on the failure of the recent cavalry raid

OF, other portions of the line or a cavalry
movement around the flank, was doomed to
failure from the start. The japanese were
at HeikGutai but withdrew it's small force
from there and allowed the Russians to oe-
cupy the positions until they could move
over enough men to make it's recapture GER
tain
The reoccupation 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 had five divisions engaged
at Heikoutai and in that direction. They
were driven hack by less than two Japan
csc divisions.
over 100 900 men were engaged in the
Russian demonstration against the Japan

successful. only about one Japanese divi-
sion was sent against them: The Russian
loss is estimated at over. 1000, although
PtISuileis say mat one regiment was prac-
tiCally 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, solidly frozen, where
the construction of shelter trenches was
Impossible. The ground being covered with
snow was naturally great disadvantage
to- the attacking force, as it was plainly
visible against the white background for
long distance.
The Japanese suffered the same disadvan-
tages in the recapture of Heikoutai. The
weather was very cold during the fighting
the minimum being degrees below zero
and the maximum, IA degrees above zero.
The Russians did not retreat north, but
retired well out of range, with no sign of
further activity.

tractor has been notified that in the future
poor work will not be allowed. and the in
spectors have been ordered to cut off all

MI. Biau complained that lexington
place. between Florida avenue and Quincy
StIeet, Is always covered with accumu-
.atlon OF mud or dust, and that although it
Is scheduled for one sweeping a week it
mas never been swept since 1t was paved a
year ago. He asked that lexington place
re swept at least three time week. Mr..
Biau also declared that North Capitol street
from street to Truxton Circle and New
forK avenue from LIST street east to 1st
street west are in a dirty condition, and
tnat they ought to be ~sWept nv hand in
stead OF by machines.

CHINESE NEW YEAR
HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES.

Chinese New Year is here, and the China
men are feeling lone year older than they
did a year ago. They say SO, whether it is
so not. A Chnamahs birthday is of no
more Importance to him than is the nth

the all-important event to him. There was
a lively scene enacted last night in China
town in each Chinese apartment, where
preparations were being made to receive
the guests today. Great care was taken by
the merchants, laundrymen and others in
the matter of arranging their gay-colored
pictures, ornaments of every description
and fruits and candies
Shake Hands With Themselves.
Every Chinaman in the city shook his
own hands a number of times today and
wished his fellow-countrymen a happy new
year and much prosperity. With the Chi
namen everything is prosperity. The uues-
ton of health gives him but little concern.
He feels that his body will be taken back
to China some time after death, if he is
unable to accumulate wealth enough to
take him back before he dies Early this
morning Chinese residents hurried to the
joss house on Pennsylvania avenue and
performed their religious duty of Offering
UP incense 10 joss ana paying tribute In
other ways. Fortunes were told by the
shaking of sticks and the celestials left to
receive visitors and enjoy the Chinese good
things.

been allowed for the preparation
of the defense. Chairman Nc.
