some people call Indian bread" ;"
and others call "wild potatoes. :"
This one was white and little
spongy inside, has vine that re-
sembles a sweet potato vine, and has
laroe white blossoms on it. 1t meas
ured twenty-six inches long, twenty
three and a half inches wide, and

IN MAD DISORDER
RUSSIANS LEFT THEIR WOUNDED
COMRADES TO DIE
ON THE FIELD OF KIULIEN CHENC
Estimated by Russian Officers That
1924 of Their Men Met Death,
While 1881 Were Left Wounded
and Dying Upon the Battlefield
Retreat Results in Complete Rout.

st. Petersburg, May S.-The en-
peror has received dispatch from
Gen. Kuropatkin giving the report OF
Lieut-Gen Zassalitch of the Russian
losses in the battle of Kiulien Cheng.
The report states that Maj. Gen. Kash.
talinsky was injured in the head by
stone. The brunt of the fighting.
Gen. Zassalitch says, was borne by
the Eleventh and Twelfth rifle regi,
ments and the Twenty-second regi.
ment. The fighting was so desperate
that the Russian regiments were
obliged to make several counter at.
tacks and cut way for themselves
with the bayonet against the enemy,
who were five times stronger than the
Russians and were supported by
numerous artillery.
In this fight So terrible, but glorious
for the Eleventh and Twelfth regi.
ments, the losses in killed were four
officers, including the commander of
the Eleventh and 4S1 non-commis.
stoned officers and men. The wound.
ed were one officer and 801 non-com
missioned officers and men and a
Chaplain, while 700 others were left
on the field.
Gen. Zazzalitch confirms the re.
ports of the enormous mortality
among the artillery horses, and con.
cludes his report as follows "Our
losses on April SO and May 1, alto
gether, amounted to seventy superior
and subaltern officers and 1924 men
killed, wounded or taken prisoners,
Besides these 1881 were left on the
battlefield, but 1t is not known
whether they We're killed or wounded.
''In consequence of the heavy losses
in men and battery horses and the
difficulties encountered in the roadlcss
country, it was absolutely impossible
to bring away the guns and machine
guns.
The Eleventh and Twelfth regi-
ments, Notwithstanding their heavy
losses, were reformed in good order
under the protection of the Third
rife division, which did not partici.
pate in the fight but was brought Up
to cover the retreat"

Political Manual.

If an appropriation sufficient to
pay for printing can be secured
Secretary of State John W. Morton
proposes to have published an official
political manual of Tennessee. Only
one other similar publication has
been issued, in 1890, by Charles A..
Miller, and the copies have long ago
been exhausted. Captain Morton
proposes to give statement of facts
and statistics which will make a
complete political history of Ten
nessee, including directory of per-
sons holding offices in each county.
The next legislature will be asked
for an appropriation.

WILL EVAcUATE NEW cHWANo,
Every Indication That the Russians
Are Preparing to Leave.

NV SFo'" ~ -ScNS'
New Chwang, May S.-There is
every indication that the Russians
have decided to evacuate New
Chwang. Troops have been leaving
here all day long Forts have been
dismantled and all artillery has been
placed on board trains. All the local
transportation has been com.
mandeered by the Russian authorities.
There is current here native rumor
that Japanese troops are in Foo Chou
Bay ton the west side of the Lao
TuLg reninsual, and about sixty miles
north Of Port Arthur but this report
lacks confirmation.
The fear is held here that IL the
Russians leave and the Japanese do
not at once take possession of New
Chwang, the brigands, who are now
across the river near Ying Kow will
pillage the place. The foreign resi-
dents are prepared to resist the
brgands should they come over. The
British consul has requested that a
gunboat be sent to New Chwang.
The Russians probably will destroy
the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving.
The vessel is at New Chwang.
Japanese troops fired on what prob.
ably was the last train out of Port
Arthur as it passed near Port Adams
They used artillery and small arms
and killed or wounded several Chi
nese.
1t is reported here that Viceroy
Alexieff was slightly wounded prior
to his departure from Port Arthur
He barely escaped from there before
the Japanese closed the lines of com
munication.
The Russian general staff have
moved from Lao Yang to Mukden.
Russians here will not talk OF the
situation for fear that they may i'm
part some information. They do not
consider that their forces here are
sufficient to hold this section of the
country. 1t is probable the Russian
troops will withdraw to Hardin.
The Russian civilians at New
Chwang are leaving hurriedly and
many natives are fleeing the city fr
fear that they will be subjected tc
maltreatment at the hands OF : the
! brigands.

RUSSIAN LOSSES HEAVY.
Total Casualties at Feng Wang Chung
Amounted to 5000.

Washington, May S.-The Japanese
legation has received the following
dispatch, dated Toxic, May 8:
"Gen. Kuroki, commandapt OF the

ing forests and villages, continue to
come out and surrender.
Natives say that the number OF
Russians who were carried on litters
through Feng Wang Cheng on May 2
amounted to 800. 1t Is believed that
the total casualties Of the enemy ex-
ceeded 3,000 Our army which landed
on Lao Tung, reports a detachment,
after repulsing a small body OF the
enemy, occupied Pu Ian Tien on May
6 and destroyed the railway and cut
