VIOLATB RULES OP WAR. The Japanese War Office ".Publishes Charges Against Russians. Tokio, July 20. The Japanese war office has made public a statement charging the Russians with . violation of recognized rules of warfare. - The statement alleges that on two occasions the white flag has been violated; that once a Russian column fired persistent ly on a field hospital where the Red Cross flag was flying conspicuously, thus compelling the Japanese to remove the hospital amidst great danger. Twice, it is alleged, the' Russians fiied .on the men of the Japanese hos pital corps, although their badges could readily be distinguished. On three oc casions Japanese have been stabbed, slashed and mutilated. On one occa sion the Russians are declaied to. have stolen cattle and horses from noncom batants and to have violated women. It is also claimed that numerous cases can be cited where the Russians have wantonly fired on the Japanese wounded and that they have refused to premit parties who were succoring the wounded on both sides to go unmolest ed. ' These charges are made by Geneial Oku and it is stated that 'further charges will be made, growing out of the expeiiences of General Kuroki's army. In explaining the publication of these charges, the Japaanese general staff states that they had no desire to take such action, but in view of Rus sia's charges that they made through the French papers there was rothing else left for them to do. HELD UP BY SHOT. Russian Steamer Stops British Vessel in the Red Sea. London, July 20. A dipsatch from Aden to the Daily Mail says that the captain of the British steamer Waipara reports that the Russian volunteer steamer St. Petersburg signalled him to stop by firing across the bows of his vessel on July 15, while 20 miles off Jebel Zugur, in the Red sea. The .Russians examined tne papers of the . Waipara and declared they would hold his ship as a prize. - The captain protested, and was taken on board the St. Petersburg, where he gave the Russian officers a guarantee that there were neither arms nor am munition on board the Waipara destin ed for Japan. The vessel was detained for four hours and was then allowed to proceed. The captain confirms the report that the Peninsular & Oriental company steamer Malaica was seized in the Red sea July 16 by the St. Petersburg on the ground that she carried arms and ammunition of war for the Japanese government. BREAK OF A QRBAT DAM. Pennsylvania Valley Flooded and Much Property Destroyed. Scottdale, Pa.. July 20. With the roar of Niagara, the new reservoir of the Citizens' Water compaany burst at midnight and more than 300,000,000 gallons of water rushed down the val ley, sweeping buildings in its path. It was discovered about 9 o'clock that the dam was in danger of break mg and messengers were hastily sent through the valley to warn the people Hundreds of lives were thus saved, foi a lew Hour a later tne wnoie vauey was under water. The damage to the machinery and reservoir alone will amount to at least $50,000. When the torrent swept down upon the valley, Duildings were torn from their foundations and carried on the crest of tne great wave lixe so many . washtubs. . Crops valued at thousands of dollars were completely wiped out. Profit From a Volcano. Mexico City, July 20. The formal transfer of the volcano Popocatepetl to New York capitalists r will be com pleted this week. The Inter-Ocean rail way. will take the sulphur from the volcano to Vera Cruz. It . is believed that sulphur can be landed at New York for $48 per ton (gold), which would make the sulphur " an effective competitor of the Italian article. The reorganization is interpreted here to mean that the German directors were not willing to support the Standard in fighting the other oil interests. Bound to Prevent Passage. London, July 20. The Standard Tokio correspondent, cabling under date of July 17, says the Jiji Shimpo, in an editorial, expresses the hope that Great Britain will see that Turkey lends Russia no assistance by allowing steamers of the volunteer fleet to pass the Dardanelles.

A huge pile of timber lay close to the mouth of the tunnel and this caught on fire.

Tangier, July 20. The mountain tribes, apparently satisfied that they have nothing to fear from the govern men, are looting the entire countryside outside of Tanger.

Great Britain Orders Fleet. of War Ves sels to Scene of Trouble Fleets Be ing Mobolized Czar - May Find He Cannot- Use the Dardanelles for His "' Ships Again.- -. London, July 20. Two naval orders were issued today by the .British ad miralty, which are believed to indicate a determination on the part of Great Britain ..to protect " British shipping from acts of aggression at the hands of the Russian navy. The first order diiects the Mediter ranean fleet to sail at once from Gib raltar and proceed to Alexandria. Egypt, near the mouth of the Suez canal. The second order directs two of the fastest British armored cruisers to pro ceed through the canal and take up stations in the Red sea at points where several British ships have been held up the last few days by the vessels of the Russian volunteer squadron. While the fact that these orders were issued was carefully guarded, and no public statement of their scope is pro curable, theie is no doubt that the British foreign office has decided that the time has come to act promptly in protecting British shipping, and to put an end to any aggression on the part of the Russian cruisers. Well informed naval officers believe that the dispatch of this powerful Mediterranean fleet to the vicnity of the Red sea, and the sta- tioning of two of the crack vessels of the squadron directly in at the points where the Russians are cairying things with a high hand, means that no furth er molestation of vessels flying the British flag will be permitted. LOST 1,000 MBN. Russians Attack Japanese at Mo Tien Pass and are Repulsed. St. Petersburg, July 20. General Kuropatkin reports that Lieutenant General Count Keller lost over 1,000 killed or wounded in the attack on Mo Tien pass, July 17. The following dispatch from General Kuropatkin to the emperor, dated July 17, "on our Eastern front," was given out tonight: "After the occupation bv General Kurcki's army of the passes in the Fen shui mountain chain, our; information concerning h:a disposition was, in gen eral, inadequate. "According to some reports his army had been reinforced and had even ex tended his forces toward Saimatsza Other reports said that a displacement of his troops had been made in the di rection of Ta pass and Siuyjen. There were even indications that Kuroki had transferred his headquarters irom Tsk- hahekanan to Touinpu. "At about 5 :30 on the morning of July 17, the Japanese, in considerable strength, and with numerous guns, oc cupied Wa Fankwan pass, and on the mountainous bluffs to the south, on the flank of General Kastalinsky's col umn. From this position and from the crest of the mountains to the east of the. heights surmounted by the tern pie, the enemy directed " a very heavy rifle and artillery fire. "General Kashtalinsky advanced to occupy the bluffs, sending forward at once one and then three battalions, but the attempt failed, notwithstanding the support given by the horse moun tain battery, as our field guns could not be brought into action on account of the nature of the ground. "Our losses have not yet been exact ly ascertained, hut General Keller re ports that they exceed 1,000. . Two More Steamers . Held Up. London, July 20. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Aden says that the British steameis Woodcock and Dal- matia were held up bv the Russians in the Red sea ''and detained . for three hours. The correspondent says the captain of the Russian volunteer fleet steamer St. Petersburg has notified the British residents at Aden to wire the British" consul St Suez and Port Said that he would seize any British steam ers bound for the Far East, if the con tents of their packages were not clearly shown on their manifests. Cholera Kills Hundreds. Baku, Russia, July 20. Refugees from Teheran tell terrible stories of the ravages of cholera. They say that on some days the mortality reached 900. The Eapropeans are abandoning their property, and are fleeing to a lamp in the mountains. There is a pitiable condition of affairs at the railroad sta tions which almost are without food. The government ordered the closing oi the frontier for the purpose of prevent ing the introduction of the disease. To Prevent Mosquito Invasion. Washington, July 20. General Davis, governor general of the Panama canal strip, has advised the Panama canal commission that he wants 100, 000 yards of wire gauze to prevent mos quito invasion in the zone. General Davis says that this will be perhaps the largest order for mosquito netting ever given. He recommends the use of steel wire screens not coarser than 17 meshes to the square inch, galvanized. Ammunition Factory for Ottawa. Ottawa, July 20. Sir I redeiick Bor den, minister of militia, has underway a contract with the English firm, of which Sir "William Armstrong is head, for the construction of an ammunition factory in Ottawa, capable of turning out 20,000,000 rounds of ammunition year. . SAVED LIAO YANCL Qeneral Zassalltch's Defeat at the Yara Was in Name Only. St. Petersburg, July 19. Experts who recently were inclined to criticise General Kuropatkin's -management of affairs in the Far East declare, as the situation develops, that his strategies have proved, so far, beyond reproach He has. successfully tided overa press ing danger how pressing only those in close touch with Ihe Far East realize tiis apparent mistakes, uxe tne pro longed resistance offered by Lieutenant General Zaasalitch on the Yalu, turn out to be acts of the highest military judgment. - General Kuropatkin then had so few and such poor troops at Liao Yang that the Japanese would have had an easy task to crush the main force of the Russians had they been permitted to cross the Yalu without severe punish ment. and the thousands lost by Zas- salitch practically saved Liao Yang Zassalitch, until disgraced, occupied an important staff position. Genera Baron Stakelberg's march, which also was criticised, is now ad mitted to hae been necessary. The ru aiments oi war are tnat the army should be in constant touch with the enemy, otherwise it wculd be impos sioie to snow tne strengtn of its op ponents or to be informed of their movements. ' ' General Stakelberg's march was reconnaissance on a grand scale, and not only enabled General Kuropatkin to ascertain the enemy's strength and disposition, but materially disturbed the Japanese plans relative to the siege of Port Arthur, gradually drawing the bulk of the Japanese army to follow the retreating column, and thus dis tractmg attention from the vulnerable spot between Lia Yang and Mukden. Meanwhile the men at Kuropatkin' headquarters are improving. Fifty thousand of the best troops from Eu ropean Russia have leached Liao Yang within a month, and if the Russian commander in chief should now-choose to accept a battle he will be able to in flict a heavy blow. All Ruesia is look ing forward with confidence to the is sue of the fight. MAY BE AT MBRCY OF RUS5IANS. Japanese Transports Trapped, if Hostile Fleet Has Reached Kalchou. St. Petersburg, July 19. Reliable reports from Ta Tche Kiao this after noon brought the startling announcment of the piesenccof Russian warships off Kaichou, which they are said to be bombarding, and of the arrival of Japan ese transports and torpedo boats off the port of Niu Chwang. The admiralty was unable to confirm or deny either report, not having re ceived any communication from Rear Admiral Withoeft, but the admirals were generally not inclined to credit tt em. If true, it' would mean that Admiral Withoeft has got the Japanese transports at his mercy. In this case Admiral Togo would hasten to their rescue and engage the Russians. This may also explain the absence of positive news of the Japanese occupation of the port of Niu Chwang and the cautious approach of General Oku's column. CHINA MUCH DISTURBED. France Will Send Troops Unless the bellion Is Suppressed. - Re- Tien Tsin, July 19. The Chinese minister at Tokio has telegraphed the Wai Wou Pou, the Chinese ministery of foreign affairs, that the Japanese government has presented a scheme for the administration of Manchuria, Ihe principal clause of which is that the Japanese will govern the province with the number of Chinese troops now in the country. Information has been received here that unless China suppresses the re bellion in the province of Kwangsi, the French government has threatened to land troops and put it down. The Chinese government is much perturbed in conequence. A feeling prevails in Tien Tsin that the Japanese have suffered a terrible reverse at Port Arthur. II they have not, it is thought that the Japanese government would have contradicted the reported disaster days ago. Russian .Ships Cruising in Red Sea. Island of Perim, Straits of Bab-el- Mandeb, July 19. The American mis sionary vessel, Morning fctar, from Boston, arrived here today, and reports that yesterday she passed, between Jabel-Teir and Jabel Zugur, islands in the Red sea, a Russian volunteer fleet steamer, flying the naval flag, bound north. The Morning Star sighted at dusk, off Jabel-Zugur, another cruiser. with three funnels and two masts, and at midnight she sighted a torpedo boat Both these vessels were supposed to be cruising. f us - V . Have to Explain. Berlin, July IP. The leport of the seizure of the mails of the North Ger man-Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich by the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk, in the Red sea, reached here too late for most of the papers to com ment on it. The Tageblatt says: "A speedy explanation of this Russian ac tion against the emperor's postal flag is imperatively necessary. Steps must be taken that a disavowal is made and such acts avoided in the future." In Wait for Russian Ships. Odessa, Russia, July .19. The Rus sian steamer Trouvor, which has ar rived here from the Persian gulf, says the English are persistently spreading rumors to the effect that six armed Japanese merchantmen are lying in wait for Russian ships in the ' Red sea and Persian gulf. HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON LINN FARMERS HIT HARD. Late Spring and Long Dry Spell Have Cost Much. . Albany Rain', which was general over the Willamette valley last week, came too late to be of great benefit to farmers. : Had the showers come two weeks earlier, thousands of dollars would have been saved for the farmers of Linn county. As .it is, the crops are far below the average for Linn county farmers, in many instances are a total failure. The only benefit the farming community will derive from the rains will be in the way of gardens. and the very late sown spring oats, of which there is a small acreage. For two months not a drop of rain fell on the grain fields of the county. This is drouth almost unprecedented here. Its evil effect was aggravated by the late spring rains. Farmers gen erally were depending upon putting in a greater acreage than usual in spring sown grain, and the unusually bad weather of the late winter seemed to assure some good working days in the early spring. Instead of this, the rain held on until almost too late to plant the spring grain at all, and when good weather did come, it developed into a drouth . ' The result is that spring grain is heading a few inches from the ground, and much- of it will not be bound at all. That which is threshed will yield poorly. The heads are small and very poorly filled. Nor is the fall sown grain of its usual standard of excel lence. That part of the fall grain that was sowed on low ground will be fair, in some instances making three-fourths of a crop rarely promising a full crop. The hay crop has not averaged more than half what it was in years gone by. The haying season is about over, and the general report is half a crop. This will put farmers in J inn county in hard circumstances this fall. Al ready many of them are buying feed for their stock, and but few will have enough to last the winter through. The price of feed is rising in the coun ty, and the mills are selling it every day to the farmers who were never compelled to buy feed at any season before. There are some who will have to buy wheat for their own family con sumption before the year ends. Coming Events. Spiritualists' campmeeting, New Era, July 2-25.

Oregon City Labor of all kinds was never more plentiful nor were wages ever better than they are in this city this season. It seem impossible to find available men to perform the many improvements that are being made. The Willamette Pulp & Paper mills has 'been advertising for addition al men to assist in the building of their new mills where 200 laborers are al ready employed. The management of the local woolen mills is finding it next to impossible to engage a sufficient force of operatives. Cinnabar May Be Found. Grants Pass W. C. Slade, who has a placer mine on Johnson gulch, a trib utary of Sucker creek, near California Bar, has located a four-foot ledge of gold bearing quartz, partially on his placer claims. Mr. Slade is a firm be liever in the excellence of his section as a mineral district and believes tnat valuable deposits of cinnabar will in time be uncovered. Mr . Slade says he has found amalagmatedgold in running drifts, 40 feet below the surface. Big Loss By the Frost. Hillsboro Reports from all parts of the county show that the frost last week blighted vegetables on all beaver dam lands, and it is estimated that the loss by the freeze will reach $50, 000. One vegetable grower on the Tua 1 atin lowlands places his loss atf$ 1,000. Rich Strike in Bohemia. Cottage Grove Two rich strikes are reported just made in the Go'den Rule and the Great Eastern. These strikes are in the Bohemia district. The ore is oxidized, and very rich in free gold. HUNT PASS OVER CASCADES. John Minto Believes Stock Can Btt Driven Over Mountains. . - Albanv John Mintn. of Ralnm. rni of the pioneers in the Santiam moun tain district of Oregon, will in a few days head a party from the end of the Corvallis & Eastern railroad," on the north i fork of the Santiam river, in? quest of a shorter route to connect the- railroad with the Deschutes country in Eastern Oregon. Mr. Minto has long entertained t he idea that there is a pass through the Cascade mountains at this point where; it would be possible to construct a trail for driving stock overland from the Eastern Oregon ranges to the eastern, end of the Corvallis & Eastern line. He has interested Manager Edwin Stone, of the Corvallis & Eastern, in the work, and an effort to lay out the route of the proposed route will be made in a few days. The old Minto trail, which extends from the end of the old railroad grade to the Eastern Oregon country, has been used for years by those who know the short cuts that connect the western, and eastern parts of the state. But Mr. Minto is satisfied that there is a shorter cut yet, and that it could be- made of great service to the stockrais ers of Eastern Oregon in shipping their stock to market. Developing Lime Deposits Roseburg Messrs. Greenley and Strand, of Portland, have 10 or 12 men at work building a tramway and fur nace for the manufacture of lime on the farm of Hon. Plinn Cooper, seven miles south of this city. They have bonded 100 acres of land containing rich limestone deposits and expect to develop same on an extensive ocale. The modern continuous furnace system: will be used. A railway spur track, about three miles long, will probably be put in from the main line of the S P. R. R., at Green's station. Flax Crop WU1 Be Fair. Salem Harvesting of the flax crop. began this week and, though the sea son has been unfavorable, Eugene Bosse says that the crop will be fail ly good. The flax stalks are from 20 to 34 inches long. In fields where the stalks are 30 inches or more in length v the flax is . being pulled. In other fields it will be cut with a mower. Mr. Bosse has 10C acres of flax of his. own and has contracts with a number of farmers who are raising flax. Ore Specimens From Douglas. Roseburg Hon. A. Le Roy, of th& Oregon Information bureau, of Port land, was here last week and procured, a quantity of fine mineral exhibits from this county, which will be placed in the bureau headquaiters in Portland oefore the opening of the sessions of the American Mining congress to be held, in Portland in August.
