Empress Presents One Ru- ble to Each Soldier Partic- ipating in Display. ST. PETERSBURG, May 11.—There were scenés of martial splendor on the “hamps de Mars to-day when Emperor Nicholas held his annual review of the detachments of -all troops in the mill- tary district at St. Petersburg, v\'h(rhl includes every regiment of the Imperial | Guard. The foreign military attaches | scrutinized with: much more than or- dinary care the defile of crack regi- ments of the emplire, which is now bat- tling to maintain its position in the Far East, and the general verdict was that no better body of soldiery could be seen in Europe. The field on which the review was held presented a striking picture. Drawn up on the vast plain were 40,- 000 of the finest troops in the empire rrayed in brilliant uniforms. Preceded by the generals in lamb- | skin caps and followed by an imposing entourage which included the military attaches, among whom were Captain | senting the United States the imperial cortege moved through the summer garden to the plain. The Empress and the Emperor’'s mother rode in an open state carriage, with Cossack footmen, | and drawn by six white stallions. The | mperor was mounted on a coal-black across his breast, his being by far the most modest uniform in the imperial EMPEROR IS CHEERED. On the appearance of the Emperor | the standards were lifted, the bands burst forth and tens of thousands of throats roared a welcome. Like a shuttle the 'cortege passed back and| forth as the Emperor inspected the various regiments. '‘Good day, my was his universal greeting. “Good health, your Imperial Majes- | was the unfalling response. When inspection was completed the the bands re masesed opposite the Im- perial pavilion. The Empress took her place with her suite and moved some distance to the right. Out in front, alone, save for a bugler and the guards in bright erimson, the Emperor sat| on his charger like a statue. He looked | strong and well. Then the defile of | splendid battalions began, the bands playing regimental airs throughout the | review. | It was a proud military array, though | perhaps the effect was more medieval than modern. The Emperor watched each detach- ment keenly, a bugler by his side| sounding the Imperial commands. | When his Majesty signified his ap-| proval of a particularly smart body of | troops, with one volce the soldiers| shouted “We are glad to do the best| we can for your Majesty.” | Almost In front of the Imperial pav- ilion a wheel horse of one of the bat- teries fell. His Majesty instantly com- | manded a halt, personally riding out| to ascertain the cause of the acci- dent. REWARDS THE OFFICERS. The review concluded with a charge of 10,000 cavairy at full speed across the‘ plain. With a front half a mile wide| the magnificent horsemen, in strange | and multi-colored uniforms and with | flags and pennants streaming, shot for-| ward as if one man at the command of the Grand Duke Viadimir, who is com- mander in chief of all the guard regi- ments. The very earth seemed to tremble under the thunder of the herses’ hoofs. On they came, at such a mad pace that it seemed as if they must carry down all before them. Instinctively those in the boxes drew back, but scarcely five paces. beyond . the Emveror, Grand Duke Viadimir threw up his sword and the line stopped dead, many horses being thrown upon their haunches, but. not a man or beast went down. A great burst of applause came from the spectators. Then, in accordance with thg custom, the’ commanding officers moved up to _hear the Emperor's criti- cism, and at the same time the senior non-commissioned officers of each de- tachment of troops repaired to the im- perial pavilion to pay his respects to the Empress. She rewarded the non- commissioned. officers by directing the distribution of three rubles to each and one ruble to each man participating in the review. Grand Duke Michael, the heir pre- sumptive to the Russian throne, marched with one of the foot guard regiments, in which he is a lieutenant. S e READY TO LEAVE NEWCHWANG.

Does Not Favor Suggestion That Chinese Troops Oc- cupy the Territory. B S Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, May 11.—Count Cas- sini, Russian Embassador, to-day gave lan interview for The Call on several | matters of importance growing out of the progress of the war in the Far East. “What do you think of the suggestion that Chinese troops be encouraged to move into Manchuria and take posses- sion as the Russian troops move out?” Count Cassini was asked. He replied: “It would seem to be based on an assumption because the Russian troops are falling back that they are through with Manchuria and | that hostilities there are ended. It is| erroneous to suppose this is a perma- | nent withdrawal. “General Kuropatkin is one of the greatest soldiers and strategists in Eu- rope. The movement which is now go-| ing on is merely one of disposition of | forces. I do not believe he approved of the giving of battle at fhe Yalu River. The policy I think he approves of is merely to harags the enemy until we are ready to make a demonstration which will be effective. In a short time the force under Kuropatkin will be | greatly increased. Before July he will have an army of between 450,000 and 500,000 men. Then he will be ready to move. “The introduction of Chinese troops into Manchurian territory which has| been evacuated by Russian troops in their withdrawal for .the purpose of strengthening their forces would have the tendency to defeat the very purpose of the note of Secretary Hay, in which | he sought the assistance of all the pow- ers to the principle that China should remain neutral.” e R ST THINK SQUADRON IS SAFE. Russlans Do Not Believe Port Arthur Fleet Is Scuttied. ST. PETERSBURG, May 11.—The report that the Russian squadron at Port Arthur was destroyed to prevent its falling into the hands of the en- emy is scouted at the Admiralty. “We are not going to repeat the mis- take made at Sebastopol,” said Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, commander of the Baltic fleet. “If the worst comes to the worst, the squadron will put to sea, engage the enemy and inflict as much damage as possible before going | to the bottom. But you can say that| it'is a little early yet to talk of such desperation.” The general staff is positive that there has been no fight at Maotien- ling Pass, for the simple reason that | the Russians do not occupy Only | a few scouts were left there. ing to their repo the panese | forces at Fengwangcheng were divi-| ded into two in the advance, one part moving forward toward Liaoyang and the other marching toward Haichensg. Both Liaoyang and Néwchwang are six days' march from Fengwangchéng. Therefore, they argue, a fight of im- portance is impossible for at least two days. The general staff is without infor- mation regarding the reported death of Lieutenant-General Zassalitch, de- claring that it is not credible. The possibility of a small engagement at Wafungtien is admitted, although no information has been received. But if an engagement has occurred there they insist it could not have been of importance, as the garrison is small. The Russian force at Newchwang is withdrawing, but the place was still held according to the last advices. ‘When the evacuation is completed, in order to protect the foreign inhabitants against brigands, China will be invited probably to send regular troops te Newchwang. It is explained that the situation at Newchwang is anomalous. Primarily the civil administration of a city whose country is being invaded remains in possession until the enemy appears, but in this case Russia is only administering it provisionally, ~China being the real owner. The information which has been re- ceived at the Foreign Office from M. Plancon, secretary to Viceroy Alexieff, who has a diplomatic agent at New chwang, is not of an alarming charac- ter, and the statement that 3000 Chinese. bandits are across the river waiting to swoop on Newchwang the moment the Russians depart is not credited. In this connection it can be positively stated that the advices at the Foreign Office from China are reassuring. It is believed that the restraint which is being exercised at Peking by all the powers is having effect. There is rea- son to believe that the Russians in- tend to hold the stations and railroad between Port Arthur and Liaoyang and probably Kaiping and that the latter place will be put in a state to stand a slege, the idea being that if it can hold out for three months it will make the relief of Port Arthur much easler when General Kuropatkin is ready to as- sume, the offensive. Possibly the New- chwang garrison will be sent to Kai- ping. AN St JAPAN WANTS LARGE LOAN FOR PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS Smaller Applications Will Not Have Consideration if Others Offer to Take Amount. TOKIO, May 11, 4 p. m.—At a Cab- inet méeting yesterday it was decided to float another popular loan of $50,- 000,000 at 95, redeemable in five years, with interest at 5 per cent, payment to be in ten installments, commenecing in June next. An imperial ordinance providing for the loan will be issued about May 20. Should the loan be over subscribed an equal distribution will be made among the applicants, instead of giving preference to small subscribers, as was done in the case of the last loan. i preme B LS Japanese Kind to the Wounded. LONDON, May 12.—The Daily Mail's correspondent at the Japanese head- quarters in describing the battle on the Yalu testifies that the Russian poe sition there, if properly held, ought to have been impregnable, even with the sacrifice of 10,000 men. He continues: *“The Japanese are showing the great- est kindness to the wounded prisoners and the captured Russian officers are being treated by the highest among the Japanese as respected guests.” —_— GIVES QUTLINE OF SITOATION IN MANCHURIA Russian Officer Expects Tm- portant Developments in Next Few Days. Says It Is Probable That Port Arthur Will Again Be Cut Off. ST. PETERSBURG, May 12, 3:35 a. m.—Impending events of grave impor- tance to the military situation in Man- churia are foreshadowed in official dispatches given out last night by the ‘War Commission. On May 8 the Japanese force cau- tlously moved from Fengwangcheng toward Haicheng, which is thirty-two miles east by north of Newchwang, ! and it is the opinion of the gen- eral staff that they ghould certainly reach their destination within two days. If the Japanese octcupy Haicheng, with. Port Arthur effect- ively cut off, Newchwang, which the Russians have already _dismantled, would pass into their hands. The en- tire Liaotung peninsula, in fact, save Port Arthur and perhaps Kaiping, would be commanded by them. The troops sent by General Kuroki to the southwest of Fengwangcheng, which troops, it is established, do not belong to a third army, none having Mnded at Takushan, crossed the Tay- | ang River May 7 and should by this time be operating in the Llaotung pe- ninsula, provided they continued, as is regarded probable, the plan being to complete the mastery of Southern Man- churia, Besides acting-energetically in South- ern Manchuria and moving on Hai- cheng, General Kuroki kept in mind the necessity of outflanking General Kuropatkin at Laioyang, as is shown in the fact that on the morning of May 10 he started a formidable force, con- gisting of a division of infapiry and forty guns and 1500 cavalry, toward Saimadza. In view of General Kuropatkin's statement that an examination May 10 of the line between Saimadza and Feng- wangcheng failed to show the presence of Japanese, the authorities are puz- zled as to where the Japanese forces came from. A Japanese detachment is reported officially to have occupvied Kwantein- sien May 6, but it is believed likely to be a small scouting party belonging to General Kuroki's army. The Associated Press has received the following assurances from a mem- ber of the general staff: “There are ample supplies of muni- tions of war at Port Arthur, but nat- urally General Kuropatkin desired to| send as much as possible to the fort-| ress. During the exnected siege great | quantities of shells and explosives wiil | be fired, and we cannot afford to per- mit the reproach of the defenders that they could not hold Port Arthur be- cause of a lack of powder and shell. But, I assure you, there are enough supplies there for a year. “With such a large force of the en- emy before Port Arthur, it is well un- derstood here that it is a question of days, perhaps hours, before communi- cation is again cut off.” e JAPANESE OFF POSSIET.

Admission to the caucus was by tickets distributed by the dis- trict chairman. As a result of this policy of the ‘State organization, the Hearst people have started a movement to bolt the convention to-morrow and hold a rump convention that will send a complete set of Hearst delegates to the national convention. Rump caucuses were held to-night for the Second and Tenth districts im- mediately following the reguldr cau- cuses, as it was reported late to-night that the Hearst delegates from other districts had taken like action and will to-morrow present to the conven- tion a full slate of delegates and coun- vention officers. The scenes attending several of the caucuses were extremely riotous. In- flamed with the bitterness of intense partisanship men fought, raved and cursed llke mad men. This was espe- cially true at the Tenth District cau- cus. Hearst delegates who did not have tickets attempted to force their way into the halls where the meetings were held. In a few instances they were success- ful. A sufficlent number of Hearst people gained admission to both the Tenth and Second district caucuses to start and maintain a pandemonium as soon as the Parker people opened pro- ceedings.

PETERSBURG, May 11.—The General Staff has received the follow- ing dispatch from General Karevitch bearing to-day’s date: ‘“According to reports from the region of the Tay- anhe (Tayang) River, sent on the evening of May 8, the Japanese had not yet occupied Taku Shan. “A sotnia of Cossacks on the morning of May 7 approached within nine miles of Luanmiao and became engaged in a fusillade with a Japanese company. The latter soon received reinforce- ments, our sotnia finding itself op- posed to a Japanese battalion and half a squadron of cavalry. ‘“Meanwhile Japanese infantry effect- ed a crossing of the river by turning to the left of the sotnia. “‘Commander Saraieff withdrew his| men.

ANTUNG, May 6, via Seoul, May 11.— An official report of the casualties at the battle of the Yalu shows a list of thirty-one Japanese officers killed and twenty-nine wounded; 160 men killed and 666 wounded. On the Russian sid 1362 were found dead on the field, wounded are in Japanese hospitals and 138 men were taken prisoners. Most of the Russians who surren- dered at Hamatan, west of Chiulien- cheng, where the Japanese charged the Russian rear guard, were wounded. The Russian soldiers who have since! died in hospital are buried on a hilltop near Antung and were followed to the grave by a Japanese guard of honor and the staff officers. A Danish Lu- theran missionary, the only foreigner living at Antung, read the funeral serv- ices over the remains. The captured Russian munitions of war being brought into Antung in- clude twenty fleld pieces, ten machine guns, much small arm ammunition, twenty transport wagons, two ambu- lances and band instruments, the lat- ter being perforated with bullets. Most of these thi Jvere abandoned in the precipitate THght'of the Russian trooos. A JAPAN IS APPREHENSIVE. | Fears for the Safety of Her Sailors Captured at Port Arthur. WASHINGTON, May 11.—The Jap- anese Government is apprehensive as to the Japanese sailors who were re- ported missing or captured a8 a re- sult of Admiral Togo’s last attack up- on Port Arthur in an attempt to close the harbor. There were forty of these men, whom the torpedo boats could not pick up, and the Japanese Government is anxious that any of them who were luck- enough to escape drowning and reach shore, shall be properly taken care of by the Russians. Minister Takahira to-day requested Secretary Hay, as the custodian of Japanese in- terests during the war, to apply to the Russian Government for informa- tion on this point. Secretary Hay | promptly cabled the request to Em-| bassador McCormick, at St. Peters- burg. i R R TR WANTS BETTER NAVAL FORCE FOR GREAT GERMAN EMPIRE Appeal Is Made in Reichstag for Im- provements to Meet Future Conditions. BERLIN, May 11. — Upon the third reading of the naval budget in the Reichstag to-day Baron von Kardorff (Agrarian) asked Secretary of the Ad- miralty von Tirpitz why the German naval authorities had done nothing in the direction of building submarine boats, while all the other navies were experimenting with them. “The Russo-Japanese war,” he said, “must warn us that our navy is far from what Germany must demand of its navy. Our navy must be made much stronger.” Von Kardorff further said that the PBritish navy was growing dangerous for Germany. g Building Forts at Motien Pass. LONDON, May 12—The Morning Post’s Shanghai correspondent says the Russians are building forts at Mo- tien Pass and extensive intrenchments outside Liaoyang. The Japanese Min- ister at Peking has complained of Rus- sian alleged repeated invasions of Chi- nese territory, and has asked that China take prompt measures to coun- teract them.

H below - GOVERNMENT WILL DROP VICKSBURG INCIDENT WASHINGTON, May 11.—The State Department has concluded not to make an official protest to the Russian Gov- ernment against the latest utterances of M. Pavloff, late Russian Minister to Korea, relative to the conduct of the officers of the United States ship Vicks- burg in reference to the succoring of the gurvivors of the Variag and Ko- rietz. Naval officers here have shown considerable feeling over the eriticisms as affecting the honor of the United States navy and are desirous of having an inquiry made as to why these state- ments were given publication in the Officiai Messenger, thus stamping them as official. The State Department offi- cials, however, are disposed to ignore the incident, one of them explaining that M. Pavloff’s utterances are, in a measure, pardonable, in view of the humiliations which he has suffered in being expelled from Korea. Making due allowances for his state of mind, according to the State Department offi- cials, the department will not notice the matter. ; vttt SERD L O Late Shipping Intelligence. OCE .—S'E—II.\(ERS.

Colonel Arvjo, who started from Chandless with two hundred and twenty men, at- | tacked the Peruvians at Santa Rosa. The fight lasted twenty-four hour: finally Colonel Arujo had to withdraw after losing many killed and wounded. Colonel Arujo says the battle was fought under unfavorable conditions. It is announced that negotiations are continuing with favorable indications. Baron de Rio Branco, Minister of For- eign Affairs, declared that Brazil is disposed to submit the matter to arbi- traticna if it could not be settled by di- reet negotiations, but that it is neces- sary that Peru should speecify her claims. Meanwhile military and naval preparations continue. It is under- stood that the war vessels Deodoro, Fonseca, Tiradentes, Tambira and Ta- mayo, will go to Manaos. It is learned that the conference be- tween the Peruvian Minister, Senor Ve- larde, and Baron de Rio Branco was very cordial. Senor Velarde proposed in the name of his Government the neutralization of the territory in Up- per Jurua and Upper Purus. Baron de Rio Branco said Brazil would al- low the policy announced in the recent message of the President. ————————— SHANGHAI, May 11, evening.— There was a riot at Chin Kiang to- day.
