CERAORES Special Dispatch to The Call. LIAOYANG, Aug. 23.—Some move- ment of great moment is in course ot| preparation here. It is believed that General Kuropatkin, taking advantage of the weakness of Kuroki’s army, due to the sending of men and guns to aid the besiegers of Port Arthur, is about to take the offensive and risk a battle, | with the hope that he will be able to drive back the Japanese and create a diversion that will give the Port Ar- thur garrison a breathing spell. This would involve great risk, as Kuropat- kin is still greatly outnumbered, but some movement of the sort is being projected. According to the latest information from Porth Arthur a furious Japanese attack throughout August 19 and 20 was repulsed with terrific loss. This news was received here with the great- est joy. There has been no serious fighting in this region, but there has been a small skirmish at Anshanshan, where Japa- nese troops attacked a Russian outpost and were driven off with a loss of six killed. ! BERLIN, August 24—In a dispatch from Liaoyang, under date of August 23, the correspondent of the Lokal An- zeiger says: “The indications are that the initia- tive is about to pass to the Russians. The Japanese plan of campaign, in- cluding the attack upon Liaoyang, has apparently been deranged by the un- expectedly stubborn resistance at Port Arthur. “General Kuroki's army has been withdrawn to the south of Taitze River and only outposts are near the river. River valley. “It is rumored that the Mikado has recalled General Nodzu and has or- dered Field Marshal Marquis Yama- | gata, chief of the general staff at To- | kio, to assume command of the be-| siegers at Port Arthur.” EE S ALBION'S IRE STIRRED ANEW. Stopping of the Steamship Comedian Will Be Protested. LONDON, Aug. 23.—The Foreign Of- fice has ordered the British officials at | Durban, Natal, to make a complete re- | port of the circumstances connected with the reported examination of the papers of the British steamship Com- edian by a2 Russian auxiliary cruiser off the South African coast. If the re- port should confirm the statement that the Smolensk was the vessel that made the investigation, a vigorous pro- test will be made through Embassador Hardinge. In any event, if a Russian | cruiser actually held up the Comedian | the incident will be made the subject of representations, on the ground that the steamship was so far away from the scene of hostilities that there was not the slightest reason for her stop- page. The most important feature of the in- cident, however, is the identity of the cruiser. If the Smolensk actually ex- amined the Comedian’s papers she, ac- cording to the British officials, violated the assurances given by the Russian Government that neither she nor the §t. Petersburg would be used again as men of war. | ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 23.—It is impossible at this hour to obtain pre- cise information as to whether it was the Russian volunteer fleet steamship Smolensk or ‘another Russian cruiser which overhauled the British steam- ship Comedian off the South African coast on Sunday last. The War Commission states that no official report has been received and | the commission considers it highly im- probable that the vessel was the Smolensk. The opinion is held that it was more likely the auxiliary cruiser Don, which isa regularlycommissioned war vessel, and in this event the mem- bers of the War Commission declare no country can possibly take excep- tion to the exercise of the right of | scarch by this ship. DURBAN, Natal, Aug. 23.—The cap- tain of the British steamship Comedian has lodged a protest against the action of the Russian auxiliary cruiser Smo- lensk in stopping the steamship and examining her papers on Sunday last off the southeast coast of Cape Colony. LIVERPOOL, Aug. 23.—The owners here of the Comedian have no confirm- ation from the captain of the steam- ship of the'statement that it was the Russian anxillary eruiser - Smolensk that stopped the vessel off the coast of South Africa. ; o SENRAAT REMAINS IN FRENCH PORT. Cruiser Diana in No Hurry to Con- tinue Her Flight. PARIS, Aug. 23.—The Foreign Of- fice has not been advised of the de- of French Indo-China, of the Russian cruiser Diana, which sought refuge there on August 20, following the nav- al battle of August 10 off Port Arthur. it is considered probable that when |the Diana‘leaves Saigon she will sail | for Europe.

Special buildings have been erected on the drill grounds north of the city for use as a hospital, where some 700 wounded have been or are being treated with the best care the country can provide. Out of the total number treated only five have died. Ninety- nine per cent have been successfully treated. Many cases have been remarkable. The chief surgeon apparently takes great pride in the showing. He at- tributes it to the special character of | the Japanese rifle, a variety the gen-| eral adoption of which he urged five or six years ago on the score of the humane nature of the wounds it in- flicts, disabling and not killing. He feels timt his prediction has been won- derfully verified. BRI ol PLIGHT OF THE ASKOLD. Still Far From Seaworthy.

In view of the circumstances existing here certain prominent American firms to-day made a request upon American Consul General Goodnow for theé pro- tection of cargoes on wharves near the Askold. This request was forwarded by Goodnow to Rear Admiral Stirling, in command of the American fleet here, who has it under consideration. el aan ENGLAND AIDS HER ALLY. New Order to Colonial Governors Is Aimed at Russian Warships. LONDON, Aug.. 23. —Instructions have now been sent to the Governors of British colonies and dependencies that they shall not allow coaling priv- ileges to any btlligerent fleet proceed- ing to the seat of war or positions on the line of route with the object of intercepting neutral ships on sus- picion of carrying contraband. Such a fleet is not to be permitted to make use in any way.of any port or roadstead or waters subject to the jur- isdiction of his Majesty for the purpose of coaling directly from the shore or from colliers accompanying the fleet, whether vessels of such fleet present themselves at the same time or suc- cessively. g It is also ordered that the same prac- tice be pursued in reference to single belligerent ships of war proceeding for the purpose of belligerent operations as above defined. Vessels putting in on account of ae- tual distress at sea will receive such succor as usually ‘s extended jn such cases in accordante with the recog- nized usages of infernational law. A proclamation on these lines already has been issued Fy the Governor of Malta. et i s SUNK WITHOUT CAUSE. Naval Court’s Finding in the Case of the Steamship Hipsang. SHANGHAI, Aug. 23.—The finding of the Naval Court of Inquiry in the case of the British steamer Hipsang was de- livered this morning. The Hipsang was torpedoed and sunk July 18 while pass- ing Pigeon Bay. The findings of the court are as follows: “A Russian torpedo-boat - destroyer, now identified as the Ratstoropuy, came up at daylight with the Hipsang, whose lights were burning brightly and who had the British flag flying. The destroyer fired shells, killing and maiming passengers. The = Hipsang stopped directly, but the Russian vessel fired a torpedo, sinking her. There was no contraband aboard her nor any Jap- anese. Her captain was experienced anf™he acted perfectly correctly. e court desires to draw to the attention of the Board of Trade and the Forelgn Office that the steamer, while proceed- ing with due caution and on her correct course, was torpedoed and sunk with- out any just cause or reason.

Beachéd Before Second Jap- anese Vessel's Arrival on Scene. e P TOKIO, Aug. 23.—The Japanese pro- tected cruiser Tsushima alone defeated the Russian cruiser Novik. The first engagement occurred on Saturday, Au- gust 20, and the Japanese protected cruiser Chitose finished the destruction of the Russian ship on Sunday. ° The Tsushima found the Novik off Kdrsakovsk harbor at 4:30 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. She immediately signaled her discovery to the Chitose by wireless telegraphy and at once attacked the enemy. The Novik was hit frequently hy the fire from the Japanese cruiser and at twenty min- utes to 6 o'clock she retreated to the inner anchorage at Korsakovsk. She was then enveloped in white smoke and evidently on fire. » The Tsushima had received projec- tiles through bunkers 6 and 8. She was leaking badly and listing, and was forced to withdraw out of the range of the Novik’s guns for temporary re- pairs. These were effected that even- ing. The Chitose joined the Tsushima af- ter sundown of Saturday. The Tsu- shima was sent to guard the strait and the Chitose watched Korsakovsk har- bor. At dawn of Sunday the Chitose ad- vanced to the Korsakovsk anchorage and d'iscovered that the Novik had been beached close to the town and that the crew of the Russian vessel appear- ed to be disembarking. The Chitose shelled the Novik from twenty-five minutes past 6 until fourteen minutes past 7 o'clock. The hull of the Novik was concealed behind clouds of black smoke and this made shooting for the Japanese gunners most difficult. After this shelling the Chitose steam- ed in to within twenty-five hundred yards to observe the Novik. She saw that the Russian cruiser had partly sunk. She had a bad list to starboard, and her side lights and lower deck were under water. Her hull was seriously damaged. The Chitose satisfied herself that the Novik had been destroyed and steamed away. The Tsushima has been repaired and is again in fighting trim. The Jap- anese sustained no casualties in this engagement, VG —— QUIET AT LIAOYANG. Japanese Comtrol the Mountains to East and South. LIAOYANG, Aug. 23.—Notwith- standing the news of the withdrawal of the Japanese from the Russian east front, the situation remains the same.

LONDON, Aug. 23.—Lloyds’ agent at Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony, cab- ling under to-day’'s date, says the Cape St. Francis signal station reports having sighted at 2 o'clock on August 19 a large steamship bound east.

HONOLULU, Aug. 23.—An interna- tional tribunal is to be established by Great Britain and the United States for the purpose of settling, among| other things, the claims of a number of British subjects here, who were im- prisoned as revolutionists after the re- bellion of 1895, Over twenty claimants placed their claims for damages in the hands of the British Consul here, and there have been volumes of correspon- dence about them, references having been made back and forth between Honolulu and Washington. At the request of the claimants Gov- ernor Carter took the matter up while ‘he was In Washington, and was in- formed that the tribunal would be called for the purpose of making set- tlements. It is now over seven years since the testimony was taken in the matter. Most of the claimants were kept in jail for some weeks, while the provisional government feared revolt. ——————— WILL SOON FLOAT SECOND HALF OF HAWAIIAN LOAN Governor Carter Ammounces His In- tention to Place Upon Market Bonds Worth $1,000,000.

LONDON, Aug. 24.—The Standard this morning, unable to conceal its disappointment that the United States ‘Government is not prepared to protect the neutralily of China at Shanghai, editorlally contends that the United States could have taken the lead with- out arousing the jealousies and sus- picions which must follow intervention by any European power. The Daily Telegraph publishes a strong editorial demanding that the Government_ adopt rigorous measures to stop the molestation of British ship- ping by Russian voluntecr fleet vessels, declaring that “if diplomacy fails, the British navy must clear the high seas of the offenders.” The other morning newspapers show less excitement, because it has not yet been satisfactorily proved whether the vessel that stopped the Comedian was really the auxiliary cruiser Smolensk. The correspondent of the Times at Peking says that the Waiwupu (Chi- nese Foreign Board) is trying to ar- range a compromise by which Japan shall be induced to permit the Askold to remain at Shanghal until Sunday rext, when the tides will permit the cruiser to cross the bar. The correspondent says that one of the three officials composing the council on army reorganization has left Peking for Shanghal on a tour of. inspection of the arsenals and the military equip- ment in Central and Southern China and also on a mission of inquiry as to what increased revenues are available for army reorganization. S R R HOLDS TO FAINT HOPE. St. Petersburg Not Yet Certain That Port Arthur Will Be Taken. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 24—With all Russia hanging breathlessly on the fate of Port Arthur, even such an event as the christening of the Czarevitch is robbed of much of the prominence which would otherwise be accorded it and St. Petersburg last night was dim and silent, with no sign of activity. Although the fairylike grounds of Pet- o terhof are gay with flags and decora- tions in readiness for to-morrow’s cel- ebration, and though the great palace is filled with distinguished guests, the sScene resembles a weighty internation- al conference rather than a gathering of merrymakers. < The capital to-night is filled with sin- ister rumors of Port Arthur's desper- ate straits. The superstitioys are pre- dicting the fall of the fortress on the day of the baptism of the Czarevitch, but this is easily traceable to the fact that several big Russian reverses have occurred on Russian fete days. It is reported that a message was re- ceived from Lieutenant General Stoes- sel, which was sent from Port Arthur on the night of August 22, by way of Chefu, saying that a desperate assault by the Japanese had been In progress during the previous forty-eight hours. No confirmation of this report can be had. While the General Staff does not conceal its anxiety, the best military authorities have not abandoned the hope that General Stoessel will be able to hold out. This more hopeful view is somewhat borne out by an unofficial from Liaoyang, saying that in a two days’ assault—on August 19 and 20—the attackers, like their predecessors, were beaten off with heavy loss. The situation at Liaovang itself it quiet, but the improving weather pre- sages the renewal of military activity. It is believed that if General Kuropat- kin is contemplating a diversion in fa- vor of Port Arthur it will rot be long delayed. - Conservative critics, while they are not chary in giving the Jépanese due military credit for past performances, say in plain language that the pace is too fast to last and that every General Stoessel holds out will render the Japanese position about Liaoyang more precarious. Even the most san- guine, however, admit the gravity of the situation from the Russian point of view and the most serious news from the front would not be received with great surprise. RETAIL GROCERS'CLOSE SESSION WITH BANQUET Resolutions Are Passed Urging Legis- lature to Pass Laws to Stop Issu- ance of Trading Stamps.

BERLIN, Aug. 22—A command to Prince Friederich Leopold, a cousin of Emperor William, to join General Kuropatkin’s army has rather the character of punishment. It has given rise to an amusing inecident. The Prince is known as a sybarite | and he has disregarded in the past all the Kaiser’s suggestions that he lead a more strenuous life. He hoped he would not miss any of his accustomed comforts while in Manchuria, so he in- sisted on taking along five hundred pieces of luggage, together with enough | bedding to supply the officers of & whole regiment. The administration of the Trans-St- berian Rallway, however, refused to transport all the Prince’s possessions, informing the Czar that the army in Manchuria was in too great a need of necessities to permit the railway to waste any of its accommodations in this manner. After lively telegraphic correspondence between Berlin and St. Petersburg the Prince’s luggage was reduced to 250 pieces. This number, the Prince hopes, will help him to over- come the privations of the Manchurian campaign. e RITUALISTIC CLERGYMAN | WILL VISIT THIS CITY. The Right Rev. R. H.

Bishop | Weller comes with the consent and cor- | aial invitation of Bishop Nichols of the diocese of California, who is regarded as decidedly low church compared with | the prelate of Fond du Lac. Bishop Weller is the representative of the extreme ritualistic element of the Episcopal Church in the United States and an advanced type of the Milwaukee school of churchmanship, so much abhorred by the old type of | church people. The Bishop is regarded as a persuasive preacher. Bishop Weller's mission in this eity | will continue for ten days and may prove the religious semsation of the | year. | | | | ————— ' EX-SENATOR W.
