A VISIT TO A
RUSSIAN GENERAL

HEADQUARTERS OF GENERAL
COUNT KELLER, Niut-Kiay, Eleven
Miles West of Liam Dian Sian. July
12--The opposing armies are grimIy
facing Naiot Heights across the Liank
river, ready to engage in a death Crap
pie.
The Liank crosses the main Lao
Yang-Feng Hang Wang Cheng road,
% miles east of Lao Yang. That flows
north into the Tai Use river, which
passes through Lao Yang and emp
ties into the Lao river.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press, who arrived here after 35 mile
ride from Siao Lindji, saw long lines
of infantry and transport trains wind
ing up the rough mountains. At Lain
Dian Sian a lookout, stationed in a
tree top, pointed out the way to Cen
eral Keller's headquarters, near Mutt
Kiay. There the Russian eastern army
was found, hidden in the hills. In a
plain tent the correspondent saw Gen
era1 Keller, living like a simple soldier,
hut near by. The General looked
cheerful and was bronzed by exposure
He talked of the engagement at Hoi
Yam.
Around the Generals tent were many
officers of the guard, the pride of st.
Petersburg. To see them as weather.
beaten as the Cossack officers one could
scarcely believe them to be the dash
ing guardsmen of the Russian capital.
They have become hardened fighters,
for hardly a day passes without col
lisions between the advance posts of
the Eastern army and the Japanese.
The whole army is anxious to fight
General Kuroki. whose army is at Van
dipudZe, and whose men are entrench-
ed on the other side of the river. The
burning question is who will be the
first to cross the broad valley of the
Liank river.

REVOLVER UNDER PILLOW
WHILE CONDUCTOR SLEPT
VIM Goodwin Formerly on the Oahu Railway
System Returns from Canton After Six
Months of Freak Railroading.

Sleeping with a revolver under his
pillow every night and protected by
soldiers in the daytime while on duty
was the six-rnonths' experience OF Wh-
liam H. Goodwin as a conductor on the
Canton & Hankow Railroad in China.
Goodwin was formerly conductor on
the Oahu Railway on this island. About
half year ago he went to China where
he was given a good post on the rail
way. He returned to Honolulu on the
steamship China and will remain here.
Il have had all I want of China said
he Yesterday. There is no government
at all in China, and the section in which
| was located was particularly bad IN
this respect. The towns there are Ill
smelling and lack the first principles of
sanitation.
The Canton & Hankow Ry. has an
operating length at present of 80 miles.
/ he total length, when completed, will
be 7.,o miles. 1t has taken two years
to build the present road. Conductor
Goodwin states that the Chinese will not
