LONDON, May IA NIukden dis.
patch says Pulatien, near Port Adams,
on the Liaotung peninsula has again
been occupied by the japanese and
communication with Port Arthur is
again cut OFF
Advices from Tokyo say the Japa-
nese torpedo bout No. 4s has been
blown up while removing mines from
Kerr bay, north of Port Dalny. Sev-
en- men were killed, and seven were
wounded
This is the first warship Japan has
lost in the war.
The torpedo boat was lost during a
series of bombardmcnts and surveying
operations at Talienwan, Uecp and
Kerr bays by Admiral Kutaoka, com
mander Of the Third squadron. The
admiral arrived nj Kerr bay early in
the morning and detached the cruisers
Itsukushima, Nlsshin and Miyako, or
dering Them to lombard the land bat
teries while a fiotilla OF torpedo boats
swept the harbor for mines.
A second tlotilla Of torpedo boats,
which had been engaged in guarding
Port Arthur the previous night, Joined
the squadron and began the work Of
surveying the harbor. The Miyako
discovered u company Of Russian in
fantry and a detachment of cavalry
on shore and dispersed them.
Two torpedo boats that were recon
noitcring and removing mines in the
west shore of Kerr bay discovered a
telegraph line running along the Ia
kushan peninsula. TO destroy il Lieu
tenant Hotta and four sailors landed
and scaled the heights under the pro-
lection Of the guns of the torpedo boats
and cut the line. The japanese YES
sells then discovered three bodies of
Russian troops, one large and two
small ones, whereupon the squadron
advanced close to the shore and shell
ed them.
Torpedo boats Nos. 4S and 40 dis
covered a large mechanical mine in
Kerr bay. Their various attempts to
blow it up failed, and it suddenly eN-
ploded Of itself, cutting No. As in two.
The torpedo boat sank in seven min
utes. The squadron hurried boats to
the rescue and picked up the wound
ed. Three other mines were discov-
cred and exploded.
A LiaOyang dispatch says the ad-
vance guard of the First japanese ar
my has appeared six miles below Lien
chenkuan, on the road to LiaOyang.
1t is not making any further advance,
but is erecting strong fortifcations.
The Japanese movements were made
with the gpeatest care.

VERr1ONT FOR
JUDGE PARKER
According TO Hon. Bradley B.
SmaIIey Of Burlington.

Burlington, May 13.-Bradley B.
Smalley, of this city, the well known
Dmocraticleader, was asked to-day
by representative of the st Albans
Messenger as to the probable action Of
the Vermont Democratic state conven-
tion to be held in Burlington June %.
Mr. Smalley said:
From what l can learn of the views
of the Democrats of Vermont a very
large majority are infavor of the nom
ination of Judge Parker as their can
didate for president. If the Democrats
can elect anyone l think it will be
Parker, and have no doubt but what
he can carry the state of New
York. Vermont Democrats have
never instructed their delegates as to
how they should vote in a convention
and do not believe they will do it
now. They will doubtless send dele
gates to st Louis in whom they have
confidence and will leave the question
as to how they shall vote With them,
though if instructions we're to be given
they would follow the lead OF New
York, Connecticut, and Indiana, all
of which states we hope to carry, in
stead of North and South Dakato,
Hawaii, New Mexico, and Iowa"

slipped his hand between the feed rolls
of a iinisher.
The fngures and hand we're badly

of his companions in throwing off the
belt, he would probably have lost his
arm and perhaps his life. He was as
sisted to the Office of a doctor where
the wound was dressed.

James A. Peterson first issued the

Altho he had never lived with his
wife, whom he married nine years ago,
Joseph La Brash, who resides in North

in police court that he must support
her. Judge Holt ordered him to pay

She said that he had married her nine
years ago and that he had lived with
her only part of the time. She is i'll

that he had not lived with her and did
not want to support her. When given
the alternative Of paying her 81 week
