SHE WAS POISONED
Report Of the Chemists in the Case Of
Mrs. Leland Stanford Made Public
due to strychnine Poisoning.

noPoTI OF Ino NneWlSIo III SuV SooS "
Mrs. Leland Stanford Made Public
duo to strychnine Poisoning.
San Francisco, March 6.-The local
authorities have now positive assur-
ance in information by cable from
Honolulu that Mrs. Stanfords death
was directly due to strychnine poison
ing.
The cable contained, it is said, a
synopsis of the report OF the chemists
who have been engaged for three days
in analyzing the stomach and other
organs of the deceased. The stomach,
kidneys and aeart were found, 1t Is
said, to be in very healthy condition.
There was, however, a swelling of the
heart that the report says would only
be produced in death resulting from
strychnine poison. No trace Of strych-
nine was found in the stomach, yet all
agree there is no longer any doubt Of
the cause Of the death of Mrs. Stanford
and that the autopsy has failed to re-
veal indications that would suggest
any other cause for death than strych-,
nine poisoning. The experts findings.
according to the report, are also to the
effect that analysis of the contents Of
the bottle Of bicarbonate OF soda from
which Mrs. Stanford took a potion,
show that strychnine was mixed all
thru its contents.

FIERCE BATTLE SUNDAY.
Russians possedly Resisting the Fiers.
Attacks Of the Japs.

/
Mpkden, March 5--[Sunday s. EVENING"
ALI day long the battle has ragged
| ceaselessly. The Japs have been con-
Icentrating their energies on Machiapu,
for possession of which they have been
struggling for two days, but with all
their gallasntrE the Japs were unable
to dislodge the Russians Japanese
shrapnel has been bursting within a
mile and a half Of the Hun railway
bridge, which evidently is the japanese
objective. Capture of the position
would render. occupation Of the Hun
river position south OF Mukden unten-
tative. From the Hun bridge long
line Of battle stretches in both direc-i
tions, as far as the eye can see.
Northwest toward Tatchekiao and east
ward along Shakhe river, it is marked
by a line of bursting shells. The Rus
sian losses are not excessive, consid-
ering the severity Of the five days
fighting. The Japs as attackers have
suffered heavier than the Russians. A
decision in the battle should be reach
ed Monday or Tuesday. At 4:so this
afternoon the guns began to roar west
and northwest of the Mukden railroad
station, where Kuropatkin is launch
ing an attack against the Japs extreme
left. During last night the Japs re-
peatedly assaulted Pienchiapud,su,
Kaotou pass, Kanpayen and farther,
east, but I'LL their efforts were una
vailing. Bombardment Of Endagou
Novgorod and Poutiloff hills continues
unsuccessfully. There is a renewed
rumor that Japanese cavalry has been
sighted north of FMshan and moving
west. Turning of the Russian right to
complete right angle, hinging on
Sinchinpu, has furnished the most re-
markable strategic situation of the
whole war. All day Saturday the Jap
anese batteries were breaking shrapnel
over the swamp land, running south
west from the imperial tombs, in full
view of the populace.

but heavy fighting is continuing there.
