ODESSA, July 26.—The Governor of Odessa has issued an extraordinary proclamation, which may have the ef- fect of increasing the already bitter feeling against the Jews among the t1oops and more ignorant classes of the | population. The Governor says he has received a number of anonymous let- | ters from persons designating them- | selves as soclalists, which he has ig- nored, belleving that in many cases these communications were inspired by es of personal vengeance. The proclamation continues: “Letters have also come from the Jews charging the police with prepar- ing for a Jewish massac: , but he adds: . | action “The v tonished at the Jews addre: letters to him, knowing that it is the Jews themselves who caused all the disorders.

Cut Off the Escape of Russians From Saghailen Island. ST. PETERSBURG, Ju 27.—Dis- patches from Manchuria report the landing of a Japanese battalion and the capture of a lighthouse on the Si- berian coast near Dekastries, a port formerly called Alexandrovsk, 700 miles north of Vladivostok, after a prelimi- nary shelling by torpedo-boat destroy- ers. : Military officials here attach import- ance to the episode only in connection with the Saghalien campaign and say that as the landing was effected at a place where the Straits of Tartary, be- tween Shaglien and the mainland, are the narrowest, it apparently is part of the strategy of the Japanese to prevent the escape of the Russian garrison in Saghalien across the straits. They add that the landing is too far north to have any bearing on the Manchurian campaign or operations against Vladi- vostok. LLONDON, July 27.—The Japanese land- ing at Dekastries, which is the terminus of the only cable line iconnecting the main- land with the island of Saghalien, is re- garded by the London morning news- papers as an attempt: to seize the mouth of the Amur River in order to enable the Japanese to dispatch an’army up that great waterway for the purpose of threat- ening the Russian communication. Jap- anese gunboats and torpedo boats could thus reach Harbin and give effective as- sistance to any attack on the Russian fortifications.

LONDON, July 26.—A dispatch to the Telegraph from Qsaka says it is re- ported that a Japanese army number- ing many thousands is now vigorously attacking the Russian positions on the Tumen River.

Count Douglas Saye Sweden Should Not Permit Norway’s Withdrawal. STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 26— Count L. Douglas, former Minister for Foreign Affairs for Sweden and Nor- wa vince of Ostergoetland and leader of the Storsvenska, or patriotic party, whose name has been mentioned as the next Premier of Sweden, said to-day of the crisis between Sweden and Norway: In the first excitement after the Norwi revolution, and after the Swedish DPnpllaesk:::]‘ recovered from the stunni insult to it and Ilvr King, many persons came to the conclu- sion that, if ihe Norweglans are unwilling to live in peace with us and share the ap- parent biessings of this union of more than ninety years' duration, let them go their own way and we will g0 ours, have chosen a more honorable off this union. That, at least, we might have good reason to expect. Now, when the first excltement has passed, Sweden ought to exert herseif to the utmost not to give up the union, because, in reality, the differences are eo insignificant that they could easily be overcome. A new union must be offered by us to the Norwegians, founded on full liberty, equality and interior independence of both countries, but in which the prineiple that the Scandinavian peninsula, as against the world, Is one, must be consequently carried through. Thus we must, besides a_common king, have a common department of foreign affairs, of commy and navigation, of war and of the nuvy. And the peninsula must be joined: in a commercial union, »o far as the com- mercial policy is concerned. ~All the places in these four departments, from {he highest to the lowest, should be open to either Swedes or Norwegians. A unfon parliament, meet- ing alternately in Stockholm and Christiania, should have control over the common inter- ests, and to this parliament the cabinet mem- bers for the common departments should be responsible. Let me express the and Norwegilal abode in th see things here at home In that c which distance sometimes enables us to In thelr unblased opinions I think they will see that such a settlement of the crisis as here outlined is not only feasible but the most favorable and honorable for both parties. way to break wa do. —_——— Pottery Trust Is the Latest.

Conneli, operative in charge of the United States Secret Service Bureau, says raised bills, which even the de- partment officials have difficulty in de- tecting, are being circulated in the West.

Yielding to the senti-| ment of the community, the State Board of Health Monday adopted new regula- | tions for the fruit ships, providing that| they should remain six days at quaran-| tine between the last port and New Or-| ieans and providing for fumigation here after the discharge of the cargo. The Board of Health desired to glve | these ships an opportunity to come in and then put the new regulations into| effect. Dr. Scouchon, after the confer- ence, decided to put the regulation into immediate effect and so instructed the | quarantine officer. Later he summoned | the fruit importers to his office and ex- | plained the matter to them. Naturally | | they objectea, but they realized that the | | sentiment of the community was such that personal feeling would not be al- lowed to interfere in the present emer- | gency. The people are convined that the infection was brought here by the fruit | steamers, and if 1t became necessary to | make the regulations so stringgnt as to | drive them away, in the present feeling, | such regulations would be enforced. DOCTORS IN CONFERENCE. In view of the many quarantine compli- | cations which have arisen, Dr. Scouchon has called a conference here next Sun- day of the health officers of Texas, Mississippi and Alabama to discuss | quarantine resulations and devise a sys- | tem by which travelers can be admitted | | with certificates of the Marine Hosplia Service. Surgeon White, who is in charg of all the Government work, will be pres- ent and participate. The work of locating | | the detentlon camps is progressing, | though that has been slower than at first | anticipated. The residents of Kenner ob- | jected to-the camp and it was located at | Hanran, near the railroad yards. The locations of the other camps have been filled and supplies are now being sent to | them. The intection of the original focus seems to'be dying out, as fewer new cases are being reported there, which is. a hopeful sign, indicating that the modern | methods have been etfective. | The work now is to locate the new | | foci and treat them in the same manner. | | Physicians are now reporting all cases |of fever, and wherever there is the | slightest suspicion, rigid sanitary rules are applied with the result that up to now there has been no spread of any case from any of these new foci. Thoss | which are developing are all traceable | directly to the original focus in the ca- | nal quarter. | | The emergency hospital was opened | | to-day and patients removed to it in a | screened ambulance. Dr. John Guiteras, | now president of pathology in the Uni- versity of Havana, but formerly of the | Marine Hospital Service, and who rep- resented that service here during the | fever of 1897, has been ordered here by | the Cuban Government and will arrive | | to-morrow.
