LONG TRIP FOR LIGHTSHIPS.
Small Craft Leave for san Francisco by
Way OF the straits OF Magellan.

The steel lightships Blunt's Reef No. 49,
and Relief, No. 20, built at Camden. n. j..
for service on the Pacific Coast, sailed from
Tompkinsville yesterday for San Fran
cisco. They are homely and small craft,
but very stanch, and it Ia thought that they
will weather the blasts OF two oceans over r
course of nearly $1,000 miles without mis-
hap. They are in command of Capt +. NJ.
Trott, who is aboard the Blunt's Reef. the
larger boat, and will touch at Porto Rico
and South American ports TO repenish their
coal supply.
They will go through the Straits of Magel-
Ian. thus avoiding the dangers of rounding
the Horn. When the wind is favorable
they will Use sail TO save coal. The con-
tract for building the ships was given to
the Camden shipyards because they bid
much lower than builders on the Pacific.
It is said, however, that the expense of the
coal the ships will burn to get to San Fran
cisco may bring their cost up to larger
figure than was asked by the Pacific
builders

came across a capeized rowboat, clinging
to the keel OF which were two men. Ropes
were thrown to the men. but they made
no effort to catch them. This as the skipper
found later, was because their hands were
frozen to the keel, and no effort of their
will could unloose the frigid clutch. They
could talk only in chattering whispers.

SKIRuIsHING GOES on.
Oyama Reports That Russians ere beaten
In Every Clash

Special cable Despatch 10 THE SuS
TOXIC, Feb. IA Marshal Oyama reports
that in all the recent skirmish encounters
the Russians have been repulsed. They
continue entrenching work actively in the
vicinity of Heikoutai.
The latest information about the battle
OF Heikoutai. in which Gen. Gripenberg
suffered such signal defeat, shows that
the Japanese fought against much greater
odds than was at first supposed. Some
estimate that the Russians outnumbered
them TO e.
In a like manner. the Russian losses were
underestimated at hrst. They are now
believed to havebeen over IS. goo, not count
ing the large number who were disabled
by frostbite. The condition Of the Russian
wounded found on the field Of battle by
the Japanese substantiates the statements
Of prisoners to the effect that the Russian
soldiers are in sad need OF proper winter
equipment.
The AsGhi says il has reliable authority
for stating that since the battle OF the Sha
River in October the Russians have COL
lected $50 900 troops between the Sha River
and Hardin, Of which 2sO,Oo0 are upon the
Sha River or fighting line. The Asdhi
says that not only the Russian rank and
file, but the officers, try TO avoid fighting,
many going to the rear under the pretext
OF illness.
