SHOTS DISMANTLE FORT.
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. The first day's subscription for the sec
ond domestic loan aggregated SS, 000,000
yen ($43,003,000) in Toklo. Osaka and
Yokohama alone. The Emperor has again
subscribed 20,000,000 yen from his- own
private fortune to the fund.
PRAISE FOR RED CROSS.
Doctors Attend the Wounded Under
Severe Fire.
LIAO YANG, June 12. 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.

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

Rockefeller Forming a
Great Combination. .
CAPITAL $2,500,000,000
AI! 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."

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 Trades Assembly. 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. It 13 expected Govern
or Peabody will appoint a military board
to try these cases early this week. The
51 men arrested In the Miners' Union
Hall Monday afternoon will also be
charged with the same offense. None of
these men will be deported.
Tomorrow Coroner Bell will impanel a
jury to inquire into the death of Roxy

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.

NEW TORK. June 12. Efforts of So
clallsts today to make fiery speeches re
garding the miners strike In "Colorado,
at a meeting here of the Central Fede

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
