Barlio, July, 19. A system of op
pressive cruely indulged iiKby ar
my and navy officers toward their
subordinates has culminated in a
mutinv aDoara tne tierman cru ser
Frauenlob which occurred during
the recent visit of the kaiser to Kiel.
As a result the emperor has taken
decisive steps to reform the abuse
on which complaints have been
made in vain for the last ten years.
News of the? mutiny has just
leaked out. ' The mutineers state
that they were harshly treated by
the officers and that life became un
endurable aboard the man-of-war.
When the kaiser hoisted his signals
ta the fleet the crew of the Frauen
lob defied their officers and hoisted
in reply a dirty piece of cloth. The
kaiser at once ordered the vessel out
of the harbor and the men respons
ible for the mutiny to be severely
punished. The ringleaders were
imprisoned and the commander and.
subordinate officers suspended for
exces3iv cruelty.
Tne affair has created quite a
sensation, as this is the first time
in the history of the fatherland that
a mutiny has occurred upon one of
the government warships. The
kaiser is very much chagrined, as
it is the only time in his life he has
teen insulted by either the army or
navy.
It is currently reported that there
is a strong spirit of disaffection
among both soldiers and sailors of
the empire and that discontent is
rife. A majority of those serving
are socialists, and it is rumored
that only the, opportunity is lack
ing for a repetition in the German
navy of scenes similar to those now
being enacted in Russia,

TO SIEGE VLADIVOSTOK
JAPAN LANDS ARMX ON THE
NORTH AND WILL SUR
ROUND THE FORT.
Japs Will Make an Effort to Cap
ture Russia's Last Stronghold
on Pacific Coast Fleet Is
Near Port Other News.
, Tokio, July 18. Judging from
the activity at present being dis
played at the navy department, it
seems certain tne investment ot
Vladivostok can be expected before
the end of this week.
AH arrangements are known to
have bean completed, and it is re
ported, evidently upon the best au
thority, that Admiral Togo's entire
fleet will sail from Sasebo before
nightfall. In addition an army " of
invasion, which was landed from
transports in Peter the Great Bay
very recently, is already moving to
complete the investment by land.
Since Jun9 1, 50 ocean-going foreign
steamers have been placed under
the Japanese flag, laden with am
munition and supplies, and will ac
company Togo's fleet.
It is. the hope of the Japanese
government that Vladivostok will
be taken before the peace envoys
land on United States soil. With
this object in view, nothing is to be
left undone to make the campaign,
as planned, brief and eminently suc
cessful. .
It is known that Marquis Oya-
ma'p forces have succeeded in in
vesting the Russian lines command
ed by General Lininvitch, so that
the latter will be unable to with
draw any portion of his forces to
rescue the beleaguered city. Jap
anese forces are now north of the
Sungari river and can be expected
to co-operate with the force that
will attack Vladivostok.
London. July " 17. The corres
pondent of the Daily Mail at Hoko
date, Japan, .says that the Japan
ese have practically completed the
occupation of. the Island of Sakha
lin and are organizing a government.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Standard says that the Japanese
have landed on Sakhalin a force of
light infantry and SOOO coolies.
London, July 18. A Japanese
army has been landed north 01
Vladivostok and the complete en
velopment of the fortress is immi
nent. The Tokio correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph wires:
''Thus Japan carries the war into
undisputed Russian territory on the
main land. Uudoubtedly, too, a
strong Japanese fleet is outside
Vladivostok. Japan's navy has
nothirjg else to occupy it at the mo
ment. , 'The investment of Vladivostok
is regarded here as a strong argu
ment for peace." . -
Tokio, July 18. Anjoffieer, who
ha9 returned from Putt Arthur re
ports that the extent of the damage
to the sunken Russian ships was
slighterthan wes anticipated. It
has been known that the Russians
applied explosives inBide the ves
sels before they were abandoned
and the resulting damages were ex
pected to be serious. It has been
lound, however, that the vital por
tions 01 the ships were strangely
unburt. : '. .
The Bayan, which sustained the
most severe damage, has been taken
in taw, and the Peresviet is navi
gable with her own engines. Both
of these vessels will soon be brought
nere to complete tne necessary repairs.-
Even the Pallada, which
sustained the heaviest damage, is
expected to be refloated by the mid
dle of August and before this the
Retvizan and Pobieda will be afloat.
St. Petersburg July 18. The
Sviet bitterly objects to the cession
of the Island of Sakhalin), declar
ing that, as it commands the mouth
of the Amur river, its possession by
the Japanese constitutes a constant
threat to Russia in the Far East
and forges shackles from which the
empire could never rid herself. The
papr calls 8tter.t;on toiheimmenee

and gold, as well as in forests and

North Sydney, C. B., Tulv IS.
Captain Bartlett, who is to ti-ke
command of the steamer RoosevU
in the Peary Arctic expedition, has
arrived here to await the arrival of
the RooBeveit. Commander Peary
is expected tomorrow. It is thought
the Roosevest will sail from here on

will be crushed in the ice. In that
event the expedition will work back
over the ice to Etah, there to join a
relief steamer. The crew will con
sist of eight picked Newfoundland
ers.
London, July 19, The Moscow

Iola, Kansas, July 19. -E. H.
Funston. former congressman from
this district, and father of General
Frederick Funston, was found guil
ty today in the police court of dis
turbing the peace and of bavins car
ried concealed weapons. He wa
fined $5 on each charge and the
costs of the suit wa charged against
him, making a total of $31.55.
The charges egainst Mr. Funston
grew out of the wrecking with dy
namite by a temperance fanatic on
July 10 of three tola saloons. The
explosions followed an agitation
against the saloons in which Gover
nor Hoch was appealed to in an ef
fort to secure the enforcement of
the state prohibition law. Intense
excitement followed the act of the
dynamiter, and for three days the
city wes cowded with people, who
came from many points of the state
to view the wreckage, or join in a
bunt for the dynamiter. .
During the height of the excite
ment Mr. Funston, it was charged,
had made inflammatory utterances
to crowds that gathered about him
on the streets. When Patrelman
Ciin d 00 tried to persuade Mr. Fun
ston to desist, a quarrel between the
two ensued, acd Fucston, it was
alleg-d, attempted todraw a revolv
er. Funston vas arrested 'and
formal cba.-ge made against him,
alter which he was released upon
his own recognizance.
In the trial, which was attended
by hundreds of persons, one wit
ness testified that Mr. Funston had
said:
'I am glad that some one had
nerve enough to do It. The only
regret is that the men, (saloonkeep
ers) were not there to be blown out
of their buildings. If the police
officers had dona their duty, this
would not have happened. I have
no sorrow in my hear$ for the men
along this street that have suffered
loss, because tbey have, done busi
ness with these men and have not
put a stop to the saloon business."
The loss caused by the explo3ion
was estimated at $100,000, and the
alleged dynamiter, C. L. Melvin, is
still at large.'
