lon. Yesterday Dr. Charles Dabney,
PRESIDENT of the University of Ten
hessee, made a strong plea for the
white mountaineers of the Cumber-
land region. These people are quite

fold English and Scotch and Irish
stock, and are ignorant simply be-
cause their ancestors happened to get
stranded on the mountain slopes, be-
tween several States rich in staple
products. They learn readily, pro-
gress fast, and are magnificent ma
terial for the making of the Republic.

Japanese Cruiser Lost.

st. Petersburg. April 1S-A dispatch
from Port Arthur says several eye
witnesses assert that a japanese
cruiser was lost outside Port Arthur
on April u by striking one of its own
floating mines.
It is said that the Japanese torpedo
notilla attack on Port Arthur April
13 was intended to cover a landing
from nine transports at Shwang Tai
Use. 20 miles southwest Of Takushan,
with a view to cutting of the retreat
Of the Port Arthur troops to Flu Yen
and KaipiDg destroying the railway
and preventing troops stationed in
southern Lao Tung from effecting a
junction with the main Russian forces
concentrated at Lao Yang and Muk-
den. The execution Of this operation
only failed owing to the fact that all
places on the peninsula suitable for
the landing Of troops are protected
by miles, well fortified and strongly
guarded.
