SHELLS HURLED AT A TOWN. Torpedo-Bont Enforces Demand for Coal and Provisions. ODESSA, July 5, 8:36 p. m.—The city continues under martial law. Military reguiations are being vigorously en- forced. It is now possibleito go to any ‘part of the city or harbor without a military passport. It is reported that the battleship Kniaz Potemkine appeared to-day off Akkerman, twenty-seven miles south- west of Odessa. On July 4 a torpedo-boat entered the harbor of Akkerman and demanded coal and provisions. The authorities refused to supply them, whereupon the torpedo- boat fired two shots. The torpedo-boat afterward obtained all the supplies she required. N e et Lo Destroyer Takes on Supplies.

A squall wrecked the schoomer two miles off Beauvolr, in sight of thou- sands of summer excursionists on the beach.

Germany’s Direct Participation Is an Interesting Feature. NEW YORK, ‘July 5—Semi-official details concerning the latest Japanese loan of. $150,000,000 were made public to-day. The bonds will bear interest | at 4% per cent and will be secured by a second lien upon the tobacco | monopoly. The syndicate underwriting the loan consists of the Parres Bank, Limited, of London; the Hongkong and Shanghal Banking Corporation and the Yoko- hama Specie Bank, Limited, with which are associated Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of this city and the Deutsche Asiatische Bank of Berlin. The National City Bank and the “National Bank of Com- merce, both of New York City, will assist Kuhn, Loeb & Co. in the flota- tion in this country. | The loan will be divided into three | parts, London, Berlin and New York each taking $50,000,000. The subscrip- tion price will probably be the same as for the previous loan, which was 87%. of the schooner. The waves were run- ning from six to eight feet high and all on shore believed it was merely a question of how many of the little pas- sengers had been swept away. Then the catboat was seen to head straight for shore under shortened sail. Every parent pushed out into the surf to catch the first glimpse of the rescued children. As the catboat neared the shore it was seen to be loaded down with passengers. When the boat slipped alongside the wharf a dozen called out: ‘How many are lost?” “There ain't nobody hurt,” laughed the skipper. “All they want is a towel and some fire.” His answer broke the tension, and as fathers and mothers and friends hugged and kissed the rescued boys, Captain Martin Green slipped out to sea in his catboat. He does not yet know that he will be recommended for the Gov- ernment life-saving medal and for the Carnegie medal and that he will be given a testimonial here. President's Daughter Entranced police. A car on the Gay street line was over- | whelmed by the flood and the passengers | were rescued by a police patrol wagom with considerable difficulty. When at its | highest, the water extended nearly as far west as Calvert street and to within half |a block of the City Hall on Holliday | street. | In the basement of the building which the offices of the Associated Press | and the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany are located, the water was two feet deep and the delivery department of the Western Unlon was compelled to move. Mayor Timanus came from his home to the City Hall and at once began arrange- ments for caring for sufferers from the flood and In this he was assisted by the | chief city officers. Later the Mayor's headquarters were transferred to a point | nearer the flooded district and every- | thing possible was done to relieve dis- tress. At 3 o’clock this (Thursday) morning the waters are receding slowly and there is little likelihood of further damage be- iug done. Estimates of what has aiready been done would be the merest guess work. —_———————— || Continued From Page 1, Column 3. Bourke Cockran, Representative Henry A.

RUSSIA THOROUGHLY WHIPPED. iy e Czar Signifies. His Desire That Hostili- ties Be Suspended. ST. PETERSBURG, July 5.—Japan has another proof that Russia has decided on peace in the abandonment of further mobilization in the St Petersburg, and other districts, where, in spite of the deplorable internal situatiom, such a step would not have been taken if the Gov- ernment- seriously contemplated a con- tinuation of the war. The situation as regards an armistice is as follows: Russia has formally sig- nified to President Roosevelt her desire for a lasting peace, not only by the &p- pointment of plenipotentiaries who will be accompanied by eminent experts fully empowered to conclude a treaty, subject only to the ratification of ‘the respective governments, but as a final step has in- dicated her readiness to suspend hostili- ties. She has avoided formally asking for an armistice, as a matier of pride; but, under the circumstances, Russia could hardly go further than she has. Japan, so far as known, has not yet in- dicated her attitude; or, if she has, Rus- sia, up to this afternoon, had not been sc informed. In diplomatic circles the most earnest hope is expressed that Japan will con- sent, both for the sake of avoiding fur- ther bloodshed in Manchuria, and, per- haps; in order to prevent a catastrophe in Russia which may shake the Roman- oft dynasty and appall the world by its horrors. An eminent Embassador of a great European power sald: It Japan decline, it may prove to be a mis- fortune for the whole world. The position of Russia is critical. The Emperor, crushed by the defeats in the Far East and with almost civil war at home, has bowed his head to the inevitable. He wants peace and Japan has the proofs in her possession. Japan bas vindi- cated her power before the world and has won the admiration of the world. Nothing becomes a victor so much as a broad spirit of magna- nimity. If Japan still insists upon humiilating the Emperor and forcing a useléss battle, which will result In the loss of iens of thousands of lives, she may produce a cataclysm of anarchy greater than that of the French revolution, which will leave her no Government to ne- gotiate with, Lesides threatening the peace of Europe. The usual precedents for the conclusion of a war are reversed in this case, An armistice generally precedes an agreement on .the time and place for a meeting of the negotlators. Now that the steps which usually follow a suspension of hostilities have been arranged. why should Japan, simply because she enjoys the advantage of the military situation, inflict a defeat, with its accompanying slaughter? Qothig would be gained by It and much might ost. The Bourse Gazette considers that the subscriptions’ received here before October next. In the event of peace resulting from the coming negotations between Russia and Japan the proceeds of this loan Wwill be applied toward the refunding of Japan’'s International dedbt, if not it will go into the coun- try's war credit. EASTERN VISITOR LOSES HIS DIAMOND Accuses a Los Angeles Politician of Having Robbed Him. Speciat Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, July 5.—Billy Appel, erstwhile a deputy constable, politi- cian, private detective and man about town, and ‘a brother of Attorney Hor- ace Appel, is wanted by the police. A warrant for the arrest of Appel on a charge of robbery was, issued Tues- day, and if the statement made by Charles Huntington, a St. Louis broke=, is true, Appel has added the vocation of the stick-up man to his list of ac- complishments. According to the story told by Hunt- ington to the police, he started out on a whirl on the eve of the Fourth and celebrated royally by cuting into the grape at $5 per cut. Wine without the accompaniment of women and song didn’t 1t well, so the man from St. Louis left his hotel, the Lankershim, and sought companions in the down- town resorts. ‘When the gray streaks of dawn marked the beginning of the anniver- sary of the great day of independence, Huntington and several friends were still keeping up the hot pace in one of the private rooms of a restaurant on Spring stréet. A fight was started and then Appel acted as peacemaker. Huntington and Appel left the restau- rant together, but instead of taking him to the Lankershim, Huntington says his quondam friend escorted him to an ailev and robbed him of a dia- mond stud valued at $175, after he had pounded him into insensibility. Appel has disappeared from his usual haunts. —————— DELTA I0TA CHI FRATERNITY .

She was amazed at what she saw, and expressed wonder that such a little city of itself existed in the metropolis of the ‘West. The great stores of the prominent merchants, filled with the goods of the | Orient, interested her immensely. At cne of the leading tea houses the daugh- ter of the President enjoyed a slight re- past. Chopsuey was the principal dish of the menu, but Miss Roosevelt seemed to incline toward a cup of tea. which she enjoyed with great relish. The others in the party entered with equal zest into the spirit of the occasion. Among them were Mrs, Francis G.
