 Outpost skirnishes continue the sum total of disclosed activities on the Lao and Taitse rivers, in Manchuria. Gen. eral Kuropatkin is reported to be keep ing in contact with the entire Japanese front. Russian scouts report that the main Japanese force is centered in the vicinity of the Yentai mines. Fresh troops and conyalescents are arriving at Mukden in large numbers. The rail- way north from Mukden is proving of much value to General Kuropatkin in bringing supplies for his army as we'll as endorsements. Chinese arriving at Chefoo report that Japanese attacks on Port Arthur have resulted in heavy losses to the assailing forces, while the Russians suffered comparatively little.

 It appears that General Rennen- kampff's movement to the southward on September IS extended beyond the distance indicated by first reports.

WARNING TO PHILIPPINE PROS
PECTORS,

! The Times has often taken occasion TO
| warn goldseekers in the Philippines
! against the danger of venturing too far
beyond army posts and the well pacified
sections. A river with its manifold tribu-
taries flowing from unprospected noun
tains possesses a charm that few seekers
I after the precious metal can resist, even
at the risk of life The fate of many
American prospectors in these islands
stands to emphasize the utter reckless
ness Of the average goldhunter
The recent narrow escape of Mr. Hoff-
hung, an English proSpector. who ven
, tured into the country of the Calingas
on the Cagayan river, should not be over
looked by other miners who may be con-
tempiating like tours. Seckoned on by
! the tempting quarts float picked up
along the lower course of the river. with
a banca and four native guides. Mr..
Hoffnung ventured into the region against
which he had been warned by the local
residences At short distance from
his camp he witnessed the race of his
native boatmen in escaping from band
of Calingas. Concealed in the thick brush,
he watched the race that left him alone
in the jungle forty miles from food or
assistance. After four days Of the ut
most hardship he reached Pamplona in
a pitiable condition, but thankful even to
escape with his life.
Northern Luzon appears to offer the
greatest inducements to goldseekers. so

some customs that are peculiar to say
the least. Twice, at the time of sowing
and reaping respectively, a fiesta takes
place. For these, human skulls are con-

ity filled with wine Of native distila-
ton: from this the merrymakers drink
during the festival. We have been in
formed that during the interim there is
but little danger from these mountain
tribes
The difficulty lies in the fact that the
close" season in this region is not very
well defined, and the goldseeker who wan
ders into the mountains may not find his
head exempt
The desire to take life on the part of
these wild people is not inspired by lust
for blood or reenge. but for the equally
revolving purpose already explained.
The weapons Of these uncivilized people

( At the end of that time his mother took
him to his home and nothing more was
heard of him until four months after the
accident, when he sued the railway com

At the trial the lawyers for Hoskins
claimed that the injuries We're of seri-

that he could under TO circumstances
