DARING COSSACK RAIDERS INFLICT HEAVY DAMAGE
upon GENERAL 0YAMAy LINE Of COMMUNICATION
Kuropatkin Reports the Capture of
Japanese Stores.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 16.-Gen-
eral Kuropatkin, in dispatch to EN-
peror Nicholas, reporting the Russian
cavalry raids on January 10 and Janu-
ary II, says:
"The japanese suffered heavily The
Russian losses during those two days
We're three officers killed and ten
wounded, and fifteen soldiers killed and
forty-nine wounded"
The general adds that the cavalry
captured a quantity of stores and pris-
oners, and says that the Japanese
stores at Yinkow were ablaze for near
ly the whole night of January IL.
The text of General Kuropatkin's re-
port is as follows:
During the evening of January 10
one and half companies of Japanese
anese dragons were defeated with
great losses.
"On January IL Japanese company
and two squadrons of cavalry. which
were occupying Newchwang, were
driven out by the Cossacks, who occu-
pied the place and afterward pursued
the company, defeating it and infiict-
ing heavy loss. The same night our
patrols damaged the railway line, tele-

airy defeated several small detach-
ments and captured one officer, four
teen soldiers and 500 carts with stores
Our casualties were three officers killed
and ten wounded, and fifteen soldiers
killed and forty nine wounded.
"On January II our patrols damaged
the railway six miles from Yinkow. At
d. m on January II a Russian de-
tachment reached Yinkow. Our artil-
lery cannonaded the station, set fire to
the stores and later stormed the sta
tion. The japanese opened with rifles
and machine guns and our men sought
shelter in bitches and again attacked,
until they reached the railroad line,
when a strong column of Japanese in
fantry appeared, advancing from Tai
shikiao. Our forces, being inferior, re-
tired. carrying away nearly all the
killed and wounded. The stores at Yin
kow were .ahlaze the whole night.
1T is now cold at night but warm
and bright during the day."
A telegram from SiakhOtan states
that General Mistchenko'S raiding
force, learning that five Japanese bat
talions had appeared near Tashikiow,
returned northward and succeeded in
regaining the Russian lines. Their
losses were about 300 killed or wound
ed, all the latter being brought away.

japanese Say Port Arthur Could
Have Held Out Much Longer.

PORT ARTHUR, Saturday, Jan. IA
On Friday, January 13, the victorious
Japanese army formally entered Port
by his staff. entered first through the
old town and took his stand In the
public square of the new town. The
army, which was represented by one
regiment from each brigade, then
formed in procession and passed the
saluting base. This procession was Ave
miles long. Then the army passed out
of the city through the new town.
1t is evident, many of the Japanese
say, that the surrender of the fortress
was not necessary, as there were Sl,OOO
effective fighting men in the fortress.
The ammunition was short, but 1t had
not been exhausted. Food was scarce,
but private stores had not been re-
Questioned by the military, and there
is no difficulty in getting good meals In
the city even now from stores in the
possession of private persons.
The position, it is said, was capable
of being defended for months longer.
1t is the opinion of non-combatants at
Port Arthur that surrender was not
necessary, as the troops were willing
and able to fight to the bitter end.
General Stoessel is much blamed by
these non-combatants for what they
characterize as the disgraceful con-
clusion of a splendid defense. which
ended with the death of General Kon-
dratenko, who was much loved by the
soldiers and who, they point out. was
the life of the defense.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE latest news
as to the condition of Port Arthur when
it was surrendered to the Japanese oc-
casicns much discussion as to General
StoessePs reason for capitulating. Crit
icism, however, Is generally lenient,
there being q tendency to regard Gen
eral Nogi's tributes to General Stoes-
sells courageous defense as much in his
favor, and the inclination is to credit
General Stoessel with the knowledge
that the morale of his garrison was
shattered.
The Daily Telegraph's Kobe corre-
spondent gives a somewhat theatrical
account of the final meeting of the gen.
erals at Port Arthur prior to the sur
render. which account was obtained
from Russian generals at Nagasaki.
to this story, twelve generals
assembled at General Stoessers house.
Asked the reason for two additional
vacant chairs, General Stoessel, burst
ing into tears, explained that they for
merly belonged to beloved departed,
dHu, HdNiHs pdiu lliUulc " the Sdl-
ant dead. General Stoessel abruptly
exclaimed:
"Well, gentlemen, 1 presume we will
fight till the end"
The discl sion which ensued showed
that the only alternatives were prompt
surrender or speedy annihilation. Then
champagne glasses were filled and the
Emperor's health was solemnly hon.

In an address at the Woolwch Royal Mill
tary Academy-which though much inferior to
West Point is considerably ahead of the Sand

planned that the examinations showed that the

that Lord Roberts was addressing young gen.

ners.
The days of heroic daring. hair
breadth escapes, dire massacres and
wild rides across the plains are revived
by this wonderfully realistic exhibition
of Pawnee Bills The shrek of the
locomotive has taken the place of the
warwhoop of the red man and the
tomahawk and the scalping knife have
been supplanted by the implements of
agriculture. The freebooters of the
frontier have disappeared before the
advance of the white man and civiliza-
ton.
The times of intense romance and
lonely tragedy are no more, and even
the remembrance of them, as recalled
by Pawnee Bills exhibition. seems but
as dream drawn from the pages Of
strange and weird story. Pawnee
Pill, however, does something more
than recall memories engendered in
our minds from reading Fenimore
Cooper and other writer's. He presents
the lights and shadows Of early Amer
lean life. and he has also gathered the
representatives of much that is daring
and romantic in Europe. It is an ex.
hibition that from start to finish stirs
the blood and makes the heart beat
faster.
The "Wild West is, however, some
thing more than an entertainment; It's
educational value is very great, and
children enjoy 1t as much as their ell
ders. The program is long and COM
prehensive The beholder Is trans,
ported from the plains of America to
the deserts of Arabia, from the steppes
of Russia to the torrid cline of Mexico
and the home of the bull fighter to the

ment, and stamping Of horses and
clanking Of sabres. and wild shrieks
