Dead Bodies Are Mutllated.

Washington, July s-The Japanese le- gation today received the following de- spatch from Tokio:
 The chief of staff of the Second army telegraphed as follows:
 '' On. the 18th of June a petty officer and other soldiers. six in all. belonging to the Eighteenth infantry regiment, en- countered while scouting about fifteen Russian troops at Cheng 1su shan and were killed after Q hand to hand fight On the death of these men the Russians thrust their oayonets Into their mouths and cut open their lungs and took away the contents of their pockets.
 ' On the 27th of June Kobayashi Wa chi. a first class cavairyman, belonging to the Third cavalry regiment, who was also scouting at a point about four kilo- meters north of Heunyo cheng, was at- tackled by the Russians and fell dead on the ground. Thereupon about twenty Russian cavalrymen surrounded the dead man and barbarously stabbed his dead body several times. At this moment a company of our cavalry approached the scene and the Russians fled. leaving the Lody of the man to our hands.

Report from Toklo.

Tokio, July 3.-Q0 8. m)-The Yladi- vostock squadron eluded Vice Admiral Kamimura's squadron eastward of the Island of Tsu Friday night In the dark ness A drizzing rain and fog favored the Russian vessels. The two squadrons met early in the evening, the Russians being north of Xxi Island and the Japanese south of Tsu Island. They were ten miles apart. The Russians bolted to the north east when they were discovered by Vics Admiral Kamimura. The latter chased them at full speed. The Japanese torpedo boats steamed ahead and entered within the range of the Russian guns. The Rus sian vessels vigorously shelled the Ja- panese torpedo boats. This firing explains the cannonading heard on Tsu Island, and gave rise to the belief that general engagement was in progress.
 Vice Admiral Kemlmura gained on the Russian ships and was onry nve miles In the rear, when, suddenly at D. m. all the Russian vessels extinguished their lights and disappeared in the darkness At that time the Japanese torpedo boats were pressing the Russians who had been using their searchlights. The torpedo boats failed to get close enough to the Russian squadron to dlscahrge torpe- does.

"a Square Deal for Every Man,"

Twenty pages of eplgrams culled from
President Roosevelt's state papers and
public addresses-is tho unique feature
of the National Magazine for October.
Acquired at the last moment, too late
for inclusion in the body of the maya
zine, it was tucked away in the advertis-
ing section, with a ~full-page portrait of
Robert Thompson, the compiler, and
another of the president and his four
ons Nowhere else has R~ooseveltism
been SO boiled down to its essences. The
result is truly what Mr.. Thompson calls
it, "a self.delineation of his character
and ideals"
showing Messrs. Parker and Davis
looking pleasant" for the Nationals
photographer, Mr.. G. V. Buck-a very
jolly and attractive picture of the demo-
cratic nominees. Frank Putnam dis
cusses the national campaign and the
problem of negro disfranchisement.
Mr.. Chapple discourses of the Worlds
Fair, of politics, of the Grand Army en-.
campment in Boston, and other public
matters-his letter being lavishly illus
trated with new and taking photographs
portraits and snapshots-to be found
nowhere but in the National.
The fiction and poetry of the number
are genuine and distinctly readable.
Taken all in all, a warm and genial
humanity a%lternates with a CAV and
sprightly humor in the pages of the
National for October-a magazine not
wholly unworthy the distinction which
Mr.. Blumenthal claims for 1t in his novel

Depth of Ocean Cables.

There seems to be no logical reason
why cables cannot be laid across any
section of the ocean regardless Of the
depth. Some portions of the Atlantic
cables now in use are over three miles
below the surface. There is also no
logical reason why you Should continue
to suffer from loss Of appetite, belching,
Aatulency, sour stomach, headache, in
digestion, dyspepsia or malaria, fever
and ague when Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will positively cure you. 1t has
cured thousands of other cases, probably
more serious than yours, during its half
century experience, and this, together
with the fact that prominent physicians
never hesitate in recommending it,
should be sufficient reason for urging
you to try it. The genuine has our pri-
vate stamp over the neck of the bottle.
