dations of her independence and in
tegrity at the close of the war, and
that to avert anarchy and chaos the
empire must be we'll armed and ready.
The Manchu civil and military author
tiles are accordingly rearming the
various banner organizations, Manchu,
Mongol and Chinese. To the end of
February, % battalions over and above
the 1000 Manchus equipped with good
arms in 1902, had been provided with
either Mannilcher or Mauser magazine
rifles. Factories are working to pro-
vide 30, 900 more for the Chinese forces
at Pekin. These forces will form the
nucleus of a modern Chinese army to
be organized without delay. An army
of half million men is expected to be
ready, we'll armed, for the defense Of

COST TO RUSSIANS
THEY HAVE LOST 100000 men
in THE FAR EAST WAR.
War Office Criticisms Backed Up by
Exact Figures up to March 12-
Thought Lightly of Japanese Sol.
diers-Exposing Secrets Causes Sen.
sation in st. Petersburg.

Stung by the wholesale criticism
lately heaped upon the war Office for
it's unpreparedness and incapacity in
providing the Manchuran army with
men, guns and munitions, the govern
ment lays bare what has been done
since the opening of the war, giving
the exact figures.
From these it appears that up to
March II the war office has dispatched
1908 officers, 761 ,467 men, 146,30S
horses, 1921 guns and 3,163,321 tons
of munitions and supplies to the
front. Declaring that the transporta-
ton strained the Siberian railroad to
its utmost capacity, the army organ
admits that the army in the far east
when the war was begun was hardly
worth the name (no figures being
given) but it is known that the troops
did not exceed $4,000 men, practically
defenseless because the emperor de-
sired to avoid war, and, therefore, re.
Trained from sending reinforcements,
which surely would have provoked it.
Taken by Surprise.
The criticism that the war office
failure to adequately supply Port Ar.
thur is met by the statement that it
was provisioned for a garrison of II
battalions, the decision to put 80 bat
talions there being taken so late that
the original calculations could not be
remedied. While affirming that the
quick firing guns and field guns of the
Russians are superior to those OF the
japanese, the war office explains that
the misfortune in the insufficiency OF
the mountain guns was due to the fact
that when the war broke out Russia
was just adopting a new pattern. 1t
is denied that the war Office was de
ceived in regard to the available
strength of the Japanese army or the
organization of the Japanese reserves
but the organ frankly admits that the
talents of the officers and the wonder
full spirit of the soldiers were miscal
culated.
Nearly 100000 Men Sacrificed.
L
created a sensation. Many of the mil
itary men are censuring the genera
staff for disclosing secrets, and tinc
a practical admission that the war has
cost almost 100000 men in killed
wounded prisoners and sick, as the
whole effective army in the far east Is
now believed not to exceed 10000 men
The preliminary press censorship or
books in Russian, as we'll as foreign
languages has been removed. the
books now printed go to the censor
by whom their sale must be authorized
within seven days, or, if it is alleged
that they violate the criminal law, the

FIVE men LOST Their LIVES
Drowned in the Missouri River While
Building a Dyke.

ST. Joseph, Mo, March 28.-Five
men lost their lives in the Missouri
river here yesterday. The dead:
Billy Lewis.
Oscar Lewis.
Harry Talent.
Harry Smith.
Howard Hutchinson.
The men were engaged in dyke build
ing operations on the Kansas side, OPP
posite the water pumping station.
They had been brought to the Missouri
side each evening by small steamer,
but on account of heavy wind and
rainstorm this evening the steamer was
delayed and the men, rather than spend
the stormy night in a shack on the
Kansas bank, determined to cross in a
skiff. About midstream the overload
ed skiff was swamped by the nigh
waves and four of the men sunk in the
muddy water and were seen no more.
Hutchinson was seen swimming, but
sank before help could reach him.
None of the bodies has been discovered.

With total for the last week of 26,-
900 aliens and with the prospects of
at least $4,000 more to come in on
the steamers arriving this week, it
is probable that all immigration fig
ures will be broken before the spring
is ended. From all parts of Europe
aliens are beginning to arrive and it is
likely the resources at Ellis island
will be more than taxed in providing
for them.
