ON HALF RATIONS.
The garrison az Port Arthur is on half
ratfons fve days weekly.
A despatch 10 the Daily Mail from st.
Petersburg SAYS there is great uneasiness
there regarding certain news which seems
20 imply the early capture OF Port Arthur.
The official dispatches are vague and con-
nicting. The public is impressed by the
apparent ignorance OF the generals on
the spot
An important movement by the Japan
ese army recently became known. Japan
ESQ troops have been collected on the
coast OF the Bay OF Corea toward the
south. Tidings of severe fghting are i'm
patiently awaited The ministry denies
that any important news has been re-
ceived. All foreign newspapers are exten-
siyely BACKED out before they are allow
ed 70 reach the public.
A CHANGE OF PLANS.
The Telegraph's st. Petersburg corre-
for stating that important changes are
about TO be made in the campaign plans
owing 10 the necessity for hindering at all
costs the fan OF Port Arthur.
The war council recently decided that
the troops on the German frontier could
be safely withdrawn for service I'm the
far east because absolute trust could be
placed I'm the benevolence OF Germany's
neutrality. The council also decided that
General kouropatkin should make an
immediate move 10 relieve Port Arthur.
He will probably send n force south
ward under General Keller. All hopes are
now centered in General Kouropatkin.
who viii make desperate efforts TO save
Port Arthur
The rumor current yesterday OF Sc
we're defeat inflicted on General Kouro-
patkin Is clearly an exaggeration OF the
four days skirmish which ended at Sal
matsi on Monday.
Both this and the WafenRkau fight I'm
the northern end OF the Liao Tung prom
ontory were on a larger scale than tho
recent similar affairs. but 20 far as can
be ascertatned neither was OF great con-
sequence. The Japanese versions OF the
nehtirg have not arrived.

Brilliant TOilettes Seen.
Paris. June 12.-Edward Blanc's bay
colt Ajax, by Flying Fox-Amie, to-
day won the Grand Prix De Paris of
$4,000, distance about one mile and
seven furlongs, this stable thus ac-
complishing the rare feat of carrying
off three great events of the year, the
Prix De Diane 0he French equivalent
of the English Oaks), the Prix Du
Jockey Club (the French equivalent of
the English derby. and the Grand
Prix.
Everything combined to make the oc-
casion an immense success. The
weather was delightful, the field for
the chief event was large, and of high
quality and the attendance was both
popular and fashionable. There was
almost a record display of charming
summer toilettes, remarkable even for
this ever brilliant function.
President Loubet, accompanied by
Nine. Loubet, and their children drove
in state to the course and received the
heartiest greetings from the huge
crowd which was gathered along the
route. After receiving. a welcome from
the authorities of the Jockey Club.

lon1atic corps, President Loubet went
to the presidential stand and watched
the race with the keenest interest. He
congratulated the owner of the winner
before leaving.
Fourteen horses started for the Grand
Prix, about a half a dozen being at
fairly short prices, though Ajax was
not favorite. The race was close
ly contested, w. J. Vanderbilt's Tur-
rene. with the American jockey, Ranch,
up, leading almost to the finish, when
Stern called on Ajax for a final ef-
fort. which landed him a short half
length ahead. Third place fell to Mac
Donald H. of Blanc's second string
the unsuccessful Derby candidate
Gourvenant, taking fourth place.
The victory of the .favorite was natur-
ally very popular and the youthful
jockey received a great ovation.

men armed with shot guns, rifles and
pistols, viii Finney, "a negro burglar,

kins, Dudley & Co.'s store at Mid
land early this morning, striking the
ground without injuring himself. in
desperate effort to escape. He was
Immediately surrounded compelled to
throw up his hands, and is now
prisoner in the county Jail.
In broad daylight the negro entered
the store, effected an entrance into
the safe, stuck all the money in his
pockets, attired himself in fine suit
of clothing belonging to a member
of the firm, and was about to with
draw from the scene when his pres
ence in the store was accidentally dis
covered. The alarm was given and a
large number of armed men gathered
and surrounded the store.
While he was changing clothes after
his capture Finney stole the pocket
book containing all the money again.
in some manner undetected by the
crowd about him, he took the pocket
book from the pocket of Mr.. Dudley's
suit and slipped, it between his sock
and his flesh. 1t was some time be-
fore the money was found on the pris-
soner's person.
Finney is a muiatto about % years
of age, and has an intelligent face.

WAR IN THE EAST.

Russian wounded found mutilated
after the battle of Saimatsza. 1t
is thought to have been the work
of Chinese bandits.
Russian officer who was in the
battle says that the Japanese lost
about 400 men.
A flanking movement attempted
by the japanese from Feng Wang
Cheng is reported to have been
checked by the Russians. Japan
ese marched into an ambuscade and
two battalions were literally wiped
out by the Russian fire.
Ten Cossacks met a band of fifty
Chinese bandits, killing or wound
ing fifteen of them and capturing
eight.
Russian government will insist
upon regarding rice as contraband
of war.
Total number of killed left be-
hind by the Russians after the
battle of Nan Shan hill was 7O4.
An unconfirmed rumor comes
from st. Petersburg that there was
a naval battle off Port Arthur in

SAY THE JAPS AGAIN
MlSUSED THE RED CROSS,

Lao Yang, June 12.-Ensign Mariloff
who has returned from the battle of
Saimatsza, fought on June Z, says that
the Japanese lost about 300 men. He
speaks in the highest terms of the
work of the Red Cross doctors, Poosen
and Bentesh, who attended the wound
ed under fire. When the order came
to retire the doctors refused to leave
the bandaging station until the last of
the wounded had been brought in and
attended to.
After the battle a wounded Russian
was found with his tongue cut out
and his fingers severed. There is a
general dsinclination to attribute this
mutilation to the Japanese after the
kindness which they had previously
shown to the Russian wounded, and 1t
is thought to be more probable that 1t
was the work of Chinese bandits.
It is alleged that during the engage
ment the Japanese again misued the
Red Cross flag by getting within 400
yards under its cover and then firing
volleys.
Reports from the Sieu Yen fight Of
June say that the Japanese lost 100
killed and the Russians l killed and Il
wounded, including two officers.

HIS RUNNING MATE

Mexico City, June 12.-President Diaz,
on being officially notified by the mem

vention of the nomination of Ramon
Corral for vice president, said he con-
graduated the convention on having
nominated as a candidate for the vice

to his upright character. enlightenment
and public spirit, demonstrated by mis-
admirable service. in various important
posts, possesses, moral and physical en-
ergies which are proper to his relative

Montreal. Quebec. June 12.-Richc-
lieu and Ontario Navigation Company's
steamer Canada. bound from Quebec
for Montreal. came into collision with
the Dominion Coal Companys collier.
Cape Breton. six miles below Sorel
early to-day. Twenty minutes later
the Canada went to the bottom.
At the time of the collision there were
ITO people on board the Canada. Five
were lost; the others were rescued.
The collision occurred just as dawn
was breaking. The Cape Breton lay at
channel, waiting for daylight so as to
find her way through. She was get
ting under way when the Canada, max
ing for Sorel at full speed, came into
view.
Just what the collision was due TO
and who is responsible for it has not
been determined. for the officers of the
Canada decline to talk. but from the
statements given out, it would appear
that the Cape Breton had not headway
enough to answer her rudder, and that
she swerved across the path of the pas
senger boat, her bow striking the Can
ada just forward of the paddle box on
the starboard side, and tearing it's way
half through.
Then the Cape Breton swung clear
and the two steamers came alongside
each other.
The shock of the collision aroused the
sleeping passengers. The Canada at
once began to settle, and as the Cape
Breton did not appear to be seriously
damaged, the passengers were hurried
ly transferred to this steamer.
In the excitement some of the pas
sengers jumped overheard and were
picked up by boats from the Canada
and the Cape Breton. but great ma
jority of those on board did not become
excited, while the discipline shown by
the crew OF the Canada was exraiIanr.
Twenty minutes later, when the Can
ada went down alongside the Cape
Breton, resting on her side in the mud,
all the passengers who could be found
had been transferred. At least two OF
those lost were killed in the collision.
