that the Issue of the confllot will not be
decided by the naval engagements, as the
Japanese will have to meet Russia on dry
land, when tho score will be wiped out.

In our solicitude for the maintenance of

made every effort to consolidate tranquil

alms we signified asNent to the nrnnnaulti
of the Japanese government to revise agree
ments regaraing Korean artalrs existing
between the two governments. However,
the negotiations beaun ubon this sublect
were not brought to a conclusion and Japan,
wunoui awaiting tne receipt or the last
responsive proposals of our government,
declared the negotiation broken oft and
diplomatlo relations with Russia dissolved.
Without advising us of th fact that the
breach of such rotations would mean the
opening of warlike operations, the Japanese
government gav uaers to Its torpedo
boats to suddenly attack our squadron
standing In the outer i.arbor of th fortress
of Port Arthur. Upon receiving reports

Mr. Takahlra, the Japanese minister here,
has received advlcea from ths Japanese
Foreign office regarding the naval engage
ment oft Chemulpo similar to those ' made
public today by Minister Hayaahi In Lon
don. Mr. Takahlra thinks it is especially
Important to note that according to these
advioes th first overt act of hostilities
was committed by the Russian gunboat
Koreta, which fired on the Japanese tor
pedo boats Monday evening.
Mr. Grlscom, th American minister at
Toklo, haa been directed to request per
mission from the Japanese government for
th following army officer to -accompany
the Japanese army: Colonel HI. H. Crowder,
general staff; Captain J. F. Morrison,
Twentieth Infantry; Captain Frederick
Marsh, artillery corps; Captain J. E. Kuhn,
engineer corps.
Th I'nlted States legation at Toklo mad
two reports today to th Stat department
upon the battles. Strangely enough the
news of the engagement at Chemulpo was
known In Toklo some time before word
cam of th preceding Port Arthur affairs.
The first reads:
X naval engagement was begun today at
noon (9th) outside th harbor of Chemulpo.
The Japanese squadron aunk the Russian
gunboat Korets at 4:10 p. m., and overcame
the cruiser Varlac. Hostilities were beaun
by the Russian gunboat tiring upon a
Japanese torpedo boat.
A later dispatch from the Japanese con
sul at Che Foo, Just across ths strait from
Port Arthur, reports:
Entire Japanese fleet engaged Russian
fleet outside Port Arthur, 11 p. m., on tiie
lih. Two- Russian battleships were sunk by
torpedoes. The Russian sIiIds outside th
harbor were unable to enter. No damage
to Japanese neet.
Another dispatch from Toklo stated that
no Japanese live ware lost In th engage
ment at Chemulpo.
Naval Interest In th fighting continue
at the highest point. On of th highest
officer of th navy commenting upon th
press accounts of ths engagements says
that ths lesson to b drawn Is th absolute
necessity of maintaining a navy In con
tinuous service Instead of following the old
plan of laying up ships In reservs as has
been practiced by Russia. Japan, like the
United States, has for the laat two years
kept almost every naval ship that would
float constantly In commission and cither
cruising or maneuvering so as to repro
duce the actual conditions of war as near
as possible. 'Another demonstration of th
Port Arthur and Chemulpo affairs was th
perfection - of th Japanese information
division, as-thelr naval commander seemed
to b at every moment in possession of
full information of th Russian movements
gnd the disposition of Russian ships.
Freaeh Officials Discredit Report.
PARJS. Feb. 10. The foreign offic dis
credit th report front Tien Tela yesterday
of the French occupation of Bhan Hal
Kwan, on the gulf of Llso Tung. The offi
cials here say the negotiations on this sib-Jr-ct
occurreed six months ago, without
definite results, and the officials believe
that the matter reported was the shifting
of small garrison detachments. The offi
cials add thst of a certainty there can b
no significance In the French occupying
the forts vacated by the Russians.
The overtures of the United States gov
ernment to the powers for preserving the
neutrality and Integrity of China during
nnd after the . hostilities between Rus.Ha
and Japan are attracting widespread at
tention. United States Ambassador Porter con
ferred with Foreign Minister Delcnsse
yesterday and again today. The results
havo not been made public, but the general
situation is a follows:
It does not appear probable that an
accord of the powers can be reached at the
present time, owing to differences of views
and the concentration of attention upon the
actual events of the war. It is practically
certain that France will not tnko any
action which could possibly be construed
as embarrassing to Russia, or as seeking
to coerce It concerning the Integrity of
China. The French authorities appear quite
willing and even anxious to have China
declare Its neutrality. They desire to have
the leant possibly Interruption In Interna
tional shipping at far eastern ports and also
will seek Individually and collectively to
confine the area of hostilities so as to
reduce the chance of a general spread of
the conflagration. But, relative to the
Integrity of China, ft is not likely that
any step will be taken, If the term "China"
Is Intended to Include Manchuria. It Is held
that this Is consistent with the past French
attitude concerning the Integrity of Chlnu,
which wai construed to be entirely distinct
from the provinces of the Chinese empire,
Including Manchuria, Thibet ami Mongolia.
However, the foregoing la only the gen
eral tendency, the negotiations being still
open, with the prospect of their rather
lengthy continuance.
It is expected- :hat Foreign Minister Del
casse will issue a circular defining the
views of the government upon Secretary
Hay'a propositions In regard to the neu
trality and Integrity of China.
Vt. Montone. the Japanese minister hero,
gave out an official communication today,
reciting the Mstory of the negotiations
with Russia find maintaining Japan's in
tegrity throughout of China and Corea.
The ministry ,of marine has taken pre
cautionary measures to have ships In
readiness to reinforce the French fleet In
Asiatic waters. A number of vessels are
being placed In readiness to move east
ward, but definite sailing orders hav not
yet been Issued.
In tho meantime, the French naval au
thorities In the far east will be Instructed
to maintain strict .neutrality.
Opinion In Berlin.
BERLIN, Feb. 1U. Naval men were doing
little else at the admlrallty today than
talk about the Japanese-Russian engage
ments and the deductions to be drawn
therefrom. One conviction was that Japan
had acquired such a superiority that Its
command of tho sea practically results.
The unwillingness of the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur to leave the urotecllon of the
shore batteries, enables Japan, In the
opinion of the naval experts here, to con
duct Its landing operations unmolested,
It Is believed Port Arthuy will be Invested
on the land side as quickly as possible.
One of the objects of the Japanese In
engaging the forts. It was further pointed
out, was doubtless to draw the Russian
Are and locate the guns on shore. That
the Japanese ships withdrew was not
regarded as Indicating losses.
A contrast Is also made between the
condition of Japanese and Russian ships.
AH' the former were docked within six
weeks and every bit of Internal apparatus
was In order and tuned up for action, while
some of the Russian vessels, It was added,
had not been docked for a year. i
Which way did Japan's new cruisers, the
Nlsshln and Kasuffga, go after leaving
Singapore Is one of the subjects for
speculation on the part of the German
fjfflcers, the favorite view being that they
ailed westward so as to lie In the course
of the Russian troop ?hlps bound eastward,
one and possibly two of which "were
beyond Aden, sailing eastward, before the
hostilities began.
Although the fvo new Japanese cruisers
are far from completely equipped, they
might be an even match for the Russian
armored cruiser Dlmitrl Donskul and Its
accompanying torpedo boats.
The breaking ot the Manchurtan railroad
at one or several points far westward of
Harbin Is expected, as the Japanese work
ing In Manchuria are thoroughly familiar
with the topography and are likely to have
been prepared to act, only waiting for the
announcement that the war - had begun.
Japanese troops, it Is said here, have prob
ably already arrived with bands of Chinese
marauders to treak the railroads and to
try to keep It broken.
Expert opinion here expects that Japan
will strike a fresh blow every day.
The German malls for the east are now
forwarded by way of New York.
BERLIN, Feb. 10. The Cologne Gasette,
which so frequently takes the Fv elgn of
fice view of different questions, cays the
plan suggested on the American Initiative
will cer.alnly be well received In Germany,
as th neutralisation of China Is so en
tirely In Its general interest, and adds, that
the proposals Is calculated to prevent hos
tilities against foreigners breaking out In
gaits Itassla.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-A11 the members
of th reserves have been commanded to
remain at their present abodes, so that they
can be found ready when it la decided to
call them out, says a dispatch to the Times,
from a Russian correspondent, who adds
that on company of every regiment of
guard troops In the districts of St. Peters
burg and Mobcow Is to be sent to th far
east.
Cabling from Moscow, a Times corres
pondent says that Russian military men do
not conceal their satisfaction at the success
of Russian's five-month delay. They declare
their country today la ready for con
tingencies which would have been awkward
a few months ago. They appear to b
satisfied that Japan never can succeed In
forcing Russia's land position, even though
she comes out uppermost In th naval
campaign.
Th Western Union Telegraph company's
central cable offic is sdvised that tele
grams of all kinds for Japan and Corea
can now be forwarded by any route except
that of the Great Northern company, at
sender's risk. Messages for Japan are no

TO SAVE BALTIMORE
(Continued from First Page.)
the outlying residence districts, it was
necessary for them to put In ten and
twelve hours of continuous duty and al
most without shelter, and tho men were
thoroughly benumbed when relieved nt day
light. Even the soldiers on guard for but
two hours at a stretch, found this tour In
the Icy wind long enough, and considerate
officers permitted them to shelter them
selves in convenient doorways and build
mall picket fires wherever possible. Those
In exposed places paced to and fro to
keep tho blood In circulation. Three com
panies of troops were kept on continuous
patrol duty In the ruins throughout the
night .and the ' outer lines were marked
strongly as ever by the three regiments
and Yhe "riavdl brigade. So quiet were
the conditions that the military headquar
ters in the marshal's office were practically
closed at midnight,- the higher officers tak
ing several hours to sleep.
A confllot between state and federal gov
ernments was reported last night, when
one of the mall carriers, while endeavoring
to enter the poBtofflee for duty, was halted
by a private of the company of heavy
artillery, which was placed on guard around
that building and the subtreasury. In the
tncounter between the sentry and the carrier,-
the latter was hit over the head
ty the soldier's rifle, but was not seriously
Injured.
One branch of the city government that
Is running in full operation Is the mar

being Issued yesterday, and the rush con

Buildings of all descriptions in the down

There Is still a wide difference of opinion
among th Insurance men regarding tha
total loss. A minority express the belief
that when all adjustments have been made
the Insurance companies will not have to
pay more than $60,000,000, while other
think that 1100,000,000 will not more than
cover the Insurance. Between (80,000,000
And $90.000,0000, however, la the prevailing
estimate.

BOSTON. Feh. 10. The International
Printing Pressmen and Feeders' union and
other labor unions which are defemlnnts In
the suit brought by the I'nlted Typothetne
of America in connection with the strike
of Job compositors In this olty today filed
a demurrer in the supreme court to the
plaintiff's bill for an Injunction to restrain
a sympathetic strike.
The plaintiff's bill wns based on the
ground that a strike of the pressmen in
sympathy with the compositors would be
In violation of a contract made In 1.103 be
tween the typothetae and the Pressmen's
union. The defondants In their demurrer
claim that the plaintiff's bill should be
dismissed on the ground that it does not
appear to make a valid contract binding
upon Its members or that the pressmen
were In any way responsible for the strike
of the compositors.
Thirty union pressmen struck today at
the printing plant of Samuel Vsher. One
of them refused to handle a nonunion form,
whereupon he wns discharged. The others
then left In sympathy.

Sherman A MeConnell, Cor. 141th and
Dodge streets, (3-uarantee to Refund
Money If Hyomel Falls to Cure the'
Worst Case of Catarrh.
It is no uncommon thing to see a med
icine advertised as a "guufanteed cure."
But Investigation usually shows that the
guarantee la made by some unknown firm,
hundreds of miles away.
The guarantee, -though, that comes with
Hyomel, Is entirely different. It Is made
by flherman & MeConnell, one of the most
reliable drug firms In this section. They
advertise thut if Hyomel does not cure the
worst case of catarrh, they will return the
money without any question or argument.
No business house In Omaha has a better
reputation for square dealing than Siier
man ft MeConnell, and when they guaran
tee that they will refund the money If
Hyomel falls to cure catarrh, no one has
any question as to the agreement being
lived up to, both In the spirit and letter.
Hyomel Is very easy and pleasant to use.
Just breathe It through the little Inhaler
that comes with every outfit ; every breath
will bring recovery so much the nearer.
It kills all the germs of catarrhal troubles
In the air passages of the head, throat,
and lungs, soothes and heals the Irritated
mucous membrane, and ts the only na
tural cure for catarrh.
The complete outfit costs but one dollar,
and extra bottles of Hyomel can be ob
tained for fifty cents. Do not let a slight
catarrhal trouble develop Into one that
may be serious and chronic: Use Hyomel
at once, remembering that you run no
risk whatever when you try Hyomel on
Sherman ft MoCcnnel's offer .f "No cure,
no pay."
