BLOW TO RUSSIAN SHIPS FELT IN ST. PETERSBURG. IS ST. PETERSBURG, August p. m.

The gladness of the people at the announcement of the birth of the feetr apparent could not be fully shaken at Peterhof. The Emperor this morning received a telegram announcing the death of Rear Admiral Withoeft as already cabled to the Associated Press, Ieavirrg no doubt of the severe character of the reverse sustained by the Port Arthur squadron. The contents of the telegram were telephoned to the admiralty and became quickly known throughout the city. The return of the Russian warships to Port Arthur has not softened the blow. On the contrary, it is felt that their retreat towards the beleaguered fortress is based upon hopes of a juncture with the Vladivostok squadron.

A naval man believes, however, that the Japanese are badly battered and that Admiral Togo will not be in a position to follow up his success. The Associated Press is able on the highest authority to deny the report that Argentine warships have been purchased by Russia and that they have joined the Vladivostok squadron. The admiralty strongly repudiates the allegation that the battleship Czarevitch is being repaired with German assistance. No such breach of neutrality Is possible. The Japanese, it is stated at the admiralty, hope to offset this report against their own flagarnt violation of neutrality in the attack on and capture of the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Ryeshitelni at Che Foo.

AT NEW YORK, August 13. Women and children today joined In the demonstration against non-union men who have taken the places of striking butchers and other employes in the packing houses. From upper windows and roofs of buildings in the affected district they hurled missiles of all sorts at every luckless meat truck driver or beef carrier that passed along the street. The force of police assigned to the packing house district was largely increased today. QUEER OLD WOMAN TAKEN TO PRISON.

Queer and old, Jane Kirkland, who with her husband, were recently dislodged after considerable difficulty from an unoccupied house at 1424 San Pablo avenue was placed in the insane Ward of the Receiving Hospital Saturday upon the complaint of Charles Conlon of 1864 West street, whoclaims that she chased his children with a butcher knife last night and appears, in and around a tent the couple now occupy, in a nude condition. It is believed that the husband has been traveling around and living in this way in order to shield the woman, but that his secret has finally been discovered. The woman claims that she had the butcher knife for the purpose of cutting grass for the horse but the children assert that she flourished the knife at them and threatened to cut off their heads. Since they were ejected from the house which, they occupied for several weeks unknown to the owner, they have erected a small tent upon a vacant lot In West Oakland and children at play were attracted by the queer couple and this excited the enmity of the old woman. Conlon believes she is dangerous to be at large and that there will be little difficulty in proving her a lunatic.

1 p. m. The Emperor, through Field Marshal Tama-gata, chief of the general staff, has directed Field Marshal Oyaaia, commander of the Japanese armies In the field, to permit the women, children, merchants and diplomat and the officers of neutral powers to leave Port Arthur and to extend to them shelter at Port Dalny.

I have personally satisfied myself of a most, foul and ob- T1f virtue nAftr in enm a crt ei a a number of my nursesT Now 1 can take care of objectional material produced here during the performance of my du ty and calling, but I will not and I can not allow the Pacific Incinerating Company to bring to my home and to my hospital the concentrated filth gathered from the allies and back yards and incubated in closed sheet iron cans, to be opened by the clean and careful attendants upon the sick in th4s Institution, and thus expose not only the well but also the sick to unknown contagion. I have no way to defend myself and those dependant upon my care and watchfulness, because the city's ordinance obliges me to patronize the Pacific Incinerating Company.

I have carefully examined the report of the Health Department of the city of Oakland and found there evidences of the most systematic and satisfactory inspection of ot jer nuisances but fail to notice any report of the Incinerating Plant Inspection nor the inspection of "disinfected" cans. Hoping that the fact brought before you may be able to propose and have nest solicitation and attention, and that ou may be able to propose and have the department execute measures for the better protection of its citizens against any unnecessary danger to health and happiness, I am yours respectfully and fraternally.

1505 Telegraph avenue. LONDON, August 13. The cutting out of the Russian torpedo-boat Ryeshitelni by the Japanese torpedo-boat destroyers at Che Foo has eclipsed for the moment in the public mind the Knight Commander incident. Both, however, are receiving the earnest attention of the Cabinet. Ail the information received at the Japan- ese Legation which, however, it is said, is not official, tends to establish the fact that Japanese torpedo-boat destroyers entered the port for the purpose of ascertaining If the Ryeshitelni wag dismantled, and take part in future operations; that the Japanese boat's crew was attacked by the Russians and that the Japanese replied In self-defense, and that, seeing the Ryeshitelni was able to continue military operations, she was towed out to sea.

This version does not agree with the original reports received by the British Foreign Office, in which the Japanese appear to have been the aggressors. the British Government, the Associ ated Press is informed, has evinced a desire that Japan should do nothing to cast a doubt on the neutrality of China and has expressed confidence that Japan will repair any errors committed by subordinate officials. At the Chinese Legation it was said that no instructions had been received but it was believed that the Japanese Government would not fail to observe nts pledge to respect the neutrality of China and, if necessary, go to the ex- tent of returning the Ryeshitelni to Che Foo. The Legation fears that unless Japan makes reparation, Russia may refuse to observe Chinese neutrality in the future. It is this aspect of the incident which moved the British Government to consult Japan.

It is not believed either in Government or diplomatic circles here that Japan will repeat at Woosung the action taken at Che Foo, but that she will station cruisers outside the port and attack the Russian vessels when they come out. Besides restoring the Ryeshitelni. the Russian Embassy here says Japan will have to apologize to China arid promise to pay an idemnity to the families of the Russian seamen killed in the fighting at Che Foo. DO NOT WANT TO BE DIVORCED. A reconciliation has been arrived at between Caspar and Louisa Wemmer, who were divorced last June and this morning Attorney W.

H. L. Hynes got an order from Judge S. P. Hall setting aside the interlocutory decree as they want again to assume their former relations.

After fighting for nearly three years for the decree, they had it only a few months when they tired of single life and considered they paid too high a price for their freedom. Wemmer began the first suit in 1901 and charged his wife with cruelty. She answered his charges in a cross-complaint alleging worse treatment on his part than she. had accorded him. This suit was afterwards alowed to drop but later he began another and again the wife made the charges and she was granted an interlocutory decree last June.

Now they have no use for it. RUSSIANS SAVED. CHE FOO, August p. m. Launches containing sixty Russian sailors are said to have entered Wei Hal Wei today.

Aug. p. m. The admiralty entertains the hope that some of the battleships after the return to Port Arthur, managed to elude Admiral Togo and join the Vladivostok squadron. It is pointed out that the admiralty now explicitly states that the Russian squadron actually went back to Port Arthur.

The Tokio reports that the Novik coaled at Tsingchou before going out Russian vessels undoubtedly filled their bunkers before leaving Port Arthur the previous day. Captain Moutouzvich's silence regarding the battle is ascribed to the possible refusal of the German authorities to permit him to telegraph any information other than a mere record of his own casualties. The transmission of reports of the battle were considered possible to be a breach of neutrality calculated to help one or the other of the belligerents. Captain Mou-touzvich was slightly wounded. The admiralty has not received further advices at this hour as to the whereabouts of Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky's flagship, the battleship Retvizan.

RIGHT TO HOLD LOST PROPERTY. The trial of L. E. Cole, a gateman of the Southern Pacific Company, charged with theft by the company for not hav- ing turned over two packages found by him in one of the local trains, took place before Justice of the Peace Quinn Saturday afternoon and after all the tsvultnce had been taken Justice Quinn held his decision in the case in reserve until he could look into some authorities. Cole appeared at the trial with State Senator Moorehouso as his attorney and the point was made that the dlfndant had found the packages and that by laws of the State of California he was entitled to hold them against the wo: id until th rightful owner appealed.

it was claimed that the railroad had no right to order Cole to turn over anything he found. The point did not impress Judge Quinn, as he stated that he believed that a corporation had the right to make a rule for the conduct of its employes regarding property found on its trains. However, he was not willing to pass upon the quts-tion off-hand and reserved his judgmtnt until next week. BELIEVES HER HUSBAND DEAD. Application was made to the courts here this afternoon ty Mrs.
