VILLEFRANCHE, France, Aug. 7.— The American FEuropean squadron commanded by Rear Admiral Jewell sailed for Smyrna this morning. WASHINGTON, Aig. 7.—No further action was taken by the State Depart- ment to-day as regards the strained relations between the United States and Turkey. It developed, however, that the purpose of the State Depart- ment in sending Rear Admiral Jewell, in command of the European squad- ron, to Smyrna, was more serious than was at first supposed. Admiral Jewell, it is intended, shall act in full accord with Minister Leishman, but if ad- vised by the latter that he is unable to obtain satisfactory answers from the Sultan United States warships are expected to make an immediate for- midable showing. The general view of the situation as expressed here is that the Sultan is the im of some unwise counsel Certain reports have gone out from the United States to the effect that this Government was only “bluffing” in connection with the sending of the fleet to Turkey. State Department officials feel con- fident that the appearance of the Euro- pean squadron at Smyrna will be suf- ficient to impress the Suitan with the fact that the United States means busi- ness.

TE° SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST R &, 1902, RUSSIAN COUNCIL OF WAR DECIDES TO RISK A COMBAT AT Kuropatkin Accepts Chal- . lenge to Battle and Con- flict Is Near. Japanese Are Advancing to Attack Foe’s Position at Mukden. LIAOYANG, Saturday, Aug. 6.—The Japanese are advancing on Mukden and it is probable that a simultaneous attack will be made on Mukden and Liaoyang, in which case a decisive bat- tle is assured. LIAOYANG, Thursday, Aug. 4.— Liaoyang is in no immediate danger, though the Russians have been com- pelled to fall back, owing to the su- perior numbers of the Japanese. A Russian cavalry division was until to- day in contact with the enemy south of Anshanshan. The Japanese did not capture any rolling stock at Haicheng. It is rumored here that the Japanese are changing their base to New- chwang. Though apparently beaten at every point and though the Japanese have advanced well on the Russian flank, the Russians in council of war have determined to defend all their positions as heretofore. All the foreign at- taches and newspaper correspondents are hurrying to the lines. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 7.—General Kuropatkin, in a telegram to the Em- peror, dated August 6, reports a recon- naisance on August 5 on the south front, in the direction of the Japanese positions. The Russians set fire to the village of Henchuantsa, thirteen miles northeast of Newchwang, from which place a small force of Japanese fled precipitately, leaving their transport animals. o Fle s AP TR SHIP'S CAPTAIN ENTRAPPED. Sensational Incident of the Knight Commander Hearing. VLADIVOSTOK, Aug. 7.—The evi- dence on which the British steamship Knight Commander, sunk by the Vlad- ivostok squadron, was condemned by the prize court was contained in a letter-copying book taken from a press in the captain’s cabin. This book had not’ been delivered when the captain surrendered the other documents and it proved conclusively to the Russians that the cargo of railway material car- ried by the Knight Commander was destined for Chemulpo and not for private firms in Japan. Before the prize court the captain was not compelled to take an oath, the president of the court saying that he would accept his word of honor as a gentleman. The captain testified that neither he nor the owners of the Knight Com- mander knew that the cargo was con- traband and that they believed it was not destined to be used as war ma- terial. He was then confronted with his own letter bock and was dazed for a mo- ment. He then exclaimed: “Heavens! I thought that book was at_the bottom of the sea.” The Knight Commander was prompt- 1y condemned, MUTILATION OF WOUNDED. upply Proof of v Barbarity.

One of the cases cited was that of the condition of af- fairs found at Iwo on July 3. It was declared by the surgeons that the head e soldier was skinned by while the blood was yet in full circulation. Four cases in the vicinity of Siamatsza were report- ed in which the surgeons asserted that the bodies were bayoneted and disfig- ured after the victims had fallen wounded. The publication of these statements has created a feeling of intense resentment here. AR BN Lt WILL NOT INTERFERE.

This notifica- tjon was accompanied by assurances that the vessels would preserve the character of merchantmen through- out the voyage. To avoid difficulty it alse included | a textual reproduction of the Russian declaration in_the official note ad- dressed to the Russian embassy. e SEIZURE OF ASPHALT BEDS ACCOMPANIED BY VIOLENCE Venezuelan Soldiers Who Went With the Receiver Loot Stores and Menace Americans. Special Cable to The Call and New York Herald. Copyright, 1904, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Aug. 7.— One hundred Venezuelan soldiers went with A. H. Cazner, who, as receiver, seized the asphalt beds of the New York and Bermudez Company at Lake Ber- mudez. The soldiers committed vio- lence, Mr. Bartlett, the company’s manager at the asphalt beds; Mr. Kuhn, Mr. Scott and twenty more Americans were first menaced and then arrested, being detained eight days. Stores were looted and a safe was blown open. The English negroes who had refused to work were forced to do so at the point of the bayonet. The Trinidad Government has requested the foreign office in London to send gunboats to protect the negroes. e AUTOMOBILE ACTS LIKE A RED FLAG ON BULL Bovine Charges Full Tilt at Machine and Strikes It Between the from Long Island was progressing so- bérly westward through Fifty-seventh street to-night.

Four hundred and sixty-four trains enter and leave the New York Central St. Petersburg’s Populace Cheered by News From Port Arthur. R Japanese Failure to Reniove the Dead Indicates Se- vere Reverse. —_— ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 8.—The of-' ficial report from Lieutenant General Stoessel, commanding the military forces at Port Arthur, says that the Japanese were repulsed with tremen- dous losses in a three days’ fight, from July 26 to July 28. General Kuropatkin reports some Russian successes in outpost fighting on August 5, without the expected great battle having opened. The simultaneous receipt of favor- able news from these commanders in the Far East raised the spirits of the populace of the Russian capital im- mensely. The dispatches were printed in special newspaper bulletins and were eagerly bought on the streets. Newsboys around the depots met the | strong crowds of Sunday pleasure seekers and shouted their wares with- out being reproved by the police and thousands of St. Petersburgers went to their homes to-night apparently sat- isfied that a favorable turn of affairs had commenced at the front. General Stoessel's dispatch, though ten days old, is taken as a satisfactory refutation of the recently repeated rumors of the fall of Port Arthur. He says that the determined Japanese as- saults were repulsed with tremendous losses and figures 10,000 as the number of Japanese killed or wounded. This is admittedly on Chinese information, which, heretcfore, has proved of doubt- ful value. But with Russian losses of 1500 as a basis, the authorities here consider that 10,000 is a fairly conserv- ative estimate, since the Japanese were beaten off in what must have been a desperate assault on tremendously strong fortifications. The fact that the Japanese were not able to remove their dead and wounded is taken to prove that their defeat must have been one of great severity. The part played by the fleet bears out the prediction that Rear Admiral Withoeft is able to render efficient sup- port to the garrison. It is considered sigfificant that no mention is made of Vice Admiral Togo, indicating that the Japanese fleet is impotent to aid friends or injure foe. Possibly the bulk of the fleet has been detached for other ser- vice, though this would not be likely at a time when a serious land assault on the fortress was contemplated. The authorities do not divulge the source of General Stoessel's report, though it is understood that it came by way of Chefu., The fact that the Japanese are in possession of the country Is far north as Haicheng ren- ders it unlikely that it came by the land route. General Kuropatkin's report states that the Japanese are stationary on his eastern front, the greatest activity being on the south and southeast posi- tions, where the Russians are able to take the offensive. While the move- ments in themselves are apparently of no great importance, they are interest- ing as showing that the Japanese are still halting before undertaking the se- rious task of attacking Liaoyang, with its strong circle of defenses. : 7 DIAZ TO TOUR [NITED STATES Mexico’s President Is Anx- ious to Visit This Coun- try and Meet Financiers AT S Thomas N. McCauley, who rose from ‘an ordinary farmer's lad to the posi- tion of president of the International Mercantile Agency of New York and a director in other prominent institutions of the Empire State, arrived here yes- terday with his wife and is registered at the St. Francis. He and his wife and a party of friends have been visit- ing MexXico, where McCauley is inter- ested in several enterprises. While in the capital of the neighboring republic McCauley was introduced to: President Diaz and the newly electeq Vice Pres- ident, Ramon Corral. During a formal talk with Diaz he was informed that the President of Mexico is sincere in his recent announcement of his inten- tion to visit this country shortly. Mec- Cauley was informed by Diaz that the ftinérary of the President’s proposed trip includes San Francisco. Captain Diaz, son of the President, while entertaining the New Yorker, re- ferred to the cordial feeling entertained by his father for Americans, and as- sured his guest that nothing would please the chief executive of the re- public of Mexico more than an extend- ed trip through the United States. It is the main purpose of President Diaz to visit the principal cities of this country with a view to meeting lead- ing financiers with the hope of encour- aging them to invest their capital in the southern republic, where American enterprise is already lending much as- sistance in the)development of th mining and other industries. McCauley, who was accompanied on his visit to President Diaz by the United States Embassador, joined the latter in assuring the President that a trip through the United States would be attended by demonstrations of friendliness that would convince the visitor that Americans are wholly in sympathy with him in his administra- tion of the affairs of his own country and fully appreciate the treatment he has accorded citizens of the United ‘States. . Vice President Corral, who has fre- quently visited San Francisco, has been constantly urging President Diaz to make a tour of the States, and McCau- ley savs the President has become en- thusiastic over the prospect of a pleas- ant journey in the north. Among the properties in Mexico in which McCauley is interested is the Des Rios plantation, which is owned by the Mexican Gulf Commercial Com- pany, of which he is the president. It is his intention to return to Mexico in - few months. ' ——————— 'E FIRE RAGING IN OLD QUARTER OF CITY Orphan Asylum and the Magdalene __Church Are Destroyed in Strasburg.

LIAQYANG Torpedo-Boat Destroyers in an Exciting Brush at Port Arthur. - i Three Japanese Vessels Put Eleven Russian Craft to Flight. TOKIO, Aug. 7.—Admiral Togo re- ports an exciting torpedo-boat destroy- er fight which took place off Port Ar- thur on Friday evening, August 5. The Japanese torpedo-boat destroyers Akebono and Oboro approached the entrance of the harbor for the purpose of reconnoitering. Fourteen Russian torpedo-boat destroyers dashed out, | separated, and endeavored to surround | the Japanese boats. The latter broke through the cordon, however, driving off three of the Russian boats. At this point the Japanese torpedo- | boat destroyer Inazuma joined the othér two and the three turned and spiritedly attacked the eleven Russian boats,. The latter retired within the | harbor. The Japanese boats were un- injured. The damage to the Russian ships is unknown. 3 Admiral Togo congratulated lhe‘ men and officers of the three Japan- | ese boats on attacking and causing the retreat of a superior number of the enemy’s ships. | P R JAPANESE PRAISE KUROPATKIN. Surprised at Hls_‘;‘gcnpc from the | Trap Their Generals Had Set. | TOKIO, Aug. 7.—General Kuropat-| Kin's success in extricating his army | from Liaotung Peninsula without dis- aster has elicited much praise from | the Japanese. The concentration of his | army at Kaichou at one time seemed certain to involve it in disaster. It was popularly believed that a great and decisive battle would be fought either at Tatchekiao or at Haicheng. It is considered here that Kuropatkin sacrificed his prestige by abandoning an immense territory without 4 battle. He was forced to abandon or destroy valuable stores and munitions of war when transportation was the most se- rious problem to the Russians. He also impaired the morale of the army, but he preserved his men and guns. It is evident that Kuropatkin had hoped and planned to check the Jap- | anese at Tatchekiao. Then, after hold- ing the enemy in check, it is believed to have been his purpose to concen- trate his remaining force at Liaoyang and to strike Kuroki. The unexpect- ed loss of the Russian left at Tatche- kiao and the appearance of the Jap- anese Takushan army on the flank forced the abandonment and surren- der, without a fight, of Yinkow, Hai- cheng and Newchwang. It is generally believed that the crisis | will come shortly at Liaoyang and that | Kuropatkin will be forced to give bat- | tle, whatever his present purpose may | be. General Oku's and the Takushan | ! armies are pressing northward and General Kuroki is close at hand, ready to take any part necessary in the gen- eral Japanese play. { ‘The possession of Yinkow (the port of Newchwang) has enormously sim- plified the transportation problem for | the Japanese. It gives their two ar-| mies a freedom_ of movement which ! they have not heretofore possessed. ' The Japanese are speedily repairing the railroad, which tke Russians failed | to seriously damage in their hasty re- | treat. | ST A B 0N HUNDREDS OF RUSSIANS DEAD. | Kuroki’'s Soldiers Bury Large Num- ber of the Czar's Soldiers. TOKIO, Aug. 7.—General Kuroki reports that he buried the bodies of | 512 Russians on the battlefields of | Yushulikzu and Yangtzuling. He re-| ports the capture of 268 Russians, | eight of whom were officers in these | actions. One hundred and fifteen of | the prisoners were wounded. . e NO NEWS IS RECEIVED { OF OUTBREAK IN BOGOTA American Legation at Panama Knows | Nothing of Rumored Attack on Charge d’Affaires.

Snyder, the Charge d'Af- faires. The American Minister be- lieves that the consulate was stoned and that it was the act of irresponsi- ble persons, caused by the feeling agalnst the United States in Colom~ bia.

Donetto, the police be- lieve, is a member of the “Black Hand” Society, which for some time has ter- rorized residents of the Italian district here, extorting money from them by threats and acts of violence. Donetto was himself more severely injured by the bomb than any of the others, one leg being badly torn. Two rival saloon-keepers on opposite street corners were giving away beer in an effort to outdo each other, and a crowd surrounded each place. Peter Dimero, who was acting as doorkeeper at one of the saloons, says that Donetto approached him and demanded money, | was refused. He immediately pocket, lighted its fuse and threw it. An explosion followed and men, women place. Donetto was knocked down, but soon recovered sufficiently to be able to get away. When the police went to arrest him to-day he threatened to commit suicide. Several children were injured slightly | and one man’s chin was blown off. So far as the police have been able to learn no one was fatally hurt. £ ——————F KNIGHTS RIDE FIERY STEEDS The California Commandery | Takes “First Lesson in| Clinging to Frisky Nags i b of | The California Commandery Knights Templars got into the going yesterday morning.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. T7.—Ths States in the cotton belt are facing a labor famine of immense proportions. The planters of the various States have been co-operating in haste to ob- tain, labor for the opening of the crop season and the results are disappoint- ing. In eight of the heaviest cotton pro- ducing States there is pressing need of 2,000,000 more laborers, not alone for cotton picking, but for ratlroad and in- dustrial development. Reports from these eight States made to the co- operation bureau place the shortage of laborers absolutely necessary at this time at an even two million. To-day an additional score of labor agents representing Mississippl and Georgia planters left for the Northern and Eastern cities to buy contract la- bor in as large numbers as possible. Urgent telegrams were also dispatched in frantic haste to the labor agents al- ready in these cities to make extraordi- nary efforts to get thousands of men. _——————————— STREETS OF BOULDER CREEK ARE GOLD LINED Discovery by Sewer Excavators Causes Great Excitement Among the People. BOULDER CREEK, Aug. 7.—Con- tractors engaged in laying the city sewers here have struck a great de- posit of gold-bearing gravel. For over 1900 feet the sewer runs through a gold-bearing strata at a depth of nine feet and as yet with no bedrock in sight. From all appearances the town is situated upon the ancient river bed of the San Lorenzo River. The streets are being dug up in frantlc efforts to secure all the hidden wealth possible before the City Council takes such ac- tion as will prevent further spoilation of the city’s streets. Owing to a flaw in the act estab- lishing the streets and grades there is no way to prevent the property- owners from closing the streets and working their frontage. Men, women and children are’lined up along the sewer excavation, washing the pre- cious dirt with pans, buckets, tubs and any means procurable. Many are making good wages, the schools are closed and every one has joined in the scramble for wealth. —_———.——— CHINESE REFORM SOCIETY ORGANIZED IN WASHINGTON Celestials Form Association, It Is Said, for Purpose of Getting Rid of Dowager Empress.
