The attack, winch was .similar to oth ers experienced by Secretary Hay dur ing recent year-, was attributed to a cold contracted on bis journey from Washington to Niwbi-rry l.t-t Saturday. From Tuesday Secretary Hay's con dition continued apparently to improve, and no danger was apprehended as late at eariy Friday evening. Mrs." 1 lay and Drs.

CZAR DECLARES STATE Of WAR EXISTS AT ODESSA Admiral Kruger's Squadron Sails to (be Rescue-Properly Worth Millions is Burned By Incendlarlcs-Llbau Sailors Revolt. SEIZE ARMS, FIRE INTO OFFICERS' QUARTERS, AND ENGAGED BY COSSACKS. Partial Law In Odessa, and the Disorderly Element Brourjnt Partially Under Control, but fresh Uprisings Are Threatened Hundreds, and Perhaps Thousands, Slain In Wednesday Night's Clashes With Troops Dead Sailor Taken Ashore and Given Military Burial Without Interference The Guns ot the Battleship Knlf z Potemkin, Armed By Mutinous Sailors, Command the City. The Czar Inn declared a state of war In Odessa and vicinity and placed the district under military authority, which the revolutionary tnohs defy. Admiral Krugcr, with what ships of the Black Sea Squndron that are Dot in the bunds of mutineers, has orders to sink the vessels held by tho mutinous crews If not surrendered. The squadron wasdclaycd at Sebustopol, it is believed, by revolts among the crews. The revolution is spreading among the Kussiun soldiers and Bailors, anil the spirit of rebellion is becoming manifest umong even the troops iu St. Petersburg. The crew of a government transport on arrival at Odessa mutin ied and turned over the officers in irons to the revolutionary crew of the battleship Kninz Potemkin. The volunteer licet cruiser Snratoff has been burned. For 4i hours the city of Odessa was the scene of earnnge and de struction. Hundreds have been killed and wounded in the fighting between the troops and the rioters. Wharf proprieties and vessels, including live Russian steamers, aggregating in value million of dollars, have been burned. The hospitals arc Idled with the dying and the wounded. Should the Russian naval forces lie unable to restore order and put down the mutiny in the fleet the foreign consuls will ask their respective governments to dispatch warships to Odessa. The elected mayors of the large Russian cities have declared boldly for a constitution, and the remstvos of St. Petersburg and Moscow have decided to notify the C'.ar that unless the promised re forms are promulgated by the middle of July they will declare a con stitutional government. Ciar Declsrcs a Stale of War. St. Petersburg (By Cable). The Em peror has issued the following ukase addressed to the ruling senate: "In order to guarantee public safety and to terminate the disorders at Odes sa and neighboring localities we have found it necessary to declare a state of war in Odessa and district and to invest the commander of the troops in the mili tary district of Odessa with the rights of military authority and special rights of civil administration for the defense of order and public tranquillity." Mutiny Spreads Id Black Sea Fleet. St. Petersburg (By Cable). A dis patch arrived here from Sevastopol an nounced that a squadron of battleships, the Tri Sviatitelia, Sinope and Rostis lav, with a cruiser and several torpedo beats, started for Odessa at 8 o'clock P. M. This explains the nonappearance of the squadron at Odessa, but it is diffi cult to conjecture the reasons for de laying departure two days at such a critical juncture. It is feared that there has been mutiny on other ships of the fleet. Reports are in circulation that the mutineers control several of the largest ships. It is reported that the volunteer fleet cruiser Saratoff has been burned at Odessa. . Admiral Kruger's orders are to sum mon the Knia?. Potemkin to surrender, and, upon her refusal, to sink her, after which he is to assist in restoring order in the town. It is doubted, however, whether his orders can be carried out. Even the officials here admit that it is question able if Admiral Kruger's men wdll fire on their comrades, and discuss the pos sibility of their joining the mutiny. Should they do so, and should an or ganized force co-operate with the riot ers, there is every likelihood of a part at least of the troops joining them. There is an unconfirmed report that trouble similar to that at Libau has broke 11 out at Rival. The ministry of marine politely refuses to give the least information concerning the troubles at those places or at Odcs'a, but official circles, especially the department of po lice, believe that the outbreaks were planned by revolutionists, and are mani festly alarmed. Their alarm is shared by the higher social circles of the capital, where the huig-establislied faith in the unflinching loyalty of the Emficrer's armed forces is beginning to waver, bringing inevitable dread that the revolution so iiftcn de clared to be impossible has already be gun. It is unquestionable that the oc currences at Odessa and Lilian have more deeply impressed the ruling classes here than all the defeats in Manchuria, and the destruction of the navy com bined. The city is filed with stories of disaf fection and sedition among the troops, even the guard regiments, it is reiortd, say they will never again fire upon the people. The Cossacks alone, according tfi these reports, are absolutely reliable. That dissatisfaction and discontent among the seddiers is widespread ad mits ef little doubt. Up to the present time there is no reason to believe that the vast bulk of the army is not loval. U hat the effect would be of several reg iments going over to the rioters is, how ever, problematical. Cert am!y a crisis has been reached. Another Jump la Cottoo. New York (Special). An active and exciting advance took place in the cot ton market, carrying prices to a new high level for the season. Final quota tions were within 3 or 4 points of the top and firm at a gain of 27 lo .32 points for the day. The advance was chiefly due to reports of crop damage from heavy rains 111 the Southwest and active covering and aggressive bull support. Sales for the day were estimated at 600, 000 bales. Trala Rum Awiy. Denver, Col. (Special). While climb ing the steep grade into Castle Rock, Col., a heavily laden freight train broke in two sections. Thirty-three cars rush ed down the hill, crashed into the head of the Colorado and Southern passen ger train and demolished the locomotive. Nearly all of the coaches of the passen ger train were derailed and many pas sengers were badly bruised, but none, it is reported, was fatally injured. Frank McAdams, of Denver, who wa freight fireman, was killed. Hundreds Killed; Odessa la Flsmes. Odessa (By Cable). The crew of a government transport which arrived here from Nickolicff mutinied, seized their officers and joined the crew of the bat tleship Kniaz Potemkin, to whom they turned over the captain and other offi cers ed the transport. It is reported that the foreign con suls have applied to their respective governments to send warships to Odes sa. Anarchy has reigned for 48 hours. The inhabitants at night were panic stricken and huddled together in the houses. The streets all night were filled with frenzied workmen fighting the troops. The warehouses, quays and some of the shipping in the harbor con tinued in flames. The correspondent had to make his way to the telegraph office through dense smoke, which cov ered the city like a pall. He heard volleys every few minutes. The mob pillaged hundreds of houses. Bluejackets with machine guns landed from the battleship Kniaz Potemkin. in the hands of the mutineers, and thev fought with the strikers behind barri cades against the troops. Hundreds were killed, and the hos pitals were crowded with wounded. Many of the soldiers joined the mu tinous sailors in fighting the troops. The entire water front was swept bv the fires started by the mob. All the warehouses, with large quantities of mer chandise, as well as five Russian steam ers, were burned. The losses are estimated at many mil iums of rubles. The remnants of the wharves and warehouses set on fire are still burning, and the city is en veloped in a thick cloud of smoke. Several explosions occurred in the port during the night, and fierce con flicts took place between troops and rioCers, The hospitals are overflowing with wounded persons, and the nicelical aid available is quite inadequate. The shops are closed and business and traffic is suspended. The streets' are occupied by troops. Many residents are leaving Odessa. A state of siege has been declared in the city. Mobilizing it Night. St. Petersburg (P,y Cable). All the liquor shops are closed during the mo bilization, which continues mostly at night. The men will he taken out of St I etersburg within a few days. The temper of the officers of the guard regiments is shown by the fact that since the meeting at Tsarkoe Selo they have been demanding permission to hold another meeting. They insist that they must henceforth be relieved from police duty. Mutineers Give II Lp. Washington, D. C. (Special). Amer ican Consul Meenan at Odessa confirms the surrender of the Russian mutineers in the following dispatch: "Firing soon ceased. Fleet arrived 12 o clock. Kniaz Potemkine surrendered at once without firing a shot." A dispatch received at the State De lArunent overnight from Consul 1 lee nan says in substance: "Six officers of the Potemkine killed, tight liberated, remainder prisoners Harbor largely destroyed by fire. Fifty rioters killed and many Russian steam ers burned." Another dispatch from the same semrce, tuned Odessa 6.11 P. M., says- "Boat firing on town. No fleet." A cablegram also has been received from Ambassador Meyer at St. Peters burg, which says : "Information from Odessa that 5,00 rioters have been killed. The harbor largely destroyed by fire and a' battle ship firing on the town." FINANCIAL Wabash net earnings in May. decreased E. T.

Rogers, of Lecsburg, Va., was found in the Saranac River near the cottage from which she dis appeared a week ago. District Attorney Finn issued an offi cial statement exonerating Willoughby N. Smith from all blame in connection with the death of Miss Rogers. Leesburg, Va. (Special). Mis Mary Rogers, who mysteriously disappeared at Saranac Lake, N. Y., last week, was born in this city about thirty-four years ago. She is the daughter of Alexander Rogers. Her mother, before her mar riage to Mr. Rogers, was Mis Julia Clagctt, of Leesburg. F'or many years Mis Rogers was engaged to marry Wil loughby N. Smith, an attorney of Balti more, but would not consent to the marriage during the lifetime of her mother. On account of Iter mother's age, a large part of the care and man agement of the family estate. Wnoil bum, near here, devolved upon Miss Ropers. After her mother's death, in Febru ary, 1003, the estate was sold and Miss Rogers moved to Leesburg, making her home with her sister, Mrs. R. B. I"ish burn. It was not long after thi, how ever, that Miss Rogers developed tuber culosis, and upon the advice of her phy sician she went to Saranac Lake, ac companied by a trained nurse and Wil loughby X. Smith. She was exception ally popular in this community. At no time while in Leesburg did she appear to suffer from melancholia or any other disease of the mind. Mis Rogers was not a person of great wealth, as has been generally reported, though she had independent means. The bulk of her property came from a legacy of $10,000 in life insurance left by her brother, Odin Rogers, who died in wot. It is believed here that she invested this sum 011 the advice of Smith, but it is not thought that she suffered financial losses or that they contributed to the cauc of her melancholia.

Before he left Washington for his summer so journ at Oyster Bay the President is said to have given out some "tips" as to Cabinet changes contemplated. It is reported that George B. Cortel you, the Postmaster-General, will be the next Secretary of the Treasury. It is the President's purpose now to make this transfer early in the winter. This will necessitate, of course, the appoint ment of a new Postmaster-General. Un less the President has reason 10 change his mind, Mr. Charles J. Bonaparte, of Maryland, recently selected for Secre tary of the Navy, will succeed Attorney General Moody when the latter retires a year hence. Secretary Hay is very solcitous of his own health, and the fear in the While House circle is that he will soon go into retirement. The President has thought of asking Elihu Root, former Secretary of War, to return to the Cabi net as Secretary of Slate, but from what was learned Thursday he has about concluded not to do so. The President, therefore, is turning to his remarkably versatile Secretary of War, and the in dications arc now that Mr. Taft will be the next Secretary of State. litndtrsoi Piralyitd. Dubuque, la.

Through tht Eicnaog of Notts Oermiiy Hat Beta Advised ol tht Aorlo-Frtaca aod Anglo-Spanish Uadtrstaadlog Affect ing Morocco Suspicions Both Sides Havt Btto Rtrnovtd. Paris (By Cable). The Franco German complications have been so far overcome that a complete agreement is considered only a matter of time. The improvement in the situation was fur ther manifested in official and diplo matic quarters, and the Bourse again showed a marked advance in rentes and a general firmness throughout. The nervous public sentiment has entirely disappeared and there is no further talk of the possibility of a rupture with Ger many. The gflicials say that the negotiations now are largely a question of formali ties and the framing of an understand ing within the limits of the two notes and the attendant conversations already exchanged, Therefore, it is not likely that France will send another note, as her position was fully defined in the first communi cation to which Germany has fully re plied. The tone of these notes clearly indicates that the final understanding will be on the basis of holding a con ference. The officials call attention to the fact that Premier Rouvier's first note did not decline a conference, but on the con trary accepted it in principle, seeking .only to have its limits defined. While Germany has not been disposed to de fine the limits yet, verbal exchanges have entirely removed the apprehensions which officials previously entertained concerning ulterior designs behind the conference. Thus the sharp diplomatic controversy has had the effect of producing a better general state of feeling between France and Germany, as the preceding relations had been more or less a matter of sus picion on both sides for the past two year-. It is considered a notable gain for France that during the negotiations Germany has been fully advised con cerning the Anglo-French and Anglo Spanish understanding affecting Moroc co and had not directly dissented there from, although contending that they do not affect her position. While not acquiscing in them, she has not openly brought them into question. This is regarded as materially strength ening the French position. The German officials say an accord has practically been completed, as there only remains to decide, the wording and go through the protocolar formalities. Not Worth Fighting Over. Berlin (By Cable), The calm tone tiie- French press has assumed since the reception of Chancellor von Buclow's answer has made an excellent impres sion on the German press, since it co incides with the view, maintained here that Morocco is not important enough to furnish occasion for warlike designs on the part of two great powers which otherwise are peaceably disposed.

R. will celebrate the Fourth of July by holding a memorial meeting in their Memorial Continental Hall GREAT LOSSES FEARED. Rumors That dentril Karopatkla Hat) Beet Killed. Record of tht War. The Japanese final roundup of , the Russians in Manchuria is de veloping rapidly. General Kasewaga, with a force of 100,000 men, is march ing on Vladivostock, and its iso lation now seems assured. Unconfirmed rumors were cir culated in St. Petersburg late last night that General Kurop atkin had been killed or cap tured, and that General Nogi's army had cut off 70,000 Rus sians. China has asked to be allowed a voice in the peace negotiations. There are indications that General Linevitch's retreat to Harbin is about to begin'. His van posts, under pressure, arc re tiring fighting. The fact that Marshall Oya ma is able to put so large an army on the road to Vladivostok and coo Unite his advance in force in Manchuria causes a hopeless feeling in Russian offi cial circles. St. Petersburg (By Cable). A rumor spread throughout the city that Gen eral Kuropatkin had been killed. This rumor was connected sometimes with a report that 70,000 Russians had been cut off by General Nogi's army and that Kuropatkin had been taken prisoner. Nothing confirmatory of these rumors has been received either by the general staff or in press dispatches. A report received frejm General Line vitch indicates that the Japanese ad vance continues steadily, and that the Russian van posts, under pressure, are retiring fighting. Japanese Advance 00 Vladivostok. St. Petersburg (By Cable). Advices have reached the general staff of the withdrawal from Vladivostok of three j regiments of tirailleours and cavalry I and artillery to the number of 12,000 men. 1 his is part of a rearward con centratiem nee-essitated by the- advance of General Kasewaga's sixth Japanese army across Korea from the Tumcn River. General Kasewaga's force has devel oped unexpected strength, numbering over 100.000 men, although the vanguard numbers only 5.000. The knowledge that the enemy is so strong in the secondary seat of war has spread a hopeless feel ing among the staff in regard to com ing operations. It is convinced now that Field Marshal Oyama has a greater preponderance over General Linevitch . than he ever had over General Kurop atkin. An intelligence officer remarked that the Japanese had hitherto adhered to the principle of concentrating all their force on the main points, disregarding the possibilities of secondary expeditions like Saghalien or Kamschatka. The most serious feature of the present situation is that the Japanese arc able to spare General Kasewaga's powerful army from the chief scat of war in Manchuria. The military critic of the Russki Vie domosti urges Russia to seek an early peace. He says that maintaining a de fensive war on the Russian frontier would be a hopeless expedient, yet such a war is being widely urged by influen tial representatives of the ruling bureau cracy. Such tactics of exhaustion could only be effective if Russia's means were limitless and Japan were unable to trans fer the- war to Russian territory. Such conditions are emphatically wanting. General Linevitch telegraphs: "The enemy's outposts on our south front resumed offensive operations June 24 and dislodged enir troops, forcing; them northward. Our cavalry outposts at Hailungchen were dislodged on the same day. We dispatched a force of volunteer chasseurs, who were met with an artillery fire by the enemy. Japanese infantry were visible in the mountains. The enemy resumed the offensive in Ko'ren June 2i and attacked our ad vance guards, consisting of some sotnias of cavalry, who retired after a skirmish. COST OF BIG WRECK.
