Help WASH1XGTOX, Sept. 15.- Acting Sec wtary of the Xavy Newberry said to ity that neither the President nor the Xavy Department had made any plans for the movement of the battleship fleet after it reaheed the Pacific. The return trip has not been arranged, and will xot be until next January. It will then bt determined whether the warships rtiaU come back to the Atlantic by way of Sues or by way of the Straits of Magellan. - Just now the department ia sorely troubled with the question of supplying , fuel for the proposed trip to the Pacific and ia not sol ie ting furtbur problems fa tbe way of getting the fleet back to the Atlantic by way of the Suez Can al, especially when that matter ia not pressing. According to the present schedule,, the ships will not reach San Francisco until the middle op latter part of April. They will remain in the vicinity of San Fran eisco and Puget Sound for 6 weeka or t months, which will carry them well fete the middle of June, before they are eady to leave that part of the world. Accordingly, it is declared, this is ample time in which to consider the method of getting them back on the Atlantic side. The only defense vessels which are now xeady to be turned over to the navy are the four submarines built at the Fore River yards. The board of inspection and survey has completed its work with them and recommended their ac ceptance. With the exception of the Indians and the Massachusetts, battle- hips now in reserve, and some com partively unimportant small craft, the ubmarines will be the onTy defense Tessels lefe on the Atlantic side when the big fleet leaves. There are also several 'other Submarines in Atlantic eaters. Actilig Secretary Xewberry said there was no truth in a Shanghai report, re ceived by way of Berlin, that the United States has leased for five years a coal ing station in Xorvik Bay, south of Via iUivstok. Regarding a report from the same tcurce that the United State had leased for next winter the floating drydock at Vladivostok, Mr. Xewberry said: "That would be just as much use to the navy as a canal on Mars." CHINA'S POLITICS MUDDLED. Ccmpartively Unknown Officials Put in High Places. FEKIX, Sept 15. The dowager em press has appointed Yang Shi Siang to te acting viceroy of the ' province of Chi-li, and Chao-Erh-IIsun, governor of the province of Sxechuan, has been made viceroy at Wu Chang, and Chen Kwei Lung succeeds Chi-Ehr-Hsun, in Szec huan. Today's appointments, which it was expected would throw light on the government's programme, have my stified the legations. Chen Wei Lung. who. succeeds Cbao-Erh-Hsun in Siech- uan is unknown here, while Yang Shi Siang, who has been made acting viceroy ok Chi-li, is relatively an obscure per The appointments are regarded as be ing poor selections, though in the nature of a concession to the Chinese, whose grief . grivanee is the predominance of Manchus in the government. The throne ia said to be afraid to appoint a Man- ehu to succeed. Yuan Shi Kal as viceroy of Chi-li to appoint a Manchu to suc ceed Tuan Fang, the viceroy of Nank ing, or to appoint Manchu to succeed any of the other viceroys. The government appears to be in des perate straits in its efforts to strengthen its advisers at the capital. All the ap pointments made are regarded as tem porary. Only one meets with general approval, and that is the appointment of Yuan Shi Kai, a constructive states man, to the foreign offiice. Foreign opinion here finds no clue in the throne's action, to be possibility of a solution having been found to the pressing questions, e4ucational, financial and military, which are occupying the at tention, of all the enlightened minds here to the exclusion of almost every thing else except the dynastic troubles of the government.

Results From Hague Conference that Na tions Will Observe in Time of War. THE VJJAGUE, Sept. 13. The fifth plenary sitting of the peace conference, M. Xelidoff presiding, met today in the Knight's Hall. The delegates were not so numerous as on tfie occasion of for mer sittings, though the entire Amer ican delegation wa present. After minutes of the last sitting had been approved the following rules re garding the opening and conduct of hos tilities were adopted, a few countries making reserves. "The contracting parties agree that hostilities must not begin without pre vious unequivocal notice having 'been given, either in the form of a declam tion of war, setting forth its motives, or in Wie form of an ultimatum with a conditional declaration of war. "The territory of neutral states is in violable. "Belligerants cannot establish wire less telegraph stations in neutral terri tory, or any other means of communi cations with belligerent forces on land of sea. "Volunteers cannot be enlisted or a body of combatants formed in neutral territory. "The exportation of provisions from neutral states and the transport of pro tisious for belligeiiints is forbidden. "Belligerants are allowed to use means of communication belonging to neutrals or private companies. "Prisoners who escape to neutral ter ritory, even if captured by troops, must, after having nsfced for refuge in a' neutral state be set free. "A state of war must notified with out delay to the neutral powers, the effect of the latter beginning after they receive notice, which can be given even by wire. In any case the neutral powers cannot protest against the lack of .this notice if it is established that they un douMedly knew that a state of war existed." The sitting also approved, with some reserves, the agreements concerning the rights and duties of neutral states in time of war. The land rules include the following: "A neutral state cannot defend It neu trality by force without this consti tuting an act of hostility," WJien the project regarding the treat ment of neutrals on belligerent territory was brought up, Huron Mursehsll von ISieberHtein (Germany) objected, saying that Germany could not admit the prin ciple, supported by Great Britain, to employ neutrals in warfare when the In we of a belligerent state permitted it Germany, m the contrary, maintained that neutral must take no part In a war. On the motion of Count Tonilclll, (Italy) the proposition was returned to the committee for further study, in hope of an understanding satisfactory to all. MesmerMesmer the Mystic at the Star.
