WHY PORT ARTHUR FELL. Remarkable Story of Treason, Dis- grace and Suicide. San Francisco, Cal.. July 17.—| The ease with which the Japanese captured Port Arthur during the re- cent war with China is explained to | Same extent by an article in the Jap- an Gazette, which arrived on the late steamer. According to the Ga- zette the commander of the Chinese | 4 forts was a native of Japan and who | aow had acquired favor in Chinese coun- cils through long residence in the flowery‘kingdom, and intentionally caused the shots from the guns to be misdirected so they would fall short of the Japanese warships. | ‘ Having betrayed his adopted land carried off QUE for the land of his birth, the disgrac- ed commander appeared before the| t victerious Japanese generals, ac- knowledged his treason and commit- ted suicide in their presence. The article continues: “When Port Arthur was attacked | ; by the Japanese army and navy, the latter, after getting within suitable range opened fire on the forts near the coast. The batteries on Hwang Chin answered from heavy guns. These were the strongest forts of Port Arthur, their armament being four Krupp guns. The squadrons approaching within range of such ordnance expecting a telliable can- nonade, and were not a little aston. ished by the weakness of the Chinese resistance. It is true that they op- ened fire on the ships but their shells always fell short of the mark. The sailors supposed this failure to be due to the ixferior gunnery of the Chinese and greeted each shell as it dropped into the sea with loud shouts of derision. The officers, however, were puzzeled by a per- formance to them inexplicable, in- asmuch as they knew that the artil- lery in the forts, whatever the faulti- ness of its handling, could not pos- sibly lack force. Meanwhile the cele. brated naval station of China was stormed from the land side and the defeanders of the fort on Hwang Chin hill were either killed or taken prisoners, their retreat having been cut off by the invaders.” “When the officers that defeated Hwang Chin were brought before the Japanese Generals, one of them apparently an officer of distinction, stepped foward and thus addressed the generals: “I was tho commander of the forts, but now that I have incurred irremediable disgrace, I should like to ask a special favor, namely that I be permitted to commit suicide in|. your presence.” “Such a request was not only contrary to the ordinary habits of the Chinese, but what was far more surprising, it was conveyed in per- ons the \ S and you'll get rid of and give tone to the whole « For a laxati not gripe, nor weaken, bu shes and strengthens. very package has the Red Z% stamp on the wrapper. J. If. Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia, BUSY WITH PLANS. For the Building of Battle Ships and Torpedo Boats. Tammany Will Win by Long Odds in the Next Municipal Election in New York. Washington. D. C., July 12. 95.— Secretary Herbert finds himself so busy with the plans for building the battle ships and torpedo boats authorized by the last congress, and other important business, that he has been compelled to postpone his vacation for a time. He hopes to have things in such a shape that he can leave about the last of the month. According to Col. Harvey of the New York World’s editoral staff, who was in Washington, “Teddy” Roosevelt has given Tammany a “chinch” on the next municipal elec- tion by his strict enforcement of the excise law. Col. Harvey said: “The result will be far reached in a politi- cal way and will beyond doubt dam- age the republicans materially in New York city. I have no idea that they will be able to elect a single as- semblyman or senator from the city or from Brooklyn this fall. Every Tammany candidate will win. Peo- ple who live at a distance can’t begin to appreciate the local feeling that has been aroused by this affair, and it is not a feeling that will die away ina little while. The administration has gone too far now to recede; it must carry out its policy, and the more rigidly that policy is adhered to the more certain and sweeping will be ei East Produces Side Square.

WORKER OF MIRACLES, i } | Mexicans Much Excited Oyer the Do- ings et Francis Schlader. Albuquerque, N. M. July 17.— Looking like an animated picture of the Christ, credited with the mirac- ulous son Francis Schlader, who claims to have been until two years ago a shoemaker in Denver, has set wild the Mexicans of the terri- tory just to the south of the city. They are hailing him as a special disciple, sent from heaven direct te them to give sight to the sightless, hearing to the deaf and to relieve them of all the disease to which the flesh is heir. Today he is followed about by hundreds of Mexicans and Indians, who pray of him that he touch their hands and cure them of their ailments. Representatives of the best Mexican families are implor- ing Shim to enter their wagons to take their horses and go with them to their homes to cure those whe are afflicted jthere. The man goes he says, whither his master directs. and the services he performs he will take nothing. At Peralta, Jesus Mavolazquez, who is said to have been totally blind for three years, sees since he touched this man’s hands. Juliana Sodillo, who has not moved her arme for sixteen years, was working in the fields yes- terday. Scores of similar stories are told. At Sedillo, where Schlader stayed during eight days, a watch was put upon him day and night, and it is asserted that he ate no food and drank but few swallows of water. Absolutely Free.
