ANxIolsLY AWAITING NEWS.
Believed In Toxic Naval Battle Has
Taken Place.

Toxic, March lot Is believed here
that there has already been decisive
naval engagement in the vicinity OF
Vladivostok and tidings of it are anx-
iously awaited The Japanese feet did
not, it is said, go to Vladivistok for
the purpose of bombarding the town,
but TO locate and attack the armored
cruisers Gromoboi, Rossia, Rurik and
the cruiser Bogatyr, the Russian feet
stationed there.
II is understood here that when the
Japanese feet arrived there on Sun
day last it found the Russian squad
ron absent. II this is true ii gave the
japanese squadron advantages in the
way Of avoiding battle close to the In
shore batteries, at the same time put
ting ii in position TO prevent the
Russian ships re-entering the harbor.
II is doubted that the Japanese with
drew their entire squadron unless the
location of the enemy had been dis
covered, as IL meant surrendering the
advantage of being In a position be-
tween the enemy and the enemy's $
base
There is strong possibility that
the Japanese found the Russian ships
In the vicinity OF Possiet bay and gave
them battle there The names and the
number of the ships In the Japanese
squadron have been kept secret, but
1t was probably sufficiently strong to
divide into two divisions, the one to
guard Vladiyostok and the other to
cruise In search of the Russian ships.
The Japanese are quite confident in
the ability of their squadron TO sig
naly defeat the Russian ships and
laughingly say that the big Russian
cruisers, which stand unusually high
out OF the water, make excellent tar
gets.

Japs Threaten Line of Communication
in Manchuria.

Washington, March l0.-The govern
ment here has received cable advices
from Chefoo. opposite Port Arthur, TO
the effect that Japanese land forces
have appeared at Fungwangchang and
al Tashan. No details are furnished.
The first named place is about forty
five miles north of Antung, in Manchu.
ria, and the latter is few miles in
land from the mouth of the Tau river.
according to the calculations of the
naval officers here. They believe that
this movement has placed the Jap
anese ON the Russian flank and per.
haps in the rear and on their line of
communication. .
II is believed that Tuesdays attack
upon Port Arthur and Talienwan was
q diversion, perhaps to cover this ex-
peditious land movement of the Jap
aneSe forces who were probably land
cd from transports some point west
OF the Yalu river.

that Panama did not now exist as a
free and independent state, but was

Just Oxygen.

Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen-ne
drugs, no oalcohol in it. 1t is the discovery
of PAUL., the great German chemist, who
spent 20 years on it. His object was to
get such an excess of oxygen in staple
form into the blood that no germ could
live in any membrane or tissue
Oxygen Is life to an animal-the very
source of vitality. We would die in three
minutes without it. In this liquid fonn
its effects are exhilarating, purifying,
vitalizing. But germs are vegetables, and
this excess Of oxygen is deadly to vege-
table matter.

killing the tissues, too. Any germ-killing
drug is poison to you, and it cannot be
taken internally. Medicine never de-
stroys inside germs.
We spend ID days in making each bot
tie Of Liquozone, yet we offer you the first
bottle free. And we supplyit to physicians
and hospitals everywhere at almost cost.
In this fair way we are trying to intro

it. If you will be as fair with yourself,
we will gladly show you how any germ

KANSAS REPUBLICANS.
State Convention Begins Business al
Wichita

Wichita, Kan, March l0.-When the
Republican state convention was
called TO order here during the day
only three tests We're in sight. Beyond
these fights the convention promised
to be tame and il was apparent that
Edward r. Hoeh, editor OF the Heral
OF Marion. would be nominated for
governor by acclamaton and the re-
mainder of the present state officers,
except perhaps Treasurer Kelley, be
renominated.
w r. Stubbs of Lawrence acted as
both temporary and permanent chair
man. Governor Bailey did not attend
the convention.
The first break between the machine
and the antimachine elements came
when an anti-machine delegate made
a motion, which was adopted, to ap-
point Dan Dyer sergeant-at-arms, thus
deposing c. M. Irwin of Wichita, who
had been named, as is customary. by
the chairman of the central committee.
