STAKELBERG CUT OFF BY THE JAPS

Kuroki’s Men Said to Have Got Between Two Forces of the Russians. GREAT BATTLE BEING FOUGHT Russian Reports Say the Japanese Have Been Repulsed. Fight Is Probably a Decisive One for Which Kuroki Has Been Preparing— Kussiu Mourn* General Keller’s Death. Liao Yang, Aug. 3.—After a fierce battle tbe eastern Russian force has evacuated Yangtzuling, six miles west of Motieu pass. Rt. Petersburg, Aug. 3. —General Kuropatkin reports that tbe Japanese have occupied Ikhavuen, east of Liao Yang, and the Yangse pass, thirty miles east of Liao Yang. Frankfort, Germany, Aug. I.—The Tokio correspondent of The Zeitung says that the Vladivostok squadron has returned to Vladivostok. Tokio, Aug. 3.—General Kuroki has administered a severe defeat to the Russian forces which defended tbe Russian east flank at Liao-Yang, winning separate actions at Yushulikzu and Yang-Re pass. These two places are twenty-six miles apart, but tbe two actions were fought at the same time. The Russians held strong positions. The thermometer registered over 110 decrees Fahrenheit, and the soldiers suffered cruelly from heat exhaustion. At Yushulikzu the Russians had two divisions of infantry and some artillery, and they resisted the Japanese assaults vigorously. Fight llegan at Dawn Sunday. Both attacks were begun at dawn on Sunday, July 31. At Yushulikzu tbe Japanese carried the Russian right and left wings; but .on account of tbe strength of the main Russian position they were unable to press the attack. The two armies rested Sunday night, facing eaeii other. At dawn on Monday the Japanese resumed the attack, ancl by noon they had dislodged the enemy and driven him four miles, to iAolioling. At Yang-se pass also the Japanese were successful. Their artillery opened cm the enemy and the infantry moved forward from Mnkumezu. Capture of Y»ug-Se Pom. Tile attack on this place was made at 1 o'clock on Sunday, and by nightfall the Japanese were* in possession of n majority of the Russian positions, although the* enemy had resisted with determination. The Japanese forces passed the night in .battle formation, and another assault was made on Monday at dawn. Ity 8 o’clock Monday morning Yang-Re pass and the surrounding heights had been captured.

Too Hot to Fight Rapidly. General Kuroki explains the slowness of these actions by saying that the difficult topography of the battlefields made it impossible to secure good artillery positions, and that the great heat fatigued Ids troops. The Russian force at Yang-Se pass was estimated at two and one-lialf divisions and four batteries of artillery. The enemy retreated toward Tungboyen. General Kuroki reports the capture of some field guns, hut the number is not given. The Japanese casualties are being investigated. Russian* Lose a HlKh Officer. St. Petersburg, Aug. 2.—This city was shocked by a report that Lieutenant General Count Keller had beeu killed. The report lias been confirmed. He Was killed July 29- while resisting the preliminary attack of General Kuroki’s army oh tlie Yanze pass, thirty miles east of Liao-Yang. The general was standing near a, battery which was subjected to a terrific tire, when a shell hurst close to him and iie fell, mortally wounded, dying twenty minutes later. lie was the first high Russian military commander to lose his life in lids war.

DESPERATE WORK : JAPS REPULSED Chinese Story Telit of a Three Uajri' Assault on Port Arthur. Cliefoo, Aug. 3, 11 a. in.—A desperate three days’ assault on the inner defenses on the northern and eastern sides of Port Arthur has failed, according to advices brought by two junks, which arrived here today. A Chinese who has arrived here on a separate junk confirms a Russian’s statement that the Russian killed and wounded during the assault numbered between .".000 and 0,000. The Japanese In thfir i *ated assaults against the eastern for.* on the hills, through barbed Vre entanglements and over mines, di>;»layed fanatical bravery. They were mowed down by the hail of Shells anti bullets and the explosion of mines under their feet.: Their losses are estimated at 50,000. The Russian declares that the Russians held all the eastern forts leading to Golden hill, and that the Japanese, shattered and exhausted, retired to the eastward. The fight began before daybreak July 26, and Admiifel Togo took a hand and shelled the forts at long

range, but the return fire of the forte kept his ships at a safe distance, rendering the co-operation of the fleet Ineffective. On the morning of July 27 the Russian fleet steamed out, keeping nnder the protection of the Golden hill guns. The Russian vessels did not Are on tbe Japanese and soon returned to their anchorage. Tbe assault on the northern side of the city occurred July 27. COMPLETE AND OMINOUS SILENCE St. Petersburg Hears Nothing of What Is Going on nt the Front. St. Petersburg, Aug. 4, 3:18 a. m.— There lias been complete and ominous silence regarding events at the front since the receipt of General Kuropatkin's brief dispatch of Aug. 2. There are neither oflßcial nor press dispatches to Indicate the progress of fighting around Liao-Yang, where it is felt that a most serious situation must exist. There Is the gravest anxiety- here to learn whether General Kuropatkin is seriously giving battle or is determinedly screening the withdrawal of his main force. Whether a general engagement is already progressing around Liao-Yang between the forces of General Kuropatkin and the three Japanese armies which have been moved against them from the south and east the decisive battle of the campaign is regarded as certain If the Japanese energetically follow up their preliminary successes of the last thtee days. At various points the fighting has been of a desperate and bloody character, the Russians offering the most stubborn resistance. The losses, therefore, although their extent is not yet established, must be heavy on both sides. Between 6,000 and 8,000 men Is one estimate given of the Itussian losses. Emperor Hears Alarming News. St. Petersburg, Aug. 4. —The correspondent of The Associated Press hears that Emperor Nicholas has just received a telegram at Peterhof containing alarming news It is also reported that Viceroy Alexieff,, who had gone to Harbin, on his way to Vladivostok, returned to Liao Yang and conferred with General Kuropatkin regarding the situation Japanese Cruiser Reported Sunk. Rome, Aug. 4. The Giornale D’ltalia publishes an extra edition with a dispatch from Tokio anouncing that the Japanese armored cruiser Kasuga, formerly the Argentine warship Rlvadavla, had been sunk.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Orange Peel Preserves. Preserved orange peel is good to eat. First cleanse thoroughly with warm water and a brush the outside of the peel. Scrape from peel the Inner w'hlte. Place in kettle the yellow peel, and with it place one tablespoon salt and enough water to cover. Boil ten minutes and pour off; put over fresh water, boil up and turn off again. Continue changing the water until the peel has boiled tender. To drain off and put over fresh water three or four times Is usually sufficient. Remove tender peel and chop very fine. With one cup of sugar and one-half cup of water to each cup of orange peel boil the chopped peel, stirring constantly until mixture has boiled nearly dry, then put on plates and set in warming oven to dry out. It need not be perfectly dry when placed In jars. The preserve* give a fine flavor to puddings, cakes, cereals and mince meats.

Care of the Feet. If any one thinks he has “flat foot” or broken arch he can be sure by putting the foot into water, getting the whole bottom wet; then put the foot on the floor while wet and stand up. If the arch is broken the print of the whole foot will be on the floor. If the arch Is all right there will be a dry space on the inside of the foot, between the fall of the foot and heel. If the arch Is broken, some cases are entirely cured by wearing a thick piece of felt (such as harness makers use In collars, I think) cut to fit In under the arch. It Is not as painful as the “arches” sold of steel and is sometimes better. It can be made as thick or thin as needed. For a soft corn between the toes put in a pinch of baking soda and a few' drops of vinegar every night till the corn is gone. A Handy Measure. The housewife is often annoyed, while engaged In her kitchen work, by discovering that her pint or gill measure is missing or mislaid or that the measuring cups bought from the grocers are not correct. A young inventor has designed an affair that necessitates the housewife

THE MULTIPLE CUP.

having but one measure, and that so constructed that a glance tells just the amount of liquid it contains. This multiple cup has within its walls a spiral rod, to the top of which are affixed a disk and a movable hand or indicator. As the liquid rises In the cup a rotary motion Is imparted to the rod, and as it revolves the hand indicates on the disk the amount of the contents, just as the hand on a cyclometer indicates the number of yards a bicycle or motor carriage has traveled. Onions For Dtphtberla. In cases of diphtheria onions in the form of a poultice and a sirup are said to have an almost magical effect The poultice in this case is made of the raw onion pounded to a pulp and bandaged around the throat well up to the ears, changing as often as the mass becomes dry. A poultice of the same on the sole of each foot reduces tße fever. The mucilaginous properties of onion juice make It specially soothing to the inflamed mucous membrane and therefore acceptable In case of whooping cough, croup or diphtheria. An excellent way to make the simp is to cut the onion into slices, sprinkle plentifully with sugar and press between hot plates and a heavy weight until all the Juice Is extracted. Table Decoration. Much prettier and more sensible than the old fashioned enormous center dec-

oration for the table Is the new fashion of placing vases as well as candles at the four corners. The middle of the table is occupied by a low dish of flowers, some of the blossoms being merely laid on the cloth. The corner decorations should not be large enough to be In the way. Bronsinfi Liquid. The article to be bronzed must be well cleaned, then gently warmed and brushed over with the following preparation, using a small quantity at a time: One dram of sal ammoniac, 15 grains of oxalic acid and one pint of vinegar, all well mixed together. Rub dry, then repeat the application till required tint is obtained. Fried Turnip*. Fried turnips should be boiled until almost soft enough to eat, then sliced and set away to cool. In the meantime an egg or two should be beaten up with sufficient cracker crumbs to form a batter, the turnips to be dipped in this and fried In deep fat in which a few bits of onion have been browned. Cure of Hot Water Utensils. Hot water cans and Jugs will last much longer If instead of being hung In the usual way they are turned upside down directly they are emptied. It Is the few drops of water in the bottom which cause them to rust Into holes.

Qualified Thanks.

Five years ago Mr. Amberzine Flaxman, a suburban grocer, gave a piece of money to a haggard faced, hollow eyed mendicant who bad asked him for charity. One day last week a robust, welt dressed man called to see him at his place of business. “Is this Mr. Flaxman?” he asked. ‘‘Yes, sir,” said the grocer. ‘‘Do you remember giving a half dollar years ago to a measly looking tramp?” “Now that you mention it, I think I do.” “Well, Mr. Flaxman,” said the other, “that was the turning point in my life.” “I am glad to hear it.” “Yes, sir. It made me a different man. That half dollar was a base counterfeit. When I tried to pass it, I was pinched and sent to Jail. For six weeks I didn’t get a drop of whisky, and when I left the Jail my appetite for it was gone. I went to work, saved my money, and now I am making a good living and am several thousand dollars ahead. I came to thank you for that counterfeit coin, and to tell you I think you’re the meanest man in seven states. Good day.”—Chicago Tribune.
