JAPS AND GERMANS DOWN TO WORK
TOKIO. Oct. 1.—The Japanese and the Germans have
now got down to the real business of fighting and from
this time forward some thrilling episodes will have to be
recorded as they are recorded in an official communique
issued this morning by the Japanese government. Seveie
fighting has taken place within the past twenty four
hours in which the honors seem to be even judging by
this official communication. The German warships in
the harbor opened a heavy fire on the Japanese positions
at Tsingtau last evening and inflicted some casualties
including the death oi two Japanese officers. The answer
from the Japanese came in the form of an attack from
their siege guns on a German torpedo destroyer which
was taking part in the shelling and which was sunk fin
ally. To offset this the Japanese lost one mine sweeping
ship and had another badly damaged. While they were
engaged in their work of searching for mines they struck
one each. The first one was blown to splinters and the
second narrowly missed the same fate. As it is she has
probably been put out of business. Three men were killed.
GENERAL AUFFENBURG ILL
VIENNA, Oct. L—It is officially announced that
General Auffenburg is seriously ill and that his place as
commander of the Austrians will have to be filled by some
one else. It is reported, but not officially, that he has been
stricken with cholera and the rumors are now being
strengthened that the fell disease has taken a frightful
hold among the troops of Francis Joseph.
Auffenburg was formerly minister of war for the
empire and has recently been in command of the Austrian
center during the battles with the Russians. The people
of this city are confident that the Galicians have been the
chief cause of the defeats sustained by the Austrian arm
ies. About half the population of that province are of
the same race and religion as Russians and are accused of
having betrayed the Austrians. The boast of the Russians
that they can reach Vienna is laughed at. The climate of
the country through which they must pass is severe, short

which are still clear of the enemy.
WALL STREET CLERKS DESTITUTE
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—One of the most peculiar re
sults of the war felt here is the destitution of the clerks
who were employed in Wall street before it was compel
led to close. Thousands of these clerks are unable to ob
tain employment and as many of them had lived up to
their salaries theyare now in a serious plight A committee
has been organized by the banks of the city to find them
employment
ANOTHER BRITISH STEAMER SUNK
LONDON, Oct. 1.—The record of accidents to British
shipping in the North Sea had another chapter added
yesterday when the steamer Selby was blown up by a Ger
man mine. The people of the city seem to find it hard to
understand how the Germans can carry on the work of
laying the mines in spite of the tremendous naval forces
which the British constantly maintain for the search in
those waters. The crew of the Selby were all saved ac
cording to the report given out by the government.
AUSTRIANS AGAIN SURROUNDED.
Petrograd, Sept. 30—It is officially announced this aft
ernoon that the Austrian army has been surrounded near
Dukla. Its defeat is complete and all its food, ammunition
and war material have fallen into the hands ol the Rus
sians. The spoils include five hundred military autos.
(Dukla is shown on the map to be a place in the foothills
of the Carpathians near a pass through those ranges. It is
a long distance south of Cracow.)
BRITISH ANSWER CONGRESS.
Washington, Sept. 30—'The British ambassador to
Washington this afternoon presented an answer to the
charge that British warships were interfering with the
shipment of copper.to Holland on neutral ships. He states
that the complaint has its foundation in the fact that the
British seized two cargoes of copper bound from the Unit
ed States to Europe but that the copper was consigned,
not to Holland, but to the Krupp works in Germany. He
says that the copper has been diverted to England and
payment to the full value of the cargoes has been sent to
the American shippers.
ITALY PROTESTS TO AUSTRIA
Rome, Sept. 30—'The Italian government has filed a pro
test with the government of Austria against the alleged
laying of mines by the Austrians in the Adriatic sea. The
immediate cause of the protest is the sinking of Italian
fishing boats near Ancona by mines supposed to have
been laid by Austrian ships. No answer has yet been re
ceived from Vienna to the protest.
DESCRIBES ATTACK ON ANTWERP
Antwerp, Sept. 30—An account of the attack on the
forts of Liezele and Breedonk by the Germans was offic
ially issued this afternoon. It states that the Belgians held
possession of the ground between the forts and allowed
the Germans to approch within close range. As the Ger
mans came on and reached a point within a few yards of
the waiting Belgians the latter opened fire with artillery
and rifles with murderous effect. The bullets and missiles
from the big guns poured into the advancing ranks and
threw them into disorder. The Germans had no choice
but to retreat and the assault has not been repeated. The
siege of this city promises to be even more bloody than
the siege of Liege. The task before the Germans is one oi
tremendous difficulty while the garrison is strongly en
trenched.
ITALIAN TORPEDO BOATS SUNK.
Rome. Sept. 30—Unconfirmed reports are current this
afternoon that two Italian torpedo boats have been sunk
by mines off the Venetian coast. It is surmised that the
mines were laid by the Austrians and much indignation
has been expressed by the people of this city.
The feeling towards Austria in this country now is such
that such occurrences may lead to serious consequences.
HOLLAND SHORT OF WHEAT.
. The Hague, Sept. 30—The government of Holland has
hbegun to make an inventory of all the wheat in the milk
throughout the country. The mill owners seem to be de
sirous of complying with the orders of the government.
After the completion of the inventory the government will
fix the maximum price for wheat, flour and bread.
