Mukden, Dec. 29.-The japanese are
adopting cunning esxpedi.ents to defeat
scouts, from which they have suffered
much. They cover the steep approaches
of their trenches with water, which
freezes, forms ice slides and makes the
scouts slip and fall in confusion. In
other places, the Japanese scatter mil-
let stalks over the approaches, the
cracking Of which underfoot gives
them warning.

Chi-fu, Dec. 29.-The Japanese line
at Port Arthur, as a result Of the gen
eral attack beginning Dec. Is, is much

Chinese who left Port Arthur yes
terday and arrived here today report
that q. greatly inferior Russian force

at range Of two-thirds Of a mile, the
Japanese fearing mines. The Rus
SLAMS retired to Ching ka-koa.
- Japanese who arrived at Chi-fu to-
day from Port Dalny say the recent
fighting also resulted in the capture Of
hill called by the Japanese Yang
thu-ban POSSIBLY Kee-kwan mountain),
enabling the Japanese seriously to har-
ass land communication with the Liao-

and An-tse mountains. The capture
Of Yang-thu-ban hill followed several
night attacks, during one Of which the
Japanese became confused, killed each
other and retired when the mistake was

and the others were caught in this city
About 4:3O o'clock yesterday four young
colored men entered the stable of Constapie

him a horse, harness and wagon. They
only wanted 81 for the outfit, and the con-
stable agreed to make the purchase.

the Office and get your money, salo the
Maryland constable, intending to play the
spider-and-fly act.
When the animal had been placed In
front Of a bundle Of hay and the wagon
pulled out Of sight, two of the men who
had made the sale went to the Office to get
their money, but the others became fright
ened and hurried over the muddy road to-
ward this city.
About the time the constable was teie-
phoning to ascertain If there had been a
team stolen from this city Mr.. Ennis called
at police headquarters to tell of his loss.
Detectives Warren and Horne were in head
quarters at the time, and they went to Hy-
attsville and took charge of Adams and
Thomas.
Later. because of statements made by
them. the detectives went to South Wash
ingtOn and arrested Piper and Kenney.
The wagon that had been sold belonged to
Piper's father. Denials were made by the
prisoners. and each accused the others of
having committed the theft. They will be
given an opportunity to explain when the
case is called in court tomorrow.

Miss Won Unchuld's Recital.

Miss Maria Won Unchulds piano recital
in the ball room of the New Willard yes
terday afternoon was q social financial
the patronage of many distinguished peo-
pie, and the audience was a brilliant and
appreciative one. Her program was a long
one-too long, in fact-but 1t served to dis
play her versatility and her endurance, for
the Liszt Rhapsody with which 1T closed
was played with the same care, the same
intelligence, the same technical skill that
chara cteriZed her opening number, which
was the Beethoven Sonata in sharp mi
nor. This she had played before and her
upon in The Star. 1t was full of dignity,
reverence and musical sentiment and
proved Miss Won Unchuld worthy stu
dent of the great master. Between the two
selections already referred to there were
fifteen distinct numbers-Some of them short
and some of them regular concert numbers
and each was given with an earneStness
of purpose and clarity of execution that
evidence the care taken in the preparation
for her recital. There were five dainty prel-
udes by Heller that seemed to please the
audience, and many would be glad to hear
them again Two Chopin selections were
the Scherzo in b minor and the well-known
funeral march In B fiat minor. LisZt's ar
rangement of Schuberts "Hark, Hark, the
Lark, and the same composers Spinning
Wheel Song from Wagner's "FIvins
Dutchman perhaps received the greatest
applause, although in all her work Miss
Won Unchuld showed herself a performer
OF broad musicianship. of unusual power.
OF delicate imagination. and she i1nder,
stands fully how to handle the Medals the
skillful use of which adds greatly to the
effect of her art ZIG

vIGILANT COMMANDER PRAISED
Work of Ice-Breaking Fleet Appre-
ciated.

In addition to tho commenda ton Of the
District Commissioners, Harbormaster SUIT
ton has lately been receiving expressions
of approval from citizens of Washington
for his efficient and timely work in break
ing up the ice gorge in the Potomac just
above the Three Sisters" Mr.. Sutton to-
day received a letter from W. H. Tenney
& Sons, who are in business on the river
front in which the work done by Mr.. SUIT
ton is highly commended. The letter reads
as follows:
1--WE desire to thank you for the efficient
winter in the harbor of Washington, and
West Washington especially. We consider
that the money expended was fully justi-
fed by the work performed and probably
saved the city thousands of dollars. With
an experience of over thirty years In busi-
ness on the river front. we cannot remem-
ber when the river was in as bad condition
as during the past winter, and If there had
been several days of warm rain Washing
ton would have experienced the worst
freshet in it's history. Even with the very
favorable weather, if the ice had not been
removed below the Three Sisters when
the gorge gave way last Monday we would
have had a serious time, so your work was
not wasted.
I'VE hope in the near future you will
have a boat the size of the Tecumseh,
equipped with an up-to-date fire-fghting
apparatus. to be able to keep the har-
Dor free from ice during the winter and
always ready for service in case of fire on
the river front during the entire year"
