Now Predicted.

London, April 14.-Special. -
There is practically unanimity of op-
inion here that the loss of the Petro-
pavlovsk and the death of Admiral
Markaroff will mark commencement
of active operations ON land.
In discussing details the Daily Tel
earaph expert says: Il certainly
shall be surprised if the day of the
death of Admiral Makaroff does not
become historical in that there will
be rapid change in the DEVELOPMENT
of the land campaign. 1t is almost
certain that Makarotf IS death will be
a signal, first for the blocking up of
Port Arthur with loaded merchant
ships, for Which the Japanese have
been so carefully preparing and i'm
mediately afterwards for the com bined
attack on Port Arthur by the military
and the navy.

A QUESTION.
Did Ed Greenwood lniure Horse
Belonging to His Employer.

Ed Greenwood was brought to this
city yesterday by Under Sheriff
Hardy from Frulta. having been ar
rested on a warrant sworn out by a
farmer by the name of Dolson. charg-
ing Greenwood with having deliber-
ately stuck pitch fork into a black
mare of which he. Dolson. was the
owner.
Greenwood denies the aeon satlon
made by his former employer Dolson.
From his statement, the matter of
sticking the horse with the pichtfork
was purely accidental. He says that
he was in the barnyard at Dolson' S
when the horses began running. He
waved the pitchforK at them in an en-
dearvor to drive them away from
where he was standing, when sudden
ly the black mare which was stuck in
the side, whirled and the tines came
in contact with her side and penetrat-
ed pretty deeply.
He says he had no intention what
ever to harm the animal in any way
whatever and says that he loves horses
and would not injure one in the brut-
al manner charged under any circum-
stances.
Greenwood bears good reputation
with those with whom he formerly
worked and this is corroborated by his
former employers.
