of which was received bar aarly thia

A dispatch from Buaa waa (Ivan pub-

"Tha Hamburg-American " steamer
Scandla arrived here today, flying tha
Russian flat and In poaaeaalon , of a

Immediately- and. proceed to a .Russian

Herr Ballln, tha managing director of
tha Hamburg-American line, Immedl'
ately dlapatohed an urgent telegram to
tha kalaer, who la at North Cape. In
thia meaeage ho uttered vigorous pro-
teatatlona and petitioned for lnatant ac
tion on the' part of tha emperor to pre
vent tha confiscation of the Scandla. .
Tha Hamburg-American company gave
out . statements to tha newspapers In
; which it Is emphatically declared that
the steamers owned by the company are
positively forbidden to carry contraband
of war In any form., ';
-Nearly-all the afternoon papers come

tion at one. Soma of theme editorials

The newspapers assert that Germany
""" has steadfastly remained silent, even In
the matter ef tha aeliure of the British
steamer Malacca, although feeling at
the time that Rusala was deliberately
' 1 treading on dangerous ground. They
-add that the time for forbearance has
v. . ceased. -.L.
, One paper editorially says: ,
' "It seems now to be the policy ef
Rusala to disintegrate all commerce and

FOURTEEN SHOT
AT BONESTEEL
(Jnarnal Spertal Bertie. )
Boneateel. S. July 23. The vigi
lance committee and the grafters havo
claahed with serious results. Two po
licemen have been wounded and the esti
mate of gamblers shot Is placed at 12.
Although the agreement of yeaterday
entered into between the city authorM
ties and the gamblers, by which the V1
latter agreed to send the grafters and
hangers-on out of the town, waa to all
appearances complied with, and for a
trae quiet seemed to reign, but as soon
as th shades of nigh tv appeared It be
came evident that the lawless element
would cauae trouble before daylight.
As the early morning hours drew near
encounters and frequent amall robberies
of pedestrlana were reported to the po
lice . and the leaders of the vigilance
commute reaolved that nietnlng
should-be dune. ; . 1-
Accordingly, hurried summons were
sent to various officers that had been
stationed In different sections of the
new town and after short conferences
It waa decided to arrest all those known
aa grafters or In any way having con
nection with the frequent disturbances.
Many deputies were sworn In and In
parties of two to a dosen men each,
started on their round-up , of all aus
picious characters.
No aerloua trouble ensued until Po
licemen Schoenbrough and Harris
resetted a point near to and In front of
a dive saloon known aa the "'Pike." A
gang' of rougha came out of the door
and ordered th police to move away.
In an instant ahooting began. Tbe noise
attracted the attention of other officer
who hurriedly reinforced the two po
licemen and In a abort time the riotous
roughs were forced to flea. Schoen
brough received a scalp , wound' and
Harris was shot in the leg. The fleeing
gang of grafters waa augmented by a
number of gamblers and crooks, cloaely
pursued by th police.
They fled to a point near the railroad
tracks and made an- Ineffectual auind
against the officers. More than 200 shot
were exchanged, and while none of tho
officers were

seen to carry away a number of their
