The passengers on the Staten Is

spectacle of speed test between a
large hawk and carrier pigeon, in
which the smaller bird won. When
the boat was opposite to Robins

birds. The pigeons rose into the

The japanese victory on the Kwan- Tung Pen
insula appears to grow fuller news comes
in. The varied spellings of Chinese names
caused some uncertainty At first in determin-
ing just where the several actions occurred
and just how far the Japanese had advanced.
Later dispatches make the doubtful points
clear. and show that if our map yesterday was
at all in error it was in not credting the Jap
anese with great an advance as they had
really made. The Nan-Shan-called Nan-Shan
Hill pleonastically, since shan means hill
at which the hardest fight occurred. now seems
to be not the one al the narrowest part of the

Shan station where the Russians planted mines

at the point where the railroad touches the head
of Hand Bay. Shan Chi Li-Pao, from which
the Russians fed after burning the station, is
ar the point where the railroad branches. one
branch running 10 Dalny and one TO Port Ar

The Japanese. then are now between Dalny
and Port Arthur barring all communication
between those places. Dany is thus doubly
isolated, the railroad connecting IL with Port
Arthur having been broken IL the japanese

the ground as they go on, leaving no Russian
force however small behind them. The report
that a considerable Russian force Ia somewhere
at the north of Kin-Chow and IS cut off from
Port Arthur and thus in danger OF capture. is
possibly true. If so. the Japanese will proba-

remains to be seen whether the Japanese will
try to starve Port Arthur out or TO take it by as

certainly do not want to keep Kurokis army

If is to remain idle until Port Arthur is taken.
To carry the Notifications OF Port Arthur by

must remember that the Notifications are not
SO strong at the landward at the seaward
side OF that place. Moreover, the Japanese
seem 10 have formed the habit Of carrying fortl-

things somebody must be able to point out the
specific instances of his offending and prove
that they constitute the crimes charged. 1t IS
