St. Petersburg, July 6.—The sus- tained pressure of General Hasegawa’s army across the Tumen river toward Russian territory s recognized in goy- ernment circles as Japan’s imnediate step to force Russia to make peace. Hasegawa’s army is now only thirty-- three miles from the frontier. Within ten days, it is fully expected, 160,000 Japanese troops will be established in the villages of the Russian Ussuri re- glon, which has never yet had an en- emy within its boundaries. It is realized by the general staff that General Hasegawa intends to keep General Kasbeck enclosed in Vladivos- tok. He will thereby prevent a force from coming thence to defend Ussuri. The natives of the terriiory cannot defend themsolves, as the whole male native popuiation already is in active service in the army. Thus General Hasegawa can overrun the whole ter- ritory from the Gulf of Peter the Great to the Amur river. General Linevitch cannot prevent this, for his 400,000 men are confined by Marshal Oyama’s £00,000 and any attempt on his. part to relieve General Kasbeck could only result as did Marshal McMahon's at- tempt to relieve Metz in 1870. General Linevitch can retire from Harbin only to the Transbaikal region. Such a retreat and the surrender of Harbin to the Japanese would be equiy- nlent to offering them the whole terri- tory from Harbin to the Sea of Japan. It is recognized that the whole strategic position of the Japanese-will force Ceneral Linevitch to defend Har- bin at any cost and that he must ac- cept a general engagement. GOSSACKS FIRE ON STRIKERS SEVERAL CASUALTIES IN RANKS OF WORKMEN ON STREETS OF ST. PETERSBURG. St. Petersburg, July 6.—Cossacks fired on the Putiloff works strikers during the morning. The trouble was started by the arrest of a youth who was entering the works. The police- men who took him into custody sus- pected the young man of having dy- namite in his possession. The latter, | on being made a prisoner, drew a re- volver and killed the policeman. The strikers quickly congregated on the Peterhoff read and Cossacks were or- dered to disperse them. The soldiers charged, using their whips, and then i fired a volley, causing several casual- i ties among the strikers. The excite ment in the district is intense. DISGUSTINGLY INCOMPETENT.

KNIAZ POTEMKINE AT THEODOSIA MUTINEERS PUT INTO CRIMEAN PORT AND ASK FOR COAL AND. PROVISIONS. St. Petersburg, July 6.—The battle- ship Kniaz Potemkine has arrived at Theodosia, a port on the eastern shore of the Crimena peninsula, without the torpedo boat. It is believed the battle- ship took the crew of the torpedo boat on board and abandonéd or sank her while on ‘the way to Theodosia. The torpedo boat destroyer Smetilvy, which went in pursuit of the Kniaz Potem- kine, evidently failed to overtake her as she has not been reported. All idea of trying to sink the Kniaz Po- temkine has now been abandoned by the admiralty, as a report from the authorities of Theodosia shows there are dissensions among the mutineers, & portion of the crew favoring surren- dering. Fighting is believed to have occurred on board the battleship dur- ing the voyage. This is supported by the demand for a doctor. The ship is short of provisions and .coal and the admiralty believes her career will soon be ended. The ringleaders of the mu- tiny, however, realizing that they have put their heads in the noose and that they have nothing to lose, have de- manded coal and provisions at Theo- dosia under the penalty of bombarding the town. They are trying to make for Poti, Transcaucasia, where they may get the support of the revolution- ists, Batoum, which is fortified, being too dangerous a haven. In the absence of s\mpur(ing war- ships it is doubtful whether the au- thorities of Theodosia dare to resist the demands of the mutineers. All the foreign shipping in the Black sea has been warned against the Kniaz Potemkine, which, in view of the des- perate situation of her crew, will prob- ably not hesitate to hoist the skull and crosshones. Rear Admiral Kruger’s ignoble flight in the face of the mutineers is the subject of sardonic pleasure in some quarters. The Nasha Shisn roundly denounces . the stupidity of the gov- ernment for attempting to deceive the people with assurances that all is quiet and in the end being obliged to admit the whole disgraceful story. STANDARD OF REBELLION |RED FLAG OF REVOLT RAISED BY CREW OF THE KNIAZ POTEMKINE. Theodosia, Crimea, July 6.—The mu- tineers of fhe Kniaz Potemkine dur- ing the day formally raised the stand- ard of rebellion and issued the fol- lowing declaration: “The crew of the Kniaz Potemkine notifies the foreign powers that the decisive struggle has begun against the Russian government. We con- sider it to be our duty to declare that we guarantec the complete inviolabil- ity of foreign ships navigating the Black sea, as well as the inviolability of foreign ports.” MATTER OF PRIDE. Russia’s Reason for Not Asking for an Armistice. St. Petersburg, July 6.—The situa- tlon regarding the armistice is as fol- lows: Russia has formally signified to President Roosevelt her desire for a lasting peace not only by the appoint- ment of plenipotentiaries who will be accompanied by eminent experts fully empowered to conclude a treaty sub- ject only to the ratification of the res- pective governments but as a final step has indicated her readiness to suspend hostilities. She has avoided formally asking for an armistice as a matter of pride, but under the circum- stances Russia could hardly go further than she has. Japan, so far as known, has not yet indicated her attitude, or, if she has, Russia has not yet been so informed. In diplomatic circles the most earnést hope is expressed that Japan will consent both for the sake of avoiding further bloodshed in Man- churia and perhaps in order to prevent a catastrophe in Russia which may shake the Romanoif throne and appall the world by its horrors. ARRIVES _AT T_H EODOSIA. Battleship Kniaz Potemkine Puts Into Crimean Port. Theodosia, July 6.—The Russian bat: tleship Kniaz Potemkine bhas arrived IN LAKE VIEW CEMETERY AT CLEVELAND. +BOWED HEADS AT THE OPEN GRAVE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT AMONG THE MOURNERS IN : ATTENDANCE.: Cleveland, July 6.—At almost ex- Actly noon the body of John Hay was laid to rest in Lake View cemetery. Around the open grave at the last mo- ment stood with bowed heads the pres- ident and vice president of the United States, memgers and ex-members of the present cabinet and men who had In former years served with the dead secretary in the official family of Pres- ident McKinley. There were many others who willingly would have paid a tribute of honor and respect to Mr. Hay, but it was the wish of his family that the funeral should be conducted for John Hay—the man they knew and loved in private life, and not for the brilliant and forceful premier whose name is honored wherever clean and successful statesmanship is esteemed amorg men. The assemblage at his funeral and around his grave was, therefore, small. The services were held in the cem- etery chapel and were simple in the extreme. A hymn, Tennyson's “Cross- ing the Bar,” was rendered by a male quartette, a passage of the Scriptures was read by Rev. H. C. Hayden, pas- tor emeritus of the Old Stone church. This was followed, by a second hymn, “For All the Saints Who From' Their Labors Rest,” from the quartette, and a brief prayer by Dr. Hayden brought the exercises to a close. The casket was then borne to the hearse, the members of the funeral party entered their carriages and the cortege passed up the hill toward the final resting place of the dead dlplomat TRIBUTE T THE DEAD. Mzmonal Services at Secretary Hay's Washington Church. ‘Washington, July 6—A memorial service in tribute to the late Secretary of State John Hay was held at the Church of the Covenant at the same hour the funeral services were being conducted at Cleveland. Practically all of official Washington was pres- ent and the members of the diplomatic corps who were in the clty attended ifi-a body. The chancel of the church and the pew always occupied by Sec- retary Hay and his family were draped in mourning and a large number of floral offerings surrounded the pulpit. After the choir had sung “Lead, Kindly Light,” and other hymns that had been dear to the deceased Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin, the secretary’s pag- tor, made a brief address in eulogy of the statesman, paying him the compli- ment of saying that “rarely has there been a day of such world-mourning as this.” He declared that the example set by Mr. Hay had elevated the stand- ard of the diplomatic relations of the world from evasiveness and falsehood to truthfulness, directness and honest courtesy and that so firmly had the new order been fixed there could be no return to methods of the past. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY. Twenty-second International Conven- tion Opens at Baltimore. Baitimore, July 6.—All the incoming railway trains during the day brought thousands of additional delegates and visitors to the twenty-second interna- tional convention of the Christian En- deavor society, every state in the Un- ion, Canada and, many foreign coun- tries being represented. Preceding the formal opening “of the convention late in the afternoon there was held a business meeting of the United Soclety of Christian Endeavor (corporated), at which officers and trustees’ for the ensuing year were elected. All the old officere were again chosen, as follows: President, Rev. Dr. Francis E. Clark; general secretary, Von Ogden Vogt; treasurer, William Shaw; publishing agent, George B. Graft. President Clark was not present and a letter expressing his regret was sub- itted. It was announced that Rev. Dr. Smith Baker of Portland, Me., will pre- side at the sessi: the convention.
