LATEST War News.
Reestab!ishment of Communica-
ton With Port Arthur
Only Temporary.
An Ammunition Train Gets in-..japan.
ese are Expected to Occupy Hal
cheng and Command Lao Tung
Peninsula.

st. Petersburg, May 12, 3.35 a. m.
Impending events Of great import
ance to the military situation in Man
churia are foreshadowed in official dis
patches given out late last night by
the war commission.
On May 9th the japanese forces
cautiously moved from Feng Wang
.Cheng towards Hal Cheng, which is
90 miles east by north Of New Chwang
and it is the opinion Of the general
staff that they should certainly reach
their destination within two days.
IF the japanese occupy Hal Cheng
with Port Arthur effectively cut off,
New Chwang, which the Russians
have already dismantled, would pass
into their hands. The entire Lilac
Tung peninsula in fact, save Port Ar
thur, and perhaps Kai Ping, would be
commanded by them. The satisfac-
tion felt at the reestablishment Of
communication with Port Arthur is
increased by the knowledge that a
trainload of ammunition has been
safely delivered to the fortress.
This was done in the presence of the
enemy's army which landed at Pitsewo
and which is apparently on the eve of
being reinforced by another division
on board 80 transports now lying off
Port Adams.
With such a large force of the enemy
before Port Arthur it is we'll under
stood here that it is only a question
of days, perhaps hours, before COM
munication is again cut of. 1t is
predicted that there will be a daring
attempt at a repetition of the plan to
get ammunition into Port Arthur.
One fact mentioned in the official
dispatches on which the authorities
lay stress is the action Of the Chinese
in saving a japanese detachment from
Cossack ambuscade. Such incidents
as these can only lead, it is stated,
to Gen. Kuropatkin's taking deter
mined measures. He cannot have the
enemy within as well as outside the
lines.

Dog Tax in Cecil.

The County Commissioners of
Cecil have determined that owners
of dogs shall pay the tax imposed,
and that in view of the fact that
for years past, Notwithstanding the
thousands of dogs in the county,
but few hundred dollars have
been collected, barely sufficient to
pay the claims of persons having
sheep killed or injured by dogs, as
provided by law, they have pre-
pared a bill which, if passed, will
take the matter Of collection out OF
the hands of the County Treasurer
and place the responsibility in the
hands of constables.
The bill makes the tax levied 81
per head and constables receive a
compensation not exceeding 25 per
cent of the whole amount of such
tax collected. The bill also pro
vides that should the constable re.
fuse to perform his duty he shall
be removed from office.
