Aid Given Baltic Fleet Arouses Re- | sentment in Japan. | TOKIO, Dec. 5.—Popular sentiment regarding the question of the assist ance which neutral powers are giving to the vessels of the Russian second Pacific squadron, which heretofore has been repressed, is now growing more acute, and prominent newspapers are voicing the demand for determined ac- tion by the Japanese Government. Apparently much will depend on the course of events when the Russian warships arrive in Oriental waters. If the squadron shall have been permit- | ted to exceed a fair construction of neutrality it is probable that Japan will consider herself under no obliga- tion to observe neutrality, and may send her fleet after the Russians into ports of neutrality, of which she be. lieves the Russians are violating. the Russians seize a base in neutral territory Japan probably will do like- wise, should urgency demand such ace tion. Japan is keenly complications, insist rights. Preparations for meeting the Ruse sian warships are proceeding on an ex- tensive scale, particulanty in the case of the navy, which is confident of solv- ing the prcb!em under fair conditions. The preparations of the army include the calculation that the Russians may attempt to cut the Japanese communi- | cations to the Liaotung Peninsula, but | when the Russian vessels arrive the Japanese armies in Manchuria expect to be in a position to carry on a cam- anxious to avoid but she will forcefully upon what she considers her vaign of many months without the necessity of communicating with Japan. Commercial concerns expect a teme porary disappointment in the matter of mail and maritime service when the Russian squadron arrives. —_— ' | HAY DRAFTS NEW NOTE. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—Secretary Hay has drafted a circular note to the powers informing them of the an- swers made by all the powers to which was addressed the note setting forth President Roosevelt's suggestion that they engage in a second peace conference at The Hague. This sec- ond note will include Russia’s an- swer that the time is not opportune for a peace conference while the Russo-Japanese war continues. It will not be transmitted to the powers for several da by which time it is expected Japan’s answer will have { been received. No statement is made upon the sub- ject, but it is belleved the Govern- ment will not rest content with the powers’ acceptance of the principle of the suggestion. The first opportune moment will be taken advantage of to set the date and place and to outline the questions to be dealt with. This will be decided by mutual agreement among the powers, the United States merely acting as® the custodian of their respective opinions. By JAPANESE TAKE VILLAGE. TOKIO, Dec. 5.—Imperial headquar- B. | ters to-night gave out the following information recelved from the head- | quarters of the Manchurian army: “About 2 o'clock on the morning of Saturday, December 3, our infantry | occupied Kuchiatzu, driving the enemy to the northward. This village formerly was firmly held by the enemy’'s infantry, with machine guns. | Our casualties were twelve wounded, but none killed. The enemy’s losses were more than thirty. | *“On the evening of December 3 the | enemy’s artillery shelled Waitao | Mountain. At the same time two or | three companies of the enemy’s infan- try advanced toward the mountain, but P.| were repulsed.” — | OFFERS NEW EXPLANATION. | ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 5.—An of- | ficial statement issued from naval | headquarters gives Vice Admiral Ro- latest account of the | Dogger Bank affair and explains how the vessels of the Baltic fleet fired upon one another. The statement is as follow: According to supplementary information fror Vice Admiral Rojestvensky concerning the !!\or(h Sea incident of October 21, after the Kniaz Souvaroff ceased firing, two searchlights of the Dmitri Donskol and Aurora suddenly | appeared on the left of the ironclad divisi The Dmitri Donskol showed night signal whereupon, fearing projectiles from the hin | most ships of our division should hit our own vessels, either by direct or by ricochet, a gen- eral signal to cease firo was made from the Bouvaroff. The order was at once obeved. The whole firing lasted less than ten minutes. | " Communication by wireless stated that five | projectiles struck the Aurora, some ricochetting | and others hitting direft. Three were 76-mil- limetre and two 47-miilimetre shells. The chaplain of the Aurora was seriously wound. | ea and a vetty officer was slightly wounded. ’Ihe chaplain subsequently succumbed at Tan. The foregoing statement is the first officlal confirmation of the fact, pre- viously published in these dispatches, that during the North Sea affair five shells came aboard the crulser Au- rora, injuring a priest, who subse- quently died at Algiers.

He then took the keys from Rob- erts’ pocket and opened the way safe, taking all the money in sight. Just how much this is cannot be learned. The express company officials positive- ly decline to talk, but let it be known that about $400 is missing. | It is not believed, either by the po- lice of Los Angeles or by the railway officials, that the robbery was other than the act of a desperate man, in- experienced in that particular sort of | crime. There are no evidences that | more than one man was engaged in the | affair and Messenger Roberts has man- | aged to tell that he saw only one man, whom he took, in the dim light of the | car, to be a negro. | ‘When the train arrived at Daggett. about 2 o'clock this morning, Conduc- | tor Hawes had occasion to go to the | express car. Failing to receive a re- | sponse to his repeated knocking at the side door, he went to the end door and found it unfastened. Making his way into the car he found Messenger Rob- erts lying on the floor with an ugly looking bullet wound in his breast. Roberts was conscious, but unable to talk. The bullet had passed entirely through the body, piercing the right lung. Conductor Hawes nad the mes- senger made as comfortable as pos- | sible and notified the railroad and ex- press officials in this city. When the train reached Barstow an employe of the express company took charge of the car and its contents. Late to-night it is thought that Mes- senger Roberts will not recover. He is one of the oldest Wells-Fargo mes- sengers, In point of service, running out of Los Angeles, and has a wife and children living here. —_———— CARY HELD FOR TRIAL—James H.

A widely-known banker, who requested that his name | be not used, said positively that he had seen the $500,000 note, signed “Andrew | Carnegie.” This banker said he was not familiar enough with Carnegie's signature to say positively whether the | signature was genuine or a forgery. | Receiver Nathan Loeser flled his bond to-day, thus making him the legal cus- todian of all property owned by Mrs. vick. said that the approval of Loes- | er's bond ties up absolutely all of Mrs. | Chadwick’s property, and not a dollar | of her debts can be paid out of the pro- | ceeds of the estate. All creditors, it is| | said, must share alike. This is supposed | to apply to the Newton claim if there! is any attempt to pay it out of money | that may be due to the estate. BECKWITH'S CONFESSION. In the United States District Attor-| ney’s office to-day President C. T. Beck- | with of the failed Citizens’ National Bank of Oberlin made a confession re- garding the bank’s transactions with >Mx‘-34 Cassie L. Chadwick, . Beckwith said: 4 “1 am either an awful dupe or a ter-| rible fool. 1 guess there is no doubt| about my being a fool.” i Beckwith's acquaintance with Mrs. | Chadwick began three years ago. The attorneys for Herbert D. Newton, the, Brookline, Mass., banker, have stated that their client loaned Mrs. Chadwick money only after a note signed “An-| drew Carnegie” had been indorsed by | the president and cashler of a national | bank. The men who indorsed the note | were President Beckwith and Cashier Spear of the Citizens' National Bank of | Oberlin, Ohio. Explaining this matter | Banker Beckwith continued his story! of the bank’s transactions with Mrs. | Chadwick as follows: “Yes, we indorsed the note, in addi- tion to one other note for $500,000, but | never for the purpose for which they | were used.” “Do you mean to say that there are two $500,000 notes in addition to the note for $250,000?” was asked. ‘“Yes, notes aggregating $1,250,000.” “It has not been generally understood that there were two notes for ssoo,ooo,"l was suggested. “I know it, but the notes exist just| the same,” said Beckwith. “One of them is in the hands of the receiver, and the other ought to be in the hands of Mrs. Chadwick. If she has disposed of it _she has done something which she swore! she would not do, so please make it plain that a solemn oath was taksn\ that the notes which bear our indorse- | ment were never to be used by Mrs. | Chadwick for the purpose of raising money, and she knew it.” FORGERY NOT SUSPECTED. “Did you have the slightest suspicion | that the notes carrying the name of Andrew Carnegie were not genuine?” “‘Mrs. Chadwick swore to both of us and one or more witnesses that she personally saw Mr. Carnegie sign his name to the notes she placed before us. But we said that we must be sure. The answer came in less than two days, when a New York attorney ap- peared in Oberlin who said he was the attorney of Mr. Carnegie—his special agent. He vouched for the correctness of the claims made by Mrs. Chadwick. We had at least six conferences with this lawyer—two in Oberlin and four in Cleveland. “It was over a year ago that I learned that W. 8. Fay and Henry Wurst of Elyria had some dealings with Mrs. Chadwick. They were known as shrewd business men. I began to inquire, for as a business man I want- % ed to exert every effort to turn an hon- est dollar. I guess my inquiries reached the ears of Mrs. Chadwick, in the light of events of the past two weeks. She came to Oberlin, and it was there the thing began. A second interview and 1 made a small loan. It was promptly met. In addition we secured additional splendid business and all transacted in a business way. From there on the story leads into a maze, the end of which 1 wish to God I could now see. It leads on down to a time when I went to New York. In my pocket I carried one of the notes signed with 1 the name of Carnegie. When I started 1 had in mind an attempt to raise money on the paper to put funds in the bank. When I got to New York my heart failed me, for something told me that all was not right. I came back home without an attempt to raise mon- ey on the note. “Mrs. Chadwick had secured high loans from many other bankers. She had met these obligations. Would she not meet obligations to the Oberlin Bank? We prayed that she would and we thought that she would.” R — Do You Want a Trunk At a moderate price?
