They Succeeded in CompIetely Mis-
 leading the Russian Generals
 St. Petersburg, May 2S.-News in the dispatch to the Czar from General Ku- ropatkin under date of May 27 is all that was officially given out tonight While the dispatch was brief it is re- garded as extremely significant.
 The fact that the Japanese com menced to advance along the main Liao Yang road as soon as they had forced the neck of the Eiao Tung peninsula and cut off Major General Fock from any cooperation with the Russians in the north shows a thorough under standing between the Japanese com manders.
 The authorities believe the advance from Feng Wang Cheng has only been suspended pending the elimination of Fock's force and they expect that the advance in Liao Yang will not now be pushed in earnest.
 It is evident that the continual skir- nfishing by the advanced posts of the Japanese around Feng Wang Cheng has been successful in masking the real force, consisting of the third army which is moving north from Taku- shan. It is expected that this force southern Japanese force is busy before Port Arthur
 The fact that there is almSst a com plete suspension of press messages from Russian correspondents at the front is taken to indicate that import ant movements are pending.

isbed by the feutOnB.
 Berlin, May 2S.--The popular chagrin here over the Anglo-French under standing found expression nt the an. nual meeting today of the colonial so- ciety at Stettin.
 Count von Pfeil and others present. ed resolutions addressed to Chancellor von Buelow, asking the German gov ernment to take steps to provide for the guaranteeing of free trade to the fullest extent in Moroccan ports dur ing the existence of the understanding.
 The resolutions emphatically called attention to the necessity for protect ing the political and business interests of the Germans settled there and as- serted that if the status quo Is chang ed to the advantage of France, Ger many must demand compensation in Morocco fully equal to Frances advan- tage and corresponding to the magnt- tude of her business interests in that land to the necessity of her fleet hav- ing over sea points of support and to inc fact that it is necessary for the ponulation to have the right in which to extend itself.
 Count von Pfeil. in supporting the resolutions, said 1t was national mis- fortune that 32,000 German emigrants yearly still seek the shores of the Ont- fed states. when there Is a large terri tory right at Germany's doors, the ac- ouisition of which would not cause any difficulties worth mentioning
 The resolutions were adopted by a large majority. The Colonial Society also adopted a resolution favoring the more rapid building of naval vessels than provided for by tAe fleet A.w.

ENGAGED IN SLAVE TRADE.
Bereros, It Is Intimated. Deal in Human
 rhaftala.


 Berlin, May 2s.-The Yosslsche Zeitung this morning publishes a letter in which the writer raises the question as to how the re- bellious Hereros in German Southwest Africa pay the English and Portuguese traders for te1e Weapons and ammunition which they continue to receive by way of Ovambo and declares that cattle are not the only medium of payment.
 "The traders" says the letter. accept slaves also. The slave trade from the Ger man protectorate by way of Kunene to An gola has been going for some tinie and certainly began before the breaking out of the Herero rebellion. It was probably carried on without the Governments knowl- edge. However, proofs in the shape of formal business letters mentioning the de- livery of ~apons and ammunition in ex- change for slaves has been in the hands of the windhoek Government for some time.
 Tn Angola these slaves pass as free la borers. They still probably go mainly to plantations on the Portuguese islands in the Gulf of Guinea. It can be assured that the German Government will question the Portuguese authorities sharply about the matter, but we can not reproach our neigh bOrs more than ourselves. They are not able to keep order in their borders nor we in ours"

uc8tfO4e 0I Alm08t FekMhhent Na- ture.
 Washington, May 28.-The~ Japanese legation this afternoon received the following official dispatch:
 "rokio, May 38.
 '"The following are further details of the attack on Kin Chou. The at- tack of the enemy at Nanshen Hill commenced at 2:35 a. m. of the 18th. The enemy's defensive works were of almost permanent nature and their ar tillery consisted of fifty guns of va- rious calibres and two quick firing field artillery pieces. Their infantry ranged in two or three lines in cov- cred trenches, with loopholes, and placed machine guns in complete points and offered a stubborn resistance. We ranged all our field guns on the forts and the enemy's principal artillery, and silenced eleven of them, while the quick firers previously retired to Nankwang, and continued firing until night, where our artillery concentrat- ed fire on the enemy's trenches and our infantry forces advanced within four or five hundred metres from the enemy's position, but the wire entan- elements and mines lay before us and the enemy's position and tried several charges, but this still proved unsuc- cessfui, officers and men all falling within twenty or thirty metres from the enemy's position.
 Thereupon our artillery began a heavy fire in the evening. During the severest cannonading the last charge was made and the breach was opened with great difficulty through which we gained the whole height, expelled the enemy and captured all the guns on the forts. One of the fortunate in- cidents in the attack was the discoy- cry of a mine at the eastern foot of Nanshen Hill, the cutting of which prevented heavy loss"

 liar Predicament.
 Little Rock. Ark. May 2s.--A special to The Gazette from Carlisle, Ark, says: tS
 Unless the courts intervene the en- tire town of Carlisle and about S,4oo acres of land surrounding the town will be sold at public sale June 2, on an order granted by the Probate Court of Lonoke county to the heirs or the original owner of the land.
 The order was secured by the guar dian of three minor heirs of French man named Comic, who years ago owned all the land on which the town of Carlisle now stands as well as much of the surrounding country. The origi- nal owner sold most of the land years ago. but in 1879 presumably to make title clear, he secured patent from the State for the whole tract.
 He failed, it is said. to make new deeds, however, for the land which he had sold and asla result the heirs now claim the property. Three of the grand children of the original owner who now reside In Louisiana claim an un- divided sixteenth of the property, and through their guardian secured an or- der for the sale of the whole tract.
 The citizens of Carlisle held a mass meeting and decided to raise fund to carry on fight against the claim ants.

BALTIC FLEET DELAYED.
May Not Be Able to Sail to Far East
 Before SeDtember,

Before September.
 St. Petersburg, May 2S.-Although work is pushed night and day to pre- pare the Baltic fleet for service, 1t Is feared now that 1t cannot be ready to sail for the Far East before September.
 The delay is regarded as especially unfortunate in view of the situation at Port Arthur, where the arrival of the fleet before the fall of the fortress would compel the raising of the siege It has been found necessary to put the battleship Orel, which recently sank at Cronstadt, owing to her sea valves being left open and was subsequently, fioated, and on which an explosion killing ten stokers was alleged to have afterwards occurred, in dry dock, and possibly she may not accompany the Baltic fleet to the Far East
 There is no intention of purchasing any South American warships owned by private firms. Neither has Russia any intention of buying foreign mer- chantmen for transport purposes Four Hamburg American liners&were bought by the merchant marine department and turned over to the navy to become a part of the volunteer fleet. Twenty transports will accompany the Baltic fleet carrying coal, ammunition and every kind of stores. There also will be repair, water condensing and hospi- tai ships. Altogether, siXtytwo pen nants will go out under Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky.
 Admiral Kiariloff, naval commander, is becoming celebrated for his remark able orders of the day. One Issued this morning says:
 q visited the schoolship Nevka and did not find her captain or lieutenant Two midshipmen, in charge of fifty cadets, did not know how to turn out and salute the admiral They did not know wherefore they were on board. God save the Nevka on cruise
 The Russians are so convinced of the efficacy of submarine boats that many of the wealthiest and most Influential people have formed an association to promote the construction of vessels of that class as being Ideal defensive craft and such as are required by a pacific power like Russia"

and scores of them became so disorderly
and threatening in their attitude toward
the whites on the streets that Mayor
Graichen was forced to issue a proc'ama'

act would be severely dealt with. The
negroes stung by the humiliation of the
iimcrow law to which they were COM
PEELED to submit upon entering the State
parided the streets, insulting white
women and openly defying the whites
and threatening them. The police force
was increased to four times its regular
strength last night. and much trouble is
feared. Mayor Graichen issued strict
order to all saloonkeepers not to sell
liquor to any negro, and it is thought
this may have a restraining influence.
A number of negroes have been arrested,
and others, after being fired on ey the
police, escaped.
