STPETKRf BCRO, May 3. General Kuropatkin has gone to the front from LlaoYang to Inspect the situation personally. Troops are being forwarded from the LiaoYang and Mukden line to a position near Fens-WanK-Cherjr. All the Russian wounded have been sent back toward I.lao-Yang In order not to hamper the operations of the Russian army. It appears evident that Central Kuropatkin is preparing to Rive buttle to General Kuroki's army if circumstances warrant. Private reports arc to the effect that the f.ghtin?'.blod of the Russian soldiers is up and that they are thirsting for an opportunity to revenge the slaughter on the Yalu. tut although the commander-in-chief is greatly chagrined at the miscarriage of his plans 'on the Yalu, there is no idea here that he will act rashly on that account. His decision as to the extent of the opposition he will make at Feng-Wang-Cheng depends on the location and success of Japanese landing in Manchuria. Descents or attempted landings are now momentarily anticipated near Nleu-Chwang and the head of Korea bay. Occupying an interior line and pursuing the tactics of Napoleon, Kuropatkin's problem will be to prevent a Juncture of the enemy's forces. It 1s necessary for him to await the development or the Japanese plans and ascertain the direction, strength a n-J whence the other column will com before deciding how to fight his adversary in d tail. It is believed here that the Japanese plans for concerted action have been embarrassed bv their failure to block the entrance to Port Arthur on Tuesday, and a rendition of the attack on the Russian Gibraltar is expected any moment. Vice, Admiral Togo s 11 et was sighted on rori Arthur last night and indeed unconfirmed rumors t?y he attacked at daylight this morning, and that tlghtiug is cow in progress there. At l-ast the tutting off of Port Arthur, if not the fate of the fortress, depends, in the f.pinion of the general staff, on General Kuropatkin's preventing a. Juncture of the Japanese forces. It is understood here that General Zassalitch has already been relieved of his command for disobedience of orders and that his action is under investigation. In connection with the obstinate stand made by the Russians at the Yalu against instructions, and in face of an overwhelming superiority of mn and especially of guns, an interesting bit of the history of what occurred during the maneuvers near St. Petersburg last summer Is being recounted. General Zassalitch commanded an infantry division and insisted in storming heights commanded by artillery and in the face of alire which theoretically wiped out his command. The judges were so disgusted that they rewarded the blunder with a zero mark against the general s name. Under the old rules and traditions of the T.UF-ii.in army the Second and Third bat teries of the Third Artillery Brigade and the Third Pattery of the Third Prigade, which lost th-lr Runs at the battle of Uin-I.fen-Cher.tr. would be stricken from the army list forever. The names of batteries losing suns and those of regiments losing tm-ir colors or otherwise disgracing themselves formerly disappeared from the list. - This was the rase of the celebrated Immor tal Hussars in 1S25. which participated in the conspiracy against Lmperor Nicholas. omy a lew years ago tne regulation was T-rM rit'i . rtxirtr tn o reülitatinn . nf thn ftft H tt ti'.iiI.I wM-tr errnot Infoetlna In the ease of batteries and regiments forced 1 T ÖL Iii Irtff yil DIUIUJ.V. .

The Japanese H fool a .'ort r!wnrm t a rnnrn oo In iVioft ta. ship attack on the night of Tuesday. The ships as they approached were" divided Jnto " three groups, all heading straight for " the entrance of the harbor. While still far from the shore they ran on the Russian "mines and they were under a murderous fl re" from the Russian batteries." Three torpedo-boats followed the fireships to pick up the crews of the latter. "When the first ship foundered the crew clambered up the mast, cheering for the Emperor of Japan - as they went down. From the masthead of the second vessel, as she began to sink, her. crew waved lanterns to indicate her course to those astern. Their small boats, though soon riddled, did not raise the white A Japanese tailor-who came ashore at Electric hill, when summoned to surrender, sprang forward with a revolver In his hand and died fighting. Another Japanese sailor, who was pulled out of the water, tried to throttle, himself with his necktie. One of the Russian rowboata which approached a sinking ship for the purpose of saving her -crew was met by a small-arm fire. The Russian soldiers show every consid eration for the Japanese soldiers and sall"ors captured.

in disgrace. It has been ascertained that twelve fireships participated in the attempt to block the entrance to the harbor. The wrecKs of eight of these hive been definitely lo cated, the positions of two others are not yet known .and the remaining two. unable to withstand the terriflc fire of the Russian guns, turned back. , The a vera pre tonnage of the flreshlps exceeded 2,oro tons.

THREE MURDERERS MEET

HANGING AT PITTSBURG WINCHESTER, Tenn., May 5.-Henry Judge, Jog Delp and John Evans were hanged here to-day for the murder of Simon Bücher and his wife last August. The trap was sprung at 5:43 a. m. The three men exhibited the same indifference and stolidity that marked their conduct during the trials, and walked without assistance on to the scaffold. Each of them made a short speech, in which they expressed their preparedness, and said their only regret was that they 'vere leaving their wives and children. None of them made any reference to the deed for which they paid the penalty. A large crowd was expected and threats had been made to tear down the fence inclosing the scaffold in order that the execution might be made public. Sheriff Stewart was prepared for such an emergency, but set the execution for an early hour in order to prevent trouble. WHITE MAN AND. NEGRO HANGED AT PITTSBURG PITTSBURG, May 5. William L.

The men quarreled over a cirl. Edwards said, when the death war rant was read to him, that be was not guilty, saying he had shot at but did not hit Banks.

MARKING TIME

THE WAR

By Richard. Harding Davis, Collier's Special War Correspondent In Japan. Reproduced in the Journal by Special Arrangement.

Copyright, 1504, by Collier's Weekly. TOKIO. March 23.-Each time the War Office here announces that the advance of the army has been again postponed, those terrible dogs of war. the war correspondents, cry "havoc," and try to slip their chains. And the answer of the Japanese officials to their demand that they Instant ly be shown "battle, murder and sudden death," is to invite them to a garden party. This Is supposed to soothe the correspondents, and to satisfy the proprietors of their papers at home, who are sending them rich drafts and singing sadly, "It's All Going Out, and There's Nothing Coming In." A few nights since the members of Par liament gave a dinner to the military at taches and the war correspondents, at which they asked us to be patient. As a sop, diplomatically administered, . and in tended to reconcile us to being bottled up in Tokio, it did not altogether carry its purpose, but as an effort of hospitality. as a dinner of ceremony and, in so far as it illustrated the courtesy and thoughtfulness of the Japanese, it was a charming success. It also Is Interesting, when one compares it as an entertainment with one that would be given to strangers in Wash ington by our own members of Congress. We went to the dinner in Jinrikishas, each with an accordiou-plaited paper lantern bobbing fantastically in the night like a g!ant firetly, and stopped at a house that glowed among the surrounding trees, not from any windows, as it had no windows, but through Its walls. It glowed most brilliantly through a square low doorway in which stood many little girls In gray kimonos with glistening black hair, worn a la Pompadour, and who bowed and rub bed their knees with their open palms, continually shifting from one stockinged foot to the other, and bowing and bowing again. They tuok away our shoes and gave us big woolen slippers, and then led us down corridors and along outer galleries Into a room which ran the length of the tea house. It was covered with mats. Not with what we call mats, but with what 13 more like a mattress with a piece of fine matting sewn on its top. These mattresses were sunk between broad grooves of beau tifully polished wood, and with the wooden beams formed the floor on which we walked, the floor on which we sat, the floor from which we ate. When strangers to Japan object to removing their shoes, and walk with boots upon a Japanese mattress, they shock their host Just as thoroughly as it would shock an American hostess to see her visitor stamp with his boots upon tne na or her piano or on her damask tablecloth. The room of the tea house was bare, of all furniture, and even of ornaments, save the decorated screens that formed the walls and the decorated beams that supported umnaini IC1MIJ. J. Ii JUUII1 WUS IIS own ornament. The panels on the walls were of native woods of great beauty, and cm some in bas-relief were carved flowers, dragons and landscapes. It was iiKe ieastiriK in an enlarged glove-box. From time to time one of the nesans, as they call the little sirls who serve the dinner, would push back a paper screen with its squares of glistening black lacquer, and we could see outside swinging from the balcony cherry-red lanterns, and beyond them the chill spring moonlight and the black pines of Shiba Park. We sat on flat cushions of crimson silk, each with his back to the wall, in a long row that stretched around the room. When we had last seen our hosts, when the Mikado addressed them in their House of Parliament, they were in our evening dress. Now. they wore their national cos tume; the skirts of cloth, silk, or brocade. tnu, xoiaea over me cnest like an abbreIS A POM MAGAZINE - i May Explode and Play Havoc with Czar's Troops if Japanese Continue to Win. DANGER FOR FOREIGNERS ST. PETERSBURG, May 5. The effect of the disaster to Russian arms on the Yalu upon the Chinese is being watched with keen Interest and considerable apprehension. The Russian government appears to be satisfied with the situation for" the mo ment, and Paul Lessar, the Russian minister at Peking, is making daily reports to the Foreign Office. The report received from the minister to-day contained nothing disquieting. The Teking government, according to Russian reports, seems to be acting in perfect neutrality. It Is turning a deaf ear to the appeals of anti-Russian leaders who want China to throw In her lot with Japan, and is doing all possible to suppress antiforeign agitation among the people. Nevertheless the Russian authorities regard China as a powder magazine. They realize the danger inherent in the situation and the necessity for constant pressure on the Peking government. The danger of an anti-foreign movement throughout the Chinese empire exist3 not only for Russia, but for all the powers, and Russia has at least three times since the outbreak of the war addressed the powers on the subject, the last time being less than ten days ago. The answers received uniformly show a full appreciation of the need of exercising a restraining influence on Peking, and all the powers are co-operating to this end. "CON" MTEY HELD FOR PART IN MURDER NEW YORK, May 5. John Comstock was fatally shot to-day in a saloon In Seventh avenue and William Donlon. twenty-six years old, a bartender, is under arrest charged with the crime. The police claim that when Donlon was arrested he was in the act of putting the revolver in his pocket. The police have also apprehended "Con" McVey, a former prize fighter, and Nona Mack, twenty-two years old, in connection with the case. It is alleged that the shooting followed a quarrel between Comstock and Donlon over the Mack woman. Comstock died at the Roosevelt Hospital to-niKht, after refu;dng to say who did the shooting.

CHINA

IN TOKIO:

DOGS DINE OUT viated bathrobe, the kimono. 'There was no brilliant color in any of the costumes. They all were gray, brown, black. Tne room was heated bv braziers of brass set in wooden boxes and filled w ith hot Jhes over which the Japanese passed their hands continually, as though performing au incantation. . . A Japanese dinner begins at. the end witn the sweets, and then starts over again with soup. A nesan placed in front of each guest a box filled with cakes, candy and sugared fruit. The guest. is not supposed to eat this, but to save .it mntil the dinner is over, when he packs whatever parts of the dinner he has not eaten in the box and carries the box home. After the little girl had explained with much shaking of her head that we must not eat. the sweets, she brought us a tiny lacquer table that stood about six inches from the floor, a blue and white bottle filled with saki (which tastes like warm sherry), a saucer of -ait aud msutard, a saki cup, a bowl in which to rinse the saki cup before we offer it to any one with whom we wish to driuk a toast, and a pair of chopsticks. Soup followed in a lacquered bowl, then hot fish, and, ou a gridiron of glass rods, raw fish. The soup and the hot fish were as deliciously cooked as at the oldest and best of Paris restaurants, but the raw fish was a novelty which even the bravest military attache and the politest correspondent dared not attempt. After that the dishes no longer came la courses, but were placed at the same time in rich profusion upon the tiny tables. Many with which we were familiar were so served that we failed to recognize them, and other dishes we thought were those we knew at home we ate in blissful ignorance that they were not. Some kid-nej-s I especially welcomed. "Ah!" exclaimed one of the polite hosts, "I see you like very much our devil fish." I had seen devil fish in the aquarium at Naples, but I never before had hungered for one. Of course, the chopsticks were baffling, and of how many other breaches of etiquette we were guilty one blushes to guess. The next night I dined after the European fashion,, and when 1 saw now adroitly the Japanese officers at the dinner followed it, I was amazed at our temerity of the night previous. For tha first time I became conscious that the customs of our table are full of pitfalls. As some one has said, the Romans were able to conquer the world because they did not Have to stay at home and learn their own lauguage. But no one of the Japanese members of Parliament made any sigu that we were not eating with perfect propriety, though we must surely have shocked them. Many of the American and English could not understand that the little girls who knelt in front of them were not to be admired and complimented, but were there simply as waitresses. And when the Japanese heard their guests address them as "Maimle and "Maude." they must In their artless Japanese way have congratulated themselves that when they determined to copy us they knew where to stop. Of course, it Is very hard for the visitor to take the little r.esans as seriously as they take themselves. The whole situation is unfamiliar. We do not often sit cross-legged, while quaintly dressed handmaidens kneel and bow before us. To the gallant American the occasion seems to demand that the least he can do is treat the young lady as one of the guests. As a matter of fact, one is supposed to treat .her with every politeness, even if you speak Japanese, to discuss the food with her, and to give her the saki cup that she may drink with you, but it does not follow that you need necessarily address her as "Good morning, Carrie." Our hosts probably knew that we did not offend with knowledge, and the little girls themselves accepted invitations to drink, and did drink, after a most polite ceremonial, and. when our chopsticks refused to work, and we spilled our food, shivered and giggled with delight, and covered their eyes with their hands. After the dinner aud the speeches, they gathered up the sweets and wrapped the boxes we were to carry home in napkins. And then they cleared the floor for the geisha girls. The geisha is but, no. in this peace-ridden city, so far removed from "wars and the rumors of wars." where the coming of the cherry blossoms is the one event of vital interest, the geisha becomes a subject of too serious moment to be wasted in a paragraph. It must be saved for another steamer day. T TO ASSIST THE RUSSIANS Will Rise Against the Japanese in Korea if Given Encouragement. KIL YUNG SU IS PLOTTINGSEOUL, Korea, May 4. Korean officials a,dmit that if the Japanese are not victori ous in their operations on the Yalu river the. Toughaks (bandits) of northern Korea will rise in open rebellion. Their leaders are now, It is said, awaiting any Japanese reverse. It is probable the southern branch of the Toughaks has already risen, as they are now troubling the district officials, annoying the Japanese workmen on the SeoulFusan Railway, and endeavoring to intimidate the Korean coolies to stop work. Only effective military occupation has si lenced the northern agitation, and it probably will be necessary for the Japanese to take stringent measures to quiet southern Korea. It is rumored that Kil Yung Su, a former mayor of Seoul, who was believed to have been the fomenter of the Pedlar riots last March, has a plot, in the event that Russia is victorious, to combine the Tonsrhaks and alleged Cartholic converts and murder several trench priests, hoping thereby to force the stationing of French garrisons in the troubled districts in order to complicate the situation.

MAURUS JQKAI, NOVELIST, IS DfÄDAT BUDAPEST Renowned Hungarian Writer Succumbs to Inflammation of the Lungs.

WEDDED IX OLD AGE BUDAPEST, May 5. Maurus Jokal, the Hungarian novelist, who was recently reported to be seriously 111. died this evening from Inflammation of the lungs. He was seventy-nine years of age. Maurus Jokal, the most pleasing of Hungary's novel writers, was one of the most voluminous writers in Europe. He published not less than ICO books, twenty-five romances of several volumes each, 320 novelettes and six plays. More than SOO.ooo of his books have been sold in Hungary alone to 6,000,000 Magyars, aud many of his stories have been translated into various languages. Jokal was the creator of letters in Hungary. Before he came the literature of the Magyars was extinct. Hungary had no school of writers at all. The following works of Jokal have been published in the English language: "Timar's Two Worlds," "Pretty Michal," "Eyes Like the Sea." "Midst the Wild Carpathians." "In Love with the Czarina." "Black Diamonds." "The Green Book." "The Lion of Janlua," "Dr. Dunnlng's Wife." "A Hungarian Nabob," "The Nameless Castle, "The Toor Plutocrats." "The Tower of Dago,". "Debts of Honor," "The Baron's Sous." "The Dav of Wrath," 'Manasseh, "Halil the Peddler." Jokai was born in Komorn in 1S25. His father was an able advocate, of an ancient family and a rigid Calvinist. and the son waa bred upon puritanical lines. He was left an orphan at twelve, studied law, won a diploma, but never used it, for in 1S46 he was already the editor of the then iamous Wochenblatt. He was married in to Rosa Laborfalvi, the greatest of Hungarian actresses, and to her he many times owed his life during the time of the Insurrections. She followed him for mouths during the campaign of 1S4S. and after the defeat of the patriots she hid him away and supported him until the passing years made it possible for him to appear agalu in Budapest. She was thirteen years his senior, and she died twenty-five years ago. Fifteen years afterward, while he was one of the foremost men in Hungary, Jokai became despondent and attempted to commit suicide by inhaling the fumes of char coal. He finally recovered, and six years later, at the age of seventy-five, he fell in love and married a young Jewess, eighteen years old, an actress of small parts, whom he first met behind the footlights.
