TOXIC, June 7.-Dispatches received
here say that Russian wireless message
from Port Arthur has been intercepted
by the japanese, which indicates that the
Russians there plan to act simultaneously
with General Kuropatkin in an effort to
dispose of the japanese force now threat
ening Port Arthur.
Kuropatkin had planned to attack the
japanese from the rear and the front and
thus annihilate the enemy's force. As Il
result of this information an entire divi-
sion of troops is being dispatched from
Toxic, part OF which will land at Dalny
and the remainder at Kinchow.
The japanese expect to have an army of
100000 ready by the end OF the week to
meet any emergency.

SCOUTING BY TELEPHONE.

Scouting with the aid of the tele- phone has become one Of the features of modern warfare and is now being made use of by the Japanese" says the Western Electrician. Two scouts proceed from the lines toward the enc my: one, the observer, is a skilled army officer, who makes the observa- tions. which are transmitted back to headquarters through a telephone line paid out from a reel carried by an elec- trician Of the signal corps. A ground return is used. the ground being made by thrusting a bayonet or hatchet into the earth and attaching one end of he line to it. The electrician carries battery on his back. He also makes the connection and does the talking. A specail conductor is used, which will stand the rough usage. Tn this man ner a scout may be able to stay out a long. time and give valuable informa- ton without being obliged to make a number of hazardous trips to the front"
