Russian Minister Presses His
Claims and Fear That Strained
Relations Cannot Be Much
Longer Maintained Without
Open Breach Between Russia
and Chinese.
Tientsin, March 21.The Chinese
believe that Russia is seeking an op
portunity to attack this country, so
persistent is the Russian minister in
renewing his protests and in making
threats.
The Russian minister at Peking has
renewed his protest against the dis
patch of Chinese forces outsi de the
great wall. makes the request for
their withdrawal and intimates that
otherwise Russia may be compelled to
act on the assumption that China is
abandoning her neutrality in favor of
Japan.
Furthermore, h'is excellency renews
the thre at that on the slightest move
ment on the part of China Russian
troops will march on Peking. It is
understood that the Chinese govern
ment has in reply, refused to recall
her soldiers.
GERMAN PROTECTION ASKED.
Russia Would Turn Over Interests at
Newchwang.
Yinkow, March 21.The German
consul at Tientsin will arrive at New
chwang shortly. It is reported that
the Russian officials have approached
Germany with the object of engaging
German protection of Russian property
at Newchwang, particularly the Russo
Chinese bank, and this is the object
of the consul's visit. It is thought un
likely that Germany will undertake the
task, which, it is reported, France re
cently declined.
There are no Chinese laborers in
the vicinity of Newchwang construct
ing defenses, though Russian infantry
are conducting evolutions on the plain
about the fort.
The Liao river is open for a consid
erable distance from its mouth.
RUSSIANS HAVE RETIRED.
Only Tw Hundred Cossack Scouts
South of the Yalu.
Tokio, March 21.With the excep
tion of some 200 Cossacks the Russian
forces have retired beyond the Yalu.
The Cossacks are em .loved scouting
betwe en the river and Piugyang. Forty
thousand Russians are concentrated
at Kiullencheng. Between Kiullun
cheng and Antting there are a line of
posts consisting of five Cossacks each,
distant 500 yards from one another.
The Japanese attach no importance to
the Russian force at Possiet bay. They
will refuse minor engagements until
the serious business of the war be
gins. Th report that the Russian
destroyer Skori was blown up while
entering Port Arthur is confirmed.

requires two trains. Three thousand
mechanics are going to reconstruct
them.
Military men are confident of the
inability of the Japanese to land forces
in Port Arthur or Dalny, declaring
two attempts have be en repulsed al
read y.
The report that the destroyer Skori
was sunk by a mi ne in Port Arthur
waters is officially denied
RUSSIANS ARE SUSPICIOUS.
Doubt China's Sincerity in Observing
Neutrality.
St. Petersburg. March 21The gov
ernment's private information is not
completely reassuring as regards
China's sincerity in observing a neu
tral attitude. Secret advices indicate
that at least a powerful party in the
Chinese government is abetting the
Japanese. Although at first reluctant
to credit these reports the Russian au
thorities continue to receive evidence
that the Japanese contemplate land
ing on Chinese neutral territory, west
of the Liao river, and 17,000 men are
being held especially to await develop
ments in that direction.
Moreover the emperor's naval ex
perts, who have been studying care
fully the puzzle as to where Vice Ad
miral Togo's- fleet is coaling and pro
visioning between its appearances off
Port Arthur, are becoming more and
more convinced that it is using as a
base some quiet spot on tfee Chinese
coast. After each disappearance* not
a -word is heard of the fleet's where
abouts until it reappears. A calcula
tion of time and distanc es shows it is
quite impossible for the fleet to steam
to Nagasaki or Hiroshima, take on
board coal and ammunition and comet
bac k. It is also certain the Japanese
warships could not take on coal, much
less heavy projectiles, at sea in the
face of the prevailing rough weather.
The idea that they arc using Chemul
po, Fusan or some other p'IKce on the
Korean coast for- this purpose is re
jected, as it is believed that if such
were the case the numerous secrel
correspondents and secret agents of
the Russians in Korea would certain
ly have reported the fact.
CORRESPONDENT BARRED.
British Minister Refuses to Endorse
Application.
Tokio, March 21.The British min
ister refuses to endorse the applica
tion of Halos, the correspondent ot the
London Daily News, to accompany the
Japanese army, giving as his reason
that Hales' reports from the Trans
vaal during the Boer war were slan
derous of the British army.
The Japanese government requires
that all correspondents should have
the endorsement of the resident min
ister of fhe countries they represent
liales will, therefore, Be excluded from
all connection with the army move-,
ments.

Pes Moines, March 21 The Iowa
house has passed a bill requiring rail
roads to issue return passes to stork
shippers of Iowa. The measure was
backed by the Iowa Meat Producers'
association. The measure also requires
railroads to provide proper aecommo
dations for the slock shippors from the
shipping point.
WOULD END INSURRECTIONS
UNITF.D STATES MAY RECOGNIZE
MORALES AS PRESIDENT OF
SAN DOMINGO.
Washington, March 21.It is prob
able that an end may be made of the
Dominican difficulties by the extension
on the part of the United States gov
eminent of full recognition to General
Morales as president of San Domingo.
One result of the Mayflower's recent
trip to San Domingo was to confirm
the oflkial opinion that Morales has
sufficient strength of character and re
saurces to maintain a stable govern
ment if tho~-United States and other
nations will prevent the illicit supply
of arms and ammunition to the Insur
gent s. As it is the arrival of every
vessel with ammunition in her cargo
marks the revival of he revolutionary
movement, which seems quite purpose
less. Ihe state department already
has given some information on this
subject to the shipping interests doing
busine ss with San Domingo, having
satisfied Itself that nearly all of the
arms and ammuniti on import ed into
San Domingo came from th" United
States, and there may be further ac
tion in this direction before Ion,-, all
with the view to terminate the present
deplorable condition in San Domingo
without direct intervention by the
United States.
ACTUAL WORK' ON CANAL.
Construction to Begin Early in the

Washingto n, March 21.In conclud

mittee on interstate and foreign com
merce Admiral Walke r, president of
the Panama canal commission, stated
that actual work on the canal would
be- begun after the commission had
made a stay of a few weeks on the
isthmus, for which it was to sail March
2U. The arrangements for this work
will be completed in Washington,
where the commission is to have one
of its headquarters.
Admiial Walke r, in answer to a
question, said that a large number
ins pe tors would be employed by the
commission. These inspectors would
be engineers and he did not want th
law to provide that they should be
