Japan Wishes Only to Drive the]
Enemy From Far East.
A dispatch to the London Express
from Nagasaki claims that an emi-
nent Japanese statesman confided to
the correspondent at Tokio an im-
portant statement, of which the fol-
lowing is the gist:
Japan does not intend to push the
war to the bitter end. She does not
wish to humble Russia, but she is re-
solved to ‘accomplish the removal of
the mer.ace “of Russia's power in the
Far East and is confident that she will
accomplish this. She will destroy as
many Russian warships as possible
and capture the remainder. She will
then take Port Arthur and Vladivos-
tok and make her positicn in Korea
so impregnable that Russia cannot
po ly gain a foothold there.
When all this is accomplished she
will offer terms of peace, having at-
tained the objects for which she went
to war, but until this is accomplished
she will not listen to any proposal ex-
cept an unconditional acceptance of
her terms.

near the Korean side and drew the

was a sharp fusilade at close range
The pc on of the boats was highly
critical, owing to the appearance of a
number of light barges filled with
Japanese coming out from a small
tributary stream called the Pomakua,
which is unmarked even on the maps
of the Russian general staff.
The intention of the barges was to
cut off the retreat of the Russians.
This was noticed from the other bank,
two miles distant, and a couple of
field guns opened fire. A lucky shot
sank one of the barges and the others
withdrew. The Japanese casualties
are not known.

Popular Society Leader Masks Him-

At San Jose, Cal, a masked robber
entered the Delmonte Club on First
street, near Santa Clara, shortly and
held up half a dozen men who were in
the lounging room. The bandit lined
up his victims against the wall, and
after taking a $900 ring from William
George robbed the till of $500.
The robber was armed with two re-
volvers. The mask was a red bandana
handkerchief. As he left the building,
backing out with pistols leveled, the
proprietor hurried after him and fired
several shots.

despite the opinion expressed at the

MARTIAL LAW RULES GARRETT.
Injured but No One Was
Killed.
Terror reigns in the Meyersdale coal
region. The greatest trouble is cen-
tered at Garrett. Dynamite, the torch,
guns in the hands of striking coal
miners, foreigners, who have taken
their places, deputies employed by the
coal company and citizens who side
with either warring faction, have been
factors in the clashes and riots which
have taken place and grown in vio-
lence since Friday.
The situation culminated Monday
night in a pitched battle between
stockaded workmen and the operators’
| deputies on one side of Buffalo creek
when the hearings in the case of Sen-|
N. |
and striking miners and their sympa-
thizers on the other. This resulted in"
over 1,000 shots being exchanged.
No deaths, but many injuries resulted.
At 4 o'clock this morning the house of
Jerry Myers was burned to the ground,
and six members of his family were
cremated. Two men are under arrest
for the alleged arson and murder.
Garrett is 'a town of 1,000 popu-
lation. It is an old town, but it is only
within the last three years that im-
dustrial activity kas broadened its
municipal importance. There are now
operated here five coal mines. One
is owned by the Garrett Coal Com-
pany of Meyersdale, of which F. B.
Black is superintendent. The Somer-
set Coal Company has two mines and
the Coal Company two.
About 600 men are employed when the
are running full. In the same
are 15 mines at Meyersdale and
s at Berlin and Boswell.

FIRE IN TORONTO.
Canadian City Suffers a Loss Estimat-
ed at $10,000,000.
Toronto, Ont., was threatened with
complete destruction by a confiagra-
tion, which, for 10 hecurs, baffled all
efforts of the fire department.
The fire started at 9 o'clock Tuesday
night, and it was not until shortly
before 3 o’clock next morning that
the fire fighters had it under control.
The flames swept through the business
district, and laid waste more than 150
buildings. The property loss is va-
riously estimated at frem $10,000,000
to $15,000,000.
High winds fanned the flames with
fearful intensity, and the local fire
department was unable to cope with
the fire. Help from nearby cities was
asked for. Montreal and Buffalo sent
fire engines and men,
