Japs Accused by Russia of Making Headquarters at Wei Hal Wei, New York, Feb. 17.—In spite of the denial of Lord Lansdowne, it is still believed here that the Japanese fleet had its headquarters at Wei Hal Wei, says a Herald dispatch from St. Pet ersburg. A note has reached the Bri tish Ambassador here, asking him it the Japanese by some misunderstand ing had been allowed to enter Wei Hai Wei. If so, England is requested to reoccupy the place, otherwise her failure to do so will be regarded as a hostile action by the imperial govern ment. Further, the British Ambassa dor has received a note containing the formal protests of Russia against a British expedition to Pekin. Much attention is given here to the Danish action calling upon 15,000 men and naval reserves to man sea for tresses. This is supposed to be the first move toward closing the sound. REVOLUTIONISTS CAPTURE CITY. Army of 450 in Control of Navarrette, Santo Domingo. New York, Feb. 17.—General Jimi nez' forces, numbering 450 men, with one cannon, have been at Navarrette four days, cables the Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo, correspondent of the Herald. They have cut the railroad and telephone wires, and are in com plete control of the city. Traffic between here and Santiago de Ixiscabelleros has been paralyzed for nine days past. The revolutionary forces have ad vanced to Laguna, where a battle took place with the government troops un der command of Colonel Camacho. The conflict raged for several hours, and there were heavy losses on both sides, but the rebels won, and forced Colonel Camacho to retire to Arroyo de Las Piedra«. Business is at a standstill, and crops are ruined on account of nearly every man being compelled to fight. ICE BREAKS THROUGH. Russia’s Transportation Across Lake Baikal Disrupted. St. Petersburg, Feb. 17.—According to telegrams from Missouvia, one of those dreaded storms that terrorize l.ake Baikal has broken out. most un fortunately, just at the moment when the rails were being laid on the Ice. A double rupture of the ice has taken place some versts from Tanhol, on the eastern side, leaving open gaps of sev eral yards, which will have to be filled up with ice blocks. The work has been interrupted some days, while wood sleepers are still missing. Big stocks at Irkutsk have been employed In consolidating the railway there. UNITED STATES ASKED TO APPLY TO RUSSIA. Japanese Held Captive—Russia's Answer to Secretary Hay's Note Will B Satisfactory — Assurances Are Re ceived From Paris and London -CUi- nese Neutrality Secure New York, Feb. 16.—A special ca ble to the Herald says: According to a telegram from Mis- sovain, one of the so-dreaded storms that terrorize I.ake Baikal, has brok en out, and most unfortunately, just at the moment when the rails for the railroad are being laid over the ice. A double rupture of the ice has taken place Borne versts from Tanhol, on the eastern side, leaving open gaps ol sev eral yards, which will have to be filled up with ice blocks. The work has been interrupted some days, while wood sleepers are still missing, big stocks at Irkutsk having been employed in consolidating the railway there. Thus the anticipated road across the lake will not be com pleted tomorrow, as was greatly hoped. Washington, Feb. 16.—Japan will appeal to the United States to prevail on the Russian Government to release the 100 Japanese subjects reported de tained at Port Arthur. Mr. Takahira, the Japanese Minister, will, It” is ex pected, present the appeal to Secretary Hay tomorrow. In a cablegram received from Toklo today the Minister was informed that according to the news brought to Che foo by a British steamer from Port Arthur, 100 Japanese refugees had been taken from the steamer by the Russian authorities just before the vessel sailed, in spite of the protest of the Japanese. Having agreed to look out for Jap anese citizens in Russian territory during the war. this Government will instruct Mr. McCormick, the American Ambassador at St. Petersburg, to in quire of the Russian Government on the subject as to the Japanese in ques tion. The best naval opinion here is to the effect that the detention of those Japanese at .Port Arthur is a strateg ical necessity, to prevent the Japanese gaining information as to fortifica tions. troops, etc. An official said: “During the siege of Paris in the Franco-Prussian war, Representative Hitt, who was then in charge of the American Legation there, looked after the large humber of Germans who were detained at Paris by the French Gov ernment. Although Russia's answer to Sec retary Hay’s note, asking her to re spect the neutrality of China and lo calize hostilities as much as possible, has not yet been received, the State Department knows indirectly from London and Paris that Russia will re ply favorably. It then will remain for the Powers to fix the scope of their note and to draft a more definite proposition for acceptance by the two combatants. Satisfaction is expressed by Admin istration circles that Great Britain as well as Russia, has decided to waive objections to the note. It is expected that all the formal answers to the Secretary's note will reach here early this week. American Consul Looks After Affairs. Ying Tszu, Manchuria, Feb. 16.— The Japanese Consul at Nfu Chwang left here today, transferring the af fairs of his Consulate to the American Consul. The whole of the Kwan Tung coast is in total darkness at night in prep aration for a torpedo and military at tack. Viceroy Alexleff has issued a warning to all shipping to beware of the coast and has forbidden naviga tion of the hays at night. The rumor that the Japanese had landed troops at Pigeon bay or else where on the Liao Tung Peninsula are unfounded. MARINES IN RUSH. Board Prairie With Their Entire Equipment—Under Sealed Orders.

Consternaticn Among Russians—Czar Prohibits Unfriendly Articles. New York, Feb. 16.—Internationa! ■natters are assuming a very serious aspect, according to a Herald dispatch from St. Petersburg. One of the most serious bits of news ut this moment is the alleged con firmation of the statement that aboard the Japanese vessels of war attacking Port Arthur were a number of Ameri can naval officers. This report has caused something akin to a feeling of consternation among the Russian officers. The Emperor has Issued the strong est orders, continues the dispatch, that no news whatsoever be communicated through the headquarters staff. Fur ther, he is deeply annoyed that the at titude recently adopted by the Rus sian press of writing upon the politi cal situation in a way calculated to raise enmity between Russia and Eng land and also, very specially, America. For instance, the St. Petersburg Ga zette has been prohibited, not as is generally supposed for publishing false news about the war, but because of an accompanying article declared to have been highly insulting to England. The Emperor is said to have de cided that no details of news are to be given out except upon matters of major importance—that Is to say, of big engagements. He does not wish that all kinds of small affairs shall be given undue Importance. ENGLAND MAY 8EIZE TENEDO8. Would Block Outlet for Russian Black Sea Fleet. Constantinople, Feb. 16.—According to reports here, the Balkan echoes of the Far Eastern disturbance are grow ing louder and more numerous, the latest being to tae effect that England has threatened to occupy Lemnos Ten- edos and other islands in the Aegean Sea at the outlet of the Hellespont in order to preserve the neutrality or the Dardanelles. This would indicate that Great Brit ain expects Russia to ignore the treaty of Berlin and send her Black Sea fleet through the Dardanelles on the way to the Far East, without Great Brit ain’s permission. Thus in case of a conflict of arms. Gleat Britain would be in the attitude of helping Japan to fight her battles for Manchurian su premacy. Besides this formidable opposition, Russia seems to be threatened secretly with that of Germany. JAPANE8E LO8E AT PIGEON BAY. Land Troops West of Port Arthur and Are Driven Off. London, Feb. 16.—The Dally J.faii’B New Chwang correpondent, under date of February 14. cables: According to official Port Arthur tel egrams the Japanese landed a force yesterday at Pigeon Bay, west of Port Arthur. They were then attacked by troops and by the land batteries and were defeated with heavy losses. RUSSIA SEND8 A 8HORT NOTE. Wants to Know Whether the Japan ese Fleet Is at Wei Hal Wei. New York, Feb. 16.—A dispatch to the Herald from St. Petersburg Bays: A corteous but snarp note has reach ed the British Ambassador here ask ing him if the Japanese by some mis understanding had been allowed to en ter Wei Hal Wei. If so England is requested to reoccupy the place, other wise her failure to do so will be re garded as hostile action by the Imper ial government. In spite of the denial of Lord Lans downe, it is still believed here the Jap anese fleet had its headquarters at Wei Hal Wei. Russian Fleet In the Red Sea. Suez, Feb. 16.—A steamer which has just arrived here reports a Russian volunteer fleet cruiser, a battleship and four torpedo boats anchored at thd Isl and of Jebel Zukup, in the Red Sea, about 90 miles from the Straits of Bab-el-Mandeb, February 10. The steamer also reports that prev iously she passed the Russian trans port Smolensk and one torpedo-boat steaming slowly south. Cruiser Askold 8lnks at Port Arthur. Chefoo, Feb. 16.—Passengers who have arrived from Port Arthur say the Russian cruiser Askold was dam aged in Tuesday's battle in the roads outside of Pritt Arthur, but was kept afloat all day Saturday, when it sank in 30 fathoms. Bombardment of Dalny. London, Feb. 16.—The Daily Tele graph’s Shanghai correspondent, under date of February 14, says It is re ported that the Japanese have bom barded Dalny and landed marines. BLOW AT AMERICAN MACHINERY. English Firms Call Attention te Farm ers to Lapse of U. 8. Patents. London, Feb. 17.—It is expected that the monopoly so long enjoyed by American manufacturers of agricul tural machinery in England and the British colonies will be seriously at tacked shortly. A private circular is being Issued to farmers by a number of leading British engineering firms pointing out that many of the Ameri can patents have now lapsed, and that users of American machines need no longer be afraid to introduce English- made parts to replace those that have become worn out or otherwise dam aged. The two or three English firms that have been in any way able to com pete with America in the way of agri cultural implements are particularly active In the present movement, but the .armers are sonrawhat afraid of in fringing the American patents without serious consideration. Robbing the Tourists. New York. Feb. 17.—Robberies of wealthy visitors to the Riviera are rife, and apparently are the work of a daring band of wellorganlzed thieves, says a dispatch to the Ameri can from Mentone. France. A wealthy American widow reports having been robbed at her hotel of jewels valued at *20,000. An English woman on her way back from Monte Carlo lost *2000, which she had won from the bank.
