TO HAMPER THE JAPS.
Russian Military Expert Defines Chief
Mission of Cavalry

ST. PETERSBURG, June IA, II sc am
The Novoe Vremya's military expert au-
thoritatively denies the report that Gen.
Stakelberg is on the march south. He de-
clares that the only Russian forces on the
Liao-Tung peninsula above Port Arthur
consist of cavalry and railroad guards, and
ADDS that 1t is scarcely possible to inter-
fere with the siege operations before Por:
Arthur The chief mission of the Russian
cavalry detachments. he says, is to ham
per the movements of the Japanese col
uInns from the south to the north.
The Novoe Vremya devOtes long edi-
torial to arguing that wireless communici-
ton with neutral territory does not con-
stitute a breach of neutrality. the enemy
having practically the same remedy as In
the case of cable communication, namely,
as previously cabled, in one case of cutting
the cable and In the other of stationing a
vessel rigged with wireless apparatus be-
tween the sending and receiving stations,
thus interfering with communication.
The calling out of the army reserves in
the Kazan, Kief and Moscow military dis
triCts was announced today. THIS step is
for the purpose of filling up the skeleton
reserve corps and to replace the regular
troops already gone or going to the front.
1t also foreshadows the dispatch of four
Volga corps, which was predicted in these
dispatches a month ago. The latter would
give Gen. kuropatkin two hundred thou
sand more men.

SENTENCED FOR SIX MONTHS.
John w. Bilson offered Bribe to Pen
sion Commissioner.

The commissioner of pensions has been in
formed that John w. Blson Of Claremont,
Va, WAS convicted in the federal court at
Norfolk yesterday for violation of the stat
utes relating to pensions and was sentenc
ed to six months in the penitentiary. Bill
son, 1t Is alleged advertised extensively his
ability to procure pension for any veteran
who wanted one. He told persons answer
ing the advertisement that all that was nee
essary was to send fifty dollars to the COM
missioner of pensions and he would get the
pension.
BiIson wrote letter to the commissioner
ard offered to give him fifty dollars to in
crease lis (3ilson's) pension. The commits
sioner promptly turned the letter over to
the district attorney for the district in
which the offense was committed and Bill
son was arrested. The defense contended
that the offense was committed In the Dis
trict Of Columbia, because the letter con-
tanning tie offer of fifty dollars was deliv-
cred to the commissioner here. This con-
tention the government opposed and the
court took the matter under advisement
when the case was concluded June 10. Yes
terday the court announced It's decision
against the defense and Bilson was SEN
fenced 20 six months in jail.

SAVED FROM DISMISSAL.
Executive Clemency Exercised in the
Case of Two Young Officers.

Executive clemency has saved two young
officers of the army from dismissal The
officers are First Lieut.. Henry l.. Harms
tr.. 22d infantry. stationed In the Phllip-
n:,es. and Second Lieut.. Samuel H. Fisher
2Sth Infantry, stationed at San Francisco.
Lieut.. Harris was convicted of charges
of abusive conduct and drunkenness on
duty and sentenced to be dismissed. The
court-martial however, united in recon-
menda ton for clemency, which was ap-
proved by Gen. Leonard Wood the depart
ment commander. On the recommendation
of Secretary Taft and Gen. Chaffee, chief of
staff the President has commuted the SEN
tence to a reduction of fifty files in lineal
rank, so that his name will appear in the
Army Register just below that of First
Lieut. Milton A. Elliott, jr., 18th Infantry.
Lieut. Fisher was convicted of duplicating
his pay accounts and sentenced to be dis
missed Secretary Taft and Gen. Charee
recommended, in view of the lack of proof
of criminal intent on the officers part that
the sentence be commuted TO reduction of
one hundred files in lineal rank, so that
Lieut. Fishers name will follow that of
Second Lieut.. R. S. Hartz, 21st Infantry,
and the President acted in accordance with
this recommendation

JAPS ARE ACTIVE.
Marching Northward and Skirmishing
Daily With Enemy.

ST PETERSBURG, June Il, 5:12 p.m.-
The Japanese are displaying activity at all
their advance lines. According to informa-
tion in the possession of the war Office two
divisions of the enemy are now marching
north along the railroad toward Vafangow
twenty-five miles above kin-Chou).
They are having constant skirmishes with
th. retiring Russians, but the advance is
not being seriously contested. Although
Il is too early to determine the exact pur-
pose of the advance. the presumption of the
general staff Is that the northward move
ment is intended to erect a )uncture at
Kai-Chou with the column from Siu-Yen,
which Is still moving westward.
The bomba rdment of the coast near Kai-
Chou and the blockade OF Nieuchwang
might indicate that the ultimate object of
the combined movements Is to clear the
Liao-Tung peninsula OF Russians and oc-
cupy N!euchwang new base.
The garrison at Nieuchwang, II Is claimed
here remains undiminished but 1t is not
believed that the Russian plans contem-
plate a serious attempt to hold Nieuchwang.
North OF Feng- Wang -Cheng the japanese
are aIso moving. The war office has no ad-
vices contirmatory OF their abandonment of
Saimatsza north of Feng-WangCheng and
east-southea of Liao-Yang). On the con-
trary, the latest reports are to the effect
that the japanese hold Saimatsza. their
outposts reaching far north as Fem
Shuy-L!n Pass (about due east of Lao
Yang) which is held by the Russians.
A Japerese force of 5000 men is reported
to be moving north from Huan- Dian-S Slang,
thirty niles from Saimatsza.
The japanese are strongly fortifying

possible disaster.
