FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTE IBER 29. 1904. KUROPATKIN'S CAVALRY IS KEEPING IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH THE JAPANESE Russians Heavily Reinforced at Mukden. ST.

TOKIO, Sept. 28.—The Government has decided to float another domsetic loan of 80,000,000 yen, on conditions similar to those which governed the last loan, the price to be *92.05 per cent. The present prosperous condi- tion of business indicates that the subscription to the loan will be heavy. The Minister of Finance will meet the bankers of Tokio to-morrow and those of Osaka and Nagoya on Saturday to discuss the loan. ADVERTISEMENTS.

WAR BULLETINS LONDON, Sept. 28.—A dispatch to a news agency from Vladivostok says that, according to reports from Port Arthur, two Japamese torpedo-boats and a Japanese steamship have been sunk by mines near Port Arthur dur- ing the last few days. A Japanese cruiser of the Niitaka type, it is added, was badly damaged. LONDON, Sept. 29.—The Daily Mail's Liaoyang correspondent, tele- graphing on September 28, says: “The winter equipment for the Japanese troops is completed. Fresh supplies of ammunition have arrived and the army Is ready to march at a moment’s notice, The personal treatment of foreign correspondents with the Jap- anese has been completely revolu- tionized.” ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 28.—The information received at the War Of- fice concerning the situation at Port Arthur is not reassuring. The block- ade at last seems to be effective. Ad- miral Togo's ships are arresting all the junks which try to enter the har- | bor and are sending them to Port Dal- | ny. It is feared that this complete isolation may react on the spirits of the garrison. 3 4 MANY ~ | PRISONERS TAKEN. Russian Rai in M MUKDEN, ing Parties Are Active kden District. Sept. 28.—Many skir- mishes and reconnaissances are re- ported to headquarters here, but, ex- cept for these, quiet prevails. In the fighting that has been taking place the Russian sccuts have almost invariably shown superiority over the Japanese, both in riding and fighting. The Japanese movement up the Taitse River appears to be by a com- paratively small force. | Raiding parties from the Russiag | army bring in many prisoners. Beau- | tiful autumn weather continues. Rein- forcements are rapidly arriving. More than 1000 convalescents have returned to duty. The railroad is in good working con- dition.

B G ¢ MEDIATION NOT DISCUSSED. 8 502 3 Meeting of Gioletti and Von Bulow | Has Another Object. ROME, Sept. 28.—Although a por- tion of the Italian press insists that the meeting of Premier Gioletti and Count von Bulow, the German Chan- cellor, -at Homburg was connected with the subject of mediation between Russia and Japan, the Capitale, a semi-official organ, gives voice to the contrary view, and says: “Not only the Italian, but all Eu- repean governments consider that mediation is impossible now, when Russia, fully trusts in her ability to turn the tide of battle in her favor and while Japan does not wish to lose the fruits of her victories.” The Avanti asserts that the presence of Prince Charles of Hohenzollern at Tokio has a connection with alleged plans of mediation. The Foreign Of- fice, however, emphatically denies that Italy is concerned in any such movement. e Russia Buying Destroyers. PARIS, Sept. 28.—A dispatch to the Temps from Toulon says: The Rus- slan Government has negotiated for the construction of eleven torpedo- boat destroyers of the latest model by the Compagnie des Forges et Chan- diers de la Mediterrae. Work will shortly be begun on four of them at the shipyards in Normandie, four at the shipyards at Havre and three at the shipyards at La Seyne. PR3 ey Long Army Service in Japan. TOKIO, Sept. 28.—It is probable that the conscription law will be amended by increasing the reserve service to five years, thus making the regular and reserve service total sev- enteen years and five months. This will mean a large increase in the army. e s Refugees to Be Sent Home. BERLIN, Sept. 28.—The Japanese refugees who lived in Russian terri- tory at the outbreak of the war will be sent across the German frontier on October 1 on their way to Japan. The refugees consist generally of mer- chants and laborers from Siberia. —_—— single log of mahogany often munmu“usm Attacks Upon Port Arthur End in Disaster. Special Cable to The Call and New York Herald. Copyright, 1904, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 28.—Gener- | al Stoessel has finally refused to yield | Port Arthur, as all expected he would. | A friend of his said to-day: “Even if instructions were sent to him to capitulate he would surely fol- low the example of Nelson, promptly turned blind on the side of | the signal telling him to cease fight- ing.” Russia is now following developments with keen anxiety. It is fully recog- nized that the situation at Port Arthur is rapidly becoming desperate. When the moment arrives that the ships are forced to leave the harbor the water question will become doubly serious, as their condensers will no longer be evailable. The supplies of munitions and coal, in spite of denials, are run- ning short. No illusions are held here as to the widely serious effect the fall of Port Arthur will have. CHEFU, Sept. 28.—Russians resid- ing here claim to have received infor- | mation that the Japanese losses in the last assault on Port Arthur (which be- gan on September 19) were 7000. A Chinese who left the fortress on Sep- tember 26 says that the Russian losses were hetween 500 and 600. This Chinese says that the Japanese | were| unable to remain in the three| supplementary forts which they cap- | tured and that they retired at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of September 26, after enduring several days of tremendous firing from the inner forts. He adds that the Russians at- tempted to bury the dead of both sides at night, because the decomposing bodies ously menace the health of | the garrison. The Russians allege that | it is the deliberate policy of the Jap- | anese to undermine the health of the Russian troops by means of the odors from the decomposing bodies and that | fcr this reason they fire on the burial parties. i One Chinese who was a member of | a burial party says that the Japanese fired when he and other Chinese at- | tempted to bury the dead.

Staff Correspondence of The Call. CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILD- ING, WORLD'S FAIR, ST. LOUIS, Sept. 28.—The wrangle at the St. Louis Exposition over the admission before the international jury of awards for prize competition of California wines bearing the names of French districts, and the compromise thereon, with its accompanying agreement, may inau- gurate something of a new era in the wine industry of the State and cut an important and beneficial figure in its future. It may lead to a gradual but coemplete abandonment of the French pames, and the substitution of others purely Californian, which shall become as famous as those so highly treasured by France. There is no reason why, if the wines produced in them are kept at a high standard, the names of wine- producing sections of California should not stand for as much those of France. France makes the contention, and she has stood by it strongly at succes- sive world’s fairs, that all names of districts within her borders under which any wine has become famous belong to her and that their use by any other nation is fraud and an infringe- ment on the rights ef her wine pro- ducers. ‘Medoc, St. Julien, Champagne, Sauterne and Burgundy are merely the | | i i the St. Louis fair that any wine or grape of one country bearing the name of any section of another should not be eligible for entry in competition. The usual commotion was produced. Ger- man champagne, so labeled, and Cali- fornia grape brandy, bearing the word ‘‘cognac,” also a distrct in France, were ruled out—the cognac with the under- standing that it would be considered if the owners consented to the agree- ment entered into in connectiop with the compromise. This agreement is that in future any California wine pro- ducer who wishes to make use of the name of a French district shall state on the label that his wine is a “type” of that produced in the district named and that California shall appear promi- nently in the label, there will be no It is the In some cases the California growers be of foreign countries.

R TR SAVED BY HIS COAT. g Colored Woman Prisoner Tries to Kill Acting Captain Swan, SAN RAFAEL, Sept., 28.—Captain Swan,- acting captain of the yard at San Quentin, had a flerce fight with Belle Nailer, a colored woman prisoner, yesterday afternoon. The woman had been very unruly and threatened to kill the matron of the ward, who immedi- ately informed Warden Tompkins. The warden instructed Captain Swan to visit the department and discipline the woman. ‘When she noticed the captain ap- proaching she ran to the kitchen, pro- cured a large meat fork and tried to stab him. She succeeded in striking him in the side, but as Swan had on a heavy coat the weapon did not pene- trate far enough to hurt him. Had he been coatless, however, he would have received a serious wound. The woman has a bad record. She is serving ten years for picking pockets in San Francisco. She at one time was an inmate of an insane asylum, and the officials at the prison think «-- was temporarily demented when she tried to injure Swan. —_———— WILL DENOUNCE ACTION OF FRENCH GOVERNMENT Committee Is Appointed at Eucharistic Congress to Express Disapproval of Attitude to Rome. NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—At the Eucharistic Congress to-day Bishop Maes appointed a committee to draw up resolutions denouncing the French Gcevernment for its action toward the Catholic orders in that country. Father Dougherty asked that copies of the resolutions be ordered sent to the President of the United States and the Governor of the State of New York. When this suggestion was made Archbishop Farley said: “I think that would be going too far and mingling up things. The Catholic church does not belong to the Presi- dent of the United States or the Gov- ernor of the State of New !ctk. It belongs to the Holy See.” e M. Embree, side; E.

The announcement of the discovery of an obstruction hidden on the ways beneath the water brought forth the story of the previous nt-i tempt to injure the Connecticut. Three weeks ago Admiral Rogers reported to the Navy Department that serious weakness was discovered in the ways. A careful investigation fol- lowed and this showed that defects in construction were doubtless planned for the purpose of bringing the great | battleship to disaster when it started | into the water. Great secrecy was/ maintained about the weakness in the ways, but at that time naval officers gave the subject much thought and a special guard was established to pro- tect the ship from damage.

It is recalled, however, that when the son of Henry White, secretary of the embassy in London, and Spencer Eddy, in 1899, when he was third secretary of the embassy, were summoned here for riding bicycles on a footpath, similar exemption was claimed and reference was then made to the statute of 1708, whereby any British official acting as Justice Phelps | did toward a diplomat became amen- able not only to severe penalties, but| even to flogging. The Westminster Gazette commends | the attitude of the American press in the Gurney matter as ‘‘showing its gouod sense."” WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—“If inves- | tigation shows that Hugh Gurney, third secretary of the British Embassy, who was arrested for speeding his au- tomobile in Massachusetts, has been in laws, it is not unlikely that the Brit- mation that the young secretary might better b(‘ sent away from the United said a prominent State De- partment official this afternoon. “Of course, it Is possible that Mr. was exceeding the speed limit | It is very easy to do that with an automobile,” the official continued, “but if the reports that he has been a chronic violator of the speed limits are corroborated, his use- in Washington will doubtless | impaired and a hint to 1l be given.” be regarded that effect w 'WELL KNOWN | AUTHOR DIES | | toek no part in the battle. | use the name of the grape as a base fo > From thirty to fifty shells fall daily | for that of their wine.

LOUIS, Sept. 28.—Theodore Steg- man, 45 years old, who says he once owned California property worth ¥50.- 000,000, but who is now a prisoner in a St. Louis jail because of his inability to furnish a bond for a trivial amount, appeared to-day in Judge Adams’ pri- vate cffice in the Federal building and complained of the treatment accorded him in jail. Judge Adams, it is re ported, promised to investigate Steg- man’'s charges. Stegman has been in Jail since the latter part of July. He was president of the Missouri Rental Company and was arrested on charges in both Federal and State courts. The Federal charge is using the mails to defraud and the State charge is obtain- ing money under false pretenses. J C. Hailer, his attorney, says the charges are based on the selling of cer- tain properties to which it is alleged he had no title. When the cases are called for trial, he says, it will be shown there was no criminal iatent. “At one time I was in possession of property worth many million dollars.” said Stegman. “This property was in Southern California gnd consisted of irrigation bonds. I was well knawn by landholders and bankers. Om this property 1 borrowed $16,000,000. If [ had been a fool I guess I could not have done that. And if I had not been an honest man I would never have at- tained the place I held. I paid all but $4,000,000 of that $16,000,000 and I failed in Kansas City in 1898 for that amougt I was forced into bankruptey when [ was in a prosperous condition. But two men swore 1 was bankrupt. ore was some interest money due which I failed to pay.
