I’ueaibly the moat Important capture during: the three days' flKbtlns was that of Port Knrotxitkln. which, while of minor value wtU) regard to preventing the entrance Into the town of the Japanese, has been constructed for the purpose of protecting the source of the irurrV•on's water supply. The control of this water rupply Is now lu the hands of the Japanese. A 81. Petersburg ret»ort says that Major OeoeraJ Orloff. wboae predpltanoy in leuving Yental to Join In the attack on the heights of Sykwantun left flank and necessitated the abandonment of Liaoyang. will be detached from the Manchurian army and given another command In European Hum I a or perhaps be may be retired. The c*ar’a appointment of the new commander deposes General Kuropatkln from the position of commander In chief, as in future be ranks on an equal footing with General Gfippenberg. General Kurokl 1* again nndertaklng most active work, endeavoring to circle around the Russian left flank and threaten their line of retreat. In the meantime avoiding carefully the-pre-pared Russian defenses. Haring crossed the Hun river much higher up than the Pushun ford, he Is taking a direct tine to Tlellng. His Intention is to repeat his Liaoyang tactics. The appointment of General ,Grlppenberg and the reorganisation of the army amounts to formal notice to the world, as the emperor frankly ex plains, that be Intends to vastly Increase the number of troops at the theater of war In order to force the struggle to a rocceaafnl Issue In the shortest possible time. It is intended to sliecwe definitely all talk of foreign Intervention by the announcement that Russia means to fight out the Issue with Japan on the field of battle. Probably 800000 additional men will be placed In the field. By various channels It la reported from St i v tcrabnrg that Rear Admiral Wlren will attempt to break out of Port Arthur with hi* ships and return to Europe. The task of escaping from Admiral Togo appears to be hopeless If Admiral Orrera’s attempt to get away from Santiago is remembered. Wlren'* men, unlike tbs Spaniard*, bare bad plenty of war experience and are in a desperate position. A dispatch from Chert) says that the foreign military attaches and newspaper correspondents with tbs second army witnessed the batitle of Liaoyang from a distance of eight miles ud that they protested to the Japanese authorities because of this restriction upon their movements. General 1 Oku replied that in the future they would be permitted to witness engagements from a distance of four mUcs, a hereupon the correspondents left the second army deciding to make an attempt to roach Port Dalny. Melton Prior, the famous BrttMb war correspondent, says be believes that with the possible exception of tbs battle of Liaoyang. not one correspondent has seen a shot fired, uad be even doubts If tbs Uaopn* fighting was really doeeiy witnessed by any newa-

A. Noble, who alleged that Gurney wn* operating hi* motor cat at a rate of ajM<ed •xceodlng twcutj tulles an hour. When arraigned tu the Lee district court Mr. Gurney waa accompanied bj two other members of the embassy He wh» asked -to plead to the com plaint which had been made and re fused to do so on the ground that b< was a British sub'ject and a membei of the British embassy. Judge H. T. Phelps was on tb« bench. Mr. Phelps U a prominent real dent of Lee and a promoter. He knowt common law, but baa had little experience with court matters. He know*, however, that Lenox resident* have little respect for speed ordinances. Judge Phelps aald to the diplomat: "You plead to the complaint or 1 will fine yon for contempt of court.~ When Mr. Gurney refused to plead the Judge aald: "You are fined I2S for contempt of court and $25 for violating (be speed law. “An officer will accompany you to Lenox for tin* amount of the fine,” said the court. The diplomat left the courtroom, accompanied by a deputy sheriff, who went with him to Lenox, where the money waa paid over. Judge I’helps was seen at the dose of the court. “I don't care to discus* the case for publication.” be aald. “1 will suy that members of the British embassy or any other emlwasy will be treated the same as any citizen of the commonwealth Ip this court." Notice of the action of a special Justice at Lee, Manx., in finding Hugh Gurney, third secretary of the British embassy, was received at the state department in a telegram from Mr. Ralkes, first secretary of the embassy, who Is at Lenox. The department Immediately transmitted this telegram in substance to the governor of Massachusetts, with the suggestion that be do whatever might be necessary to secure the diplomatic Immunity of Mr. Gurney. It is believed at the department that the matter may be far more serious than the local official* at Lee seem to regard It. In the firat place, by constitutional and statutory law the person* attached to. an embassy are expressly relieved from any legal responsibility. and exemption even extends to domestic servants. Section '4063. revised statutes, declares that any writ proof rated in any court of the United States or of a state or by any judge or Justice intended to cause tbe arrest and Imprisonment of any public minister or his servant shall be void.
