Another Stormy Battle.

General Kuroki's preliminary report,
a summary of which has been made
public, states that at daybreak on Sun
day the Japanese artillery, which dur
ing the night had been posted on the
left bank of the Aalu, opened fire on
the Russian entertainments, which ex.
tended for four miles along the bank
of the river from Kin Lien Cheng to
Yuju Ko. The gunners served their
pieces with frantic energy and shell
after shell burst along the line, anu
one after the other the Russian guns
were dismantled and put out of ser
vice. The fire was kept up until 1880
a. m, when the last of the Russian
guns had been silenced.

Wade the River Under Fire.

Immediately general assault was
ordered, and despite a severe rifle
fire which filled the air with nail, the
intrepid Japanese wadea the river,
which in places was up to their waists
and were soon on the right bank. 1t
had been planned that the lines would
reform so soon as the Manchurian
bank was reached, but there was no
stopping the soldiers, and with their
bayonets fixed to the muzzles of their
pieces they swept up toward the Rus
sian trenches. 1t was beyond the pow
er of human beings to check this
charge, and in exactly As minutes the
Russian position had been captured
and the army of 10000 men was in
full retreat toward Feng Huan Cheng,
The bugle ordering the charge sound
ed at S:15 and at 9 o'clock the entire
line of Russian entertainments, four
miles in length, was in the possession
of General Kuroki's men. The Russians
left many dead and wounded in the
abandoned trenches, as well as a mum
Der Of cannon, which they had been
unable to keep with them in their hur
ried retreat.

Toxic People Delighted.

The scenes in Toxic this morning
have been filed ali night with anxious
people waiting to hear the latest news
from the front Unfortunately, beyond
the fact that great Japanese victory
had been won, there is little else to be
learned If the war Office has re-
ceived a complete report it is with
held for strategical reasons.

Did Not Follow the Russians.

No attempt was maze to follow the
Russians toward Feng Huan Cheng.
All that had been planned by the gen.
erals staff had been gained and base
in Manchuria, which is so necessary
to ultimate success, had been secured.
The second army is now crossing the
Yalu without encountering any opposi-
ton, while the Japanese are in a po-
sition to land the feet of transports,
on which the third army is at present
being embarked, in the wide mouth Of
the Yalu at the very point where Gen
eral Kouropatkin boasted a week ago
that the Russians would always re-
main. 1t is understood that the mikado
has telegraphed his personal congratu-
lations to General Kuroh and his com
mand, through whose valor the battle
of Kiu Ling Cheng has been won.

JAPS WON fierce BATTLE
FIRST LAND ENGAGEMENT OF
JAP-RUsso WAR.
Russian Army of 10000 Completely
Routed and Compelled to Retreat
Their Losses Very Heavy-Japs Had
to Wade YaIu River While Under
Fire-Second Battle Occurs.

Toxic. March 1.-THE war Office has
received a dispatch from General Ku-
roki, commanding the japanese ad-
vance, which tells of a complete Japan
ese victory in the first general engage
ment on land of the war. The Russian
army of $4,000 which General Kouro-
patkin boastfully declared would sweep
the Japanese into the sea is completely
routed and was compelled to retreat
in confusion on Feng Huan Cheng.
The Russian losses are very heavy,
while those OF the Japanese are de-
clared to have been much smaller than
might have been expected, considering
that they had to wade the Yalu river in
the face of witnering nre from the
Russians, who were very strongly en-
trenched. The Japanese soldiers fought
with desperate courage and after lhe
Russian artillery had been silenced
by the Japanese guns they carried the
Russian entertainments in a gallant
bayonet charge, in which the officers
strove to be the first to reach the in
terror of the Russian positions.
The unquenchable valor which re-
suited in the uninterrupted series of
victories during the war with China
was again very much in evidence.
Nothing could stop the troops, who,
tired with their long stay in the
trenches near Win, were anxious to
show that the army was fully as able
to bring honor to the mikado's cOlOrS
as has been the navy

this season would seem to be to serve
as a background for ornaments.
1t is nothing unusual to have six

large. and decidedly conspicuous.
Combs come now in sets of three.
wo are not sufficient and he larger
and more elaborate they can be III

Ii. IS essential hat the hair should

According 10 the style that is most
becoming, woman may wear her
hair either high or low, but beyond
that she has no latitude. 1t must bc

One of the newest styles for when
combs are especially made IS one that
recalls the old French coil of
eighteen or twonty years aeo.
It is=part of hieh coitfure. and IS
made by spreading ihe first twist s.
that it extends from Just a little above
the neck % the top Of The head. In
former days This was made tight, and
then pinned closely. Now ii IS loose
and is held by one long comb which
has projecting ornaments on h
back.
These slip over she coil. holding ii

ART OF THE WAR.

The newspaper art of this war is
aminer files appears picture OF
Russian troops passing through a
Manchurian town to the front" In
stead of showing the soldiers picking
their way through a rough and crooked
! lane down the middle OF which an open
sewer runs-a wavy ribbon of a street
between one story stone houses which
present an unwindowed front, the art
list has drawn n wide column of troops
marching, well-aligned, over n smooth
thoroughfare between vague houses,
the stateliness of which is half revealed
in n high arched door. The male deni-
zens of the town instead of having the
ordinary dress of Chinese and Man
chus, are attired as Koreans. with
white robes and broad brimmed stiff
gauze hats, the women wearing nom
descript gowns never seen either In
Manchuria or Korea.
In the Australian files just arrived Is
a picture labeled Japanese Troops on
the March in Korea" True to life, the
sketch would have shown the little
brown men, huddled in gray blanket
overcoats, hustling through a squalid
village the houses of which, with their
rounded tops, looking not unlike Eski-
mo huts; or perhaps the same troops
threading a narrow dingy lane between
small tile-roof habitations, the kind
that are built in the better part of
Seoul. But instead, stalwart fellows,
in white caps, braided blue coats and
white duck trousers are parading
through a typical japanese city with
artless Geisha maidens in rickshas
watching them go by-a veritable sum-
mer day scene in Toxic.
Another example of the art that
guesses rather than knows is given on
the first page of this Advertiser in a
picture that was taken from an Aus
tralian exchange. The picture repre-
sents the capture of a Russian trans
port by a japanese battleship-the lat
ter being a type of vessel that does not
chase transports, especially those of
the greyhound class. The two vessels
are within a few hundred yards of each
other but the Russian has not yet
stopped, despite the fact that the Jap
anese could long since have blown her
out of water. AS a mere reminder of
her neglect the battleship Is sending a
shell across the transports bow from
the forward twelve-inch gun, instead
of using one of the smaller guns as the
regulations provide. No such scene |
is likely to occur in war, but the |
picture is an eye-catching one, which |
is all the artist probably cared for
AS soon as war artists at the front |
are given a fair chance, the world will

THE TITLES OF LAND.

The incident at Hilo, where purchas-
ers of real estate paid for lots without
knowing that the property was mort
gagged, shows that the old, careless way
of buying and selling land in these
Islands has not yet been reformed.
Elsewhere no one buys a foot of realty
without getting a clear title first, one
attested by an abstract; but here a re-
quest for such a thing is met by stare
of surprise or by the remark 1T is not
the custom in Hawaii"
But it ought to be. That is why the
Torrens land court was instituted and
why private companies have put large
sums into the abstract business. 1t is
easy to get a clear title nowadays and
it is unsafe to go without.
There are a great many people in
Hawaii, aside from those in Hilo, who
might learn something surprising If
they Were to go into the Torrens court
and put their land titles to the test.

THE RICHARDSON CASE.

If, as reported, a committee of the
Legislature found a shortage in Vivian
Richardson's accounts, the public
as to why the facts We're suppressed.
Was an arrangement made with An
drew Brown by which Richardson was
to stay in Office until he had paid back
the money? Such a story is current
and it is not at all out of character
with the amazing lenity towards Off
cial culprits which has so often been
shown by good men in Hawaii and was
exhibited in its worst form when Treas
urer Wright was given time enough in
which to escape under the plea that he
needed a few hours in which TO raise
funds TO replace those he had stolen.
There seems to be an impression in Ha-
wall, especially among officials, that
embezzlement is "A venial offence If 1t
is committed by "a good fellow or by
an Hawaiian and that it can be atoned
for by paying the money back. Such
n belief indicates "A low order of public
morality. The Advertiser agrees with
the Governor that it Is time TO adopt
the American standard OF accountable
ity; and while II is heartily sorry that
Andrew Brown is involved in the
Richardson case to the extent of shield
ing the young man from punishment,
IL believes that only good can come
from the adoption of the rule that a
crime must be treated as crime and
not as peccadillo.

the Gulf of Pechili and marks the
eastern terminus of the great wall Of
China and may be considered an i'm
portant strategic point. Recently the
Chinese are reported to have sent thou
sands of troops to this place to hold
them in readiness for protection of the
Chinese Eastern railway, which runs
from Peking to Newchwang, Manchu
ria, in case Russia should violate Chi
nese neutrality and endeavor to march
on Picking. Recently the Russians have
disputed the right of the Chinese to
place so many troops along this line as
guards. The troops of the allied pow
ers occupied Shang-hai-Kwa during
the Boxer troubles of 1901 and still have
garrsons. The Italians and the French
camp in an old fort which is under
the guns of a larger fort occupied by
the Chinese, the English, represented
by a command of Indian infantry, are
in barracks on the beach near the Rus
sian camp; and at times American ma
rines guard the consulate. Friction
always goes on between these various
troops but there has never been an
outbreak 1t is quite possible that
Shang-hai-Kw before long, will have
Japanese troops by way of variety. the
point being a strategic one which Rus
STA has not been able to cover. 1t
ought not to be difficult for Japan to
seize 1t for the time being and then
make reparation to China.
