czAR HAS OFFICIAL DISPATCH.
Several fast Cruisers Said to Have
Reached viadIvostoi<.

st. Petersburg, May 31.--A long
cipher dispatch reached Emperor
Nicholas during the night, but its con.
tents have not been made public. 1t
Is unotiicially stated that several ot
the fast Russian ships succeeded in
shaking off their pursuers and have
reached Vladiyostok and that the gov.
ernment is now in possession of its
own version of the naval disaster of
Saturday and Sunday in the straits of
Korea. Nevertheless. 1t appears to be
In quandary as to how to break the
news to the country. A war council
was held at Tsarskoe Selo at which
the emperor was urged to issue an
imperial manifesto, but nothing has
yet been decided.
So far as the newspapers are con-
cerned the public might believe Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky had achieved a
victory. The censor passed all the
vague rumors favorable to the Rus.
slams, but blue pencilled everything
indicating a Russian disaster. While
the disastrous news was spread like
wildfire by word of mouth over the
capital and was quickly telegraphed
privately to the big centers by the
anti-government leaders the country
can be said to be still in a state of
ignorance as to what has happened.
The editors Of the Liberal papers here
being conversant with the contents of
the Toxic dispatches, warn their read
ers in a roundabout fashion against
harboring false hopes based upon dis
patches which appear in their news
columns. The Bourse Gazette quite
openly declares 1t would be a sin to
conceal the fact that all hope of Russia
obtaining the mastery of the sea has
vanished.

Whatever other information was

foreign dispatches, from which the
naval officers have been unable to re-
construct a fair idea of the long and
bloody sea fight.

The question is often asked how
one treatment can be goad for every
thing. Is not pure air and pure water
beneficial to the system? If so, will
it not benefit every organ of the sys-
tenn to purify the blood, and elimi-
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the system? Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition of healths If so,
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
tho skin, which is the sewerage of the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
carrying about in their bodies perfect
