routes in this section soon and
since they have been worked up
it seems that every body wants to
be carrier. Of course liolxxly

of the trouble.

SUED BY HIS D(K'T)R.
"A doctor here has sued me for
sl2.so,which I claimed was excess
ive for a case of cholera morbus,''
says R. White, of Coachella, Cal.
' At the trial he praised his medi
cal skill and medicine. I asked
him if it was not Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy he use as I had good
reason to believe it was, and he
would not say under oath that it
was not." No doctor could use a
better remedy that this in a case

EASTERN WAR.
DESPERATE ENGAGEMENT IN WHICH j,
A REGIMENT OF 'SIBERIAN ,
COSSACKS, SUPPORTED BY
ARTILLERY, WAS VIC
TORIOUS OVER THE
JAPANESE
sgr.fl>-
RON.
Lino Yang, Monday, May J. —
(Delayed in Transmission.) The
Ja|>anese lost 300 killed a number,
of horses in the fight at \ ha; I''*- 1 ''*-
fuchu today. The Russians
opened tire at 8 o'clock in the
morning, anil after two hours and j
a half of long-range firing, the
Japanese, under Gen. Akkiaina,
prepared to charge and crush the
force which had been harrassing
them for twenty-one days. In the
meantime. Gen. Samonoff was ap
proaching Vageiifuehu with a
strong force of cavalry. It was a
sight worth seeing when, at the
wonl of command, the Russian J
squadrons formed and rushed like
a whirlwind across the terribly
cut-up country, clearing away nil j
obstacles, the batteries at the same j
time trotting along the frightful
roads. Having passed the railroad
station, the troops came under the]
tire of the Japanese machine guns, |
but withdrew without suffering!
mush loss. The fourth and sixth !
companies of the Eighth Siberian
Cossacks furiously charged the'
Japanese cavalry with lances, at
tacking lwth rtnnks. In a few'
minutes they literally cut the]
whole squadron into pieces. This
was the first time lances were used,
and they struck terror into the
enemy. In some cases the lances
pierced the riders through and
wounded their horses. Some "of
the lances could not be withdrawn
from the bodieß in which they had
entered. The Japanese infantry,
numbering four battalions of HOO
men to a company, and eight
squadrons of cavalry, attempted to
advance, hut the Russian batteries
opened, ami soon (he slope up
which the enemy was advancing
was covered with black sisits, and
the enemy was forced to scatter
and retire. Some of the Japan
ese cavalry were wonderfully dash
ing, charging with shouts upon
the Russians, who met and scat
tered them, A Cdssack who had
lost his lance and sword wrenched
a swortl from R Japanese officer and
cut off the officer's head,
The Cossacks picked up boots
which had been taken off by the
Japanese, in order to facilitate the
fight, und tlourished them on their
lances as trophies.
The Jayianese used the Boer
trick of displaying dummies, hut
the Cossacks did not waste n shot
on them.
Geu. Samsonoff highly praised
the practice of (he Russian gun
ners.
JAPANESE GET A FOOTHOLD IN THE
OUTER FORTIFICATIONS AFTER
OVERCOMING FEEBLE
RESISTANCE.
London, June J.—The Rome
correspondent of The Daily News
telegraphs: "A Tokio dispatch to
The Giornale d'ltalia says that
the Japanese occupied the first
Jiue of the outer fortifications of
Port Arthur, after overcoming a
feeble resistance.
"The correspondent at Tokio of
a news agency says that four di
visions of Japanese troops have
occupied Kwan Tung heights, on
which they em placed heavy
artillery dominating Port Ar
thur.
"The same correspondent adds
that the Russian squadron at
tempted a sortie, hut was forced
to return, being threatened by the
Japanese fleet."
