WASHINGTON, June Si. A sweeping
chance In the cabinet of President Kooae
velt waa announced officially at the White
House totlajr. The announcement came In
the form of a brief typewritten statement
Issued br Secretary Loeb, aa follows:
"The following cabinet appointments are
announced: William H. Moody of Massa
chusetts, attorney general; Paul Morton of
Illinois, secretary of the navy; Victor H.
MetcaU of California, secretary of com
mere and labor."
The resignation at Secretary Cortelyou
and Attorney General Knox have been ao-
cepted to take affect July L
For two weeka or more It has beeu known
that these changes were Impending. When
Secretary Cortelyou was designated by
President Roosevelt to be hia campaign
manager It was certain that be would retire
from tb cabinet uoon hla assumption of
duties aa chairman of the republican na
tional committee. Just before he left for
Chicago last Wednesday be placed In the
hands of the president his letter of resig
nation from the Department of Commerce
and Labor. It was understood between the
president and him that the resignation was
to be accepted to take effect at the present
of the fiscal yea, June 'UK Inclusive. The
taking effect it his resignation at that time
would afford 'him an opportunity to con
plete some work In the department which
he had Initiated and which It waa Important
he should carry to a conclusion.
One week ago today Attorney General
Knox formally announced that be would
retire from the Department of Justice
probably at the end of the fiscal year. It
waa understood at the sams time that Sec
retary Moody would succeed Mr. Knox as
attorney general. The statement was made,
however, that, while the transfer of Sec
retary Moody to the Department of Justice
was very probable, it was dependent, in a
measure, on the president's success In se
curing such a successor for him In the
Navy department as he desired.
Mr. Morton Am Old Frteadl
In -pursuit of hla purpose to secure the
services ' of a thoroughly able and con
genial man. President Roosevelt tendered
the appointment of secretary of the navy
to Paul Mortou. first. vice president of the
Atchison, Topeka at Santa Fe railroad. Mr,
" Morton la a personal friend of the president
of -many years, standing.' He la a son of
the lata J, Sterling' Morton of Nebraska,
secretary of agriculture in Prealdent Cleve
land's last administration.' Mr. Morton has
had experience In Washington, having been
here with ai. father., -
Since Precedent Roosevelt ha been In the
' Whit House he has made more than one
effort to Induce Mr. Morton to accept a
position in his administration. Feeling that
his life work In the railroad business. In
which he has achieved success, might be
Impeded by his aooeptano of an official
position In the government, ha uniformly
has declined all suoh proffers. In eonee
, quenoe with this feeling, he declined tho
proffer of the portfolio of the navy. He
was requested by the president to con
sider his disinclination. He took dinner
at the White House and the whole subject
' waa considered, after which Mr. Morton
had consulted with his personal and busi
ness friends and associates. At the con
olualoa. of the conference Mr. Morton told
' the president he would accept the. poel'Jon
In the cabinet. Then It was that the other
changes, one of which, at least, was con
tingent upon Mr. Morton's action, was de
cided upon definitely, It- la expeoted that
further changes will take place In the
cabinet next winter. Postmaster General
Payne will retire from the cabinet after
the campaign. He will be succeeded by
National Chairman Cortelyou. Secretary
Moody will continue as a member of the
cabinet only until the end of the present
administration, on Marob 4 next, when he
mill ttrir tA Miter ti nan the nractlce of
law In Boston, It la quit likely that other
changes will take place In the event of
Mr. Roosevelt being elected president; but
no authority exists at this time upon which
to base a forecast of them.

bers Of hia cabinet assembled for the reg
ular semi-weekly meeting. In addition to
a dismission of the political situation and
an exchange of congratulations the presi

the customs rates Imposed by the Ding ley
tariff law should ha Imposed upon all goods
Imported Into the American sons on the
Isthmus of Panama, except o such goods

make such arrangements with the Treas
ury department for the services of experts

poses. Every encouragement will be given
to the Importation of such necessary
produots from this country.
It also was decided to establish 'on the
Isthmus such postofflces aa may be neces

PARIS. June Following a meeting of
the council of ministers today It was offi
cially announced that the government In
tended to send a warship to Haytl to de
mand redress for the Insult 'to Minister
Depres, who was stoned by the palace
guards on Wednesday. This decision fol
lowed Foreign Minister Delcasse's petition
of the circumstances of the assault to the
council.
The nature of , the redress which the war
ahlp will demand Is not yet announced.
The question of asking for an indemnity
has been considered, but it has not been
decided whether this will be required In
addition to a' most ample apology. One
of the ships of the French squadron Hn
West Indian waters will be designated to
make the demand.
Wants Outrages Slapped.
The semi-official Temps this afternoon
printed a leading article on the necessity
for putting an end to the repeated Incidents
In Central and South America, similar to
the stoning of Minister Depres.
The Haytten legation seeks to minimize
the affair, which it attributes to a few
disorderly soldiers. The embassy has not
been Informed of the Intentions of Germany
in regard to the atoning of the minister of
that country.
Geranaa Actloa I'ndeclded.
BERLIN, June 24. The Foreign office
treats the stoning of the German minister
at Port Au Prince calmly and Is disposed
to regard It as the work of boys or the idle
street populace. The government has not
yet determined what steps to take, but a
Foreign office representative Intimated that
an apology would be- demanded and that
pressure will be brought to bear If neces
sary by a demonstration of warships.
According to the Foreign office Informa
tion the German minister was not hurt.
while the French minister was struck by a
stone and slightly wounded. . .
PORT AU PRINCB. Hayti, June 14. The

companied by a man. She went to the
eleventh floor and, entering the office of
the life Insurance company, asked to have
a private Interview with Mr. Swayse.
In a few mtnutee the other persons In the
office hesrd a struggle, then screams which
were followed In quick succession by sev
eral pistol shots. Manager McCall of the
agency rushed agalnsr the door of the pri
vate room and broke It open. Miss Alvord
was prostrate on the floor, her hair dishev
elled, her waist torn and blood pouring
from the wounds In her neck and wrist.
Through the open window Mr. McCall could
see Swayse's hands clutching the window
ledge. They were In view for only a mo
ment. Then Swayse let go and his body
went . whirling down through the air. It
hit several wires and turned over twice,
striking on the face and chest. A bullet
wound Jn. hla nose showed that he had also
shot himself before taking the awful
plunge. There was Just a breath of life In
the body vhen It was picked up and that

and looking out saw Swayse's attempt to
throw Miss' Alvord out of the window.
Her head and shoulders were across the
ledge and she was fighting desperately,
Then the couple disappeared from the
window and the shots rang out followed by
Swayse's mad plunge. -
A letter, written by Swayae, was fouad
which. It Is said, explains, the tragedy,
It Is alleged that the letter says that Miss
Alvord and Swayse had been Intimate,
that the Intimacy was reapotisible for
Swayse's losing his position at the house
of correction, and that Miss Alvord had
been hounding him. '
PROCLAMATION N NOT CLEAR

(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. June St. (Special Tele
gram.) An erroneru wording of the presi
dent's proclarnatloit vpenmg to settlement
lands In Gregory county; South Dakota,
ceded by tbe Bloox Indians to the United
States, is causing the general land office
officials no end of trouble, Tha sentence
to which reference Is made reads a. fol
lows:
"To obtain registration each applloant
will be required to show himself duly
qualified, by written application to be made
oil a blank form provided by the commis
sioner of the general land office, to make
a homestead entry of these lands under
existing laws and to give the registering
officer such appropriate matters of de
scription -and identity as will protect the
applicant and government against any at
tempted lrr personation,"
The language of this clause would seem
to Indicate that blank forms could only be
obtained from the office of the commis
sioner of the general land office at Wash
ington. Such, however, Is not the fact.
These blanks are really only obtainable at
tha registration points named In the proc
lamation, namely Chamberlain, Tankton,
Bonesteel and Fairfax. 8. D. The chief
olerk of the general land office, Macey,
today Issued the following endeavor to
clear up the misapprehension which has
been caused by tha careless wording of ths
proclamation:
Referring to the president's proclamation
of May U. 1904, providing for the opening
of the Rosebud .ndlao reservstlon In which
It is stated at the bottom of page I that
applicants to register must use a blank
provided by the commissioner of the gen
eral land office, these blanks can be ob
tslned only at the registration points In
South Dakota named In the proclamation.
The only blank given out from the general
land office at Washington Is the blank form
of power of attorney for use of soldiers
who desire to register by an agent.

CHICAGO, June 24.-Speclal Telegram.)
-George B. Cortelyou, chairman of the
national committee, In a talk had with
The Bee correspondent today salJ: "Plans
for the management and direction of the
campaign have not yet been formulated.
We have Just nominated" our ticket and
naturally there will be a little breathing
spell until we find out what the enemy
proposes doing. There will be headquarters
maintained in Chicago and New York-Mr.-
Dover, secretary of the committee,
will be in charge of . the Chicago office,
while Mr. L. A. Coolldge will look after
matters In New Tork so far as literary
work Is concerned. As for myself. I Will
probably spend as much time in the west
as In the east, ss It Is my Intention to
keea In close ioueh with everything tnai
goes on. An executive committee will be
appointed, made up of members oi tne na
tional committee, but I have given this
matter little thought, believing It Is best
to look over the field before reaching a
conclusion. One thing Is certain, we want
all Interests at work for the success of
the ticket and it will by my aim to bring
this sbout."
"Will there be an advisory committee
appointed, as In the campaign of 1896 and
1900?" your correspondent asked Mr. Cortel
you. "I believe there will be," replied the
chairman. "Of course, I can say nothing
about matters now, for, really, everything
in connection with the. running of the cam
paign Is tentative. The committee has
clothed me with power to do what Is best
to insure the election of Roosevelt and
Fairbanks and until I have a comprehen
sive grasp of what la to be done, naturally,
nothing can be said." - ,
Get Basy la Jaly.
Mr. Cortelyou goes to Washington to
morrow, as will Secretary Dover, to ar
range details at that end. Mr. Cortelyou
win remain east for some little time after
he leaves ths Department of Commerce and
Labor, on July L but expect to be In Chi
cago about the middle of July, when the
active work of the campaign will begin.
Chicago headquarters will be tbe Audi
torium Annex, where they have been dur
lna the last two campaigns, and in New
Tork they will be In the Manhattan Trust
building. '
It is thought the visit of Elmer Dover to
the national capital at this time In connec
tlon with' Secretary Cortelyou is for the
purpos of giving President Roosevelt first
hand Information of conditions and to out
line a plan of campaign with the nominee
Tha rloa presidential nominee. Senator
Fairbanks, will have very little to .do with
the running of the campaign and whatever
details are made In which Senator .Fair
banks max ' be Interested will . be looked
after by bis friend, Colonel Ransdell, aer-
gnant-at-arms of the senate.
It was thought that Mr. Cortalyou's hur
ried return to Washington was for the
purpose of arranging his family affairs and
possibly sending his family to Hempstead,
L, I., but this tha chairman denied, stattng
that hi family would remain In Washington,-
aa he had taken the house be now
occupied for a term of years.
Will B Business Campaign.
There Is absolutely no change In George
B. Cortelyou since the days when he was
secretary of President McKlnley. He has
the same hearty handshake and good-
natured smile as of old, power and pres
tige, in no way having changed this man
who ba won every position he has occu
pied by sheer force of merit. There will
be no lagging behind if Cortelyou can pre

PRELIMINARIES TO THE BIG ASSAULT
Koaroitkla Said to Be Retiring 14
Urdrrto Avoid a Meeting
with Oku and Karekl's
Armies.
CHICAGO, June 24. A special to tha
Dally News from Che Foo says: Another
demonstration took place off Port Arthur
yesterday. Firing began from the forts
about 10 a. m. and continued until 1 p.
m. The program was about tha same a
on the previous day. The destroyers an4
torpedo boats pursued the same tactic
and an auxiliary cruiser lay off the Island
until the firing had ceased, when It pro
ceuUed eastward at full speed.
On the some evening firing began heavily
from the bluff with much activity of tha
searchlights, Indicating the apprach of tor-
pedo craft. A ltUe later the sound of more
distant firing was heard, evidently from
the land side of Fort Arthur, continuing
until 1:30 this morning, with a brief re
newal at B o'clock a. m. During that
period there was an almost uninterrupted
thunder as of field guns and volley firing,
p"unctuated with crashes as of siege guns.
It Is probable that what took place waa
a general shore action, with a naval dem
onstration. It seems as though the Japa
nese intend to wear out the defenders by
continued night activity before making a,
final simultaneous soa and land attack.
General Battle Expected.
BERLIN, June 26. Gutieral Gaedke, cor
respondent of the Tageblatta In the far
east, telegraphing from the Russian head
quarters, says that on June 23 the Japanese
occupied Kal'Chau and that a decisive bat
tle of the united armlua of General Oku
and General Kuroki with the Russian mala
army Is expectod shortly.
Cavalry la Ineffective.
GENERAL KUROKI'H HEADQUAR
TERS IN THE FIELD, Via Fusan, June
23. (Delayed In Transmission. ) A Russian
cavalry division, commanded by General
RennenkampfT, opposes the Japanese right
flank. The country is mountainous and
almost Impossible for cavalry operations,
although It is Ideal for infantry movements, '
hence the cavalry forays upon which tha
Russians have greatly depended to harass
the Japanese have proved Ineffective.
Konropatkla Is Retiring. ,
ST. PETERSBURG, Juns 24.-6:47 P. m.
Today' news from the theater of war
Indicates that General Kouropatkln Will not
give battle to the combined armies of Gen
erals Oku and Kuroki near Kin Chou. Doubt
is now cast upon the Impression prevail
ing for several days that the bulk of tha
Llao Yang army had been advanced south
ward, though It may that General Kou
ropatkln -Is concentrating his forces In tho
neighborhood of Hal Chang. The only thing
that can be stated with certainty Is that
the Information received by the war office
shows that General Kouropatkln has no In
tention of ' seriously contesting the Japa
nese advance on Kin Chou, which would
seem to carry with it ths decision to prac
tically abandon tha entire peninsula to the
enemy,' and aa a necessary cousequenoe tho
withdrawal of tha Russian troops from
New Chwang.
According to the latent reports General
Oku's outposts ara four miles north of
Senuchen and the Russian outposts are
elaht mile north of tha same claca and
gradually falling back along tha line of .
tbe railroad.
It Is likely that the Japanese will reach
Kin Chou la a couple of days. General
Kurokl's three columns seem to have sun- '
pended their advanoe, pending General
Oku's arrival at Kin Chou. They are oc
cupying tha three roads loading from 81 u.

Japanese Position ta Doubt.
Tha exact position of the Japanese on ths
Ta Tche Klao road Is not known, but one
column at Vandlapudxa, forty miles from
Hal Chang, and another Is at Cbapanlln,
twenty-live miles from Kin Chou. Mill
tary critics approve of General Kouropat
kln's decision not to tight at Kin Chou,
which, they point out. Is a particularly un
favorable position, exposed to a flank front
Kuroki on one side and to a possible land-

Japanese forces engaged in this movement
are estimated at 160, MX) man and an en or
moua numbor of guns. Apparently two f
divisions have left Port Arthur, which) '
would account for tha practical suspension
of the siege operations, but whloh may also
be due to the reported loss of tha slag ;.
train on board Japanese transports.
Although much interest la manifested la '
the foreign reports of the loss of thes
guns and In tha report from tho earns
source of tbe drowning of Commander-in-Chief
Oyama and his staff, ths admlrUty;
has no confirmation of thes rumor.

IJAO TANG. June 84. Captain von Lang
and twenty-six volunteer scouts have re
joined the command, arriving her after a
hot skirmish with the Japanese rear guard.
Von Lang and his little command started
out on horseback to Investigate tha num
bers and movements of ths enemy. They

When In the rear of the Japanese main
body they were surrounded by two com
panies of cavalry, but they cut their way

five men. . Nearly all thetr horaea were
scattered. They escaped to the hills, where
the Japanese cavalry was unable , to follow
them, and they surissVeded m rejoining tbe
colors with much Information.
Reinforcements are constantly arriving
