MILES PREDICTS A LONG, DISASTROUS WAR Also Criticises American Cavalry and Booms the Automobile Business. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 17. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who Is here attending the Good .;Koads convention, to-day expressed the belief that the Russo-Japanese war will eventually involve other nations. - "I be- - lieve that the war will be a long and disastrous one," said General Miles. Incidentally he - criticised the American cavalry by remarking that "50 per cent, of our soldler are mounted, while in other countries the percentage is only 7 to 10 per . cent. We should have more infantry and less cavalry." "In the next greit war." said General Miles. "I believe the automobile will to a large extent supplant horses. There are now luO.OrtO automobiles 'in the United States, and the number is increasing rapidly. Their speed is becoming phenomenal. Automobiles can be used on bad roads as well as good ones, as is now evidenced everywhere." WAR IS ENRICHING MISS KRUPyP, OF ESSEN ' . BERLIN. May 17.

JAPANESE HOLD MOST ' OF LIAO-TUNG PEHIHSULA Port Arthur, on the Extreme Southern Point, Alone in Possession of Russians. v

PORT DALXY IN RUINS ST. PETERSBURG.. May 13. 2 a. m. Advices received by the general staff show that the Japanese are practically masters of all of the southern end of Llao-Tung peninsula, save Port Arthur and the territory commanded by it3 guns. The result, so promptly brought about, is due to the failure of the Russians to make opposition of any consequence to the Japanese advance., A member of the general staff said to the Associated Press that the removal of the guns from the , fortifications -erected at Kln-Chau and the destruction cf ' Port Dalny -were ' primarily' for the purpose of concentrating the entire Russian-force at Port Arthur. If the men. and guns were scattered the effect would have been to distribute the means of the defense of the fortress over a number of points strategically weak. The destruction of Dalny was the result of 110 sudden determination, but was due to the probability that a force attempting to hold this place could be separated from Port Arthur and captured, thus Inflicting further loss of prestige to the Russians which could not be permitted at this time. To defend the whole or the southern end of the Llao-Tung peninsula it would have been necessary to have an army equal to thai which the Japanese could have lapded. I .The weakness of the Manchurian array, paid this officer, left only one course to pursue, namely, that of mobilizing. Sufficient troops at' Port Arthur to hold it until r lief tame, abandoning every point ou.tsidi which did not contribute to the strategic defense of the fortress. It has been learned that the ground over which the Japanese must charge to capture the fortress is heavily mined. If they do capture it, the officer said, they will pay a frightful price. The destruction of Dalny is complete, th breakwater and the buildings as well as the piers and docks have been blown up. FIGHTING LINE STEADILY NEARING MUKDEN MUKDEN, Monday, May 17. The fighting line is steadily nearing Mukden, where Viceroy Alexieff's headquarters still remain. Little reliable Information can be obtained by the newspaper correspondents, who are forbidden to proceed to the scene of operations, and official information is withheld until advices are sent to St. Petersburg. It is now known, however, that the Japanese are almost within striking distance of the Russians and that the forces protecting Liao-Yang are stretching eastward, from tho railroad along the Mao-Tien mountain range. The Japanese are advancing in three columns and are now north of Siu-Yen and Feng-Waug-Cheng. Two columns are reported to be working further to the northward, with the object of turning the Russian position and advancing upon- Mukden.- Numerous small engagements have been fought, but no., decisive action has taken place. Port Arthur is 'now completely isolated by the Japanese expedition at Polandien. The. Japanese are now operating in a rugged " country, well suited to the Russian defense, but north of Liao-Yang to Mukden the country is a flat plain, intersected by rivers. The weather recently has been hot and dry, but the rain which has fallen in the past two days has made" the roads almost impassible for vehicles, and when the rainy season begins at the end of June this plain will be converted into a morass. This condition probably will result in the practical suspension of operations. Mukden is now tho receiving center for the wounded from the various engagements south of the Mao-Tien mountains. A hospital has been established in the Lamen temple in the outskirts of the town, aud a tield hospital has been located In a woods near the military camp around the station. A significant, feature is the demeanor of the Chinese population, which may be said to be a barometer of the military weather. A close observer of the expressions and general attitude of the Chinese can tell how the fighting a hundred miles away is turning. They have rapid and mysterious channels of information through which tho result of the battle at Feng-Wang-Cheng spread and could be suspected from the outward manner of the Chinese before the Russians made it known here.' The cutting off of Port Arthur is another instance. The newspaper correspondents aro most courteously treated by Colonel Foestlch, the officer whom Viceroy Alexleff appointed to attend them, but they are chafing under the restrictions imposed here, which prevent them from seeing anything of the fighting. General Kuropatkin is evidently unwilling that the foreign correspondents shall witness the present phase of operations, though he may accept them in the indefinite future, when the Russians are uble to make a sweeping advance. RUSSIANS FINALLY EVACUATE NIEU-CHWANG NIEU-CIIWANG, May 17. In confirmation of recent Associated Press dispatches, the Russian evacuation of this city has been completed. The Russian troops marched out in perfect order. General Kondratsvich leaving with the last regiment. The Associated Press correspondent has received exclusive information from the highest Russian authorites that the Japanese advance will be resisted at IlaiCheng, whence the Russian forces will fall back upon Liao-Yang, where they- will make a determined stand, with a fighting strength there available of 70.000 men. If defeated, no stop will be made at Mukden, but the retirement will be continued to Thioling, a town at the head of navigation for native craft onthe Llao river, 200 miles north of NIeu-Chwang. At the same time the Cossack regiments will be employed in the rear of the. Japanese army of the Yalu,. harassing the troops and interfering with its communications. It is not believed .the Japa-, nese win move" into the interior" untir they have thoroughly, established their base, hero repeating their movement at Chin-Wal. . The Russians admit the advance of the Japanese army to the point within -fifteen miles of Hal-Cheng, many of their wounded entering there. The nearest fighting expected before tho Japanese reach NIeuChwang will be at Tashilehuo, but it will not amount to much This city is now guarded by 300 Chinese police and everything is quiet. The Japanese .'orce at KaiChau Is reported 30.0U0 strong. OFFICIAL REPORTS FROM RUSSIAN OFFICERS ' ST. PETERSBURG, .May 17.-Gehera4 Kuropatkin telegraphs to the Emperor ündor date of May, 16 as follows:-" "On 'May 10 our Cossacks encountered a force of the enemy composed of one battalion of Infantry ajpd two squadrons of cavalry belonging apparently to the Japanese guards division near Kuan-Dian-Sian, and the fusslllade lasted for an hour and a half.

Colonel Marchahd's career in the French army closed at noon today, when his period of arrest for publicly criticising his superiors expired, and the official acceptance of his resignation was handed to him. In an interview he said ho would give out a statement "answering the falsehootls( of the military authorities." The colcnel maintains it was Emperor Nicholas who desired him to accompany the Russian forces in hc far East, and says he willingly gives up the "gold lace of dress parades" and is ready to surrender his decorations if desired. However, if war breaks out, France can count on his devotion and life. In the meantime Marchand intends to take up an active career. He, .does. not specify his future plans, but his use of the words "active career" appears tp indicate his Intention of entering politics or offering his services to Russia.

When your throat is sore; when you have sharp, shooting pains in the chest; when your stomach is out of order, and the doctor calls it catarrh or Indigestion EffiMlON or any of the other common names, the afflicted parts are in the same sore, cracked and sick condition that your rough and wind-cracked hands often are in. Much depends upon the -condition of your skin. When it is soft and firm there Is no pain. When it is rcugh and chapped every move of the affected parts causes suffering. The skin, or mucous lining of the internal parts, performs important functions. When it gets into the rough aid sore condition these functions are improperly and painfully performed. If it Is the stomach, the proper secretions are not produced, the food is poorly digested, constipation results and from this may develop any of the inaumerable afflictions which beset the human body. v It all starts from the unnatural condition of the lining of the affected parts. It Is useless to treat indigestion or constipation, treat the mucous lining of the stomach. Restore it to its natural aud healthful condition and all the other ills will soon disappear.
