Detective Unable to Fix Blame for
Attempts to Destroy Battleship.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3. After delaying
some time in the hope that by working in
secret detectives might be able to dis
cover the persons who have been making
various attempts to damage the battle
ship Connecticut in the New York navy
yard, the Navy Department today con
cluded to publish the latest report in the
case from William J. Baxter, the con
structor In charge at New York, feeling
that publicity will now help toward the
protection of the vessel in the future from
a repetition of such attempts.
The report shows in detail how holes
wertf' skilfully drilled near the battle
ships keel, and how a bolt bad been placed
as an obstruction to the launching. The
official report shows that the efforts to
ruin the battleship were persistent; that
the attempts began six months ago and
that they cpntinued since that time not
withstanding the close watch kept on the
vessel day and night. Acting Secretary
Darling Indorsed the report as follows:
"The precautions taken by the command
ant and naval constructor are approved.
"The recommendation of the bureau that
special legislation be enacted which will
provide adequate punishment for any per
son who may damage or attempt to dam
age, maliciously, public property intended
for national defense, is approved and the
subject will be handled through the usual
channel."
Guards on Every Side of Ship.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3. There Is little
danger that any further attempt will be
made from the outside to injure the bat
tleship Connecticut, which has Just been
launched at the navy yard in Brooklyn
after attempts to damage her. had been
frustrated. Two marines with rifles pa
trol the land side of the boat, while on
the boat itself are stationed guards with
Instructions to shoot if necessary. Elec
tric lights at night are on the outside and
the interior of the boat, and there is no
relaxation of vigilance.
It would be Impossible for an attack
to be made on the water slue of the boat.
Besides the guards on the Connecticut,
the deck watch on the Texas. Kearsarge
and the receiving ship Haficock have a
full -view of the approach by the water.
In addition to these precautions of the
Navy a tug loaded with marines, with
instructions to shoot straight at any un
authorized person attempting to approach
the new battleship, patrols the river.
Everj officer In the construction de
partment and, in fact, every officer at
the yards, is in a state of high nervous
tension over the attempts to injure the
ship. Thus far no idea has been ob
tained as to the identity of the plotters.

GRAND DUKE IS SLATED
Friends of Kuropatkin, However, Arc
Still Hopeful Inability of the
Scouts to Locate Oyama's
Right Causes Alarm,
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 4 (1:20 A. M.)
The War Commission adjourned to
night without issuing further news
from the front. An Associated Press
dispatch from Mukden, filed there at
10:30 o'clock last night states merely
that all is quiet there. There is In
tense Interest here in developments at
Mukden, but the public and apparently
the authorities also, are utterly in the
dark as to what is transpiring.
The little news received from Port
Arthur comes from abroad, but that
little is satisfactory, inasmuch as it
records a further repulse of the Jap
anese attacks.
Emperor Nicholas returned to St
Petersburg today from the south, and
the Associated Press hears on very
high authority that the appointment
of a Commander-in-Chief wll be an
nounced within 48 hours. WMle Gen
eral Kuropatkin's friends still Insist
he will be appointed, members of
the Emperor's entourage express no
doubt that Grand Duke Nicholas Nlch
olalevltch will be chosen.
A slight Japanese movement has been
observed at Feng Tia Pu, about 16
miles southeast of Mukden, but there
has been no collision. The War Office
apparently does not anticipate any
fighting on a large scale in the imme
diate future. The principal cause of
alarm at the War Office is occasioned
by the lack of definite information re
garding the exact whereabouts of
Field Marshal Oyama's right. The Rus
sian scouts have lost touch with Gen
eral Kurokl's main army, which may
give increasing Importance to the
flanking movement west under General
Oku, which hitherto has been regarded
as a feint for the real turning move
ment to strike at General Kuropatkin's
line of communication from the east.
It also may contain the potentialities
of a big surprise.
Ten days ago Kuropatkin and the
War Office were convinced the
Japanese were concentrating at Sian
schan, and that an immediate advance
was Imminent in force. Accordingly
the Russians fell back from the passes
of the Da Mountain range without of
fering resistance, but after several
days they suddenly discovered that the
Japanese were nonprossing; forward,
and thereupon the Russian scouts
pushed out to ascertain the cause. They
penetrated as far as Sianschan and
Slaodyr, bringing back the startling
Intelligence that not more than a
brigade of Japanese troops was there.
This forthwith was followed up by an
important cavalry movement and the
reoccupatlon of the Da Range passes,
but Kurokl's main body was not lo
cated. There were no indications, how
ever, that he had succeeded in reach
Ing a position further eastward.
whence be could make a pivot move
men! against the railroad, and conse
quently it was concluded that his main
force m-.st still be "between the Yentai
mines and Benslhu, five miles east of
the Yentai station.
In a word, the present advices lndi
cate that the Japanese preparations
are being made more slowly than sup
posed. Possibly the delay is owing to
their desire to take advantage of the
fine weather to complete their arrange
ments for a long Winter campaign be
fore actively resuming the offensive.
Kuropatkin's plans are carefully
guarded. While he is disposing his
forces to take advantage of any sit
uation that may offer, the best opin
ion is that he will not accept a general
engagement, but will withdraw to Tie
Pass, where the bulk of his army is
massed.
CORPSES COyER SLOPE.
Effect of Russian Shells and Machine
Guns Terrific.
CHBFOO, Oct. S-Chlnese who left Port
Arthur October 1 and who were previously
engaged ' in burying the dead, say the
effect of the Russian shells and machine
guns Is terrific. The elopes of a high hill
were littered with mangled bodies and sev
ered heads and limbs. In one trench the
Chinese burled 300 Japanese and 200 Rus
sians. While it Is true that the regular water
supply of Port Arthur has been stopped
by the Japanese, the fortress has other
supplies, which can be taken only when
the city falls.
The garrison of Port Arthur now has
sufficient food, but the supplies of tinned
meats are nearly exhausted, and the
troops are now slaughtering SO donkeys
dally for fresh meat, which is worth $1.20
per pound. Eggs cost 20 cents each.
.MAY BE THE BAYAN.
Russian Cruiser Said to Have An
chored Off Gutzlaff Island.
SHANGHAI, Oct. 3. A Russian war
ship, supposed to be the armored'crulser
Sayan, of the Port Arthur squadron, is re
ported to have anchored off Gutzlaff
Island, in Hengchau Bay. - Two tugs have
proceeded thither to bring her to Shang
hai. "
Admiralty Expresses Incredulity.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 3. The Admir
alty expresses incredulity at the report
that a Russian warship, believed to be the
armored cruiser Bay an, has arrived at
Hang Chan Bay near Shanghai. The of
ficials here are evidently not prepared to
believe that the Bay an has succeeded in
slipping through Admiral Togo's Port Ar
thur cordon alone.
Report Is a Hoax.
SHANGHAI. Oct. 4. An Investigation
shows that there Is no Russian man of
war at Gutzlaff Island, In Hengchau Bay,
or in these waters. The report that the
Russian armored cruiser Bayan had an
chored off Gutzlaff Island is a hoax.
Japanese Active to the West.
MUKDEN, Oct. 3. The situation is un
changed. The Japanese are active west
ward of Mukden. The Russian cavalry
forces are strong in that direction, their
horses are in splendid condition, and the
roads are good. Ttft Japanese are also
active eastward, and have been reinforced.

Boys Instead of Englishman Were
Driving Automobile
LENOX. Mass., Oct. Z.J. F. Schermer
horn, of New York, declared today that
his son, Amos Schermerhorn, was- the
driver of British Secretary Hugh Gurney's
autosiobile on September 25 when Mr.
Gurney was charged with violating the
Stockbrldge speed ordinance. Mr. Scher
merhorn also said Sheriff Noble, who
made the arrest, was being given a ride
in the machine as an accommodation
when he apprised the automobilists that
they were exceeding the speed limit.
Mr. Schermerhorn gave out the in
formation today in recognition, as he
said, of the gallantry of Secretary
Gurney in accepting the entire respon
sibility in the matter. His tw.o sons.
he said, both of whom were familiar
with automobiles, were being enter
tained by Mr. Gurney, who, personally,
does not care for fast driving, but was
permitting the boys to test his ma
chine. As they were rolling along the
highway at good speed, about half a
mile from Stockbrldge, an officer stop
ped them with the information that
they were breaking the speed statute.
He asked who the owner was, and Mr.
Gurney replied he was. The officer said
it would be necessary for them to pro
ceed to Stockbrldge and Mr. Gurney in
vited him to ride along with them.
On the way to the town the officer,
who was Deputy Sheriff Noble, pulled
out his watch and said that they were
again going faster than the law al
lowed. Mr. Gurney expressed regret
if the law had been violated, and when
Informed that the deputy must take
the names of those responsible, present
ed his card. The" party drove to the
courthouse, where the necessary ar
rangements were made for Mr. Gurney's
appearance tho next morning.
An attempt was made to see Mr.
Gurney this afternoon. An Interview
was denied, however, it being stated at
the Embassy that the Incident was re
garded as practically closed.

plaint alleging discrimination on uie part

Gradual for Past Year.
SURGEON-GENERAL REPORTS
Such Favorable Results Follow the
Treatment of a Leper Soldier
That It Is Believed the
Disease Can Be Cured.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. In his annual
report, Surgeon-General O'Reilly shows
the general health of the Army has im
proved. During the past year, the
admission for disease per thousand has
been 14.31 against 16.1$ in the pre
ceding year. This marks a gradual
Improvement in the condition of the
troops, which has been noted since sani
tary matters have been given increased
attention, notwithstanding a large pro
portion of the troops have been on
practically war service in the Philip
pines since 1S98. From an average
strength of 19,029 American troops in
the Philippines, 1074 were Invalided
home, a rate of 56.44 per thousand.
There were 271 deaths among the troops
in the Philippines, so that the losses by
deaths and invaliding amounted to
70.67 per thousand.
Contrary to what might be expected
in view of the general belief in tho
prevalence and severity of malarial
fever In the Philippines, it was found
necepsaxy to send only 59 such cases
home. Nearly all of this number sub
sequently returned to duty, none dying.
me j? tupino soldiers were singularly
fortunate in the matter of injuries,
having a rate of only 37.29 per thou
sand, but their mortality rate of 3.34 is
almost as large as the combined death
rate of white and colored troops from
external causes. The Filipinos showed
the highest rate of admission for dis
ease, and they also led the disease
death rate with 18.17 per thousand com
pared with six per thousand for white
and 9.42 for colored.
Malarial fevers again caused con
siderably higher rates of sickness and
death among Filipinos and among the
white and colored Americans. There
were 105 cases of Asiatic cholera with
68 deaths among tho white troops and
44 cases and 28 deaths among the Fili
pinos. The colorod troops were en
tirely free from this malady. Beri beri
was confined almost entirely to Fili
pinos. These soldiers again demon
strated their freedom from drunken
ness as only three hospital cases from
that cause were recorded.
The Surgeon-General believes It is
possible to cure leprosy. At any rate,
decidedly favorable results have fol
lowed the treatment of the leper sol
dier now held in isolation at one of the
southern Army posts. Nodules and
swellings on the body have become
either greatly reduced or have disap
peared entirely. Free use is made of
the X-rays in treating this case, and
the man Is now permitted to wander
about the Island at his will, provided
he does not enter any building aave his
own, or approach any one nearer than
eight feet.
