RUSSIAN STRONGHOLD COM
PLETELY INVESTED BY JAPS.
Report of Japanese General, Oku-
Manchurian Railway and Telegraph
Lines Cut-Russians Lost Over 5000
Men and Japs 1ooo-Russans Re-
treated in Confusion.

Toxic, May 10.-The report Of Gen.
eral Oku. commanding the second
army which is now operating against
Port Arthur. indicates that that
stronghold is completely invested. The
Manchuria railway was cut at Port
Adams on Friday and at the same time
the telegraph station was destroyed.
General Oku and General Kuroki have
distinct understanding and are work
ing in unison.
The Russian losses to date in the
operation up to the occupation of
Fengwancheng are more than 5000,
while the Japanese have lost less than
1000. The retreat of the Russians from
Fengwancheng was so precipitate that
they abandoned large quantities or
hospital supplies. which have been
turned over to the Japanese field hos
pital service.
Japs Show Strategy.
In directing the recent operations
against the Russians the Japanese
have displayed knowledge of military
strategy that has amazed the foreign
military experts. When General Ku-
roki advanced with his entire army
the divisions of northern Korea were
massed at VIII and Antung and re-
tanned there as second reserve. In
this manner it was possible for the in
vading column to move on without
having any fears Tor their base Of sup
plies.
The invasion OF the peninsula was
not attempted until the Port Arthur
: channel had been completely blocked
up. This was accomplished by Admiral
Toga on May 2, and on the morning
of the Sd he steamed with all of his
feet excepting the cruiser division,
which was left to guard the harbor en-
trance to the base agreed on. where
he met the transport fleet, and escort

ARRESTED

For time last night William
Borcher of the Golden West saloon
had his gray matter permeated with
the idea that he was bigger than the
Spokane police department. AS a re-
suit of that hallucination Borcher
landed at the police station under the
strenuous wing of Officer Snamiska.
Borcher and brother saloon man,
Ernest Koch, had the two hot tamale
women of Second avenue fame in the
Golden West bar. They locked the
doors and went In for noisy time.
The racket attracted the attention
of the policemen, who tried to induce
the quartet to simmer down. Bor-
cher refused to regard the wishes of
the peace guardian and tried to throw
the officer out of the saloon, at the
same time defying arrest.
Rorchers resistance to arrest was
overcome in the mixup that followed
and both men were taken to the sta
ton. being later released on bonds of
$40 each. They will be arraigned to
plead before Judge Hinkle this after
noon.
