Paris, March 3.-Crcdence is not Civ
en- by the foreign office to the reports
that China is on the even Of joining
Japa in the war. All the adviccS re-
Ceivcd here indicate that China pro-
poses to observe her declaration of
neutrality and that the Chinese troops
sent north have instructions to enforce
her neutrality. 1t is understood that
China has disavowcd any collision be-

Joined the latter are dcScrtcrS and that

France has been approached to ccdc
any islands to Russia for use as coal

sends her Baltic ficeet to the Far East
Should Russia make Il request to this
effect it will be denied as such action
would be regarded rs a breach of neu-
trality. To show Frances purpose to
remain neutral tits pointed out that
Russia has a coal depot at Nillefrance,
near Nice. but that Russian ships will
not be allowed to use that station as in
time of peace.

Japanese military base in Corea. 1t is
believed that the Japanese have landed

week.
Ping-Yang is about 100 miles south
of the Yalu river. on the northern bank

Centrated. but before the Japanese
reach the Yalu they will have to cap

from Guantanamo under Wednesdays
date as follows:
"ln making passage from Gauntana-
mo to Pensacola, Fla. the Missiuri's

have been burned to death and three
thousand square miles of territory in
EioWa and Comanche counties, swept
by prairie fires. Hundreds of people

A. N. Crawford, near LawtOn, seri-

oition.

New York, March 3.-The Sun has
the following London cable:
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Express says that the repeated attacks
on Port Arthur have created a cOndi-
ton approaching decentralization among
the troops. There is little hope that
tie place will be able to make Il 'onS
defence. Eations there are already cx-
ceedingly short and it is expected hat
when the town is invested hunger will
soon compel its capitulation.
There are not many civilians left in
the town. but there are enough to cause
the authorities anxiety. Those who
first lacked confidence in the towns
ability to withstand the attacks of the

since the attempts to block the harbor
was defeated.

DENIES REPORTS.
Gould Says He's Not Behind Western
Railroad Project.

San Francisco. Cal, March 3.-George
J. Gould. president of the great Gould
system Of railroads. accompanied by his
family and several railway officials and
friends. have just arrived here from
the South. The party has been maxi
ing tour of the Southern and South
western states and stopping over at
San Diego and Santa Barbara on their
way to this city.
In an interview Mr.. Gould denied the
frequent reports that he was behind
the Western railroad project. The
Southern Pacific connections with the
Could and other roads to the West he
said, were emincntly satisfactory and
he could see no reason why he should
contemplate an invasion of the coast
territory so long as these pleasant re-
litionS continued. The same state
m"nt. he added. would apply to the
Santa Fc connections.

SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR.
That Appears to Be Opinion at Yin
Kow.

Yin Kow, March 3.-The Russo-Chi-
nese Bank is closing. preparatory TO
removing to Mukden. Women and chill
dren are preparing to leave Wing kow
in anticipation of the arrival OF IL Jap
river opens, probably Il fortnight hence.
The United States gunboat Helena
and the British cruiser E5piegle are
making preparations to leave the dry
docks in 4 weeks time.
The main mast of the Russian gun
boat Sivoutch has been cut off: this
would indicate that she is being dis
mantled, but otherwise she would APP
pear to be clearing 70: action.
On account of the impossibility of de-
Tending the coast at Yin KOw until
such time as Il tnaw permits the con-
Struction of entertainments and forts,
the Russians have prepared to retire
up the main railroad line. There are
practically no defences here and al
though the shifting and rcshifting of
troops ana artillery to the small forts
at the mouth Of the Lao river has the
appearance Of an intention to defend
Yin Kow. the military authorities de-
pend upon an inland engagement to
put n stop to the Japanese advance.
AS far as it yet known. the only
plans decided upon are. first. that Cen
KurOpatkin's headquarters are to be a.
Mukden; Niceroy Alexieff proposes to
remain at Mukden Indefinitely as that
city is the center of the Chinese adj
ministration, and has q VicerOyalty
bureau: second, that the plain west of
Tashihchiao which is almost omrossi-
BILE of defence, will be held if possible
on account of the railroad connecting
with Port Arthur; third. Hal Ching and
Lao Yang are the extreme limits to
which troops will be withdrawn, on ac-
count of the exposure Of the railroad
ut these points.
That the Japanese will arrive here
before a thaw permits the constructions
of defences is thought here to be prac-
tically certain. 1t would appear also
that the authorities expect Tort Arthur
to be besicged.

NEW FACTS PRESENTED.
Rc-opening of the Dreyfus Case at
Paris.

Paris. March 3.-Another stage in
the effort of Alfred Dreyfus to obtain
a vindication began. today, when the
criminal branch of the court of cassa-
ton presided over by Counsellor Cham
barcaud, commenced to consider the
new facts upon which the former cap
tain of artillery bases his demand for
Il revision of the sentence Of 10 years
Imprisonment followed by pardOn)
imposed upon him by the courtmartial
at Rennes.
Former Col. Piquart was present but
Dreyfus was not, his interests being in
the hands of Lawyer Morhard.
After the disposition of minor ques-
tions, M. Chambareaud directed NJ.
Boyer, reporter of the court to read his
report, in which, to the manifest inter-
est of the audience, he presented two
new facts upon which the minister OF
justice. NJ. Vale, recommended Il re-
vision of the case. These were set forth
as follows:
"One-Thc secret documents include
a letter bearing the initial d. Now
! by an affidavit of Oct. G, 1908. signed
| hy NJ. Gribclin Ulecper of the archivcS)
| it appears that this document previ-
ously carried the latter IT. For this
letter was substituted Il d and thus
the altered document was presented to
| the court ut RenncS.
"Two-According to the minister OF
justice. another letter signed Alexan-
dcrinc' which Agent "A addressed To
Agent 'B' contained some words in the
handwriting of the late Lieut.. Col
Henry (who committed suicide in
prison after having confessed to COM
hitting a forgery in the case). This
letter relates to the organization OF
| French railroads. NJ. Gribclin swOrc
during the inquiry of the minister OF
war that this letter was false. Il was
true. however, that the date of this
document was March 2S, 1895, when
Drcyfus was imprisoned on Devils Is
land"
The existence of Il traitor in the
French war Office was revealed by an
alleged foreign diplomat, who acted
without compensation. 1t is now
claimed that Lieut.. Col. Henry in 1897
caused Il book of expenditures to be
rccopicd in order to remove all trace
of payments to this diplomat, who, it
has developed. was an cmpioye OF the
intelligence department.
1t was claimed by those present in
court that if the new facts were ac-
knOwlcdSed by the tribunal, the inHo-
cencc of Dreyfus would be established.

Dyspepsia viii Be Driven eff the Earti,.

The great and effective work of STU
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is no longer
confined to America. They are being
used now all over the world, for their
fame has spread throughout foreign
countries and they cure dyspepsia in al!
lands and all climates just as we'll as
they do ut home. In fact, surroundings
and conditions never interfere with the
successful work of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. not even tho conditions Of
stomach itself. They go ahead in their
own natural way regardless of the
stomach and digest the food that
the bad stomach cannot digest
and permit that organ to do Just
as it p!cascs, rest up, take a
vacation. get we'll or what-not.
TIL" stomach. however, always makes it
Il point to get well when it has nothing
else to do. That's what stomachs al
ways have done and will continue to do
when they have the opportunity.
A prominent Detroit physician saws:
Il prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
for all cases of stomach trouble, l have
tried many prescriptions, including n
number of my own. but find nothing
that gives such universal relief as this
remedy. They are natural. harmless
and thoroughly effective in their work.
and while 1 have natural antipathy
to patent medicines, Z do not hesitate
to prescribe and recdnmend Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets on all occasions
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by ALI druggists at fifty cents a
box. They arerS well known and their
popularity is .soSgreat that a druggist
would as soon think of being out of al
chol or quinine. The above testimonial
of the physician is no exception. In
fact. physicians are prescribing them
all over the land and if your own doc
tor is real honest with you he will tell
you frankly that there is nothing on
