LARGEST LINER
GRANTED FAVOR

The War Department has decided that
the Ambrose channel to New York har-
Dor may be used by the largest Of the
transatlantic steamers while the work
OF dredging 3 still In progress under the
direction of the Corps of Engineers. The
CUnard line people have been afraid that
the new big liner Lusitania might expe-
rieuce difficulty IN getting in and out
OF New York, when heavily loaded, by
way of the old channel. and appealed 10
the department with the result noted.
Smaller vessels. tugs. and other craft
i-vill not be permitted to use the Ambrose
channel while the work is going on.
Some of the big transatlantic 2ommpa-
nies, including the Cunerd Company,
have asked that the channel be buoyed-
This has been declined by the depart
ment inasmuch as to do so would give
the channel a sort OF legal status and
attach responsibility which the army
engineers decline to assume
The Lusitania, which is the largest
ship ever hOated in the world, and which

they have taken hundreds of thousands
of dollars from the Crow Indians. and
that she win keep on in her fight until
she cOmpels the Government 10 punish

Ths charge against Mrs. Gray will not
likely result IN a penalty being in
hicted, because OF circumstances sur
rounding her accepting money from the
Crow. The Indians became excited
when she made 1t plain TO them that
they were victims Of a conspiracy, and
readily advanced her the money TO lay
the matter before the proper officials
and secure for them their rights. The
acceptance OF money, however. from In
cians without the consent OF the Gov

called for a certain number OF sheep at

ira sheep on the reservation without
paying cent TO the Indians. In fact
ne obtained the land tor his own puT-
poses without the expenditure Of one

The principal charge made by Mrs.
Gray Is that the consent Of the indians

should have been. The Indians were

KOREANS FIGHT;
JAPANESE USE
MACHINE GUNS

SEOUL, Aug. 2.-Having dis
armed most of the Korean army,
though not without desperate fight
ing and heavy losses on both sides,
the Japanese are busy with whole
sale arrests of Koreans. Officials
Of the former Emperor's household
are in custody almost to a man, the
japanese charging that they were
responsible for the fighting. and
that a plot existed among them to
release the deposed Emperor.
Rioting and street fighting were re-
sumed at daybreak today. A demand
by japanese cavalry at the little West
Gate barrack for the surrender of the
Korean soldiers supplies started trouble.
The Koreans were finally driven into
their quarters by a heavy FIRE from the
tower gate.
Japs Use Machine Guns.
Machine guns were then brought into
play and General Okazild with re-en-
fcrcements invested all the buildings.
japanese with machine guns are also
guarding the approach to the japanese
EeCNiou OF the CITY.
Three more Korean garrisOns are still
70 be deprived of their munitions. Seri-
Gus lighting is expected to follow de-
mands for It's surrender.
Today a guard OF japanese was thrown
about the American consulate.
Sixty Koreans Killed.
About sixty Koreans were killed IN all
the fighting thus far. The japanese
losses are given at approximately forty
men. The first battle began with the
death OF Major PAX Sunghuang of the
Korean army. who committed suicide
when notified that the native troops were
70 be disbanded.
Before a strong force OF Japanese
could reach the barracks the men OF the
from their quarters with their rifles
and killed a japanese captain whose
company in turn fired on the Koreans
The lighting then became general and
lasted for hours.
u. S. Consulate Hit
The scene Of the conflict was the quar-
ter Of the city occupied by the foreign
consulates and many OF the bullets
struck the building occupied by United
States Consul General Sammons. So far
as reported. however, no foreigners were
wounded.
The japanese finally opened on the ma
i've troops with machine guns. forced
them 10 surrender and deprived them OF
their arms and ammunition. A single
battalion OF the native army alone re-
mains in service as a personal body
guard for the new Emperor. It Is ex-
pected that the ringleaders Of the up
rising viii be severely dealt with.
