NORTH SEA INQUIRY
Finds Few New Facts in Regards to
Attack on Trawers.

| Paris, Feb. 3.-A gentleman who has
had an opportunity Of ascertaining at
first hand number Of facts Connected
with the Dogger Bank affair. gives the
| following interesting particulars:
The Russians thought the trawlers
green rockets We're Japanese signals
As soon as the rockets were observed
by the Kamchatka she altered her
| course and went laundering into the
west squadron, where she met the Au-
rora. They signalled each other but rs
they were working from two different
code books they did not understand one
| another and the kamchatka opened fir
on the Aurora. The first shot struck on
the stHrhoard bow, killing three men.
The Aurora returned the fire, but with
| light deck guns. chiefly one FOUNDERS.
| 1t was shot from these guns that
killed the captain of the Crane and the
| man Smith and finally sank the boat.
The firing continued about 20 minutes
at distance well under half mile the
Eamchatka using her bow guns ami
EcgsinG AWAY and the Aurora using her
fighting tops. Both ships got in
to action quickly and from them the
ira WlerS were cannonaded. Whenever
the SearchlightS showed Il traWler they
fired at il.
The Aurora received 10 shells in her
middle section tIrcd from the kamcha-
tka. Although II men We're killed AMI
- were wounded on board the Aurora.
The dead with the exception Of Il
priest, were bEricd at sea. some off tn"
Goodwin SannS and others at Nigo.
Three who did later from their wounds
We're buried at TanSicr.
The weak point i'll the case before the
COMMISSION Of inquiry is THAT there are
lao officers of the Aurora present. ii
would BE- interesting to know what
they could say and what they did FAY
at NiSp. The fact is hat tie two ships
got Il night alarm 1nd fired INTO eacn
other This was the real origin OF tn
whole incidtnt. Russian officers who
realize what actually happened on the
Doeger bank are for Obvious reasons

ment of other portions of the line or
a cavalry movement around the flank
was doomed to failure from the start
The Japanese We're at Heikoutai but
withdrew it's small force from there
and allowed the Russians to occupy the
positions until they could move over
enough men to make its recapture GER
tain.
The re-occupation of this position
was easily accomplished although the
loss was heavy. The casualties have
not yet been reported but it is believed
they will amount to fully 5000.
The Russians have five divisions en-
gagged at Heikoutai and in that vicin-
ity. They We're driven back by less
than two japanese divisions.
Over 100000 men were engaged in
the Russian demonstrations against
Heikoutai, but only about one Japan
csc division was sent against them.
The Russian loss is estimated al over
1000 although prisoners say that one
regiment was practically annihilated.
The japanese loss is only placed at 200,
due to the fact that they remained in
their trenches while the Russians were
forced to cross open ground soldly
frozen, where the construction of shell
ter trenches was impossible The
ground being covered with snow was
naturally a great disadvantage to the
attacking force as it was plainly Wis
ible against the white background for
a long distance. The Japanese suffered
the same disadvantages in the recap
ture of Heikoutai.
The weather was very cold during
the fighting. the minimum being six
degrees below zero and the maximum
IA degrees above zero. The Russians
did not retreat north, but retired well
cut of range with no sign of further
activity.
During the fighting the left wing of
the japanese was heavily bombarded
from the Russian positions along the
whole front. The japanese made only
feeble reply.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
iniectant and purifier in nature but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take Of it the better: it is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other Odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural anu
eminently safe cathartic.

collect in the stomach and bowels; y
