' BAN FRANCISCO, Sept. U.-No repre
tentative Sf the? United' States government
has yet boarded the Russian cruiser Lena
for the .purpose" oti -substantiating .fhe
claims of) Captain A. T. Berllnsky that the
warship' put Into this port solely for the
reason Dint Its boilers were In such a
condition as to render. It absolutely un
seaworthy. The Russian warship has now
remained !r port long over the twenty-four
hour limit, and prominent members of the
local Russian and Japanese colonies are
evincing great Interest In what they are
prone to designate a "serious conl plication."
It has been learned that the local Inspector
of hulls 'and boilers, John K. Bulger, will
leave at 8"' o'clocV In the morning on the
United States revenue, cutter Hartley for
the Lena. , He will make a thorough in
spection' of Its bolters and aa soon as possi
ble will submit a written report to Collector
of the "Port " tStratton. ' tTpon this . report
may depend whether or not the Lena Is
ordered . to put to sea or whether It will
be allowed to remain Until such time aa
the repairs deemed necessary may be made.
The Japanese were the first to bestir
themselves, when thy learned of the pres
ence of the Russian "Ship. Prominent mem
bers of the ',' Japanese colony called on
Klshaburo Uyeno, the Japane' consul general,-
and long conference was held. What
took place. 'at ' this aesslon Is' told by a
prprrtlneni: Japanese. . He, sulC that It was
decided to have the Japanese consul gen
era call on Collector' Stratton and make
the' demand that the Lena leave port im
mediately. In the event of the refusal of
this request the consul general was advised
to demand of Collector" Stratton that be be
allowed to ba the sol Judge of the fitness
of the Russian cruiser to put to sea.
. Demand of the Jasaa.u.
, In accordance with these plana the Japa
nese consul general called upon Collector
Stratton shortly after. he entered his office
this morning. The two gentlemen were
closeted for an hour and a- half. Neither
principal of the colloquy - would disclose
what 'had been aald, but It was learned
that at times the ' discussion ' was most
animated.

ordered to leave within the twenty-four
hour limit, Collector Stratton returned a
curt refusal. As reported. It was then
that Consul General Uyeno made the de
mand that he be permitted to be the Judge
of the seaworthiness of the Russian ship.
The reply that Collector Stratton made
was In effect that the United States was
not nly willing but ab to cope with
the situation without the assistance of
either of the belligerents. ' When Consul
Uyeno' emerged from the collector's, office
he denied that the're1 had' been any fric
tion. That was all he would say at the
time.
Russian Captain's Statement.
In the afternoon Captain Berllnsky of
the Lena; accompanied by the. Russian
consul, Paul Kosakevltch, called on Col
lector Stratton. Captain Berllnsky assured
the collector that he would be most happy
to acquiesce In any demand relative to an
Investigation of the condition of his ship
that .the, collector thought necessary. He
carried with him duplicate copies of a
somewhat lengthy statement, one of which
he sent to the Japanese consulate, and the
other to Admiral Goodrich, commanding
the American fleet now In. the harbor. The
contents of this statement were not made
publlo at the time, but-it was known that
the captaia explained why the Lena was
In thin port, Just what repairs he deemed
necessary to make his ship seaworthy, and
Just how much coal he thought essential
for him to take on board. '
Up to this time Collector Stratton had
been working In the dark. He made the
following statement to the newspaper men
who were awaiting a termination of his
Interview with the Russian officers:
"Under the circumstances, I am unable
to say much for publication. 1 will say,
however, tkat this delay la not caused by
my Ignorance of the points of international
law Involved In this matter. These are
absolutely clear and I understand, them
thoroughly. . The point is, I don't know
Just how far I can go without authority."
Just then a telegram from Washington
was handed the collector. Its contents he
refused to. make public.
Mar Xeed Extensive Repairs.
Rear Admiral Goodrich lunched with
Captain Berllnsky and other officers of the
Lna on board the vessel.- They-could not
be reen. Lieutenant Zotoff. speaking for
the captain, stated that the main object
of the Russian vessel in making this port
was to have absolutely necessary repairs
made to its engines and boilers. Its bot
tom Is foul and will have to be cleaned In
dry dock. The lieutenant said that tho
Lena's coal bunkers were far from being
depleted and he thought It would -be un
necessary for it to ooal at this port.
The United States Inspector of hulls and
boilers has been ordered to make a thor
ough examination of the Lena and on his
report will largely depend the duration of
the stay of the vessel in this ba,' If it Is
decided that repairs are , required they will
be made aa rapidly as' possible and It Is
generally anticipated that this la what will
be done.
Collector of the Port Stratton has not re
ceived any definite Instructions from
Washington, but has wired a full state
ment of the result and an answer Is soon
expected.
In the meantime, the collector, In view
of the act that the repairs are said to bo
Imperative, has refused to order the Lena
from the harbor within twenty-four hours
without a full investigation.
Under Onas of .(he Ohio.
The Lena is anchored, betwoun the four
army transports lying In Mission bay and
the new battleship Ohio. lit fact, it la
on,ly about 500 yards from the big guns of
the battleship which was accepted by the
government on Saturday.
Going alongside the dark hull, a line of
Russian Jackie were seen along the rail.
At the top of the boarding ladder a file
of marines were drawn up on the deck and
an officer wearing the white cap, that war
Illustrations have made familiar, blocked
the way, but after fe words pointed to
the cabin.
The saloon of the Lena Is a spacious
apartment, as the vessel was a passenger
liner before th war. At one end of th
table a group of officers were drinking
coffee and smoking Russian cigarettes.
Navigating Officer Speneff, who spok ex
cellent English, said:
"We were Bent to Vladivostok to trans
fer the troops home when the war should
be over. The Lens: Is not a warship. W

"Needing repairs, we were first ordered
back to th Baltic. Afterward the or
ders were changed and we have oome here,
aa the nearest port In which we could ret
the new boilers we need."
Mar Btay t'atll War Eats.
Being asked how long ha would remain
here. Officer Speneff said: "We expect
orders from our naval representative at
Washington, who ha Just been advised of
our arrival. It Is probable that he will ask
th American government for Its permission
to remove the guns from our decks and al
low the vessel to remain here until th re
pairs csn b finished."
Wheri asked how long he thought that
would require, he said:
u'The Lna will probably remain hr un
til th war Is over. ' W expect that th
officer and craw win be sent horns by the
way of New York.'V,- v.

guns of the Ohio. "Bui," h added, "If the
government will not let us dismantle th
ship we will have to make hasty repairs
and put to sea."
The Japanese consul had little to say on
the subject of the Lena's presence In the
harbor. "I have wired to the Japanese
minister at Washington," said he, "notify
Ing him of th vessel's arrival here. The
Japanese government will take no action
at th present, but will wait for the United
States to make the first move. The vessel
does not Impress me as being; formidable.
and I do not bellev that It has come to
this port In a spirit of enmity to th Jap
anese."
This afternoon the Russian consul and
the captain of the Lena held a conference
with Collector Stratton, but the result of
the meeting has not been announced.
American gqnadron I Held.
The Chronicle says the sailing orders of ths
American squadron now In this port have
been cancelled by a dispatch from the Navy
department to Rear .Admiral C. F. Good
rich. Instructing him to awawalt further
orders. The squadron, which consists of
the armored cruiser New York, the cruisers
Boston and Marblehead, the gunboat Ben
nlngton and the, torpedo boat destroyer
Paul Jones, were under orders to salt today
for Magdalena bay for target practice.
The sudden change of orders. It Is said,
Is due to the unexpected arrival of th Rus
slan warship Lena In this port.

LONDON. Sept. 13. The Morning Post's
Japanese critic In London says the arrival
of the Russian transport Lena at San
Francisco "opena another chapter In the
somewhat long ocoount which the historian
of the present war will have to give of the
observance by the -various powers of neu
trality obligations. That the United States
will b resolute and prompt In the enforce
ment of Its laws goes without saying. The
subterfuges which served Russia's turn
where Chinese neutrality had been in ques
tion will not suffice to secure a prolonga
tion of the Lena's stay where California
harbors are concerned. That the appear
ance of the Lena at San Francisco coin
cides with the projected shipments of large
quantities of flour and other cargoa to
Japan from the Pacific coast i a circum
stance which, United States officials as
suredly will not fall to observe."
Beyond some further deductions based
upon the details of the battle of Llao Yang
the London morning newspapers have prac
tically no comment to make upon the war
situation. There is no confirmation of the
Dally Mall's report of the cutting of the
Japanese line of communication or of the
Morning Poet's story of the capture of
Lieutenant General Sassalltch.

In the past the Japanese liav declared
their belief that the Russians were using

on the wounds made by the bullets when
they struck, and they now claim they

found dum-durr. ammunition in the field at
Llao Yang. This evidence Is not consld
ered conclusive, however.
The impression was held In Llao Yang
that the Russians hud destroyed the rail
road between there and Mukden, but an ex
amination of the line as far north as pos
sible showed it to be everywhere Intact.
This la. taken to Indicate that the Russian
hope to use the line again. They posted

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. II. (New York
Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to
The Bee.) General Stoessel's message of
thanks to the emperor In return for the
Cross of St. George of the third degree I
published this morning, having occupied six
days In reaching this city. Apropos of thl
message, a friend of the heroic commander
of Port Arthur tells the following rather
sensational story:
After deliberation of the highest author
lty In the land, a decision was reached that
It was useless to hold Port Arthur, except
for the value of the warship there. Ac
cordingly an Imperial order was given to
the Askold by Admiral Wlthoft, with hi
dying breath, for the ships to go forth and
not on any account to return. This accom
pllshed, and Russia's honor having been
fully vindicated by Its gallant defense, the
garrison was to give up the next day In
order to save further useless loss of life
This humane Intention was frustrated by
Admiral Ouktomsky's defiance of Instruc
tions. Once again the fleet la to go out.
Immediately afterwards the ships unfit to
go to sea are to be blown up,' and then
General Stoessel, who has been decorated
with the highest order for bravery, will be
Instructed to surrender the port.
The second Pacific squadron Is coaling
at Llbau. There Is good reason for doubt
lng that It will ever get further.
The silence of the Japanese Is reminiscent
of that which preceded the previous big
attack and gives the impression that the
Japanese are employing their usual tactics
the pursuing armies of Oku and Nodiu
holding back, while Kurokl is operating an
extensive flanking movement.
NOXCOMBATAKTS HAVE HARD TIME
Japanese Report on Conditions of
People at Llao Vang.
TOKIO, Sept. 12. 2 p. m. A telegram re
ceived here from Field Marshal Oyama at
midnight last night gives the disposition
of the Russian troops In the vicinity of
Yental and Mukden. He says that a large
force of Russian cavalry Is posted at Ping
Tultse, which is about twenty-four miles to
the east of the Yental railroad station.
and that another force of cavalry occupied
the town of Helllngchai, to tne northward
of Ping Taltse. Other bodies of cavalry,
with artillery, are located at Huang Shan-
lln, on the eastern road out of Mukden, as
well as in the neighborhood or Yument
Bushan, which Is. occupied by the Japa
nese. Some detachments of Russian cavalry
art posted at Fanchl, Kushutul and Men
hukutun, along the railroad between Yen
tal and Mukden, and ar apparently keep
lng in touch with and watching the Japa
nose. ' .
Another report - received from the head'
quarters of the Martchurian army tells of
the pldabto condition of nOndombatanta in
Llao Yang. It reta'testhat while the Rus
sians wer holding' the defense works close
to Llao Yang they prohibited the removal
of noncombatonts from the city and conse
quently many were killed or wounded. Dr.
A. M. Westwater, well known British
medical missionary, of Llao Yang, la at
present sheltering 00 noncombatants and
feeding and nursing many more. Conclud
ing,' the report saysr
The condition of these people Is beyond
description and it Is awful to see the re
sults of this Russian Inhumsnlty. The
killed and wounded were, of course, hit by
our fire, but the Russians were responsible.
It Is a great pity to extend the calamities
to noncombatants.
Additional reports from the army head
quarters concerning dumdum bullets says:
"Among the Russian munitions captured
at Liao Yang are two kinds of dumdum
bullets, which very much resemble, those
made for the Russian rifle of the 1891 type.
They do not, however, fit this rifle exactly.
We made search for rifles which equld hnve'
fired these bullets, but failed to find them.
"Two wounds received by some of our
men are comparatively large, and It seems
likely that they were made by dumdum
bullets. We hnve, however, been unable to
ascertain this definitely.
. "The presence of the bullets explains It
self. 'Photographs of the bullets snd paper
relating to this matter will be forwarded
later."

Russian Pnprr Think American Too
Busy to intervene.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 11 Ct-M a. m.)
Reports of Impending Intervention by the
powers to end the war are considered today
by the Novoe Vremya, which says there
Is no prospect of such action by France,
which country would sincerely like to see
peace. The paper says It would rather that
Germany should undertake the tank of sep
arating th combatants, while Germany has
not the same material Interests to be af
fected as France and the United States.
"On the other hand." the Novoe Vremya
continues, "America Is entirely too busy with
the national election- to undertake such a
daring task, so Russia as well may look
forward to the conclusion of the war with
out prospect that any world power will
even attempt to Interfere."
Thre Armies Ioot Llao Yasr.
LIAO YANG. Sept. 8 (via Tien Tsln, Sept.
12.) The looting of Llao Yang has few
parallels In the annals of warfare. Three
urmie on three different day had posses
sion of the city and engaged in aots of
depredations "
When the Russians entered Into the oc
cupation of Llao Yang they built a model
Russian city outside the old walled Chi
nese olty, and thousands of troops were
lodged within its gates. Whin the Japa
nese drove the Russian out of th Shan
sampo hills th. Russian soldiers realised
thst th town must fall and forgot all dis
cipline. They looted th ' town, spsrlng
neither Chinese nor European shops, de
stroying what they could not carry away.
They destroyed great quantities of food
stuffs and other goods, ripping open bales,
bgs and boxes with the ever-ready bayo
net and scattsrlng their contents over the
streets. Much liquor was found and the
soldiers, becoming drunk, committed fur
ther excesses. During the Interim of the
departure of the Russlsns and ths arrival
of th Japanese the Chines soldiers and
polios finished th work the Russian
began, pillaging th shops that were not
found by the Russian. Then when th
Japanese cam they thoroughly completed
the looting. Thy had been fighting for flv
days without food txcept dry He and
brok loo upon entering the town. The
Jspnn.se looted rlghrand left. The shops
having already suffered th Japen
turned their attention to the private houses.
They wanted food principally, but over
looked nothing. This was ths first tlm in

looting a captured city, snd their officers

The report published by the Dally Mail

and weak backs have been relieved and cured
by wearing ALLCOCK'S PLASTERS.
They are a wonderful combination of healing
gums, ABSOLUTELY SAFE, guaranteed
to contain no belladonna or any other poison
and can be used on the tenderest skin. They
cure by absorption.
Their immense sale during the past 57 rears has
caused legions of imitations. Beware of them.
Ask for ALLCOCK'S and see that you get the genu
inc. Don't be humbugged by any "just as Good."

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of
pi", liquid medicines and o-cal!ed system
tonics. I'nder such treatment the germs
of the disease will, still live In the air
passages and increase, and multiply.
Hvomol . Is the only sclent 1.1c and
thorough way to cure cutarrh. Killing the
germs In the air passages. It enters the
blond with the oxygen, drstroya the mi
crobes In the blood and effectually drives
from the system alt traces of catarrhal
poison.
Probably the strongest evidence that can
be offered as to the powers of llyomel to
cure catarrh Is the fact that Sherman .t
McConnell, ltith and Podge streets, Omaha,
will agree to refund the money if you sy
llyomel has not cured you.
The complete llyomel outfit costs but
Sl.00 and consists of an Inhaler that can be
carried In the vest pocket, a medicine
dropper and a bottle of llyomel. The in-
hnler lust a lifetime, and if one bottle docs
not cure, an extra bottle of llyomel can be
obtained for 50c.
