LONDON EXULTS IN
JAPANESE VICTORY.

London, May 3.-The latest dis
patches received here, confirming the
completeness of the Japanese victory
on the Yalu, could hardly have given
greater satisfaction in Toxic than
they have done in London. The edi-
torfals in the morning papers ring with
admiration at the success of Gen.
kurokis strategy in manner indi-
eating that Great Britain had been
in considerable doubt of the capacity
of her ally's troops, when matched
against the Russians; and, despite the
lack by Japan of good cavalry to
follow up her victory, it is believed
that she will speedily drive the Rus
slams out of Feng Huan Cheng also.

received, but it seems that the jap

STAFF GIVES OUTLINE
OF YALU OPERATIONS.

St. Petersburg, May 2, 8 p. m.-The
Associated Press has obtained from the
general staff an outline of the opera

week.
The Russian force, including the re-

knowledge of geography is essential
to a clear understanding. The Russian
lines were at Kulien- Cheng Cor Turen-
chem opposite Wiju and Antung, both
on the Feng- Wang Cheng road. A
mile north of Kulien- Cheng lies the viii
lage of Potietinsky, near tributary of
the Litzaven, five miles UP which is
Chin Cow. On the opposite bank of
the tributary is the village of Litza-
vena. Opposite Potietinsky stands
Housan, with a dominating hight. Still
higher. on the right of the Yalu is the
village of Ambikhe at the confluence
of the Aipike.
The whole course of the Yalu be-
tween Ambikhe and Antung is divided
by islands, the largest Somalinda, fac
ing Kulien-Cheng. Another lies be-
tween Housan and Sindiagow.

Japanese prepared for crossing the riv-

of which the Russians say the Japa-
nese had five times more than they,

that the issue ultimately turned prob

A slight delay at a critical moment
might have enabled the enemy's vast

Russian plan would not be changed by

NOT ON MEAT
Man Couldn't Regain Strength Until
He Changed to Grape-Nuts.

It's common joke to say HE eats
so much it makes him poor to carry it
around when speaking of some thin,
scrawuy fellow who eats as much as
a horse, but it is frequently true If the
food is not the kind the body calls for.
A person might eat a ton of i'm
proper food and never get an ounce of
nourishment from it, but put them on
a Grapefruit diet and four teasponfuls
of this food (Which is all nourish-
ment) quickly brings pounds in weight
and a fortune in health and strength
This has been proved over and over.
A German woman of Chicago gives
an instance in her own family. It's
briefly told but the truth is there: "My
husband lost his left hand in an acct
dent and lost a terrible amount of
blood, kept getting weaker for five
months and finally got terrific cough.
He would eat big meals of meat and
potatoes to get well, but didn't get any
good from them. Finally-I persuaded
him to try Grape Nuts food and from
a skeleton of S3 pounds he soon re-
gained his normal weight Of 207
pounds and is strong and well and de-
clares he wants no other food for the
main part of his meals.

it was reported that Gen. Sassulitch
would be relieved of his command and
court-martialed for making a too
strenuous stand on the right bank OF
the Yalu. AS a matter of fact, while
the War Office is surprised at the re-
sistance made by Gen. Sassulitch, a
telegram from Gen. Kuropatkn to the
Emperor on April &c, announced that
Sassaulitch, in view of the preparations
which the Japanese We're making to
cross the Yalu, had begun to rein
force his troops on the IIanchurian
bank
Another report says that the War
Office has been informed that the Rus
sian casualties numbered 1000. Should
this be true, it can be accepted as a
certainty that the Russian plan of
operations never contemplated such a
sacrifice.
In view of the cautious advance of
the Japanese, it is not expected that
they will quickly follow up Sassaulitch,
but will take a few days in getting
the remainder of their troops and sup
plies across the river and in clearing
the country of Russian detachmcnts
in order that their communications
may not be exposed to attack.

HEAVY FOG PREVENTED
ATTACK ON VLADlV0ST0K.

Toxic, May 2, noon.-Vice Admiral
Kamimura, who is in command of the
Japanese squadron which has been OPP
Grating recently against Vladivostok,
has sent in report from Gen San,
Korea, dated Sunday. in which he says
that the impenetrable fog twice forced
the abandonment of the attack on
vladivostok and twice spared the Rus
sian squadron a sea fight.
While Kamimura was steaming
north the first time he passed the Rus
sian squadron bound south on the raid
to Gen San, which resulted in the
sinking of the Japanese merchant
Kinshiu Maru. The japanese and the
Russian squadrons must have passed
very close to each other, for the Jap
anese were conscious of the presence
of the enemy.
When Kamimura was compelled to
suspend his attack upon Vladivostok
he moved to the southwark and again
passed the Russians on their way
north after the Gen San raid.
As soon as Kamimura returned to
the Korean coast he learned that the
Kinshiu Maru was missing and imme-
diately returned to the north to search
for it. He found three boats belong
ing to the Kinshiu Maru floating at
sea. He then detached some cruisers
from his squadron and sent them to
search certain inlets in the vicinity of
Naniwa. The vessels discovered some
Russian mines at Izumi The Japan
csc cruisers exploded the mines.
Vice Admiral Kamimurs closes his
report by saying that the continuance
of the fog since Thursday has prevent
edra renewal of the attack.

interest of the public in the news of
the fighting on the Yalu is at fever

To the general disappointment, no
further kilograms from Gen. Kuropat-

Commission, nor will the censor pass
press dispatches wired from the front.
The absence of news led to the cir
