Terrific Battle Raging on Russian
Left Flank.
JAPS SUCCESSFUL so FAR
PLAN MET WITH
SEVERE CHECK.
CT. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27--1:s5 a

OF PETERSBURG, Feb. Elias a
y m.-An action of no mean proper
tions is in progress on the Rus
sian left flank. The advantage thus
far is on the side of the Japanese,
though at heavy cost. From advices
from the front it is difficult to say how
severe the losses have been or how de-
cisive the reverse, and whether the ia
Panese are likely to attempt to drive
~ the Russian left front much further
General Kuropatkin evidently has
teen trying to establish his left flank
ings of the Taitse river, the operation
penberg's movement on the right flank
preparatory TO the breaking up of the
ice in the spring. The scene of the OPP
erations is fifty miles southeast Of
tant defile commanding the road to
Fushun Both armies occupying ap-
Parently impregnabIe positions on the
centers. General Kuropatkin evidently
planned to inaugurate widely sweeping
operations on both TANKS. But the ia
paneSe countered hard.
Associated Press dispatches from the
front indicate that the weather is fine
and favorable for operations and that
all is quiet on the Russian right wing.
According TO a NladivOstOk report TO
the Associated Press, the entrance to
that harbor is open and the squadron,
which is seaworthy. is apparently TAX
ing no risks, but is saving its strength

TO OVERTHROW CASTRO
Arrival of Venezuelan Revolutionist
to Confer With the State
nenartment

former supreme judge of the supreme
representative of the unsuccessful revo-
luton against President Castro in 1888.
who has arrived here from Curacao, on
the steamer Maracaibo. comes. the Her
aid VIII say tomorrow. to urge the United
States to refrain from interfering in the
affairs of Venezuela until a revolution
now being organized shall have deposed
Castro.
In an interview Judge Andara said:
we believe that if the United States
interferes at the present time it will
create complex situation. In Vene-
zUela both the national and liberal par
ties are united against Castro and we are
confident we can overthrow him our
selves and save the United States from
a possibly unpleasant affair ! believe
that all foreign nations look to this cOun-
try Tor the proper payment of their claims
awarded by the protocol. If Castro is
United States to collect; but we can save
the embarrassment that would naturally
arise.
Il am employed to pledge the present
heads of the movement against Castro
TO the payment of the awards against
Venezuela and to assure contestants for
property rights in that country that strict
impartiaiity will be observed.
General GregoriO S. Yerera is the leader
of the movement and acting with him in
Fornales and Paroles. When the revo-
luton under General Mateos was brought
abruptly TO an end at La Victoria in 1906
IL was because the revOlutioniSts lacked
materials of war and provide another
source Of help even greater than NUM-
tons OF war-that is public opinion

BODY FOUND WAS NOT
THE ONE LONG SOUGHT

Paris, Feb. ga preliminary exam
inatiOn which Ambassador Porter is
making for the body of John Paul
Jones, the naval hero of the revOlu-
tionary war recently disclosed a lead
coffin. The name plate on the coffin
was very much cOrrOded, but the de-
scription has finally been deciphered,
showing that it was the coffin of an
Englishman buried May ., 1870, two
years before the death of Jones. Con-
sequently the coffin will not be opened.
The examination continues.
The finding OF this lead coffin has the
advantage of establishing that those
buried i'm the Protestant cemetery about
the time of Jones death lie in the vi
cinity of the present excavations.

Subscriber Writes Against Granting
Street Car Grab.
The Salt Lake Herald.

To The Salt Lake Herald:
Tomorrow CMonday) night. the petition
of the Utah Light & Railway requesting
that the franchise or grab it has on this
city be extended so as to give it ninety
years more in which TO give the citizens
poorer street car service and wretched
lighting, will be presented to the city
council. The uppermost question at this
writing is-what will the council dO2
IN all such matters it is customary TO
refer to the proper committee for con-
sideration. but in this particular case It
is the opinion and the wish of many tax
payers that the council will, just as soon
as the petition or request is read. prOmp-
tIy deny it Such a request should have
no further consideration than its first
reading to the council. 1t is a df-
rect insult TO every member hold
ing a vote in the council and
therefore should be treated as such. If
the request should be referred TO a COM
mittee out of courtesy 70 the Utah Light
& Railway company. there is no telling
the complications that may arise pending
the final vote on the proposition; besides,
it will be the cause of wrangle upon
wrangie for the balance of the terms or
one-third the members of The present
council
So. in the interest of peace and that the
council may be allowed to attend to its
legitimate business many hope that the
request. when it IS first presented. may
die a 'bOrnin-' PRO BONO.
