This cablegram has been received at the navy department from' Rear Admiral Chadwick, commanding' the South Atlantic squadron at Tangier: The seizure of the American citizen was by an Insurgent chief, so as to bring pressure on the saltan of Morocco to secure the demands of the tribe. Our sense of the gravity of the case is shown by the presence of the American squadron, and will undoubtedly cause the earlier yielding by the sultan of Morocco to the demands of the chief, which Js the only safe means of relasing the captive. There Is the highest authority for the statement that an attack on Tangier or an expedition against the brigands will be followed by the immediate murder of the captives. At the instance of Secretary Jfiy, no instructions will be senL to Rear Admiral Chadwick for the present, pending the result of the repnkenta- - tions of Embassador Porter at Paris to the French government, requesting IkALNSAlKN DROWSED the exercise cf its good offices in obRANGE RIDERS IdEET DEATH IN taining the release of the captives.

Greatly Depressed Over Reverses at Nan Shan Hill. A courier who has arrived at Tien Tsin from Newcnwang says: While it is known that the Russians received reports from Mukden giving the losses sustained by them during the fighting at Kmrhou and Nan Shan hill and the conditions prevailing, they will not talk on the subject. The officers are desperately gloomy. The press bulletin giving the news of the fighting on the Kwang Tung peninsula, with the comments on the Victory of the Japanese, was suppressed on Its arrival, but was released when the Russians learned that two copies of it were in possession of Englishmen were being .nd shown to JAPS DISPLAY GREAT BRAVERY. Make Nine, Successive Charges, Though Exposed to Galling Fire. The details of the fighting at Kln Chon emphasize the heroic tenacity of the Japanese la their conduct at Nan Shan hill. Nine successive times the Japanese Infantry charged the fortified height in the face of a storm of death-dealin-g missiles, and in their last effort they carried the forts and trenches, only after a bayonet to bayonet conflict with the Russians, who made a despairing struggle to meet, the oncoming hordes. The final assault of the Japanese, in which they at last succeeded in taking possession, was marked by the encounmost desperate ter that has thus far characterized the war. The Japanese left, throughout the entire action until night, was exposed to an enfilading fire from the Russian Infantry, a gunboat on Talienwen bay and four guns posted at Tafang Chen. At a critical moment the ammunition of the artillery ran low, and it was decided to cast the remaining ammunition into one final desperate assault. , Fortunately, however, at the mo mont this decision was reached th Japanese squadron In Kin Chau bay. which bed ceased bombarding when the infantry had first moved forward, eudderlv resumed the shelling of Nan Shan hill. dee-Verat- e, hand-to-han- Japan Sends Sharp Note to China.
