SUMMARY OF THE WAR NEWS CONTAINED IN THE CALL’S ADVICES ,e ‘A Japanese force has landed at Possiet Bay and marched inland toward Kirin. The Russian Government bureau is said to have left Viadivostol gone to Khabagovsk. The Japanese invasion of Northern Manchuria is intended as.a flank movement to cut off Russia’s base of supplies. Japanese armies are gathering rapidly in Northern Korea, while a strong Russian force is being concentrated in that region, and severe fighting is expected. A tremendous cannonade from the Russian land batteries and warships was concenfrated on the Japanese vessels that sought to block the channel at Port Ar- Following the futile attempt to block the channel, the Japanese fleet is reported to have renewed the bombardment of Port Arthur. Official advices from V roy Alexieff's chief of staff and cablegrams from other sources report that the attack was brilliantly repulsed. Port Arthur refugees arriving at Chefu declare that the Russians sank several of the attacking warships, but there is no official confirmation of their statements. Relations between the United States and Russia are strained. Russians have begun a boycott of American goods, and our trade has already suffered to such an extent that the American commercial houses in Russia have called the matter to the attention of United States Consuls. News dispatches from British sources charge the Russians with having massacred Chinese natives, including women, and with having murdered Japanese | Previous accusations of the same nature were proved groundless. Two immense shipments of 'beef from San Pranvisco for the Rursian army have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. The local firm having the contract for the cupplies has canceled a third skipment after the bee was loaded aboard a steamship.

Standard sends in a report from a native source that the Rus- sians have burned a large village near the Sungari River and massacred the inhabitants, including the women, in revenge for an attempt to wreck the Sungari bridge. 1 —The Director General of Railroads re- ports that 100 Russian infantrymen, an officer, a gun and a | large supply of ammunition are at Yaoyangho, and that 200 Russian cavalrymen and two guns have arrived at Luilichang. These towns are both on the west side of the Liao River. Director General reports that the Manchurian Railroad is guard- ed by detachments of Cossacks of thirty men each, who occupy high watch towers at intervals of a mile. PEKING, Feb. The force landed at Possiet Bay flanks the main Russian army on the Yalu, threatens Viadivostok and is in a position to dash for Kirin and Har- communications and isolating the Russian troops in Man- = | bin, cutting all churia from their base of supplies. Colonel Oka of the Japanese general staff, in a recent interview with The Call correspondent 4n New York, declared that the dash for Harbin and Northern Manchuria would be one of the first moves of the campaign. sald the colonel, “is the key to the strategic situation. sia, with her troops scattered all over Manchuria, with big garrisons at Port Arthur, Mukden, Newchwang and Vladivostok, would, We think that by a great effort and much self-sacrifice on the part of our troops, a rush upon Harbin, with its im- mense stores of ammunition, forage and provisions, would be a success. “Once in occupation, we should hold the line at a vital point. south would be Port Arthur and Dalny, cut off from their lines of commu- Both places would be at the risk of assault by the Japanese navy “Harbin,” suffer by her decentralization. nication. outside and the Japanese army on the land side. rison would have to come out and fight in the open.” Kirin is some 200 miles from Hunchun, Northern Manchuria in February is no pleasant mometer rarely goes above zero during the winter in those latitudes. possible the Japanese movement is intended to flank the Russian position on the Yalu.

Patti will continue her tour of concerts in this country despite attachment proceed- ings and the giving up of her concert in Philadelphia, according to Robert Grau, who is arranging for her appear- ance Monday evening at the Audito- rium. “Mme. Patti and her company will be said Grau. “She will sing here Monday, at Indianapolis Wednesday and at Louisville Friday of next week. More than that, I am to arrange for the return of the prima donna to San Francisco. Mr. Hegner, the ’cellist, sued the company for $25,- 000 damages after he was discharged in San Francisco. The Philadelphia con- cert was given up because in that way the money paid for tickets still be- longed to the public and could not be attached. It is nonsense to say that Mme. Patti has decided to give up her tour on account of this incident. It was an unfortunate affair, but we do not look for further trouble.” ¢ —————— LAPSING OF ISLE OF PINES TREATY DUE TO OVERSIGHT Time Limit for Ratification of Con- vention Expires Before Ofiicials Realize Long Delay. HAVANA, Feb. 25.—The lapsing of the Isle of Pines treaty on account of its not being ratified within the time limit is regarded herey to be mainiy due to the fact that the State Depart- ment at Washington did not call at- tention to the matter. It would also appear, however, that the Cuban Stai» Department failed to remember this time limit. The treaty was signed in Havana, July 2, 1903, and was ratified by the Cuban Senate on July 16, since when it has been pending in the United States Senate. The last condition of the treaty was to the effect that the ratification should be exchanged in ‘Washington within seven months of the date-of signing. Persons interested in securing Amer- ican sovereignty for the Isle of Pines are jubilant over the lapse, considering it to be a setback which gives promis> of the defeat of the proposition that the island remains under Cuban sov- ereignty. ——— To Recruit Regiment of Jews. NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—Leopold Moss of Chicago, who is in this city, has announced his intention of re- cruiting here a-regiment of Hebrews for the Japanese army. Moss was a colonel on the staff of the late Gov- ernor Altgeld of Illinois and served as a captain in the war with Spain. Of- ficials of the Japanese Government here have repeatedly stated the coun- try’s laws do not permit the service of aliens, so that Colonel Moss' regiment is not likely to reach the front. —_———— CHICAGO, Feb. 25.—According to officers of the Employes’ Union, 1000 employes of whole- grocery houses in Chicago have been in- there will be a 10 per cent reduction In wages CREET TROOPS WITH FISILLADE Government Forces Attack| San Pedro de Macoris, but Are Repulsed by Insurgents s B d TOWN IS BO)IBARDEDE gl | Rebels Return Fire of the Presidente and Cause Her to Leave for San Domingo RN SAN DOMINGO, Monday, Feb. 22.— Government forces attacked San Pedro de Macoris last Saturday. They went in small boats with the intention of landing, but were received with a fu- sillade from the insurgents which re- |* sulted in many being killed or wounded. The gunboat Presidente then bom- barded the town and inflicted much damage. The attack and the bombardment were renewed on Sunday. The rebels fired on the Presidente and damaged her about the water line and obliged the gunbcat to leave and return here. The Government ‘gunboat Independen- cia arrived here this morning.

BAKER CITY, Or.,, Feb. 25.—A mysterious poisoning case is reported from Pleasant Valley. Engineer Legg, who runs an engine on the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Railroad, detected a peculiar taste in his tea last night, and, supecting the tea was poisoned, he put some of the tea in milk and gave it to a dog.

After loading about a million pounds of mess beef ahoard the Pacific Mail steamship China, scheduled to start for the Orient to-day, Getz Bros., pro- vision exporters of this city, changed their mind last evening and ordered the meat returned to the dock. The sel's departure until 1 o'clock to-mor- row afterncon, as the barrels contain- ing the beef are stowed deep in various parts of the hold. It was the capture of two previous consignowénts of the same kind of | freight by the Japanese Government that caused the consignors to alter | their plans. The beef is the third and last shipment intended for consump- tion by the Russian troops in the Orient. The first one was seized aboard the Coptic at Nagasaki, and the second one met a similar fate aboard the Ko- rea. So, after considering the chances of getting the third one through aboard the China, the consignors de- clded that they were not worth taking, as the Japanese naval authorities evi- dently were cognizant of the contract when it was effected and of how and beef to its destination. Louis Getz last evening said that he was not prepared to reveal his firm's plans with regard to the meat rez-alledl from the China. “The TPacific pany was wi Mail Steamship Com- ling enough to take the consignment,” he said, “but after what occurred to our preceding shipments we decided it would be unsafe to at- Just now we do not care to disclose | what we intend to do with the beef.” Getz Bros. obtained the Russian Government’s order for 3,000,000 pounds of mess beef through their branch and it was a “rush” order. Kansas City and Omaha packing-houses were called upon to fill the contract, and the first special trainload of meat arrived here in time for shipment on the Coptic, which sailed on January 15. The steamship was overhauled at Nagasaki and the meat was confiscated. A similar fate befell the second shipment, which left here on February 2 on the Korea. Both consignments were billed through to | Vladivostok. 4 It was rumored last evening that Getz Bros. had chartered a sailing ves- sel to attempt to run the guantlet of Japanese warships that is hovering off Vladivostok, but no authentic cenfirmation of the report could be ob- tained. It is likely that whatever is done in the way of getting the beef to its ultimate destination will be done very quietly, as the Japanese'Govern- ment evidently is keeving itself in- formed, through its agents in this coun- try, of the eneiny’s plans)to plenish its commissiarat. Correspondents Go to the Orient. Paul Cowles, who for a number of vears has been superintendent of the ‘Western division of the Associated Press, will be among the passengers that depart to-morrow afternoon on the Pacific Mail steamship China for the Orient. He goes to take charge of the war news service of the Asso- ciated Press from Japan, Korea and China.
