DAILY-87.00 A YEAR LION STILL MAD; TROUBLE MAY COME England Dissatisfied With Russia’s Reply THE NAVY PREPARING Battleships of Great Britain Ready For Service at Notice—Mr. Hardinge Notifies Cza Prime Minister That Bear’s Answer Note is “Entirely Inadequate." nt’s GIBRALTAR, Oct. 266.-—The battle ships Victorious, Illustrious and Ma jestic (flagships of Vice Admiral Ber- esford) and the cruisers Lancaster, Thesus and Endymion are under or ders to sail on the morning of Octo ber 28. tl is reported that the purpose Is to shadow the Russian Baltic squad ron which i» expected to go by way of the Cape of Good Hope. The Russian Baltic squadrons cruisers and torpedo boats are expect cd to pass through the straltB of Gi braltar on the way to Suer. The whole of the Gibraltar torpedo flotilla has been commissioned. The ships of the channel fleet have filled their bunkers with coal and re plenished their ammunition and other stores and will be ready fqr pea at a moments notice. The battleships Han nibal and the cruiser Doris are watch ing the straits closely. There is great activity at the dock yard where men are working night and day. The admiralty is making in quiries concerning the coal available here. liblllty. of course, remains that the information of the Associated Press yesterday afternoon may be correct and that the report is alreadv *n the hands of* the einperor, but if so, delay In emitting it to the admiralty is in explicable, assurances having been ex tended to the British embassy that there should not Lc the ntlghtest ‘de lay In communicating the report when It was received. One danger of complication discussed here lies In the possibility that Great Britain may deenv. it necessary to dec- patch warships to warn and protect British trawelrs ofT the Spanish coast. On the other hand if the nature of Rojestvensky’s report renders the re call of the Baltic squadron Imperative. It will weight greatly In Japan's favor and have a serious bearing on the fu ture course of the war in the Far East. (Continued on Page Eight.)

KILLING AT WINDER. C. D. Burnett Slays Young Daniel, Both Prominent Citizens. ATHENS, Ga., Oct. 26.—Last night at Winder, Ga., C. D. Burnett, a well- known citizen of that place, shot and instantly killed Young Daniel, a prom inent farmer of Oconee county. They were on the front porch of the res idence of T. N. Lester at the time, and had been quarreling about the lines between two pieces of land in Oconee county. Details of the tragedy are hard to get. It is reported that both men had pistols and that BUrnett gdt to his pistol first. On the other hand it is claimed that Daniel was unarmed and that he made no motion to attack Burnett The tragedy is greatly de plored, as both parties were well- known and highly respected. “Entirely inadequate.” LONDON, Oct. 26.— Ambassador Hardinge has sent another note to Foreign Minister Lamsdorff expressing his opinion that the measures reported to have been taken by the Russian ad miralty to communicate with Admlr.il Rojestvensky were entirely Inadequate At the foreign office the fullest con fidence Is expressed in amicable set tlement of the incident. Rojestvensky Talks. VIGO, Spain, Oct. 26.—The Associat ed Press has succeeded In obtaining an interview with Admiral Rojestven- sky, who expressed great regret ove: the North Sea Incident The admiral stated that the unfortunate occurrence was purely' accidental. The weather on the night In question was rather hazy. About 1 a. m. two torpedo boats; which the Russians supposed were Japanese craft, suddenly appeared be tween the two divisions of the squad ron and seemed to discharge torpedoes. The Russians immedately opened fire. They saw no fishermen and were not nwnre that any damage had been done. Evidently, the admiral said, the fish ermen had shown no lights. The ad miral repeated that he greatly regret ted that any injury had been done fish ermen, and added that he had no doubt the Russian government would make compensation. Fire in Memphis MEMPHIS.

ALTMAN TRIAL HAS COMMENCED MUKDEN, Oct. 26.—The situation Is one of great tension for the troops on both aides. General Kuroputkln and Field Marshal Oyama seem to be watching each other like hawks, is impossible to tell which will make the first serious move. There aro oc caslonal exchanges of desultory firing at the outposts but nothing of great Importance * has transpired. On Sun day night the Japanese made a feeble attempt upon Lone Tree Hill but the attack was not pressed. The Rtis aians used several siege guns of great range on Monday, bombarding the Japanese positions near Shakhe. The Japanese replied with Shlmose shells. The Chinese say the Russian fire de stroyed three Japanese field pieces. The Japanese have evacuated Shnk- the railroad station, but it and the railroad bridge between the lines are In the field of fire on both sides. Although It Is reported that there Is no activity on the Russian left flank little Is really known concerning the situation there. A Japanese move ment from the west along tne railroad In reported but this has not been confirmed. The general state of uncertainty breeds many ru mors. On Monday quite a heavy ar tillery fire was heard westward. Case Called Yesterday at Folkston Expected Clash Has Not Occurred. Negro Witnesses for State Are Be ing Guarded By Deputy Sheriffs. Strong Array of Legal Talent En gaged on Both Sides. Newspapors Impatient. LONDON, Oct. 27.—At 3 o’clock this morning there Is no sign as to when Admiral Rojestvensky’* report will bo made public; but if unofficial reports should turn out to reflect the admiral’s official report it is evident the Rus sian officers made an extraordinary blunder In mistaking trawlers for tor pedo boats and firing on their phantom foes. This astonishing explanation Is regarded here ns not fitting ill with the stato of panic suggested as having prevailed among the officers of the Baltic fleet; and In that case. It Is suggested, the Russian government should find no difficulty in removing and punishing the off'cers responsible. The newspapers this morning evince more heat and impatience than here tofore at Russia’s delay, which is con sidered absolutely indefensible in the present circumstances. Baltic Fleet’s Passage. LONDON. Oct 26.—The Associated Press learns that while there is foundation for the rumor which cently emanated from Constantinople that the Russian government is ap proaching the sultan wdth the view of obtaining his censent to the passing of the Black sea fleet through the Dar danelles, Russia '« actually taking steps to sound the other continental governments ns to whether any ob jectfons will be raised by them In the event of a formal request being pre vented by Russia to the powers jointly /or the removal of the International restrictions governing the passage of the Dardanelles. It Is obvious that whatever be the replies of other gov ernments to the Russian inquiries it would not be possible at the present juncture of afTalrs in the Far East for Great Britain to acquiesce In such an arrangement. Japs Attack Expected. MUKDEN. Oct. 26.—The appoint ment of General Kuropatkln ns com- mander-tn-chief was received with universal approval. It will greatly fa cilitate military operations. A Japanese attack is now expected. The Russian Batteries continue to har rasa the Japanese. Otherwise all Is quiet. The Japanese dead recently found showed by their warm clothing that the Japanese are prepared for a win have not received their winter outfit*, exhibition building* nnd through ihq Russia Embarrassed. ST. PETERSBURG,*Oct 27. (2:20 a. tn )—An official of the admiralty srgt ed to the Associated Press at 1*3< o’clock this morning that no word ha< yet been received fro mVice Admiral Rojetvensky. The official continued: “The delay In getting th* Russian version of the North Sea affair Is prov ing exceedingly embarrassing to tnls government. It is felt that in the In flamed state of British public opinion, the Inexplicable absence of any official report Is becoming an already dedicate situation.” While the good faith of the Russian government In Us efforts to probe the affair Is not questioned. It is evident from renewed British Inquiries at the foreign office and admiraHy on Wed nesday that while no time limit for a response to the British nor* hi* bee fixed. King Edward’s government I neither in a humor nor a poeUftHt t brook unreasonable delay. It f* real •red here that each day’s delay w!l render the temper of thd people n l r countries more uncertain. Tn i i»;e ii expre.-*ed at the admiralty tbs report may bo received today. Th WAYCROSS, Ga., Oct. 26.—The trial of Hillary and Charley Altman and Ivey Harvey, charged with the mur der of Jackson Duncan nnd the negro Jim Reilly, commenced in Charlton superior court at Folkston this after noon. The two Altmans are to be tried together for the murder of Duncan. The afternoon was taken up in the hearing of demurrers and the actual testimony will not commence and the Jury will not be drawn until tomorrow. Judge Parker at 4 o’clock granted a continuance until tomorrow morning because of the absence of certain wit nesses for the defense. There Is a strong array of legal talent on both sides of the case. Solicitor Bennett, for the state, is assisted by Messrs. Toomer nnd Reynolds of Waycross, Clarke, Parker and Hemlngs and L. E. Wade of Jacksonville. The attor neys for the defense are Bryan fi Bryan and Walker & Shayler of Jack sonville and J. 8. Williams and A. E. Cochran of Waycross. Beyond the unusually large crowd and occasional signs ol too much whis ky. there wan little Indication of the expected trouble at Folkston. Friends of both the Altmans and Duncans are there In largo numbers. There distinct lino between the two factions and at no time today was there the least sign of the expected row. The greatest apprehension felt by the Dun can faction was the belief that some attempt might be made to drive off the negro witnesses for the state. These witnesses did not remain in Folkston last night but were brought to the Waycross jail. They were car ried to Folkston this morning and were shut up in a small outhouse In Sheriff Mattox’s yard. Three depu ties guarded the negro during the day. Sheriff Mattox last night received every assurance from the Altman fac tion that there would be no trouble. None is looked for, at least not until after the trial Is completed. Many are of the opinion, however, that there is sure to be a row should the Jury re turn a verdict of murder. The grand Jury this morning brought in an Indictment against the Altmans and Harvey of murder in the first degree. The witnesses for the state were brought back to Waycross tonight to prevent any possible outbreak. Some of the Duncans are also spending the night In Wlaycross. Should the Alt mans and Harvey be cleared of the murder In Charlton there are charges against them in Baker county, Flor ida, for the killing of Deputy Sheriff Thrift and the shooting of W. M. and John Duncan at Baxter. It is claimed that they also serious’y wounded Mar aha! Duncan and threw him from the train at the time of the killing of Jackson Duncan and the negro. About twenty of their friends relatives are also Implicated In th Baker county trouble. These men are awaiting trial in the Florida courts and are under bonds of $1,000 to $1,700 Working on Entrenchments. YENTAI COAL MINES, Tuesday, Oct. 25.—(Via Fusan.

From northern to the southern, nnd from eastern to the western bounds of the state mayors were present. By far the greater number of cities, mem bers of the Georgia League of Munici palities, were represented during the exercises of the day.

Ho adds: A desultory artillery fire wns main tained all day long upon the front of our right flank by both the enemy and ourselves. On the night of October 24 Russian volunteer sharpshooters ambushed ad vancing Japanese outposts and forced them to retire southward. Another detachment recovered a Russian gun carriage. •On the Russian center a detach ment drove back the Japanese advance near the village of Yautchal hut upon the appearance of strong Japanese re inforcements the detachment returned to the village of Shakhe after burying the bodies of several Russians killed during previous flghtu and collecting large quantities of aims and ammu nition.” Mall wns taken.

PETERSBURG, Oct. 26, 12:50 p. m.—The quiet now prevailing at the theatre of war Is considered to be only the calm before a storm. There every indication of the imminence of fighting on a large scale, as the prox imity of the two armies make it Im possible for them to much longer defer a renewal of the battle. The corre spondents at the front are strangely silent concerning the coming develop ments, but from the slight movements reported and the continual reconnol- tering of the Japanese posistions it is regarded as certain that Gen. Kuro- patkin has a perfectly free hand ac corded him by his elevation to the post of command<*r-in-chlef and that he Is about to undertake an offensive movement. Field Marshal Oyama reported to be fortifying his whole lines south of the Shakhe river, show ing that he is preparing to meet the Russian onset Not a ray of light as yet has been shed upon Kuropatkln’i plans.
