TOKIO, July 8.—A belated report from Admiral Togo records a desperate and successful torpedo attack at the entrance of Port Arthur last Monday night, June 27, in which a Russian guardship and a Russian torpedo-boat The guardship is described as hav- ing two masts and three funnels.

Admiral Togo reports the loss of one officer and thirteen men killed and one officer and two men wounded. He makes no mention of damage to his fleet. The twelfth torpedo flotilla, under the command of Commander Yamada, de- | livered the attack, The Japanese ves- sels were revealed by the Russian searchlights and the shore forts opened a heavy fusillade upon them. The Russian guardship was sur- rounded and attacked by the Japanese, who saw this vessel sink amid the huge volumes of water thrown up by a heavy explosion. Following this the Russian torpedo-boat destroyers at once attacked the Japanese vessels, which responded to the onslaught. A Russian destroyer, while within the een to explode, rise, fall back into the water sideways and sink. The guardship sank near the base of Golden Hill. The cause of the delay by Admiral Togo in forwarding this report is not known, but it is presumed that he was busy and did not have time to com- municate with Tokio. Recent reports from Russian sources mentioned continued activity and sev- eral engagements by land and by sea near Port Arthur from June 24 to June 30. A Russian official report said that on the night of June 24-25 Japanese; torpedo boats approached the fortress at Port Arthur, and that on June 26 a Japanese land attack was supported by a cannonade from the warships. During the evening of June 29 the forts and batteries at Port Arthur opened fire on Japanese torpedo boats. A dis- patch from Chefu said a big battle was fought on land near Port Arthur on June 26 and 27. No mention, how- ever, has been made of Russian losses: to correspond with those reported by Admiral Togo. The Russian torpedo-boat destroyer, on the night of Tuesday, June 28, and reached Newchwang the next day. $he is believed to have l‘nrrf out with dis- nd St. Peters- burg. The Russian Foreign Office has given out a dispatch, dated June 30, announcing that the Russian warships safely re-entered Port Arthur after the fight of June 23 and that not one of them was damaged. Refugees from Port Arthur who have arrived recently at Chefu report that four Russian battleships, with gun- boats and torpedo boats, are kept in make excursions to sea. Foreigners who left Port Arthur the evening of July 1 reached Chefu on July 2. Their reports made no men- tion of the sinking of two Russian war- ships. Recent Russian denials of naval loss- es have been particularly directed to the statement contained in a previous report from Admiral Togo that on June 23 the Japanese inflicted serious losses upon the Russian fleet off Port Ar- thur. AR G AR MUTILATION OF THE DEAD. Japan Files Counter Charges Against the Russian Troops. WASHINGTON, July 3.—The Jap- anese legation to-day received the fol- “The chief of staff of the second army telegraphed as follows: “‘On June 15 a petty officer and other soldiers, six in all, belonging to the Eighteenth Infantry Regiment, en- countered while scouting about fifteen Russian soldiers at Chengtsushan and were killed after hand-to-hand fight- ing. On the death of these men the Russians thrust their bayonetg into their mouths and cut open their lungs and took away the contents of their pockets. “‘On June 27 Kobayashi Waichi, a first-class cavalryman belonging to the Third Cavalry Regiment, who was scouting at a point about four kilo- meters northeast of Heunicheng, was attacked by the Russians and fell dead on the ground. Thereupon about twenty-four cavalrymen surrounded the dead man and barbarously stabbed him several times. At this moment a company of our cavalry appeared upon the scene and the Russians fled, leav- ing the body of the man in our hands.” " e JAPAN NEEDS TRANSPORTS. Sparing No Money in the Acquisition of Steamships. VLADIVOSTOK, July 3.— Many Japanese fishermen taken from schooners in the recent raid of the Vladivostok squadron were sent to Irkutsk to-day. It is reported that the Japanese are having considerable difficulty with their large fleet of transports. They are said to be sparing no money and have monopolized all the free steam- ers in the Far East, German and Nor- wegian vessels being given preference. One of the wounded Japanese pris- oners who died was buried to-day. The coffin was covered with the Jap- anese flag and with wreaths given by the Russian sailors. A detachment of Siberian rifles formed an escort and military music was rendered. et g COUNTRY ONE VAST LAKE. Delayed Report From Kuroki's Camp Describes Heavy Rainfall. GENERAL KUROKI'S HEAD- QUARTERS, Thursday, June 30.—The Japanese occupied Maotien pass to-day unopposed. The Russians abandoned three strong lines of earthworks on the hills commanding the entrance to the pass. The foreign military attaches ac- companying the Japanese army ex- fered no resistance. It is regarded as probable that the Russians feared that their liné of retreat would be blocked by other civisions of the Japanese army. A three days’ downpour of rain made the whole country resemble a big lake and has delayed transporta- tion. Notwithstanding this, the ad- vance is continuinx. ———— According to a magazine devoted to engineering, the Yukon River, which is 2400 miles in length, is navigable by on Contending Armies. ST. PETERSBURG, July 4, 4:30 a. m. Official news up to July 2 indicates that the Japanese advance from the south has been suspended, along with all oth- er important moveéments at the seat of war, The authorities do not expect much more than desultory skirmishing until the weather improves. The situa- tion is considered satisfactory from the Russian standpoint. There is evidences of considerable sickness in the Japanese camps. It is expected here that the¢ Japanese will suffer more from the rainy weather than will General Kuropatkin's force. One of the most gstriking features of the situation is the lack of naval news from the Russian side, but it is pointed out that if the fleets had gone out such news would be naggrally slow in com- ing through Russiall sources. Lieutenant General Sakharoff, under date of July 2, reports minor outpost affairs and reconnaissances in the neighborhood of Siakhotau. General Sakharoff believes that dysentery is very prevalent ~ among the Japanese troops. On June 27 the Russian fire destroyed two Japanese guns and a caisson. There are fresh indications of a Japanese ad- vance near Siakhotau. According to the report Russian scouts have ascertained that a number of Korean soldiers are assisting the Japanese. > LIAOYANG, July 3.—The whole of Manchuria seems to have turned into a marsh, and the weather almost pre- cludes a movement by either side. It is reported that the Japanese are near Liaovang and a battle is expected when the weather vermits. The coun- try is such that a few days of sunshine will dry the roads. It is reported that 20,000 Japanese are working toward Mukden, but this is scarcely credited. LONDON, July 4—The' Central News has received the following from Tatche- kiao under date of July 3: “The weather is dry, but the Japa- nese are taking no action. The Chinese state that the Japanese lack victuals, medicines and forage. East of Kaichou the principal Japanese force have fallen back, abandoning their positions. There have been no notable changes on the road to Liaoyang.” According to a dispatch to the Cen- tral News from Mukden, dated July 3, it is reported that the Japanese are moving two divisions upon Liaoyang from Fenshui Pass. Pt o o S JAPANESE WORSHIP MIKADO. Bishop Says, the Little Brown Men Have No Religion. Bishop Partridge of Japan, during a sermon at Grace Church yesterday, spoke of the divorce of religion from morality in Japan and the substitu- tion, among the most intelligent Jap- anese, of patriotism for religion. “Many a Japanese had said to him,” asserted the Bishop, “I don’t need any religion; Japan is my religion, the Mikado is my God, what more do I need?” “It is impossible,” said Bishop Part- ridge, “for an Amegican to.form any idea of the appalling general vice that is a condition of Japanese life. The most vicious are the priests of the Buddhist faith. Christianity, how- ever, is gaining ground and many men high in social and national life are Christianps, i) i T JAPAN HAS STRANGE RUMOR. Report That Russia Has Offered to Surrender Port Arthur. TOKIO, July 4, 11 a. m.—It is re- ported that Russia has, through France, offered to surrender Port Ar- thur to Japan, together with its ships and arms there, providing the garri- son is freed. A confirmation of the re- port is impossible and it is generally regarded to be untrue. ey French Coal for Russian Fleet. PARIS, July 3.—The reports that France will permit the Russian Baltic fleet to take coal at French ports along the route to the Far East are officially verified. This will permit France to give notable evidence of her friend- ship for her ally. However, the privi- lege will be kept within the strict limits of international law. ————— Southern Cotton Spindles. A little more than ten years ago, 1890- 1891, says a writer in Gunton’s Maga- zine, there were in Southern cotton mills some 1,950,000 spindles, operated by approximately 30,000 hands. In 1903 there were in Southern cotton . mills 8,000,000 spindles, with about 130,000 hands to run them. At the earlier date the cotton mills in the South employed about one-seventh of all the cotton mill operatives in the country. Now that section finds labor for nearly one-half the whole number of hands engaged in cotton mills in the United States. In the ten years from 1892 -to 1902 the number of spindles in Northern mills Increased 1,750,000, while the increase in the South was 4,450,000 spindles. These figures set forth with an eloquence that must be convincing the ambition and determination of the South to enjoy, as far as possible, the profit and inciden- tal advantages to be secured by the conversion of the raw material they produce into cloth right where the cot- ton is raised.—New York Commercial.

OAKLAND, July 8.—From Port Ar- thur to Oakland is a far cry, but a chain of interesting revelations have connected the Manchurian seaport with the Athens of the Pacific. Through a complaint, which was made to the authorities, it has been | disclpsed that large quantities of ma- terlal from which explosives for the mines, land and submarine, used in de- ! stroying Japanese and Russian soldlers | and ships, are being manufactured in | a secluded corner of this city. The owners of the process will not admit that they have sold any of it | direct to the Russian or the Japanese | i governmfénts, but it is known, never- | theless, that more than 100 tons of | the composition was shipped to Port | Arthur to private consignees before the war began. Large quantities have also been forwarded to Chinese ports, there to be manufactured into an ex- plosive equal in power to 60 per cent nitroglycerin. The discovery of fifty barrels of the compound in the back yard of D. De- martini’s residence, 627 Myrtle street, aroused great excitement this morn- | ing, and caused police and fire depart- ments to make an investigation. Louis Focacci, sziding at 653 Myrtle street, a few doors mnorth of the Demartini house, brought about the investigation by reporting To the Chief of Police his discovery that the back yard of his neighbor contained enough explosive material to destroy the entire town. OFFICERS INVESTIGATE. Captain of Police W. J. Petersen, ac- companied by Chief Engineer N. A. Ball of the Fire Department, went to the scene. They found in the rear of Demartini’s cottage fifty-two barrels filled with a mixture which had be#n given all kinds of mysterious force. Likewise did they find galvanized iron | tubs in the cottage cellar that had been used as mixing tanks. There lay the stuff, apparently menacing the city for blocks around. Focacci told this story to the officers “An old man living near here came to me to-day and told me that I should see that no fireworks were used around my place to-morrow, because the stuff in the barrels in Demartini’'s yard would blow up or get afire, and there would not be water enough in Oakland to put out the flames. “] went around and looked at the barrels and notified the police.” A. Cavagnaro, Lawrence Grondona and Tilston Owens, who had worked in the building at 6256 Myrtle street, where a large quantity of the compound was manufactured last year, told the police that it had been shipped to Russian and to Chinese ports in large quanti- ties. Sulphur, oils and bran were used in making it, and the process was care- fully handled by W. C. Quinby, one of the owners of the formula. Further in- quiry developed that Quinby, who is an expert chemist, residing at 2929 Lin- coln avenue, Alameda, is associated with R. D. Pike, a wholesale liquor merchant at 213 Battery street, San Francisco, in the enterprise. A. B. Fields, a broker of San Francisco, ap- peared as a third person interested in the enterprise. MANUFACTURERS ARRIVE. In the midst of the disturbance that Focacci’s complaint caused Quinby and Fields sauntered into the Demartini cottage. 3 “Let me set your minds at ease,” said Quinby. “This stuff is not explosive. But it will be after it has been treated | in China, where the shipment you see here is going. Those barrels contain about ten tons of what we call ‘dope.’ It is a patented composition to be used as a base for high or low grade explo- sives, as may be desired by the pur- chasers of it. I am the patentee and Pike is a half-owner in the formula. The compound is composed of sulphur, fixed carbon, hydro-carbon and nitro- benzol. It is, in its present state, as harmless as a cooing dove. ‘‘Mixed with either chlorate of pot- ash, nitrate of potash or nitrate of soda it becomes an explosive and can | be made equal to 60 per cent nitroglyc- | erin. In its high form it is known as| ‘dragonite.” | “‘So much for the explosive. I manu- | factured this ‘dope’ at Sobrante and | also in San Francisco before coming to Oakland. It is being handled by A. B. Fields. I am under contract not to sell any in this country. Of course, you have heard of the powder trust. I am not in it. My patents cover for- eign countries.” That fully 100 tons of the stuff have been sent to Port Arthur was admitted by Fields, who said: “I have been shipping the ‘dope,” as | Quinby calls it, to private consignees | in the Orient. It can be used for mines as well as for blasting, or other pur- poses for which explosives are utilized. ‘Where this base compound goes after it is sold I am not in a position to say. It has been shipped regularly on the Pacific liners, and you may be sure:that if it were a dangerous ma- terial we could not send it on them. The steamship people, as well as the authorities, have investigated it. EXPRESS SURPRISE. “Mr Quinby and myself came over to-day to see whether this lot was ready for shipment. We had no idea of the excitement its discovery provoked. “Yes, a lot of it has been sent to Port Arthur, and I presume has been used in making land and submarine | mines. The Japanese could also have | purchased it from the individuals to | whom it has been shipped. Under no | circumstances can it be classed as con- traband of war, and I do not see where we can be involved in any difficulty over a violation of the neutrality laws. The stuff is going now to Chinese ports, and is, of itself, a harmless substnce.” “I want to add,” interrupted Chem- ist Quinby, “that this material is not inflammable in its present state, that is, not dangerously so. In mixing it and packing the compound I permit ! the men to smoke and I smoke myself when weighing out the ingredients.” Explanations were made to the police and to the fire department officials this afternoon,y and these tended toallay the intense excitement that had been created. SSliageny DENIES SHIPPING POWDER. SAN RAFAEL, July 3.—B. D. Pike was interviewed by a Call reporter late this afterndon at the Hotel Rafael, | where he is staying with his family. ‘When asked if he was the financial backer of the movement to ship powder to Port Arthur he said: “I have pat- ents for powder, but have shipped none to Port Arthur and have no intention of doing so. If I were to ship any I should prefer to send it to the Japan- ese.” ‘When, informed that the Oakland po- lice had confiscated the powder, he smiled and said: “The Warrels do not contain powder. If the police have ta- ken possession of ‘the barrels thinking they contain powder, let them think s0." He emphatically refused to . state ‘what-the barrels contain, — ~_ o LOVE SURVIVES | TOGO SINKS TWO RUSSIAN WARSHIPS; [F[N)S (RGANS ON WRONG SIDE Examination by Physician Shows That Chicago Man Is an Anatomical Freak BRI W Tk CURIOUS FACT REVEALED X-Ray Discloses That the Heart, Liver and Stomach | of Patient Are Misplaced | el b LR Special Dispatch- to The Call. CHICAGO, July 3.—Michael Kappel, residing at 514 Clybourne avenue, when examined for lite insurance to-day was found to be an anatomical freak. Through an X-ray examination Dr. Adolph Decker discovered that all of Kappel's internal organs occupy exact- | ly opposite positions to those of the ordinary man. His heart is on the right side, his liver is on his left side and his | stomach is on his right side. Kappel lives with his wife and three children and is in perfect health. Before he came to this country he served two terms in the German army without the surgeons ever discovering the displace ment of his organs, and had he not wished to insure his life he probably never would have known of the de-| formity. Dr. Decker, who has made a special study of Kappel and other cases of this kind, says that sitres inverses, as the deformity is called, is very rarely found. The first case was discovered by a noted English physician, Dr. Aber- nethy, about 1790, in the body of a dead child. Dr. Decker says that usually in such cases the person is left-handed also, but Kappel is not, As far as ap- pearances go he is the same as any other man. g LA S R SEES GERMAN REPUBLIC LOOMING UP IN FUTURE /A Seer Consulted by the Kalser, as Was Done by His Grand- father. King William, grandfather of the present German Emperor, was told a few months before his accession to the throne of Prussia by a Berlin prophet- ess the year when he would becdme Emperor and also the year of his death. The King, she said, would be- come Emperor in 1871, because this was the date obtained by adding to 1849, the year in which he had come to the throne, the numerals (22) of which 1849 was composed. She then said that he would certainly die in 1888, since this was the date obtained by adding to 1871, the year in which he would become Emperor, the numerals (17) of which 1871 was composed. The present Emperor has pondered at times over this prophecy, and recently he consulted a seer, who arrived at re- sults in the same manner and who as- | sured him that if he desired to know the year in whicll Germany would be come a republic all that he need dot was to add to 1888, the year of his grandfather’'s death, the numerals of ‘which 1888 was composed. The numerals of 1888 added together (1 plus 7 plus 8 plus 8) are equal to 25, and the Emperor, by adding this 25 to 1888, learned that 1913 was the year in which, according to the seer, the em- pire would be overthrown in Germany and a republie established in its stead. —Chicago Chronicle. —_——— ‘Water in Street Railroads.
