transported we're not so crowded as
the official estimate would seem to
imply. On most of the transports
horses were taken also, or supplies of
one sort or another. so that no effort
was made to take all the men they
could carry. The Japanese did not
attempt to fit hunks for their soldiers,
as we do. Each man sleeps on a mat
two and half feet wide by five feet
eight inches long, which he lays down
on the deck. On these transports the
men slept on the upper deck and
horses were carried on the main and
lower decks and in the hold. Each
horse had stall two feet six by six
feet.
What the Japanese intend to make
their main objective is at present pure
speculation, and one mans guess is
just as good as anot1ler's. So far Moth
ing has appeared to make anything
clear. The main road in Korea leads
directly from Pingyang to Wiju, on
the Yalu River. Beyond that it bears
away up through the mountains, by
way of Fengwangcheng toward Muk-
den. The Japanese are already in
force at Pingyang.> 1t seems to be the
expectation here that the Second
Corps, now going forward, will go to
Korea also. If that turns out to be the
fact it will indicate that they proba-
bly, intend to push up the great road
toward Mukden. That will mean a
big fight somewhere about Fengwang-
cheng. The country is very noun
famous and the road execrable. 1t is
SO bad that it has been explicitly said
at the War Office that the army would
not undertake to employ wheeled
transportation of any sort. But that
implies that they will endeavor to
get along without field guns. and 1t is
safe to say that any attempt to drive
the Russians out of their strong posi-
tons with only the assistance of
mountain guns will be extremely
hazardous.
This line of attack. however, threat
ening the Russian line at the center,
would keep the Muscovites guessing.
To occupy. Mukden would be to COM
mand Port Arthur and vladivostok
at once. The vaunted fortress at the
trip of the Liaotung peninsula has al
ready demonstrated it's weakness and
is rapidly assuming the condi-
ton of very sore felon at
the tip of a long finger. When the
Japanese get ready to cut the PENN
sula and shut off its supplies Port
Arthur must come down, unless it is
prepared for a much longer siege than
seems to be the case.
The Chinese have declared neutral
ity in all the country west of the Lao
River and the Japanese have accepted
it. That means that turning move
ment on Mukden, in support of the
main attack on Fengwangcheng would
have to land somewhere about New
chwang. Japanese operations in the
fiat, open country in Manchuria are al

NEwCHwANG. April ?.

NEWCHWANG, April 2-The au-
thorities. here were considerably
aroused to-day by the arrival of a press
boat indiscreetly bearing two japanese
servants, who were arrested and prob
ably viii not be released for several
months. On account Of the fact that
the Russians have not yet arranged
the local status Of correspondents such
indiscretions are apt to be interpreted
as indicating cooperation with inter-
ests inimical TO Russia and 10 inspire
an erroneous conception Of war corre-
spondents in the minds Of the Russian
authorities The entire crew and staff
OF the press boat are under surveil-
lance. and the vessel must leave on the
first favorable tide.
The Russian administrator Of this
city and port so far has been liberal. It
is being managed in the interests Of
commerce. allowing freedom TO the car

tons on the use OF the railway and tel

Doubts Rumor of Battle.

TOXIC, April 1.-THE Navy Depart
ment has no information concerning
an attack on Port Arthur by Vice Ad-
miral Togo, reported to have taken
place during the night of March 3O-31,
and it expresses doubt that another
general attack has occurred. In this
connection a naval officer said it was
possible that a few japanese cruisers
were in the vicinity Of Port Arthur
and that there may have been an ex-
change of shots, but he was certain
that the main Japanese feet had not
been engaged.

TOXIC, Japan, March 17.-Yester-
day began the movement from Toxic
of the First Division of the army. The
public that something was doing in
the military way by knocking to pieces
the train schedule, which had not yet
recovered its old equilibrium after the
wrench 1t got when the first corps
was sent away last month. Not a
word of what is going on appears in
any Of the local newspapers and no
one in any authority will discuss 1t
with even his friends. The outsider is

best way he can. If the result is four.
well and good; If it is not the trouble is
more likely to be with something else
than his mathematics. But this cur
failing of the public service on the
railways means that the second army
is moving out to the port of embarka-
| ton.
1t should be made clear at the out
set that the Japanese army is not or
| ganized in corps. 1t consists of twelve
divisions, each composed of two bril-
gades, and the Imperial Guards, in all
thirteen divisions. In peace times the
regiments number only about half the
men called to the fighting line in war.
The extra men used to fill up the line
to its fighting strength are taken from
the First Reserve. Consequently, when
the first order of mobilization was sent
out on the evening of February 6 1t
was not a general call to all the men
liable for military service, but only to
such as were needed to I'LL up the regi-
ments then under orders, or about to
receive them, for the front-wherever
that mythical place may be. The
troops selected for the first service
have received no official designation as
a whole, but for the sake of convent
ence they may be called the First
Corps They were the Guards, the
Second and Twelfth divisions.
Each brigade consists of two regi-
ments of infantry and for each divi-
sion there is a regiment each of cav
airy and artillery, with a battalion of
engineers and a train, or transport
battalion. The guards are all station
ed in Toxic in peace times, although
their infantry is recruited from all
over the empire. The cavalry
and artillery are recruited from
the Toxic district. The brigades and
regiments of the Japanese army are
numbered individually, without ref
erence to the divisions and brigades
TO which they are attached. Thus the
Second Division is composed of the
Third Brigade, from Sendai, and the
Fifteenth Brigade, from Shibata. The
Third Brigade is composed Of the
Fourth and Twenty-ninth infantry
regiments. both from Sendai, and the
Fifteenth Brigade of the Sixteenth In
fantry, from Shibata, and the Thir-
tieth, from Muramatsu. The head
quarters of the division is at Sendai.
The Twelfth Division has its head
quarters at Kokura. It is composed
of the Twelfth Brigade, headquarters
at Kokura, and the Twenty fourth,
headquarters at Kurame. The Twelfth
Brigade consists of the Fourteenth
and Forty-seventh infantry from Ko-
kura, and the Twenty-fourth Brigade
of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, from
Fukuoka, and the Forty-eighth In

THE SPRINGTiME Is THE TIME
TO CURE CATARRH.
Pe-ru-na to Make Your Cure
Speedy and Permanent.


April. May and June constitute the
spring season. From an astronomical
standpoint March has usually been reck-
oned as a spring month. But from a prac-
teal climatic standpoint March belongs
to the winter months. Not until the
twenty-first day of March does the sun
reach the equator in it's journey north
ward. which brings us the first intima-
ton that the rigors of winter are pass
ing and the balmy influences of spring
are beginning to be felt.
The spring months bring peculiar ply
steal liabilities to those who are well.
They also bring peculiar notifications in
cases of chronic diseases. There is a
phase of catarrh known as spring ca
tarrh. We give typical case.

Half the People That Complain of Indigestion Suffer

Mr.. Charles w. Thompson. Member Of

from Washington. d. c.:
MY cashier has used your Peruna for
| indigestion with the most unexampled
and beneficial results. and I cannot too
highly or earnestly recommend its gen.
eral use"-Chas. W. Thompson.
Indigestion Is most always followed
by catarrh Of the stomach.
There Is no use of taking remedies to
palliate indigestion.
There Is no use calling IL dyspepsia,
and then taking pepsin and other rene
dies to produce artificial digestion.
The only rational procedure is cure the
catarrh Of the stomach. The catarrh once
cured indigestion disappears and there
Is no more dyspepsia Taking artificial
digestants Is simply temporizing with

is lost while the catarrh is fastening tt
