LONDON, 7th June, The 'T'sar has ordered the mobilisation of
the first Army Corps, which includes the St.
l'etersburg district.
General Kuropatkin reports a five hours fight on the 3rd instant at Khotsiaputse, 18 miles west of Feng-buang-cheng. The Japanese attempting to advance from a forti- fied position were driven back by Cossacks,
assisted by field guns; sixteen Cossacks were
wounded.

dark with a heavy thunderstorm, and nothing could be seen, which made marching very difficult. At 4 am, a flying column was sent to occupy the city of Kinchau, which was
done.
The artillery was to have opened fire at 4.30 am. on the 26th, but owing to the dense fog prevailing, this was deferred by one hour. At 5.30 the whole force of artillery under the command of Major-General Uchiyama com- menced firing against South Hill. From 6 a.m. four vessels from the Imperial Fleet, which took up a position in Kinchau Bay, assisted the army in shelling the enemy, who responded with the whole of their artillery

"DE ROUGEMONT'S "RIDE.
TUTORING THE TURTLE FOR THE GREAT
CHANNEL. TRIP:
The greatest war "special" of the age is un. doubtedly M. Louis de Rougemont.
-Fresh fromthe din of battle and the wild wastes of Korea, he was at home to me yesterday, writes a representative of The Daily Chronicle, to whom he promised to confide the very latest from the Far East. Being De Rougemont, it was naturally quite unnecessary for him to go to the scene of operations. Thousands of miles even do not impede his sight. For him the censor has no terrors. Wireless telegraphy pales in his presence. He is there; he sees everything, and, what is more, sees it all from a top back room somewhere in the neighbour

RUSSIAN VERSION OF THE FIGHTING,
Shanghai, 4th June, Major-General Dessino, the Russian Military Agent in China, has issued the following telegram:-
Moukden, 3rd Juoc, 7.35 p.m. Our cavalry had on the 30th May an engage- ment near
Wu-fang-kou with a Japanese detachment consisting of two or three battalions and two squadrons of cavalry. One Japanese squadrons of Siberian Cossacks, with whom they had a hand to hand fight, while unter

A few days before I was on the banks of the Yalu River and heard the thundering of the guns when the Russians fell. How do I manage it? You, of course, know that I am studying hypnotism. All I do is to fling myself down upon a couch, and my marvellous gift With every muscle, every limb of my body at ease the tongue even must be perfectly relaxed--I am able to go whither will, and call into my presence what spirits! the world over just as I please."

• MORE LIFE FOR. THE TURTLE. "More life!" he exclaimed. "It must have" more life. "How? Very simple. I merely make a few passes, thus"(turning up his sleeves)" and the turtle yields to my influence" Of court, it was not to be expected that the unitiated on looker could see the passes doing their work. True, the creature's eyes did blink, but whether it was winking one and keeping the other open in case anything happened, it was impossible to say. it was sufficient for us to be told that the spell had had its effect. To-marrow it is to have some more,' if it wants it."
The next question was: Given a tank De Rougement, would the turtle play its part?
So we had it put back into the tank. There was only a foot of water, but of that we had no official knowlede. "Now we shall see his vitality," said m'sieu. "Allez! Allez, mon ami! Go on!" And he pushed it to the bottom, hang. ing on to its neck with a great show of bravado to see if it would pull. But even turtles are not to be hustled-this one least of all.

Russians returned to their ship. Four 9 cm. guns at Dalboshin continued to fire at the Third Division till about 7 p.m. The artillery of our left wing engaged these guns, but owing to the great range our fire had not full effect
The enemy's position on South Hill was a precipitous elevation, and was very strongly defended. A sort of ball permanent fortress was constructed and mounted with about 70 guns of all sizes, in addition to eight machine guns, all surrounded by strong earthworks, protected with covers for infantry fire. To the front of the position were mines and barbed wire, a large number of machine guns occupy ing the intervening space between the mines.
Our artillery exerted themselves to the utmost to destroy these defence works and moved their position several times, approach- ióg nearer to the enemy and assi ting the in- fantry in their advance. The enemy made such a stubborn resistance that the situation remained unchanged till § p.m., and there was An officer belonging to one of the ships of yet no opportunity for an infantry charge. The

SAILORS FIGHT WITH CENTIPEDES.
When the sailors went below they discovered a horde of tarantulas and centipedes prepared to give battle. As the crawling enemy advas ced to the attack, the sailors prepared to repulse them. They bad armed themselves with long. strong bones and with these they fought and beat off tarantulas and centipedes. It was a fight against too heavy odds. The foe was too numerous. As fast as one tarantula would be

In the battle not a few of the seamen were aipped in the legs and were saved from serious bites by the sea boots they wore. Those sailors who were in the hold of the bark acon became exhausted and others of the crew took their places. But they could not get rid of their tenacious foes.
A dispatch to the New York Journal from Anteng says the flag of Japan flies over sixty Japanese cavalry bave been streaming nonh towards Liaoyang and the main division of the Russian army. A fresh division of Japanese troops has been pouring in from the sea. Every hour brought increased evidence of the com pleteness of the Russian defeat. Long lines of Russian prisoners, continues the dispatch, are constantly marching into Antung from the front. They are mostly of gigantic stature, grey-coated and wearing shaggy shakos, in striking contrast to the japanese troops who constitute the guard. The Russians seem amazed at the speed and force with which the Japanese strike. The prison. ers are battleworn and show from their dazed ex- pression a sense of having experienced incom- prehensible calamities at the hands of the japanese. Many wounded Russians have been brought in by the Japanese. The hospital at Chulien-cheng is overcrowded with wounded, most of whom are soldiers of the Tsar. The baule-field presented a sickening spectacle following the engagement. Japanese and Russians lay intermingled, their faces turned to the sub some dead, others dying, and more being deftly cared for by skilled surgeons. One detail which differentiates the systems of the two armies caught the eye at once. Upon the breast of each Japanese soldier is pinned when he goes into battle an identification ticket containing his name, rank and regiment. After a battle it is easy to identify the dead and wounded. About the Russians there is nothing to furnish a clue to the identity of the slain.
A Chefoo dispatch to the Kobe Shimbun states that the Russian gun-boat which shelled the left flank of the Japanese army during the attack of South Hill was the Bobr. The gunboat was chased by the Japanese squadron on May 26th and sought shelter in Dalny Bay. It is reported that the vessel was blown up and sunk by her crew after the battle. This vessel is of 950 tons displacement, and is an old boat, having been launched in 1885.
RUSSIAN GUNBOAT'S ADVENTURE. An interesting incident in connection with the various stories related about the successful or unsuccessful attempts to block Port Arthur Harbour, as the case may be, is related by an officer on one of the merchant vessels which has been lying in Dalny since the outbreak of
the war.
ly news was worth handfuls of gold, and
"But what about l'ort Arthur? Has it been bottled up at last? And where are the war correspondents?"
"Oh, yes!" began the "special," looking uncomfortably wise. "H'm. Yes. Port Arthur Did I ever tell you what happened to me two years ago, when I was in South Africa during the Boer war?"
"No, m'sieu. But, really, I'm exceedingly anxious about Arthur. Surely you can tell me what you saw?"

"And what did he say about the other side?"
"Well, be assured me that if he had only now life

But never a smile or a frown ruffled the placid features of De Rougemont as he went to make some revelations about the authorship of the plays.

"Shakespeare wrote them, of course, told me se. He said, 'Louis, my friend, they may say what they like, but I wrote those plays. Of course, I'm not going to say but what Bacon was a very clever man, but all that he koew was obtained through hard study. I did nothing. I simply sat down and wrote.'

That might be. For the present it was in- teresting enough to hear his views on the hereafter.
