Russian patriotism comes high. The
brace Of subjects fthe Car who
chewed various portions of the head of
a Portuguese who ventured to express
sympathy for Japan, were fined $40 and
costs this morning by Judge Lindsay
The Russians claimed later to Deputy
High Sheriff Chnlingworth that Leon
Strauss who had defended them, had
taken a fee of 500 from them. They
claimed the sum excessive. Whatever
the private opinion of the deputy might
have been he was unable to help them
and advised them to seek the Russian
vice consul or else the attorney general
and report the matter.

Farmer FOUND DIAMONDS III FIELD.
We're in Fertilizer That He Bought
al a Railroad Wreck.

Charleston, S. c., June 2.-The
finding of large number Of diamonds
in a field near Lucanla, n. c., has
caused considerable stir thereabout.
An A. G.. L. passenger conductor,
who runs on the "short cut' past
Lucama, says that the value Of the
diamonds found is more than $40, 600.
When southbound West Indian mail
train ran into some box cars at Luca-
ma, car load of fertilizer was wreck
ed. The mail was thrown on top OF
the fertilizer car and was burned.
The next day the company sold the
fertilizer to farmer nearby and be
hauled it out to his farm and scattered
it in his field. When it was being
distributed the hands picked up sew
eral pretty diamonds which they took
to be pieces of glass. The farmer in
mediately began careful search Of the
field and soon secured $S, 600 worth of
diamonds which has subsequently in
creased by $1,000 worth. AS soon as
the, news spread, people from all
neighboring sections came and joined
in the search, and the field was so up
turned that his entire crop had to be
replanted.
The conductor says he has seen sew
eral of the diamonds and that they are
undou btedly genuine. Nothing has
been heard from the actual owners Of
the diamonds.

days I ordered our positions at Kin
Chou to be evacuated IN the evening,
for we bad opposed to US at least three
divisions with l20 guns.
'The enemy's fire, particularly that
from four gunboats and six torpedo
boats, completely annihilated our bat
teries mounted at Kin Chou. The
Fifth regiment which was posted on
this spot stood its ground heroically.
The fire of this regiment as we'll as
that of our batteries and tho gunboat
Bobr off Khounoueza inflicted enor-
nous losses on the japanese.
"Our losses amounted to 80 officers
and 800 men killed or wounded. We
blew up or damaged all our guns which
the japanese had not put out of ac-
tion.
1t would have been inexpedient GER
