May 25.--The Jewish dis orders here last night arose from an attempt of the Jewish socialist -.organization, called the "Bund," to .purge the Hebrew district of Warsaw of all disreputable"' persons, "The Bundites, with the view 'to expelling itheir unde sirable coreligionists, began to wreck disorderly houses, cafes and other re ports.

' The disturbances continued. all day and, were still in progress late tonight. Eight persons have already been killed and 100 wounded, 19 seriously. The damage to property has been considerable. There has been no pillage, but the destruction of the furniture In the'-vdrious houses has been absolute. The mob, armed with axes, smashed the door and windows and brought the fur niture out In the streets, where It broke it into small pieces. The owners of the fur niture, in attempting to defend their be longing:, were attacked, beaten and even killed. . Knives and rovol vers were used freely, and many persons were terribly in jured. The authorities took no steps to. prevent the riots until late tonight, when the Cos sacks' fired on the" crowds at two points, wounding four persons. , The. correspondent of the Associated .Press spent severaV'hours in the disturbed district, but did not see a single active policeman.

The character of the disturbance is un precedented. .The wholo. affair is a con filet between the respectable Jewish So cialist classes -and -the disreputable Jew ish element. There are conflicting stories as to the origin of the trouble. One re port Is to the effect that the respectable Jews, tired of hearing the members of their Tace called keepers of disorderly houses, thieves and usurers, and other opprobrious names, resolved, as the police were receiving bribes for protecting dis reputable houses and persons, to take the matter Into their own hands. Another re port has it that Jewish rougluj lrr-th guise of members of the Bund wfere. levy ing blackmail upon the shopkeepers, thus enraging the Socialists. In 'any case, the Socialists seemingly determined on a cru sade agalnst the undesirable persons of their own- race, with the result that crowds of men and boys are now sys tematically ruining; the disreputable houses. Pillaging Becomes General. Extraordinary scenes were witnessed to night, when the crowds visited the better section of the city and demolished apart ments filled with costly effects. Ward robes, pianos and mirrors were thrown out of the windows. The mob in the streets left op?n spaces for the falling articles,- and I hen completed the work of destruction. In one place a quantity of valuable Jewelry was taken out and de liberately smashed with stones. The whole affair was carefully organ ized. The leaders were supplied with the addresses of the owners of disreputable houses, and scarcely a single '.resort In Warsaw escaped destruction. CAUCASUS AFLAME AC5AIX. Race Warfare.

The charges nade by District Attorney .Jerome to the committee of grievances of the New York Bar Association against' Abraham Hum mel weni made public in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court today. They were set forth by counsel for Hummel during the argument on motion to dis miss three Indictments against him alleg ing conspiracy In connection with the Dodge-Morse ca.e. The District Attorney charges alleged fraud, deceit .and gross professional mis conduct as attorney for Charles F. Dodge in his action to f?t aside the decree of divorce entered against Dodge by his wife. Mr. Jerome appeared In court per sonally to argue against the dismissal of the conspiracy indictments, while Mr. Hummel was represented by Do Lancey Nlcoll. In his argument Mr. Nlcoll took the ground that either the grand jury which returned the indictments was con-, ducting an Inquisition without any oivs in particular being named and that such proceedings were illegal, or that Mr. Hum mel was named and was forced to give testimony against himself In violation of his constitutional rightn. In his answer Mr. Jerome said: "The grand jury was conducting an investiga tion to find out others beside Mr. Dodge who had committed perjury." Justice Davis said that, while he 4e lleved that there wa abundance of evi dence for the indictment, if it oould be shown that Mr. Hummel'.i constitutional rights had been Invaded he would be obliged to dismiss the Indictment.

READY TO BATTLE TOGO Rojestvensky Will Try to Reach Vladivostok First, But Will-Not Let Japanese Repeat Port Arthur Bottling Trick. ST. PETERSBURG, May 25. Admi ral Avellan. head of .the Russian. Ad miralty -departments, confirms the' As sociated Press dispatches saying Vice Admiral Rojestvcnsky Is steaming north to give battle to Admiral Togo. He considers it probable that news that the two fleets have met may be received any day. In an interesting Interview Admiral Avellan reaffirms the official denial of the reports that Rojestvensky has bro ken down and has asked to be re lieved. - Avellan says Rojestvensky sent detailed reports of the condition of his own health and of the health of the crews of his ships. Tho constant tension and hard work of the past few months have been -a great strain to the Admiral's health. "Even before he left," said Avellan, "Rojestvensky was a sufferer from kid ney trouble, but his health Is not worse. His reports breathe a spirit of strength, resolution and confidence, and other reports show he has inspired his crews with- the confidence of their commander. - As a -matter of fact, ifls not Rojestvensky. but Vlce-Admlral Voelkensam. who has suffered from the long stay In the tropics. "The appointment of Vlce-Admlral Blrilcff as successor to Vice-Admlral Skrydloff at Vladivostok will In no wise affect Rojestvensky's status. The lattor's mission as chief of the fleet is to' lake It to Vladivostok. There will be no antagonism when he gets there. The two Admirals arc on excellent terms, which began long ago, when Rojestvensky served under Blrilcff. Both are Iron disciplinarians, and Ro jestvensky will glv nis superior the obe dience that be demands of his subor dinates.' "Do you anticipate a sea fight soon?" the Admiral was asked: He replied: "Certainly. The Japanese cannot af ford to allow Rojestvensky to reach Vladivostok without an engagement I personally expect it to take place in the near future, though I admit the Admiralty knows nothing of Rojest vensky's strategy or plans, the Emper or having accorded him complete free dom of action. Possibly, it Is his pres ent purpose to seek Admiral Togo and force a fight, but it is more probable that Rojestvensky is bound for his base at Vladivostok. However. I can say nothing definite on this point." In response to a suggestion that Togo might 'Intentionally allow Ro jestvensky to get to Vladivostok, con tenting himself with torpedo attacks while the Russians are on their way there, -and then try to bottle Rojest vensky up In Vladivostok, Admiral Avellan smiled and said: "The story of Port Arthur will not be repeated. Rojestvcnsy is not the kind of man to allow himself to be locked up in a port. If he. gets to Vladivostok he will not rest on his lau rels, but will seek an engagement. He will try to wrest the mastery of the sea from Togo. There are many ways to bombard one of the coast cities to force Togo to appear In Its defense." Admiral Avellan repudiated the re ports that a number of chartered col liers sent to Vladivostok were cap tured by the Japanese owing to the connivance of their captains, who ar ranged to receive half the price of their cargoes for betraying their route and time of departure. The Ad miral explains that the colliers, wero lost through delayed receipt of orders telegraphed to them by the Admiralty to go to Vladivostok by way of La Pe rouse Straits, instead of through .the Straits of Corea. Two of these vessels which passed through La Perouse Straits arrived safely at Vladivostok. A private letter from the commander of one of Rojestvensky's torpedoboat destroycrs, mailed at Saigon, describes the fleet's passage of the Indian Ocean. The writer says the. hard work fell on the light cruisers sjnd torpedoboat-de-stroyers under Vice-Admiral Enqulst. which were constantly scouting ahead and communicating the approach of vessels, so as to permit Rojestvensky to change his course and steer clear of them, his desire being to avoid " dis covery before he reached the China Sea. in which he was successful. Considerable difficulty was experi enced at times In coaling from the transports at sea. especially In the case of tlio torpedoboat-destroyers. The officer adds that after the long vojage. they were looking forward with relief to the coming battle. He says his torpedoboat-destroyer will be provisioned at Saigon. Admiral Blrilef left St. Petersburg for Vladivostok today by special train. All other trains will be sidetracked in order to' enable his train to get to Vladivostok quickly. The Admiral ex pects to' make a record trip in orJer to reach his post before Rojestvensky ar rives. Several train loads of coal are on ihelr way to Vladivostok. MAXIIiA RUMOR DISCREDITED Rojestvensky "Would Not Be Xcar "Where Reported Battle Occurred. ST. PETERSBURG, May 25. The Ad miralty has .no Information confirmatory of the Manila report of the defeat of Ad miral Togo south of Formosa. While It Is considered possible that there may have been a- brush between scouts, the ' Idea of an open battic with Togo Is not j credited In the best-Inrormed naval clr I clcs. where the opinion is expressed that Admiral Togo would not dare risk bring ; ing his battleship division so far south t to meet Admiral Rojestvensky. Accord- Ing to the Admiralty's calculations, Ro l jestvensky should now be far out In the I Pacific; almost 1000 miles northeast.of the i place where the battle' ls reported to have occurred. An Admiral of high rank said to the Associated Press this afternoon: "Wfr have known for sometime that Ro jestvensky would not attempt to pass through, the Straits of Formosa, where the waters are shallow, and could easily be mined ahead of his ships. Rojestven sky will keep far out to sea In order to avoid torpedo attacks. A wide detour will also make It harder for the Japanese scouts to communicate with Togo. How ever, 2 expect news of a battle within ten days." The evening papers have got out extras on the report of Rojestvensky's victory, and tho newsboys crying the tidings on the Nevsky Prospect were almost mobbed b the peopfc In their eagerness to learn the details- PARIS. May 25. The Foreign Office and the Russian and Japanese Legations here are without any-information -In- rerard to the rumor from Manila of a naval en gagement between the Russians and Japanese. RIDICULE STORY OF BATTLE Manila Rumor ScofTcd at by British Xaval Men. SPECIAL CABLE. LONDON." May 26. Naval experts here ridicule the advices of. the Associated Press from Manila that a naval engage ment has taken place between the Rus sian and the Japanese fleets, and that the former had tne better of It. Coming, as the star;' aoes, horn Manila. Its falsity Is evident on its face, inasmuch as. If the Japanese had fought and lost, they would run ror Formosa, and not for Luzon, while on the other hand, were the Russians to lose their only available neutral pqrt would be in the Fhllipplnedslands. As pointed out In these dispatches on Sunday night, the Russian fleet was then headed for the. Pacific, and. although noth ing further hs.s been heard from it, the experts here feel sure that it Is in the open ocean, proceeding toward Vladivos tok; that Togo's attack seems certain, and that there is a possibility that the battle was fought on Thursday, but. If so. news of the outcome can hardly be looked for for a day or so. at least. St. Petersburg dispatches state that the Admiralty there has Issued a statement to the eifect that It has received no word of any naval battic with resultant defeat to the Jnpanese. and that the report Is no cinsldiTcd credible That there might have been an engagement between scouts Is considered possible, but It Is thought that Rojestvensky Is making considerable of a detour, and that he will avoid Togo.
