RACES AT ROCKVILLE
FOUR HARNESS CONTESTS AND
ONE RUNNING EVENT.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md, June 6, 1905
Racing, base ball and politics attracted
crowd of probably 1000 persons from diff
ference sections of this county and Wash
fngton city to the Rockville fair grounds
today.
The base ball contest, which was between
the Rockville and kensington teams. was
highly interesting, and aroused considerable
enthusiasm. 1t was won by Rockville by
the score of II to 8. The game was market
by heavy hitting and rather loose fielding.
1t was the second of series of games ar
ranged to be played by the two teams. and
each now has a game to It's credit, the Ken
sington boys having administered a severe
drubbing to the Rockville aggregation the
first time the teams met.

CHINESE HELP JAPS
FIVE HUNDRED NATIVE HORSE.
MEN FIRED ON RUSSIANS.
Russian Army fingers in the Vicinity of
0unshu Pass-A Fierce Gale HAS
Dried Up the Mud-Fifth Rifle Regi-
ment Escaped Through Jap Lines
and Has Arrived at kirin.

Gunshu Pass. April IS.-The thaw
has b. On followed by y fierce gale,
which has dried out the mire and is
now raising heavy dust. II is a prov
idential change, as otherwise the troops
tenting in the mud probably would
soon be subject to sickness even in epi-
demie form.
1t is steadily becoming more evident
that hrst calculations as to Russian
losses in the battle Of Mukdsn were az.
agRerated.
A portion Of the Fifth Rifle regiment
which was cut on at Mukden has lust
arrived at kirin, having succeeded In
penetrating the Japaness lines.
Chinese state with great positiyeness
that General Rawamura's army, sup
ported General Nogi's army, Is moving
In northeasttrly direction, aiming to
cut Russian communication with
VladivOstOk.
According to some advices so, 600
japanese landed at Dalny March IS
and Il Is reported that six additional
divisions are forming in Japan 70 oper.
ate against VladiyOstok and Sakhalin.
The Manchurian Chinese have adopt
ed an attitude Of positive hostility TO
the Russians. A body Of 500 native
horsemen fired on Russian troops at the
village Of Ghendi. and Manehurian
m illtiA Is said to be taking the field on
the side Of the japanese on the HIM
river. The leader. Fulingo, has been
appointed commander Of the militia at
ka1yuAn, but q force Of the Chinese
regulars Is stationed along the border
OF Mongolia, with the object Of pss-
serving neutrality.
The japanese now occupy the lineIo
Sylzyatjf, Changtufu and KatpanRomu
and the impression prevails here that
the direct advance from the south has
halted for the present az that line.
There were a number OF skirmishes
last week between number Of Russian
and japanese scouting parties, but no
actions OF serious consequence.
The japanese are building depots az
slnmintu and Fakoman and are said 10
Be surveying a road from Fakoman
southwark and bridging the Lao river
to kuapinsan and Szinzyaun, where
their commissaria is also locaed. The
country in which the present operations
are being conducted lies on both sides
OF the railroad towards the Mandariian
road, and Is wide plateau, running
north and south, and in many places
the ground is half swampy.
There are few large villages or
hamlets which have replaced scattered
farmsteads- The villages consist Of
large buildings, surrounded by high
walls and sometimes BY bitches, max
ing excellent points Of defense. The
region Is rich, and the troops found
large stores OF forage and wood.
