TroubIo at vIadivo.toek.-Quite

Trouble at VIadivostock.-Quite a
serious complication has developed at
vladivostock over Russian treatment
of an American captain and corporal,
according to a report OF Major-Gen-
eral William s. Graves. in command
there to Washington. Full details
have not been given out; but from
what has been published 1t appears
that the Russians took into custody
the two Americans. The captain cs-
capped by jumping on moving train
and the corporal was given n severe
flogging. The captain reported the in
cident to his superiors and the Cos
sack quarters were surrounded by. a
company OF Americans, who threaten
ed to fire unless an apology was forth
coming. The Russian commander ex-
planned that the Americans were so
dealt with because their Identification
was not sufficiently satisfactory; but
offered no apology. The Japanese
commander served notice on the
Americans that in case of hostilities
he would take sides with the Cossacks.
General Graves then took prompt
steps to get an apology from the Cos
sack commander and an explanation
from the Japanese. The Washington
officials are not disposed to talk but It
Is understood that they are somewhat
concerned over repeated unfriendly
acts Of the Japanese.

- Serious fighting between the races
commenced at Elaine. Phillips county,
Arkansas, last Wednesday and two
white men and seven negroes were
Killed during the day. The names OF
the white men are Clinton Lee and J.
A. Tappan. Another white man, w.
d. Adkins, was killed the night before.
Ira Proctor, white, and several negroes
are known to have been wounded. The
trouble is said to have had it's origin
in connection with alleged plans of
the negroes of the southern portion OF
Phillips county to rise against the
whites. According to- the Associated
Press story, Deputy Sheriff Pratt ac-
companied by Adkins and negro
trusty from the jail went out to ar
rest an alleged bootlegger named
Glen who was reported to be on a
rampage and to have threatened to
kill his family. The car stopped op.
posite negro church at Hoopsput 10
fix q puncture. and was fired on from
the church. Adkins was killed, Pratt
was wounded and the negro got away
and made, report to Sheriff Kitchens,
who was i'll at Helena. The sheriff
got out of bed, summoned posses and
went to the village of Elaine, where q
stiff battle soon developed in the
streets. Women and children Of
Elaine were loaded on O gondola and
taken out OF the town to Helena. The
engineer said that the car was fired
on by negroes. It is reported that the
trouble had been brewing for some
time, it having been stirred up by
white men who were distributing in
cendiary literature among the negroes.
Reports had it that the negroes were
holding nightly meetings and were
accommodating arms. The dispatches
say that there were from 1000 to $500
negroes under arms and in the fight
ing at Elaine, the negroes largely
outnumbered the whites. Five hun
dred Federal troops from Camp Pike
reached the scene early yesterday
morning. and as they were armed with
machine guns as we'll as rifles it was
thought that they would soon have
control of the situation.
