TIBETAN BATTLE
WAS A SHAMELESS
MOVED DOWN BY BRIToNS,
ILI.-ARM1D TIBETANS YET ESSAY
ED TO FIGHT.

I1net0ns Could Not Reach Their
Enemy for the Close Quarters in
Which Their Only Hope of Victory
Lay-Tibetan General and His Per-
EOnal Escort Slain - Retreating
Tlbetans Were Torn by ShrapneI.
Tuna, Tibet, April 2.-The Tibetan
general, the whole of his personal es-
cort and five high Lhassa officials We're
among the hundreds killed in the fight
ing of March 81, at Guru, Tibet.
The small British losses are ac-
counted for by the fact that the Tibe-
tans were so huddled together that
the majority were unable to either
use their swords or to fire. The swords
men in the front rank could not reach
the Sikhs, who had fixed bayonets,
while the men in the middle of the
mob could not reach the enemy, but
many of them probably killed one an
other in the mad excitement.
The scene recalled old time fights
in cockpits, the grim, determined faces
of the Tfbetans, lighted with devildom
savagery, expressing contempt for the
Sikhs, whom they outnumbered six Or
When the Lhassa general fired the
first shot the Tibetans, with wild
shouts, drew their swords, fired their
matchlocks and surged forward About
a dozen swordsmen made a desperate
rush in the direction of Col. MacDon-
aid and small knot of officers.
Four Tibetans attacked Mr.. Gambler,
the correspondent of the London Daily
Mail, but Col. Macdonald seized
rifle and shot two of them at a few
yards and another officer killed the
other two, thus saving Mr.. Candler's
life.
Those of the Tibetans who tried to
climb the wall were met with a ter
rible magazine rifle fire, but they did
not falter, those behind springing over
the heaps of dead and continuing the
fight until riddled with bullets. When
finally the Tibetans retired they
tramped back slowly and steadily,
though followed by a hail of bullets.
A mountain battery was brought into
action and tore the retreating lines
with shrapnel. A terrible trail of dead
and dying marked the line of march.
At length the last wounded, limplng
Tibetan turned the corner, some 400
yards from the scene of the grim
tragedy, where the best of the Tibetan
army had perished.

without PrOVOcatiOn.

received here tonight that James
Johnson was shot and instantly killed
by hummer Spicer, at the mouth of
Gorge creek, ten miles south of here.

b. Marcum, who was assassinated in
the Breathitt county Court House door
a year ago, and Spicer is cousin
of Sheriff Ed Callahan, a leader CT
the faction which is charged with
bringing about Marcum's death.
The presence of the militia in Jack
lson until nearly Christmas had a
quieting effect in Breathitt county.
Johnson is a son of Mrs. Mary john
son, sister of Marcum, who was an
important witness in the case against
Curtis Jett and Thomas White, con-
victed of Marcum's assassination.
Spicer has been arrested.

EVENTS IN THE EAST.

Russians have ceased to operate
the railroad across Lake Baikal
because the ice is breaking up.
They found the railroad of incal-
culable value in the transportation
of troops.
Press boat arrived at New
Chwang, with two Japanese serv-
ants aboard. The Japs were prompt
" arrested and will be held as pris-
oners. The press boat has been
ordered awav.
The Custom House at Vladivo-
stok is to be closed because the
war has cut off business.
Russians bury the Japanese who
were killed in the last attack
upon Port Arthur. Military shon-
ors are shown the dead.
1t is reported that 1000 Russian
cavalry and infantry are entrench-
ed about the gate on the south
side of WiJu.

Field Marshal Yamagata, who, after
sthe Emperor, is first in command of the
Japanese forces and was the original
organizer of the Japanese army, said
To-day that the Japanese may have
10 fight odds of two to one and that
the clash may come at the Yalu river.
The Marshal said:
Russian troops have been coming
south for long time, and it is evil
Eent that a conflict must result. AS
