NEW YORK. July 31.-Martin It.

in which he denied emphatically that
he had given Governor Whitman the
names of five men implicated with
Charles Becker in the alleged grating.

ton that New York newspaper yes

Mr. Manton had named 1--WE men--two
dead and three living.
II had sought the Governor" saws
Mr. Manton In his statement, FOR tho
purpose OF asking him. In view of the
fact that he was the prosecutor who
brought about Becker's conviction, to
zen concerning the action that should
be taken by him as Governor in respect
to enforcing the sentence OF death I
told the Governor that Becker would
answer any questions propounded to
him by such a commissioner. The Gov
ernor then said: Manton, you need
not answer this unless you want to;
hut can Becker give me anything on
this municipal administration?
II replied; L don't know. You had
better get that first-hand from Becker's
lips He then went on to mention four
names. three of which he said wore OF
men not now important. One, how
ever. was that of q person now holding
high public office in the city. Con-
corning that one he said: Did he have
anything TO do with 1T? I replied: i
do not know. Becker has never told
me; but he said ne would answer any

NO BELGIAN GOODS FOR U. S.
Great britain Disinclined to Permit

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Great Brit
ain is disinclined to permit the nm
molested passage TO this country Of
ships loaded at Rotterdam with Bel
gian products. according to n message
to-day from Consul General Skinner at
London. Belgian goods form a part of
the vast accumulation of American
bound merchandise tied up in Rotter-
dam.
While efforts TO secure the release
OF all the Rotterdam shipments have
been unsuccessful, IT had been hoped
that goods shown to be Of bona fide
Belgian manufacture might be en-
empted from the British order in coun-
Gil. To-day's advices however, indi
cate that Great Britain is not prepared
to make such n concession.
The London government holds ship
ments from Belgium to be the same
as goods of German origin. so far as
the British order in council is con-
cerned, taking the position that so long
as Belgian territory is dominated by
Germany il is practically German terri
tory. Vigorous representation pointing

LONDON. July 3l.-Discussing the
liability of a retirement of the Rus

The Russian wings must hold on
until the center from Serock Novo-

of them, and, unless the Niemen and
Bobr fronts hold firm, there will be

An interesting point Is whether the
fortresses of Novogeorgievsk, WARSAW
and 1vangorod will be retained OIL
evacuated. Railways Germany needs
for further advance pass through
these fortresses, but IL Russian garri-
sons are left. they may absorb 100, 0OO
men. who may never be seen again"
The Chronicle believes Germany will
be content TO allow the Russians to
retire TO new line, meanwhile occupy
ing themselves with terrifying their
newly captured positions.
1T is possible" says the Chronicle
that the Germans will not try to break
through the new Russian lines, which
gives them in turn short and easy
line to defend. Then they can prompt

TO SEE CONFLICT ENDED

July 3D.-The entire press of Milan,

1t shows the Pontiffs ardent desire to
see the conflict ended.

marks that any Intervention In favor
OF peace will find an insurmounta BILE
obstacle. namely. that the conflict can
not end except with n victory for the
entente allies, the conflict for them be-
ing defensive war inspired by pure
ideals of liberty and Justice Thus the
condemnation Of the Pope. says the
newspaper strikes at those who, for
ambition and desire for predomin-
ance, unclaimed war
The Secolo goes further, stating that
peace is impossible. because it would be
advantageous only for Germany, oc-
cupying Belgium, part of France and
Russian Poland; while every day
which passes wears out Gcrmany's
forces, augments the resources Of the
allies and renders the intervention of
the Balkan states more probable. The
newspaper continues:
1T is useless to speak of rights and
Just aspirations, as the Germans do
not understand. They know only the
arguments Of force. with which they
must themselves be thrown back with
