PANTHER ATTACKS BOY ON BOARD SHIP Alan Eater Terribly Lacerates Japanese Circus Performer Before Lad Is Rescued. NEW ORLEANS. March 21.-In the hold of the American steamship Louisiana, coming from Havana to New Orleans, when V) miles off land, K. Sugimonto, jr., a twelve-year-old Japanese circus performer, was attacked by a man-eating panther. The boy was being unmercifully bitten when his screams attracted the attention of hrs father, who quickly rushed to his son's assistance, followed by Captain Hopner and several passengej-s. The panther's claws had torn the boy's clothing and lacerated the flesh. The animal was foaming at the mouth, with the j'outh pinioned against the bars, between which the ferocious beast scratched and bitH his victim. The ship's hold contained several lions and leopards, which also became excited at the sight of blood and the boy's cries for help. As the passengers and the father worked the either animals stuck their claws between the bars and howled with rage. Finally the half-dead performer was released by pinning the panther to the far side of the cage with rods. Every time he was jabbed he held the boy closer, and did not let go until a part of the latter's ribs had been exposed. The rescue was effected after hard work. Two physicians aboard the Louisiana attended the unconscious youth and sewed up his side. ILLINOIS TO ABOLISH . CONVICTS' STRIPES Dark Gray and Brown to Be Used for Penitentiary Costumes. SPRINGFIELD. 111., March 24. The present year will mark the passing of the "stripes" as the official prison garb in the penitentiary of Illinois. Arrangements are now being made by the trustees of the southern Illinois penitentiary at Chester to change the garb of the Inmates of that Institution, and within the next few months the convicts will be clothed in accordance with the modern idea of prison life. It is a fact not generally known that the Inmates of the penitentiary at Joliet have not worn "stripes' for some time, and the "conduct" grading of clothing has been found to yield excellent results in the morals of the ludiana penal institutions. Following the rules that apply to that prlson. the trustees of the southern penitentiary will adopt a uniform for the Inmates, although much of the . repulsiveness that attaches to the gray and black will disappear. - The new uniforms will be of two grades one a dark gray and the other a blown. The color of this clothing will denote the classification of the prisoner, according to his conduct. The "stripes" will be retained, but only for use In extreme cases, where prisoners are guilty of wilful infraction of rules. LIFELESS BODY IN A MISSION CHAIR Edward Lawless Drank Carbolic Acid While Religious Meeting Was in Progress. ST. LOUIS, March 21. For more than an hour the lifeless body of Edward Lawless, of No. 910 Market street, sat in a chair in the Tellgious mission at No. 102 Market street last night, and none of the 10Ö men In the room knew that he had swallowed carbolic acid. He had a Bible in his hand. Lawless, until a few days ago. worked for his aunt, Mrs. Peter Noetzel, at No. D10 Market street, in a restaurant, as a waiter. He resigned his position and told bis aunt that he had obtained a better place. About 6 o'clock last evening he entered the mission and sat down in a chair. Ilia body was almost cold when examined. Mrs. Noetzel says her nephew had been drinking, and she could not attribute his suicide to any other cause. LOVE IV AS CALLED A DISEASE AGES rAG0 LONDON, March 24. Is love a disease? Is a question which some of the London papers' have been threshing out more or less satisfactorily for some time past, and now the Lancet has gTavely contributed to the discussion. This medical weekly declares that the idea of love being really a disease has the sanction of venerable antiquity, and apart from the Greek and Roman classics Is also a commonplace of the seventeenth century writers on medicine. The Lancet goes on to quote a number of authorities from Galen to Horstius, and concludes thus: "The Dutch and Flemish painters, of the later half of the same century found in love-sickness a favorite subject for home of their paintings. Ladies suifering from this disease are accurate portrayals of the anaemic condition." MOVEMENTS OF STEAMERS NEW YORK. March 24. Arrived: P.arbarosa, from Bremen: Majestic, from Liverpool.

Th? establishment of a piovis!onal depot en J.unssway bay as a bae of ui; .'lies for the enormous army which is progressing tovail the Yalu river is a move of the greatest importance anJ shows how ruierior the comir.lariat arrange inents of the Japanese are to those of the Russians. Japs Said to Have Bottled' Port Arthur Squadron

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST FAGE.) not believed Japan would care to violate the agreement made in response to the note of United States Secretary of State Hay, as well as in Japan's other public provisions, there is reason to afllrni that the Russian line of conduct in such a contingency harf already been decided upon in principle. The assurances obtained from Peking require that the Chinese authorities should oppose with their army such a step on the part of Japan. A high Russian olficial said to the Associated I'ress: "It would have worse consequences for the other powers than Russia if Japan should enter neutral territory, for s'".ch a step would obviously be for the purpose of inveigling China into the fight. If Japan should bo successful In this there would be an uprising against foreigners which would bo ten-fold greater than the Roxer affair. The mere possibility is pregnant with all sorts or dangers, but we can hardly believe that Japan will venture to violate the neutrality of. China, as she did that of Korea." It is learned that the Russian military attache at Peking is now at Nieu-Chwang, watching the movements of the Chinese troops. KU RO PAT KIN TO BIDE ' TIME IN MAKING WAR ST. PETERSBURG. March 24. When General Kuropatkin reaches Mukden it is understood the Emperor's forces at the theater of war will be divided into three armies one on the peninsula. Including the Port Arthur garrison under General Stoessel, military commander at Port Arthur, a central army under General Llnevltch, and a northern army under General Baron Stackeiburg. Any idea that General Kuropatkin's arrival will be signalized by aggressive tactics is discouraged in the highest military circles, .where attention is called to the general's repeated injunctions patience, patience, patience. "We can afford to wait whether or not the Japanese can." is the sentiment among the believers in General Kuropatkin. He expects to force the Japanese to fight him on grounds of his own choosing. There will be no forward movement into Korea. On the contrary the Russians at the Yalu are now screening their concentration to the westward and they probably will retire against Japanese advance in force, harassing and retarding them as much as possible until the proper time to uncover the main Russian army. The continued landing of Japanese troops iu Korea is exactly to the liking of the Russian strategists. The bigger the army disembarked there the better they will be satisfied, being convinced that once Korea is ttlled with the Japanese -soldiers by pressure of numbers and clamor of public opinion Japan will be driven forward into the arms of the Russians. Nothing but a complete change of plan in the Japanese campaign as developed up to date will compel the Russians to depart from their determination to play a consistent waiting game, being persuaded that all the advantages of such a policy lie on their side. The Russians also express much more satisfaction at the present situation at Liao-Tung. The forces on the peninsula have been reinforced to an extent which will render a Japanese landing there difficult, if not impossible, and the garrison at Port Arthur has been amply provisioned to withstand a siege. So far as the peninsula is concerned the preparations there may now bo regarded as complete. CHINA MORE NEUTRAL THAN THE RUSSIANS NIEU-CHWANG, March 2I.-Prince Alatsin, sovereign of Mongolia, en route to his capital, arrived at Klnchow yesterday from Peking and also from Japan, where he witnessed the maneuvers and mobolization of the Japanese array. In accordance with the declaration of neutrality. Prince Alatsin has commended the observance of neutrality, through Mongolia, thus rendering illegal the large pony beef and feed traffic upon which the Russians are depending, but which, notwithstanding his Japanese sympathies, he has found it impossible to suppress. The maintenance of neutrality by the Chinese in the region between the great wall and the Liao river, is said to be complete, thus contrasting with the alleged Russian violation of neutrality in the same region by the maintenance of armed patrols and guards half way to Shang-Hai-Gwan. Both foreign and naval vessels are anxiously awaiting the opening of the Liao river, it is their puriose to remove valuable goods and their cargoes before fighting begins. Authoritative reports from Kirln, Kuang-Chang-Tsu, Mukden, Liao-Yang and HsuYen, show that three days ago complete quiet prevailed with a regular movement of troops in the direction of the Yalu river. One regiment passed through Hsu-Yen on Sunday, March 20. CHARGED WITH SELLING SECRETS TO JAPAN ST. PETERSBURG, March 24. Captain Leonteff, of the RL Petersburg artillery, has been arrested ori the charge of selling military secrets to Japan. Captain Irkorff, of the Manchurian commissariat service, who has been arrested and is awaiting trial by court-martial on the charge of having sold information in connection with the quartermaster's department to Lieutenant Colonel Akashi. who was military attache of the Japanese legation here, has petitioned the minister of war, asking for clemency on the ground that the information he sold to the Japanese legation was not important. He received only $200 for the information sold, which consisted of details of the Russian commissariat service during the Boxer war. It was announced from Vienna March 14 that a telegram received from Lemberg said that Captain Leonten, of the Russian general staff, had been recently arrested at Warsaw for having sold to a foreign power a list of the secret agents maintained by the Russian general staff in the frontier districts of Russia's western neighbor. The discovery was made through the delivery of a money order to another person of the same name. IxontefC was reiwrted to have been shot. JAPANESE SQUADRON SUFFERED NO DAMAGE TOKIO, "March 21. Vice Admiral Togo's report of the fifth attack on Port Arthur, which was made on March 22. reached Tokio to-night and is as follows: "The combined fleet acted according to the plan arranged. Two flotillas of destroyers were outside Port Arthur, as instructed, from the night of th3 21st until the morning of the 22d. Although during this time our destroyers were under the tire of the enemy they sustained no damage. The main hYet. arrived oft Port Arthur at 8 o'clock on the morning of the 22d. "I dispatched a part of the fleet in the direction of Pigeon bay and ordered the battleships Fuji and Yashaml to make an indirect bombardment against the Inner a Id a

of the port. During the bombardment the enemy's ships gradually came out of the harbor iind at the time whn the indirect bombardment stopped, which was about 2 o'clock, the number of Russian ships was live battleships, four cruisers and several destroyers. We believed the enemy was trying, by making a movement of their fleet, to draw us near the forts. The enemy's ships shelled us indirectly and many of the shots fell near the battleship Fuji, but our ships sustained no damage. About 3 o'clock our vessels withdrew off the port." CONDITION OF THE PORT ARTHUR FLEET LONDON, March 25 The Daily Telegraph's circumstantial report from its Tokio correspondent, that the Japanese succeeded in bottling up Port Arthur on the night of March 22, is not confirmed from any other quarter. The Standard's. Tien-Tsin correspondent says that Viceroy Alexieff renewed his demand for the withdrawal of all Chinese officials and soldiers from Manchuria on the ground that otherwise it would be impossible to conduct the war properly. The Dally Mall's correspondents give from both sources some details of the condition of Port Arthur which were gathered during a recent visit of a Chinese junk there. It is asserted that a boom had been placed across the entrance to the roadstead "which was alive with mines so defective and so carelessly laid as to equally endanger both Russian and Japanese vessels. The damaged Russian warships, these reports say, were repaired with such haste that it la dangerous for them to leave their anchorage. Eight battleships and cruisers and ten torpedo boat destroyers are now uninjured and often leave the harbor, but never go far from the forts. Japanese naval officers praise the quality of the Russian torpedo boat destroyers w:hich they confess have done excellent work, but they declare that the Russian shells are badly fused and fail to explode except when they strike direct upon armor and that their charges of guncotton are insutlicient to cause serious damage. The Daily Mail's Shan-Hai-Kwan correspondent says the Japanese are secretly engaging Chinese to act as Irregular corps. The Tokio correspondent of the Times commenting on the white book recently issued, says that the signal concession in Japan's last note during the negotiations with Russia offering to recognize Manchuria as outside Japan's political sphere, instead of placating the Russians seemer to lead them tö imagine that Japan would sacrifice anything rather than light. The entire correspendence, according to the representative of the Times, shows that Russia was inventing frivolous pretexts for delay and that the government at St. Petersburg subordinated itself to Viceroy Alexieff throughout the negotiations. GERMAN STEAMSHIPS ARE SOLD TO RUSSIA HAMBURG, March 24. A private dispatch received here says the Hamburg-American Steamship Company has sold the steamer Fuerst Bismarck to Russia, and the negotiations for the sale of the Kaiser Friederick, previously exchanged, are now completed. The Boersenhalle denies all reports of the sale of the German liners to Russia. It says that different sales are reported daily and all such stories are equally groundless. Among the vessels mentioned by the Boersenhalle are the Fuerst Bismarck, the Columbia the Lahn, the Treve and the Kaiser Fredtrich. BERLIN, March 25. In spite of the denial, ot the Hamburg Boersenhalle of all reports of the sale of German liners to Russia, the Hamburg correspondent of the Tageblatt insists that the Fuerst Bismarck and the Kaiser Frederich have actually been sold to that government and that the crews have already been engaged. PARIS, March 25. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Paris says It is affirmed that the Russian Admiralty has bought the North German Llovd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. GRAND DUKE SERGIUS TO COMMAND ARTILLERY ST. PETERSBURG, March 24.-The promotion of Grand Duke Sergius Mikhalovich to the rank of major general has Involved, an important change in the supreme command of the Russian artillery which has been for many years in command of his father, the last surviving son of Nicholas I, who is now a confirmed invalid at the Riviera. Grand Duke Sergius Is regarded as being the foremost machine gun specialist in the Russian army. His palace is filled with Maxim, Colt, Nordensfeldt and other quick-tiring guns. Grand Duke Sergius will have control of the artillery being sent to the far East. The Associated Press is authorized to deny the report, circulated in Berlin and published in the United States by a news agency, that the Russian armored cruiser Bayan was blown up by a floating torpedo in the? harbor of Port Arthur March 16, at the time a Russian torpedo boat was said to have been' sunk owing to colliding with a mine. MAJOR GENERAL PFLUG DENIES J VA R R UMORS ST. PETERSBURG, March 24.-Major General Pflug telegraphs from Mukden under to-day'? date as follows: "There is absolutely no truth in the report published in England to the clfect that the Japanese have crossed the Ta-Tung pass, or that they had engagements with the Russians, while the statement that the way to Motlenling pass, where a strong Russian detachment is alleged to be stationed, is open to the Japanese is al?o pure Invention. To the same category belong the reports published In London newspapers from Japanese sources of an engagement alleged to have taken place at Port Arthur March 13 (March IS?) and of the encounter at Chyong-Syong (on the Yalu river), In which the Russians were reported to have lost 000 men killed or wounded." CZARINA PRAISED BY THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE ST. PETERSBURG, March 24. The devotion of the young Empress to the work of the Red Cross Society has aroused the enthusiastic admiration of the Russian people. She has thrown herself heart and soul Into this duty, even personally assisting in the preparation of baudages and other supplies for the sick and wounded. As an evidence of the Interest and activity of the Empress, she started work at 8 o'clock this mnrulnflr and did not stoiV until 3 nVlnrlr I not even taking time for lunch. Her little daughters strive to emulate tne example

of their mother, and assist In collecting and packing the materials. RELIGION OF EUROPE REJECTED BY JAPAN

SEATTLE. March 21. A party of wealthy Japanese has arrived to visit the principal centers öf the United States, especially rolling mills and factories of all kinds, looking to the consideration of .the poor, examine the practical working of the laws and ascertain if possible whether religion enters to any appreciable extent Into the actual daily life of the people. One of the party, a graduate of Tokio University, said that after most careful examination, absolutely unprejudiced and free from preconceived opinions, the Japanese had unanimously and unhesitatingly rejected the religion of the Europeans as something they did not want and did not need. China Advised tu De Neutral. PEKING, March 24. The Russian and Japanese notifications regarding contraband of war differing somewhat, the Chinese government has applied to Sir Robert Hart, inspector general of customs in China, for advice in the matter. Sir Robert has advised it to prohibit the giving of any assistance to Japan according to the Russian notification, or to Russia, according to the Japanese notification. Peking is placarded with notices prohibiting the natives from assisting either of the belligerents. The report that the Russian military at tache here has applied for a passport and permission to visit Chang-Wan-Tsu, where General Ma's troops are stationed, and also for a Fpeclal letter of introduction to the general is confirmed. . nacnpeil the Japanese ly a. Rase. ODESSA, March 24. The volunteer fleet steamer Vereney, the first Russian ship to leave the far East after the outbreak of the war, has arrived here, having eluded the Japanese by a clever ruse. She was painted to represent a Japanese collier which left Vladivostok just before her. The captain of the Vereney had resolved to take to the boats and blow up his ship if hard pressed by the Japanese. Skirmishing;, but Few Casualties. "WASHINGTON, March 24. The following cablegram has been received at the State Department from United States Minister Allen at Seoul, dated to-day: "Announcement has been made in Seoul that Yongampo will be opened and it is stated that 1,00) Russian troops have advanced to the Anju river, but that the floating ice makes crossing extremely difficult. There has been some slight skirmishing, but few casualti.es bo far." Hussion Ships to Stay at Plrueus. ST. PETERSBURG. March 24. Orders have been cabled to Admiral Wirenus to keep his squadron at Piraeus, Greece, until further instructions. As the squadron coals from its own colliers, it is not expected that Greece will order it away, even should Japan make representations to that government, but that it will observe the same friendly neutrality which France displayed when the squadron stayed at Djibouti, the French port on the Gulf of Aden. Urnnd Duke Cyril Promoted. ST. PETERSBURG. March 24.-Grand Duke Cyril, cousin of the Czar, who was on board the Askold when that cruiser steamed out of Port Arthur at the head of the fleet during the last bombardment, has been appointed an aid to Vice Admiral Makaroff.

Japanese Army and Navy Officers and Names of Warships At the suggestion of one of the editors of the Indianapolis Journal the Associated Press has compiled a list of names that may appear frequently in reports of the RussoJapanese war. There are at least two ways of spelling nearly every Chinese and Japanese name, and the use of both the old and new forms has often caused confusion in the dispatches, the change of a single letter sometimes creating doubt as to which person or place wras meant. The newspaper cable editors of the Associated Press, therefore, after consulting the best Japanese. Russian and Chinese authorities, have prepared a list of names which is as nearly correct as is possible to make It. The form of spelling adopted by the cable editors will be used in all war dispatches, thus insuring uniformity throughout the country. A partial list of Japanese names follows:

Xcw York Benefactor Refuses to Prosecute Man Who Betrayed Confidence. FOR SAKE OF FAMILY NEW YORK. March 24.-Confessing that he had stolen over $lj.Of from his employer. Benjamin Danks, a bookkeeper. as yesterday discharged from custody through the intervention of the man he had robbed. Louis Krause, a dealer in silks and laces at 5i-J Broadway, for whom Danks has worked for many years, asked Magistrate Whitman in the Tombs Police Court to discharge the prisoner. "My dear , fir." exclaimed Magistrate Whitman, "that Is the most remarkable request I ever heard. This man deserves ten years in prison. I cannot discharge him unless you absolutely refuse to appear as a complainant." "Then I refuse tp press the complaint. Please discharge him." replied Krause. Danks, according to his own confession and the statement cf his employer, owes everything to Krause. "I took this man into my employ when he was a mere boy," said Krause to Magistrate Whitman yesterday. "I gave him a good salary and eventually made him my bookkeeper.
