Washington, May 1.-The following telegram, dated May 1, has been received at the Japanese legation from Toklo:
 General Kuriko. commanding the first army, reports that on the 26th of April preparations were made by laying bridges across the Yalu. On the same day de- tachments of the imperial guard and of the second division attacked and dispersed the enemy on islands in the river, and oc- cupied the Islands In these engagements sixteen of the Imperial guard were seri- ously and niae slightly wounded, while there were no casualties in the second di- vision The enemy retreated, carrying many dead and wounded toward Chiu Tfen Cheng. Russian cavalryman taken prisoner said that the twenty-sec- ohd. twenty-third and twenty-seventh in- fantry regiments of the eastern Siberian sharpshooters formed the van of the Rus- sian force.
 Many Dead Horses Found.
 "Ninety-five dead horses were found. From noon of the 26th until the 27th the enemy fired intermlttently upon Win. but no reply was made On the 26th two gunboats, two torpedo boats and two steamers detached from the squadron of Admiral Hosoya, ascended the Yalu and exchanged shots with the enemy on An tzushan and silenced him. The detacb ment suffered no damage
 "On April B two infantry companies of the Imperial guard reconnoitered Hushan, and part of the company was detached to Sitzu Yuen. from which place the enemy fled. leaving five dead. The enemy fired at long range from the neigh borhood of Chiu lien Cheng upon Wiiu without much effect on our works. On April g the Twelfth division commenced bridging the river at Sulxi Chin and com pleted the work early on the morning of the SOth, and the army crossed
 Severe Fighting on All Sides.

COLOR BLINDNESS.
Whisky and Tobacco Held Response.
BILE for Defect.

BILE for Defect.
The crusade which the railroads OF
the country are carrying on against
the use of intoxicating liquors and
tobacco by employees engaged in oper-
ating trains is partly due to the fact,
not generally known, that the poisons
contained in the prescribed articles
produce color blindness, which is a
fatal defect in enginemen, firemen and
trainmen. For more. than 20 years
the diseases of tobacco endlyopia and
alcohol endlyopia, as they are called,
have been recognized by the oculists
as the most insidious and difficult
with which they have to deal. Through
the employment of official occulists
the existence, growing preyalency and
terrible results of these diseases have
become familiar to the arrangements
of many large railway systems.
According to one of the railroad
specialists endlyopia was rarely found
in this country Is years ago, but was
quite prevalent in European and south
ern countries prior to that. Now oc-
culists of good practice in this coun-
try have to deal with quite a large
number of cases yearly, the increase
being due to the increase In nico-
tine and alcohol infection. Endlyopia
in it's first stages produces slightly fail
ing vision, often a smarting of the
eyes, but it is not marked in effect.
The disease does progress far, how
yer, before scotoma, or color blind
ness makes it's appearance. Certain
portions of the eye are unable to rec
ognize the colors green and red, which
are used in railroading as danger and
cautionary signals. To certain por-
tions of the eye these colors will ap-
pear drab, yellow, black or some other
color. As ,he victim cannot recog-
nlze this defect himself, an engineer or
fireman might possess it for months
and not know that he was misinter-
preting signals unless an accident oc-
Cured.
Unless taken in time endlyopia pro-
duces total blindness by killing the
optic nerve If cure is effected and
the patient continues the use of to-
bacco or liquor, as the case may be,
the disease is very likely to recur,
when it is still more difficult to cure.
Eye specialists unite in declaring that
if endlyopia maintains its present ratio
of increase it will not be more than
a quarter of a century before it will
be one of the common eye troubles.
Scotoma is one of the most dreaded
enemies to the safety in train opera
ton, and railroad officials rightly rec
ognize that they must wage unceasing
war against anything which produces
