Capture of Kai-Chou Reported.

(By the Associated Press.)
Toxic, May 21.--noon-Although it
has not been officially reported, it is
said on good authority that the ia
panese forces have captured Kali
Chou, driving the Russians back to
I.ashi- CHA, in the direction of New
Chwang, and preventing the advance
of Russian troops at New-Chwang in
the direction of Kai-Chou.
The bombardment by the Japanese
of the vicinity of Kai-Chou recently
was probably in preparation of the
landing of forces in the northwest cor
ner of Liao-Tung Peninsula and of
the capturing of New Chwang and
cooperating with the other armies in
the march on Liao-Yang.
Probably small japanese force had
been landed at Kin-Chou Bay.
Taku-Shan where Japanese forces
were landed May 10, is at the mouth
of Dayan river, west of the Yalu.

prosecution, at the time they fixed the
tranSa ction for at that time he was
certainly in very different section
of the city, remote from the store al

a stranger to complainantS, it is gen
orally believed to be case of honest
ly mistaken identity, and that the
guilty party left on train for the
North yesterday before Hayes arrest.
Parties here well acquainted with the
accused give him an excellent char
acter, and he was discharged from
custody.
The capture by the police last night
of d Donnell, a large negro man., in
the second story of the Greensboro

another capital case for the next term

went in at ten o'clock discovered that
some one was in the building and
Donnell was found by the police after
