Delayed In transmission.) A party of Japanese men on their way to Tien Tsln was arrested at Tal Hal Chow February 12 with their women, arrived here In custody. The American Consul, H. "B. Miller, procured the release of the women, but Viceroy Alexieff ordered their rearrest and trans portation, together with all the Japanese in Manchuria, to Port Arthur. Mr. Miller based his action on assur ances the Russians gave the Japanese Consul that all Japanese subjects would be protected and permitted to leave when they desired. It is stated that 400 Japanese refugees from Harbin and elsewhere, who arrived at MulJden February 10, were arrested, and that many of them were severely beaten and detained until they purchased their release. "When liberated the Japanese were sent In open trucks to Tal Hal Chow, where they were again maltreated and sent on to Port Arthur. Some of their women were sent to NIu Chwang. Consul Miller took the women under his protec tion and sent them to Shan Kai Kwan. Independent naval officers say the Czarevitch, Retvizan, Pallada and Novlk, damaged In the naval battle oft Port Arthur, cannot be repaired in time to de cide the command of the sea. They also say the Russian land forces are demoral ized. They are trying to watch the en tire coast. The officers of the Russian gunboat Sl voutch, at NiU Chwang, declare they are prepared to blow up their vessel in case of danger. They are employing a search light all night long oyer the surrounding plains. ' " ' Admiral Alexieff 'has forbidden all ships to enter any of the ports .of the Llao Tung Peninsula.

Miller, Consul at Niu Chwang, Is an Oregon man. He has .made an excel lent record In the Consular service.) METROPOLIS OF MANCHURIA. Handsome Russian City Built In Cen ter of Disputed Territory. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. What the Rus sians have accomplished at Harbin, the great inland metropolis of Manchuria, is told in a report to the State Department by Mr. Miller, the American Consul at Niu Chwang. Harbin is on the Sungarl River, at -the junction of the Manchurian branch of the Siberian Railway and the. Chinese Eastern branch, where it starts south to Dalny, Port Arthur being distant from the last point 60 miles. Mr. Miller says Harbin is destined soon to become the commercial center of Man churia, as It is the geographical center, and that the city on all sides for hun dreds of miles Is surrounded with a rich and productive agricultural country pro ducing corn, beef, oats, barley, beans, millet, hemp, tobacco, vegetables and some fruits. The vicinity also abounds in nilneralr, timber and large areas of graz ing lands. Of the administration of this metropolis, Mr. Miller says: "It is as distinctly a Russian city as though it were located in the heart of Russia and none but Russians and Chinese are permitted to own land, construct buildings or engage in any permanent en terprise. The city has been created by the Russian government under the man agement of the Manchurian Railway Company. The land for many miles in each direction has been secured against fok'lgners. who are not recognized as haling any rights whatever, but arc per mitted there merely on sufferance." With a population of 12,000 in 1&0L Har bin by the census of last year showed 60, 000 inhabitants, exclusive of soldiers, onlv 700 of whom are foreigners. There are no Americans. The city has elegant adminis tratlon buildings, railway shops costing over jl.000,000, hospitals, commercial, tech nical. Russian and Chinese schools, clubs. hotels and a bank, representing a total Investment in buildings alone of $15,450,000. The capital of the foremost enterprises Is furnished by Siberian Jews. Harbin was started primarily as a military center and an administrative town for the gov ernment and direction of railway affairs. Its marvelous commercial development iv as an afterthought.

PARIS. Feb. 16.-A dispatch to the Fclalr from St. Petersburg savs It Is af firmed there that after the bombardment of Hakodate, which has not been offi cially corroborated, the four Russian cruisers, which took part in the engage ment, were driven back to Vladivostok by a storm. Position of Vladivostok Squadron. LONDON. Feb. 16. In a dispatch from Toklo, dated February 12. a correspond ent of the Times says that the Russian Vladivostok squadron is still to the west waiSIof Trugaro Strait, the eastern exit being guarded by torpedoes. Port Arthur, which the Japanese fleet is believed to have pracUcally besieged, is the most important Russian naval staUon in the East. It was leased to Russia Japan and-other powers say It was seized In 1S0S, and since that time tbe port and docks have been reconstructed until now It is one of the best fortified places In the world. It was Port Arthur toward which all the energies and ambition of the Japanese were bent during the war of 1804, and their final capture of the place after a-brllllant victory over the Chinese was made memorable by a shocking massacre of the lnhabtants. The native name of Port Arthur is Xu-shun-k'ou. It is situated at tbe extreme southern point of the Llao-tung peninsula, and was merely a small village .of mud bouses unUl 1SS1, whn China decided to establish a naval, dockyard there. At first the work was intrusted to native workmen, but in 1SS7 a French company took up the contract and in three years time the work was. completed. The port has a large refitting basin, with a depth of 25 feet at low water. Spacious wharves and bays border this basin and are connected with the workshop by a railway. Two docks, one 400 feet In length, and .the other smaller, are ready tor the repair of all classes Of vessels, from battleships to torpedo-boats. The foundries and workshops are constructed on the most Improved models, and contain the best modern machinery. Tbe harbor is protected both on the land and sea sides by artillery of the most approved pattern, and the outer and Inner harbors are sown with submarine mines. The sides of the dock basin would berth a doren ocean liners, and this dock in itself is almost a fortress. On one side stands, like a monument of the purpose of the place, a huge pair of shears, a modern piece of machinery high enough to dismast or enmast any vessel afloat. One might run his craft under it, and no matter bow high or how heavy the masts may be, the shears will take them out like a monster dentist of the sea. Electric power runs all the machinery, most of which has been supplied by American firms. The naval port Itself is located on what is called the Regent's Sword, a promontory nearly opposite Wei Hal Wei, and commands the entrance to the Gulf of Pechlll, the gateway to the Chinese capital. Under Russian rule the town has been built up rapidly. There are many-handsome residences In Port Arthur, and the presence In late years of high officers of both the army and navy has enlivened - the place. Admiral Alexieff. the viceroy of the East, practically holds court In Port Arthur, and only recently a grand ball was given, In which his daughter led the cotillon. So far as social matters are concerned. Port Arthur has in recent months tried to emulate Paris. Vienna and St. Petersburg. KNEWNQSURRENDER The Russians Charged With Breaking Rules of War. DETERMINED TO SINK SHIP Passengers on Steamer Declare Wrecking of Japanese Merchant man Was Wanton Murder-No Attempt Made to Rescue Men. HAKODATE. Feb. 15. Violation of every rule of civilized warfare and wan ton murder of non-combatants Is charged by passengers, who arrived here this afternoon on board the Rrltlsh steamer Missouri, Captain Brice, which sailed for San Francisco, via this port, from Na gasaki on January 3. The Missouri was a witness, while near Yezo Island, of the attack on two small Japanese merchant men by the four vessels of the Russian Siberian fleet The two vessels, according to the story brought to port by the Missouri, were surprised by the Russians. The latter fired across the bows of both craft, the usual signal to heave to. The captain of the ship Immediately pulled down his flag and threw his steam er into the wind. This action. Instead of being pleasing to the Russians, seemed to exasperate them, and they began firing at the vessels. The commander of the wther ship, being nearly out of range, quickly clapped on all steam and took a chance In order to escape. He succeeded more through the poor Are of the Rus sians than his own good management, leaving his sister ship to her fate. According to the story told by the pas sengers on the Missouri, the Russian squadron steamed around the Ill-fated ves sel, firing at her with their big guns and hitting her more than once. Finally, al though the Japanese unarmed vessel bad done her best to surrender, a torpedo was launched from the Russian flagship which struck the craft almost amidships. There was a sudden upheaval, a cloud of steam, and In an instant where there had been a vessel was only a mass of floating wreck age. The Russians, according to this report, made no attempt to rescue the 33 persons on board, and they all perished miser- ably. The Missouri was not close enough to be of any assistance to the victims, neither was her commander la a position to defy the Russians if he desired to. "When the news of the outrage reached here It caused a profound sensation. Considered an Act of Piracy. TOKIO, Feb. 16. The Japanese govern ment has taken official notice of the sink ing of a Japanese merchantman off the coast of Japan on February 11. It is In timated that the Japanese officials con sider the action of the Russians one of piracy and that reprisals may be expect ed. JAPAN MOVES TROOPS AT NIGHT Great Care Is Taken to Keep Their Destination a Mystery. SHANGHAI, Feb. 15. Advices from Na gasaki dated Friday. February 12. state that absolute reticence Is maintained by the government and an Intense war feel ing prevails among all classes, although there is an apparent absence of excite ment. Among the striking (features of the situation are the strict censorship which Is exercised over all cablegrams and the close concealment of military and naval movements. It has been the gov ernment's policy to have the news of naval conflicts come as to compel sur prise. The Russians In Japan are not terrified by the situation, but nevertheless, acting on the advice of their consuls, they have begun a general exodus. The mobilisation of the Japanese army has been carried out methodically; it is estimated that 300,000 troops are now ready to be placed In the field, without impairing the na tional defenses. The movements of the troops are shrouded In secrecy. They are being moved at' night toward their bases, and the lights of ordinary trains are ex tinguished when in the neighborhood of troop trains. , Members of the reserve force Imme diately step into the places of the outgo ing regulars. Their organization is per fect, and a full equipment is ready for each one of the" reserves. The govern ment officials expect to profit by dissen sions In the Russian Council of State. It is believed that extraordinary power con ferred on Viceroy Alexieff will lead to a clash between Foreign Minister Lamsdorf and General Kuropatkin. especially as the, latter is unfriendly to Alexieff. The result of a disagreement between these two Russian leaders Is exdected here to end in a military' muddle. The Japanese are convinced that the Russians will be unable to concentrate more than 50,000 troops at any point of military opera tions. There is much talk current in regard to the possible disabling of the Russian rail road in Manchuria. Thousands of Japan ese, who were practically undlstlngulsh able from Chinese, are working in Man churia, and would willingly risk their lives for their country. A large body of troops Is due in Nagasaki on Saturday to embark on transports for Corea. A protective boom of mines has been placed about the entrance to Nagasaki harbor. Yokohama is also guarded by mines. Several Russian merchant vessels which have been captured and have been held as prizes have been taken to Sasebo, where they are well guarded!

HIS OWN PEOPLE CAN WIN Numerous Offers of Contributions From America Will Be Considered at Cabinet Meeting, and Are Likely to Be Rejected. TOKIO, Feb. 14. (Delayed In transmis sion.) Goro Takahlra, the Japanese Min ister at Washington, has officially advised his government that ho is receiving un raerous offers of large contributions to the war fund from Americans and requests in structions as to the policy of the govern ment in the master. It Is considered prob able that Japan will refuse to accept this proffered aid, while stating that the gov ernment is deeply gratified at this and other expressions of American sympathy. The Cabinet will consider the question and formally instruct Minister Takahlra shortly. Many applications for permission to en list in tho Japanese army and navy Are coming from various parts of the world. Some of those anxious to fight for Japan have personally applied to the military authorities here. Among this number Is Included a Turkish officer. All of these applications have been politely, but firmly refused. No foreigners will be allowed to participate In tho military or naval op erations of Japan except as spectators. Mikado Pledged Hearty Support. At a meeting of bankers, newspaper proprietors and commercial men held In Toklo today it was resolved to support the government. Irrespective of party lines, so as to prevent domestic affairs from dis tracting the nation from the prosecution of war. Those present at the meeting ap proved the proposed plan of curtailing the domestic administrative expenses and di verting the amount thus saved to the war fund. It was decided heartily to support the army and navy, and also to devise a plan for the relief of disabled soldiers and sailors. The meeting also agreed to send a letter of congratulation to VIce-Admlral Togo. A detailed report of his battle at Port PORT ARTHUR, PRINCIPAL PORT IN MANCHURIA, SCENE OF OPENING OF JAPANESE-RUSSIAN WAR. Arthur has not been received from Vlce Admiral Togo by the Navy Department, and the public is still without the full particulars of the engagement. A- letter from one of the men who par ticipated In the naval light says the torpedo-boat attack succeeded through a clever feint. The majority of the vessels.; comprising the torpedo flotilla maneuvered in front of the Russian line and held Its attention while the rest of the torepdo boats Worked around to the rear and got close to the enemy's vessels before being discovered. They then fired their destructive missiles and scurried away from danger as quickly as possible. Fleet Probably Put Back. No further, news of the Russian Vlad ivostok squadron has been received here. It is thought to have returned to the port of Vladivostok, In preference to risk ing a fight or exhausting Us fueL Great military activity still continues, but the government carefully conceals its plans and does not indicate the date of any projected movement. Although ev ery moment of delay enables the Rus sians to become better prepared for the conflict, the Japanese, apparently, are un concerned and confident. They fully real ize that the limited capacity of the Trans Siberian Railway, the distance of the Rus sions from their base of supplies and the lack of communication by sea sets limita tions on the proposed accomplishments of Russia In Manchuria and Siberia. They feel that no danger attaches In that quar ter, and are waiting the completion of Japan's naval programme. MEXICAN DOLLARS GOING FAST Advance In Price by War Will Take Them Out of Philippines. "WASHINGTON. Feb. 15. The Insular Bureau of the "War Department Is in formed that the value of the Mexican dol lar In Hong Kong Is 4S4 cents, a jump of two points since Saturday noon. This places the coin oa a practical parity with our own silver Philippine peso. The Mex ican dollar has practically advanced from 37 cents to Its present figure within a year. This last increase is explained at the War Department by the statement that the war has caused a heavy drain, Chinese and Japanese merchants converting much of their stock into cash to be prepared for emergencies. The result is expected to be the practical extirpation of the Mexican dollar In the Philippines, which object Is much desired for a heavy import duty on the Mexican dollar will keep It out of the Islands once it Is drawn.

In answer to the demand of the British government for an explana tion wny the British ships were held up by the Russians at Port Arthur, Viceroy Alexieff replied that the vessels were de tained because they had Japanese on board. The shots fired at the British steamer Fuplng by the" Russian guardshlp at Port Arthur, as the Fuplng was leaving that port last Tuesday, were, the Viceroy says. due to a misunderstanding on the part of officers of the guardshlp.

"When I did consult him he told me I had female trouble. I felt sharp pains through my stomach and could not walk acros the room without suf fering agonies which I cannot describe. My head ached so that it fairly thumped, and at times It seemed that I would go crazy. My stomach became so weak that it would retain only the lightest food. Week after week' I took the doctor's medicine, but I continued to feel worse and worse. On several occasions I was confined to my bed for a week at a time. My weight decreased to 102 pounds and I seemed a confirmed Invalid. "One day I read of a. case similar to mine that had been cured by Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and, although I did not have mucli con fidence, I began taking the plll3, having already discontinued my doctor's treat ment. While I was taking the second box I began to feel a little better, and the Improvement continued until I was cured. In a few months I had recov ered my health and strength and weighed 132 pounds.
