RUSSIANS QUIT NEWCHWANG.
Chinese City Is Occupied Only Tem
porarily.
Washington, May 12.—The state de
partment has received from Minister
Conger a dispatch from Pekin saying
that the Russians re-entered New
chwang and then retired..
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa
dor, said:
"When the Whole truth is known it
will be found that Russia has not vio
lated a .'••ingle pledge made to any na
tion, nor does she intend to do so.
Moreover, whatever steps have been
taken in' Manchuria are only in self
defense."
St. Petersburg, Mfiy 11. The for
eign c9ce here strongly deprecates the
excitement concerning Manchuria. It
believes misc'niefmakers are responsi
ble for the reports, and says the air
rival of troops at Newchwang was
to the retirement of troops from Mouk
den province, southward, instead of
northward. The troops depart by sea.
The other alleged warlike preparations
of Russia are ridiculed.
TAKEN WITHOUT BLOODSHED.
Man Suspected of Murder of Marcum
Is Arrested.
Lexington, Ky., May 12.—The cap
ture of Curtis Jett, charged with the
assassination of J. B. Marcum in Jack
son, Monday, was accomplished with
out bloodshed at 3 o'clock Sunday
morning. He is now in the Clark
county jail at Winchester. "I'll get out
of this all right," was the only state
ment he would make that could be
construed as a reference to the charge.
He said he wanted to be tried in
Breathitt county. He was bitter in de
nouncing his uncle, who had him ar
rested, and said tho spore would be
eveueJ when he was at liberty. When
asked in reference to the statement
that five men would testify that he
killed Marcum he simply sneered and
replied, "What's that to you?"
ONE THRASHING IS ENOUGH.
Moros Offer No Further Opposition to
Americans.
Manila, May 12. Albert Roberts,
his column have returned to Camp
Vicars, Mindanao, from the expedition
through the country east of Lake
L§nap. The column experienced no
opposition after tbe fighting at Taraca.
The prisoners captured at Taraca took
the oath of allegiance to the United
States and were released. Among the
Moros killed in the Taraca forts, were
nine dattos and one sultan. The mora^
effect of this fight will be far-reaching,
and it is doubtful if there will bo any
further hostility in the' Lake Lanno
country. Capt. Pershing estimates
the population of Taraca at 30,000, and
that of the district at 100,000. He
says the population of the Lake Ljinao
district has been underestimated

New York, May 12.—An infernal ma
chine conn.-?otn'l with a hundred
pounds of dynamite was found in a
box on the Cunard pier Saturday.
According to the expert opinion of
the superintendent of the bureau of
combustibles, the box was found and
put into the river just in the nick of
time to prevent it from exploding and
demolishing the p\er and the .Umbria,
which was alongside and about to sail.
The box was left at the pier in an ap
parent attempt to have it placed
aboard with the baggage of the pas
sengers. /The Umbria sailed a few
minutes after the box was discovered
and all on board were in Ignorance cf
the attempt to place an infernal ma
chine aboard the vessel.
Greeting From Mafia.
The discovery of the box was due to
the following letter received at police
headquarters, addressed to Commis
sioner Greene:
"Dear Sir: The Mafia greets you
and wishes you well. At the Cunard
dock is a box containing one hundred
pounds of dynamite. Inside also is a
machine, properly set, and explodes
itself any time within thirty-six hours.
The society has declared war against
England and has ordered the destruc
tion of every steamer flying the British
flag that sail out of New York harbor.
The undersigned received orders to
begin operations by sinking the
Oceanic, but so many women and chil
dren took passage on the boat that, the
society's plans were changed at the
last minute. The machine in the box
(the first made, and a crude affair)
is enclosed simply to show how easy
it is
To Sink a Steamer.
and to convince those interested that
the. society ia not making idle threats.
The Bociety has undertaken to clear
New York harbor of British ships, and
It will succeed. The reason for this
movement the society does not wish to
disclose suffice it to say that the so
ciety, in order to protect itself, must
carry the war into the enemy's coun
try. and it goes without saying that it
proposes to wage war as fiercely as it
knows how. This is the society's first
and last warning, and those who pro
pose to patronize British steamers
must take their chances in the future.
The society asks and glve^o quarter,
bo—lay on, lay on McDuff and damn'd
be he that cries hold—enough.
—"Pietro de Martini."
"P. S. The battery Is not attached,
fuses without caps and lighters not
set. Consequently there is no danger
in handling the "box."
The box was left at .the pier by two
men, apparently Italians, who drove a
light wagon, and who told the baggage
master that it would be claimed by a
passenger.
