JACK TARS KICKED
And the Navy WDl Make Some Changes in the Uni
 forms.

New York, Aug 6.-The Jack Tars of the United States navy have made such mighty protest against the time honored headgear and blouses they wear ashore and on dress occasions aboard ship that, to meet the clamor of the enlisted men the navy department has appointed a committee to decide on changes in their uniforms. Captain Hugo Os- terhaus, commander of the battle ship Connecticut. is chairman of this committee.
 Captain Osterhaus has sent out statement to the captains of all war ships in the North Atlantic squadron and to the commander of every ship in the service asking for suggestions.
 The enlisted men are desirous Of obtaining coats and visor caps. Many of them want the wide fiarlng trousers, the world round immemo- rial cut peculiar to sailormen, changed into the ordinary pattern.
 But the chief grievance of the sail ors relates to the blouses and the old fashioned pancake hats. These caps are said by all seamen to be ab- solutely useless on windy day, as they can't be kept on the head. They afford no shade to the eyes and seem to exist merely as relic of tho past.
 The protest over the blouse is con sidered well justified in the navy. In the first place the seamen object to the wide collar, which blows up around their ears on winday days. They want shorter neckerchiefs and coats cut like those of the marines.
 Should the sailors demand be granted, it will be the first time In the history of the American navy that seamen have worn coats.
 The proposed uniform changes will affect the 30,000 seamen in the navy and will entail large outlay. It is believed the change in the trousers will not be made at once, but that the Jack Tars will be sup piled with coats and visor caps.

ECHO FROM WAR
Japanese Military Attache Who Rises Up 10 Defend General
 StOeSSel
TELLS OF SUFFERING

Paris, Aug. 6.-Capt Tsunoda, the Japanese military attache here who while on the staff of General Nogi conducted the negotiations for the surrender of Port Arthur in an open letter to-day came out in defense oi General Stoessel, the defender of the fortress.
 On the eve of the latter's trial by court martial for surrender to the Japanese. The Japanese attache in his letter painted pitiable picture of the conditions prevailing in the for tress, which he was the first to en- ter. All proper food was exhausted and the 10000 Russians under arms were, he said, in no condition to fight
 General Stoessel. according to the Japanese officer, might have held out for a fortnight longer but the result would have been an inevitable mas sacre in which it would have been difficult to distinguish combatantf from non-combatants In conclusion General Tsunoda said: "If others forget it, we remember that Port Arthur cost us 60,000 lives by gun fire alone. We dug 40 kilometers oi parallels and expended 30,000,000 rounds of ammunition. European his tory chronicles the glorious capitula- tion of Port Arthur, and 1t is so con- sidered in Japan. That is why the emperor of Japan ordered Genera Nogi to treat General Stoessel with all the honors due to a gallant sol. dier. His own country should treat him likewise.
