ALExEFF HAMPERS
GEN. KUROPATklN
Continued From First Page

ST. PETERSBURG, July Mill
tary experts believe that the center of
gravity has again shifted to Port Ar
thur, where siege operations are ex-
pected to engage most of the attention
of the japanese until the conclusion of
the rainy season permits the resump-
ton of the campaign in Southern Man
churia. Desultory fighting, however, is
likely to continue for the possession of
the passes.
The Japanese still hold Dalin pass,
while the Russians have captured GU.
dalin pass. The similarity of names led
to the premature announcement of q
Japanese retreat. from Dalin pass. Maj.
Gen. Mistchenko is harrassing and
driving back the Japanese between
Siu-yan and Kai Chou, already inflict-
ing a loss of about 600 in killed and
wounded. The japanese are display
ing the greatest warineSS at this point,
owing to their distance from supplies
and to the prevalence of dysentery.
If They Had Only Known
A war correspondent who has ar
rived from Mukden expresses the opin-
ion that with the rainy season at hand
the Japanese have lost their oppor-
tunity of dealing Gen. Kuropatkin a
crushing blow He says that neither
the world in general nor the Japanese
knew how weak the Russian army was
in the earlier stages of the war, and
asserts that practically the Russian
army was then non-eXistent, but when
he left, June 18, Kuropatkin had 125, 1000
men and reinforeementS were pouring
in at the rate of 1000 per day. Earlier
the correspondent thinks the japanese
could have done anything If they had
pressed the campaign with vigor.
laps Maintain Advance
The latest dispatches are to the eff
feet that Gen. Kuropatkin is still at
Ia Tche Kiao and that the japanese
forces are stationary at Senuchen and
along the roads from Siu-yan to Hal
tcheng, Ia Tche Kiao and Kai Chou,
but they are maintaining their advance
from Feng Wang Cheng over the di-
rect main roads to Liau-yan where
the effect of the rains is less appre-
ciable. There are only twelve miles
between Gen. Count Keller's force and
the Japanese army, and a collision be-
tween them is not regarded as UNI
likely. The Japanese evidently are
hoping in case of success to compel
Kuropatkin, with Gen Stakelbergs
corps, to fall back from Ia Tche Kiao
on Liau-yang and thus force an eyac-
uation of New-chwang.
Rumor Is Dubious
PARIS, July 4-The foreign office
discredits the rumer from Tokyo that
Russia has proposed through France
to surrender Port Arthur If the garri-
son is freed. The Japanese legation
here is also without information re-
garding the report from Tokyo.

Misunderstanding to the dis

IN PANAMA HIGHLANDS.
A Breezy Life Where the Traveller
Seldom Goes.

Few travellers get beyond the main
travelled road in the isthmus, and
hence judge the entire population by
the few impoverished specimens wlo
dwell in huts made of thatch and cor
rugated iron. These are generally a
mongrel mixture of red, black and yel-
low, and form the lowest element of
tn population. But let the traveller go
up beyond Culebra and Obispo, to Cor
gona or San Pablo, and leaving the
train take conveyance into the hill
country to the north and northwest,
and different condition of affairs will
meet his eye.
He will find large and excellently
kept plantations of coffee and rubber.
In many of these modern agricultural
instruments will be found in use and
In the best of order, and at the ha-
ciendas he will find American canned
goods and American clocks, jewetry.
Even the cloth that is worn by rren
and women usually comes from this
country in return for the product OF
the isthmus.
Or, perhaps he will stumble over a
ranch where cattle breeding is the
mainstay. These ranches are of the
typical Spanish type of architecture
and are run very much as the ranches
of Mexico are run. where poems and
half-breeds do all the work, AMI the
owner is small lord who oversees
and superintends when he feels good
and ready, but who never does any
more work than is absolutely neces-
sary
Inc air is purer here, the atmos-
phere less oppressive. The tempera-
ture is many degrees cooler than at
Colon or Panama and the traveller
reels none of the terrible oppression
and mental lassitude that accompan-
les the continuous steam bath at the
cities. The country is thicker popu-
lated and the houses are better, and
the people are cleaner and more self
respecting. They look as if they
oathed occasionally.

THANKS RENDERED.
Jap Admiral by The Japanese House,
For Brilliant Service.

Tokio.-The House of Representa-
tives has passed with enthusiasm and
without dissenting voice a vote of
thanks to Vice Admiral Togo and his
officers for their services to the coun-
try. In his remarks the Minister of
Marine said it was no new thing to be
prepared for emergencies in time of
peace, but that since last October the
japanese navy had been under the ne
cessity of increasing its strength, and
had been constantly ready for action
on account of the action of Russia.
This the minister regretted. Contin-
ing, he said it had been manifest to
every observer that Russia had con-
stantly increased her strength in the
far East, and that had Japan not pur-
chased the. cruisers Nishin and Kasa-
ga from Argentine her naval strength
would have been below that of Russia

QUANTITIES OF SUGAR.
Customs Service in New Orleans Being
Swamped.

New Orleans.-So heavy have be-
come the importations Of sugar into
New Orleans since the 20 per cent.
reduction in duties on Cuban products
went into effect that the customs serv-
ice here has found itself fairly swamp
ed, and on an appeal to the treasury
service extra help has been allowed.
The new duties went into effect De-
cember 25, 1903. The importations for
January have been 6,177,S02, against
none in the same month last year; for
February, 29,S35,237, against 1885,
034 last year; and for twenty-three
days of March 54,S72, ,26O, against s.
564,71S last year. The lower level is
crowded with freighters bringing in
Cuban sugar, most Of which is con-
signed to the American Sugar Refining
Company. 1t is expected that the i'm
portations will continue to increase
and the customs service is making
preparations with that expectation.

GAIN IN DEMAND FOR METALS.
Increased Production of Iron and Steel
Significant.

New York.-Special kilograms from
correspondents of the International
Mrcantile Agency chronicle the custo-
mary irregularity incident to the
breaking up of winter. General senti-
ment among traders is less optimistic
East than West, though nowhere, un-
less it be the Southwest is the demand
for distribution equal to that of year
ago.
In the cotton region there is also
confidence and factors are holding the
staple in expectation of revivalin the
price.
The most significant feature, one
which has almost been ignored at the
East, is the gain in demand for iron,
steel and coke within thirty days, the
increased production of the metals
named, the putting into operation of
plants which have been idle, and symp-
toms of higher prices for some varie-
ties. These are developments which
must precede a general trade recov-
cry.
Improving railway earnings, the
breaking of car congestion and higher
prices for copper furnish additional
reasons for encouragement. One of
Pittsburg's largest mills has sold as
much within three weeks as within
three months preceding and prospec-
tive demand for structural material
there is enormous.
New England cotton mills are run
ming about three days a week, and pro-
badly will do less by June. After run
ming out of old cotton many expect to
shut down altogether. At Philadel-
phia textile mills are running on half
or one-third capacity, but are hopeful
of early improvement.
Spot business in wholesale lines at
Chicago has been checked by the wea-
ther, the volume in staple cottons be-
ing less than normal. The like is true
at New York. Adviees from Oklaho-
ma, Kansas and Ohio are not uniform
ly favorable as to winter wheat. Of
ferings of Kentucky tobacco are large,
but prices tend upward.
