Japan Losing China's Friendship.TIENTSIN, Aug. 16.

—The reported

violation by Japan of the neutralityof China in the capture ofr the Rus-sian torpedo-boat destroyer Ryeshitel-ni at Chefu has resulted in alienatingto a great extent the sympathy of Chi-nese officials for Japan. This applieseven to officials connected with thepro-Japanese party.

Belated reports from various vesselscontinue to reach Admiral Togo. TheJapanese destroyers and torpedo boatsmade a series of attacks during thepursuit of the Russian warships. Onedestroyer reports that she hit a vesselof the Pallada type and it is believedthe vessel foundered and that the en-tire erfw were either killed or drowned.

Admiral Togo, in reporting to the ad-miralty, says It appears certain thatthe Pallada was sunk. Itwas believedat first that the Pallada escaped south-ward with the Novik and Askold, theadmiralty believing she was concealedin«thje yiclnitv of the Yangtse river.

.Whatever her fate, it soon will bedetermined. If she is afloat she willspeedily be' reported and if destroyedit Is probable that some of her wreck-age will be found.

LONDON, Aug. 16.—

What. Is con-sidered in Government circles here tobe not the least important feature ofthe British note delivered to Russiato-day is that dealing with the ques-tion of contraband. Great Britain re-iterates the suggestion that the regu-lations issued by the Emperor defin-ing the rights of Russian warships to-ward neutral vessels carrying allegedcontraband should be modified andparticularly urges a revision of the listof articles declared contraband. Be-cause of her dependence on foreigncountries for food Great Britain madean especially strong objection to theinclusion of rice and foodstuffs gen-erally.

During the exchanges of communi-cations it has been the contention ofRussia that in her regulations suchfoodstuffs only become contraband if"intended for war purposes or if sentat an enemy's cost or order." Rus-sia further points out that this isalong lines laid .down by the UnitedStates in the case of the steamshipMashona, at the time of the Boer war.

The officials of the Foreign Officeare reticent as to the length to whichthe Government has gone In respectto the status of foodstuffs in time ofwar, but it is said in a reliable quar-ter that the British note advances be-yond the position laid down in theMashona case and that all foodstuffsare now practically declared, in theBritish view, to be not liable to seiz-ure. If this statement proves correctContinental diplomats say the declara-tion willmeet with a cold reception onthe Continent.

During the trial a crowd of Jewsnumbering several thousand rushedinto the courtroom and. despite the ef-forts < of the officers to protect her,prized the girland carried her off. They

also wrecked the building where thetrial was held. The grirl was locked upin a brewery, from which she was. sub-sequently liberated l>y a crowd ofChristians and sent back to Lublin.

The girldeclares that she saw a close-lyfhuttered room in the brewery, wheren!<i men had assembled in rabbis' dressready to try her, and she begged her

.captors not to torture, but to kill her.The wounded in the disturbance In-

cluded twenty-nine Jews, but the mu-nicipal surgeon declares that none were<3angerou?ly wounded. The Christiansdid n«t report their Injuries, fearingprosecution.

The public prosecutor summoned tenJews, of whom two escaped.

CANADA MAKES COMPLAINTABOUT INSULT TO FLAG*

OTTAWA, Ontario. Aug. 16.—TheCanadian Government has lodged &formal complaint with the British au-thorities regarding the Indignity of-fered to the flag of the Dominion bya British consular officer in a SouthAmerican port a.few_weeks-agd.. .Theflag was torn' and trampled on andthe Consul said he knew nothing of aCanadian flag.

Deserters from the Hereros reportedthat the arrival of German reinforce-ments at Swakopmund caused great de-pression in the native camp. Chief Sam-uel spent much time in having theBible read to him.

General von Trotha doubtless willfol-low up his success and finish the re-bellion with the Waterberg campaign.It seems improbable that many of

the natives can have escaped throughthe German forces holding the moun-tain pawes.

In a skirmish preceding the battle apatrol commanded by Lieutenant Baronvon Bodenhausen was surprised andtho lieutenant and eight men werekilled. :.. .

Five German officers, including Countvon Arnim. and nineteen men werekilled. Six officers, among them Baronvon "Watter, and fifty-two men werewounded. Two are missing.

The natives, who numbered about6000 fighting men. under old Chief Sam-uel Maherero, to whom the youngerleaders had turned after their formerreverses, were concentrated in theWaterberg Mountains. With theirwomen, children and flocks, they occu-pied a plain or meadowland roughlyestimated at 650.000 acres, on whichthey had 5000 head of cattle and 50,000sheep, goats, etc. The approaches tothe plain were difficult passes, so thatthe Germans had severe work forcingthem. The number of the Germans isnot accurately known, but as nine com-panies and four and a half batteries,

with some irregular troops, were en-gaged, the total probably was about2000 men.

BERLIN, Aug. 16.—Four columns ofGerman troops attacked the Hererosnear Hamakari, German Southwest Af-rica, on the night of August 11. Thefighting continued all day August 12.The natives were defeated with heavylosses.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 17.—

Pub-lic anxiety, regarding the fate of theships of Rear Admiral Withoeffssquadron remaining unaccounted foris still unrelieved. St. Petersburg con-tinues to be entirely .dependent- uponforeign sources for. news, the Russianauthorities "claiming to be quite asmuch in the dark aa the public. TheAdmiralty neither confirms nor de-nies the report that a majority of thesquadron returned to Port Arthur, al-though it does not fail to point outthat only the most desperate situationafter the. sea fight could have com-pelled the vessels to return for refugeto that-port.

Nothing has been received fromRussian sources regarding the reportfrom Chefu of a sortie of the PortArthur warships to-day. The reportmay refer to the cruiser Bayan andthe. pun boats and torpedo-boat de-stroyers left in the harbor and one ortwo of Admiral Withoeffs ships whichvere forced to limp back to the portafter the fight of August 10.

The report of the sinking of thecruiser Rurik is accepted as true inofficial circles and the public had beenprepared for a definite announcementby the publication this afternoon of areport thai she had been grievouslydf.maged. The authorities, out of con-sideration for the families of the of-ficers and sailors, decided to withholdan official announcement until theyhave received an official report uponthe return of the cruisers Rossia andand Gromoboi to Vladivostok.

"When a man begins to grow old heusually begins to feel sick inmany ways.Old people soem to expect this. Idon'tbelieve the Almighty intended that theold should be sick. Iwas sick withrheumatism, pain in back, hips and legs,stiff knees and ankl* joints

—Icould not

eat. Iwas weak. My bladder was Irri-table. Ihad to get up often at night Ithought these troubles were the penaltyof getting old. because Ihad taken muchmedical treatment without benefit. Ibe-came so miserable, however, that Ide-cided as a last resort to try the Electro-Chemlc treatment

—so. on Feb. 21. 1903.

Iwent to the Electro-Chemlc Institute.US Grant avenue, San Francisco, forconsultation and examination.

Everything was so satisfactory, nocharge for examination, a free loan ofthe wonderful Electro-Chemic apparatusfor home treatment, a small charge fortreatment, and in three months* time Iwas perfectly cured, and Idid not havoto remain in the city at all. as my treat-ment was all done by the home method.Iam glad Iwent for the first examina-tion, for that was Just the thing and Itshowed at once what was the matterwith me. and after that my cure wascomparatively easy. Ican truthfullysay that Ifeel twenty years youngersince taking the Electro-Chemlc course.My pains are all gone. Ican eat like ahorse and digest everything Ieat. and Ifeel pretty strong for a man that is get-ting way long in years.

My name is R. B. Cutting and T llv<*at Santa Cruz. Cal. Iam an old pioneerand Iwant to recommend the Electro-Chemic treatment to all sufferers andespecially to the old folks who are mis-erable and sick. Medicines do no good insuch cases, whilst Electro-Chemistrysurely puts new blood and new life intoboth men and women who are wearing
