JAPANESE ROUTED.
Russians Capture Eight Guns From the
Japs,


Mukden.-All day Friday Russian
siege guns bombarded villages occu-
pied by the Japanese to the east of
Mukden. Early in the morning the
Don Cossacks routed the Japanese
scouts of Lidiatoun and captured eight
guns. This brilliant action, described
by Chinese, who, dressed as a Co.'S
sack, participated in the attack, is as
follows:
when volunteers were called for
from two infantry regiments every
man stepped forward, and the Co.'S
sacks in chorus asked not to be left
behind when the little party was form
ed. The order was given to depart at
2 o'clock in the morning, and all the
men advanced with extreme caution
and in silence, sometimes crawling and
sometimes running
'The party divided and attacked the
Japanese position from two sides. The
Japanese were sound asleep, and they
did not even have time to raise a cry
before all was over.
Again we advanced and soon saw
before us the outlines of battery. All
the Japanese were asleep except the
sentries. We encircled the battery
and attacked the rear. The Japanese
had not expected such an audacious
and sudden attack, and when the Co.'S
sacks charged on a dead run, followed
by chasseurs on foot, the Japanese
were badly scared and unable to real
ize what was happening. They rush
ed, half dressed, from their tents, only
to be received by spears and bayo-
nets.
"The fight lasted only few minutes,
when the whole camp broke and fed
in wild panic, leaving eight guns in
our hands. We had no losses, and on
ly one man was slightly wounded. The
Japanese left at least Is dead and prob
ably as many more were wounded"
Crouching in rifle pits has so hard
ened the men to danger that they ig-
more it.
General Rennenkampff's Cossacks
are still in pursuit of the Japanese and
have driven them out of the villages
of Intsagoudzy and Dapindunigan, TAX
ing many prisoners and rifles.

THE FIGHT ON METER HILL.
JAPANESE MADE ONE ATTEMPT
AFTER ANOTHER.
Slaughter Was Grim and Terrible on
Both Sides-Japs, After RepeIling
Fierce Counter Attack by Russian
Reinforcements, Are Left in Pos
sessionsof Forts.

Toxic, Dec. 6.-Unofficial details re-
ceived here of the capture of 2O3
Meter hill show that the struggle be-
gan at l p. m. on November 27, when
the besiegers concentrated the fire Of
their heavys guns on the parapets of
Red hill. 800 meters south of 2O3
Meter hill. After that the infantry,
advancing in widely extended order
from Kinkiatung and Ukistum, reach
ed charging distance. Four consecu-
tive charges were delivered between
3 and O'Clock. The fourth succeed
ed, but during the night the Russians
made their counter attacks. The third,
which was especially furious, drove
the Japanese back. On the morning
of the 2Sth the Japanese, instead of
advancing by way of Red hill, made a
direct move on 203 Meter hill. The
attack began at daylight and was con-
tinued with desperate resolution. The
Japanese advanced into the valley be-
tween two hills. They received the
full fire of both forts and were de-
cimated, but sweeping on, stormed the
slopes of 2O3 Meter hill and captured
the southeast corner of the northern
face.
In the meantime another force
found lodgment near the parapet at
the southwest face. These opera
tions were very costly to both sides.
Numerous hand grenades were thrown
wv 1n hyy
Japanese. The Twenty-ninth Russian
regiment made furious counter at
tack, and bearing the Japanese back
on the southwest corner swept down
and poured shells into them which
moved them down.
At p. m. the Russians showed
clear signs of weakening. The Jap.
anese made renewed rush from the
trenches of the southwest corner, but
the Russians did not move. The casu-
alties of the assailants were very
heavy. At this critical moment re-
serves were sent into the Japanese
fighting line, and with shouts which
rang over the whole of Port Arthur,
the assaulters hurled themselves
against the Russians, who finally, at
1880 p. m., broke into groups of 20 and
80 retired suddenly. Almost stimuli
taneously the assailants at the south
east angle pushed home their attack
and the whole fortress was occupied
at 8 p. m.
After this Red hill was carried cas-
lily, but during the same night the
Russians, whose large reinforcements
had been summoned by telegraph and
had arrived just too late, delivered
six desperate counter attacks, the last
of which continued from o'clock in
the morning until noon. At first the
Russians repeatedly closed up to bayo-
net distance and there was series
of hand to hand struggles, the assail.
ants falling back and again advanc-
ing. Finally. after terrible losses on
both sides, the Russians retreated to
Ansthan and Estechan, leaving the
Japanese in assured possession of the
stronghold.

TRAVERSE OCEAN UNDER WATER
New Submarine Boat Planned by Mr..
Simon Lake.

Simon Lake.
A keel has been laid at the ship
yards in Newport News for a new
and larger lake submarine boat, in
which the inventor, Simon Lake, ex-
poets to make a trip across the At
lantic under her own power, in an ef-
fort to demonstrate her seaworthi-
ness. The new vessel will be 83 feet
long and proportionately larger in
every way. She will carry four tor
pedo tubes, 10 torpedoes, and without
assistance will have cruising radius
of 1000 miles.
"This will be the first submarine
boat of any class to attempt to cross
the ocean," said Lake. There is no
reason, however, why she should not
cross in safety. Ordinary torpedo
boats have made the voyage without
inconvenience, and the craft we are
now having built will be more sea-
worthy than any torpedo boat ever
built

POLITICAL NOTES

James A. Peterson is still as confident OF
carrying Hennepin county for Dunn as he
was Of being nominated for congress two
years ago. He made it strong to some
delegates from outside yesterday, declar-
ing that Dunn would carry every ward in
the city, but he has not covered the wager
that one Of the delegates offered to make
that Collins would carry the county.
Anoka republicans are sore over the
treatment received by Granville S. Pease
at the eighth district convention. Those
who attended the state convention COM
mented freely on the incident, and said
that the refusal Of w. r. Gillis to serve
as alternate was solely because Of feel
ing over the Pease incident. They had
expected 1santi and Mile Laos counties.
which are in the same legislative district,
to stand by Pease. but they cast their
solid vote for DeLaittre Of Aitkin. Now
that the Anoka men know why it was
done they are in no better mood. The
Mile Laos men explained that they did
not care for DeLaittre or Pease, but for
Dunn. Aitkin county was weakening in
its support of Dunn, and they thought it
necessary to brace up Aitkin county by
electing its choice for delegate. Only
three members of the Isanti county dele-
cation were present, headed by III. F.
Barker, and they cast the full vote for
5DeLaittre, evidently for the same reason.
Whatever their fractional differences at
home, the republicans Of Anoka county
were a unit in supporting Pease for the
honor, and they are sore over the throw
down at the hands Of their supposed
friends. III

Of preservation. The fact is noted that

is capable of recognizing its own in the
