RUSSIANS COMPLAIN TO POWERS A PR i the Japanese Causes a Protest. Pl A Declared to Be in Splen- did Health. —e ST. PETERSBURG, May 10.—Russia | has protested to the Powers signatory of The Hague and Geneva conven- | tions against the action of the Japan- ese in firing on the Red Cross trains from Port Arthur May 6, when of 200 sick and wounded on the cars two were | struck by the Japanese bullets. The general staff is authority for the statement that the health of the Rus- sian troops is exceptionally good, con- sidering the filthy Chinese hovels along the line of march, which it is some- times impossible to keep the men from entering. The total number of cases in the hospitals does not exceed 1 per cent of the Russian forces. The con- dition of Mukden is no worse than other places. The following statement was made to-day regarding the reported epidem- ics at Mukden: “There are some cases of dysentery and smallpox and several cases of ty- phus in the Mukden hospital, but there has been:no application for more sur- geons nor for speciab remedies or ser- um, and it is entirely misleading to say that epidemics exist. Smallpox and typhus are endemic in,Manchuria and dysentery is inevitable where large todies of men are crowded together. There is nothing alarming in the sit- vation.” | WASHINGTON, May 10.—Russia’s | protest to the United States against the action of the Japanese in firing on | the Red Cross train from Port Arthur |May 6 and striking two of the 200 | wounded aboard, was sent to the State | Department to-night by Count Cassini, the Russian Embassador, in a note to | the Secretary of State. Similar pro- | tests have been addressed to all the powers signatory to The Hague and | Geneva conventions. In his note Count | Cassin] merely states that by direction | of his Government he respectfully calls |to the attention of the Washington | Government this action of the Jap- | anese, which the Russian Government |is compelled to regard as an open vio- |lation of the Geneva and The Hague | conventions. | gt A CASSINI IS GRATEFUL. | Russla’s FEmbassador Acknowledges | Slav-Americans’ Goodwill Toward His Country. On Mayv 5 the Slav-Americans of San Francisco held a meeting and a telegram was sent Count Cassini, Rus- sia’s Embassador at Washington, ex- pressing love for Russia and en- couragement with her in her conflict with Japan. Count Cassini in acknowl- edging the receipt of the message sent the following reply by telegram yes- terday: The Rev. Sebastian Dabovich, president Slav- American Committee, San Francisco: I beg to thank the Siav-Americans of San Francisco and you most sincerely for your express kind feelings for my country.

Schilling’s Be:: are entirely safe; at your gro- cer’s; your money goes furthe; JAPANESE POLICY IS Present Purpose of Mi- kado’s Government. - terior Speaks of the Is- sues at Stake. LONDON, May 10.—Baron Saye- former Japanese Minister of the In- terior, who lately arrived here by way of the United States, in the course df the fears expressed on the continent as to the effect of Japanese successes on Japan’s policy after the war, de- clared emphatically that Japan's pol- lcy is well defined and her success will make no difference. The future status of Korea would be that of a Japanese Cuba or a Japanese Egypt. Russia will not be allowed the least political or territorial hold there. Regarding Manchuria, Japan desires no rights there beyond what are enjoyed by the other powers, Manchuria will be given back to China under conditions. Possibly Man- churia may be made a buffer State under China's sovereignty. Discussing China’s neutrality, M. Suyematsu said the chief danger was Russia, which was either willingly or unconseciously irritating the Chinese, thus tending to a breach of neutrality. He did not be- lieve that any change in China’s at- titude would involve France or Ger- many in the issues of thé war, and concluded with declaring that Japan's alms were perfectly legitimate, her policy being to insure absolute freedom for all the powers in the Far East, and no Occidental power need have the slightest anxiety that Japan will suf- fer from “swelled head” as a result of the conflict. REVES DECRIES NITED STATES CARACAS, Venezuela, May 10.— Much satisfaction is expressed at the results of the recent visit of General Rafael Reyes, President-elect of Co- lombia, to Venezuela. Besides being about the resumption of consular re- lations between Venezuela and Colom- bia, which have been ruptured for | several years, General Reyes sounded a note of, warnjng against the United States. A notable incident of the visit was the dinner given by Mr. Herbosa, the Chillan minister " at Caracas to General Reyes. While other nations were represented, no member of the United States legation was present. When General Reyes arrived at Macuto he said: “The only means which the coun- tries of Latin America have of sav- ing themselves from dismemberment, such as Colombia has suffered by the separation of Panama and of nullify- ing the danger of falling victims to “manifest destiny,” proclaimed = by President McKinley and realized by President Roosevelt with universal ap- plause, is to put an end once for all, as Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina have done, to civil war. “With these ideas in view I have avoided war in Panama. I agn now going to my country to work for its reconstruction on a serious and re- spectable basis and to aid in the con- struction of the isthmian canal. This canal is of greater interest to Colom- bia .than to the United States.” matsu, son-in-law of Marquis Ito and: THREE JAPANESE DIVISIONS ADVAN CING CLEAR CUT| Firing on Red Cross Train by [ Success Will Not Change the | General’s Object to Sever an interview to-day with reference toycheng toward Liaoyang, KUROKTIS PLAN FOR .

Soldiers of the Czar Are|Former Minister of the In-|Japanese Troops Cauvtvioncd1 Not to Fight Against the Chinese. — LONDON, May 11.—The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post, under date of May 10, says that the Japanese army is advancing in three divisions—the first from Fengwang- the second from Poladien and Chuchon to Yung- yaocheng, and the third from Kulien- cheng to Kuliengin with the object of severing communication with the rear of Liaoyang, where only small prepat- ations for defense have been made. Spenser Wilkinson, .in an article in the Morning Post, thinks there is no inherent probability in the foregoing suggestion. Two armies are advanc- ing against General Kuropatkin from Fengwangcheng and from Port Adams via Kaiping and the third to Kuroki's right with a view of turning the Rus- sian left, but Mr. Wilkinson adds it is impossible to say whether the Shang- hai dispatch is based on guesswork or on authentic information. The correspondent of the Times at | Tokio says it appears that the capture of Fengwangcheng was effected, not by the troops which fought on the Yalu, but by a mixea brigade under Major General Sasaki, which, march- ing eastward.on April 20, crossed the Yalu at Chengseng ana moved on Fengwangcheng by a mountain road. The correspondent says that General Kurokl has issued a general order re- minding the troops that they were not fighting against the Chinese, but against the Russians, and insisting on the utmost consideration for the Chinese, who had been reduced to a pitiable condition -by the presence of the Russian forces gnd were mnow obliged to endure the passage of the Japanese army. The same correspondent says that the sole object of the Japanese foreign loan is to secure a gold currency sys- tem and to maintain the convertibility of notes. The loan will not be used to finance the war and, therefore, the entire proceeds will be kept as a cur- rency.reserve, probably in London. The Standard’s correspondent at Tientsin considers that the procedure of the Chinese Government requires careful observation. He says he does not desire to appear as an alarmist, but he thinks that China’s military activity and the aceumulation -of funds at Peking are not entirely unconnected with the Russian scare, and that the powers .would be -wise -to strengthen their positions unobtrusively and to watch every movement closely. ———— NEWS REACHES CASSINIL Russian Embassador at Washington Learns of Situation at Port Arthur.

Record of American Com- manding Officer at Che- mulpo Given to Publie. WASHINGTON, May 10.—The atten- tion of the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department to-day was cail- ed to the official report of M. Pavloft, Russian Minister to Korea, which was gazetted in the Official Messenger, stating that the commander of the Vicksburg refused, after the engage- ment at Chemulpo, to take aboard the vessel wounded men from the Russian warships Variag and Korietz. The bureau produced the following extract from- the report of Commander W. AL Marshall, commanding the Vicksburg officials res gard as & complete rebuttal: “About 12:30 p. m., February 9, both Russian vessels, Korietz and Variag, keaded in toward their anchorage at full speed and as they approached it was seen that the Variag had a list to port and appeared to be on fire aft on the port quarter, a number of Jap- anése in pursult, until about a mile inside of Yodolim, but not firing, as the foreign men-of-war were directly in line of fire, when they gave up the chase and rejoined their squadron out- side. At 12:50 the Variag anchored about 400 yards to the northward and west- ward of the Talbot, with the Elba about 600 yards to the southward of her. On lgarning that she had quite a number of wounded men I sent our medical officers on board to render assistance. The same was done by the Talbot, Elba and Pascal. A little later on, on its being reported that the Variag was in a sinking condition, two of our cutters and the whaleboat, with boats from the other cruisers, assisted in taking off her personnel and put- ting them on board the Talbot and Elba. Two Russian engineer officers were brought on board the Vicksburg and taken care of for some time and on my offering to have the Zafiro used as temporary quarters, they were taken to the Elba, where their captain detained them and declined my offef with thanks.” It is pointed out by the chief of the Navigation Bureau that the Zafiro, which was tendered as a hospital ship, Is a roomy naval transport and was much more suitable for the accommo- dations of the wounded than the little Vicksburg wWHh her cramped quar- tery. - 4 o= ““UKASE OALLS RESERVES.
