Gunboats and torpedo boats can only

The Russians have several fortified
positions within their line of defenses
seven miles out and under the forts OF

The Japanese fleet is bombarding
Port Arthur daily from a considerable
distance off shore, fearing to attempt
a closer range of fire on account of
danger from Russian mines.
The Chinese, when leaving the town.
had great difficulty in securing provi-
sions and several junks which left re

supplied by the Japanese cruisers

that while the party of Chinese with
whom he arrived were in Port Arthur

Participants.

Toxic. june l0.-Wounded officers
who have returned to Japan from the

details of the battle of Nanshan hill.
After the first Intellectual attack on the
hill the Japanese scouts discoye'ed
that there were mines at some spot at
the foot OF the hill. 1t was deter
minea that they could only be cei-
nitely located by the sacrifice Of some
men. Hundreds volunteered to 90 to
what appeared to be certain Gcath.
They led the second advance ana loand

RUSSIAN OFFICIAL REPORT
DISPATCH FROM PORT ARTHUR
MAKES NO MENTION OF
LAND OPERATIONS.

st. Petersburg, June 10.-The wal
which the officials declare warrants a
contradiction of the reports brought by
Chinese fugitives to Chefoo of four
days land and sea attack on Port Ar
thur and of extensive damage to the
forts
Al Official dispatch from Rear Ad-
miral Wittsoeft, dated June 7, reports
that the enemy has been bombardins
Port Arthur inteImittently from the
sea, but does not mention serious op-
erations from the land side. The gen
eral staff seems certain that the en-.
emys siege guns have not yet been
brought up.
The admiralty is not disposed to
credit the report that the Port Arthur
squadron has left Port Arthur or the
rumor of It's juncture with the Vladi-
vostok squadron, although this Is eyi-
IDENTITY part OF the programme.
If it comes to the worst the Port
Arthur squadron Will go out ALI give
battle. AT the admiralty tne lcpoi tea
action OF the japanese WalsAles II

interpreted, if connl med, as a demon
stratlon To discourage the sending oI q
strong force south against Genera
Oku rear.
The mystification concerning the
strength of the force sent south CON
tinues. The war office, which seem
ingly is not fully advised in regard 10
General kuropatkin's plans, says the
COMMUNICATIVE ability 10 detacD
an adequate force Will depend upon
the number Of troops at General r>u-
roki's disposal, concerning which ap-
parently there is no accurate infofma-
tion here, although the belief is thai
the Japanese commander has about
forty eight battalions at FengMang-
cheng and thirty-six in the vicinity OF
Takushan. The latest intelligence re-
ceiyed at the war Office is to the effect
that the japanese have abandoned
their advance north of Fengwangc
and west of Siuyen. The Russians
are holding Siuyen and Saimatsza.

Japanese Eombard Coast of Liaotung
Peninsula.

Iiaoyang, June 10.-Six Japanese
warships, including one battleship,
participated in the bombardment of
the coast of the Liaotung peninsula
near Kaiehou. After appearing off
Gauntsiatung and Tsangtsiatum they
opened fire as they approached the
latter place. shelling the coast line be-
tween Pudsiatung and Baiosiehay. AT
in the afternoon they shelled Rus
sian scouts near SianbantsZy and were
joined at O'Clock by eleven other
warships, two large and nine small.
1t is possible that the demonstration
was made with the view of landing
troops.
Railroad communication on the Lao
tung peninsula is restored as far south
as Nafangow.
The enemy's outposts were with
drawn from their positions in the Lao
tin pass, on the Siuyen road, June 6.
They are holding a small pass at Mu-
denfu, where the Russians exchanged
shots with the Japanese all day June

AGITATION AMONG CHINESE.
Recent Russian Advices on the Sub ject
Disquietirg.

answered the communication of China
calling attention to the interference Of
the Russian military authorities with
the natives of villages in ManC haria
on the lines suggested in these dis
patches June &, asking for specific in
stances
Recent Russian advices regarding
the agitation among the Chinese are
more disquieting. This Is especially
the case with the news from Kwan
tung province, where, it is pointed out,
the Boxer rebellion of 1900 was start
ed at about this time of the year.
II was announced from ST. Peters
burg June that the Russian govern
ment claimed that the natives were
not molested except where they aided
or abetted Chinese bandits.

Philadelphia, J'fne 10. - Attorney
General Knox joined Henry c. Frick
here during the day and consulted the
Republican leaders regarding the
proposition to make him Mr.. Quay's
successor in the United States senate.
Later Mr.. Knox and Mr. Frick went to
Washington Ii is understood they go
to consult President Roosevelt as to
the adyisability of Mr.. Knox resigning
the attorney generalship to become
senator.
Should the president advise against
such a course the belief prevails here
that Mr.. Knox will retain his cabinet
portfolio and that another Pittsburg
man. probably Francis l.. Robbins, will
be the choice of the leaders.
Former Attorney General Elkin,
William Flynn and Leader Bigelow of
Pittsburg were told of the agreement
which had been reached by the Repub-
lican leaders and all appeared to be
satisfied. Elkin and nigelow were
told that Governor Pennypacker was
willing to appoint any man who was
selected by the Republican leaders.
Senator Penrose stated that no def
mite announcement would be made for
a day or two.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs
are taken out and scraped and pol
ishsd and put back, or they may be
removed entirely; bones are spliced !;
pipes take the place of diseased sec
tons of veins; antiseptic dressings
are applied to wounds, bruises, burns
and like injuries before Inflammation
sets in, which causes them to heal
without maturation and In one third
the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlain Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. 1t is an an
tiseptic aud when applied TO such in
jnries, causes them to heal very
quickly. Ii also alIays the pain and
