CARGO SHIP FROM
NEWPORT NEWS SUNK

Newport News Va, Sept 5.--A
cable received at the office of the
United states Shipping Company this
morning announced the sinking Of the
Donaldson liner Kelvinia, while the
vessel was enroute from Monmouth
to Glasgow. The cable states that no
casualties resulted, but does not say
in what manner the vessel was de-
stroyed
1t is taken for granted that a sub
marine did the work. as the pres
@nce of submarines has been re-
ported IN the vicinity of the spot where
the Kelvlnia was sent down.
The Kelvinia. In command Of Cap
tain Meikle. steamed from Newport
News on August II, with horses for
Avonmouth and general cargo for
Glasgow. She carried a complement
of forty-three men. including sixteen
chinese, and twenty-nine cattlemen,
who were signed on in this port The
cattlemen, with but two exceptions,
were Americans
The kelvinia is the second OF the
Donaldson liners that has been sunk
within the last few months, tho
Kastalia meeting like fate. AT the
time Of the Kastala's destruction,
however. she had been sold to another
arm and renamed Yonne
The horses, which made MP a part
OF the Kelvinia's cargo, were landed
safely at Monmouth, but when she
went down she yet had aboard n gem
eral cargo consigned to Glasgow

RUSSIA AND JAPAN
IN SECRET COMPACT

Washington. Sept. 5-The State
Department has Instituted an Inquiry
in Picking. Toxic and Petrograd to dis
cover the secret provisions in the
Russo-Japanese treaty Of alliance.
The administration has learned the
nature Of one OF the secret provts-
ions. which is contradictory OF the
official assurances from the japanese
foreign Office that the alliance does
not menace the commerce OF the
United States with China
This provision It was declared to-
day. divides between Japan and Rus
sta the railroads and traffic of the
eastern and central parts OF China, in
Guiding Outer Mongolia. now only a
protectorate. and Inner Mongolia. Evil
darce confirmatory Of the designs Of
Russia and Japan was said to be the
secret deal between those powers
whereby Japan obtained from Russia
the latters railroad interests in
Manchuria north TO the Snngary
River. Japan already controlled the
South Nanchurian lines from the sea
Ito KwanRtse. Russia's compensation
was munitions of war and freedom to
pursue her aggressive policies in
outer Mongolia
This deal gives Japan absolute con-
troll Of the greatest railroad system in
Manohuria, with which the United
States deals principally It also is
Understood TO make Inner MONGOLIA
virtually a protectoriate of Japan.
