JApS LOSE AT SEA
The Vladivostok Squadron Sinks
Two Japanese Transports.
1000 SOLDIERS co DOWN
In Return the J~spsnese in . Land Battle
whip the Russians and Capture
Artillery and Prisoners.

All doubt as to the sinking OF the
transports Hitachi and Sado by the
Russians has been removed. Three
hundred and ninety-seven survivors OF
the Hitachi arrived at Moji and 1853
survivors Of the Sado have arrived at
Kokura.
The transport Hino. which has re-
turned to Moji reports that she en-
countered the Russian Vladivostok
squadron twenty miles west Of the ISL
and OF Shire Of the Xxi group. The
transports Hitachi, 6,127 tons. and the
Sado, 6,219 tons, were seen two miles
to the westward. When the Hino
sighted the Russian fleet she turned
and ran and signalled a warning to
the K%anazawa, and the both took
refuge insile the island Chity. Both
signalled danger to the Ibu. which also
escaped. The Hino saw the Hitachi
and Sado surrounded by Russian ves-
sells. The loss OF life was heavy.
Details obtainable from the surviv-
ors Of the Inflated Japanese transports
show that the Hitachi and the Sado
met three Russian warships near Xxi
island. The Russians fired on the Jap
anese ships and stopped them and
oon afterward they torpedoed and
sank the helpless transports.

other men were captured. Over one
hundred men escaped in the boats and
landed at Kokura.
A message which was received at
Toxic from Hagi says that several
survivors of the Hitachi had drifted
north to Shimonoseki and been saved.
The transport lsumi is still missing.
1t is reported that the transports
Hitachi and Sado carried only fourteen
hundred men. II this is true. the loss
In lives is probably less than one thou

The transports, however. had many
horses and large quantities OF supplies
on board.

Case of Smaunox..

M. }. Jaax who has been i'll at his
nome for some time, developed very
good case of smallpox last week. The
unmistakable symptoms of the dis
ease showed themselves last Thursday
when he broke out with an Atwood
and-a-y ard-wide case. There we're
suspicious day or so before Mr..
Jaax broke out that he might be COM
ing down with the disease and he was
kept isolated from the family. Mrs.
|.Jaax and daughter Hazel are living at
the store while the other two girls are
at home. The hired girl at the house
has had the disease and remained to
do the work while Carl Cravens was
sent over to nurse Mr.. Jaax, Carl
having only recently recovered from
the disease. The case is being quar-
antined and it is to be hoped that there
will be no other cases break out in the
village. Mr.. Jaax contracted the dis
ease while visiting sister in Mime
apolis and he became sick just three
weeks after having been exposed. His
sister had recovered but the children
it seemed were not fully over the dis
ease when he visited them.
