japanese Column Destroyed.

A Japanese column, numbering approx
mately 100 men, while marching along at
night on a road in the valley between Long
Hill and Division Hill met a frightful dis
aster through the explosion of an electric
land mine, September 1. The mine was
carefully laid by the Russians three weeks
ago. 1t covered nearly mile of avail
able marching space. The explosive was
placed at the bottom. Rock was placed
next, and on top of these clay was packed
so carefully that the ground gave the i'm
preston of not having been disturbed. The
indications OF japanese activity in this vi
cinfty put the Russians on guard. Near
midnight the outposts rushed in and re-
ported that the Japanese were approaching
The Russians withheld their fire for some
time; Suddenly they threw searchiight
up the valley. The japanese opened with
rifle fire The Russians waited until ap-
parently the whole Japanese column was
in the danger zone. Then the mine was
exploded. The force of the explosion knock
ed number of Russians down, and the
sight OF japanese rifles. water bottles, legs
and arms hurting through the lighted space
made by the searchlight was an awful
spectacle. Some rocks landed inside the
Russian lines. sThere was one appalling
moment. during which the garrison itself
was stunned. then a deathlike silence The
searchlight coldly lighted up the road and
hillside strewn with dead. The following
day the Russians buried the dead hut
owing to their dismembered and mutilated
condition, the Russians were unable to ac-
curately estimate the number of killed, A
Few Japanese escaped, however.

firms the above to the extent of saving

did not learn the details. On the nights
of August 20 and 81 a similar disaster he
fell the Japanese near Redoubt No 2. it ia

official reports which he asserted not only
raised the presumption Of extravaganza,
but proved 1t. bill OF particulars will be
given. he said when democratic admins

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Rev. S. P. W. Drew and William
Howard Imprisoned.

At the conclusion of a hearing shortly
after . o'clock yesterday afternoon, Justice
Stafford. in Equity Court No. 2, adjudged
Rev. Simon p. w. Drew, George Robinson
and William Howard in contempt of court
for violation of an injunction order signed
in connection with the troubles affecting
the congregation of the Metropolitan Bap-
list Church, r street between 18th and
18th streets. Drew was sentenced to i'm
prisonment In the District Jail for sixty
days, and Robinson and Howard for thirty
days each. The contempt proceedings in
sututed against James Strothers were dis
charged by the court.
Upon an appeal being noted, Justice STAFF
ford fixed the bond in the case of Drew
at S.pco, and in the cases of Robinson and
Howard at $500 each. Drew furnished Sc
curity TO guarantee his appearance in court
thls morning to give the required bond. and
Robinson and Howard were released over
night on their personal bonds.
When the matter was taken up this morn
ing counsel for Drew, Robinson and How
ard made the point that the court was with
out jurisdiction to consider the CONTEMPT
issue, by reason of alleged legal omissions
IN the previous proceedings. The right of
appeal In the contempt case was also ques-
toned.
Justice Stafford remarking that the uues-
lions raised by counsel were important
ones, took the matter under advisement un-
III next Monday. Until then the defendants
were released on their personal bonds Drew
IN the sum of $1,000 and Robinson and
howard in the sum OF $500 each.
