STEAMER TARTAR
Blockade Runner From Port Ar
thur Arrives
SHE IS BOUND FOR ENGLAND
Rtperts That Russian Battleship Sv
vastapool Was Scuttled and Sunk (
Ijy tha Russian Navy in Deep
Watsr and Is Total Loss.
Victoria, B. C Feb. 19. -Anions; the
Arrivals from the orient on the steamer
Tartar are Chief Officer Triplet, Sec
ond Officer Leak and A. L. Johnson,
engineer of the steamer King Arthur
, blockade runner which carried food
stuffs and munitions from Bombay to
Port Arthur, arriving 10 days before
the fortress fell. ' They are bound to
England.
Russian officers, on the Tartar in
clude the commander' of the Liaotl-
shan fort on Tiger's tail Lieutenant
Below. He, with others of the crew
of the battleship Sevastopol, was as
signed to shore duty. Over six hun
dred of the seven hundred men on the
Sevastapol were sent ashore and all
the big guns of tha warship were
taken ashore. Only small pieces were
. left on the battleship when she was
destroyed and less than a hundred
men were on board. Four torpedoes
struck her. Then she was scuttled
.most of her crew escaping. The Se
vastapol was sunk la deep water. Other
warships may be recovered but she
will neved be. Lieutenant Below think
Port Arthur could not have been held ,
much longer. There was no food, not
much ammunition for the large ord
nance, though plenty .for. the small
nieces. For the last two and a half
months of the siege no Junks arrived.
The Russian officers claim General
Kondratenko, chief of engineers, anj
jQeneral Blely, chief of artillery, were
the heroes ot the dege. After Kon-
dratenko's death, they say the officers
seemed to give moat of their attention
to their personal safety. Two-thirds
nt tha naval brigade were killed at
203-Meter hilL '...,...
Prior to the surrender a dramatic
scene occurred. The garrison was
massed. All naval and military flags
were procured. General Stoessel, with
a mniirnln band on his arm, said
Aiwnnlir: "It's all over with Port
Arthur. The fla shall be spared its
fate.
Priests offered prayer, officers stand
in br with the flags. Colonel Khil-
koff. wounded, supported by two men
limped forward, kissed the flag of his
regiment and tossed It into a fire: also
hix nhouldersstrops. Other officers
followed his example. The flag bum
ing episode lasted three hours. The
blockade runners of the KJng Arthur
say they had no trouble evading the
blockade, though the strain of constant
wa.tcb.ln was severe. Their cargo,
mostly barley, was loaded at Bombay
They were promised liberal bonuses if
successful, but received only their pay.
After Port Arthur fell the Japanese
seized their vessel. They were taken
to Janan and there released. They
were kindly treated.
Russian prisoners have started sev
eral outbreaks recently at Matsuyaina.
Several escapes have taken place. Two
fRor. vuio.1 upvpral Dollcemen who

be court-marshaled.

victim of Consumption or Pneumonia
But what Coughs and Colds are prop
erly treated, the tragedy Is averted. F
Huntley of Oaklandon, Ind, writes:
"My wife had ths consumption, and
three doctors gave her up. Finally she
took Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, which
cured her, and today she Is well and
strong." It kills the germs of all dis
eases. One dose relieves. Guaranteed

W. R. Mcintosh, whose place of resi

For years I suffered very much from
lameness and soreness across the small
of my back. To turn In bed gave roe
painful twinges and when I was not
working but simply .standing around
there was a constant aching over my
hlpa The kidney secretions gave me
no end of trouble. I often thought I
had gravel, so painful were the se
cretions In passing. I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box at
Charles Rogers' drug store, on Com
mercial St. On taking them I soon
noticed an Improvement In my con
dition and the pain across my back
was soon wonderfully relieved. Though
did not take Doan's" Kidney Pills as
regularly as I should have done, they
did me a great deal of good."
