The Russian View of the Losses of
the Japanese.

the Japanese.
Paris, Feb. 2S.-In a dispatch from
st. Petersburg the correspondent of the
Echo de Paris quotes a high officer of
the Russian general staff as saying
that complete reports of the latest
Port Arthur attacks have not yet been
received, but that a consideration of
the information already in possession
of the government shows that in the
bombardment of the night of Feb 23-
"a, three japanese vessels were sunk,
in addition to the transports. An of
fetal dispatch shows that one Japanese
torpedo boat destroyer was sunk, and
the best information at Che Foo indi-
Gates that three such vessels were lost.
II confirm the previous reports" the
correspondent quotes this officer as say
ing, that upon the transports which
menaced the battleship Retvizan. our
electrician discovered wires leading to
internal machines. We estimate that
these checks will have a considera BILE
effect upon the Japanese spirit, but
we must continue to watch in order
to battle the enemy"

RUSSIANS ARE BITTER
AGAINST UNITED STATES.

They Think They May Have to Fight
This Country.
St Petersburg, Feb. 27.-The Bourse
Gazette makes a Washington dispatch,
saying the United States have under
taken to lay a submarine cable from
the Philippine Islands to Japan to pre-
vent the latter's isolation in case the
Russians cut the Shanghai cable, the
subject of a bitter attack upon the
government at Washington, "for this
new evidence of it's breach of neutral
1ty," claiming that the contention of
the United States that the laying of
the cable will be undertaken for the
improvement of trade relations, does
not clear Americas skirts, and inquir-
ing what the Americans would say
If Germany had run a cable from Kiao-
Chou to Port Arthur or Vladivostok."
The news that the United States
have assented to the extension of the
Pacific cable to Japan with the reasons
therefor assigned in the dispatches
from Washington, still further aggra-
Yates the popular belief that the Unit
ed States are siding with Japan
against Russia. The few Americans

upon the changed demeanor of their
Russian friends. Formerly they were
treated with the greatest cordiality,
but now the Russians greet them with
the question, us America our secret
enemy, and will we have to fight her
also before the war comes to an end?"
How deeply the Russians are wound
ed by the belief destined unless
checked, soon to become a conviction,
that America has spurned her old
friend and is now playing a hostile
role, is shown by this severance of
personal ties, of which a striking in
stance occurred this week in a promi-
nent drawing room, when the most in
innate Russian friend Of an American
lady declined her proffered hand Upon
the lady's exclamation of astonish-
ment her friend burst into tears and
said she felt aggrieved at all Ameri-
cans since the reported action of the
commando Of the United States gun

The Value of Charcoal.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
YOU take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestineS and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels. ~
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in ono
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the monav
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges: tbey
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather r.,
the form of large, pleasant tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.

THE JAPANESE STORY
OF THE BOTTLING TRICK
The Russian SearchIights Broke Up
Their Game.

Their Game.
Toxic, Feb. 2T.-The official report
of the naval officers who attempted to
block the entrance to the harbor of
Port Arthur on the morning of Feb.
"a. differs in some respects from the
accounts already printed.
From this report it appears that the
Russian searchliGhts discovered the
approach of the five Japanese steam
ers before they had reached the point
where it was proposed to sink them,
and that the Russian guns disabled
three of the five.
Another new feature is that a por-
ton of the crews from the sunken
steamers were not picked up until the
afternoon of the oath. The report of
the officers. in substance, is as fol-
lows:
Tive vessels. intended to obstruct
the entrance to Port Arthur, advanced
about l o'clock on the morning of the
oath from the southwark through the
Lao Thi Shan channel toward the
mouth OF the port.
1T appears that the Tenshin Maru,
which was in the van, was steered too
far to port, and when she was about
three miles to the southwest of shore
She was run on the shoals. The other
steamers. which were in her wake.
changed their course to the northeast
and advanced, but the enemy's search
lights flashing upon them impeded their
progress. The enemXs fire struck the
steering gear of the Bushu Maru, dis
abling her. She grounded near the
Tenshin Maru and after. striking, her
officers destroyed her and she sank.
Next the Buyo Maru was seriously
damaged by the enemy's fire. She
sank before reaching the harbor en-
trance.
I'm the meanwhile, the Hokoku
Maru and the Jinsen Maru had adj
vanced with great rapidity and had
reached the entrance to the harbor
with considerable difficulty. The Ho-
kuku was out on the outer side of the
stranded Russian battleship Retvizan
and the Jinsen Maru on the eastern
side of the Retvizan. The crews OF
each lighted explosives to destroy the
merchantmen and after giving a loud
cheer, got into their small boats.
when they found their vessels sink
ing the crews endeavored to row to
the Japanese torpedo boats which were
ready to pick them up, but the Rus
slams searchlight lit up their path and
the Russian fire became very severe
The crews in their small boats were
compelled to row around under cover
and they were unable to reach the tor
pedo boats.
THE sea became heavy at sunrise
and the crows suffered great hard
ships. They finally succeeded in
reaching the Japanese squadron at 8
o'clock in the afternoon of the same
day"

Paris, Feb. 2S.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Figaro telegFa phs
that the Russian cruiser Dmitri Don
skoi has captured three steamers fly
ing the British flag which were con-
veying $1,000 tons of coal to Nagasaki.
The correspondent further asserts
that Russia's plan of campaign con-
templates the retirement of Russian
troops without opposing the Japanese
landings, and when sufficient reinforce
ments arrive the offensive will be
taken and Port Arthur will be relieved.

German Emperor Will Meet other
European SoVereigns.

Berlin, Feb. 27.-Emperor William

senger steamer and that fact is given
as the reason for his taking the North
German Lloyd steamer Koenig AL
bert on his twelve-days' trip to the
Mediterranean. The Emperor will go
from Bremerhaven to Vigo, Spain. di-
riot. At the latter place King Carlos
of Portugal will doubtless meet him
and at Gibraltar, where he will stay
two days. His majesty will see the
fortress for the first time. He will
debark also for a few hours at Port
Mahon and will leave the Koenig AL
bert and board the imperial yacht Ho-
henzollern at Messina on March "a.
The gossip regarding the Emperor
meeting President Loubet outside of
Brest is altogether incorrect.

SHOT ACCIDENTALLY
ON A TRESTLE.

Boy Saved by n Companion From
Being Crushed by "a Train.
Waycross, Ga, Feb. 27.-Mr. Arley
James, young son of Mr.. Ben James,
who lives just over the river in Pierce
county, was accidentally shot yester-
day while shooting turtles at the At
lantic Coast Line trestle over the Sa-
tilla river. His gun slipped from his
hand and exploded, the load entering
his left shoulder.
Young James fell on the trestle and
would have been crushed by an ap-
preaching train but for the quick as
sistance of a companion, who drag
ged him from the track. A physician
was summoned and after dressing the
wound expressed the belief that young
James would recover.
