tory Information concerning Vice Ad
miral Rojestvensky's use of Indo-China
waters has reached the Japanese Gov
ernment froih a variety of sources,
both official and private, i A nigh Japa
nese official , to-day sketched the im
portant acts of the Russian fleet since
France* was first moved to preserve
neutrality. He said:
"The Governqr General of Indo-China
officially reported that the Russian fleet
had entirely departed from Kamranh
Bay on April 22, but on April 23 there
still remained in the bay one cruiser,
one torpedo-boat destroyer and fifteen
transports of the Russian- fleet On
April 24 the entire Russian, fleet re
entered Kamranh Bay and rode at an
chor until April 26, when a majority of
the warships sailed, leaving, behind
four converted . cruisers and one tor
pedo-boat destroyer. These latter ves
sels took supplies I of coal .and provi
sions. On the evening of the 26th these
vessels stopped and examined the Ger
man steamship Loo Sok and the Nor
wegian steamship Providence, which
passed outside of the bay. \u25a0 . \u25a0•. \u25a0
"On April 27 more than thirty Rus
sian vessels were anchored at Honkohe,
and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon they
stopped and examined the British
steamship Stettin, which was passing.
"According to the French official . re
port Vice Admiral Rojestvensky prom
ised Admiral de Jonquieres that he
would leave Honkohe on May 3.- It is
evident, however, that .the Russians
were anchored at Honkohe on May 8. \u25a0\u25a0.
"The . latest telegrams j from [ .Indo-
China indicate the presence at Honkohe
on -May 12 of seven Russian .'"battle
ships, seven 'cniisers,*.two torpedo-boat
destroyers and four converted- cruisers.
: "Since the appearance of the Russian
fleet -in- the-iF.arrEesferjSaigon, has... be
come a base for the. transportation of
military supplies for. Vice Admiral Ro
jestvensky's fleet. The number of ves
sels furnishing euppHea -to-" the-
sians is so .great that those, which were
anchored at Saigon on May 5 were
countable by tens." • ji.*^.*.

BONESTEEL, S. ; D., May 14.— T0
segregate from nearly % 10,000-- matrl T
monlal", proposals offers" that^' mean!,
business ; is the purpose of the 'Bone-. 1
steel Matrimonial Club, organized by
120 . young women who , drew prizes,
when^the; Rosebud Indian Reservation
was opened for, occupancy^ l ; ' i;
Spedal Dispatch to The Call.
This was evidently a great* dlsap
onintment to Edward J. Smith. We.de-
None of Smith's, brothers, were 'at
Point Richmond: or at the '.Santa Fe
depot on . this side of ; the bay to greet
him. The brother who is alleged' to
have advanced $165,000 to save the de
faulting Tax Collector on a former oc
casion did not make his appearance.
The gangplank rattled down and the
man who was once a respected official
sf San Francisco,, with bowed head and
6haking limbs, was swept across with
the crowd.
Smith turned away from the crowd
that gathered around him on the boat
and. walked to the outer deck. As the
Eteamer drew near the city he began
to tremble and bowed his bead. Shame
or fear overcame him as he saw the
lights along the water front and rea
lized that he must soon face all those
whom he had wronged. .
"I refuse to answer any questions,"
he declared. "If anybody follows me
I will walk around town all night. I
•tvill not tell my name or what my busi
ness is with Smith."
Fut when the stranger was question
ed he refused to reveal his Identity.
"I have nothing to say now. You will
hear from me later on."
"Are you Smith's attorney?" was
asked.
When Smith boarded the boat the
Btranger darted away from him and
tried to lose himself in the crowd.
"That is my lawyer," asserted Smith.
"Go talk to him."
But Smith's blue lips closed tlrbtly
when the Inquiry was centered about
the $165,000. "It was put uo byc-my
brother," he declared, and that was
all that could be got out of him.
when Smith stepped off the Santa Fe
train at Point Richmond he waa met
by a mysterious stranger, who claimed
to be an attorney. The fellow walked
with Smith to the boat»and engaged
him in a short whispered conversa
tion.
The story of the alleged- shortage of
$165,000 was the signal, for Smith. to
cease all conversation. Jt»waa ;tbe
point that Foreman Andrews dwelt
upon most persistently.' The foreman
of the Grand Jury is certain that be
hind it la a big conspiracy.
The defaulter has had but little
eleep since he left St. Louis. Through
the nights he tossed about in his berth.
Bometlmes moaning, sometimes mut
tering and frequently cursine. •
Wren appeared to be rather chagrin
ed when Foreman Andrews boarded
the train at Needles. He objected
strenuously to the foreman of "the
Grand Jury seeing the prisoner at'-'all,
but when Andrews presented an order
from Chief Dinan, Wren yielded and
Smith was taken from the train. \u25a0 .;»
From the time he left St. Louis,
Bmith refused to talk about his-'4e
falcatloaa with either Detective "Wren
or Detective Co"warden. "I'll OTme
along all right, but Tin not going to
talk," «he declared. ..-,. «>\u25a0:
Prom the way that the defaulter
was treated it would be hard to real
ize that he was a malefactor being
brought back to Justice. He might
have been a tourist in the minds of
those who saw him but for his hag
gard face and his shifting eyes that
could not meet any glance.
His clothing hung about him loose
ly. He has lost over fifty pounds since
his arrest. His face, however, still
retains the swollen fullness of the T^a™
who has dissipated. yn* eyeballs are
bloodshot and there are big pouches
under the eyes.
TREATED LIKE A TOURIST.
Wren obligingly granted the request
of the criminal. 'At Bakersfield his
lunch was brought to' him in his pri
vate compartment and he supped in
state at Merced. The remarkable con
sideration shown the prisoner was
commented upon extensively. \u0084
After the interview with Andrews
and Ralph Smith of the National
Surety Company. Smith asked ; Wren
to keen him where he could- not be
seen. "I vrant to be where ng one can
gape at me," he said. v"Dbh't ! let
camera men get at me, for God's
sake."
Had it not been for this violent dem
onstration, the other people in the Pull
man would not have known that the
defaulting Tax Collector was on the
same car with them. • .
"You be ," shouted Smith, and
in his puerile rage he stamped upon
the pai>ers, then tore them to pieces
and flung them out of the window. The
paroxysm lasted so long that the two
detectives thought for a while that the
mun's reason had forsaken him.
"Oh, well, there axe lots who have
been worse treated than . you," ob
served Wren Boothingly. "Take it
easy."
When Smith received the papers from
San Francisco at Fresno he new Into a
hysterical re^e and his curses could be
heard all through the Pullman.
"They've treated me like ," he
shouted.
"Why didn't you leave the country?
Didn't, you know that you would be
caught in" time?" -
"I only had $700 with me. How
could I go any place with that?"
"Why did you take Lieona Brooks
with you?"
"I — well, that's nobody's business."
STA3IPS OX PAPERS.
"What right has he got to hold me
up this way?" Smith snarled. "I don't
\u25a0want to talk to anyone till I see my
attorney and my brothers." .
When Andrews left Los Angeles he
turned toward Smith and said, "Good
bye." The defaulter turned on his
heel and swore beneath his breath.
Wnlle ttoe detectives were at lunch
s. Call reporter interviewed Smith
through the window.
"I'll tell my story to the police," he
declared. "I won't talk now. JThe
papers have been making me out a
cigarette fiend and giving me a rotten
deal all around." .
"He is an awful liar,*' declared An
drews, when the interview was fin
ished. "He is a thorough crook."
All the way from Needles Smith
cursed Andrews. He had been permit
ted to do as he pleased and was not
bothered until the foreman of the
Grand Jury instilled into him the fact
that he was* a common criminal.
Smith was enraged when • Foreman
Andrews had him taken from the train
at The Needles. His replies to An
drews were short and snappish. But
the energetic foreman put him through
a sterner sweating than a criminal has
received for some time.
Drews of the Grand Jury are certain
that the defaulter has stored away
some of the loot -until such a time as
the prison doors that will probably
soon close on him shall open.
