(Journal Special Service.) St. Petersburg, June 28. Tho long expected battle of the passes Is on In full force and the two armies operating In the mountains, that have been ex pected to como to a grapple since the battle of Feng Huang Cheng, are today In heavy conflict Reports received here admit that the pressure has been too grtat for tne hus sian torcea to withstand and that they are slowly retreating before superior forces, battling as they go. For once the war offlce Is freely Issuing Its new and great excitement la manifest here In the city, where public opinion has expected a big battle for several days cast Notwithstanding the fact that the f first news received Is not of a reassuring haracter, the- people) weetn in w wise doubtful as to the outcome and predict that thr battle will end In a victory for the Russian -forces. Kuropatkln Ssports Battle. General Kuropatkln reports from Liao Tang as follows: "Yesterday the Japanese attacked our forces occupying Motlen Ling, Feng Choulln and Tallen passes. Our Infantry and -cavalry retreated, persuaded that the advancing divisions of Japanese operating against each of the three passej was .stronger than our own de tachments, f, ; In the attack on the Tallen paas, th Japanese guards, besides several other regiments, took part The Japanese made a frontal and flank attack. There was a considerable force on both sides. "The Japanese occupied Feng Choulln and the Motlen Ling pass on the morn lng of Junej27, after having pushed back our advance, on the evening of June 26. to Tallen pass. "The' Japanese continued to advance this morning against our position, "In the fight yesterday for some time the attack of the Japanese lnrantry brigade was repelled. Three battalions engaged in a frontal attack, but being menaced by other Japanese troops en gaged in a flank, movement our troops retreated. Reconnoltering parties report that one portion of the Japanese army is today moving to the northeast with the Intention of joining Oeneral Kuroki's forces. "All reports ..the , past few days state that the Japanese forces against our Manchurlan array consist of eight or nine Infantry divisions. Several bri aades of reserve troops also occupy a position in the fighting lines." A report is in circulation here this afternoon that Oeneral Kuropatkln has been ordered to retreat from his present position if possible. Much uneaslness is manifested because of the large body of Japanese that have surrounded Kuropatkin's, force. This rumored report is said to have emanated from one high enough in authority to stamp it with all the mirks of truth. While not an official report, it is looked, upon by the higher or middle classes as the equivalent of such and much speculation is being indulged in as to the outcome or any attempt on the part of Oeneral Kuropatkln to es cape without serious loss, surrounded as he is by an immense army of Japanese who are constantly drawing their lines closer.

"WYOMING" BLUEJACKETS DEFEND REPUTATIONS '4 U. S. S. Wyoming, Portland, Or., June 27. To the Editor of The Journal In reference to the article in your paper this afternoon regarding the disgraceful conduct of a sailor towards a lady, on the street, we, the ship's company of the U. S. S. Wyoming, wish to say a few words. We regret exceedingly that a man from this vessel, wearing the blue of the United States navy, should so far forget his manhood s to insult a wcuraan. He has our utmost condemnation, and will meet swift, justice if he ever returns to the ship. At best a sailor has but a poor name, and it la to be regretted that such an act should be committed, which, tending to lower, the men of the navy in the estimation of the public, makes it so much harder for them to establish a reputation commensurate with the position they hold as defenders of the nation. The men of this squadron have, behaved as gentlemen wherever they have been, and have the reputation of being such, all up and down the coast. . i This is the first instance that a breath of scandal Iras been attached to our name, and it is deplorable that it should be In this city that it occurred. ,r , ,,. The rnan, W. H. Garey, is not an American; for no American sailor would be guilty Of such conduct; but a bloomin' furriner, and came Into the service from off the town. He was treated kindly by all hands, and was raised to a first-class billet by the captain, and for the sake of his wife and children, wholfce In Oak land, he was put up with. HoweVer, his action of yesterday is too much, and we can onlysay that the Judge was too. lenient with him. . y That the navy at large may not be condemned for the acts of a few. we wish to -call attention to the fact that there are always exceptions to every rule; and inasmuch as our members are so few, compared Vith civilians, and that our uniform Is very noticeable, we should be given due credit for our: behavior as a whole,fjwhen these exceptions appear. The sooner these exceptions expose themselves, the sooner we are rid of the. offenders. - . . . Another thing we would llke"to have noticed. Is that sailors are not marines: Marines are altogether a. distinct branch of the service, and we have no marines In this squadron. We are all sailors; -or, better stilt, bluejackets. : '' -:;::..

WYOMING. Per C. G. M'MASTER. ' 'Prank Gugllelmo, the young Italian saloonkeeper, charged with the murder of 16-year-old Freda Garacia, was brought into the state circuit court be fore Judge. Cleland at 9:30 o'clock this morning lor. trial, and the task of se curing a Jury was begun by .the lawyers In the case. District Attorney John Man ning for the state, and Dan R. Murphy for the defense. . Gugllelmo wan pale but self-possessed. He was clean-shaven and well-dressed He kept his eyes fixed on the floor and sat throughout the proceedings almost motionless. Close behind him. sat the mother, father and two young sisters of the girl he is uccused of killing. All the parties to the cue stemed to be entire ly free from emotion as the examination of Jurors went on, but Gugllelmo be came noticeably paler when the district attorney began discussing the death sen tence with Jurors who were asked on earning their preconceived ideas of capi tal punishment. . Many Jurors Excused. Of the first 12 men called Into the Jury-box, only three were accepted, all the others having firmly fixed' opinions of the guilt of the accused. All of them had read the accounts in the newspapers and were satisfied that they had stated facts sufficient to warrant the convic tion of the prisoner. f One Juror, a farmer residing some dis tance from this city, stated that he was not a competent Juror in this case, be cause he could not give an Italian a fair and impartial trial. . . The questions of Attorney Murphy to the Jurors tendeduito. ascertain clearly their views of wli'at constituted murder in the. first degrce'end "whether they be lleved a verdict of guilty as charged In this case should be rendered if no premeditation or deliberation - were proved. , , Objection was made by the district attorney to some forms of questions put by Attorney Murphy as to what they would do should certain features In the case arise. "The law defining the qualifications of a Juror," said Juge Cleland, "Is this: If his mind is by any preconceived opinion so fixed that he cannot apply the law as given by the court to the facts as given by the evidence, and can not render a- verdict accordingly, then he should be excluded. If he can. he should be retained." Nearly the entire day was consumed in securing a Jury. Story of the Crime. Frank Guglielmo's crime .was com mitted on Tuesday afternoon, June 14. at about 4:30 o'clock. Me had for some months been courting Freda Garacia but the girl was only 16 years old and tier father refused t permit her mar riage. The Garicia family resided at 324 Harrison street, and when Gugllel mo, with a-loaded rerolver in his pock et, called at the cottage her; father was away- at his work and her' mother was also absent. Freda was engaged in ironljig the family washing. .From the facts that- have already ;? been brought out it is supposed that Gugllelmo went directly to her and aiming his revolver fired two shots. The first bullet struck the Kill iti the head, the second entered her heart. -, As sm tell dead Gugllelmo rushed from the . house and down the street, thrusting the smoking weapon (Journal Special Service.) Cambridge, Mass., June 2S.-rOns Of the greatest sensations that has ever been created by trNddress became ap parent today when Secretary of. W' Taft declared In an address to the Har vard Law School Alumni association that consent of the governed is not al ways a necessary condition in govern ment under the United States constitu tion, the Declaration of Independence notwithstanding. The speaker had evidently made a most careful study of his address and delivered it from copious notes. He first took up different phases of the Philippine situation, going into details concerning the characteristics of , the Filipinos, their methods' of thought and their past forms of government. ; Passing to the present form of gov.' erhment of the islands, the speaker said: "The old and much mooted phrase of the Declaration Of Independence which has furnished so much food for argu- . ment and: is so constantly referred to in political controversies- which says 'gov ernments instituted among men derive their Just powers f flam the consent- of the governM? must not -be" construed too literally. Nor were the words 'con sent of the governed intended to be closely construed. Even if such were the case there are numerous instances in our history where the consent of the governed has, not been-obtained." ' Undents I-ook smaied w To say that the students were not amazed at this bold upsetting of old Ideas and defense of the new, would be untrue. They turned toward each other inquiringly as the speaker continued his argument. ' Mr. Taft then took up the, work of, education that Is being carried on lu the Philippines and said that It was a great work and something essential to the preparation of, the Filipino for self government or any ainu, no matter now limited in form. . . .. "Agulnaldo gave them a government, said the secretary." and It was one of oppression, arbitrary action and die turbance." .:"-- He followed, this by giving instances of the misrule which took place under the Agulnaldo ideas. He declared that the Filipino is not and can not be for many years ready for self government. As he closed his address Mr. Taft paused and said impressively,; "If thu native residents of the Philippine s lands are fit. for self-government, then I agree that such a declaration ought to be made and that we ought to turn tfie . islands over to the Filipinos." . . - - Offsetting this latter statement, how ever, he concluded by saying that he was opposed, however to any promises .. contingent upon what might happen in the future. , , BELIEVE LOOMIS MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED (Journal Special Service.)
