PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Few Developments in Far East-6altic
Fleet in Sanal.

TtCCt IIt 0du0ss
There were few developments in the
far east last week, although rumors
came regularly that an immediate en-
gagement was probable. There were
sklrmishes at many points along the
line at the Shakhe river, with several
sharp artillery exchanges last Sunday.
No important movement was made,
however, save that of the Russians in
retiring from Da pass. The japanese
made an attack on the forts of Kekwan
mountain, near Port Arthur, but were
repulsed.
The Japanese attacked Poutiloff Tor
Lone Tree) hill on Tuesday, and after
a small but somewhat sanguinary con.
test were repulsed. The following day
| it was announced that they were at
tempting to execute a wide turning
movement on the east, with view OF
fanking the Russian left, but there
was nothing to show that important
progress had been made in the man.
euver. ......
During the week part of the Baltic
squadron reached Port Said, and will
probably pass through the Suez canal
this week. Now that it seems GER
tain that the. Russians actually intend
to attempt to relieve the situation by
the dispatch of a new fleet into Asiat
ic waters, it is thought that an aggres
sive assault will be made on Port Ar
thur in an effort to reduce it and com
pei surrender before the Baltic yes
sells arrive on the scene. 1t is said
that the besieged may be able to hole
out until January, but whatever the
strength of the garrison, it is probable
that conditions within the fortress are
rapidly approaching a critical stage.

Captain Mix was one Of the earliest
commanders at the old frontier mill.
tary post Of Fort Gibson, l. T., when
this whole vast region, now under the
influence Of civilization, was a wilder
ness, occupied only by wild beasts and
rowing bands Of wild Indians.
Captain Mix had plenty of work to
do in affording protection to the scat
tered whites and in resisting the wild
tribes Of the plains, with whom he was
in almost constant turmoil. The cap.
tain had come from the East, and was
accompanied by his wife. She was a
fine horseback rider aud enjoyed out

husband on the prair1es around Fort
Gibson, engaging in the hunt and
sometimes on expeditions against the
Indians, thus making life to her an
almost continual round of romance
and adventure.
In one of the military expeditions
against the fierce Sioux, in which sew
eral companies Of United States troops
were engaged, Captain Mix was am
bushed and killed with number Of
his command. The sad news seemed
to have changed the whole tenor Of the
life of Mrs. Mix, who was inconsola u.e
for the loss Of her husband and COM
panion. She brooded over the matter,
and came to the conclusion to avenge
the tragic death Of her husband. She
assumed male garb and never missed
an opportunity to Join an expedition
against the Sioux to fight them, being
daring and reckless almost to mad
ness. distinguishing herself in many q
hard and bloody fight.

scout, continued her warfare Of re-
venge for about eight years, under
going many hardships and dangers
and becoming noted for reckless brav.
cry and good fortune. SO that she at
tracted attention Of head officers Of
the army and others, and thereby be-
came noted.
In one Of the expeditions against
the enemy the whites were ambushed,
some killed and others captured,
among the latter being Mrs. Mix. She
managed to escape from her captors,
and after long journey through the
wilderness in winter weather reached
the fort in famished and almost dy-
Ing condition, when her sex became
known. Although possessing a strong
constitution, she never recovered from
her journey through the wilderness,
: becoming physical wreck, and died
