TWO SHIPS SEIZED.
While Attempting to Run the Block
ade at Port Arthur.

Toxic, Dec. 20.-The japanese pro
tected cruiser Tsushima seized the
British steamer Negretia, bound for
Vladivostok, off Ulsan, Korea, yester-
day. An examination of the Negretia' s
cargo showed she had a large quantity
of contraband of war on board. She
was sent to Sazebo for trial before the
prize court.
1t is reported that the Negretia had
on board officers and men of Russian
torpedo boat destroyers who had
escaped from internment at Shanghai
and were attempting to regain the
Russian lines.
The Negretia belongs to Allan &
Co., of Leith, Scotland.
The British steamer King Arthur
was captured while attempting to
leave Port Arthur yesterday by the
Japanese guardship Azagirf. 1t is un-
derstood that the King Arthur took
supplies to Port Arthur. She had on
board Russian naval officers, who were
attempting to join the Russian second
Pacific squadron. The King Arthur
was taken to Sazebo for trial.

LOOK OUT FOR RABBITS.
State Journal Correspondent Says
Farmers Are Poisoning Them.

Perhaps rabbit hunting and rabbit eat
ing is more dangerous than some people
think, since the farmers around Topeka
have begun waging on the hunters
who disturb them and shoot their stock.
The State Journal has received the fol-
lowing letter from A. l.. Knapp, a we'll
known farmer, living west of Topeka:
1.-THE farmers on the west side of town
have been SO annoyed by hunters that
they are poisoning the rabbits. Would 1t
not be well to inform the dealers and otn-
ers against buying them, as there is dam
ger of poison
The farmers east of Topeka caused the
arrest and finlng of three youthful hun
tiers. Three more warrants were issued
for young men who had hunted on farms
east of town without permission. That
seemed a dangerous locality, so the young
hunters have gone to the west country.
The farmers there, to stop the annoy
ance of hunters, nave evidently begun
poisoning the rabbits in order TO kill Off
the game, so there will be nothing to
hunt and also in hopes that the fact that
rabbits are being poisoned VIII stop people
from using them.

REMEDY FOR FEVER TICKS
BECOMES SERIOUS PROBLEM

Tulsa, I. T., July 20.-Dr. S. G..
Kennedy of Tulsa, finished dipping
four hundred head of cattle in crude
petroleum for the determination Of
the Texas fever tick. This is the first
experiment of this kind in the terri
tory and stock men are looking upon
it with some interest. If the expeFi-
ment succeeds well it is safe to say
that thousands of cattle will be so
treated as soon as possible.
Crude petroleum has been used for
some time in the state of Texas for
the determination of the fever tick
and has been regarded as quite sue
cessful.
In it's natural home the tick spreads
out over large scopes of country and
covers the entire grazing district in
such numbers as to preclude the pos
sibility of any stock escaping from
it's influence. How to rid the country
of it has been the subject of grave
study by stockmen and entomologists
for years.
The petroleum cure was advanced,
which so far promises favorable re-

London, July Elm British official
circles the recent seizures and over
hauling of British ships in the Red
sea by the Russian volunteer fleet
steamers Smolensk and st. Peters
burg are regarded as very grave inter
national incidents. The seizure of
the Peninsular and Oriental steamer
Malacca by the st. Petersburg and
her arrival in the Suez canal as a
prize of war on her way to Libaud
on the Baltic, has come to climax
and the cabinet is considering the
course to pursue. The British law
officers acknowledge the right OF the
Russians to seize and detain mails,
provided only official communications
are taken, but they take the most
serious view of the status of the two
Russian ships patrolling the Red sea
and if any official action or protest
ensues it will be chiefly in regard to
the passage of the erstwhile merchant
ships through the Dardenelles and
their subsequent transformation into
ships of war.

Encountered So Many Japs That The

Track-Fifteen Hours Of Fierce
Fighting-kuropatkin's Report.

London, July 20.-A dispatch from
General Kuroki's headquarters, dated
July II, says:
"a Russian force. apparently about
10000 strong attacked the front, left
and right of the Japanese positions
on the western slope of Mo Tien pass
under cover of dense fog. The sud
den onslaught drove in the Japanese
posts, but as soon as reinforcements
arrived the Japanese CALAMITY ad-
vanced to the attack and after Sc
we're fighting drove off the Russians
and reoccupied the position. The
Russians retired, their retreat being
well covered.

the emperor dated July II, on our
eastern front, is given out:
after the occupation by General
Kuropatkins army of the passes in
the Fenshui mountain chain, our in
formation concerning his forces and
dispositions was in general made
quate. According to reports his army
had been reinforced and he had even
extended his forces toward Saimats-
"a. Other reports say that a dis
placement of his troops had been
made in the direction of Ia pass
and Siuyen. There were even indi-
cations that KuroM had transferred
his headquarters from Takhahekan
to Touinpu.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1904-07-29

"On the strength Of the informa-
ton received and on the basis of re-
commissioners which had been made,
the hypothesis was formed that the
principal forces of the enemy were
concentrated around Liam Shankwan
and that their advance guards had
been strengthened in the passes of
Siaokao. Wanfankwan, Sinkia, LAX
no and Papau as well as at Sybey
pass, two and a half miles north of
the road and half the height of STA
okao pass.
"On July II, in order to determine
the strength of the enemy it was de-
cided to advance against his position
in the direction of Lainshankwan.
Lieutenant General Count Keller had
had been instructed not to start with
the object of capturing the pass, but
to act according tn the strength OF
the force that he would find opposed
to him.
The left column Of the expedition
airy force consisting of three battai-
ions, was dispatched toward Sybey
pass. The entire column commanded
by Major General kashtalinsky, con-
sisting of fourteen battalions, with
twelve guns, was destined to attack
Siaokao pass. the heights surmounted
by the temple and Wafankan pass.
The right column. eight battalions
strong, was occupying points where
the roads leading to Sinkia and Lakho
passes crosses, in order to cover the
left flank of General Kashtalinsky's
left at Ikhavuen and portion of the
force occupied a position at that
place.
July 1G, the head of the column adj
vanced from Ikhavuan. A battalion
of the Second regiment dislodged
Japanese outpost at the point of the
bayonet at the crossing of the Lakho
and the Sinkia roads.
"The details of this engagement
have not been verified, but its gen
eral course, according to Geographic
reports sent in by General Kellar
was as follows:
Our losses have not yet been ex-
actly ascertained, but General Kellar

The Russians refuse to talk, but the
Chinese say that on July II and IL
the Japanese captured and occupied
with four thousand men one of the
eastern forts near Port Arthur. Be
fore reinforcements arrived the Rus
slams cut off these four thousand
troops in the forts and exploded mines
which resulted in the killing of every

The Chinese also report that the
night before they left Port Arthur a
Russian torpedo boat sunk merchant

Chinese on board the merchantmen
were drowned, but the white crew of
the steamer and many of her Chinese

Between Great Britain And Russia Is
Growing More Serious.
TALK OF WAR IS VERY PLAIN
Right To Seize All Ships Carrying
Contraband OF War To Japan Is
Claimed BY Russia, While Great
Britain Resents Seizure of Ships.

st. Petersburg, July 22.-The news
that Great Britain has delivered to
Russia a protest against the capture
of the Peninsular and Oriental steam
err Malacca in terms which are be-
lieved to be almost tantamount to a
demand for the immediate release OF
the vessels and as a general protest
against the action of the Russian vol
unteer vessels in stopping ships in
the Red sea is not generally known.
In the hotels and restaurants the war
was temporarily forgotten and moth
ing excepting the possibility OF COM
plications with Great Britain was
talked of. The old resentment against
Great Britain, which had been much
ameliorated of late, became revived
at the mere suggestion that that coun-
try was again seeking to balk Russia,
but the official world which is charged
with the responsibility is keeping cool
and calm.
Provided a blunder has not been
made by the captain of the St. Peters
burg in installing British government
stores for contraband of war, Russia
will probably be prepared to maintain
the justice of the seizure, but if
mistake has been made the govern
ment doubtless will order the Malacca
to be set at liberty and pay the bill
for her i'll timed detention.
Whether Great Britain has followed
up the step then taken here by max
ing representations to the sultan of
Turkey regarding his responsibility
in allowing the volunteer steamer to
pass the Dardenelles is not known in
st. Petersburg, but there is the best
reason for stating that such is not the
case Great Britain has no intention
of re-opening the Dardenelles ques-
ton except possibly as a last re-
sort
