Made in the Dispatches?

Pass Captured?Trouble Still Spreading
in Russia.
St. Petersburg, Russia. ? With the
Japanese hanging on the heels and
flanks of the remnants of the broken,
defeated Russian army. General Kuropatkin,
the old idol of the private soldier,
has been dismissed and disgraced
and General Linevitch, commander of
| the First Army, has been appointed to
1 succeed him in command of all the
Russian land and sea forces operating
against Japan. The word "disgrace"
is written in large letters in the laconic
imperial order gazetted, which con
tains not a single word of praise and
also disposes of the rumor that Kuropatkin
had asked to be relieved.
The Russian military annals contain
no more bitter imperial rebuke. While
it was known that the war council had
already decided to supplant Kuropatkin
after the Mukden disaster, the decision
to confer the task of saving the
remainder of the army on Linevitch in
the very midst of its flight came as a
' surprise. It transpires that Emperor
[ Nicholas upon the advice of General
Dragomiroff and War Minister Sakharoff
determined that the step was necessary
when it became apparent that
Kuropatkin, while concentrating for a
stand at Tie Pass, seemed unaware
that the Japanese had worked around
westward again and practically allowed
himself to be surprised. Old reporfe
brought by General Gripenberg
regarding Kuropatkin's failing mentality;lalso
had influence.
A dispatch from Chang-tu-fu reports
that General Kuropatkin has left there
for St. Petersburg.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
it was considered imperative, in view
of the exceedingly perilous position of
the army, to turn over its command to
1 Linevitch, who alone had been able to
bring off his army in order after the
battle of Mukden. His record during
the Chinese war had also demonstrated
his capacity as a commander.
The task confided to Linevitch of
withdrawing what is left of the great
army of 350,000 men to Harbin seemed
a desperate one.
General Linevitch is in his sixtysixth
year. He saw his first fighting
when he was twenty-one years old,
took part in the war with Turkey in
1877, and was in command of the Russian
troops in the relief of the legation
at Pekin in 1900. For his services in
China he was congratulated by the
Czar.
With the Japanese Left Armies.?
The pursuing armies fully occupied Tie
Pass at midnight, after a severe fight,
the Russians retiring north in confusion
after setting fire to the railroad
station and supplies.
The successful conclusion of the armies'
mission makes the movement the
greatest of' modern history. The armies
covered almost ninety miles in a
fortnight, fighting practically every
inch of the way.

Home Troubles Spread. '
Warsaw.?Reports of the spread of
the peasant agitation are coming from
nearly every part of the country. In
the Government of Pukov bands, ranging
from 100 to 500, are marching from
village to village and inciting laborers
to join in the movement.
A dispatch received here from Lodz
says that owing to rumors of an approaching
mobilization the workers in
the woolen mills there have struck.
The Seventy-fifth Brigade of Artillery
has been withdrawn from Lodz, and
will be dispatched to Manchuria. It
will be replaced by artillery reserves
from Nljni Novgorod.
The Government has requisitioned
all the horses in this district. The
workmen in the big factories here
threaten to strike, and some of the
men in the smaller factories have already
walked out.

Fartly Demolished.
Carelessly Controlled Dynamiting Cau?e?
Havoc-No People Killed
or Injured.
New York City.?Big boulders, burled j
by the force of dynamite, crashed |
1 against the rear walls of three flat
houses in Lexington avenue, near 101st
street, and smashed them in from the
foundation to the second floors. The
living rooms of the occupants were exposed
to view, and there were many
narrow escapes from death.
The entire neighborhood was thrown
into panic. In the bombarded houses
women and children ran to the front
windows, screaming for help. Into one
of the rear rooms a rock weighing |
about 400 pounds was hurled with ter- ,
rifle force, fell on a dining room table,
smashed it into kindling wood, crashed
through the second floor to the flrst and 1
wrecked the furniture there. 1
A stove was demolished and started .
a blaze, which was put out quickly.
Jagged rocks weighing from fifty to ,
100 pounds crashed into other rooms. .
For all this wrecking, it is said, a con- j
tractor, biasing out rock in a lot at the ^
rear of the houses, was responsible.
Frederick Lamura had been blasting |
for four weeks, and protests had been
made against the way he was doing
the work, for fragments of stone had ,
broken windows. Still, it is said, he- J
took no precautions to prevent such an 1
accident as that which happened. It is ;
supposed he expected to make short ,
work of what remained of the giant ^
boulder, and put a heavy charge of dy- t
n.imito intr? n driller! hole.
The heavy charge was exploded and
the earth seemed to rise up all around.
Two blocks away two members of Senator
Frawley's Miami Club were
thrown from their seats in the clubhouse.
The force of the concussion
close to the rock was terrific. Bigsec- g
tions of the rock torn away by" the a
blast shot straight at the rear walls of a
Nos. 1593, 1595 and 1597 Lexington avenue.
Like eggshells the walls gave g
way before the fearful force of the t
missiles. Not a brick stood in position .
from the foundation to the window ' |
ledges of the second floors of the three t
houses. The sound of crashing glass ^
echoed through the district for several f
minutes after the roar of the explosion f
had ceased. t
The biggest rock landed in Edward .j
J. CabiU's home, in No. 1593. His wife
and children were out. Cahill had t
just left the rear bedroom when'the j
400-pound stone tore its way through q
the wall and wrecked everything in the j
place. On the same floor lived Julius j
Neiburg and his family. Luckily all a
were out. Every bit of furniture in 0
the rear rooms was crushed. The big c
stone kept on into the apartment of t

the floor. t(
Mrs. Daniel Reardon, on the second r
floor of No. 1595, had just called her D
husband and children from the front j,
room to dinner. A stone weighing 100 ^
pounds flew into the dining room and s
smashed a sideboard and dining table a
to fragments. r
After the hubbub ended it was seen
the walls gave signs of collapsing. An p
emergency force was sent by the Build- c
ing Department to shore them up. La- j,
raura tried to escape, but was caught p
by an angry crowd. He would hare
been beaten only for the police. He v
was locked up, -charged with criminal e
negligence. , q
The scene alter the blast looked as s
if that section of Harlem had. been un- r
der bombardment by a hostile army. n
Windows were broken for at least a a
block in every direction. c

persons lost their lives and many more

were recovered, many so terribly
burned as to be unrecognizable. A

Over fifty are known to be dead, less
than a score of these having been identified,
while over two score were resorted
among the missing.
David Rockwell, the engineer who

died from his injurieF He
aad been detained by the police pend
ng an investigation of the accident.
The explosion took place within an
iour after the GUI') or more employes
it the factory had begun work. It
ivrecked a section of the building and
started a fire which destroyed the
uins and spread to other buildings
lear by with great swiftness. It was
eported that upwards of 200 persons
;vere at work in the departments near
:he boiler room, and the first indicaions
were hrrdly one coulj have es:aped.
The factory,' a large four-story woodm
structure, was in ashes within aD
ieur. The flaEies extended to several
Iwelling houses near by. and to the
)ahlburg Block, across the street from
he factory. These also were conumed
and other property was damiged.
The money loss is estimated
it $200,000. .
Two houses were wrecked as the re(ult
of the explosion. The boiler was
hrown in a northerly direction, and
mssed through the upper part of the
louse occupied by David Rockwell,
he engineer, practically wrecking the
twelling, and, continuing its flight,
ell upon another dwelling, 1C0 feet
urther away, demolishing the strucure.
This house wa3 owned by Mrs.
Sffie Hood.
The Grover faetorv was located at
he corner of Main and Calmar streets,
n the southern outskirts of this city,
.'he building extended 100 feet along
Iain street and 200 feet to the rear,
n the rear of the main building was
n L section, and it was in this part
f the plant that the explosion and
ollapse occurred. The boiler was on
he ground floor.
The first knowledge of tire disaster
o outsiders w.is the roar from the diection
of the factory. People living
ear by looked out, to see a dense pilir
of smoke rising from the top of the
uilding. A moment afterward flames
tarted out from the mass of wreckage
nd quickly crept up and around the
est of the wooden structure, spreadngT
with great rapidity. Most of the
ersons in this part of iue factory esaped.
although many were, injured
a the panic which followed the exloskm.
When the employes who were at
rork in the main section of the plant
scaped from the building, they circled
uickly around to where the exploion
occurred, and there succeeded in
escuing many persons from' undereath
wreckage who. without assistnce,
would have been unable to get
lear of the heavy timbers, and who
rould undoubtedly have perished
rben the flames r.wept across that
art of the plant.

aturated with oil. The flames exended
to the Dahlburg Block, a fourtory
wooden building on the oppoite
corner of the street, and to a numer

The Brockton Hospital was notified

HUNDREDS MASSACRED
Men, Wom9n and Children Slaughtered
at Baku.
Corftackt Aided the Tartar*?Victim* Shot,
Stabbed and Barned to DeaCfi?
Armenians Unarmed.
Vienna. Austria.?Full reports of the
Baku atrocities are published here.
The massacres of Kishineff and Gomel
were child's play in comparison. Over
1000 Christians, men, women and children.
were slaughtered within three
days by Mohammedans, amid scenes
defying description.
The victims were shot, stabbed or
burned to death, their eyes gouged out
and otherwise mutilated. All this happened
in the presence of the police
force, a regiment of infantry and several
squadrons of Cossacks and the
Governor. Prince Nakashidse, who
were unmoved onlookers for three
days. The officers and troops amused
themselves while the slaughtering was
going on.
The whole was arranged by the Government
to prevent the political manifestations
threatened by the Christian
Armenian population. The Mohammedaris,
who are called in those parts Tartars,
were supplied by the Government
with revolvers and ammunition and
given a free hand.
At rue House or miaoeK i^aiayea up- :
ward of forty persons were burned to I
death, those trying to escape the
flames being instantly killed, soldiers
and officers coolly looking on. Lalayeff. |
with his old wife and nephew, .escaped
to tiie cellar, but were found and cruelly
tortured, their eyes being pierced.
The military interfered only when
resistance was offered by the Christians,
and then the Cossacks helped the
Mohammedans to beat the Christians.
The wells are still full of corpses.
Reuter quotes the Petersburgkiya
Viedomosti for the following account i
of the massacre at Baku: From 6
o'clock in the morning of February 20
and from noon on February 22 a massacre
without precedent and quite unexpected
took place in the streets and
public squares at Baku. The Tartar inhabitants,
armed to the teeth, attacked
the Armenians, who were unarmed
and defenseless, and pitilessly massacred
them, without distinction of rank,
position, age or sex. The panic was
general. All the shops and places of
business were at once closed, but the
owners.of thom were shot down.
A sort of torpor, which it is impossible
to describe, seemed at first to have
taken possession of everybody. There
aifpeared to be nobody to take the defense
of the unfortunate people. The
soldiers did not attempt to disarm the
fanatical murderers, who hunted men
like wild beasts,, killing them by hundreds..
It was in vain: that the defenseless
inhabitants implored the Governor
by telephone to send help.. The reply !
J.U~ "V/*. oL-o . I
WU5> UAYVUJ3 I IXC 9UUiC,. i.iv
no guard." It was equivalent to the
verdict:: "Die. since- thou art taken."
The bodies- of men,, -women and children
and horses- were' lying in the
streets- and squares by dozens, by hundreds.
There*was- no roe* to take them
away.':
The authorities remained inactive.
Blood flowed in streams,, and everywhere
the criminal apathy of the authorities
-was the subject of universal
indignation. The massacre lasted almost
three days.
Toward noon on February 19 a Tartar
entered an Armenian church and began
to fire- on an Armenian soldier.
The police officer who was present arrested
him, but aiterward set him at
liberty without disarming him. and
shouted to- the crowd: "Kill him,, or he
will kill you all.."' En saving himself
the criminal fired on the crowd., one of
whom ran after him and tilled him.
I This seems to have ben the signal. In
1 all no fewer than; 10,00). cartridges
I were expended.
The Armenians were no'; armed, and
any of the young people from Balaki
hany and the Black Town (engaged in
the exploitation of naphth.. and in factories)
who> had; r>* lvers were disarmed
by the guard.} posted cn the road
from Balakhany aud tae- Black Town
or -were' not permitted to> enter the
town. In a word, the unfortunate Ar!
me;..ans were left tovtheir fate. Peace
was only restored on the third day toward
noon.
For- the most part Armenians were
killed,, but the stray bullets struck Russians,
Georgians and Jews Indiscriminately..
A telegram from- Erivan (Transcaucasia)'
says an affray took place between
Mohammedans and Armenians
there. Some persons were killed.

Our Minister Presents Ultimalun

Condition of Natives.
Washington, D. O.?Iu calling upoi
President Castro for an answer to hi
proposition to submit to arbitration th<
issues between the United States an!
Venezuela, Minister Bowen was actin;
in accordance with specific instruction:
from the State Department, whicl
have recently been placed in his hands
Mr. Bowen made a proposition o
this kind to the Venezuelan ForeigJ
Office several months ago, and then
was an exchange of notes on the sub
ject, but its further consideration wa:
cut off by the abrupt departure fron
the capital of President Castro, at j
moment when his own decision wa:
required.
The Venezuelan Government at tha
stage had made a counter propositioi
to Mr. Bowen looking to the arbitra
tion of the dispute by The Hague Tri
bunal, but with the important qualifl
cation that the tribunal should arbi
trate as a preliminary the questioi
whether or not the United States Gov
eminent had the right under interna
tional law to intervene at all betweei
the Venezuelan Government and Amer
ican. concessionaires for the latter':
protection.
This was construed here as an at
tempt to bring into play the old Caiv(
doctrine, which the United States has
resolutely and repeatedly refused t(
accept in its negotiations with the
southern republics.
Mr. Bowen reported to the State De
panment the fact of President Cas
tro'a departure, and asked for instruc
tionfr. These were prepared with greal
care and after Attorney-GeneraLMoodj
had, upon a call from the President
furnished an opinion to tfye effect thai
the proceedings in the Venezuelar
courts involving the asphalt com
pany's properties were so irregular as
to amount practically to a denial o1
justice. Therefore Mr. Bowen wa? toic
to renew Ms proposition for a free ar
bitration of the issues between Vene^
zueiu and the United States at the first
opportune moment, and this,, it ap>

Besides- the New York and' Berimr
dez asphalt ease there are three othei
matters- which are suggested as propei
subjects for arbitration; namely, the
Critchneld claim, also based on an as
phalt concession; the claim of the Orinoco
Steam Navigation Company
based on: a violated franchise, and. tht
claim of the newspaper eorrespondieni
Jaurett for damages arising from his
summary expulsion from Venezuela.
The reported arrangement wherebj
iVusident Castro has agreed to- set
apart fifty pec cent, of all the Veneznelar.
customs receipts outside the ports
of'La Gu'ayra and Porto Cabello to sat
isfy British- and! German bondholders
will, it consummated, it is feared,
make it impossible to secure a single
cent from Venezuela for the paymenl
of any just American claims, for there
will be jno surplus, the remaining fiftj
per cent, of the revenues beiug. required
for the support of the Venezne
Ian Government.
Mr. Bowen's arbitration proposition
is notv it is said here, dependent in- any
way upon the future proceedings ii
the Venezuelan-, courts relative to> the
asphalt case, and'it is believed'that he
has moved quickiy in order to forestall
a ratification, of the foreign bond agree
raent and to conserve the rights of the
American claimants.
Reports have- been arriving here for
some time that many of the people oi
Venezuela are penniless and in need of
food. One foreign diplomat there recently
reported that conditions were
indescribable., and that the strict censorship-on
everything sent out prevented
the world from knowing the actua!
condition of affairs. All foreigners
were closely watched. !
