Earnest and River is Passed With
out the Least Opposition.

An Associated Press dispatch Of
Thursday from Toxic states that the
Japanese invasion of Manchuria has
begun. The fighting men of the milk
ado are swarming across the Yalu at
many points and are establishing them
selves in strong positions.
The advance of the Japanese into
Manchuria began Wednesday when
portion of the imperial guard crossed
the river at Wiju.
The passage Of the Yalu was unop-
posed, although a detachment of Cos
sacks was on the hills to the north Of
the river. The Cossacks retired as the
Japanese advanced.
At other points the passage of the
river was effected by the japanese,
and strong body Of troops is now in
Manchuria.
Although the authorities in Toxic
are reticent, it is believed that they
expect early news Of an important
land battle in Manchuria.

ANARCHIST AFTER KING.
Bomb is Thrown at Alfonso While
on a Visit to Barceiona-No Ma
terial Damage Done.

AID official telegram received in Mad
rid, from Barcelona, states that as
King Alfonso was leaving the exhib.-
ton Thursday a 'petard" exploded
iniuring two peasants. One arrest was
made.
King Alfonso arrived at Barcelona
Wednesday for a fortnight's visit to
Catalonia He was accompanied by
Premier Maura and Minister Linares
aIAl a numerous suite. The visit OF
the king to Barcelona, the hot bed Of
republicanism, caused the greatest dis
quiet in Spanish official quarters, AS
it was feared the republicans and So
Cialists would vent on the king their
hatred Of the premier, whose strong
measures dealing with the strike riot
ers had made him very unpopular. AS
preventive measure large numbers
of anarchists and other suspects were
arrested last week and a cruiser, three
gunboats and large force Of gen
darmes were sent to Barcelona.
The Spanish king was accorded a
respectful reception at Barcelona.
The streets were decorated with flags
and lined by enormous crowds of PEG
pie.
It was estimated that there were
100000 persons in the streets, and the
pressure was so great that the cordons
of troops were repeatedly broken by
the people who were anxious to see
their monarch. and the king was thus
separated from his attendants.

CHOLERA AND TYPHOID
Diseases said to BE Killing Soldiers
by the Score in Harbin-Forces
Arrive in Terribly Emaciated
Condition.

A st. Petersburg special says: The
Japanese are not the only enemies the
Russians have to fight. They have
cholera and typhoid fever to contend
with. as we'll as the armies of Japan
Advices received from Hardin state
that the two diseases named are cpl
demic there and that hundreds OF
troops have been stricken.
The new levies are the greatest sur
ferers. These men reach Hardin ar
ter fve-thousand-mile journey in
terribly emaciated condition and fall
easy victims to cholera and typhoid.
Hundreds of the troops who are
arriving at Hardin from European
Russia are suffering from frost-bittel
noses, feet and hands. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to meet soldiers on the
streets of Hardin whose noses have
dropped off as a result Of frost bite.
Of course the cholera and typhoid,
which is raging, finds easy marks in
soldiers whose strength has been sap
ped by the trials they had to undergo
on the journey to Hardin.
ChoIera's Fearful Ravages.
The mortality, according to advices
received in st. Petersburg, is very
great, and is said to be increasing
daily. Entire regiments are reported
unfit for service.
The military authorities express
much concern over the reports from
Hardin. They fear that unless the
cholera is checked it will render the
Russian armies unable to meet the
Japanese in the field
The cause of the epidemic is ascrib-
ed to the filthy conditions which exist
at Hardin. The streets are full OF
offal and refuse, and the soldiers have
to use the water of the Sungari river,
which is as foul as any sewer.
Hardin is the Russian base i'll Man
churla. From Hardin all troops arrlV-
ing for the front are distributed. Thus
it is apparent that an epidemic of chol-
era at Hardin threatens the entire Rus
san army in the east.
No ConsuIs to Manchuria.
A Washington special says: The
state department has decided to find
temporary employment for the persons
recently appointed to consular offices
in Manchuria and will make no effort
to place them at their designated posts
pending the issue of the war between
Russia and Japan Mr. Cheshire, who
was nominally United States consul
to Mukden, will be attached to the
