Among these assembled at the station at Moscow were Grand Duke Sergius, neral of Moscow, accom- panied by Grand Duchess Elizabeth; the son of ( Paul, Grand Duke Dimit and his sis- ter, Grand I The vast kalancheff square, just out- side the station, was packed by thou- | sands of standing persons, who had hopes of getting a glimpse of their sov- | ereign.

Officials Declare That Government | Has Maintained a Strictly Proper Attitude. ST. PETERSBURG, May 16, 2 p. m.— | In order to allay Russian apprehension as to the attitude of China, the Chinese Minister here has given Foreign Min- ister Lamsdorff fresh assurances of the purpose of his Government not to vio- |late its neutrality and to preserve | tranquility throughout the empire. These assurances, which are based on | dispatches received from the Chinese | Foreign Office and Viceroy Yuan Shi | Kai, commander in chief of the Chinese forces, set forth in the most positive terms that there is absolutely no ground to believe that China will de- | | part from her proclaimed .attitude. “While there has not been the slight- est fear that the peace of the empire will be disturbed or that my Govern- | ment would intervene in the war,” said the Chinese Minister to the eorrespond- ent of the Associated Press, “it was still deemed wise to communicate to Peking and Viceroy Yuan Shi Kai the sensational rumors circulating in Eu- rope.” The Chinese Foreign-Office telegraph- ically reiterated that China -is deter- mined to continue to observe the strict- est neutrality, giving® -its support neither to Russia nor to‘Japan. “Viceroy Yuan Shi Kal telegraphed that the rumors of impend@ing uprisings were without foundation and assured me that a repetition of the Boxer re- wvolt of 1900 was impossible.” The Minister was not advised of the attack of the Governor of Cheefow on the coal imines at Port Adams. He thinks the circumstances atre most misunderstood and that it will be found that there was no intention to commit an act of hostility against Rus- sia. Neither was the Minister inform- ed of the reported Chinese attacks on Russian troops in Manchurfa, for which, even if they occurred, China could not be held responsible, as the region is comprised in the theater of war, which is specifically exempted from Chinese jurisdiction. Heavy Battle Is Imminent. WASHINGTON, May 16.—An inti- mation has reached the officials here to the effect that a great battle is im- minent in the vieinity of the Liaoyang, where the Russians are determined to make a stand. The rumor cannot be traced to its source. 17 MANY SHIPS ARE GUNNING - STRONGHOLD Japanese Said to Be Making Vigorous Assault. A LR Transports Sighted and Troops Supposed to Be Landed. ST, LONDO May .—The Shanghal correspondent of the Morning Post, cabling under date of May 16, says that according to a native report from Port Arthur the Japanese are vigorously be- sieging the fortress night and day, by land and sea; that sixty Japanese war- ships and transports have been sighted in Blackny Bay, and that heavy firing has been heard in Kinchau Bay. The same correspondent says that the Chinese Government is addressing an identical note to all its Ministers abroad, renewing China's declaration of neutrality, and that an imperial edict will be issued enjoining the Chi- nese people to observe strict neu- trality. SEOUL, May 16, 6:30 p. m.—It is re- ported that a Japanese force has cor- nered 200 Russians north of Anju and is endeavoring to starve them out. The only provisions in the possession of the Russians are those secured by forage and it is expected that the food of the besieged men will soon be exhausted. Japanese are bringing to Seoul two Russian non-commissioned officers who were captured at Anju. The pris- oners are being brought here with the intention of producing a moral effect on the Koreans. At Japanese headquarters numbers of Chinese speaking Japanese have been engaged as Interpreters for the Manchurian campaign. ST. PETERSBURG, May 16.—The general staff has received the following dispatch from Lieutenant General Sak- haroff, dated May 15: “On May 14 I was informed that Chinese bandits had appeared in' vil- lages sixteen kilometers west of Liao- vang, and I sent out detachments of riflemen, mounted and on foot, and a company of infantry. No bandits were found in the villages. As the force was returning, twelve kilometers west of a considerable number of bandits were discovered at a point here they had been concealed by the villagers. The riflemen attacked the bandi who occupied the outskirts of the villa, from which they were dis- lodged. They left twenty dead and a number of rifles and many cartridges. Our loss was two soldiers killed and three wounded.” PEFES S e RUSSIANS CREDIT REPORT. Admiralty Belicves That Launch With Torpedo Crippled Japanese Cruiser. ST. PETERSBURG, May 17, 2:20 m.—Owing to the interruption of communication with Port Arthur, the Admiralty has no information of the blowing up of the Japanese cruiser Miyako on May 15 or the torpedoing and crippling of an armored Japanese cruiser in Talienwan Bay May 10 by a launch in command of a young Russian naval officer. The Admiralty officers read with interest the account of the former and point out that by no chance could the two happenings be identical, since the Miyako was struck in daylight and the other event is re- ported as happening at night. The Admiralty, while awaiting news of either incident, points out the fea- sibility of the launch exploit, since the equipment for sending torpedoes from small boats is an invention of the late Vice Admiral Makaroff, which he utilized in the Russo-Turkish war. Where one or two Japanese ships have been crippled, satisfaction is ex- pressed by the Admiralty that”there has been some equivalent for the dis- asters to the Port Arthur fleet. Vice Admiral Rojestvnsky - of the Baltic fleet said that there would be no hurry for the voyage to the Far East and that he does not expect mow to arrive in the Pacific until September 1 next at the earliest. e DENY RACE PREJUDICE. Thousands of Different Religious De- nominations at Tokio Refute Claim. TOKIO, May 1§, 6 p. m.—In refuta- tion of the claim that racial and re- ligious prejudices inspired the Japan- ese to engage in the war with Russia, thousands of Buddhists, Shintoists and CHristians held a joint meeting here to-day, at which addresses denying the charge were gelivered by several leading priests and ministers. A resolution was adopted declaring that the war was not connected with racial or religious questions, but was being carried on to insure the security of the empire of Japan and permanent peace in the East. It was further as- serted that this was distinctly in the interest of justice and the civilization of the world. SRR e Re Envoy From Korea Returns. SEOUL, Korea, May 16, 9 p. m.— Yi Chi Ying, the Korean envoy to Japan to return the recent visit of) Marquis Ito, arrived at Chemulpo from Japan to-day. He was greeted by Korean officials, —_——————— CENTAUR COMPANY WINS SUIT. Imitators Enjoined From Using Mis- leading Labels on Castoria. ST. LOUIS, May 16.—In the case of | Taidong River. CORRESPONDEN TO PROCEED TO THE FRONT Oscar King Davis CHINNAMPO, Korea, Sunday, April 10, 1904—This begins to look as if we were really getting toward the front. 1 had begun to suspect that there was no such place in fact, but that it was only a myth, but this morning when the Suminoye Maru dropped her ancher in the river here and I saw the hills that fringe the place dotted with the camps of soldiers and the valleys between them filled with new warehouses I be~ gan to think that there might be a front after all, and that we were on the track of it. Then when we got ashore and the polite officer at head- quarters said we were at liberty to go on as soon as our baggage got up it seemed quite convincing, for surely If there were no place to which to go how could we go to it? We had been since Wednesday, the 6th, getting up from Moji. There an unexpected and pleasant surprise was given to us. All inquiries in Tokio had elicited the same reply, which was | that when the men who were assigned to the first army were finally permit- ted to go forward they would have to find their own trapsporation to the place of debarkation. The Government | offered, indeed, to take the men them- selves on a Government transport, but without their interpreters and on’ con- dition that they supply their own food for the voyage. TRAVEL ON TRANSPORT. All the men Iimmediately signified their intention of travellng by the transport, and a small ship was char- tered by the canteen contractor to take the interpreters and baggage algng. We were instructed to take the Gov- ernment ship at Moji, and thére we went from Kobe in the little Nagata Maru that does seven knots when wind, tide and everything else favor and ties up in some safe shelter when anything | goes the least bit wrong. At Moji the transport people prompt- ly told us that they expected to take interpreters and all on the Suminoye Maru. This decided change of attitude | was the first real indication that we| were getting forward and was an omen | that the beaurocratic tight rein that had been held on us so long in Tokio would be eased off as as we reached the scene of practical activities. This was a good omen and to-day’s experience has borne it out. To be sure there has not been such a great lot to sce to-day that they will let| one describe. The town lies for the most part in a little cleft between steep hills covered with scrub pine. It was low tide when our ship dropped anchor and along thesshores stretched broad flats of mud that ended in a stout stone seawall. Along the wall lay'dozens of sampans, nearly all new, each numbered and marked to show its capacity in men or horses. Half a dozen transports lay at anchor in the river, and beyond them a small gun- boat. A pier made of large flat stones | laid on tr: mud leads down from the seawall to the water, so that at low tide the sampans may come in and dis- charge their cargo. FILLING THE STOREHOUSES. The seawall flanks a broad road well built uo above the surrounding coun- try. Along this road a track has been laid on which small cars may be run by hand to assist in getting stores and supplies up from the beach. Where the pier leads down to the water a hill rises sharply from the beach, so that there is only a narfow roadway, but a little farther on the road opens on a broad flat stretch agd there the first of many storehouses have been erected. It has been the work of but a few days to put up these storehouses and al- ready some of them are well filled. They are roughly constructed of thin board sides, but roofed with corrugated iron. Along the roadway from the landing are scattered piles of different kinds of stores. This afternoon gangs of coolies were busily piling up the boxes of Red Cross supplies that formed a large part of the cargo of the Stminoye Maru. A bat- tery of howitzers with their caissons stands next to a line of pontoons and between them sentries stand guard over a great heap of ammunition. Farther in there are some batteries of fleld artillery, each carefully guarded, with warning signs scattered about for. bidding any one to touch the guns. Still farther in there is an artillery park, where all sorts of artillery sup- plies are stored. All about the place lie heaps of huge timbers ready to be worked up into the gizes needed, and swarms of Korean sawmen are busy at each pile, slowly cutting the timbers Into boards. The method is as primitive as it is tedious. One end of a timber is raised over a sawhorse to a heignt of several feet. Two men work each saw. One stands on top of the timver and the other sits on the ground underneath. One stroke to the half-minute, or thereabouts, they draw the heavy saw back and forth between them. When the cut reaches the sawhorse the saw is taken out and a new cut begun. A plece of rope tied around the timber keeps the board ends fastened together, and when one end has been sawd up the timber is reversed and the other end cut. By this means about one and a half timbers are cut into boards in a day. . \ GAMBLING THE SPORT. The military occupation of Chinnampo is mostly in the European concession, which lies on the right bank of the Back of the conces- of Picturesque Incidents. -forty years upon the unsuspecting Ko- | TS ALLOWED J of The Call Tells happens, he can only try again or philosophically go without. Scores of curious little shops line the | Streets. Many of them are kept by Japanese, but a few of them are purely Korean. They all keep a strange as-| sortment of articles for sale, principally | clgarettes, of which each shop has mil- | lions. They are mostly of American | manufacture and judging from the la-| bels the tobacco trust must have work- | ed off all its surplus stock for the last ! reans. Cigarettes are about the only thing In <¢he tobacco line that these ehops do keep. Once in a while one| comes across a little plug or smok- ing tobacco, but the most diligent | search failed to discover a single ci- gar. The only evidences of willingness to work that I saw on the part of the Ko- | reans were given by a few men fitfully struggling with a clay bank just back of the house where we are quartered, and by the pack coolies who hung about the landing place and wandered through the streets. A Korean packer | is almost as good a load carrier as a six-foot Missouri mule. He rigs him- self out with a sort of pack saddle fashioned of two sticks about three feet long. These are bound together at the top by a crosspiece lashed on with flimsy cord made of twisted grass. About a foot from the bottom another crosspiece is similarly bound, so that the frame looks something like a let- ter H that has been knocked together at the top. At right angles to the lower crosspiece two arms are lashed, stand- ing out straight from the back of the wearer. On these the load is lashed fast by means of a line that runs from the lower crosspiece up to the top one. On one of these contrivances a husky Korean will pack from 80 to 100 pounds and tote it about comfortably all day. CAMPS OF JAPANESE. On the hills to the westward of the European concession the Japanese have | established several camps. Two or three are of artillery, one is of trans- portation corps men, and one is of men engaged in training animals for use in the transportation service. The fine, new schoolhouse, half way up the hill, has been taken for a hospital, but is not yet occupied. It is in their horses that the Japa- nese are weakest. They are for the most part thin, leggy little beasts, bad tempered and ugly. A good many of those here have already developed some ailment or other. This afternoon I saw a dozen or fifteen at one time brought up to the veterinary for treatment. In camp the horses are tied to picket lines as in our army, but they stand near enough to one another to make fighting easy, and as they ate not heel-roped, that is the main occupation. It is al- ways possible to see a couple of them industriously hammering away at eath other with their heels. Farriers seem to be plenty, and their field outfit is handy to carry. A bellows is just a wooden box about the size of an oil case. A charcoal fire on the ground serves for a forge, and the tools the smith carries in his hands or pockets. The weather is still cold, and across the river there are plainly to be seen mountain peaks covered with snow. The frost is pretty well out of the ground and soon the roads, which are | well-nigh impassible until the spring| thaw is over, will be settled. Then we shall see. —_—— ( ADMIRAL REPORTS DISASTER. Japanese Legation at Washington In- formed of Loss of Mliyako. WASHINGTON, May 16.—The Japa- nese legation has received the following cablegram from Tokio: “Admiral Kataoka reports that on May 14 our torpedo-boat flotilla con- tinued sea-sweeping operations under cover of the fleet. The enemy con- structed temporary batteries on the promontory at Kerr Bay, Talienwan, mounting six field guns, besides a hast- ily constructed fort, and with one com- pany of soldiers stubbornly resisted our attack. Our torpedo flotilla, defying the enemy’s fire, carried out the operations and destroyed flve mines laid by the enemy. Unfortunately, oné of the mines exploded and sunk our cruiser Miyako. In this accident six men were Kkilled, besides the two who were wounded in the fight.” The news of the loss of the Miyako has been sorrowfully received in Toklo. The dangerous character of the work in which the Miyako was engaged is generally appreciated, but it was thought that the loss of torpedo-boat No. 48, under similar circumstances Thursday last, would serve as a warn- ing to those engaged in the work to ex- ercise the greatest care. Admiral Kataoka reports that the Russians withdrew from Robinson Point, northeast of Kerr Bay, which adjoins Talienwan Bay, May 12, but they erected a temporary fort on a height northeast of Taku Mountain, where they mounted six guns and con- | structed protecting trenches. The ves- sels of Admiral Kataoka's squadron shelled the Russians throughout Sun- day, but the latter stubbornly retained thelr position. $ The Japanese flotillas while sweeping the bay were exposed the Russian fire all day, but continued their work uninjured.
