Red war now rages in th« far
east!
Early this week the Russian
reply to Japan's ultimatum was
received by tbe Mikado's govern
ment and not being a satisfactory
answer, the sturdy Japs at once
commenced hostilities. They ran
torpedo boats into the harbor of
Port Arthur and succeeded in
sinking three Russian warships
and made good their escape with

in the Far Cast.

way aud that China is aroused as
a reault and is preparing for action
against Russia. The reason for
such action on the part ol the Rus.
sians is that Japanese spies tfis
guit. as Coolies are blowing up
the road and that they cannot be
apprehended, so the only way to
do is to kill off ell the '•Chinese."
The Russian emperor has for
merly declared that agitate efjwar
exists ana lays all the blame on
Japenese for commencing the war
without firat notifiying him of their
intention and is reported he is very
willing to agree to Japan's terms
and that he is ^endeavoring to se
cure the intervention of some for

considered in the light of a "baby

RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKQTA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1904.
