RUSSIA APPARENTLY FIRM IN MANCHURIA
War Preparation (io All Round
While MnscoTltee Strenuthen Posi
tion in Disputed Chinese Ter
ritory and Jaan Watches.
LONDON. July 28. The Standard this
morning- prints a Tien Tsln dispatch whi :h
ays the New Chwang trains are crowded
with Russian troops going: in the direction
l of Port Arthur, that these trains are
taking precedence over normal trafflc and
Vhat heavy guns and artillery Is also being
f sent.
The Times this morning presents a Peking
dispatch commenting on the alanchurlan
situation. It says Russia's declaration to
the powers on the opening of Manchurlan
ports was Interpreted In Peking to mean
that Russia will not permit China to enter
Into any engagements regarding Manchuria
which may embarrass Russia In the fu
ture when the territory finally becomes a
Russian province. Hence the Times corre
spondent says Russia's refusal to permit
In Manchuria foreign settlements similar to
those In Chinese treaty ports.
Holds America .Hoodwinked.
It Is openly contended by the Russians
h Hurhln la purely a Russian city to
which a foreign consul could only be ap
nutntad with Russian consent. If the
United States considers the declaration
satisfactory and believes RuhsIu will re
sist In the development of foreign trade In
Manchuria. It must be kept in surprising
Ignorance of the unhappy experience of an
American, trading company both at Vladi
vostok and Port Arthur.
The air Is full of rumors and the situa
tion seems pregnant with possibilities.
There Is no evidence of Russia evacuating
Manchuria. On the contrary, reinforce
ments are constantly arriving, there is a
continuous southward movement of troop
Whilst as a result of General Kuroptkln's
Visit, Dalny Is to have two powerful forts
and a garrison of 15,000.
The coast and the railway from Port
Arthur to a point two stations above
Dalny is to be strongly fortified. Ther
are Incessant shipments of coal and food
stuffs to Port Arthur, troops are drillinif
everywhere and gun practice Is tncessuit
on the Russian fleet, all of which may not
forbode war, but which accounts for'' the
fear common in North China that war Is
possible.
After describing the movement of Rus
sian troops to other points the dispatch
concludes by saying that the stories of
British-Japanese Joint notes to Russia, pub
lished In various papers, are fictions so far
as can be ascertained at Peking.
I'p to the present time no policy could be
more reasonable or more self-restrained
than Japan's, but It is impossible to con
ceal the fact that the uncertainty of the
iuiure causes uneasiness.

CONSUL DEFIES CUBAN COURT
Hide. Book. Desired In Official Safe
and Almost Raise. Interna
tlonal Question.
HAVANA, July 21. In reference to the
statement that the government at Wash
ington, under the authority of the Piatt
amendment, would exercise supervision of
the Cuban loan, President Palma says any
such supervision would be considered
odious by the people of Cuba, though he
anticipated that none would, be regarded
as necessary.
He explains that Cuba has fully met the
reaulrements of the Piatt amendment in
this regard by providing for an increase
In the public revenues in excess of the
sum required to meet the Interest and sink
ing fund and that. In addition, there is al
ready a surplus of more than $3,000,000 in
the treasury.
While It would be natural and proper for
the United States to satisfy Itself that the
conditions of the Piatt amendment were
being complied with. President Palma does
not believe any sort of Intervention or
supervision Is contemplated.
President Palma has decided that It la
unnecessary to summon the senate In spe
clal session In connection with the olectr:il
bill or the bill extending the authority of
the president In the matter of the loan, as
both can be acted upon In November,

Grand Jury Fails to Implioate Hargis
Taction in Crimes Alleged.
TERRIFIED WITNESSES FAIL AT ?INCH
Evidence Anticipated In Investigation
Doe. Mot Materialise, Consequently
Murder Suspects (jo Free In
Breathitt County.
JACKSON, Ky., July 24.-H Is stated to
night that threats had been made against
Charles Green and that he was intimi
dated so that he failed to Identify the al
leged assassins of James Cockrlll before
the grand Jury now In session.
By a vote of 8 to 4 the grand Jury re
fused to indict Deputy Sheriff William
Qrltton as an accessory to the murder of
Town Marshal James Cockrlll. The Jury
was divided throughout the afternoon and
finally adjourned.
The Jury also failed to Indict Asbury
Splcer. Charles Green said he recognised
two men, whose names he did not know,
with Curtis Jett when the three shot Cock
rlll from the courthouse window. On the
strength of this Brltton and Splcer were
arrested, but (Green's failure to Identify
them as the murderers so weakened the
evidence against the men that the grand
Jury refused to indict.
Green was brought and kept here under
duress and and has been In terror since he
came. He was taken back to Lexington
jy a detachment of soldiers.
As Riley Coldlron came from the grand
jury room he was arrested by Sheriff Cal
lahan on a charge of perjury.
Culdiron swore that Brltton and Spicer
were with Curtis Jett when Town Marshal
James Cockrlll was killed last summer.
Ux-Senator Alex Hargla gave evidence be
fore the grand Jury for the Indictment of
Coldlron for perjury, and County Attorney
Hlanton opposed the Indictment, Insisting
that the prosecution should have been
pushed further in the Cockrlll case Instead
of persecuting the witnesses. The grand
Jury refused to indict Coldlron and ordered
his release, as well as that of Spicer and
Brltton, because of Insufficient evidence.
McKlnley Cockrlll, a brother of the as
sassinated town marshal, is In great dis
tress tonight and claims that the prosecu
tion has not been sufficiently pushed
against his brother's assassins.
The antl-Cockrlll people are openly Jub
ilant tonight over the result of the work
of the present grand Jury, which Is prac
tically completed.
CLAIMS TO CREATE LIFE
Indiana Doctor Says He Ha. Turned
Crystal. Into Living;
Germ.,
ANDERSON, Ind., July 24. With one
ounce of common salt, six ounces of pure
water, six ounces of 90 per cent alcohol,
all mixed In an ordinary glass dish, and
two ounces of aqua ammonia distributed
In five small plates and all covered by an
air tight glass tube. Dr. Charles W. Llt-
tleneld of Alexandria. Ind., declares he has
created life In the form of thousands of
atoms or animated substances similar to
well developed germs of life and trilobltes
According to Dr. Littlefleld. only ninety
minutes were consumed while salt crystals
were Impregnated with the hydrogen and
volatile magnetism of the chemical solu
tion nnd transferred into living forces that
at once sought nourishment through me
dlums that Dr. Littlefleld termed feeders,
lacking any technical name.
Microscopic examination showed that
crystals not affected by the mixture re
tain their original cubic or square form,
while the magnetized crystals were of
hexagonal shape, with life first appearing
In the center and spreading until tho
crystal was round and finally of globular
shape.
The mass of lifelike substances possessed
magnetism to a pronounced degree,
radiating a power that would separate the
crystals that draw them together again.
It has not been determined whether the
germs or atoms would propagate. Dr. Lit
xieneia says ne repeated his experiments
several times, always with practically the
same successful results.

shot-through the body.

wounded, attempted to assist his son In the
battle in the hallway and got out of bed
and went to the dooi, where he dropped
dead.
