The troops will land at or near Chemulpo. The foundgtion for this report is exceptionally strong. Four companies of Russian troops have left Port Arthur for Yongampho and points along the Yalu River. The Russian commander at Vladivostok requested the Japanese authorities to remove all Japanese subjects immediately. These measures, in conjunction with the dispatch of troops from Port Arthur to Seoul, have been taken while the Russian central Government is still negotiating with Japan. | TO-DAY WILL DECIDE THE QUESTION OF PEACE OR WAR, IS THE BELIEF OF THE DIPLOMATS IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, Feb. 4—“War or peace will come with to-morrow.” This is the general opinion in the diplomatic c8rps. Both at the Russian embassy and at the Japanese legation the situation in the Far East is-described as grave. 3 It is stated at the Russian embassy that the St. Petersburg Government has made a détermined and ear- nest effort for peace, even going so far as to offer magnanimous concessions in Korea. The question of Man- churia Russia is unwilling to discuss, taking the ground that this is a subject for negotiations between St. Pe- tersburg and Peking and not between St. Petersburg and Tokio. In the opinion of the Russian Government Japan’s legitimate interests in Manchuria do not exceed those of the Uniteéd States and Great Britain or of the other powers signatory to the peace protocol of 1900. For this reason Russia has declared her unwillingness to discriminate among the powers and enter into a special treaty with Japan. > In the event of war it may be expected that the Russian Government will address the powers, setting forth her position and briefly reviewing the vagious steps in the negotiations. It is expected by Russia that a \S\ar manifesto will be immediately followed here by an official declaration of neutrality on the part of the United tates. JAPANESE SOLDIERS IN THE ATTIRE OF CIVILIANS ARE LANDING BY THOUSANDS ON THE COAST OF KOREA HONGKONG, Feb. 4._—Trust)vurlhy advices from Japan state that the Japanese are landing many sol- diers in Korea in civilian attire. It is reported that the Chinese Minister in_ Japan has advised Peking that 8000 Japanese troops have already been dispatched to Korea. It is reported that the Chinese Government intends to send twenty regiments to Shanhaikwan for the protection of the railway, but the fear is expressed that Russia may refuse to permit this and that thus a rup- Liver or Bladder Trouble P To Prove What SWAMP-ROOT, the Great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy, Will Do for YOU, All Our Readers | he in > back is un-| bie evidence of kidney trouble ure’s timely warning to show t the track of health is not clear. er signals are unheeded are sure to follow: which is the y trouble, may stcal upon ¢ ach The mild and of the world-f the ¢xtraordinary effect mous kidney and biadder Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. is ized.

He covered a distance of 1057 miles on | snowshoes, assisted by a dog team. Eight thousand people will' go into the new White River diggings this sea- son. The White Pass people believe fully 10,0860 wili come in and are pre- paring for that number. : It is -cer- tain to be a big camp, which will largely increase the gold output. The election of John Timmons to the Council has been protested on the claim of disqualification, owing to his conviction at Juneau in 1895 for shoot- ing a man with intent to kill. Tim- mons had served some years in San '’ Quentin. He was pardoned before the expiration of his term. His supporters therefore claim he is not disqualified, although the act says any person who *as been convicted of a criminal of- yense is not qualified. Timmons claims the pardon crosses the disqualification off his record.” " - —_— e —— ture between China and Russia may be caused. RUSSIAN ¥FLEET OFF KOREA. Muscovite Army Is Moving Southward From Mukden. | LONDON, Feb. 5.—The news that KRussia has already dispatched her re- ply to Japan has not yet reached the| | English newspapers. The most pessi- | mistic views are taken of the situation. | Reports are current that prominent commercial houses having relations with Japan have received private dis- | patches intimating the belief that a {rupture in relations between Russia | and Japan is imminent, but nothing of | an official character is obtainable, the | alarmist views of this morning being based solely upon the reports of yes- |terday of the sailing of the Russian | fleet from Port Arthur and the rumored | | Japanese move upon Korea, Which are | repeated from different points in the | Far East. | The correspondent of the Daily Mail |at Chefu says a Russian fleet, com- Iprisinx all the battleships excepting | the Sebastopol and six cruisers and {two destroyers, is cruising along the | coast of the peninsula. 1 The Seoul correspondent of the Daily ! Mail says in a dispatch that a Russian army ig moving south from Mukden, | while the correspondent of the saie paper at Port Arthur says that both Russia and Japan have placed an em- bargo upon coal shipments A telegram received here from Copen- hagen declares that eighteen foreign steamships have just been chartered by Russia to convey war material from Odessa and Libau to the Far East. No confirmation of the alarming war reports current here can be obtained at the Japanese legation and a legation official professes ignorance of any new decision on the part of the Japanese Ggvernment or fresh departures in the negotiations. The official admits, how- that the legation has received official confirmation ,of the reports of greatly increased Russian naval and military activity in, Manchuria. English correspondents in St. Pet- ersburg refer to an exceptional honor which has been accorded the Ameri- can press. The correspondent of the Times in St. Petersburg, who consid- ers war inevitable, declares that the Czar's hesitation has been overcome | and that Russia will make no conces- | sion. He sa “Up to the present time not a line of information, or apparently a word of inspiration, has been given the Russian press on these- serious nego- tiations, although the American press has been honored by the granting of an audience by the Czar to the repre- sentative of a trans-Atlantic news | pgency.” | + | POLICE OF NICE MAKE | A SERIOUS BLUNDER . Arrest an American Named Hurt, Mistaking Him for Man Wanted by Parisian Authorities. PARIS, Feb. 4.—Inquiry concerning the detention of Hurt and Ireland, { two Americans, at Nice, has brought out the following facts: g On January 26 the police of Nice arrested Hurt, considering him to be ! a man named Hurst, who was wanted by the Paris police. Ireland, on | hearing of this, went to identify Hurt, when the former was also held as an accomplice. The United States con- sular office demanded proofs of | Hurt's identity. The authorities re- plied that two days would be required for this. | Hurt and Ireland were brought be- fore the examining magistrate at Nice | to-day, and their examination, which | was conducted in the presence of the consular lawver, resulted in establish- ing the fact that there were no specific charges against them, and that their original detention was due to the au- thorities having mistaken Hurt for the man Hurst. The United States consulate imme- | diately urged the prefectorial officials to liberate them. B e —— Ends e in a'Barber Shop. . MONTEREY, Feb. 4.—Chris Mas- | sey, a carpenter, aged about 30 years, committed suicide in a barber shop here about 8 o'clock this evening. Massey had just seated himself in the barber's chair and as the barber turn- ed to receive money froh a customer | he reached forward, seized a razor | from the shelf in front of him and drew it quickly across his throat, making a gash almost from ear to ear. Death ensued within a few min- | utes. g —_————————— Young Miner Killed by Explosion. GRASS VALLEY, Feb. 4.—W. H. Bawden of this city received news to- day that his son, Joseph, met with a terrible death in the Fremont mine at Amador City this morning. Ac- cording to the information the body WAR SEEMS A CERTAINTY. Gloomny Advices Received by the Washington State Department. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4—The State Department has received gloomy ad- vices from various points touching the Russo-Japanese situation. One of the most significant confirms the press dis- patch from Tokio respecting the noti- fication to Japanese at Vladivostok to prepare to leave the town, a measure which is rarely resorted to except when war is regarded as an absolute cer- tainty. Confirmation also comes of the re- ported disappearance of the Russian fleet from Port Aythur. The destina- tion of the fleet is unknown, but the surmise is that the fleet has gone to Vladivostok. An unconfirmed rumor that six regi- ments of Russian troops have departed from Newchwang for Korea is afloat. It is said that, in anticipation of hos- tilities, the Japanese Government has for months maintained a secret service system throughout Manchuria and that Japanese spies are now in position to sever the Russians in Manchuria from their base in case of war by destroy- ing every culvert and bridge on the Manchurian Railway. S IMMENSE CHINESE ARMY. Enlistment of Five Hundred Thousand Recruits Is Ordered. LONDON, Feb. 4.—It has been re- peatedly intimated by the authorities in Peking, according to the London Globe's Shanghai correspondent, that in the event of China abandoning Manchuria the powers would be com- pelled to safeguard their respective interests in the femaining provinces, “regardless of China's pseudo sover- eignty.” The revolutionists, continues the correspondent, promise to raise a re- voit in Kwangtung in-the middle of February and to expel the Manchus in the event of Manchuria being abandoned. The Dowager Empress is said to be wavering between Russian offers of protection and promises of other powers to support China against aggression, but the predominant party, it is asserted, is preparing to &trenu- ously resist Russia and has ordered the enlistment of a half million new troops and the massing of regiments in the north. The court, in the mean- while, it is added, continues its prep- arations for flight to Sianfu. CE IS GONE. HOPE OF g Feeling in Tokio That Nothing Can Avert Hostilities. LONDON, Feb. 4.—A dispatch to Reutér’s Telegram Company from To- kio says: ‘“The general impression here is that all hope of peace is gone. The elder statesmen had a conference at which the Emperor was present. It is believed a weighty decision was reached.” A dispatch to the Central News Agency from Seoul, Korea, says that ahout 6000 Russian troops have sailed from Port Arthur and will endeavor to land at Chemulpo, the port of Seoul, to-morrow. e MASSACRES ARE FEARED. Foreigners in the Empire of Korea Are in Grave Peril. . ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 4.—Ad- vices received here from Korea say that the feeling of panic is general there and that depression prevails in all the seaports, where massacres of foreigners are feared. KBuropeans are preparing to send their families to Shanghai. Every steamer from Jap= an conveys to Korea many Japanese officers and soldiers in disguise and their presence in such numbers is re- garded by the Rusians as being a sec- ret occupation of Xorea. Sixty doctors nave left St. Peters- burg during the last few days for Harbin, Manchuria. —_——— ‘World's Fair Postage Stamps. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—An order for the first of the new Louisiana’ Purchase Exposition postage stamps has been sent to the Bureau of En- graving and Printing. It calls for the printing of 90,000,000 of the one-cent stamps, bearing the portrait of Rob- ert L. Livingstone; 225,000,000 of the two-cent stamps, bearing the portrait of Thomas Jefferson; 7,500,000 of the three-cent, with Monroe’s portrait: 9,500,000 of the five-cent, with Mc- Kinley's portrait, and 6,500,000 of the .10-cent stamps, with a miniature map ‘of ‘the United States, showing the.ter- ritory acquired by the Louisiana pur- chase. —_—— To Cure a Cold in One Day. WARNS JAPANESE TO LEAVE. Commander of Vladivostok Garrison Intimates War Is at Hand. TOKIO, Feb. 4.—Premier Katsura anq his associates in the Cabinet gave a dinner to-day to eighteen represen- tative peers and communicated to them the nature and progress of the dip- lomatic negotiations with Russia. The Marquis Ito had a private audience with the Emperor, at which the situa- tion was discussed. These and other | incidents clearly indicate the serious- ness of the situation. It is generally believed that Russia is massing troops north of the Yalu River, s0 as to be prepared to resist a possible invasion by the Japanese. The Cabinet, the Elder Statesmen and | commanders of the army and navy are in almost constant conference or com- ! universal BOTS IN BLUE EVACUATE CUBA Cabanas Fortress and Board the Army Transport Sumner MR PALMA RETURNS e —— Presidént of Republic Pays Graceful Compliments to the Government of United States — i HAVANA, Feb. 5.—The last vestige of the American occupation of Cuba disappeared this afternoon when the | American flag was Jowered from the Cabanas fortress and the last battalion | of American soidiers marched to the| pier and boarded the United States| army transport Sumner, which will sail to-morrow for Florida.

ITTABENA, Miss, Feb. 4—A posse has captured one negro who is charged °with complicity in the killing yester- day of James Eastland, a prominent in the evacuation of Cabanas. 1 President Palma and the members | of his Cabinet, General Rodriguez, com- | mander of the Rural Guards; United | States Minister Squiers and the mem- bers of the legation staff witnessed the ceremony of hauling down the Ameri- can flag and hoisting the Cuban flag with the usual salutes. President Palma addressed Minister | Squiers and Major Brown, commander | of the American troops, saying: We_are confronted by one of the most ex- | traordinary facts recorded in the annals of | history—the departure from our shores of the last troops the United States had kept in Cuba after helping us to securs our independence and the blessings of free- dom. They could stay longer, under some | pretext, or an unjust demand could be im- posed upon us; but on the contrary the Gov- ernment of the United States, identified as it | is with the libera! spirit and noble chi cter of the American people, willingly proves its disinterestedness” and sincerity of the aid it rendered ue by taking these men away and showing us at the same time that we have, as an independent people, the confidence of one of the most powerful natfons on earth. | This act of the United States in withdraw- ing its troops from Cuban territory reflects upon it everlasting glory and makes us proud | of ourselves, for it means that nobody @oubts | our ability to govern ourselves or to main- tain peace and order and guarantee the rights | of all the inhabitants of this fsland: This | new consideration shown us, together with the | services we have previously recefved at their hands, will bind the ban people to the American people sincere gratitude. Major Brown replied to President | Palma and thanked him for his kind- | forever in a trong tle of | munication. There is, however, no in-| dication of the course they intend to| pursue. The belief is prevalent that| Russia is seeking to provoke Japan to | take the initiative. The first break in the reticence nt“ the Japanese Government was the pub- | lication to-day of four official dispatches from Manchuria and Siberia, which are | significant as showing the trend of | events. | The Japanese commercial agent at| Viadivostok was notifled on Wednes- | day by the commander of the Russian More Than a Hundred Persons in | gregatio garrison that he might at any time, m| accordance with.orders from St. Peters- burg, have to proclaim a state of siege. Consequently he desired the agent to| make preparations for the eventual de- : parture of Japanese residents. Should any wish to remain they will be ordered to repair to Habarovsk. | Japanese official reports confirm the news of marked military activity in| Manchuria. Houses have been pre- | pared at Liaoytang, Haicheng, Kai- chow and other places for the accom- | modation of Russian soldiers. Carts have been requisitioned to transport | ammunition and stores. | Troops are steadily moving in the| direction of the Yalu and the Chinese residents of Yingchou are preparing for flight. The Government has been informed that the Russian fleet has left Port| Arthur. Its destination is not known. | R T Monterey Ordered to Canton. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The Navy Department announced to-day that the monitor Monterey has left Hong- kong for Canton. It is believed here that the departure of the Monterey for that place may have been influ- enced by the report of unrest there. e 4 VON BALLESTREM GIVES BANQUET TO EMPEROR | Distinguished Guests of the German Court Attend the Function in Full Uniform.
