Some of Them Criticize Rojestvensky for Exsaying Tsushima Straits. TOKIO, June 2.—The cardinal causes of Rojestvensky's defeat h&ve been the subject of general discussion here. One Japanesc expert gives the following analysis: “First. an imperfect recon- noissance and incomplete, faulty and ine intelligence; second, an im- vattle formation, which indi~ that Rojestvensky did not ex- to mcet Togo, off Tsushima; third, the weather, ‘the direction of the wind t | and the sunlight were unfavorable to the Russians, Togo having the sun be- nd him and firing with the wind, e the Russians had the sunlight in their eyes and fired against the wind; the Russians wasted their am- n and eventually ran short.

Many aseribe the victory entirely to the superior arksmanship of the Japanese.

When the hostile fleets met the superiority of the Japanete immediately became evi- The sinking of battleships and armored cruisers by sheil fire testifies to the deadly accuracy of the Japanese zuns and destroys the theory that'it is impossible to sink such ships by shell fire. ALTERS MILITARY SITUATION. Toge's Vietory Gives Japan a Free Hand Agninst Russia’s Holdings. TOKIO, June 2.—With the destruction of Russia's naval power interest is re- turning to military operations on land. Togo's victory tremendously alters the military sftuatfon and removes all lim- its Lo offensive operations against Rus- sia’s muritime provinces. It is possible to effectively close Vladivos- tok. seize SagHalien, the mouth of the Amur River, Kamchatka and any point between the Tumen River and the Are- ! tic circle that the Japanese may desire. A foreign military observer, discuss- | ing the question, savs: \"Togo's victory | lantern *may drive Russia away from the Pacific Japan now has a free hand in Russia’s maritime provinces and her offensive capacity is unlimited.

Y now Russian press this morning still is ad- vocating more vigorously than ever the summoning of a natiohal assembly, even the reactionary Sviet joining in i the general chorus. In view of the cur- rent rumors, it is most significant that the papers which are more or less in the confidence of the Government unanimously take the position that rep- resentatives of the people should de- cide the gquestion of peace or war. All censorship is now removed fPom foreign dispatches and the people are appalled at the horrible stories of slaughter on board the Russian ships. The Admirslty has not yet been able to estimate even approximately from the foreign advices the loss of men, but as the ships were over, rather than under manned, the.total will be greater than | the ordinary complement of the ves- | sels would indicate and probably will exceed 10,000 if only about 4000 were saved. Requiem masses are being celebrated constantly in all the churches and chapels for the repose of the souls of the slain, although the distracted rela- tives are unable to learn definitely the fate of those dear to them. The Ad- miralty up to the present time has been unable to throw any light on the situation except to announce the safety of those who have reached Vladivostok. Ugly stories are circulating in this city of the demoralization and even treach- ery of the crews of several of the Rus- sian ships during the battle and it is even said that the crew of the battleship Orel; bound their officers and hoisted the white flag. The origin of those stories, which are discreditéed by all naval men here, cannot be traced, as the only direct information comes from Japan, but doubtless they are based on the trouble among the crew of the Orel before her departure for' the Faf East. She was sunk at her dock before she left Cronstadt and later at Libau the crew was mutinous. ELR R NO EXCUSE FOR NEBOGATOFF. Did Not Lack Fighting Resources When He Surrendered the Ships. LONDON, June 2.—The Tokio corre- spondent of the Daily Telegraph again to-day sends additional details of tae naval battle received from Moji, Sasebo and other points. It is said that when Rear Admiral Neb- ogatoff surrendered the Russians hoisted red flags on their topmasts, with Russian flags below them. The crews were drawn up in parade order on the decks, and some of the sailors wére waving white | Aags. The whole affair, the dispatch says, was a ‘“‘contemptible spectacle.” The correspondent of the paper who witnessed the battle, says that toward sunset, waen the fighting was most flerce, there were some sickening sights beyond human power of description. The Sasebo correspondent . describes some pathetic scenes. He saw éxhausted fugitive Russtan - sailors standing on places beneath high cliffs in remote and | deserted parts where there were no roads. EAH of them were thirsty, hungry and | overwrought. “Two Japanese cruisers en- {Baged in a merciful search alone saved 600 Russians. The same correspondent says that when | the Japanese battered the torpedo-boat | desiroyer Bedovieff, completely dismast- ing her, Admiral Rojestvensky -was the last than to be discovered. He was hid- ing at the bottom of the destroyer and was bleeding freely from many wounds. The correspondent goes on to say: “It 1= undérstood that Aumiral Nebagot- off, who is grateful for the Kind treat- ment given to him by. order of the Mi- kado, will be allowed to proceed home within & few days. His surrernder was disgraceful and unaccountable. Ah exam- ination of his ships shows though -the vessels covered with seaweed, there was no lack of fighting resources.. There was plenty of ammunition and ‘no trace. of damage by the Japanese shells.” I i e i ) Japanese Make Threats.- LONDON, June 3.—Aeccording' to dis- patches from Shanghal the Japanese are preparing an expedition for the is- and of Saghalién and have threatened to send a fleet to Shanghai to compel the observance of neutrality with re- gard.to the Russian vessels there. This threat, the dispatches say, has induced the Russian Consul to consent that the vessels be interned. el kT Japancse Celebrate at Honolulu.

There was hope yet of a victory for the Russian arms and in any event Russia had not yet lost one foot of territory, nor was the Russian frontier endangered. e h S OFFERS HIS SERVICES. The Embassador pointed out that there was not the slightest official in- timation from any source as to Japan's probable -terms, .and that these de- mands as stated unofficially were “al- together impossible.” If Japan's terms should prove anything like as severe as they have been reported, it was the Embassador’s opinfon that Russia could | advantageously continue theé war in- definitely and eventually win a victory on land. That his Gevernmeént would | so decide, he did not wish to, predict, | but at last accounts the Emperor was ;tor a continuatfon of ‘the war. Thus the conyersation .continued for more than half ‘an hour, being characterized ;l;rougheut by franknes and friendli- SS. % A Later on, when the Embassador has heard from his Government, after com- municating the President's .views and the President’'s willingness to render Russia any service possible in initiat- ing peace negotiations with Japan, he will have another talk with the Presi- dent. From the White House the Em- bassador went for a long drive In the country, returning to his embassy just Planches, the Italian' Embassador, who spent some time with him. Later in the evening the Embassador entered on the preparation of the dispatch to his Government. Regarding his visit to the White House all that Count Cassini would say was: “I had'a most cordial conversation with the President this afternoon, dur- ing which the whole situation in the Far East was discussed informally and in a general manner. No peace over- tures were received frogp Japan, nor were any made. Our talk was con- fidential, -of course, and of a very gen- eral character.” ¥ ‘When Count Cassini leaves Washing- ton for St. Petersburg early in July he will be the bearer of a personal mes- sage from the Presiden to the Emperor. ——- ENGLAND READY TO ACT. Willing to Assist in Bringing About Peace in the Orlent., LONDON, June 3.—The, conference be- ‘tween President Roosevelt and Count Cassini, the Russian Embassador, yes- terday, evokes the greatest interest here, but the details of what transpired at the conference arrived too late to be the sub- Jject of discussion in this morning’s pa- pers. The belief In London is that at the present. moment neither belligerent is anxtous for peace. Some advices from Toklo represent the soberness with which the news of Togo's victory was received by the Japanese as the outcome of a desire to avold peace negotiations until the expedition in course of preparation has had time to reduce Vladivostok. With regard to Russia, it is felt here that the mere sensé of the enormous loss of prestige involved in (e disastrous defeat of Rojestvensky will determine hostilities. Secetary Lansdowne of = the Foreign Office will gladly second President Roose- velt's efforts in the direction of peace. The Secretary already has had inter- views with the Russian Embassador to Great Britain, Count Benckendorff, ac- ccrding to rumor, at the behest of King BEdward, in which he intimated to tfie Embassador. his Majesty's willingness to offer his friendly assistance in arranging a peaceful settlement. The peace group in the French Cham- ber of Deputles, in a communication to a similar group of the House of Com- mons, urges that efforts be made to pro- mote. peace in the Far East. Now that the details of the battle are better known, the naval problgms in- volved form a theme for general discus- sion with a view to drawing valuable les- sons- in naval warfare. —_——————— ‘COUNT CASSINI CANCELS b g \Dlflfln IN HIS HONOR Prefers Not to Attend Festal Occasion During Hour of Sorrow In i His Country. ‘WASHINGTON, June 2.—Somse. of the most . prominent . society people of ‘Washington conceived the idea a short time ago of giving a dinner to Count Cassini, the rotiring Russian Embas- gador. 'The Count feels keenly the re- buke implied in the order for his recall, and it was the purpose of these promi- nent folk to do what they could to cheer, and “let him down easy,” as one of thém expressed. The Count, at the time, accepted the hospitality offered. At his request, however, the dinner has now been canceled. The Count dis- creetly gave no reasons for his request, but it is understood that delicacy pre- vents him from attending such a festal occasion after the defeat which the _Japanese administered to the Rus- sfans. © i SON OF JACOB RIIS - WEDS WESTERN GIRL Marries Miss Florence Mo- loso of San Francisco at Quiet Ceremony. - Speclal Dispatéh to The Call.

By a vote of 15,210 to 8766 the voters put the stamp of their disapproval upon a proposed ordinance which within ninety days would have closed every saloon in the city, restricted to the wholesale' houses the sale of liquor and made it im- possible for a man to serve liquor in his home except under certain conditions. It ‘was a most drastic ‘measure ‘and to that in a great part is due its defeat. The election was different from any pre- vious one In this city or perhaps in any California city. It was characterized by bifter feeling engendered by a campaign | in" which ahuse by one side or the other was a weapon frequently used. In no sense ‘'was the contest a - partisan one. Members of both great political parties l.took 'sides, the real politiclans, almost as a unit, taking the anti-prohibition side, and _fhany of them under salary com- pleted a tremendously strong organiza- tion. Plentitully supplied with money which they used freely they conducted a ‘campalgn which will not soon be for- gotten. On the other side the prohibition forces were not without expert political assist- ance. They had polled the city. They had funds in abundance and they dld not | seruple to use their money to induce per- sons to enter ‘their enemy's camp to se- cure sgecret information. It was admitted by them that If they ‘were winners in’to-day’s fight they would carry the antl-saloon fight Into other fields. The success practically of the en- tire no-saloon movement throughout this section of the State centered in. to-day’s contest and the liguor irterests knew that they were fighting for their very exist- ence. & That there was not the slightest dis- order at the polls to-day, not an arrest for any misdeed In connection with the election, not a single call for the police is probably due to the fact that last night the saloons were closed and not a drop ot liquor was sold from any of them. The saloon men had been charged to see that no disarder occurred and on the other hand thelr opponents offered no provoca- tion. At the outset the liquor element corraled every horse and buggy which could be hired in this and neighboring towns and when the prohibition forces sought vehicles for use in their wards they could not find them. A feature of the election was the work of women at the polls, but they received so little support that they soon left and, repairing to the churches, many of them spent the day in a mervice of prayer for the success of the prohibition movement. The attitude of the business men more than anything else caused the defeat of the prohibitionists, for almost to a man they openly declared themselves opposed to the movement. Under ne Initiative provision of the city charter the prohibi- tionists can have ano..er election called within six months, but before then the City Coupcil will have passed a high li- cense ordinance and that, it is believed. would remove the hope of success of any absolute prohibition movement in Los Angeles. —_—————— BIG.SPLIT RENDS Continued From.

A resolution providing for the appointment of a chairman of the hoard was accord- ingly offered and was voted for by all present. The chairman will have all the power that heretofore was vested by the by- laws in the president. Hyde expressed himself as unwilling to name anybody or to take part in his selection. All he wanted, he said, was a man whose name would restore confidence, and who would fearlessly investigate and would honestly report. The question as to whether Hyde would be willing to name a trustee for his stock was then raised, and the resolu- ‘tion that he divest himself of control by such a trusteeship was adopted. Hyde, however, made no pledge on that sub- Ject. 5 RAILROADS IN THE FUSS. 1In the course of the heated debate many insinuations were thrown out as to the real purpose of the report and the al- leged attempt to capture the control of the soclety.

SEE THE DAWN ™ OF PEACE ERA Members of the Mohonk Con- | ference Believe Day of War Has All but Passed S S P LAKE MOHONK, N. Y, June 2.—A platform of principles, setting forth the achievements and purposes of the'in- ternational arbitration movement, was adopted to-day by the Conferénce on International "Arbitration. The plat- form follows: “The eleventh annual meeting of the Lake Mohonk Conference on Interna- tional Arbitration expresses its grati- fication over the advance made in the cause of the pacific settlement of dis- putes between nations during the past year. Numerous speclal treatles of arbitration have been concluded and are now in force. The Hague conven- tion commands increasing confidence among civilized peoples; its purposes and scope are better understood; its provisions have been resorted to with success in cases of great difficulty as in the settlement of the North Sea in- cident, and we now have confident as- surance that the tribunal which it has established will become of increasing importance in maintaining the peace of the world. “The interests that contribute to the promotion of the cause are ever broad- ening. Those of the wage-earners are finding emphatic expression; commerce is keenly sensitive to disastrous inter- ruptions by war, whether near or re- mote; the promoters of religion and philanthropy are alarmed at the hinde rance of their work by every disturb- ance of international peace and the sense of human brotherhood is increas- ingly felt and appreciated throughout the world. These signs of promise show that the long darkness of barbarism is passing away and that the bright day of universal peace is dawning indeed. PRAISE FOR PRESIDENT. “We are highly gratified at the ef- forts of President Roosevelt in promot- ing the cause of international peace and Justice and we rejoice in his call for a second conference at The Hague. We confldently expect that any questions of international law that are now vague or undetermined will there find wise solution. We also hope that the con- ference will frame a general treaty of arbitration that may more effectively meet the requirements of the situation thah any special treaties yet proposed have done, and we will be gratified if the Indefinite and elastic exceptions of matters of national honor and of ‘vital shall be substantlally modi- “We treaty is proposed, the treaty-making authorities of our Government will speedily effect its enactment for this earnestly hope that if such a country. We view the treaty now in force between the kingdoms ef Den- mark and The Netherlands to ‘submit ail their differences to arbitration as pre- senting the ideal toward which we are moving. “The evolution of the movement for universal peace clearly points to the .early establishment of an international parliament with at least advisory pow- ers ds a necessary agency in Its ful- fillment and we renew our declarations of last year in reference to this. We feel that it is not expedient for this conference to pass any judgment upon the plan of organization of such a parliament beyond the necessity for | \ the representation of all civilized na- tions therein.

SHEEPMAN CLOS BIG GAMBLING DEN Wins $14,000 at Faro and Compels the Dealer to Quit. Special Dispatch to The Call RENO, June 2.—The Louvre, one of the largest gambling houses in Reno, closed its doors last night after losing more than $14,000. The large gambling room, which was a sceme of excitement last night, Is now as silent as a grave. The roulette wheels, crap tables and faro games are covered with tarpaulins and on them are stacked the stools occupled by. the feverish and eager players last evening. The play was heavy all night, but only a few thousands had been lost by the house up to midnight. Just after 13 o’clock a sheepman wandered into the place and played the limit.
