RUSS CRUISERS TO BE INTERNED The Damaged Russian Ships Which Ar- rived at Manila Will Be - Dismantled ‘Washington, June5.—After a con- fereace with the president today, Secretary Morton announced that the Russian cruisers Aurora, Oleg and Jemtchug, which arrived at Manila last week, will be interned at Manila. Secretary Morton said that the orders for internment will go forward to .Ad- miral Tfain at once. WARMBAD HAS FALLEN. London, Juoe 5—A dispatch to the! news agency from Capetown says that' native voports received in official quarters are the eifect that Warmbad, the German headquarters in southwest | Africa, bas fallen, and that the garri- son has perished. I Manila, June 5.—Rear Admiral En- quist, who was commander of the heavy cruiser squadron of the Russian fleet, arrived here at 9 o'clock p. &. on board his flagship, the protected cruiser Aurora, accompanied by the protected cruisers Oleg and Jemtchug. All the vessels were more or less dam- aged and there were many wounded men on board. Rear Admiral Train, BEAR ADMIRAL ENQUIST. on board his flagship, the battleship Ohio, with the Wisconsin, Oregon, Ral- eigh and Cincinnati, was outside Cor- regidor island maneuvering when the Aurora saluted with thirteen guns and the Ohio answered. Admiral Train and his squadron ac- companied the Russian vessels to Manila. LIKELY TO BE INTERNED. Disposition of Russian Warships In Manlia Harbor. ‘Washington, June 5.—The navy de- partment has received a cablegram from Vice Admiral Train, dated Ma- nila, stating that while cruising off Lingayen gulf during the morning he sighted three Russian vessels, the Au- rora, Oleg and Jemtchug, close in shore. He said he found many wound- ed on board and escorted the vessels to Manila. Admiral Train’s dispatch, was imme- diately sent to the White’House by Secretary Morton, where it was dis- cussed by the president and Secretary Taft. It is said at the state depart- ment that the Russian vessels will be treated precisely as were those which arrived in the Chinese ports during | the earlier stages of the war, namely, they will be allowed to remain twen- ty-four hours if undamaged and sea- worthy; otherwise they may make absolutely necessary repairs or, lastly, they may be interned until the end of the war. Jt is expected here that the latter course will be followed. Cnder the rules of war, it is said at { the navy department, Admiral Train’s duty is plain. He will first care for the wounded, taking them ashore if necessary, and will probably guarter the officers at the American naval hos- pital at Cavite and when the capacity of that institution is taxed the Philip- pine government probably will be called on to offer facilities for the wounded men. 3 AMMUNITION EXHAUSTED. Reason Given for Admiral Nebogatoff's Surrender. St. Petersburg, June 5—The state- ment that the ammunition on board Rear Admiral Nebogatoff’s ships was | exhausted when he surrendered was received with some relief, this being one of the conditions under which, according to the Russian naval regula- tions, a commander is allowed to sur- render, the other conditions being when the crew of a vessel is so de- pleted as to be unable to manage her | and work her guns and when the ship is burned to the water’s edge and about to sink. Nevertheless, most of the naval men continue to be of the opinion that the seacocks should have been opened and the ships sunk, Stories of mutiny on board the Rus- sian vessels coniinue to clrculate in ! the clubs and cafes, but the admiralty will not adiit that it has received any information tending to substantiate them., The officials admit, however, that some of the sailors mutinied off the coast of Madagascar and that a number of them were shot by Admiral Rojestvensky's orders. Fonolulu Japanese Celebrate. Honolulu, June 5.—The Japanese celebraled the victory at the naval battle in the Sea of Japan by a big torchlight and Japanese lantern pro- cession. Four thousand - Japanese turned out in the parade. GENERAL BOYNTON DEAD. Head of Chickamauga Park Commis- sion Passes Away. Atlantic City, N. J., June 5.—Gen- eral H. V. Boynton, president of the Chickamauga park commission, died here during the day. He suffered from a complication of diseases. Michigan Forest Fires. Menominee, Wis., June 5.—Forest fires are raging northwest of Esca- naba, near Northland, Mich., on the Escanaba and Lake Superior raiiroad. Much damage has been done. ROOSEVELT’'S ADVICE TO RUSSIA: THAT FURTHER FIGHTING WILL BE FUTILE. . St. Petersburg, June 5.—The cabled reports of President Roosevelt’s con- versation with Ambassador. Cassini at ‘Washington, implying that the presi- dent had practically tendered his good offices to Russia, created quite a sen- sation in diplomatic circles here. While the idea that the-president has taken such a step aroused surprise in- some quarters it was received with unconcealed satisfaction in the belief that it would hasten the decision of Emperor Nicholas, the European pow- ers being, it Is pointed out, no matter how ardently they desire the conclu- slon of peace, more or less embar- rassed. There is very good reason to believe, however, that the reports did not correctly state the president’s atti- tude. He had already made known to the emperor in-a personal message conveyed to him by Ambassador Meyer at his presentation audience his willingness and desire to promote the cause of peace and his conversation with Count Cassini is belleved to have been in the nature perhaps of a strong- er reiteration of his receptive attitude without in any sense being a formal tender of his good offices which might subject him to a rebuff. Count Cas- sini's report of the conversation has been cabled to Foreign Minister Lams- dorff, by whom it will be laid before the emperor. Practically the message has the moral support of all the great European powers, headed by Russia’s ally, France, which have conveyed in the most delicate manner possible an intimation of their convictions of the futility of a further continuance oi the struggle. TO BE USED AS HOSPITAL SHIP. Russian Cruiser at San Francisco Or- dered Released. New York, June 5.—A special dis- patch received here from San Fran: . cisco says the officials at Mare Island i navyyard have received from Washing- ton formal instructions to permit the Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena, now Interned at the yard, to proceed to Asiatic waters for use as a hospital ship. She will put to sea within a month and it is expected her first des- tination wlill be a Japanese port where wounded Russians can be taken “on board. The guns and munitions of war re- moved from the Lena when she ar- rived in San Francisco will not be re placed. GIVEN WARM WELCOME. Flancee of Crown Prince William En- ters Berlin. Berlin, June 65.—Duchess Cecilia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, who is to be married Tuesday to Crown Prince Frederick Witliam:of Prussia, made a triumphal entry into this city during the day. The streets and buildings were dec- | orated lavishly with flowers and the princess’ entire journey from the sta- tion to the palace was through frag- rant aisles of roses. A great military escort accompanied her, chief among which was a company of infantry commanded by her future husband, the crown prince, who marched on foot at | the head of his men. The emperor, in the full dress uni- form of the commander-in-chief of the German army, met the young lady at the train and escorted her to her car- | riage.

RYAL RAILROAD INTERESTS IRVOLVED HARRIMAN OBJECTED TO ‘GOULD SECURING SOCIETY’S FUNDS TO EXTEND LINES. New York, June great Northern Pacific corner of four years ago has there been so much ex- citement in financial circles as exists as a result of developments in the Equitable Life Assurance society’s af- fairs. A stirring contest for control had been expected, but the vehement debate in the directors” meeting, the bitter character of the defense made by James H. Hyde and the resigna- tlons of Messrs. Frick, Harriman and Bliss from the sgeiety’s directorate have created a situation wholly un- foreseen,and indicating a new align- ment of the fercq; in high finance, astonishing the géheral public. Ac- cording to the Herald Mr. Frick, in handing in his resignation, said he never again would sit as director in any corporation of which Mr. Hyde was also a director. The charge made by Mr. Hyde that an effort had been made by Mr. Harriman to take control of the society away from him was pointed to in connection with reports in circulation that one reason for at- tacking Mr. Hyde was that he was filendly with George J. Gould and that other interests desired to prevent Mr. Gould from obtaining any assistance from Equitable funds in extending his rallroad lines westward to the Pacific coast and eastward to thé Atlantic. According to these reports the Union Pacific and Pennsylyania railroad in- terests and Mr. Frick joined together to oppose Mr. Gould. ‘What Wall street.and the general public discussed with most interest was the question as to what is to be the next step taken. The selection of the new chairman of-the beard of di- rectors, who i8 to be mdmed by com- mittee within the-next few. days, is Awaited With Great Interest. ‘The promise is made that he is to be a man of national reputation for busi- ness ability and probity and to him is to be entrusted the task of enforcing economies and making such other changes as may be deemed necessary to correct the present business meth- ods of the society. It is expected that the chairman will be selected by the board at its meeting next Wednesday. Another point of absorbing interest was the plan to be pursued to take over Mr. Hyde's majority holding of stock, through which he has the power, at present, to elect all the directors of the society. Mr. Hyde acquiesced in the resolution that he be requested to divest himself of the control of his stock within three months on terms satisfactory to himself and the society. James W. Alexander and James H. Hyde, president and first vice presi dent of the Equitable, met during the day and, it is understood, decided to forget their differences and to act to- gether hereafter in Equitable affairs. The hasis of their agreement is said to have been that they would now at- tend to life insurance alone and keep ‘Wall street out of the affairs of-the society. The two men were in confer- ence with certain of their friends and advisers for over two hours. After the Hyde-Alexander confer- ence it was reported that they had agreed upon Robert T. Lincoln as the man best fitted to assume the chair- mauship of the board of directors. Confirmation of this report was not obtainable. CHANGE OF OFFICERS NEEDED. Recommendations Made by Equitable Life Investigators. New York, June 5.—Liberal extracts the Equitable Life Assurance society directors by the Frick investigating committee. The report consists of thirty-eight printed pages. Its prin- cipal points follow closely the outline forecasted several days ago and in closing the committee declared: “Excessive salaries, excessive com- missions, excessive expenses and su- perfluous offices should not be toler- ated. made and all the useful formal pre- cautlons employed to insure the loca- tion of the moral responsibility of the officers who are charged with the duty of making them. “The committee, haying pursued its investigation of the present manage- ment of the-society sufficiently far to conyince it that the personnel of the. management ~ should ' be radically changed and the methods of”conduet- Ing the business of the:society brought back to sound legal and ethical lines, Dbegs to be relieved from further duty.” In mentioning the particular execu~ ‘tives whom the committeemen be- lleved- should: be ;'eflred the re are published of the report made to | “Inyestments should be carefully: Plymouth, Eng.

Mr. Reid, his arrival here, was welcomed by the. mayor of Plymouth, the president of the commercial bodies and the cor- poration of the people of Plymouth, Who presented him with a handsomely ‘engrossed address expressing the hape that his official labors would promote and strengthen the good will which had so long existed between. the Unit- ed States and Great Britain. A delegation from the Southampton chamber of commerce also presented an address to Mr. Reid referring to his previous missions to England and his gervice under Lincoln, whose memory 1s highly honored here, and rejoicing at the knowledge that the relations between the United States and Great Britain were established on a firm and friendly basis. Tn the course of his reply to the ad- dress Mr. Reid said their welcome was received with peculiar pleasure and gratifude. It was the first word from the citizens of a mighty and friendly nation to the representative of another ‘mighty and friendly nation who came bringing only messages of “Warm re- gard and abiding good will. Passengers and Crew Escape. New Orleans, June 5—It was ascer- tained during the day that no. lives were lost in the wrecking of the steam- er H. M. Carter at Alexandria, La. The steamer struck a pier of a biiige and quickly began to sink. She was headed for shore, where the passen- gers and crew were landed safely. Letter to C. M. Bacon, Bemidji, Mian. Dear Sir: “It costs as much to put-on poor paiat as good’—a common saying and true—it costs much more to put-on poor paint; more gallons. Poor paint is barytes of paint and sand or paint and lime or paint and chalk or paint and ben- zine or paint and water; these are the usual cheats; Lhere are others. Tt takes more gallons of pamt/- and a cheat than of honest paint; and the honest cost of the labor of painting is so much 3 gallon one gallon costs as much as an- other, for labor. This is the way to reckon your costs for this yoar; but how about next year? Paint Devoe, aund next year costs nothing; year after next the same; the same for several years. Paint anything else, and your costs recur according to what !lned them all up against a wall and Minnesota Mines Moved 3,000,000 Tons- 2 of Ore During May. “Duluth, June 5—The ore shipments from Duluth and Two Harbors for thi month ‘of May reached record break- Ing figures.

Galveston, Tex., June 5—One of the most daring holdups on record was enacted at Douglas, the mecca of gam- blers since El Paso closed her 175 gamblinghouses. A lone bandit held up twenty men and scooped up about $4,000 from the bankers. Heavlly armed and masked the robber entered the Brunswick club while the games were in full blast, got a drop on the dealers and players, filled his sack with cash. A move from” one of the players caused the robber to shoot him through the hand. The bandit then shot out the lights, mounted his horse and, followed by a shower of bullets, fled for Mexico. A trail of blood shows that he is wound- ed. A posse of his victims are on his trail, but he has not been cnptured yet. Blown to Plecn by Dynamlte.

Other stocks which suffered were Philadelphia Rapid Transit com- pany and, Union Traction company, the companies which own the street rail- way lines. The former dropped to 26; a decline of 6 points within a week, and the latter to 58%, as against 62% a week ago. JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE. Loss of Life and Property Compara- tively Light.
