Neither Side Respects the Flag
Of Truce.
The japanese Get Very Ferocious
and Kill Their Own Men For 4
Surrendering.
WITHOUT A PARALLEL IN WAR

Chefoo, Sept. l9.-The temper of the
beligerents at Port Arthur has reached
an absolutely merciless stage.
Even flags of truce for surrender are
not respected by either side.
Gen. Stoessel has addressed the garri-
son, saying that the present mood Of the
Japanese indicate clearly the necessity OF
resisting them to the last drop of Rus.
sian blood, because if the Japanese sol.
diers entered the fortress it will be i'm.
possible for their officers to control then
and prevent massacre.
For this reason Stoessel is making nc
objection to civilians leaving Port Ar.
thur, but 800 women, who are engaged
in hospital work, refuse to leave, as they
would rather face the possibility of mas.
sacre than desert their posts.
In consequence of the fact that flags
of truce are ignored, numbers of Japa.
nese dead who have been lying on the
slopes of the hills of the northeast
defense for weeks are still unburied, and
the stencil in Port Arthur from the de-
composing bodies, when the wind is in
the right direction, is almost unindura-
BILE. Russian soldiers who are in some
cases posted only 80 PAGES from the
heaps of decaying dead, have constantly
to wear over their noses handkerchief,
soaked in camphor, as otherwise they
would be unable to remain at theil
posts.
In the course of the assaults which
took place in the last four days of Au-
gust two companies of Japanese, accord
ing to Radzivil, found themselves at the
mercy of the Russians and hoisted the
white flag. To this, however, the Rus
SLAMS paid no attention and continued
to pour volleys rapidly into the helpless
ranks of the enemy. In the meantime,
japanese troops in the rear of the com.
panies that had raised the white flag,
saw what their comrades had done and
e>Pieo'eu 'heh uisaPPioNai vi thc sur
render by firing into the rear. As a re-
suit of this fire from their friends and
foe, 600 men were annihilated.
The dead fell among the decomposing
bodies of previous assaulters.
For days afterwards wounded men in
this area raised fluttering handkerchiefs
in their hands in pleas for help, but the
Russians were afraid to venture out to
give succor.
Within a week the last arm had made
its last unregarded prayer for help, and
shambles was a quiet, but CHASTITY field
of horror.
Among the heaps of dead the prince
saw two soldiers, one Russian, another
japanese, lying locked in a death en-
brace. The teeth of the Japanese were
sunk in the Russians throat, while the
Russian had forced two fingers into the
eye sockets of his antagonist.

POLICE SHOCKED BY NEWS

Chief of Police James Collins and the
Paducah police department were sur
prised to receive yesterday morning the
following telegram, which had been for
warded by Chief of Police Ben Price, of
Cairo, to whom it was sent by mistake:
'vicksburg, Miss, Sept. Is, 1904.
James Collins, Chief of Police, Paducah,
Ky.
John Austin in hospital. Doctors say
that they can't tell for a day or two.
He is out of his head and gives rambling
statements. II he comes TO himself they
may not have TO operate on him. But If
not will have to operate on him. He was
struck in the back of the head.
civilian PRICE,
"Chief of Police"
Patrol Driver Austin left last Tuesday
ostensibly for Elizabethtown, ILL.,, to
bring home his family. He left Mr..
Frank Bennett in his place, and it was
thought would be gone Init few days.
Nothing was heard from him, and ths
police came to the conclusion that he
was trying to play joke on them, and
posted in the city hall notice offering
$40 reward for information leading to
his recovery. The telegram came as a
shock to them. They have no idea how
he got to Mississippi nor what he went
for, but the general opinion is that dur
ing temporary ALTERATION he wander
ed away.
He seemed TO be respondent at the
depot the night he went away. Officer
Aaron Hurley was at the depot and Of
fcer Austin informed him that he was
going never to return" Officer Hurley
stated that he did not think the patrol
driver was drinking, but did think he
was in some kind of trouble and think
ing it possibly financial, offered to loan
him money, which was refused.
"You have always been my friend,
Hurley" Austin stated, and clasping his
hand said Goodbye forever, and say
for me that / want Frank Bennett to
have my job"
Officer Hurley thought his actions and
speech rather queer, but paid no atten-
ton to him. He said that he was going
to Cairo, from Cairo would 60 TO Shaw
neetown on the Big Four, and drive
across to Elizabethtown, where his fam
lily was visiting.
His family returned to Paducah last
night on the Evansville packet, alarmed
at his absence and at not receiving any
word from him.
Officer Austin is a member Of Mangum
lodge, Odd Fellows, and also of the Red
Men. Both lodges have wired to give him
every attention, and are anxiously
awaiting more definite news from him.
A special dispatch this afternoon from
Vicksburg, Miss, to the Sun states that
John Austin was sand bagged by being
struck in the back of the head by some
unknown party on the river front on
last Thursday, the 18th, in the evening
about geo p. m. He phoned Chief of
Police Brine to come TO see him at Err
banks drug store, having walked half
block or more. He was in a semi-con-
scious condition and has not regained his
reason yet. He is suffering very much
with pain in the back of his head and
temples, also his back. ID. b. Genasci,
assistant chief of police, from whom the
Sun received the telegram, adds; II
have phoned to hospital, ll:20 a. m,
and they have him on operating table
now"

STRANGE CAT IN NATIONAL zoo.
He Is an African Serval, but Resem-
bles Texas Wildcat.

Lying peacefully in one corner Of
his cage In the National zoo in Wash
ington, watching visitors with his lit
tie beady, rat-like eyes, is the newly
imported African serval, a member of
the cat family. He is n Of the first
seen in this country, and gets a lot Of
attention, both on this account and
because of his grotesque appearance.
He resembles the Texas wild cat in
general contour and coloring, but his
markings are more distinct and regu-
lar, and his long, pointed ears are not
tufted as are those of his wildcat
brother. The serval has a dog-like
muzzle, which, combined with his
long. dropping %whiskers, gives him a
decidedly Chinese cast of counte-
nance. Although not personally beau
tiful, he seems to have a cheerful and
philosophical disposition. and PAGES
