intermediary, the opinion prevails that
Emperor William is actively supporting
President Roosevelt.
Nevertheless, the diplomats are not
sanguine of practical result as there
is still no evidence that Emperor Mich
olas is ready to yield. Baron De Rosen,
who succeeds Count Cassini at Wash
ington. leaves st. Petersburg tomorrow,
but this does not mean that he is hast
ening his sailing to the United States,
the date of which remains June 2S. This
also is significant of the emperor's atti
tude. Count Cassini will not await the
arrival of his successor, but will sail
for Europe about the same date. The
new and old ambassadors will thus pass
each other in mid-ocean.

LONDON, June 6.-King Alfonso Of
Spain saw the sights of the metropolis
today in typical London weather. Rain
fell all day long, accompanied by chill
east wind. The limp decorations gave
the entire city bedraggled and forlorn

ever, carried out a long program with

The day concluded with a state ban

Grand Duke Vladimir, at a recent
family counsel while urging the futility
of continuing the struggle, stoutly
maintained that the loss of Manchur:a
and even portion Of eastern Siberia,
would not mean the ruin of Russia's
prestige, but that she could continue to
grow In influence and power just as
Great Britain did after the loss of her
American colonies.
Another important convert made by
the advocates of peace is Admiral
Alexieff. With Grand Duke Alexander

peace the backbone of what has been
denominated the war party seems to
be broken. Nevertheless the final word
rests with the emperor himself.
