Although it was authoritatively stated | vesterday that the Malacca had al-| ready reached Suda Bay, it now trans- pires that when the Malacca sailed from Port Said she was bound for Al- giers. Unless orders are delivered to her on the way she will upon arriving there find an order to proceed to Suda Bay, where, under the agreement| reached by Great Britain and Russia, an examination of her cargo will be made by the Russian and British Con- | suls. The apparent delay in the delivery of orders to the captains of the St. Peters- burg and the Smolensk explains the seizure of the Scandia and the Ardov. Great Britain having formally raised the question of the status of the St. | Petersburg and the Smolensk, the For- eign Office has called a meeting of lead- ing officials of the Admiralty to con- sider the subject. This conference is| | now in progress. The dificulty will be lsubmmed to the Emperor. The Russian Government has given | formal assurances to Germany that there will be no repetition of the Prinz | Heinrich incident. Whether this in- ‘rludvsrr definite notification that the converted volunteer fleet steamships now in the Red Sea will cease stopping neutral vessels is not yet clear, al- though it is belleved it does. While not admitting the illegality of the action of the Russians in convert- ing vessels of the volunteer fleet into warships after they had reached the Red Sea, it is probable, in view of the fact that neutral ships did not receive previous notice, that Russia, in order to remove the shadow of a cloud upon their right to fly the war flag, will for- | mally notify the powers of their con- version into warships, thus putting all neutrals upon their guard. In the meantime all the ships seized will be | released unless the captains refuse to| show their manifests, in which event the procedure in the case of the Malac- ca will be followed. S P BERLIN'S RAGE GROWS. News of the Scandia’s Seizure Adds Fuel to the Flame. SUEZ, July 23.—The steamship Scan-| dta, in charge of a Russian prize crew, | has entered the canal. | PORT SAID, July 23.—The Penin- sular and Oriental Company’s steam- ship Ceylon, homeward bound from| Yokohama and Penang, has arrived | here. She reports that the cruiser St.| | Petersburg, of the Russian volunteer squadron, signaled her on July 18 when | 20 hours from Suez, asking her where | she was from and whither she was bound, after which the Ceylon was al- | lowed to proceed. The St. Petersburg at that time was convoying a German merchant ship, BERLIN, July 22.—The news of the| eizure of the Scandla arrived here| {too late for comment in most of the| | afternoon papers. The Lokal Anzeiger, | the Tageblatt and the Post, however, commented on the event and assumed | an Indigant tone. The Tageblatt heads its account: “Another Exhibition of| Russian Friendship,” and says it be-| lieves the seizure will awaken the more | indignation, since Russia has already | yielded in the Malacca case, and ex- presses the hope that Russia will not lose & moment in sending orders to re- lease the Scandia, as otherwise Ger- | dignation at Russia’s course. has no warships in the Red Sea and! different attitude toward Russia, add- ing: “After Bngland has obtained satis- | faction so speedily, it would be a double moral defeat for Germany if she could not compel the same respect as the English flag.” The Post, evidently verbally inspired by the Foreign Office, characterizes the selzure as another exhibition of Rus- sian recklessness and predicts it will stir up much bad blood in Germany. “It will,” adds the Post, “make dip- lomatic relations between Russia and Germany, which are already bad, much worse.” The Foreign Office has cabled to the German Consul at Port Said for an au- thentic version of the capture of the Scandla and is awaiting his answer be- fore making representations at St. Petersburg. The officials discuss the case with an evident attempt to keep cool, but they betray deep-seated in- the question of sending vessels there has not yet been considered, but the officlals plainly Intimate that this ques- tion must arise unless Russia speedily order the captains of her volunteer fleet steamships to cease molesting German shipping. The officials refer to the en- ergetic language of the German press as fully justifiable. The seizure of the Scandia is regarded as being so exces- sively unreasonable that the Govern- ment officials try to assume that the captain of the Russian ship exceeded | his instructions and that Russia will make speedy amends. The Lokal Anzeiger regards the seiz- ure of the Scandia as being a much more serious act of violence then the Prinz Heinrich case. IR T NO CONTRABAND FOR JAPAN. Hamburg-American Company Says Scandia’s Seizure Is Inexplicable. HAMBURG, July 23.—The officlals of the Hamburg-American line declare that the seizure of their steamship Scandia by the Russians is inexplicable, as her manifests show she did not carry any kind of war material for Japan. The company has asked the Foreign Office to take up the case and demand an explanation. The company has made the following statement: “The capture of the Scandla appears to be inexplicable. Her manifests show that no war material in any form for Japan was on hoard. The Hamburg- American Company at the beginning of the war instructed its representatives to make it their special duty not to ac- cept contraband for transmission. The Hamburg - American Company has asked the Foreign Office to initiate the steps necessary to clear up this dis- agreeable incident.” The Scandia belongs to the East In- dian service of the Hamburg-American line. The Scandia has aboard a consign- ment of ammunition, a portion of which it is asserted was to have been landed at Singapore for trans-shipment to Ger- man Government stations in the South Seas. The other portion was billed to Shanghai for the Chinese Government. The presentation of a complaint at Port Said is difficult, owing to the fact that the German Consul there also rep- resents Russia. el BRITAIN NOT APPEASED. Intends to Settle the Status of Volunteer Fleet Vessels. LONDON, July 23.—Count Bencken- dorff, the Russian Embassador, has received official notification from St. Petersburg reporting the capture of two more British ships in the Red Sea, and instructions from his Government to notify Great Eritain that the same procedure will be followed as in the case of the Malacca—namely, that the the ADVERTISEMENTS.

Details of the en- gagement are not yet known. The Japanese have left only two divi- slons at Kaichou. These are strongly intrenched and on the defensive. Other | Japanese troops formerly at Kaichou were embarked on transports for the | vicinity of Port Arthur. The capture ! of that stronghold has become a vital | question for the Japanese. They have | | been able hitherto to adopt the offen- sive, but they realize that General Kuropatkin himself will be prepared | soon to take the offensive and foresee that they must have a strong naval base. Port Arthur is the key to all Japanese operations. SINTZINTIN, seventy miles east of Mukden, Manchuria, July 23.—Accord- ing to reports from Chinese sources Sigow Pass, ten miles north of Sai- matsza, is held by more than 5000 Jap- anese infantry and artillery. It is be- | lieved that this column has engaged the Russian force proceeding from Sai- matsza westward. The Japanese are moving up their reserves to reinforce the Sigow Pass column, which is ex- rival of the reinforcements. Heavy can- nonading was heard on July 18. Reports to the effect that 20,000 Jap- anese have appeared at Hualyenship, four miles to the east, are believed to be inventions spread by the Japanese, with the aid of the Chinese. ST. PETERSBURG, July 23.—Gener- al Kuropatkin reports in a dispatch to the Emperor that a detachment of Russlan troops commanded by Colonel Tsybulsky gave battle In the Sybel Pass on July 17 to a superior force of Japanese. The engagement resulted in PO RS A, | g the retirement of the Russiana with the | LA KEN loss of an officer and forty-six. men killed and four officers and 182 men wounded. In another fight on the Mukden road on July 19, several companies of dis- mounted Cossacks offered a stubborn resistance to the Japanese advance guard. ' The Russians fell back on Siaosyr. One man was killed.and thir- teen wounded. The Japanese suffered considerable losses. General Kuropatkin, in a report to the Emperor under date of July 22, says FROM FUNERAL T0 PRISON CELL Omaha Woman Arrested for Forgery After Witness- | ing Father’s Interment i‘O CITY JAIL Warrant Charges That She Signed Name of Million- aire to a Bogus Note —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. OMAHA, Neb., July 23.—At the con- clusion of her father’s funeral this aft ernoon Mrs. T. F. O’'Brien, only daugh- everything is quiet and there has been | ter of the late Patrick Ford, a respect- no change on the southern front of the Russian forces or on the Siuyen road. He proceeds to describe thé advance made on July 21, by his order, from Tkhavuen eactward along the stage road toward Chindiapudza and south- ward along the valley of the Liang River toward Suyantanza. The Rus- sians, harassed by small bands of Japanege, continued their advance on on their fleld fortifications east of the the Lakho Pass. At 9:30 o'clock in the morning the Russian artillery opened fire on the pass, which is surmounted by a temple, and the advance was continued a few kilometers along the stage road with- out encountering the enemy. General Kuropatkin adds that up to the after- noon of July 22 he had received no fur- ther report. On July 21 three battalions of Japan- ese occupied Siassyre and sent outposts from there along the left bank of the Taltse. TATCHEKAIO, Friday, Rain has been falling in torrents here for two days and movements of both ussians and Japanese have been sus- pended. The real rainy season seems to have set in. On the eastward the situation is quiet, vessels will be taken to a neutral port for examination by the Consuls of the two nations concerned. The effect of the additional seizures upon the British Government has been to intensify its determination to settle the status of the volunteer fleet ves- sels. It is understood that the dis- patch of the British cruiser Venus to the Red Sea and a number of torpedo- boats to FPort Said is an earnest of the Government's intention to protect com- merce. No warlike instructions have been given the commanders, but the Venus will closely watch the procedure of the volunteer fleet vessels. Som= diplomatic circles regard this as being | in the nature of a threat to Russia, but the Russian diplomats In London ex- press no concern. Embassador Benckendorff, in his communications to Foreign Secretary Lansdowne, has not dealt with the : general question of the Dardanelles. It is pointed out in Russian circles that the subject is receiving consideration in St. Petersburg, and it is asserted | that Russia will not abandon the right, which she claims, to send volunteer fieet vessels through the Dardanelles and to transform them subsequently into auxiliary cruisers, although no more ships are likely to be sent out of the Black Sea at present. o . e RECALLS AMERICAN French Press Refers to Incidents of Late War With Spain. PARIS, July 23.—Official advices in- dicate that the Anglo-Russian incident is proceeding toward an adjustment. Foreign Minister Delcasse's efforts have been to keep the affair within diplomatic lines and so prevent some overt act of British reprisals, which might precipitate serious international complications. These efforts are now considered as having accomplished their object. Delays in the future will be those naturally incident to a dip- lomatic settlement of the controversy. In connection with the anxiety in the United States over a possible seiz- ure of American merchantmen carry- ing supplies to Yokohama, the French newspapers recall the American seiz- res of the French merchantmen Lafayette and Olinde Rodriguez during the Spanish war. It is asserted that negotitions over these cases brodght the United States and France to ac- cord a general recognition of the right of selzure. It is also pointed out that the seizure of French ships did not arouse such excitement in France as that recently shown in England. § PR TURKEY WILL NOT INTERFERE. Bosphorus Is Open to the Passage of Russlan Vessels, CONSTANTINOPLE, July 23.—If Great Britain undertakes to prevent the passage of the Dardanelles by ves- sels of the Russian volunteer fleet she will have to do so without the assist- ance or the moral support of Turkey. The Sultan’s attitude was stated fully yesterday by Tewfik Pasha, the For- eign Minister, when he visited the British Embassador, Sir Nicholas O’Connor. Tewfik Pasha declared that the Porte could not refuse to allow Russian volunteer fleet steamships to pass through the Dardanelles when unarmed and flying the commercial flag. With the action of the steam- SEIZURES. ships, once they had passed the Dar- danelles, the Minister said, the Porte ‘was not concerned. —_—— JAPAN’S NAVAL PROGRAMME. Holding the Larger Ships in Reserve to Deal a Crushing Blow. ON BOARD THE MIKASA, AD- MIRAL TOGO'S FLAGSHIP, OFF PORT ARTHUR, July 17, via Fusan, Korea, July 23.—In reply to addresses made to him by newspaper correspond- ents who are on board the steamship Manchuria, Admiral Togo said modest- ly that he felt complimented to learn that the world was interested in his victories ‘and that it was his desire, through the press, to send his thanks to those persons who admired him. The Japanese naval policy is to hold the larger warships in reserve until the time comes to deliver a crushing blow | at Port Arthur. In the meantime tor- — harassing attacks. Every night the Japanese lay mines at the harbor en- trance. The entrance to the port is now clear. a tour of the theater of war with mem- bers of the Japanese Diet, foreign at- taches and newspaper correspondents on board. . T KOREAN UNREST INCREASES. Japan Forced to Adopt Stern Meas- ures Against the Populace. SEOUL, Korea, Friday, July 22.—The Korean agitation against the granting to the Japanese of the latter’s demands for waste lands is becoming serious, and daily meetings, attended by thou- sands of persons, are being held, at which the speakers urge moral resist- ance. Three such meetings were this week stopped by the presence of Jap- anse gendarmes. At a meting held to- day a =squad of soldiers marched through the crowd, and, although no violence was offered, the Koreans fled in disorder, several sustaining slight injuries in their wild efforts to clamber over walls in their flight. Farmers are coming in from the country to join in the protests. It is reported that the French min- ister here will protest to the Emperor against the Japanese demands. The leaders of the anti-Japanese propo- ganda are arrested frequently and held at the Japanese Consulate. The Jap- anese authorities say there Is no fear of rioting, but some of the foreigners here do not accept this view.

It is stated that while in Omaha Mrs. | O’Brien intended to apply for a divorce. | Her husband is alleged to have desert- | ed her in Canada. b | ——————— | RED CROSS FUNDS STOLEN. ' BERLIN, July 23.—Fresh scandals of | enormous proportions have arisen in connection with the management of the Russian national Red Cross funds. Eight million rubles (34,120,000) is miss- | ing from the central treasury, prac- tically sweeping away all the cash available for the needs of Kuropatkin's | army. | The loss came to light in consequence of the demand of the province of Cher- son for an acknowledgment of its con- | tribution of 100,000 rubles (351,500). An investigation of the books In St. Peters- | burg and Moscow revealed a discrep- ancy, which seems to be part of a sys- tem of thievery practiced since the be- ginning of the war. | Emperor Nicholas is reported to be enraged at the existence of such cor- ruption among the aristocratic classes | intrusted with the Red Cross arrange- ment. RS e Losses in Hsihoyen Battle. | WASHINGTON, July 23.—The Japa- nese legation has received a cablegram from the Foreign Office at Toklo stat- ing that General Kurokl reports that in the capture of Hsihoyen on July 18 and 19 his casualties were seventy-two killed, including two officers, and 452 wounded, including sixteen officers, the Russian casualties being estimated at 1000. | BT ERNE | Baltic Ships Ready for Sea.
