OYAMA'S FORCES READY.
Moves on Sea Still Hidden — Lines
to Fortress Working.
Et. Petersburg:. May 24. The news from th«
front continues to point to the promixlty of
flghfii | on a large sc.-ile. Many persons here
believe that General Ldneyltch is trying to take
the offensive out of Fir-Id Marphal Oya».-na's
ha;. The Japanese commander has made all
preparations against possible terruptton of his
communications and tho cessation of transport
eervire from home ports. All reinforcements
available and immense quantities of provisions
and munli of war have been landed at Ying-
Kow and Dalny since ■ IB ■■ stvensky ap
peared In the Strait of Malacca.
Newspape correspondents at the front are
prevented by the censor from telegraphing any |
Intel!*., view of the situation, and this has
always be»n the precursor of important devel-
Opmei ■ General Ltnevltch has taken far greater
precautions than did General Kuropatkin to
prevent his plans from leaking- out.
In Daval cird?s it is now generally assumed
that Admiral Rojestvensky's squadrons are in ;
the Pacific steaming northward and giving the
fastaaona, Formosa and the Liu-Klu Islands a
trlds berth hi order to minimize the danger of a
concentrated torpedo attack nr.d to force Ad
mjral Togo, should he elect to accept battle, to
meet him in the open sea.
All idea that the Russian Admiral will attempt
to force a passage of the Corean Straits has
been abandoned. Both La Perouse Strait, he
tween the IslandS of Hokkaido and Saghallen.
and the Tsugaru Straits, between the islands of
HokkaHo and Hondo, were reconnoitred by th«»
cruisers and destroyers at Vladivostok nnd the
results communicated to Admiral Rojestvensky
before he left the coast of French Indo-China.
Difpatches were received from Harbin to-day
say'ng that both the railroad and the telegraph
lines to Vladivostok were working, and the re
port from Tokio that the fortress had been iso
lated was said to be false. There are two lines
to Vladivostok, one direct by way of Khaba
rov«k and the other by way of Harbin.

CHICAGO FEARS RIOTS
J/Otfi? GUARDS SWORN IN.
Union Leader May Be Sent to Jail
for Contempt of Court.
Chicago. May 24.— Final rejection of the team
sters' demand* was officially announced to-day
by the employers, who demand unconditional
surrender. Neither side In the strike made a
direct step toward peace, and each was ap
parently waiting for the other to move. The
employers Bent their goods all over the city
under police protection without encountering
violence.
There was one indirect peace effort to-day,
and it was enveloped In mystery. It was nnld
thnt "a prominent business man" was making
efforts to induce the manaßers <>f the express
companies to make terms satisfactory to the
striking drivers, and that ho had promised them
"good news." Nothing came of the alleged at
tempt, however, and there was no "pood news"
to-night for either side.
The strike in the lumber yards spread with
great rapidity and nearly all lumber business
is at a standstill. Some few lumber yards are
still in operation, but their business is small.
A number of planing mills and sash and door
factories were compelled to shorten operations
to-day and by Friday, at temst, will be compelled
to close entirely if the supply of lumber is not
largely Increased. The lumber yards made
little effort to transact business to-day and
were waiting for drivers to be sent them by
the Employers' Teaming Company. A number
of these, it js expected, will be at work to
morrow and business will be resumed in a small
degree at leu fa.
One cause for the lack of energy on the part
of the employers in the lumber yards to-day
•was that the city was not able to afford the
drivers police protection. Mayor Dunne pro
vided against this contingency to-night by issu
ing a call for l,<>oo extra policemen, who will be
sworn in as rapidly as applications are filed by
suitable men. This will be the second 1.000
of extra policemen sworn In since the beginning
of the strike. Sheriff Barrett to-day swore in
several hundred deputies, the largest num'. *er at
any one time since the strike began.
President C. P. Phea, of the Teamsters' Union;
James B. Barry, business agent of the Kxpre#s
Drivers' Union; Bernard Mulligan, president of
the Express Drivers' Union, and John H. Dona
hue, a member of the Express Drivers' Union.
will appear before Judge Kohlsaat in the United
States Court to-morrow morning. Mr. Mayer,
acting for the Employers' Association, will ask
th^t the men be Font to Jail on a rharef of i-or.
t'-mpt of court in refustng to answer questions
before Master In Chancery Sherman, which
questions they had previously b*en ordure, l to
answer by the court.
The men wert: ordered to make answer on
Tuesday, although they claimed personal privi
lege In refusing. To-day they were asked the
F.nr.ip questions, and when they agnin refused to
reply Attorney Mayer announced that he would
make a motion that they be arrested for con*
t'^rnpt of court.

have been cited for contempt ■ >!" court it. violat
ing the Injunctions of Judge Kohlsaat, prohibit
ing them from interfering with the wagons of
iho seven express companies and "f the Ki!i

to show cause <>n May SI. at 1<» o'clock, why
they should not be punished for contempt.
Extra fire protection for the lumber district
was provided by Fire Marshal Campion late this
afternoon. .T. M. Embree, of the Rlttenhouse
& Embree Lumber Company, requested
Marshal Campion to station extra steamers in
the district and promptly met with a favorable
reply. Other employers united with Mr. Embree
in stating apprehension as to tiivs in the lumber
district.
Sheriff Barrett to-day issued the following
signed card to the public:
In view of existing conditions In Chicago, the
Sheriff of Cook County begs all citizens to keep

Telegram, Asking for $50, Bore
Missing Boi/'s Same.
The parents of Siegfried Roeblinsr. the missing
fourteen-yenr-old grandson of Washington A.
Roebllng. builder of the Brooklyn Bridge, re
calved a cruel disappointment yesterday through
a telegram to the grandfather at Trenton, N. J .
purporting- to be from the missing boy. The
person accused of sending the telegram was
locked up. Meanwhile the grandfather hail tele
graphed to Ashrville, N. ('.. telling the parents
that the boy had been found. The purr'
the Impostor was to get $50 from the grand
father.
Young Roobling ran away from school several
days ago. sending a note saying he was "going
rambling," as told in The Tribune.
The telegram of yesterday snid:
Grandfather: Please send me $50. Intend
going S- uth. but have no money. Will explain
by letter. aSIEGFRIED.

Mr Roebllng sent his secretary. Victor Xor
man. to New-York, telling him to bring; back his
grandson. Mr. Norman found that No. 1,2->~
Broadway was a Western I'nion office. He
found that the original message was not in
Siegfried's handwriting.
While there the sender of the message called
by telephone to see if an answer had come.
Mr. Norman answered and knew that the voli~»»
was not that of his employer's grandson, but he
answered. "Yes, the money is here for you;
come right around."
A few minutes later a young man. about
twenty years old. entered and announced that
he was Roebling. He was arrested at once.
The young man said a youth had requested
him to get a message for him addressed to
Roebllng. The description of this youth, as
given by the prisoner, did not tally with that of
the missing boy. The police do not believe the
prisoner's story.
