Strange Condition Revealed at Hospital
Where Shoemaker Went to
Subdue Pains.

NEW YORK. June 15.-Doctors in St.
GATHERINGS Hospital. Williamsburg, are
treating patient whose heart is on the
extreme right side OF his body. On the
left side where nature had intended the
heart TO be. is either tumOr OF a can
Ger. This patient is Ruff Smith. a shoe
maker, thirty-two years old, Of 1875 Her
kimer Street, Brooklyn
Whether or not Smiths heart was al
ways in the wrong place he does not
know. He never took the trouble 10 as
certain watcher it's beatings were on the
right or left side
Pains Are Recent
He does know, however. that during
the last year he has often been seized
with acute pains In his left side. These
pains were generally of short dura-
ton and he thought nothing more Of
them after they passed away.
on last Friday afternoon, however, he
was seized with pain which was SO
acute that he was obliged TO sit down
on the steps of residence.
Smith WAS walking along Bushwick
Avenue near Hart Street. when he was
attacked. and while he was in agony
several men advised him 10 see a die

DR.. Wood took him in hand. and dis
covered that Smiths left side was

Heart on Right Side.
He put his ear to Smiths right side
and thought he detected heart beatings.
He tried the stethoscope. and became
convinced that something was radically
wrong with the position Of the patients

He called other doctors to his aid. and

JAPANESE MOVES
ARE PERILOUS

PARIS, June 15.-It is necessary more
than ever to take into account the ex-
aggeration I'm news Of all kinds which
comes from the seat of war, but never
thelesS IL is possible TO seek to find out
what has caused the too evident exag-
gerations they contain.
Thus IL is probable that the advance
Of General KurOhs vanguards toward
Eiai-Cheng must have brought them in
collision with the Russian detachments
occupying defiles Of the mountains which
separate the two armies.
The japanese cavalry being powerless.
owing 10 its manifest inferiority when
opposed TO Cossacks. cannot properly
perform scouting duty for the columns
Il screens.
Annihilation improbable.
1t is. therefore, very possible that two
battalions. ignorant of the presence of
the enemy on these heights, with which
they are not well acquainted. ap-
preached without suspicion and may
thus have been received with deadly fire
at short range. But it appe Us doubtful
that these battalions have keen thus an
initiated
Likewise II appears to be evident from
several dispatches that General Kuro-
patkin has withdrawn toward his own
FORCES the whole or part of the troops
which were moving south under General
Stakelbergs orders. This would explain
the passage of several thousand men
through Niuchwang
They appear to have made a forced
march. This IS so much more proba BILE
as the Japanese In the Liao-Tung peuiu-
sula. feigning retreat, succeeded in at
tracing toward them a Russian detach-
mellt. and in cutting off their retreat
which their officers finally succeeded I'm
accomplishing. with much ability, by
means Of turning movements. Of which
they have frequently made use.
Casualty List Suspicious.
But Il appears unlikely that they have
thus been able to put out of action at
least eight hundred of their opponents
unless the number of the latter was ex-
ceptionally large.
A rumOr which is excitiur the people
OF St Petersburg is the Z. iouncement
Of movement Of all General Kurolzi's
forces toward his left TO guard Niu-
chwang and later to menace the right
flank and rear Of General Kuropatxin
by moving north between the Lao River
and the railway. II this movement
should take place at the same time
that the right wing OF the Japanese
moves on Mukden. the Russians would
in fact. be IN danger of having both
their TANKS turned
But while the japanese arc thus de-
ploying their columns from east to west
within little distance of the enemy. they
run the risk Of being cut in two by
an energetic cross raid by General Ku-
ropatkin, who doubtless could not resist
the temptation OF throwing himself
headlong upon them during their peril
