Turley, 2 young employe of one T060S GUNS ~ ATTACK RED - (ROSS SHIPS Surgeon Accuses the Vice Admiral of i _ Barbarism. “By Admiral Togo's orders, the Jap- anese fired upon and captured two Rus- | sian hospital ships which were engaged in the work of saving wounded men from drowning and in explanation later of their violation of the treaty of Ge- neva, the Japanese lied.” So says Dr. Henry Paris, who was a | surgeon on the Russian hospital ship | Orel, from the deck of which vessel he | saw the beginning of the battle of the | Sea of Japan, wnich resulted so disas- trously for the Czar's naval glory. Dr. | Paris arrived yesterday, a passenger on the liner Korea. He is a Frenchman {and was on the Orel as a delegate from the Red Cross Soclety of France. The Orel is a vessel about the size of the Manchuria and was in command | of Dr. Mouitanoffsky. Lieutenant Lack- matoff was the navigator and of arms there was on board, says Dr. Paris, not |even a revolver. | "It was at 2 o'clock p. m. of May 27,” | the doctor relates, “that we heard | heavy firing. The Orel and another hos- pital ship, the Kostroma, were in com- pany. It was very foggy. The first thing we saw was the Russian battle- | ship Borodino. She was on fire and in {the water all around were wounded | Russian sailors.- We started in to pick | up these men, when two Japanese | cruisers suddenly appeared and opened fire on us with their big guns. At the | Orel seven shots were fired, but they all missed. Then one of the Japanese cruisers signaled us to follow her. " ‘What do you want? we signaled back. “‘You should understand better than any one else, was their reply. “We asked to be allowed to pick the wounded men from the water but were ordered to follow, or there would be more shooting. The Orel and the Kos- troma followed the cruisers to Tsu- shima, where a Japanese officer came on board with a prize crew and took charge of the-ship. “We asked this officer why he had | fired on ships fiying the Red-Cross flag and he replied that it had been done by Admiral Togo's orders, in retaliation for Russian violations of the treaty of Gexkeva. Later on they had another ex- plafiation, but it was plainly a lie. Be- fore meeting the Japanese, the Russian fleet had captured a British transport, heavily laden with contraband. Ex- pecting a battle and not wishing to endanger the lives of the captured transport’s officers, the latter were placed on board the Orel. This trans- fer was made at sea only a few days before and the Japanese could have had no knowledge of it until they boarded later investigation, frontery to say that in having these men on board we had used-the vessel in violation of the Geneva treaty and that they had fired on us because these men were on board. “The Orel and Kostroma were taken to Sasebo, where for fifteen days all on ' board were held close prisoners. They the Orel at Tsushima; and yet, at a| ef- | {mey had the ef- | {{{ributed to bim. To a woman ne met || (- were not allowed to communicate with their government or with anybody else. The Japanese later sent the Orel's crew back to Russia. They agreed to re- lease the Kostroma, but changed their minds and sent her officers and crew away on othér vessels. They have the grel and Kostroma and will keep them oth. Of the battle, Dr. Paris knows little. Its oqutcome he did not learn until weeks afterward. From the Orel he saw the Russian battleship Borodino burst into flames. He saw her sailors leap into the water. Those on the Orel | tried to save them, but were prevented by the Japanese. As the fog shut the blazing Borodino from view, the fire- wreathed and shot-shattered battleship seemed just about to sink. Dr. Paris says the discipline on the Orel and on the Kostroma was perfect. ——————— ROBBER ZIMMERMAN SECURES A DELAY T Court Grants Counsel's Request Postponement of the Sentencing Day. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call MARTINEZ, July 10.—John Zimmer- man, ex-convict, convicted of being one of the robbers who held up and robbed the messengers sent by the = Central Bank of Oakland to Point Richmond with money to pay off the employes of the oil works, was to have appeared for sentence before Superior Judge Wells this morning. When the case was called Attorney Jones, who represents Zimmerman, and who was to have submitted his reasons why a new trial should be granted the accused, stated that the transcript of the testimony of the examination had not. been completed, hence he was un- able to submit to the court his request for a new trial. District Attorney Alvarado agreed that there should be a continuance for the reason mentioned by Attorney Jones, so Judge Wells put the matter over until August 14 at 10 a. m. An earlier date was not given, for the rea- son that Judge Wells is going away on { his vacation. ! In the meantime Zimmerman will re- main in jail in default of the neces- sary bail money. for DEATH OF A YOUTH DUE TO LOCKJAW Boy Injured on Fourth of July In Killed | by Tetanus.

Mikado’s Forces Experiencing No Difficulty in Effecting the Con- quest of the Island. TOKIO, July 10.—ihe announcement of the landing of a Japanese force at Saghalien Island and the occupation of Karsakovsk, followed by the north- ern flight of the garrison, has been re- ceived with great satisfaction by the Japanese. The landing of the army at Saghalien marks the first entry of the Japanese upon Russian territory proper. The Japanese are pleased to be again in possession of the island, declaring that they have long felt that the bar- gain under which they relinquished it forty years ago was unsatisfactory. The Japanese believe that they will speedily control the entire island, as they regard the garrison there as being | ineapable of serious resistance. The following report has been re-! ceived from the Japanese army_head- | quarters on Saghalien Island: “Our army, without much resistance, occupied Karsakovsk early on July 8. The enemy burned the town and re- tired to positions eight miles north, where they resumed resistance. We | dislodged them and are now in pursuit. | At 11 o'clock on the morning of July 8 | the enemy had retreated to a point | twenty-two miles north of Karsakovsk. We captured two twelve-centimeter | guns, two twelve-pounders and also an | amount of ammunition. We su(leredl no loss.” Admilral Kataoka reports, of July 7, as follows: “My squadron went north and, act- ing in conformity with a prearranged plan, landed marines on July 7 at a point previously chosen. There was no resistance and a portion of our army had already been landed.” Under date of July 8, Kataoka re- ports: “One of our torpedo destroyers re- ported on the afterrnoon of July 7 that Karsakovsk wus burning. The forts, previously shelled by the destroyers, were then silent. Our army arrived at Yenguma on the afternon of the 7th.” Under date of July 9, Admiral Kata- oka says: “The squadron convoyed the trans- ports through dense fogs on July 5. The fleet preserved good order and reached the point chosen for concen- tration on the evening of July 7. The fleet anchored and the work of sweep- ing the sea of dangerous obstacles was completed. The transports led in grad- ually. The warships lowered launches and assisted in landing the troops, guardships protecting the operation. Admiral Dewa reported that his di- vision had reached the lanaing point at 6 o'clock In the morning and a landing ‘was effected. A reconnoissance was conducted, but no defenses were found. Only three guards were discovered. The flotilla engaged in sweeping the sea of dangerous obstacles encountered heavy currents, but speedily pressed the work. A portion of the squadron and the transports were led through the cleared space and marines were landed from the combined divisions. Later the army relieved the marines. “Our sweeping division was suddenly shelled from the hills south of Kar- sakovsk. The cruiser Akagi also was exposed to the fire, but the sweeping was concluded without damage. “The army reported by wireless on July 8 that Karsakovsk had been taken. Our flags were visible at several points. We were apprehensive on account of the weather, but the work of the fleet was successfully accomplished. Ad- miral Nakao reconnoitered in the vi- cinity of the island to-day, but nothing unusual was discovered. “Barly to-day three warships and ! two destroyers were dispatched to Yen- zuma Cape. Later a destroyer entered Rolisei and was vigorously shelled by‘ a fleld piece. We returned the fire and | silenced the enemy’s guns.” i e under date | JAPAN IN NO HURRY FOR PEACE. No Armistice Likely Until the Pleni- potentiaries Meet. ST. PETERSBURG, July 10.—Al- though ten days have elapsed since Russia informed President Roosevelt of her willingness to conclude an armis- tice pending the result of the Washing- ton. conference, Japan, so far as known to the Russian Government, has not deigned to reply to the President’s coramunication. When the question of an armistice was first broached by the President, it is understood, Japan in- dicated that she would decline to agree to a suspension of hostilities until the plenipotentiaries met. Russia agreed in principle to this as the basis for nego- tiations. Since then the Russian Gov- ernment feels it has given ample proof of its desire to conclude’peace, and it is possible it may go a step further. But the impression here is that, now that the Japanese have made a descent upon the island of Saghalien, they are determined to get the island firmly in their grasp before the negotiations are begun. This is an easy task, as the small Russjan force on the island Is in no position to contest its occupa- tion. sl e OFFENDED BY PRESIDENT. Congressional Committee Declares It Has Been Slighted. WASHINGTON, July 10.—President Roosevelt has offended the Congres- sional dignity of the joint committee of the two houses, which is officlally recognized as custodian of the Con- gressional library. It appears that the President, in his zeal to bring about a speady reconciliation between Russia ,and Japan, tendered the use of a small portion of the library to the peace en- voys, without ing through the for- mality of askin® permission from the joint committee In charge of the library. . “Where does the President derive his authority to take possession of certain apartments in the library bullding?” exclaimed an excited member of the committee. The committeeman added that, of course, there would be no objection to the peace envoys holding their session in the libray building. On the con- trary, he said, the accommodations there are better suited for the purpose than any other of “many places sug- gested. What disturbs the committee- men is that they should have been ig- nored entirely by the President. ol FRENCH SPY PUNISHED. Bougoin Sentenced to Tenm Years’ Im- prisonment at Hard Labor. TOKIO, July 10.—A. E. Bougoln and his interpreter, Maki, have been found guilty in the district court of a viola- tion of the law in regard to the preser- vation of military secrets. Bougoin has been sentenced to ten years’ imprison- ment with hard labor and Maki to eight years’ imprisonment without labor. It is expected that an appeal will be taken. A. E. Bougoin, a prominent French resident of Tokio and formerly a dis- tinguished officer in the French army, was arrested on May 10, together with his employe and Strang, his son-in-law, an Engiishman, as a spy. It was al- leged at the time that the trio gave military information to the Russian Government. At the preliminary exam- ination a few days later Strang was discharged on the ground of insuffii- ciency of evidence, while Bougoin and his servant were held for trial. S e i SUMMER MEETING PLACE CHOSEN. Peace Plenivotentiaries to Convene at the Portsmouth Navy Yard. WASHINGTON, July 10.—Third As- sistant Secretary of State Pearce to- day announced that the plenipoten- tiaries of Russia and Japan had agreed ! upon Portsmouth, N.
