FIRST ARM18TICR OF WAR
Mukden, Dec. 3.—All day Friday
siege guns bombarded the villages oc
cupled by Japanese to the east of the
ral(road and early this morning to
the west of the railroad. Cossacks
routed the Japanese south of Li-
dlatoun and captured eight guns.
Crouching in rifle pits has so hardened
the men to danger that they ignore it,
Peculiar war spirits are becoming pop-
ular among the troops. General Ren-
nenkampfis Cossacks are still in pur-
suit of the Japanese and have driven
them out of the villages of Intsagoun-
d*y and Dapindunlgan, taking many
prisoners and rifles.
tore asunder the combatants, Puckler
coming out of the fray with a bleed
ing forehead.
He was not, however, injured so
seriously as to prevent him appearing
that night* at an Anti-Semite meeting
with a bandaged head, where he gave
an extravagant account of the fray
and called for the blood Of all the Jews
in Germany.
The hawking about the streets of
Count Puckler’s disgraceful speeches
has become a public scandal. It Is
absurd to contend that he is not taken
seriously. Large bodies Of people In
Berlin and elsewhere regard him as
their prophet and would gladly do his
bidding had they a favorable oppor
tunity.
Troops Ordered to Philippines.
Lawton. O. T„ Dec. 1.—An order
from the war department has been re-
ceived by the commandant of the four
troops of the Eighth cavalry at Fort
Sill, by the authority of which these
troops are to be transferred to the
Philippines. July 1. Some of the com-
panies forming these troops have been
to the islands before and are not anx-
ious to.return.
SLAUGHTER PORTUGUESE.
Japanese Ready
Par Baltic Fleet.
Chefoo, Dec. 3.—The Japahese pre-
paredness for an encounter with the
Russian second Pacific fleet was evi-
denced by the .officers of the French
steamer, Bin Tfauan, which left Japan
November 30 and arrived- today.
Near Sasebo they saw the Japanese
battleship Mikaea unscarred and evi-
dently fully repaired and painted.
Forty miles south of Shan Tung
promontory the officers of the Bin
Thuan sighted the Japanese battleship
Tsahi similarly rehabilitated.
Repair work to the Japanese fleet
has been progressing with great se-
oreey since August. The torpedo boat
and destroyer flotilla is reported to
have been maintained in good shape.

Tokio, Dee. 3.—The first armistice
between the combatants at Port Ar-
thur was declared December 2, for
the purpose of burying the dead. It

PHOENIX MAN A GUNIST.
Shoot* a Man In Denver Because of
Family Trouble*.
Denver, Dec. 3.—Joseph Nash
fired four shots at Geo. Alleft a fortner
guard at the county jail on Fifteenth
and Arapahoe streets, this afternoon,
two shots taking effect, one in the
right shoulder and one in the left arm.
One of the other Shots hit Jesse Chat*
terton, a bystander, slightly wounding
him in the leg, and a fourth shot went
through the collarette of Mrs. Wm. F.
Russell.
Nash was arrested and Allen was
taken to police headquarters where he
was treated by a surgeon. Chatterton
was able to walk away from the scene
and was taken care of by his family
physician. Nash came to Denver a
short time ago. having left his home
in Phoenix, Ariz., in search of health.
According to the story told by Nash
he married a niece of Allen's about a
year ago in Phoenix. Allen refused to
believe the couple were married and
tried to persuade the woman to leave
Nash. Alien bad made threats against
Nash, so the latter claims, and a few
days ago struck the niece because she
refused to leave her husband. This
afternoon when the two- men met Nash
says Allen struck at him and that he
shot in self defense. Alien refuses to
talk of the affalf.

Notorious Anti-Semitic Leader Meets

Berlin, Dec. 3.1—Couqt Puckler, the
notorious leader of the Anti-Semites,

Terrible 8tory of the Defeat of Col-
umn of Soldiers By Tribesmen.
Lisbon. Dec. 3.—Letters received
from Portuguese West Africa give a
graphic account of the disaster suf-
fered by the troops at the hands of
the rebel Cuyate tribesmen.
The Portuguese column had crossed
a river and camped, while reconnoil-
ering parties were sent out to burn
the native huts. They met with only
a slight resistance, the tribesmen re-
treating and cunningly attracting them
Into the interior.
At dawn on September 25, 500 men,
comprising infantry, cavalry and artil-
lery, with two field guns, half of the
force being composed of natives, be-
gan the march. After five hours they
were beset by swarms of tribesmen,
who attacked on every side, firing with
their superior weapons from the shelt-
er of huge ant hills.
The Portuguese valiantly repelled
the yelling thousands and a small
aquare was formed as a forlorn hope,
but this only afforded a better target
to the enemy, who poured in a cease
less fire. .
The column had no chance of suc-
cess ; the enemy were fifty to one, and
from behind their cover they directed
a hail of bullets from their Mausers
and Martins against the little force,
armed only with the wretched, obse-
lete Kropatchek rifles: The odds were
worse than when the British were as-
sailed by tha Zulus at Isandhlwana.
To make matters worse ammunition
ran short, and the Portuguese lire
eventually ceased.
Realizing the situation and discov
erlng the weak point of the square,
waves of howling savages rushed upon
the troops from every side and sur-
rounded them. The slaughter was ter-
rible. blacks and whites fighting sav-
agely hand to hand with bayonets and
assegais. The officers displayed su
blime heroism and solf-sacrlflfle, but
all was in vain.
Suddenly the din of battle ceased
The natives, fearing, it is supposed,
the arrival of a relief column, fled,
carrying off their trophies. In all six-
teen officers and 250 men were killed.

t Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 3.—The Na-
tional W. C. T. U. today closed its
annual convention after re-affirming
Its faith In the beneficence of the an-
ti-canteen law and pledging itself to
defend the meesure against all ef-
forts to have It repealed, in this com
nection the following resolution was
adopted:
“We rejoice 'n the position of the
56th and 57th congresses In passing
the anti-canteen law and protest
against the continued agitation In fav
or of Its repeal. We also know that
the wisdom of this law will be demon
strated when a fair end impartial test
is made of post exchange buildings
designated by congress for the men
In the ranks."
Speaking In support of (he resolu-
tion Mrs. Margaret Ellis of Washlag
ton, charged that army officers are
pre-empting the post exchange build-
ings erected for the accommodation
of enlisted men for their exclusive
use and thus robbing the privates of
what was designated to take the place
of the canteen.
This resolution was also adopted:
“In view of the fact that wealth pro-
ducers, and especially organized labor
are recognizing the evil effects of the
drink habit on personal achieving the
ability and prosperity and are organ-
izing temperance societies in their own
ranks.
“Resolved. That we co-operate with
labor unions In their efforts in this
direction."

Ijouis to Kansas City, due here at 4
o’clock this afternoon, was wrecked

Portland, Ore., Doc. 3.—Prolific in
surprises and sensations ns have been
the developments In the land fraud
cases, no one was prepared for the
climaxes of today. By far the most
important, both because of Its unqg-
pectedness and because of the moral
effect It is almost certain to have on
the jury, was the request of the de-
fendant Frank Walgainot, through his
attorney, for leave to withdraw his
plea of "not guilty" and he allowed to
plead guilty to the crime of eonsplr
acy as charged. Judge Betiinger took
the matter under advisement. Almost
equally unexpected was the request on
the part of Special Prosecutor Francis
J. Heney, I hat an order of acquittal
lie issued In tbs ease of Marie L.
Warren on the ground that the prose
cutlon did not believe that- she, ac
cording to the evidence, had been
proven guilty of aiding the present
conspiracy.
Of hardly less surprise was the an
nouncement not more than twenty
minutes after the government had
completed its case, by the defense that
it rested and that the case was ready
for argument by the counsel.
The defense only offered explana-
tions in behalf of two of their counsel
and had nothing for ihe defendants
who for two weeks huve listened to a
chain of circumstances by which the
prosecution confidently expects to
convict them of conspiracy to defraud
the government out of a portion of the
public domain.
The defense apparently base their
hopes on an argument to the Jury, and
if that fails, on a reversal of the Judg
ment at the hands of the appellant
tribunal on a question of law.
Nothing In the nature of the do
tense of McKinley. Puter, Ware, Wat
son and others was attempted by the
defendants’ counsel.

which many reports of active skirmish
ing have emanated from the rival
camps, the situation nt Zelgler Is one
of the most peculiar In the history of
recent labor disagreements.
It la stated by disinterested persons
living near Zelgler that firing has been
heard nearly every night for several
weeks In the vlrlnlty of the stonkado
surrounding Zelgler, and from the
pump house, located at some distance
from the town.
Afler a thorough Investigation. how-
■ver, staff correspondent* of 8t. Louis
newspapers declare that they have
been unable to find any marks of bul-
lets either on the stockade or at the
pump house.
Reports sent out from surrounding
towns that miners and strikers huve
been wounded have proved upon In-
vestigation to have been unfounded.
From the latest reports there are
about twenty-five miners encamped
about four miles from Zelgler, In the
town there are about eighty miners,
elghty-flvn militiamen and forty deputy
marshals. Including both state and
federal officers.
Although generally termed "strik-
ers.” officials of the union authorized
to speak for the men. declare they are
not on a strike. They, say Mr. Letter
offered a wage scale to which they
could not agree and so they quit the
mines. They also deny all knowledge
of attacks on the town of Zelgler, and
whllo admitting that they have at-
tempted to persuade the miners to
leave the employ of I-elter. they dc-
clar that no vioince has been used.
Zelgler, 111., Dee. 3.--Two distinct
attacks have been made on the Cor
don blockhouse situated half way be-
tween the pumping station and the ad
ministration building of the real com
puny. One attack was at 7 o’clock
and the second was begun at 10:25
o’clock and at 11 o’clock tonight was
still on.
Brisk firing from the outside is an
swered by soldiers and rapid fire guns.
Deputies are scouring Zelgler for a
suspicious character who Is thought to
have made an attempt to assassinate
Superintendents Whittier and Jones.

Pleases Without

This Was Done Through Hotel

SHE WILL SETTLE IN FULL
Now York, Dec. 3.—"There is abso-
lutely nothing to prevent Mrs. Cassio
L. Chadwick from leaving tue Holland
house with her baggage if she sees
fit," said Philip Carpenter, counsel for
Mrs. Chadwick, tonight when asked
attachment had been served on all
attachment had bee nservod on all
Iter baggage and personal belongings
at the Holland house today to satisfy
a claim of $1,357 which a Fifth avenue
modiste had against her.
"Papers were served on the mana-
ger of the hotel and not on my client
personally, and that fact renders tho
service null and void.” continued Mr.
Carpenter.
"As a matter of fact, Mrs. Chadwick
has no Intention of leaving Now York
for a few days, but there would he
no legal objection If she saw fit, ac-
cording to mv view of the law."
Mr. Carpenter Is of the opinion that
the appoolntment of a receiver in
Cleveland will not complicate matters
unnecessarily. ' • ■
"it must he borne In mind,’1 hs said,
"that there Is a great difference be-
tween voluntary and Involantary
bankruptcy."
Nathan Ixtewser, who was appoint-
ed receiver tn Cleveland yesterday,
said today that as It would he neces-
sary to bring an action in the court to
gain possession of Mrs. Chadwick's
property, he undoubtedly would defer
action for a time, and that before tak-
ing further steps he would confer with
Mrs. Chadwick's counsel.
Attorneys representing her In New
York have not yet had any communi-
cation with Mr. Loewser, who Is In
the Ohio city. '
A gentleman who Is fully conver-
sant with Mrs. Chadwick’s affairs,
said tonight that by the time the bank-
ruptcy matter came up to the atten-
tion of the court, the claims of Mrs.
Chadwick would be settled, rendering
further action by the courts unneces-
sary. He said that the turn of affairs
In Cleveland would not effect tho set-
tlement of the claim of Herbert I).
Newton of Brookline. Mass., whose
suit against Mrs. Chadwick was first
filed. ,
The Informant of the Associated
Press said that tills claim had been
adjusted to the satisfaction of both
sides and that a formal money trans-
fer would ho made In a few days.
Lawyer George Ryall. Mr. Newton's
New York counsel, said that the ap-
nearance of Mr. Carver, Mr. Newton's
Boston counsel, here today was quite
without slguffinance.
Mr. Carver tonight said that he
would remain In Now York until Mon-
day. and added that he was satisfied
with the way In which the matters
of his client were progressing.
The story was published in an even-
ing paper to the effect that soveral
detectives alleged to he in the employ
of New York millionaires whose
names have been mentioned in con-
nection with the Chadwick case, were
shadowing Mrs. Chadwick. According
to this rumor, two detectives are in
the Holland house in the guise of
pa!runs, while others are watching
exits and lounging about the corri-
dors. The hotel management is quite
unaware of the alleged presence of
detectives and It has been Impossible
to confirm the story.
An interesting feature of the caso
today was tho optimistic view taken
by Mrs. Chadwick's counsel. Philip
,Carpenter stated emphatically that his
client is a very wealthy woman and
amply able to meet anv just account
against her. Judge Albaugh of Can-
ton. who Is guarding the Chadwick In-
termits In Ohio, expressed confidence
In the belief that she "would come out
all right In the end."
