UNITED STATES MONEY.
spAuna VIII Adopt the Currency of
xf1ik Country,

Washington, May at has been said
that Panama Wal adopt the money Of
the United States. and win not coin mon
ey of its own This according to latest
information. is fne6rrect
The Panama legislature has already
provided for the coinage of subsidiary
currency to the amount of about 81. 5GO. 900.
The only money current on the isthmus
now is the Colombian silver. This will be
melted down and recoined as fast as the
work can be done. when arrangements
have once been completed
Our paper money is now circulating
there to limited extent, and it seems
likely that, when the United States once
begins work on large scale on the canal
the volume of money paid out for wages
will become the principal money OF the
isthmus
The Panama coinage will be on the gold
basis. but there will be a coin to accom-
modate the general use of silver CORE
spending to the "conants" coined for use
in the Philippines. This silver coin will
be called a dollar and two of them will
pass for our gold dollar.
The ISthmianS are accustomed to our
money and like it. Even the Indians back
in the remote mountain and forest regions
will take the ordinary United States sill
Yer dollar certificate and are glad to
get it.

London, May 25.-Rumor is unceas-

firmation.
The Daily Nails correspondent at

Dispatches to the Daily Telegraph
show that on May 16 the japanese
headquarters were still at Feng Wang
Cheng. This the correspondent attri?
butes the necessary for joint action
with the Japanese army which has
landed at PitsewO. They explain that
communication has not yet been estab-
lshed between the two japanese ar
mics, but that it is expected to be
effected within n few days. The dis
patches say that the telegraph lines be-
south have been cut by Russians dis
guised as Chinese. The movements of
war correspondents the dispatches say.
are limited to a radius of mile and a
half from Feng Wang Cheng.

greatest battle of the war will be fought
He adds that the japanese land opera
tons against Port Arthur are meeting
with little success and that Lieut.. Gen
Stoessel and Major General Frok continue
to make well-directed but desperate sor-
ties against the advance of the Japan
csc. who are. fighting with stubborn de-
termination. Several hundred japanese
have been killed during the past few
days. japanese endorsements are arriv-
ing daily from Pitsewo and Polandien.

hesieged by the Japanese and it's surren-
der is momentarily expected.
The Standards Tien Tsin correspondent
asserts that the Chinese government is
still levying heavy military contributions
from the provinces. and he thinks that
this accumulation of silver at Pekin fore
shadows some foolhardy action by the
Chinese.
1t is reported from Brussels that the
Russian government is making great ef-

land and Belgium to accompany the

Included in n score of rumors is one

results of Russian censorship. The
letter is written in the usual oh1clal
Russian style and bears the stamp OF
the censor. 1t states that the writer
is in good health, that admirable order
prevails among the troops, who are
certain of victory and amply supplied
with necessaries, and that the surgeons
have hardly anything to do. 1t con-
cludes with request that the mother
send some Hebrew books, of which 1t

There are scarcely any appliances. De-
moraliZation of the army is constantly
increasing. There is an end of disci-

Evidently the censor did not know

impossible for Vice Admiral Togo to

The foreign Office states that it has
not received any protest regarding the
alleged planting of mines by Rear Adj
miral Wittsoeft, outside the marine
limit at Port Arthur.
The admiralty denies the report of
the capture of three Japanese cruisers
by the Vladivostok squadron, which

CONTINUED SkIRMlSHING
Between Japs and Russians-Feng
Wang Cheng Evacuated.

Lao Yang. May 24.-There is con-
tinued skirmishing between the Rus
sian cavalry and the Japanese. Cos
sacks are harassing the Japanese in
the hills and by-roads, generally driv-
ing them back.
The general plan of the japanese has
not been divulged. They are appar-
emily marking time, awaiting the ar
rival of reserves from Corea who have
been delayed owing to the impossible
ity of the roads.
The japanese are sending all in
valids in the direction of the Yalu to
a central hospital.
The Chinese report the destruction
of another battleship off Port Arthur.
but the report is unconfirmed and is
not credited.
Several japanese who landed from
junks near Port Arthur and started
toward the town with the intention of
dynamiting the docks, We're captured
and shot.
The Russian wounded are recover
ing rapidly. Several wounded soldiers
deserted from the hospital and stole
back to the front.
\ typhOOn is raging off the coast.
General kuropatkin has just re-
turned from n tour of inspection of the
Russian camps, with the general health
of which he is greatly pleased.
1t is reported from Chinese source
that the japanese have evacuated Feng
Wang Cheng and are occupying vii
lagos in the surrounding country.
There is no explanation of this move,
but it is thought that it may be con-
nected with the prevailing cholera cpl
demic.
A report has been received from New
Chwang saying that on May IS, five
battalions of japanese troops recon-
noitered to the south almost as far Is
King Chou, and ran into Major Cen
eral Foci's artillery. which WAS strong
ly posted on the heights in a narrow
section of the Lao Tung peninsula ard
that the Japanese We're entirely wiped
