Japanese Warships Bombard From Mouth of Niu Chwang. SPECIAL CABLE TO THE LONDON TIMES AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN. CHBFOO. June 12. I've just returned from Niu Chwang, where the Japanese are establishing a strict blockade. A idlspatch boat was stopped and searched twice within a short distance. Thursday of last week we ran into La lushan Bay, where we found a Japanese squadron. Friday there was fighting along the coast 20 miles south of Nlu Chwanp at the mouth of the If lu Chwang River. The fort was dismantled by the Japanese war ships, which sailed to and fro across the mouth of the Jlver and poured In a rain cf explosive shells at a range of two and one-half miles. From reports made by officers who put Into the harbor it Is cer tain that nearly all of the mines placed by the Russians are dummies. Trade is restricted to four small steam ers which pass in and out at infrequent intervals. The Russian garrison of the Nlu Chwang forts Is well liked by the British residents of the town, as they maintain strict discipline, and the streets are better policed than when the Chinese officials wero in control. For this the foreigners are fearful of the result after the Russians have finally left and before the Japanese take possession. The railroad Is still in working order, and one train leaves dally for Tientsin and two for Mukdon. It Is necessary to have powerful passports to ride on these latter, passing as they do through Mufc den on the way to Harbin. INTERVENTION NOT SOUGHT. Japanese Declare Intention of Fight Ing to the Bitter End. SPECIAL CABLE TO THE LONDON TIMES AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN. TOKIO. June 13. Leading Japanese journals here ridicule Russia's repeated and uncalled-for deprecation of Interven tion, nnd suggest that It will be time enough to protest when the suggested in tervention is actually assured. They unite in declaring that Japan .will fight to the last drop of blood and spend her last ounce of silver before appealing for the assistance and mediation of other na tions.

Ensign Marllo, who has returned from the battle of Salmalsa, .fought' on June 7, says that the Japaneso lost About 300 men. He speaks FORGE in the highest terms of the work of the Red Cross doctors. Poosen and Bentesh, who attended the wounded under fire. When the order came to retire, these doc tors refused to leave the bandaging sta tion until the last of the wounded, had been brought out and attended to. After the battle a wounded Russian was found with his tongue cut out and his fingers severed. There Is a general disinclination to attribute this mutilation to th'e Japanese, as the kindness which they had previously shown to the Russian wounded, and It is thought to be more probable that it was the work of Chinese bandits. It is alleged that during the engage ment the Japanese again misused the Red Cross -by getting within 400 yards under its cover and then firing volleys. Reports' of the Sluyen fight of June 8 say that the Japanese lost 100 killed and the Russians one killed and 21 wounded, Including two officers. PESTILENCE IN SIBERIA.

Letters received from correspondents who have Investigated the conditions prevailing in Siberia show that the natives are suffering severely as a result of the war. An epidemic has broken out among the laborers who live around Lake Baikal, and it is feared the disease, the exact nature of which has not yet been ascertained, will affect the troops who are passing through on the way to Manchuria. The unfortunates af fected by the disease usually die within forty-eight hours after being first at tacked, and so far all known remedies have prcven useless. .

Valuable Properties In America Included, DEAL PENDING A LONG TIME Great Owners of the United States Sell Their Holdings Outright or Are Taken into the Monster Corporation Just Formed. NEW YORK, June 12. (Special.) An nouncement will be made ..soon of a gi gantic new combination capital in United States and Europe. Nothing less than the amalgamation of all the valuable mines of America. The man who will consummate the stupendous transaction is John D, Rockefeller. The corporation under which the big mining Interests will be merged will haT-e a par capital of $2,500,000,000. It will control absolutely the mineral output of the United States, except, perhaps, the Calumet & Hecla copper mine of Michigan. Within the last ten days Rockefeller has taken up personally the task which has been left to his brother William and to H. H. Rogers, who have been conspicuously Identified with the min eral Interests of the Standard Oil Com pany. For ten years the Standard Oil millionaires have been acquiring the mines of America through their banking interests. Tentacles on Colorado. In Colorado the First National Bank of Denver paid out many millions In the last six years for producing mines, and controls 70 per cent of the' producing gold, silver and lead mines of the Rocky Mountains. In California the Western "mine-owning combination controlled bx Haggin and affiliated Interests .has been ready for some time to. enter into, ar rangements with Rockefeller 'for a gen eral combination. Senator Clark, owner of the United Verde copper mines of Arizona, and with large holdings in many Amalgamated Copper Company's mines in Montana, has been working with Rogers for several years. All the gold mines in Southern California are ready to come In. Helnze Is .Negotiating. F. A. Helnze, who has given the Stan dard OH copper interests in Montana so much trouble, has been in this city for several weeks negotiating direct with Rockefeller for turning over of his in terests in Montana to the new combina tion. Senator Kearns, of Utah, baa only re cently Bold Rockefeller his valuable mines for over 51,000.000. In Idaho the Standard Oil Company has controlled the producing mines for some years. In New Mexico the lead mines. passed into their control. There are few mining districts In America where Rockefeller is not dominant. In working out the deal Rockefeller hopes to secure from the United .States Government a corps of engineers to give to the public a . report, on the actual value of the properties to be consoli dated. Senator Elklns says ho has no doubt that, by January L 1905, Rocke feller will make the final move In a long cherished plan. Dennis Ryan, of St. Paul, "is In the city, and has been the means of selling to Rockefeller, within the past week, a group of gold and copper mining prop erties in Washington and Southern Brit ish Columbia. When asked about Rocke feller's proposed combination he said: 'T donft know very much about It, ex cept when he gets things working and in shape and springs It on the public it will take the people's breath away. When ho .discloses what he controls he will make the mining speculation of the woria wonder whether they have been awake or asleep, ihe last ten years." BEC0ED AT ST. LOUIS FAIR.

WORKERS'. RIGHTS ARE DENIED President Cleveland Was Denounced for Action Similar to That'De v .sired Irj the American ; Rail way Strike 'of J 894. CHICAGO, June 12. (Special.) Organ ized labor in Chicago established a pre cedent today when, through its central body, the Federation of Labor, It appealed to President Roosevelt to send Federal troops Into Colorado. The contention of the Federation la that the miners' lives were In danger, and It denounced what It termed "the lawless crusade of the military authorities of Colorado against organized labor in that state." To the older members of the central labor body the action caused much sur prise. It recalled to many the course taken byN President Cleveland In 1894, dur ing the general strike of the American Railway Union, in sending Federal troopsl to prevent bloodshed and destruction of property In Chicago, and the bitter ar raignment he received for this action at the hands of labor leaders, who de nounced the President as a traitor and guilty of treason. The resolutions read In part as follows: "Resolved. That we brand as false the assertion of the Colorado mlneowners'that union men were concerned In the blowing up of the railway, station at Independence, and give It as our belief that these same mlneowners could tell who committed that dastardly act. "Resolved, That we appeal to the Pres ident of the United States to at once set the machinery of the Government in ac tlon to' tho endthat tho working-people of' the Statelet Coloradotnay; beglven protection, which the Constitution of the United States guarantees to them; that they be protected In their right to or ganize and meet in peaceful assembly, and that, if necessary to enforce such condition, he send the Federal troops to that state." In pursuance to another set of resolu tions adopted by the Federation, a long telegram was sent by Secretary Nochels to President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, suggesting that he confer with labor leaders throughout the country for the purpose of calling a gen- ral meeting to consider tho Colorado crista, The message urged Mr. .Gompers Imme diately to confer with the heads of trades federations o( the whole country, and ask' them to join In the calling of an emer gency delegate conference to consider tho situation.

The American La bor Union or the Western Federation of Miners, is being held in abeyance until the-committee reports. A modified petition will be ready by Juno 15 according to pres ent plans. Sheriff Bell stated tonight that his In vestigations Into the Independence mur ders will show that soma "irood bovs" will' be found to have been thev worst. He prom ises one or two sensations In this regard in the next few days. The 17 men arrested at DunnvIUe after the battle of Wednesday will be charged with .msurrep tlon.

MINERS TO GOTO NEW MEXICO Federation Will Start Co-Operatlve Colony for Men Deported. DENVER, June 12. A new mining camp will be opened In New Mexico, ac cording to the Post, to receive the de ported union miners from Cripple Creek. The Western Federation of Miners will work the claims on a co-operative basis and will have entire jurisdiction over their development. Provision will be made by the Federation for all deported miners, and to this end a carload of sup piles will be sent to the new camp imme diately as a starter. The camp will be located near Tres Pledras. which Is 20 miles south of- the Colorado line, on the line of the Denver & Rio Grande. There is a district ten miles square of virgin ore and the work of mining it will be parceled out to the union miners. They will work on the co-operative plan, but the miners will be supported, by tne jj"eaerttlon while pros pectlng. According, to the story, the idea ofTa co-operative union camp was suggested to Secretary Haywood, of the Federa tlon, by A. Royal, president of the Belle Royal Mining and Milling Company, of Tres Pledras, which company owns SO acres In the district. This property will be purchased by the Federation for in itial operations. The particular attrac tive feature of the proposition to send -the exiled men to New Mexico was that there they would be amenable to Federal law only. Governor Peabody has been asked to order General Bell to send further ship ments 6f deported miners from Cripple Creek to New Mexico, and approves of the plan, according to the story.

Delegates of the building trades and others objected to the extreme utterances of the Social ists and left the hall. They held a cau cus and decided to break away from the. central body and leave the Socialists by themselves. After the anti-Socialists had bolted the meeting the Socialists listened" to several speakers, appointed a committee to raise funds 'for the Colorado union miners, and indorsed resolutions and a memorial to President Roosevelt, calling for an Im mediate investigation of the Colorado situation.
