TO RUSSIA.
French Colonel Will Offer His Sword
and Services.

Paris, May 15.-Gen. Baron Rcbillot
a leading figure in the French army
and a friend of Col. Marchand, whose
resignation from the army was accept
ed, Friday says the latter probably
will offer his sword and services tt
Russia.
Such a step by the hero of Fashoda
would give Il dramatic sequel to his
retirement in disgrace from the French
army.
Marchand's arrest for publicly criti-
Ching the war office and the summary
acceptance of his resignation are caus-
ing a sensation similar to that when
Dreyfus was stripped of his uniform.
His period of arrest expires next
Tuesday when. Some of his friends as
scrt, he will enter politics and make
another BOulanger campaign.
Gen. Rebillots suggestion that
Marchand MAY enter the Russian army
appears to he more likely to be true,
as the Russians have Il high apprecia-
ton of his military genius, and it is
understood that Gen. KurOpatkin per-
sonally is DESTROYS of securing March,
and's services.

Paris. May 16.-The correspondent in
st. Petersburg of the Echo de Paris says
the general staff considers the blockade
of Port Arthur as unimportant. The cor
respondent adds he is Informed that the

Emperor. which did not pass through the
hands of the military censorship tina
Kuropatkin does not heed his orders or
advice. 1t is the genrale desire that Ku-
ropatkin shall be the sole head of militia

The feeling in St. Petersburg. the CORE
spondent says, is strong against Sweden
on account of the precautionary meaes-

BLOWS LACKED FORCE.
Otherwise Mccoy Might Have Been
Knocked Out.

Philadelphia, May 15.- kid" Mccoy
and Jack O'Brien, last night, fought one
of the most scientific six-round bouts
ever seen in this city at the Second
Regiment armory. At the close of the
bout it would have been difficlt to pick
the winner. Mccoy had the best of the
third and fourth rounds while O'Brien
had the Kid in trouble at the close of
the fifth and also in the sixth round.
Mccoy was visibly in distress at the
end of the sixth round.
He repeatedly ran away from
O'Bricn and only attempted to counter
when O'Brien led. There were no marks
en- Mccoy, while O'Brien's left eye was
bleeding. O'Brien's blows lacked force
and this fact alone probably saved Nc
coy from being knocked out. O'Brien
landed the greatest number of blows.
but McCoy's punches had more steam
behind them.

AT CHE FOO.
United States Cruiser New Orleans
Ordered to That Place.

Che Foo. May 15.-(Noon).-The United
States cruiser New Orleans with Rear Ad-
miral Stirling on board arrived. today,
from Shanghai. The orders were simply
to come to Che Foo.
Rear Admiral Stirling said the reason
for his coming and his future movements
are unknown to him. In view of the pre-
vious order that no ships should come
north OF, Shanghai, the movement of the
New Orleans is considered significant
here. One interpreta ton of the arrival of
the cruiser is that the United States will
insist upon the neutrality of New Chwang
when the Russians evacuate that place.
The New Orleans is at Che Foo in ac-
cOrdancc with Z recent order forwarded
from Washington TO Rear Admiral Coop
err, COMMUNICATIVE chief of the Asiatic
squadron. Owing to the danger threaten
ing New Chwang from hordes of bandits
who are awaiting the departure of the
Russians to. begin deprcdations. it was
deemed advisable to protect Americans
and other foreign interests until the Jap
aneSe arrived.
A cruiser and a gunboat were accord
ingly ordered to Che Foo to hold them
selves in readiness for service at New
Chwang. the gunboat to be utilized in
shallow water

Antung. Manchuria. Thursday, May
s.. via Seoul, May 1.-the Russians
who retreated after the battle Of May 1,
are terrifying Kaoliman. Strong REIN

earthworls on the hills north and south
of the village and has many pieces OF

mountainous and steep. Almost nn-
scalab,e mountains protect the enemy's
right flank. There are no Russians be-
tween Kaoliman and Sed on the south
or the Al river on the north.
In retrea ting the Russians burned
their buildings and supplies and de-
wasted the country. so that the japan
tese should not find support.
