Japanese W ar 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 compelliug the Japanese to remove
the hospital amidst great danger.
Twice, it is alleged, the Russians
filed on the men of the Japanese hos­
pital corps, although their badges could
readily tie 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-
batantB 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 General
Oku and it is stated that further
charges will be made, grow ing out of
the expeliences 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.

Bcottdale, Pa., July 20.— W ith 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
ing and messengers were hastily sent
through the valley to warn the people.
Hundreds of lives were thus saved, foi
a few hours later the whole valley was
under water.
The damage to the machinery and
reservoir alone w ill amount to at least
$50,000.
When the torrent swept
j down upon the valley, uuildings were
torn from their foundations and carried
on the crest of the great wave line so
many washtubs.
Crops valued at
thousands of dollars were completely
wiped out.

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 Biitish shipping
from acts of aggression at the bands of
the Russian navy;
The first order diiects the M editer­
ranean fleet to sail at onte from Gib-
ralter 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 Biitish ships have been held up
the last few days by the vessels of the
Russian volunteer squadron.
W hile the fact that these orders were
issued was carefully guarded, and no
public statement of their scope is pro­
curable, tbeie 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.
W ell informed
naval officers (relieve 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 carrying things
with a high hand, means that no furth­
er molestation of vessels flying the
British flag w ill be permitted.

St. Petersburg, July 20.— General
Kuropatkin reporta 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:
"A fte r the occupation by General
Kurcki’s army of the passes in the Fen-
siiui mountain chain, our information
concerning h e disposition was, in gen­
eral, inadequate.
“ According to some reports his army
had been reinforced and had even ex­
tended hie forces toward Saimateza
Other reports said that a displacement
of hia troops had been made in the di
rection of Ta pass and Siuyjen. There
were even indications that Kuroki had
transferred bis headquarters from Tsk-
hahekanan to Touinpu.
“ At about 5:30 on the morning of
July 17, the Japanese, in considerable
Btrength, 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 o f tbe mountains to the eaBt
of the heights surmounted by the tem­
ple, 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, hut
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 loeses have not yet been exact­
ly ascertained, but General Keller re­
ports that they exceed 1,000.
