PETERSBURG, April 21.—The | last document left by Baron Toll. the Arctic explorer, has been heard directly since he left the yacht Zeria in 1902 and started for Bennett Island, and who is reported to | have perished in the Arctic Ocean, has been found by Lieutenant Kolchak. It is dated at Paul Keppan Bay, Bennett | 1sland, November 11, 1902, and is as fol- lo | *“Accompanied by Astronomer See- | burg and two traders, I left the winter | quarters of the Zeria, in Nirpich Bay, | Roosevelt, an uncle of President Roose- | on June 7.

The ice | tions West of ST. PETERSBURG, April 21.—The Emperor has received the following telegram from General Kuropatkin un- der to-day's date: “All was quiet on the Yalu on the | 19th and 20th and there has been no change. “On the night of the 19th, opposite Cape Tower Hill, west of Kaicheng, a steamer was observed sending off boats, evidently for the purpose of tak- | ing soundings. The boats soon re- turned.” It is announced that Vice Admiral Stark, formerly in command of the Port Arthur fleet, has been appointed to the command of the Eighth Depot fleet, and that Rear Admiral Witboeft has been appointed chief Jf staff to Viceroy Alexieff. Viceroy Alexieff has sent to the Em- peror a long detailed account of the { naval engagement of April 13, in which | the torpedo-boat destroyer Strashni was sunk, and of the loss of the battle- ship Petropavlovek. AMERICA RESERVES RIGHTS. Foreign Minister Lamsdorff has been notified that the United States reserves all the rights she may have under in- terndtional law in the event of any American citizens being affected by Russia’s decision in the case of war correspondents using wireless teleg- raphy. This notification does not in- volve a protest against Russia’s course; it is simply reserving what- ever rights may exist in regard to the vet unadjudicated question of the use of wireless telegraphy in time of war. United States Commercial Agent Greener at Vladivostok has been in- structed, through Embassador Mc- Cormick, to inform the Japanese Con- | sul at the island of Saghalien that a ! vessel will be sent to the island to | take back to Japan the consulate staft | and the refugees. The arrangements ! for sending the ship have been made | by Japan through the authorities in Washington. Grand Duke Cyril, who was injured at the time of the Petropavlovsk dis- | aster, is protesting against returning ito Russia. He desires, as soon as he | has recovered, to go back to Port Ar- | thur, but his mother, the Grand | Duchess Vladimir, is insisting on his return. WAR AN EXPENSIVE GAME. | Russia has made a new issue of $15,- /000,000 in paper currency against free | gold in the state bank. At the Minis- |try of Finance it was explained that |it was an ordinary issue and in no | sense was forced. Under the law pa- per is issuable to double the amount | of gold up to $150,000,000 gold, in ex- cess of which paper issued must be covered, ruble for ruble. In the state bank there are, in round figures, $400,000,000 in gold, which would permit of an issue of $550,6000,000 in paper, but the paper issue at present amounts to only $350,000,000. All sorts of figures of the cost of the war are printed abroad. The press is authoritatively informed that the daily expenses are averaging $750,000, and it is estimated that a year’s ex- penditures for the war will total $250,- 000,000. To meet this there existed a free balance of $50,000,000, which was in- creased to $115,000,000 by reductions in the ordinary budgets, leaving ostensi- | bly $135,000,000 to be found. But a por- ‘uon of the latter is made up by the increased earnings of the railroads owned by the Government. It beéing | in "reality a questioh of bookkeeping, bow the balance is to be raised has | not yet been determined. No foreign |loan has been arranged and nome is | desired if'it can be avolded, as prac- tically the total of the war expendi- tures will be raised at home. The Min- istry of Finance believes it may be easy to float an internal loan late in the summer or fall. KUROPATKIN IS HOPEFUL. Marine Minister Avellan has received the following telegram from General Kuropatkin: | “1 mentally embrace you, dear Feo- | @ore. Carlovich, knowing the grief and | anxiety you are suffering. The army : finds consolation in the firm conviction {that our illustrious seamen will = re- trieve their loss at the expense of the | Japanese fleet.” ’ ‘While this is the general view, ,there are those who stoutly resent Togo's claim, insisting on the theory of the ex- plosion of either a magazine or the | boilers. Mail advices received here from Alex- androff, island of Saghalien, say it is believed that 2000 to 3000 Japanese em- ployed on the eastern and. southern coasts are disguised soldlers and sail- ors. Many of them have been arrested in the Korsakoff district with arms in their possession. The families of of- ficials and residents of Korsakoff and Alexandroff, it is added, are secreting | their valuables and fieeing into the in- terior. The Japanese having captured the Viadivostok mail steamship, the island will be cut off from communication with the mainland“as soon as the ice disappears at the end of April. WED DURING THE BATTLE. A letter from Port Arthur describes a wedding which occurred during the bombardment of March 22, The wed- ding guests were nearly stampeded, the carriage horses tried to bolt and shells were bursting as the procession drove to the church, but after the cere- mony 100 guests danced while shells were flying and bursting overhead. The newly married couple, it is further asserted, were quite happy. Th shios of the Baltic fleet here and at Libau will bé in commission next week. The naval reserves of the neigh- boring provinces are arriving for dis- tribution to the ships. i At the Viadimir Palace to-day a requiem mass was celebrated for the repose of the soul of Lieutenant von Kuebe, the Grand Duke Cyril's aid-de- camp, who lost his life at the time of the Petropaviovsk disaster. All hope of the recovery of the body of Vice Ad- miral Makaroff has been abandoned. ‘The official reports give eighty as the number of persons saved from the Petropaviovsk. p OGRS JAPANESE GROW QUEUES.

Major General Kon- dratzsvitch, commanding the Ninth East Siberian Rifle Brigade, says the Japanese have taken advantage of the convenient location of . Newchwang, which is full of spies. “In the gulse of merchants, beggars, ragpickers and lackeys,” says the gen- eral, " ‘“these spies’ gniff They have grown pigtails, showing that they have been preparing for -their work for a long time and that they are tion supplied by Chinese. They are hard to get rid of. These insects as soon as they obtain information cross the river into Chinese territory, where they use the telegraph. Some of them have been caught, but the majority wander among the troops and nothing can be done to prevent it.” A Chinese spy who was caught sev- eral days ago was sent to Liaoyang, where he was shot. The Chinese mani- fested deep ‘sympathy, following him along the streets after he had been captured. % 3 i LIE TO CANARDS. Marshall's Report Shows That He Aided Russian Crews at Chemulpo. WASHINGTON, April 21.—A report by. mail from Captain Marshall, com- mander of the Vicksburg, giving an ac- count of the engagement at Chemulpo between the Japanese and Russian naval forces on February 9, was re- ceived by the Navy Department to- day. After telling of the arrival of the Japanese squadron and the landing of 3000 Japanese soldiers at Chemulpo, one-half of which number, he said, took possession of that town, the other half going to Seoul, he was nottfied by Admiral Uriu, commander of the Jap- anese forces, that hostilities existed /be- tween Japan and Russia. Admiral Uriu requested, in case the senior Rus- sian naval officer present refused to leave port, that he (Captain Marshall) keep away from the scene of action in the port, so that no danger from the action would come to his ships. After describing the battle Captain Marshall continues that on learning there were a number of wounded on board the Variag he sent a medical of- ficer aboard to render assistance, and when it was reported that the Varlag was sinking two of his cutters and the whaleboat, with boats from other cruls- ers, assisted In taking off her personnel and putting them aboard the Talbot and Elba. Two Russian engineer offi- cers were taken aboard the Vicksburg and cared for for some time. “And,” adds Captain Marshall, “on my offering to have the Zafiro used as temporary quarters, they were taken to the Elba, where their captain de- tained them and declined my offer with thanks.” In conclusion Captain Marshall’s re- port says: “Between 8 and 10 o'clock a. m. there appeared te be some sort of conference taking place on board the Talbot, as was judged on seeing the frequent communications by boat from the Variag, Elba and Pascal with the Englishmen. After the en- gagement the following semaphore signal from the Talbot to the Elba was read by our signal men: “‘Our letter of protest was deliv- ered on board the Japanese flagship a few minutes before the first shot was fired.’ " P AP il WILL BE TREATED AS TRAITORS. Fate of Pilots at Newchwang Who Aid the Japanese. NEWCHWANG, April 21.—An order issued by the Russian military authori- ties, through the commissioner of cus- toms here, notifying the plilots of New- chwang that any pilot who gave as- sistance to ahy Japanese ship in the waters leading to Newchwang would be held responsible to the full extent of martial law, was made a subject of inquiry by three of the foreign Consuls here with regard to the exact meaning of the words “full extént of martial law.” To these inquiries the Russian an- thorities replied that the assisting of Japanese ships in the waters mentioned would subject the offending pilots to the same treatment given Russian sub- jects and traitors, based upon the fact that the Russian authorities had de- clared Newchwang to be under mar- tial law. In their reply to the C‘nsuln the authorities affirmed, further, that, on the other hand, pilots could be com- pelled to pilot Russian vessels or forced to leave Newchwang. The Russian authorities hold that under the existing martial law for- elgners are upon the same status as Russian subjects, but the foreign Con- suls: aver that foreign residents of Newchwang who tight assist the Jap- anese can be held responsible for the acts only as belligerents and cannot be regarded as Russian subjects. GIVES SR AMERICAN MARINES RETIRE. SEOUL, Korea, April 21.—Lieutenant Douglas C. McDonald, United States marine corps, and seventy privates of the marine guard which had been on duty at the American legation here have been ordered to leave. They will sail from Chemulpo on the United States cruiser Raleigh for Manila. During their stay here the American marines have been crowded in a small houseé in the legation compound. The impossibility of housing the men prop- erly during the hot weather, the tran- | quil conditions prevailing at Seoul at the present time and theé presence in the city of a Japanese garrison suffi- cient to quell any disturbance which may arise have led the American au- | thoritiés to decide upon the reduction of the legation guard. g everywhere. | unwilling to trust entirely to informa- |to eapture one bullock dally. | actor and Japanese Said to Have Landed at Newchwang.

Special Dispatch to The Call. - NEW YORK, April 21.—The World has the following from St. Petersburg: - “The Japanese are reported to have bombarded Newchwang and to have landed" troops, who probably will en- deavor to effect a junction with the forces supposed to have landed near the mouth of the Yalu River three daysg ago.” The Times' Ichwang says: “The Russians are denuding the ter- ritory west of the Yalu. They have sent out foraging parties of fifty Cos- sacks, each man being counted upon Thus thousands of cattle were driven into Mukden fof which neither receipt nor cash was given.” i HATRED OF AMERICANS. Russlans in Manchuria Believe They Are Aiding the Foe. BERLIN, April 21.—The correspond- nt of the Frankfurter Zeitung, writ- ing. from Harbin, Manchuria, under date of March 16, says:. “Great bitterness has been aroused throughout Manchuria against Ameri- cans and British, because It is believed American and. British vessels took part in the bombardments of Port Ar- thur under the Japanese flag. This be- llef apparently is due to the fact that the Japanese fleet was larger than the Russians expected and included un- known types of vessels. ““The feeling is so strong that Ameri- cans and British are not safe anywhere in Manchuria. One Railley, an Ameri- can, and several others, including Dav- ldson, a Canadian, have disappeared. The authorities are looking for them. “It is reported that an Englishman was arrested in Port Arthur as a spy and was taken to Mukden and hanged. “The plying of the so-called flower boats on the Liao River, mostly under the American flag and carrying Ameri- can goods, has been prohibited. “Southern Manchuria has been scoured for several months for sypplies of flour destined for Port Arthur, which is reported to be provisioned for two years.” SRS SAMURAI CUSTOM IN VOGUE. cablegram from New- Japanese Volunteers Sign Applications With Their Own Blood. TOKIO, April 21.—The War Office here iIs flooded with thousands of ap- plications from Japanese of all ages and every condition of life for permis- slon to go to the front and fight. These applications are from time-expired sol- diers, as well as from young boys, and the ages of the applicants range from 14 to 70 years. They are following the Samurai custom and sign their appli- cations with their own blood, and sev- eral applications written entirely in the blood of the would-be fighters have been received. None of these volun- teers have been accepted as yet. The War Department officials are much gratified at this evidence of the desire of the people to assist in the war. The applications have been filed away, and if volunteers are needed these applicants will be given the first opportunities to go to the front. The officials believe that the country would find it easy to obtain a half-million vol- unteers. i RUMORS OF A BATTLE. Belief in Korean Capital That Land Engagement Has Occurred. Special Cable to The Call and New York Her- ald. Copyright, 1904, by the. New York Herald Publishing Company. SEOUL, April 21.—Strong rumors are current here of a land engagement yes- terday near the mouth of the Yalu, the result of which is unknown. Russian scouts reached Pukcheng, 100 miles north of Wonson, evidently with the idea of making a demonstra- tion against'the latter place, hoping to draw a Japanese force in that direc- tion, but a superior force of Japanese met the Russians and caused them to retire. Both armies are using the same tactics on the eastern as on the west- ern Korean coast. R Alexieff May Not Be Retired. TIENTSIN, April 21.—Russians at Tientsin do not believe that the recent resignation of Admiral Alexieff as Viceroy of the Emperor in the Far East will be accepted by the St. Petersburg authorities. e BE g Vit Pukcheng Not Held by Russians.

ROME, April 21.—Pope Pius, in or- der to reconcile the ecclesiastic con- tests of the Roman Catholic Poles and Germans in the United States, is about to publish a document making equal 'c(meeuxm to both races. It is prob- rable that these two sections of the ‘Jchurch will be placed under national vicars, with episcopal jdérisdiction, but nominally subject to territorial Bishops. Cardinal Merry del Val, papal secretary, strongly supports this Innovation, overruling the objections | of various Cardinals and several Amer- ican Bishops. . ————— \ Veteran Actor Dies.

HARBIN, Manchuria, April 21.—The two officers of the Japanese general staff, a colonel and a captain, who were arrested by the raiiroad guard eighteen miles from this place on April 16 were ,found guilty by a court-martial and sentenced to be hanged. The officers listened quietly to the sentence of the court, but subsequently asked that their lives be spared. General Kuropatkin confirmed the findings of the court, but taking into consideration the fact that the accused were soldiers he ordered that they should be shot instead of hanged. The sittings of the court-martial attracted a large attendance, including many ladies. ST. PETERSBURG, April 21.—In a telegram to the Emperor, General Ku- ropatkin says: “I respectfully report to your Majesty that two Japanese officers, named Stcevo Ykoka and Giska Oki, were ar- rested near the station of Turchikhi. In their possession were found three cases of Bickford fuse, a French wrench, dy- namite cartridges, tools for rallway wrecking, cylinders containing one and a half pounds of® pyroxylin, good maps of Mongolia, Manchéria and Northern Korea and a number of notes. “A court-martial held at Harbin on April 20 found them guilty, while be- longing to the Japanese army of oper- ating against Russia, and in order to gain success for their army of destroy- ing or damaging telegraph and railway communication by means of pyroxylin and other accessorles provided for that purpose, and of making their way into Manchuria secretly, where they wers arrested by Russian patrols thirty versts southwest of the station of Tur- chikhi, on the Eastern Chinese Rail- way. The officers wore Mongolian dress to disguise their nationality. “The officers were condemned to be deprived of their civil rights and to be executed by hanging. I confirmed the sentence, but in view of the officers’ rank consented that they be shot in- stead of hanged, with the same loss of | eivil rights. 1 refused their prayer to spare their lives, and they were exe- cuted at 6 o'clock on the evening of L April 21.” Ay gt HOLDS FOUR SHIPS AT BAY. Cruiser Bayan Escapes Unscathed Under Heavy Japanese Fire. PORT ARTHUR, April 21.—Further details of the action of the cruiser Bayan during the night of April 13 | show that in covering the retreat of the Russian torpedo-boats she ap- proached within thirty cable lengths of the enemy in attempting to rescue the Strashni’'s crew and stood broad- | side to the enemy, keeping four cruis- ers at bay while she lowered her boats on the other side and picked up five sailors. In spite of the weight of the enemy’s fire not a single man on the Bayan was wounded. One of the Bayan's shells fell between the smokestacks of one of the Japanese cruisers, produc- ing a heavy explosion on board. ADVERTISEMENTS.
