The Perdicaris affair is over, he says, and no developments are expected.

GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, June 26.— Much excitement, followed by rioting, has resulted here from the action of the municipality in raising the tariff for water service. Two meetings were held in this city during the evenings 23 and 24, and on the night 24 about 5000 citizens par- streets, protesting against the action.

Has Received No News Concerning Prisoners Held by Russia | TOKIO, June 26.—The failure of the Russians to supply information con- | cerning Japanese prisoners of war in | their possession is arousing a strong | feeling of resentment here. It is probable that the American | Government will be asked to make | pointed inquiry at St. Petersburg con- | cerning the present condition of Jap- tem of regular reports. On May burg 5 a dispatch from St. Peters- | stated that ,regulations for a | er's bureau, drawn up by spe- | commission of the Foreign Office, | under the presidency of Professor de Maartens, professor of international law in the University of St. Petersburg, had been finished. Complete informa- tion will be available from this bureau and communications with the friends of the prisoners at home will be ar- ranged. According to the St. Peters- burg dispatch, the Russian rules are of a humane character, following the most advanced ideas on the subject of the care of prisoners, sek B PTai His Presence at Tatchekiao Greatly Inspirves the Russian Troops. TATCHEKIAO, June 26.—Camps are being formed about this town and troops are constantly arriving. The Russian scouts are keeping in touch with the enemy southward. There is constant skirmishing. Trains are running northward daily. Commu- nication with Kaichou and Newchwang is_unimpeded. The presence of General Kuropatkin has greatly inspired the Russian troops and has evidently had an effect upon the {Japanese. e Japanese have fallen back on Senuchen, notwithstanding their suc- cess at Vafangow. Everything points to an action in this vicinity. The Russian soldiers and war material are in splendid condition. LIRS . CHARGES AGAINST RUSSIANS..

SEOUL, Korea, June 26.—A tele- gram received here from Gensan, Korea, reports that Russian troops have burned numerous dwellings in the towns of Kilju and Hamheung and that at the latter place women were subjected to ill treatment. One thousand Russian troops are commandeering livestock, food and carts from a wide area in Northeast- ern Korea.

There is much speculation to-night as to whether the Vladivostok squad- ron might not have gone out and, per- haps, be on the eve ef joining the Port Arthur fleet. A telegram from Viadi- vostok, dated Junc 25, which has been received here, does not mention the squadron, but it is easily conceivable that such mention might be suppressed for strategic reasons. lh .y NAVAL BATTIE. ANOTHER Thursday's Combat Believed to Have Been Followed I'y Fight on Friday. CHEF' June 26. — Steamships which passed thirty miles to the west of Liaotshan Promontory last night did mnot hear sounds of firing. This leads to the supposition that the re- ports of guns heard here last night cdme from a naval battle 'southeast of Port Arthur. Chinese who hnve arrived here re- port that the Japinese army is within seven miles of K1iping and that the Russians have falfen back to Yamchia- tien, just north of Kaiping, where the fire of the Japantse gunboats cannot be effective. They say also that the Russis are intrenching at the an- cient eity of Newchwang, north of the port of Newchwang. i 2.8 LEAVES RESULT IN DOUBT. but Alexieff Reports Naval Combat, Telegraphs No Details. ST. PETERSBURG, June 26.—Un- der Wate of June 26 Viceroy Alexieff telegraphed the Emperor as follows: s “Our Port Arthur gquadron, com- manded by Rear_ Adrhiral Withoeft, consisting of six battleships, five cruis- ers and ten torpedo-boats, put to sea at 8 .o'clock on the morning of June 23. According to reports received from the signal stations on the Liaotshan Promontory, the ships went out with- out accident. When our vessels| reached open water the enemy fleet, consisting of nine large ships, hich three were battleships and twenty-two torpedo-boats, was sighted on the horizon. Our squadron attacked the enemy. Up to the present time I have received no news of the result of the fighting.” i PR BRITONS LAUD TOGO.

Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, June 26—Out of last evening’s fatal train wreck on the Sier ra road near Angels, in which two Stockton women lost their lives, comes a story of bravery and heroism on the part of Ted Melone, the local ball play- er, young man all but lost his life in an at- tempt to rescue Mrs, Joseph de Martini, ore of the women Kkilled. The story was brought to Stockton by Carlos Sampson, one of the ball players, who returned from thescene of the disaster at noon to-day. Samp- | son states that the screeching of the| runaway work train was heard about a minute before the crash came. A# soon as the passengers realized their danger there was a mad rush for the doors. Melone got clear of the rear platform, but turned back to pull one of the frightened women off the platform. The body of Mrs. de Martini was mashed to pulp and Melone was caught in the wreck- age. anr an hour and ten minutes the gritty ball player was pinned across the body of the woman he risked his life to save. He was caught by his right arm | and shoulder. While volunteers worked to extricate him Melone endured awful agony. "My God, get a gun and shoot me, boys,” he exclaimed, “I can’t stand this longer.” It was feared that it would be necessary to amputate his arm in order to release him. “Don’t let them cut my arm off,” was Melone's appeal to his comrades. The engineer on the work train is blamed for the accident. The railroad company will not divulge his name. The bodies of Mrs. Joseph de Martini and Mrs. Frank Valente, the victims, are still at Jamestown. The former will be brought to Stockton for burial, while the latter will be interred at Murphys. SIX THOUSAND PUT 10 DEATH Special Disps to The Call. LONDON, June 26—The Paris cor- respondent of the Daily Mail claims to’ have indisputable authority for his de- tails of recent events in Armenia. The villages of Darmet, Adekeppoun, Ar- nist, Kari, Votoka and Mekrokoum were sacked and burned. The inhab- itants in many cases were massacred and the corpses cast into wells, Mekrokoum was pillaged by Kurds, who were accompanied by Turkish sol- dlers. Tts church was plundered and profaned. Objects of worship were sold at auction. Every able-bodied man was stabbed, most of them in the back. During the night Turkish soldiers en- tered the houses and violated the women. On the arrival of the British and French Consuls the women rushed to them, begging for mercy. Judging from a trustworthy estimate founded upon an inquiry made by the British and French Consuls twenty- eight villages have been destroyed and 6000 persons massacred. ————— F HELD UP AND ROBBED.

CHICAGO, June 26.—Mr. and Mrs. George E. Dixon of La Grange were instantly killed to-day when their au- tomobile was wrecked by a collision twith an Interurban electric street car. An explosion of the gasoline tank fol- lowed and the victims’ bodies were drenched with falling oil and badly burned. The brakes of the electric car were destroyed and a dozen panic- stricken passengers were whirled along for more than a mile in momentary danger of death. Mr. and Mrs. Dixon were driving from the north and the car was going east. The booth of the motorman was go arranged that he could not well see vehicles er persons approaching from the Jeft. Beforé he was aware of the approach of the automobile from the front the machine was in the middle of the track. The car struck the automo- bile with terrific force and burled it forty feet away. As the vehicle struck the ground the gasoline tank exploded and threw blazing oil in all directions. Most of the burning fluid fell upon the | bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, who had been fearfully mutilated and instantly killed in the crash. Every passenger in the car was thrown down by the shock of the collision. The panic which en- sued was increased when the electric car began to race ahead at increased speed. The collision had made rakes useless and gave full play to the electric power. The motorman could do nothing, but he stuck to his post un- til the power was turned off, some one ‘having telephoned to the power house. —_——— BRITISH DRIVE TIBETANS OUT OF A MUD FORT SASTANO, Tibet, June 26.—the Tibe- night, having failed to blow up the post the previous night.

Glad Port Arthur Fleet Has Given Battle. \ Special Cable to The Call and New York Herald. Copyright, 1904, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. ST. PETERSBURG, June 26.—In St. Petersburg interest in the war is once again at high pressure. Great, indeed, is the jubilation here at the fact that the entire Russian fleet has been able to get out of Port Arthur. It comes as the best news in the course of the war. Military opinion is firmly of the belief that the Japanes are determined to force a battle. The apparent slowness in operaticns is due to the desire of both Kuroki and Oku to advance in- dependently. However, the difficulty of taking supplies over a broken country points to the probability that the bat- tle, which it is admitted cannot be The Siberian Drigade under General Kondratenko has joined General Stak- elberg, and combined with his force is falling back upon the north. The Rus- sians are terribly harassed by the chunchus, whHo are increasing in num- bers and audacity daily. Mistchenko's mission to stop thes juncture of Kuroki and Oku is said to have failed. s News from Newchwang is highly misleading. Several engagements end- ing unfavorably for the Russians, which have never taken nlace, have been re- ported from there lately. Such reports are brought by unreliable Chinese, who do a thriving business in selling sensa- tional news to correspondents. General Ma is said to have moved northward into Mongolia, which brings him nearer the seat of war and encour- ages the chunchus. The Russ says: “The chunchus are increasing daily under Japanese leaders, and keep Ren- nenkampff's entire force busy. The Chinese are doing everything to hamper our movements, even unrooting grow- ing crops.” TOLSTOI Flhe T T DENOUNCES CZAR. Russian Government. LONDON, June 27.—The Times this morning prints a ten-column dissefta- by Count Tolstoi in his most violent style. The trend of this remarkable docliment is, first, against all war; but it is practically a thunderous philippic against the Russian Government and the Russian orthodox church and gen- erally against the existing order of things. Tolstoi says that the reservists throughout Russia are “dissatisfied, gloomy and exasperated, and the old appeal for faith, King and fatherland hag' lost :its spell over the Russian masses.” * The ten columns breathe gloomy fore- bodings and vreach revolution. Tolstol holds the Emperor up to contempt as an ‘“‘unfortunate and entangled young man, recognized as the leader of 130, 000,000 people, cruelly deceived and com- | pelled to contradict himself.” ~Tolstol, however, does not stop with Russia, for Janan is given a share of his stinging comments for having forei- bly resisted what he terms the “unpro- voked aggression of Russia.” — e Must Maintain Fair Prices.

CRIMINALS SEEN WITH KINGSLEY Important Clew May Solve Mystery of Wealthy Ver- monter’s Disappearance IN TOW OF TWO THUGS Woman Who Saw Easily Identifies Suspeets’ Pictures in Rogues’ Gallery fo SDGEE B Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 26.—Positive that Henry Baxter ingsley, the week after his disappearance last November, was taken to his home in Paterson by two men whose photographs are in the Rogues' Gallery at police headquarters, Mrs. Hall of Paterson, in the Tombs Police Court to-day pointed out Frank L. Stewart, a prisoner, as one with whom she had seen the wealthy young Vermonter, for whose recovery, dead or alive, his family has offered a reward of $10,000. Another man, also with a criminal record, is being sought by the police, and Magistrate Pool’s action gave pub- licity to-day to the investigation which has been going on for two weeks, and which Inspector McClusky @id not wish to reveal until he had both the sus- pected men in custody. Mrs. Hall said that about November 25 of last year a man unknown to her previously had called at her house one night and asked to rent a room. He was shown one and promptly acdepted it and paid a week's rent in advance. He left and did not return until the week had almost expired. When the man returned he was accompanied by two others and one of them, she be- lieves, was Kingsley, the wealthy Vermonter. The missing man was of marked personal appearance—short, very bald and wore glasses—and Mrs. Hall's de- scription fitted that of Kingsley in every particular. The supposed Kingsley and his two companions remained in her home only about twenty minutes. Mrs. Hall said that during that time he wrote on a card for her: “Henry Baxter's two friends.” From €000 photographs at police head- quarters Mrs. Hall selected one of Frank L. Stewart, recorded as a sneak thief, and that of another man. Refer- ence to the records showed that Stew art had been frequently arrested for larceny here, once since the disappear- ance of Kingsley. The Inspector said that could be picked up. —_——————— MOSQUITOES AT PANAMA CARRIERS OF DISEASE both men Former Navy Surgeon Says Great Care Must Be Taken by Men Working on Canal. NEW YORK, June 26.—"It will re- quire extraordinarv precaution on the part of the officials in charge of the work of constructing the Panama canal to prevent serious illnes§ among the men employed there. The diseases most to be feared are vellow fever, inalarial fever and elephantiasis, near- ly every case of which is due to in- noculation by mesquitoes. If the offi- cials insist on the observance of some simple rules the danger from disease can almost be eliminated.” Dr. R. O. Marcour, who made -the above statement at New York Navy Yard to-day, has recently resigned from > naval service. In his six years’ service he has had varied ex- perience in tMe treatment of tropical fevers, having been stationed at Ha- vana and Samoa. He only recently returned from Panama. “The mosquitoes are to bhe feared more than anything else at Panama,” continued Dr. Marcour. “When I first went there we were having an average of five new cases of malaria reported every day. It was impossible to ascribe any reason for this at first. One night I made an inspection and found that very few of the men were using the mosquito nets which had been provided for them. I made a re- port on this and the men were ordered to use the nets properly and the spread | of disease was checked at once.” —_—e———— FLUME BURSTS AND TEN MEN LOSE THEIR LIVES Disaster Is Reported to Have Oc- curred at Logging Camp on Green River.
