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. The Jiji Shimpo de
clares that Great Britain is bound, un
der the terms of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, to prevent such assistance
being given.
Hemmed In By Big Fire.
Oroville, Cal., July 20. Fire at the
Bella View mine, near La Porte, today
destroyed the mill, engine room and
other buildings close to the rnouth of
the big tunnel. A huge pile of timber
lay close to the mouth of the tunnel
and this caught on fire. Four men
were working m the xunnei when the
fire broke out and fears are entertained
for their safety, as the tunnel is strong
ly timbered and it is thought these
timbers will catch fire from the huge
fire now blazing. -
Bandits Raid at Will.
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. They approached
to within a few miles of this place yes
terday and carried away hundreds of
head of sheep and cattle. '
RUSSIA TOO BOLD
ST0PPLNQ OF STEAMERS IN THE RED
SEA MUST CEASE.
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.

Directory of Oregon Off clals.
Salem Secretary of State Dunbar
has issued an official directory contain
ing the names, addresses and official
positions of the state and county offi
cers. The directory is in the form of a
small pamphlet. Copies have been sent
to all offiecrs and others desiring copies
can secure them by applying to. the sec
retary of state. In this publication the
political affiliation of each county offi
cer is shown by a letter following the
name. Many of tne states puolisn an
official "blue book" containing several
hundred pages and giving complete in
formation concerning the careers of
public officers. The pamphlet issued
by Oregon contains but 18 pages and
contains the information most frequent
ly desired by persons transacting busi
ness with public officers.
Laborers Needed at Oregon City.
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

a quantity of fine mineral exhibits from
this county, which will be placed in

oefore the opening of the sessions of the
American Mining congress to be held,
