JAPAN PREPARING TO
SEND AN ULTIMATUM
Information from China Leads to the
Belief That This Is Logical
Diplomatic Step.

TOXIC, May 4, 7.3O p. ma Japanese
newspaper declares that the elder states
men, after listening to lengthy explana-
tions from the premier and foreign minis
ters, have approved project to send an
ultimatum to China.
Information reaching Japan, this paper
says, leads to the conviction that the ma
ture of the last Chinese answer obhges
Japan to resort to this logical diplomatic
step.
Continuing, the paper says that the con-
cessions made by japan had created the
belief that China was satisfied and that
the matter would be arranged peacefully.
There is an impression now that the presi-
dent of China desires an ultimatum in
order to justify China's eventual accept
ance.
| According to another paper martial law
| will be proclaimed in South Manchuria
simultaneously with the issuance of the
ultimatum.

STRANDED TRAVELLERS SUE.
Former Brattleboro Woman One OF
Plaintiffs in Suit Against Agency

There was a reunion in the Boston
municipal civil court yesterday of some
of the people who went to Europe
shortly before the war broke out on
the so-called Barbara Galpin tour, and
who were stranded in Interlaken,
Switzerland. They appeared before
Judge Parmenter to press their claim
against George E. Marsters, Inc, for
the alleged failure of the defendant to
carry out its tour contract. Among
the plaintiffs was Mrs. ]. II. Soliday
of Dedham, Mass, daughter of Mrs.
NJ. S. Jones of this town.
1t is claimed that the defendant
made contract with the plaintiffs, by
which it was agreed that for certain
sum the defendant would take the
plaintiffs from Boston an July 4, last,
and carry them to various places in
Europe and return them to this coun-
try on Aug. 10.
The plaintiffs say that the party left
here on the appointed day and that
on arriving in Italy the members Were
met by man who represented himself
| to be an agent and who conducted the
party as far as Interlaken, arriving
there on Aug or 4. At this place, ii
| is alleged, the agent told the travellers
that his time as their conductor was
up and that he must leave them. Mean
time war had been declared and sthe
party was stranded in Interlaken and
was in that city for about nine days
before being able to get out. The
plaintiffs claim that the agent TOLD
| them he would have to leave then
there, and that they would have tc
get back as best they could.
! The defence to the suits is that the
plaintiffs agreed that the defendant
should not be liable for damages re
sulting from strikes, war, quarantine
or failure of railways or steamships tt
keep their schedules

Fierce Fighting at the Dardanees

Italy has postponed again her decision
concerning participation in the war.
Rome dispatches say that new offers
nave been presented on behalf of Austria
in an effort to satisfy Italy's demands
King Victor Emanuels decision not to
attend the unveiling of the Garibaldi mon
ument is regarded as an indication that no
warlke action viii be taken in the imme-
diate future, for it was the opinion in
Rome that his presence would have been
equivalent to a declaration of war on
Austria
Information from Vienna which the
Austrian military authorities are now
willing to have known shows that the
sudden attack on the Russians in western
Galica was the result Of an elaborate
plan made by the German and Austrian
military chiefs several weeks ago
A large army of fresh Austrian and Ger
man troops was concentrated before Cra-
COW for the attack.
Unofficial advices from Russian sources
assert that the German claims of victory
are exaggerated, although it is admitted
the movement was an important one.
The Russian war Office has had little to
say further than to state that violent
lighting has taken place.
A London despatch comedies that if il
be true that the Russian front has been
pierced the war will be prolonged greatly
simultaneously with the new attack Oh
the Russian front Austria has resumed
operations against Montenegro.
An official Montenegro statement says
Austrian attacks were repulsed.
At Berlin it is said new Austrian
army has been prepared to resume the
campaign against Servia.

One unofficial despatch says fierce fighting
is proceeding day and night.

FOUR-YEAR-OLD BOY
TERRIBLY MUTILATED
March-Same Jack the Ripper
Probably Responsible.

NEW YORK, May 4-Charles Murray,
a sturdy child four years of age, went to
play in front of his home, No. 270 First
avenue, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets, last evening at o'clock. An
hour and fifty minutes later he was found
stabbed to death in the hallway on the
ground floor of the house.
Detectives who have been trying to run
down the man who ripped to death five
year-old Leonora Anna Cohn in the hall
way of her home, No. 353 Third avenue,
between Twenty-ffth and Twenty
streets, March 10, at once transferred
their activities to the new murder
They agreed that both children had
way, and there was every reason to be-
lieve that the same Jack the Ripper
was responsible for both crimes, which
We're committed in the same section of
the city.
Inspector Cray at Ills o'clock last
night arrived at the Murray home with
an Italian, whose name he refused to give.
He said the man had been stopping at the
Olive Tree Irn in East Twenty-third
street and had just been taken into Gus
tody He positively denied he was the
murderer, and Mary Murray was unable
to identify him positively, although she
said, He looks like the man | saw leaving
the house.
The man was detained.
| Later the inspector said that the man
| is Antonio Cumonella, 10 years old, who
has been at the inn for the past two days
In his possession was long bladed knife
| with a keen edge.
Questioned further, the prisoner said he
had spent the afternoon in the home of q
sister, No. 412 East Eighteenth street
He said he is a shoemaker, out of work
He was held on a charge of vagrancy.
A man representing himself as the mur
derer of Leonore Anna Cohn had writer
many letters to the mother of the deaC
girl, defying arrest and threatening tt
commit similar crime. That he shoulC
apparently have carried this threat int
!execution amazes the police.

ported Russian reverse in western Galicia
took precedence over all other phases OF
the war today and the event ovcrshad-
owed the Forthcoming budget Striking
an average between the Russian and Ger
man official accounts newspapers agree
that the Russians must have been pushed
back a considerable distance along this
front.
Petrograd expresses little concern over
the situation, although admitting that the
Austran-German forces are making strong
attacks along the front
i he German official advices concerning
operations on the western front confirm
the French and British reports of attacks
by the invaders in st. Julien, but nothing
is said about the assertion of the allies
that Hill No. 60 is again the object Of the
German offensive.
No further Official news has been re-
ceived from the allies concerning the Oar
daneles, but the publication Of a long
/ list of casualties gives ample evidence OF
| the stubborn opposition which the Turks
are giving to the landing Of troops.
| Prussia IS again cooperating in the at
/ tack on Constantinople by renewing the
bombardment Of Bosphorus fort
| Italy IS occupying the center OF the dI
plomatic stage, but there is little in tn,
way of authentic news from Rome
The latest information is that negotia
tions between Italy and Austria, after be
ing broken off as the result of the dead
lock. have once more been resumed

tiations is attracting much attention here

not conceal the fact that there is consid
cradle uneasiness over the situation in tn
