Alexieff, speaking to an American of.
fetal, said:
WAR would be great calamity.
Here we believe that the best wav
to prevent it would be to strengthen
ourselves as much as possible. There
fore we have left no steps untaken
for that purpose"
The details of the maneuvers were
kept secret, but the correspondent of
The Associated Press learns that the
landing of forces at Talien Wan bay
were repulsed. It is reported that the
attacking army broke through Port
Arthur's defenses at the three points.
Two battleships and two cruisers are
on their way here from Russia. When
they arrive Russia's naval force on this
station will be stronger than Japan's,
according to the views of the Rus
sian officers.
Anticipation of war is at a feverish
heat in the army and navy, but this
Is based entirely on the activity of the
preparations visible everywhere.
The higher officials believe that
Japan has been over-awed by the
demonstration of Russia's power.

Jackson, the convicted murderer OF
Fonny Buck, a 6-year-old boy, was
taken from Jail late last night by a
mob and lynched. Shortly before mid
night, rs masked men, all armed with
rifles or shotguns, forced their way
through the rear of the Jail and over
powered Jailar Stephens Jackson
pleaded piteously for mercy, but was
rushed out into the street where the
mob had already provided themselves
with a rope. The rope was quickly
thrown over the electric light pole
and the moose placed about Jacksan's
neck. He was asked if he had any
thing to say, but only pleaded for
mercy. The mob then pulled him
into the air, after which they quietly
dispersed. Not shot was fred.
The identity of the mob leaders is
unknown. Jackson's body was soon
cut down by the sheriff and coroner
and removed to the morgue.
The murder of little Fonny Buck
was particularly atrocious.

arrested lynching was narrowly
aVerted. His trial quickly followed
and a verdict was returneSrwithin two
hours. He was sentenced to be hang
