BITTER ARTICLES IN PRESS entire Japanese fleet whose eye caught the vision of speedy disaster. Commander Yezoe, Tvho was killed while torpedoing the Sevastopol, has been pro moted and has been given other posthu mous honors. Ambassadors of the Two Countries Called Home to Discuss Situation Emperor Says Development Will Not Be Abandoned. . SPECIAL. CABLE. BERLIN, Dec 22. Sensational cor respondence has passed between the Gorman and British governments dur ing- the last four weeks with reference to the warlike and provocative attitude adopted toward Germany by the seml offiolal British press, especially the Army and Navy Gazette. The Kaiser took a hand in the nego tiations and made his vigorous per sonality felt in a positive way. He In structed that the British Cabinet should be informed in effect that if England wanted war it could have it immediately, if it was not desirous of such an event the talk which Germany considered an affront must stop. Both Count Wolff-Metternlch, Ger man Ambassador in London, and Sir F. C Lascelles, British Ambassador at Berlin, were called home by their re spective governments' to discuss the situation. The publications which induced the German government to assume its strong attitude were a series of articles in the Army and Navy Gazette, culmi nating in the declaration that the Kai eer's navy was so rapidly becoming a ncnace to Great Britain that war would better be declared now in order that the German fleet might be de stroyed before it should become a still greater danger. Both Premier Balfour an.l Lord Lans downe have been told that Germany is impatient of this distrust of its naval policy, which It accuses the National Review, the Army and Navy Gazette and other papers of generating among the British people. The Fatherland wishes Britain to understand once for all that it has not the slightest inten tion of abandoning the development of its navy and Its merchant marine at British behest, no matter how much of a bogey they constitute. LIABILITY OF THE NIGUETIA. Japan'esetConsul GavjstAssurahpe' Con cerning Kerosene Cargo. SPECIAL, CABLE. LONDON, Dec 22. The insurance ex pert of the Times in today's issue says: "Interest centers today on the seizure by the Japanese of the British steamer Nigretla, bound from Shanghai for Vladi vostok with, a cargo of kerosene oil. The war risk Insurances amounted, it is un derstood, to 70,090, placed on the cargo under peculiar circumstances. The oil was shipped at Shanghai under a written assurance by the Japanese Consul to the British Consul that kerosene would not be regarded as contraband by the Japanese govornment, no matter where it was shipped. The cargo was Insured under this guarantee at a rate of 15 guineas per cent as against 30 guineas for coi'tra Jand. "Whatever liabilities may attach to the Nigretla in consequence of the alleged presence of Russians on board, no liability can reasonbly attach to the shippers. It would give a very bad impression of the Japanese government if it ignored the written assurance of its Consul and failed to promptly release fhe cargo." Ships May Be Raised ST. PSTERS3URG, Dec 21. While declining to give details, the admiralty admits that Russian advices from Port Arthur, sent by General Stocssel, sub stantially confirm the Japanese advices of the partial wrecking of the Rus sian ships in the harbor, and the censor has been Instructed tQ, permit the publication- of the dispatches. It is alleged that several of the larger ships and a respectable number of torpedo-boat destroyers are still sea worthy, but they are not being con sidered as a factor in the coming light between Admiral Togo's ships and the Russian second Pacific squad ron. The whole series of misfortunes which has attended the Port Arthur squadron Is a bitter chapter in Rus sian naval annals, but since the ar rival of the latest advices there has been lss disposition to criticise Rear Admiral Wlrenlus' failure to make a sor tie. General Stocssel having decided that further defense of the fortress would be impossible if the guns of the warships and the sailors landed were re-embarked.- Had the ships been able to go out undr the conditions exist ing, they would have been at the mercy of the Japanese and have been sacrificed without hope of inflicting commensurate damage. If the fortress is relieved, it Is believed that most of the ships will be raised and saved. The report that a Japanese squad ron of 40 vessels had already sailed to meet the second Pacific squadron is rogardod at the admiralty here as be ing incorrect, and circulated for a pur pose. Examination of the Nigretla. TOKIO, Dec 2i. The examination of the cargo, passengers and crew of the British steamer Nigretla, which was seized by the Japanese cruiser Tsushima December 19, Is progressing at Sasebo. Seemingly It Is undetermined whether parole-breaking Russian officers are on board the Nigretla. The Japanese are carefully Investigating this feature of the case because of the question of the ability of the Chinese officials properly to con duct the internment of Russians who seek refuge at ports in China. It Is consid ered vitally important. BIG ATTACK SOON TO COME. Japanese Expect to Win Port Arthur Before Chinese New Year. LONDON, Dec 22. The Daily Tele graph's Chefbo correspondent says that the steamer Lady Mitchell, which sailed from Tsingtau, with supplies, ammunition and dynamite, reached Port Arthur du -lng a snow storm four nights ago. He says also it is rumored that the Japanese wsre compelled to evacuate their position on Etz Mountain, owing to a flanking fi-e from other forts and the explosion of Rus sian mints, from which they lost heavily. The Japanese, the correspondent adds, are employing thousands of coolies in making strong forts at Dalny and aroun-1 Port Arthur. They express a determina tion to capture Port Arthur before the Chipese New Year. An attack is now preparing that will be on a hitherto un equalled scale, and it will mean either success or terrible disaster to the be siegers. The correspondent concludes by saying that it Is stated that General NogI has asked for 60.000 reinforcements from Japan. Trophies of the Fight. . TOKIO, Deo. 21.

CZAR IS IN COUNCIL Russia's Internal Situation Un der Discussion, AUTOCRACY WILL NOT GIVE UP Proposals Looking to Change in Ex isting Form of Government Will Probably Have to Lie Quies cent Until End of Year. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 21. Emperor Nicholas is holding councils daily at the Tsarsko-Selo, at which. It Is understood, the Internal situation In Russia is being thoroughly discussed. Among those who are attending the councils are: Grand Duke MIchaol. broth er of the Emperor; Ministers and mem bers of the council of the empire, lnclud lnf Prince arviatopolk-Mirsky, Minister of the Interior; M.

Prince Svlatqpolk-Mlrsky laid before the Council the addresses and resolutions adopted by the Congress of Zematvos which was held here last moiih. Prince Sviatopolk-Mlrsky. M. Wltte and Count Solsky favored a policy of conces sion, but the others opposed such a "pol icy, on the grounds that the demands of the Zemstvolsts were subservlve of the essential principles of the autocracy. In the opinion of the Council, It is not the time to entertain proposals looking to. a change Jn the existing form of govern ment, while the war Is progressing; and it was decided to discourage political agi tation. Measures will be drawn up rela tive to the distress consequent upon mo bilization. There Is no confirmation of the report that VIce-Admlral Rojestvensky has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Pa cluc squadron and that Admiral Skrydloff is to become a member of the Board of the Admiralty. VALUE OF BALLOON IN WAR. Operator With the Russians Reaches Interesting Conclusions. MUKDEN. Dec 2L Some Interesting conclusions reached In practical work in the field have been given by Mr. Nandt, who has been In charge of the balloon corps In the Far East during tho great er part of the war. He still thinks the balloon has a distinct future In warfare, and there have been a number of occa sions when the balloons did valuable work In scouting, but on the whole, he says that the weather In Manchuria is too damp for balloons to be at their best. It has proved exceedingly difficult to get photographs of any value. When the balloon was low, the vibration owing to air currents was excessive. Light was seldom favorable, and frequently the balloon was too high for the pictures to be of any use. In the attack on Poutlloff (Lone Tree) Hill, he says there was pre sented a very Interesting panorama of the battlefield, but it was often impossi ble to tell with certainty which were Rus sian lines and which were Japanese. The best work of the balloon corps "was done during the retreat from Llao Yang, when he says for scouting purposes they were really valuable, often almost indispensable. Clado Talks Belligerently. PARIS, Dec. 21. Captain Clado, who was detached from Vice-Admiral Rojest vensky's squadron to testify before the International Commission, .made state ments during his Journey to Paris that are exciting considerable stir in official and diplomatic circles as indicating a rather defiant and belligerent tone on the eve of the assembling of the Commission. Some official statements were strongly antagonistic to Great Britain, he declar ing that the British agitation over the North Sea incident leading up to the ap pointment of the International Commis sion, was a plan to delay the Russian sec ond Pacific squadron from relieving Port Arthur. He also asserted that another campaign having for its object the passage of the Dardanelles by the Russian Black Sea fleet will be launched at an opportune time. In the meantime, he added, men and equipment from the Black Sea fleet will be sent to aid the second Pacific squadron. It was pointed out at the British Em bassy that Clado is not a member of the Commission, but only a witness, and therefore no official cognizance will be taken of his statements.

Une report pre sented to the Supreme Court today by the handwriting experts who examined the ballots In the box from Precinct 2, Ward 4, of this city, showed that of 35S votes 144 were apparently fraudulent. One hun dred and forty ballots, with the Demo cratic heading, were reported to have been written by five persons, one of whom had written 119. Four allots with the Re publican heading had been written by two persons. There were. In the box, In Democratic and 2S Republican ballots, which appeared to be regular. After receiving the report the court pro ceeded to hear from further testimony on the contempt charges against Isaac Gold man and Edward Sweeney, election judges at this polling place. M. M. Hanna, Republican expert, tes tified to his belief that on closer exam ination at least 100 of the ballots which appeared to be regular would prove to be fraudulent. George H. King, Democratic expert, also testified that there probably would be some fraudulent votes which has not been detected in the hurried ex amination of the ballots. Sweeney and Goldman, who conducted their own defense, disclaimed knowledge of the fraudulent ballots and denied that they had wilfully violated the courts or-d-rs.

IUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS5? S3 ((ittottetecai9ttiitet9cotiittoo49 c a to the health of the household. Congressman Mark H. Dunnell, In a letter from the National Hotel, Washington, D. C., writes: "Peruna being used by .myself and many of my friends and acquaintances not only as a cure for catarrh, but also as an admirable tonic for physical recuperation, I gladly recommend it to all persons requiring such remedies.' M. H. Dunnell. PERUNA Is an Ideal remedy to pro tect any one from the ravages of Winter catarrh, which are liable to begin during November. It cleanses the mucous membranes of all catarrhal secretions, and allays the Inflammation resulting from colds. As a tonic to the mucous membranes it is unexcelled. Congressman Dunnell recommends Peruna. Over fifty mem bers of Congress Indorse It. Thousands of other people scattered all over the United States and Canada use no other tonic A trial will suffice to convince you that Peruna Is positively necessary Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent use In so many homes Is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe-ru-na Is Perfectly Harmless. It can be used any length of time with out acquiring a drug habit. Peruna does not produce temporary results. It is permanent in Its effect Address Dr. Hartman. President of The Hartman Sanitarium.

Haas, who spent more than five years In the Congo Free State, said today that the statement by Mrs. French Sheldon, In London, recently, that she had made a trip of a year on the Congo and had seen no more atrocities than she had seen In the streets of London, was entirely natural Jn view of the fact that Mrs. French Sheldon traveled as a guest of the government on public highways. Mr. Haas said It would be difficult for Mrs. Sheldon to see any misconduct of officials or such atrocities as she and others had seen be cause she was watched during her stay there and during her trips on govern ment boats.
