RUMORS OF BATTLES
Engagements in Korea and Invest
ment of Vladfvostok Reported.

Engagements in Korea and Invest
ment of Vladivostok Reported.
New York Sun Special Service.
London, March There Is a great
diversity Of war rumors, but little def
mite information. The signal has been
given, according to some special dis
patches, for the storming Of Port Ar
thur by land and sea.
The investment Of Vladivostok is
heralded in other bulletins, and bat
tie near Ping Yang is fought from
hour to hour under varying conditions
and with forces estimated all the way
from 10000 to $4,000 on each side.
Skirmishing at Ping Yang has become
active and continuous. but reports of
the strength of the opposing armies
in men and guns have been exagger-
ated.
The Japanese plan of campaign still
Is successfully concealed, and the Rus
sian censor allows dispatches to go
out mainly for the purpose Of deCeiV-
ing the enemy.
The seizure Of British golfers by the
Russian cruisers brings up the ques-
ton of the status of coal as a CONTRA
band Of war. An interview by the
Russian am bassador with Lord Lans-
downe is expected, as a consultation
Respecting the legality of such seiz-
ures when the coal is not definitely
connected with the Japanese naval
supply.
The impracticability Of distinguish
Ing between naval and industrial sup
plies is admitted by members Of par
lament. The advantage Of a rigorous
application of the theory of CONTRA
band of war to coal Is clearly dis
cerned by an increasing number of
writer's in the British press, in view
Of the imperial Gordon of coaling sta
tons.

ing debate in the chamber Of deputies
on the measures the minister Of ma

source Of qualification to learn that the

allay the irritation caused by the

PERMANENcE OF CURE
The Chief Merit.

Many so called pile remedies will
afford the user slight temporary relief,
and the majority of sufferers do not
expect more than this. Women es-
peclally, after having tried every prep
aration recommended for the cure of
Piles, have come to the conclusion,
that there is no cure except by an OPP
Grafton. This is rightfully viewed
with dread, because of the shock to the
delicate nervous system Of women. and
many of those afflicted, have resigned
themselves to the situation with never
a thought that there Is any help in
sight for them.
We invite the attention of all such
to the experience Of the lady whose
address Is given below.
II feel 1T my duty to recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering
ten years with a most distressing form
of Piles, am entirely cured, thanks to
this remedy. Anyone doubling this
can write to Margaret Brady, 1856
Whitman street, Cleveland Ohio
Ten months later she writes II am
glad to say that I am still perfectly
free from piles. and have not had the
slightest trouble since I first used your
remedy. I am well known in Cieve-
land and have advertised Pyramid Pile
Cure extensively here. I take
pleasure in doing so as it saved me
from an operation, which I always
dreaded, ana you are assured the rem
edy can have no firmer advocate than

Two Thousand Men Answer Admiral
Togo's Call for Volunteers.
New York Sun Special Service.
Toxic, March Admiral Togo re-
ports that his appeal for volunteers to
block the entrance to Port Arthur har-
Dor was instantly responded to by
over 1900 officers and men. Following
the time-honored Samurai custom,
some wrote their applications in their
own blood.
It is believed that the attempt to
block the port was partially success
full, as regards two Of the steamers,
for, whereas it formerly took thirty
minutes to enter the harbor, 1t now
takes two hours.

CABLE DEAL STILL OPEN
Government Has Not Yet Received
Formal Application From Company.

Washington, March THUS far the
United States government has not re-
ceived formally an application from
the Commercial Gable company to
land a Japanese cable. on the island
Of Guam. ~ tg u
The government, however, has been
appealed to in a tentative way by rep
resentatives of the company so as to
ascertain how the United States would
view such an application if it were
made.
1t is considered that the laying OF
the cable purely would be a CONNER
cial transaction and that the granting
of permission for laying the cable at
Guam would not violate in any sense
the position Of neutrality which the
United States has assumed in regard
to the Japanese-R conflict.
Russia has made no protest to this
government against the granting Of
permission to land the cable at Guam.
1t is assumed by Washington officials
that if a protest is made it will be
filed thru regular diplomatic channels.
What action the United States would
take in that event cannot be foretold
as it would depend entirely on the cir
cumstances of the concession.
