In Earlier Bushes Every Man Was Shot Down Before
 Reaching Trenches
LAPS AGAIN AND AGAIN
 RUSHED INTO THE FRAY
By Lucky Stroke They Discovered Wires Leading to Russian Mines and Cut Them, Thus
 Opening Break.

TolSio May 2S--4;SO D. m.-The Ja- panese assault on Nanshan Hill was one of the iercest and bloodiest affairs in modern warfare. In the earlier rushes of the engagement every man participating was shot down before he reached the first line of Russian trenches. It was found necessary to stop these infantry charges and renew the artillery fire from the rear before the final and successful assault on the Russian position could be made The success of this assault was brought about by one detachment of Ja- panese troops. more intrepid than their comrades, who succeeded in piercing the Russian line.
 A splendid stroke of fortune was the discovery and destruction by the Japanese of electric wires leading to the mines at the eastern foot of Nanshan Hill. This prevented the Russians from exploding these mines when the Japanese infantry crossed the ground where they had been placed. It is possible the fortune of the day hinged upon these mines. If the Rus sians had been able to explode them at the right time the losses among the Japanese troops would have bene tre- r1endous and 1t Is possible also that the Russians would have been able 10 hold the hill

Many Claims Against Panama.

All the claims which for one tsing or another have been piling up in the state department for the last twenty years against the governments of Colombia and Panama promise to be brought out at an early date and presented for payment, the Panama treasury now being full.
 A representative of L. Schepp & Co., the millionaire cocoanut dealers of New York, called at the department today and presented a claim for S200000. One of their vessels containing cargo of cocoa- nuts was seized by the ColomSan gov- ernment in 1896 and detained 70 long that the fruit was spoiled. Capt. J. L. Pearcy of Nashville. Tenn. who was consul at Panama at that time, has filed with the department statement bearing out the complaint of the claimants.

laps Have an Understanding.

St. Petersburg. May 2S-News in the dispatch to the czar from General Kuro- patkin under date of May 27. is all that was officially given out tonight.
 While the dispatch was brief it is re- garded as extremely significant.
 The fact that the Japanese commenced to advance along the main Liao Yang road as soon as they had forced the neck Of the Liao Tung peninsula and cut off Major General Fock from any co-opera- tion with the Russians in the north, shows thorough understanding between te Japanese commanders
 The authorities believe the advance from Feng Wang Cheng has only been sus- pended pending the elimination of Fock's force, and they expect that the advance to Liao Yang will now be pushed in earnest l is evident that the continual sl1irmishing by the advance posts of the Japanese around Feng Wang Cheng has been successful in masking the real force consisting of the third army which is moving north from Takushan.
 It Is expected that this force will be hurled Liao Yang, while the southern Japanese force is busy before Port Ar thur The fact that there is almost a complete suspension of press messages from Russian correspondents at the front, is taken to indicate that important move ments are pending.
 Believe in Submarine Boats.
 The Russians are so convinced of the efficacy of submarine boats that many of the wealthiest and most influential peo- pie have formed an association to pro- mote the construction of vessels of that class as being ideal defensive craft and such as are required by pacific power like Russia"
 Count Sheremetif has contributed s1000O0 and Midshipman Soldatieke has subscrib- ed $2O, 600 towards the fund being raised to build submarine boats.
 Two sailors who rescued Grand Duke Cyril at the time of the sinking of the battleship Petropavlovsk have been made Knights of St. George.

Wae spIendidIy Defended.

Nanshan was splendidly defended. Nearly fifty guns of various sizes were mounted on the various emplaeements and there were also two batteries of quick-firing field pieces. The artillery was sheltered behind loopholes trenched on the terraces of the hill. The infantry manning the field pieces ran with them around the hill thus using these guns for the protection of the most import ant points.
 The Japanese began the fight by bring ing all their field guns into action and concentrating their fire on the emplaee- ments on the hill. By II o'clock in the morning the principal Russian batteries had been silenced. The two Russian field batteries then withdrew to Nan Quan Ling hill and from there con tinued to fire on the Japanese until night fall.

Advanced Within Rifle Range.

After the Russian batteries had been siIenced the Japanese artillery opened on the enemys trenches, the Japanese infantry advancing meanwhile to within rifle range. The Japanese gradually work ed forward to within 200 meteres of the Russian lines, where they encountered wire and entanglements. They succeeded in discovering an opening in these ob- stacles and getting finally to within 200 meteres of the Russian trenches, they rushed for the line.
 Several successive charges were made, but every officer and man in the attack ing parties was shot down within twenty CT thirty meteres of the line. The charges were then stopped and the Japanese artil- lery renewed it's preparatory fire on the enemys position. Towards evening a de- tachment of Japanese carried q section of the Russian trenches, breaking through the enemys lines. Hundreds of the com rades of these men inspired by their suc- cess, sprang forward and then the entire Japanese line swept up the hill driving the Russians from their positions It was in the desperate infantry charges that the Japanese sustained the bulk of their losses.

 He celebrated his seyentieth birthday at Beaver last fall, and at the time seemed In excellent health. The loss or weight, however, weighed constantly on his mind He dropped in weight so per- sistentlv that the alarm which pervaded his own mind spread to friends and fam ily The result was that he forsook ms duties In the senate and betook himselr to Florida.

One of His Last Requests Was to Be Carried to Ills Famous Library for Last Look at

Beaver. Pa. May 2S-Matthew Stanley Quay, senior senator from PennsSlVahia' died peacefully this afternoon of chronic sastritis.
 The funeral service will be held on Tuesday, May si. and the body VIII be buried in Beaver cemetery
 Senator ouay's indisposition began about a year ago. It was a recurrence of the trouble that beset him during the latter part of 1s0o and the early days Of January, 1901. when he was undergoing the strain of a campaign for reelection to the senate.
 Never strong man physically, senator Quay prided himself on his endurance and held firmly that outdoor life would restore him to health. It was this thought that took him to the Maine woods for several successive summers.
 Colonel Quay. in health, was a great eater, and his troubles of later years dated, it is said from oyerdraughts on his system due to heavy eating, smoking and the great nervous strain which he un- derwent
 Last summer after the political situa- ton had cleared up in Pennsylvania, Quay went to Maine, travelling miles and living in the open. At that time he com plained of weakness and continued loss oi strength.

BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, May Especial. )-There is a great deal being said in democratic circles these days about the availability of George B. Mcclellan for the democratic nomination for President In fact the young, brilliant and popular mayor of New York city has real live Presidential boom on his hands, and there are many who predict that affairs will so shape themselves at St. Louis that he will be nominated and the party will be in a posi- ton to go into the campaign with a posi- tive candidate and one who can enthuse the democrats from one end of the coun- try to the other Democrats who are talking about Mcclellan as candidate argue that there are many strong points in his favor
 He is young and aggressive a man of scholarly attainments. has had experience and has always demonstrated his capa- lilties in whatever post he has been placed. His record in public office has been an admirable one, and his success
 in administering the office of mayor has exceeded even the expectation of his friends and supporters. He has even sil- enced the harshest criticisms of his critics during the mayoralty campaign. MT. Me- clelan has always been regular, but at the same time conservative. He has never in- cured the ill-will of Mr Bryan, but on the contrary il Is intimated that he would be quite acceptable to the Nebraskan and his following.
