RUSSIANS MARCH TO THEIR DEATH Continued From First Page. from Liao Yang, Gen. Kuroki's army has begun an attack on the Russian position on the Liao Yang road and that it is be lieved what will prove to be a decisive battle is progressing. DALNY IS ATTACKED. LONDON, May 27.—The Tokyo correspondent of the Daily Express says it is reported unofficially that the Japanese have captured Kin-chow and are now attacking Dalriy. REPORTED BY KUROPATKIN. " ST. PETERSBURG, May 26.—The general staff has re ceived a telegram, dated May 23, from Gen. Kuropatkin, in which he says: "According to Chinese reports a battle took place at Kin chow on May 18, in which the Japanese lost 700 men. The Russian losses were not so great. "A Japanese landing at Takushan began five days ago and it is reported that 50,000 troops, principally infantry, were landed, but this has not yet been verified. The troops landed are marching from Takushan northwest towards Siu Yen and southwest towards Port Arthur." NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY. ST. PETERSBURG, May 26. —The general staff is not in a position tonight to confirm or deny the Tokyo report that the Japanese have occupied Kin-chow. The latest official infor mation regards fighting in that region -was conveyed in Gen. Kuropatkin's telegram, which said that the Japanese had lost 700 men on May 18. It would be a great surprise to the authorities if the re port of the capture of Kin-chow should prove to be true. The impression heretofore entertained is that Kin-chow would prove a hard nut for^the Japanese to crack and that its re duction would need a siege train and call for* careful ap proaches which would occupy the enemy for a long time. COSSACKS DRIVEN BACK. FUSAN, May 26.—Cossacks are patrolling continually ten and fifteen miles to the west, northwest and Southwest of Feng Wang Cheng and they have several times met the Japa nese in conflict.

On that day, according to the Japanese reports, 1,000 Russian cavalry, who were found near Patoasti, seventeen miles northeast of Feng Wang Cheng and back of the Ai river, wers expelled from their position by one squadron of Japanese cavalry and one company of infantry. The Japanese suffered rto casual ties. According to late reports the Russians lost three killed and eighteen wounded. TRANSPORTING SIEGE GUNS. LONDON, May 27. —The Tokyo correspondent of the Chronicle, under date of May 26, sends the following: "The Japanese have already constructed thirty miles of light railway for the transportation of siege guns toward Port Arthur. Around Kin-chow the Japanese have been; fighting stubbornly for the last eight days, but are making little progress against the Russians, who occupy strong positions on the heights." WILL SEARCH FOR THE "LOST ISLAND" Mysterious Land That Lies Somewhere Between Hono lulu and San Francisco. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 26.—The navy department has at last begun a systematic search for "the lost island of the Pacific." Somewhere between Honolulu and San Francisco, consid erably south of the beaten track of vessels going to and from the Hawaiian islands, is a mysterious bit of land which superstitious sailors believe is bewitched. At long and irregular intervals it rises and lies with its head slightly out of the water or just below the sur face, where it threatens every passing vessel. Most of the time it sinks to unfathomable depths, where it rests until some convulsion of the earth sends it again to the surface, to either sink gradually out of sight or go down with a rush. Whether the disappearing isle is a part of the ocean's bed that is thrown up now and then by a volcano, or whether its puzzling actions are due to some other cause is a problem that is too deep for the naval experts. The island follows no schedule in its gyrations, and nothing definite is known about it beyond the fact that it is always reported at the same spot, which has been exactly located. It formerly was charted as an island, but on account of the conflicting re ports which have been received about it now is on the naval charts as a "doubtful danger." The navy department officials think there is an island or reef of some sort there, and it is believed that the American sloop of war Levan, which disappeared in the middle of the Pa cific in 1859, struck on it and went down. This theory is adhered to in spite of the fact that the Albatross, which was sent out several years ago to try to locate the island, reported that there was a great depth of water all around the place where the bit of land was supposed to be. It was to remove, if possible, all the doubt and mystery which has aroused the superstitions of sailors of all na tions that an official investigation was decided on. The cruiser Tacoma sailed from Honolulu yesterday with orders to visit the "Jost island" and ascertain whether it is real or imaginary. She will take soundings for miles in all direction and will cruise around for a reasonable time to give the island a chance to show itself, if it is not in sight when she arrives. Commander Nicholson, who formerly was in the bureau of navigation and is familiar with all of the reports and traditions concerning the mysterious isle, is in command of the Tacoma.

NEW YORK, May 26. — Nero is a large Newfoundland dog owned by John Newcomb, of Dover, N. J. Mr. Newcomb owns a shop, and when he has much work en hand sends Nero to the house to carry back his lunch. Nero went on the errand yester day, and Mrs. Newcomb prepared the dinner in sections. One section she put in one lunch pail and the coffee she put in a glass bottle inside an other pail. Nero started for the shop at a trot, but suddenly he seemed to remember that he could shorten the trip by going over the footbridge of the canal. The bridge is a narrow plank, and in crossing Nero had to be so watch ful of his steps that he forgot to keep his jaws tightly shut on the coffee can, and it dropped into the water. Forgetting that he had the lunch pail also in his mouth, Nero jumped in after the coffee can and £lus lost both of them. Fun for the Boys. Then he dived and swam around frantically in the canal. The acci dent had been witnessed by two boys, and, .after they had watched the dog swim around for half an hour, they went to the shoe-shop and told Mr. Newcomb about it. Mr. Newcomb found the dog still swimming about, diving here and there, endeavoring to get the lost luncheon. He called the dog to come out of the Summer Tourist Round-Trip Tickets Will be placed on sale June ist by the Chicago, Milwaukee ®b St. Paul Railway Low fares to all the usual summer tour ist destinations.

The dog was becoming exhausted, but still he swam around, yelping piteously, seemingly heartbroken at having- lost the luncheon. Mr. Newcomb saw that the only way to get the dog out Qf the water was to fish up that lost luncheon, which he did. Nero then consented to come out of the water, but so weak he had to be hauled up on dry land. The dog had been swimming about for an hour. Fee in the Well. "The queerest fee I ever had offered to me was by an old farmer up in Mon roe county," said a prominent physi cian who is also something of a sports man. "I was up there last year for the trout fishing, and one evening I was summoned from the hotel where I was stopping to attend an old woman in the neighborhood who had suddenly been taken ill. After I had fixed her up her husband said to me: "Doc, I don't know what your charge is, but I ain't got no ready cash about me. I'll tell you what I'll do, though. See that well over there? There's one o' the finest trout you ever see in that there well, an' if you can ketch him he's yourn'. I had no tackle with me, and as I had to return to the city next morning I missed the opportunity to collect my fee."—Philadelphia Record. ATLANTIC STEAMERS. Port. Arrived. Sailed.
