COSSACK LANCERS
IMPALE JAPANESE
Whirlwind-Like Dash by the
Cars Troopers, Who Kill
200 of the Enemy.

KAI-CHOU, Liao-Tung Peninsula, June
IA Russian who was wounded In the fight
near the station at Vagenfuchu (also
known as Vafangow). May 30. says
General Samsonoff attacked the Jap
anese near the railroad. mile from Vagen-
fuchu station. A cornet of the guards was
the hero OF the fight. His sergeant was
lying wounded and japanese officer was
about to ride over him when the cornet
unhorsed the Japanese mounted the latters
horse and placed the wounded man on his
own charger. The Japanese cavalry en-
gagged were the Thirteenth Regiment. Their
horses were splendid animals.
The Japanese lost two hundred killed and
a number of horse in the fight at vagen-
fuchu. The Russians opened fire at In
the morning and after two hours and half
long range firing the japanese. under Gem
eral Akkiama. prepared TO charge and
crush the force. which had been harassing
them for twenty-one days. In the meantime
General Samsonof was approaching Va
genfuchu with strong force OF cavalry.
1t was a sight worth seeing when at the
word of command the Russian squadrons
formed and rushed like a whirlwfnd across
the terribly cut up country, clearing away
all obstacles, the batteries at the same
time trotting along the frfghtful roads,
HAVING passed the IdliTOdQ StdtfOns INC
troops came under the fire OF the japanese
machine guns, but withdrew without suf-
ferng much loss. The Fourth and Sixth
companies of the Eighth Siberian Cossacks
furiously charged the japanese cavalry
with lances, attacking both TANKS. In q
few minutes they literally cut the whole
squadron into pieces. This was the first
time lances were used and they struck
terror into the enemy. In some cases the
lances pierced the riders through and
wounded their horses. Some OF the lances
could not be withdrawn from the bodies
into which they had entered.
The japanese infantry. numbering four
battalions OF 800 men to company. and
eight squadrons OF cavalry. attempted to
advance but the Russian batteries opened
and soon the slope up which the enemy was
advancing was covered with black spots
and the enemy was forced TO scatter and
retire. Some OF the Japanese cavalry were
wonderfully dashing. charging with shouts
upon the Russians who met and scattered
them.
A Cossack who had lost his lance and
sword wrenched a sword from japanese
officer and cut of the officers head. The
Cossacks picked UP boots which had been
taken off by the japanese In order TO facil-
itate their flight and fourished them on
their lanccs trophies The Japanese used
the Boer trick of displaying dummies but
the Cossacks did not waste shot on them.
General Samsonoff highly praised the
practice OF the Russian gunners.

and good wishes for him on his tour abroad.
where he will study the conditions of the

will leave Indianapolis to-day
The banquet was a home-like affair, but
the memory of it will live long in the
minds of the men who were present Per-
haps in his whole career President Mitchell
never received such an avalanche of compli-
ments upon one occasion. During his re-
sponse to the toasts an incident occurred
that brought an outburst of patriotism
and applause from every man present.
President Mitchell was noticeably affect
ed by the words of the POSTMASTER, and
when he arose to respond his voice was
low and earnest During his toast he spoke
CT American citizenship in relation to trade
unionism.
'If the time ever comes in my life," he
said. when / cannot be loyal American

Mr.. Mitchell continued: For l know by

TO KILL FIVE FAT AND
PROSPEROUS CH|cAG0ANS
Mission of Russian Who At
tempted to Shoot Man He
Never Saw Before.
CRAZY OR AN ANARCHIST

CHICAGO, June label Gabiniska, a
Russian, twenty-four years old. was ar
rested tonight after he had attempted to
shoot man named Frank Adams. whom
he had never seen before. He made a des-
perate fight against being placed under ar
rest and fired several shots at the police
officers who took him TO the station
He declared to the police after being ar
rested, that he had been sent to Chicago
by a society in st. Louis with instructions
to kill five fat and prosperous looking
men,"
A paper found in his pocket contained
the names of Mayor Carter II. Harrison
and Alderman Honore II. Palmer He would
not admit that he intended to assassinate
these two men. but said that his instruc-
uons made IL necessary for him TO kill five
fiat and prosperous men,"
Ii cannot be definitely ascertained to-
night whether the man IS demented or an
Anarchist The police. however, are of the
opinion that there is some truth in his
story.

TYPHOID SITUATION HAS
REACHED AN ACUTE STAGE
AND ALARM IS GROWING
Twenty New Cases of the Fever
Are Reported i'll One Day, and
Health Board Is Alarmed.
SAYS WORSE MAY FOLLOW
Prepares for Active War on Dis
ease, and Again Urges that
All Water Be Boiled.

Twenty new cases of typhoid fever were
reported TO the Board of Health yesterday,
the largest number that has been recorded
in one day since the alarming epidemic
began. Most of the cases are of persons
under thirty years of age. The majority
of the patients are men and boys. OF the
two hundred cases last month, 130 were
males.
The City Board of Health held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and decided TO take
immediate action towards stopping the Sc
rious spread of the disease. The members
of the board declared that the situation
is critical.
They believe the height of the epidemic
has not yet been reached, and again en-
phasized that the utmost precautions
should be taken by the people, and all
drinking water be boiled.
The board ordered Ansil Moffat, city
chemist, to make chemical analysis of
four samples of water taken from different
parts of the city. They also ordered DR..
Ferguson, acting city sanitarian, to MAKE
a meteorological test of the city water.
Every effort will be made to ascertain the
exact source of the typhoid
Homes in which there is typhoid will be
visited. and statistics will be taken as to
whether other members of the family
drank the same water as the patient,
whether it was city or well water, etc.
The board notified all hospitals to send
in immediate returns of their cases of ty-
phoid conditions, and has also instructed
all physicians to report their cases without
delay. The board ordered all reports to be
made public, so that the people may know
the exact proportions of the epidemic and
take precaution against its danger
The board was unanimous in believing
that true conditions of the disease should
have been made public, and was at a loss
TO account for DIR. Spencer's object IN
concealing over one-half OF the cases
Members of the board themselves did not
know that typhoid was assuming such
alarming proportions until the facts were
revealed in yesterdays papers.
That the rigid investigation of the city
water should have been made some time
ago, is the belief of most of the city
physicians. Had not the facts in the case
been done. AS il is, many believe that
unless people regard the instructions 10
boil all drinking water the situation may
become appalling.
Physicians agree that the source of ty-
phoid is the water of the city. Dr. Fergil-
son said that he believed there is more
danger in we'll water than in city water
as the mains of the water company are
more readily washed than the wells into
which overflow water from the flood has
Seeped.

Story of Ex-COnvict Guards Confess
sion Believed to Be Untrue.
Valdosta, Ga, Aug. From a tele-
phone communication with a promi-
nent citizen of Midtown this morning
it is believed that the report of the
confession which came from there re-
Gently in regard to the murder OF
Connie Moore and the burning of his
body is not true. The report probably
originated from the fact that an ex-
detective from Atlanta is working in
the Gress camps for some offense, and
that he and the ex-guard from Fargo
are doing the same kind of work, and
are constantly thrown together. 1t
is said, too, that there has been a
general belief in that section that the
eX-guard referred to had cut a mans
throat at Fargo last Christmas, though
Moore was not the man. So the mys-
terry of the disappearance of young
Moore is still unsolved.
