HONOLULU, Aug. News of the second game of baseball played almost {in the center of the Pacific Ocean has arrived from Midway Island, where, on July 28, the steamship Gaelic team defeated a nine made up of United States marines and cable employes. The Gaelic was at Midway awaiting orders to proceed to Japan and China, depending on the position of Skryd- loff’s fie The Gaelics could play only eight men, as most of the passengers and the officers and crew were British sub- jects and thought a game of cricket would be more in keeping with the holiday they were to enjoy on the lit- tle sand inlet. However, as the base- ball fans pointed out the fact that Midway bore aloft on its one flagpole the Stars and Stripes and that, under the circumstances, the national Amer- ican game should be in order, basebali was the game decided on. So with only eight men they played the game and won a victory. —_——— Getting Second Wind. The runner who sets out on a two- mile race usually passes through two distinct stages of exhaustion.

This might be called acute | fatigue, but if he can keep on the dis- tress passes away.

YOUNG WOMAN DROWNS IN PRESENCE OF PARENTS Breakers Sweep Miss Adams From Rock and Aid Cannot Reach Her. SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 6—Miss Grace Adams, daughter of the Rev. P. R. Adams, was drowned this morning at the mouth of Liddell Creek. The parents of the young woman wit- nessed her struggles, but were power- less to render assistance. Adams went with her parents a young man name Richards to fish along Yellow Bank. The breakers were unusually high andgone swept her from a rock.

Mrs. Charles Warner of 768 Harri- | son street created a scene yesterday in the jewelry store of Paul Garan at 138 Montgomery street. She accused the proprietor -of her a diamond earring valued at $150. The woman informed the police that she left two earrings with Garan a week ago and that when she called for them yesterday he gave her only one. She became slightly hysterical and wanted the jeweler arrested. Ga- ran produced several witnesses to prove that she left but one earring. After she became quieted Mrs. War- ner decided not to make any charge against the jeweler. Primaries in Monterey County.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 6.—A dis- patch to the Bourse Gazette from Liao- yang says that another great battle has been fought in the neighborhood of Huitslatze, on the railroad, about four- teen miles west of the Liaoyang, in which the Japanese losses are esti- mated to have teen from 10,000 to 13,000 and the Russian losses Insignificant. The dispatch to the Bourse Gazette, which is dated Thursday evening, says: “There has been flerce fighting Tues- day, Wednesday and to-day. The Jap- anese made a vigorous attack on the center of the Russian position at Huit- siatze. The enemy was fifty-four bat- talions strong, thirty-six of which were regular troops and the balance reserve men. General Kuroki employ- ed the reserve men in the attack, while the regulars carried out tht feints in- tended to delude the Russians, The reserve men attacked with desperation. Their ranks were decimated by the Russian fire each time they advanced, but the vacancies were quickly filled by fresh men. The Russians ultimately slowly retired to suitable positions, whence they inflicted great losses on the Japanese with heavy artillery fire. The Japanese losses are estimated at 10,000 to 13,000. The Russian losses were comparatively insignificant.” SR | Desperate Charge of Japanese Upon the Port Arthur Defenses. CHEFU, Aug. 6.—A newspaper pub- lished in Port Arthur and which wat ary details of the recent heavy fighting | there. The Japanese artillery opened a de- | sultory fire on the afternoon of July 25. That night the Russians slept on their arms in the trenches. They occupied a line sixteen miles long. The next morning, July 26, the fog | cleared away at 6 o'clock and the Japa- ! nese then began to fire along the entire {line. This fire was kept up until dark. The Japanese marksmanship was more accurate, showing that they had de- | rived benefit from the practice of the | preceding day. Their heaviest fire was | directed against the batteries which in- | cluded the twelve-inch naval guns. The hottest fighting began at day- | break of July 27. The battle commenced | under the rays of a scorching sun. The Russian right wing was compelled to undergo the brunt of the terrific can- nonading. To this fierce fire the Rus- sians replied with deliberation. The naval battery was again made the tar- get for the heaviest fire, and it was evident that the Japanese were trying to silence the most dangerous Russian | position. As the day were on the accuracy of the Japanese fire increased. In the meanwhile the Russian infantry, pas- sive witnesses of the artillery duel, lay in their trenches awaiting an attack. They were well protected and but a| 'w shells fell among them. | At 9 o'clock volley firing gave warn- | ing of the Japanese assault, which fol- | lowed swiftly. As the Japanese infan- try advanced the Japanese artillery fire | slackened somewhat, but the Russian | batteries. replied with increased vigor, { while the Russian riflemen volleyed | rapidly. | For an hour the Japanese advanced | intrepidly in the face of a fire which is | described as a thousand volleys in sim- ultaneous eruption. The Japanese ad- vance against the Russian right wing ceased and the Russians cheered, but at this moment news arrived from Gen- | eral Stoessel, the commander in chief, | Te Russian right wing had been subjected | was nothing more than a mask to cover | the concentration of Japanese troops preparatory to an attack on the Rus- sian left wing, of which Wolfs Moun- tain was the key.

At noon of July 27 the Japanese sud- denly ceased firing, and presently ob- servers with the aid of fleld glasses could see the enemy quietly eating rice, After this the right wing was occaslion- ally reminded of the presence of the Japanese by the descent of a huge shell, but the worst was over. In the meanwhile the main attack, which re- sulted in the capture of Wolfs Moun- tain, had been developed. During the fighting of these three days the Russians used telephones for communication with all parts of the field. —————— Had the Judicial Mind. A traveler stopped at the gate of a fine country mansion and said to a grave-looking person smoking on the porc] “Sir, will you be good enough to tell me if this is the road to Cowburg?” “It is,” was the reply. ‘And may I inquire the distance?"” “Ten miles.” The traveler thanked him and passed on. Several hours later he returned and the grave-looking® man was still there, smoking. “Sir,” said the traveler, “vou must be aware that eight miles from here on the Cowburg road is a river which it is impossible to swim and which has neither ford, ferry mor bridge.
