yAPs CHARGE CRUELTY
Refugees from Port Arthur Tell of
Suffering and Indignities suf-
fered There.

Nagasaki, March s.-Refugess from
Port Arthur report that 10000 Russian
troops were dispatched to Korea at
the beginning of February and that
there We're 10000 troops In the fortress
i'm the middle of February.
Some of the Japanese refugees from
Port Arthur give Il piteous description
of the suffering and indignities inflict-
ed on their countrymen by the Rus
sian soldie1y. 1t appears that on the
afternoon following the naval engage
ment the soldiers completely looted the
Japanese quarter, returning to bar
racks with their booty. Houses We're
stripped of valuables, and they robbed
people of money and jewelry. Men
even We're robbed of their clothes
The rough handling of the men and
the indignities toward the women
caused the Japanese TO fly to the sea-
shore, where they embarked on sam
pans and endeavored to reach Dalny.
The weather was bitterly cold, with a
rough sea. Several We're drowned the
remainder eventually escaping in a
British ship to Chefoo.

RUSSIA is UNEASY.
Advance of the Japanese in Manchuria
Causes the Greatest Of Con-
CORN Now III


ST. Petersburg, March s.-..1uch un-
sasiness has been caused in high cir
lies here by making public the fact
that Japanese troops are practically
overrunning Manchuria along the head
daters of the Yalu, and are now within
$50 miles of kirin and Mukden, and
have control of most of the country
Oh the upper Yalu and along the Turn
fen river
1t is officially stated that $500 Jap
pnese landed February 10 near Song
thin, half way between Yuen-san and
Nladivostok.
Immediately after landing the Japa-
nesc started aross Korea, leaving a
small force to go north along the coast
hnd connect with troops that are be-
licved to be at Possie. bay.
The main body, despite Russian as
surances, had good roads through the
country 1t is now believed to be at
Samsu, where 1t is resting, perpetrators
to a descent upon the fortified town on
the Manchurian side Of the Yalu, at
the junction of the tram roads that lead
to l<irin and Mukden.
Along either road the Japanese can
send raiding parties or. on the contin-
uation of the Kirin road south along
the Korean side of the Yalu. they can
harass any Russian troops that are tn
ere.
That raiders who have gone north, as
we'll as those who have landed at Pos
set bay have not been idle, is shown
by the report that they have destroyed
il portion of the Siberian railway.

Paris, March S.-The Mathis Lon-

the report of a conversation had last
evening with a parsonage intimate
with King Edward, who had just left
the palace. This parsonage said the
king spoke upon the subject of the war
in the far east, and he repeated his
anajesty's words as follows:
II am much distressed at the Russo
Japanese war, which consider a most
eeplorable event. On the other hand, 1
consider that our good understanding

Ut is likely to become more and more
useful, not only in the interest of
France and Great Britain. but in the
higher interest of general peace. Should

France and England will render the
greatest service. That union must be
closely maintained for the good of all.

vladivostok. March s.--A fleet Of flv>
Japanese battleships and two cruisers
appeared off this place and bombarded
the town and shore batteries Tor atty
five minutes.
The fleet approached from the direc-
ton of Askold island, at the east en-
trance to Ussuri bay, and about thirty
two miles southeast of Vladivostok.
Entering Ussuri, the enemy formed In
line of battle, but did not approach to
a closer range than a mile and one
third They directed their fire against
the shore batteries and the town, but
no damage resulted, as most of their
200 lyddite shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries, commanded by
Generals Neronetz and Artamonoff, did
not reply, awaiting a closer approach
of the enemy.
The Japanese fire ceased at 2:2O p. M,
and the enemy retired in the direction
of Askold island. simultaneously two
torpedoboat destroyers appeared near
Askold island and two more near Cape
Maidel. The Japanese ships We're COW
cred with ice.
The attack resulted In no loss to the
Russians, but cost the enemy 100000
rubles ($100.000) in ammunition. Most
of the projectiles were 6 and 12-inch
shells.
The population Of Vladivostok was
warned of the presence on the horizon
of hostile fleet and the prospect of at
tack during the day, but it remained
tranquil.
Say Five Were Killed.
St. Petersburg, March S.-Official
dispatches received here concerning
the bombardment of Nladivostok by a
Japanese fleet Sunday afternoon do not
mention any Russian losses, but pri-
waite advices say that five were killed,
four sailors and the wife of an en-
glneer. 1t is apparent the Japanese
were afraid to risk exposing their ships
to the plunging fire of the land bat
teries, and 1T is considered probable
here that the attack was really for
the purpose of drawing the fire of the
Russian forts, compelling the Russians
to disclose the position and caliber of
their guns, and also for the purpose
of ascertaining whether the Russian
squadron is in port If this was the
object of the Japanese 1T is believed to
have failed signally, as the batteries
did not fire a shot, and if the squadron
is in port 1T could not be seen from the
Japanese position in the bay of Ussuri
ON account of the high land which rises
frmo the coast on that side, obstructing
the view of the harbor.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Ute Boy Injured in Peculiar Manner
Fall From Ladder,

Ute, Ia. March "a son of Peter
Weber, farmer near Ute, met with
very painful accident on Saturday.
The victim. a lad of IA years of age,
had assembled an 1S-foot ladder at the
end of the barn for the purpose of
opening door in the loft. On reaching
the top OF the ladder 1T slid out at the
lower end which rested on Icy ground.
In the descent the boy in trying to save
himself threw himself near to the side
of the building. his face rubbing hard
against the boards as the upper end of
the ladder went to the ground. In the
descent his nose came in contact with
the nails which protruded, the sharp
points entering the nostrils and tearing
his nose in horrible manner. He will
probably be disfigured for the rest of
his life

LIKELY NOT THERE.
Believed the Russian Squadron Ha.
Left Vladivostok.

London, March S.-Only Russian re-
ports on the bombardment of Nladi-
vostok have yet been received, and
these give no indications as to whether
the Russian squadron is still there. Ac-
cording to report from Toxic the Ger
man squadron was seen off Gensan,
Korea, last Thursday, but on this point
there is no reliable information. Specu-
lation, however, mostly inclnes to the
belief that the Russian squadron is not
in port at NladivostolS, as neither the
official nor the other reports of the
bombardment mention Russian battle
ships.
Port Arthur dispatches of Saturday
and Sunday say that everything is
quiet there, and on the Lao-tung pen
insula. The Japanese cruiser squad
ron was seen accommodating off Port
Arthur Friday night during heavy
snowstorm.
The Daily Telegraph's Che Foo cor
respondent says the Russians are still
employing thousands of coolies at Port
Arthur and Dalny on entertainments
and new forts and that they are also
mounting over a hundred guns to pro-
tect the neck of the isthmus.
