The Report Comes From St. Pe tersburg and Lacks Confir mation Other News From the Seat of War. London, May 5. A dispatch to the Central News from St. Peters burg says a rumor is current there that a second battle has been fought at Kiu-Lien-Cheng in which the Russian loss was 7,000 and the Jap anese loss 10,000.

It is be lieved here that the Japanese plans for concerted action have been em barrassed by their failure to block the entrance to Port Arthur Tuesday and a repetition of the attack on the Russian Gibraltar is momentarily expected. Vice Admiral Togo's fleet was sighted off Port Arthur and indeed unconfirmed rumors say he attacked at daylight this morn ing and that fighting is now in prog ress there. At least the cutting off of Port Arthur, if not the fate of the fortress, depends, in the opinion of the gen eral staff, upon Gen. Kuropatkin's preventing a juncture of the Jap anese forces. Port Arthur, May 5. The Japa nese displayed desperate courage in their fireship attack on Tuesday night. As the ships went down un der Russian fire the crews climbed up the mast polls and cheered for the Emperor of Japarj; and their small boats, though soon riddled, did not raise the white flag. A Japanese sol dier who came ashore, when asked to surrender, sprang forward with a revolver in his hands and died fight ing; and one officer committed sui cide. Several other like incidents occurred. Butler Strikes It Rich. Washington, May 6.

The syn dicate will secure a fee of more than $1,500,00 for a suit which it lost and which it took on a contingent fee.

The Enemy Fell Back. St. Petersburg, May 6. A dis patch received to-night says that Port Arthur is cut off from all com munication by land, the Japanese having disembarked their troops, oc cupied the road and cut the tele graph. Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who is en route to Port Arthur to take com mand of the naval forces in the Far East, will be unable to reach his des tination. Complete details of the landing are lacking, owing to the interruption of communication. No resistance was made, the few Cossacks who ob served the movement retiring when the warships shelled the shore prep aratory to disembarkation. It is be lieved that there are over 20,000 now on land preparing for a forward movement. While the landing was proceeding Thursday the enemy's ships, consist ing of five battleships and cruisers, made a demonstration off PortAr thur to prevent the possible egress of Russian torpedo boats. A num ber of Japanese torpedo boats were also observed off Miado island, to Pigeon bay. Japanese troops swarming across the narrow neck of the Liao Tung Peninsula, the railroad and tele graph communications cut and the Russian Gibraltar isolated and left to its own resources all this the Rus sians seem to accept with great stoicism. According to official information the landing of troops from sixty transports began simultaneously at Putewo and Cape Terminal, on the morning of May 5. The Minister of War has received the following telegram from Major General P. Pflung, Chief of the mil itary staff: "According to the Chinese reports, by the evening cf May 5, about 10, 000 of the enemy's troops had landed and taken up quarters in the Chinese villages near the points of debarka tion. Despite the greater number ofL Japanese, the general staff believes that their formidable fortifications still leave the defensive superiority with the Russians, whose staying qualities, it is confident, will insure their holding out as long as neces sary. Lieutenant General Stoecell will have supreme command at Port Ar thur. He is described as a high-class commander. The Russians supplies at Port Arthur are said to be suf ficient to last for a year. There are about 10,000 soldiers there. Washington, May G. The State Department has received a cable gram from United States Minister Griscom, at Tokio, confirming the press report of the landing of the Japanese in the Liao Tung penin sula, about forty miles above Port Arthur. The location given in the Japanese dispatch is Kinchau. This is the narrowest point on the penin sula anti consequently, the Minister says, the railroad is practically closed and the investment of Port Arthur has begun. The Japanese legation has received information from Tokio that on May hill east of Feng Huang Cheng, fired upon 300 Japanese comrades retreat ing from the Yalu, mistaking them for the enemy. They wounded 100 and killed 70. The rest of the body fled in disorder, abandoning com missary carts. ' Dr. Miles' fain Pills 3top UsuflacJiU ARTHUR HEDGED BODY OF MIZ FOUND. DISCOVERED NEAR MOUN TAIN PATH, At Kelly view, Wise County, Va. Two Teeth Shot Out and Bullet Holes Found in His Coat and Vest. Bristol, Va., May 9. The body of E. L. Wentz, discovered in the mountains, near Kelleyview, Wise county, Virginia, Saturday after noon by Dave Raleigh, a miner em ployed at an operative at Blackwood, Va,, while hunting a lost cow, lies to-night identically as it was first seen, and around it stand a guard of twenty-five men under command of Supt. Arthur Foster, of the Osaka Plant of the Virginia Coal and Iron Co. The body has not been dis turbed in any way and will not be until to-morrow, when D. B. Wentz and J. L. Wentz, brothers of the dead man, arrive on the scene. They are en route to-night in a special train from Philadelphia. No inquest has been held and will not be until the brothers are on the scene. Upon making the ghastly discovery, Raleigh ran to Black wood, a mining settlement a mile or more distant, and there first told of the fact to Bent Kilgore, a police officer of that section. As no examination of the body has been made, little has so far been de termined as to the cause of his death. All seem to agree that he was shot, but whether it was suicide or mur der is the question. Two of his front teeth are gone, presumably shot out, while holes, thought to be two bul let holes, are found through the coat and vest just below the ribs on the left side. The place in which the body lies has been recently burned off by forest fires, and his hair and clothing are scorched. The body is lying about thirty feet from the mountain path and is now easily seen for a hundred feet. Numbers of men recently,, have passed near the spot without discov ering the body, though, from all ap pearances, there seems no doubt that it has lain there all the time. Hun dreds of people visited the spot last night and to-day. DRUGGIST J. H, HILL & SON'S AGREEMENT. Fair Offer that Inspires Great Con fidence In Mi-o-ca, the Flesh Forming Food. "It is not very often that we have such faith in a medical preparation that we are willing to tell our cus tomers that it costs them nothing un less it does them good," said J. II. Hill & Son to a Akgus reporter. "It is in this way, though, that we are selling Mi-o-na, the flesh forming food. We have sold so much of it and seen such remarkable re sults follow its use, that we are al ways glad to give a written guaran tee with every box of Mi-o-na we sell to refund the money if it does not increase the weight, regulate di gestion and restore health. "Quite a good many people order Mi-o-na from us by mail and the SK.uie guarantee is given when sold ia t hat w ay. It costs 50c. for a large sized box, and iu almost every case it does what is claimed for it regu lates digestion, increases weight and I restores health. If it does not do j this, the cost is nothing, and we are ready to reiunu tne money wnen tne empty box comes back. "Every one who is thin and weak and in poor health ought to accept an offer like this," says Druggists J. H. Hill & Son. The Argus agrees with them in considering it a good chance for people to get well without the possibility of spending their moDey uselessly. MI OF PORT M IS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN BROKEN And Communication is Again Opened Up Cotton Contra bandThe Japs are Shell- '.V ing- Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, May 11. The most important official news from the front up to this hour is that telling of the complete re-establishment of railroad and telegraph communica tion with Port Arthur, though how it was brought about and whether a battle was necessary to accomplish it are mysteries which Viceroy Alexieff failed to clear up. The elation of the authorities ig sobered by official dispatches show ing the activity of the Japanese in in eastern Manchuria. Kuang-Gen-Sien, fifty miles northeast of Fang: Wang Cheng, was occupied by the Japanese and enables an advance along the bad roads to the flank, either at Liao Yang or Mukden. The territory between the main road to Feng Wang Cheng and the river Yayang has been penetrated by such a strong force of Japanese as to lead to the suggestion that another army has landed at Takushan, of which the outside world has not before heard. The activity of the Japanese, how ever, has been expected and there fore has not diminished the satisfac faction felt at the opening of com munication with.Port Arthur. The people naturally wish for more details concerning the re-establishment of communication with Port Arthur. All they know defin itely is that the railroad has been re opened and that at five o'clock yes terday atternoon, the first dispatch passed over the re-constructed tele graph lines. Shan Hai Kwan, May 10. It is reported that the first Japanese army corps, having followed the Russians retreating from the Yalu river, over took them twenty miles south of Liao-Yang yesterday aDd a severe engagement ensued. The Japanese dragged their guns up hills believed to be unsurmountable. The Rus sians thereupon continued to retreat north. A division of the first corps is ap proaching New Chwang, which is now garrisoned by a handful of Rus sians. Japanese scouts have been seen six miles from New Chwang. Nineteen women were the last , civilians to leave New Chwang for Shan Kai Kwan. They arrived here to-night and confirmed the reports of the evacuation of New Chwang. Paris, May 11. -The Matin's St. Petersburg correspondent says it ia persistently rumored that there ha3 been a big fight near Mao-Tien-Ling pass between the Russians and Gen. Kuroki's army. The Russians, he says, lost heavily, Lieut. Gen. Sas salitch being among the killed... London, May 11. (Wednesday) The Tokio correspondent of the Morning Post, cabling under data of May 10, says that a high angle bombardment of Port Arthu is pro ceeding. St. Petersburg, May 10. An im perial order declaring cotton contra band of war was officially gazetted this, rooming. This action was taken because of the use of cotton m the manufacture cf high explosives. .
