ELEVEN TP,AINS DAILY,
Tho London Times says it learns
that the wounded Russian offic,er
who have returned from the ;war give
on the whole a favorable tweeted; of
tlhe arrangements ler conveying
troops on the Siberian Railway.
There are from eight to eleven trains
daily. The steamers on Lake Baikal
carry 4,000 men daily.
Gen, Kouropeakin, in lds despatch-
es to St. Petersburg, complains-. of
the lack of training and incapacity
of bis officers, but he praises his
men. Ile also complains that his
horses ate too few and unfit, they
being inferior to the good Japanese
horses.
REFITTING HIS SHIPS.
A despatch to the London Times
from Seoul says that the main Jap-
anese squadron is being largely re-
lieved from. its exacting duties out-
side of Port .Arthur. Admiral Togo
is taking advantage of the opportun-
ity to refit several of his ships,
which are now in dockyards in ;la-
pels. Ile still has vessels enmesh to
protect shipping in the Strait of
Corea. Tho recent appearance of the
Russian warships there created sur-
prise. The loss of transports was
a great shock. It is uncertain who
was to blame for the folly of allow-
ing transports to sail unconvoyed or
whether blame attaches to anybody.
The correspondent is inclined to ex-
anevate Admiral Togo, who, if ho
were consulted, probably opposed
'unnecessary risks.
COSSACKS AMBUSHED.
Another Cossack detachment has
fallen into an ambush of Japanese
infantry, losing a number of men
wounded.

NO ATTEMPT AT SORTIE.
A despatch to tho London Times
from Tokio says that accounts from
Chinese sources indicate that thus
far success has not attended the
Russittiti attempts to free the en-
trance to Port Arthur. Tho recent
Passage of the Russian cruiser No-
vik was only accomplished with the
help of tugs. Only torpecio-boat de-
stroyers are able to leave, They are
occupied in removing mines, Thiety
now forts, armed with guns froiu the
warships, have been erected to
strengthen the land defences. There
is nothing to indicate any intention
on the part of the Russian squadron
to make a sortie. Gem Stoessel is
apparently staking everything on his
capacity to resist a Japanese as-
sault. If he fails he will blow up
the remnant of the scpsadron.

PORT ARTHUR QUIET,
The only news of Port Arthur
comes from Chefoo, whence it is stat-
ed thee the Japanese are not push-
ing their advance against the fort-
ress so vigorously as they did at
the beginning of the month. Chinese
who have arrived at Chore° state
that the firing is less frequent. A
stenmship that passed within three
miles of Liao-Tshin reports that the
guns on Golden HUI were firing Inc
an hour Tuesday evening. The noise
of machine guns was heard behind.

$1,000,000 IN GOLD.
A message from Vlaclivostock says
that Admiral Sltrydloff's squadron
seized ono million dollars in coin on
board the Japanese transport Sado
when the Russian cruisers overhauled
her in. Corea Strait on the 15th in-
stant.
JAPAN WOULD MEDIATE.
The Gazette prints a semi-official
communique from Berlin, which may
130 construed as the lastest view of
the German Foreign Office as to the
eventual mediation between Russia
and Japan. It says that the Rus-
sian side has hitherto scornfully
scouted the idea of mediation, and
there is no indication of a change of
attitude. But evidence has accumu-
lated lately which, though unofficial,
comes from sufficiently reliable quar-
ters to warrant the view that Japan
is nowise averso to accepting media-
tion, and would not consider the of-
fer an insult. It is pointed out that
Jamul is not intoxicated with its
great successes, and abides by the
original claims for which it went
to war, namely, the exclusion of
Russian influences from Corea, the
integrity of the Chinese Fanpire vio-
lated by the occupation of Man-
churia. Japan would not refuse to
recognize Russia's property rights
in the Mauchurian Railway, and
would agree to an equitable settle-
ment of them. Despite this apparent
willingness, it is difficult to seo how
any offer of mediation would be suc-
cessful so loeg as Russia persists i.n
the negative, it is the severity of
RUSSiall defeat on sea and land that
makes it impossible for the Ozar's
Government to entertain the thought
of On end to the campaign, though
it is uudenittble that a strong under-
current in Russia detests the war
and would conclude it as soon as
possible.
TWENTY MORE CASES.
The Spread of Smallpox at New -
Liskeard,
A Toronto despatch says :—Dr.
Hodgetts, Provincial Health Officer,
has received further reports from the
special health officer sent into the
Temiskaming district, to deal with

ditioaal cases have been (Recovered,
