Stiiil RU88IANVIGT0RY CLAIM MADE THAT JAPANESE VSSSELS HAVE BEEN SUNK. REPORTS, HOWEVEB, CONFLICT Rumors of Victory Spread Far and Wide Over St. Petersburg andCause Much Excitement A Japanese Ruse Which the Russians Overcome. ST. PETHRSIlUItO. Kpports of a KliBslnii victory at Port Arthur wore current lato Wednesday afternoon and early in the evening, ami about mid night thoy Hecnietl to have been defin itely confirmed but in the absence of an olllclnl announcement, which 1b momentarily expected, the Htorics of the dlniciiHlons of this victory wore most conflicting and confusing In character. Tho most circumstantial report wan that tho Japanese, had at tempted to bottle up Admiral Stark's fleet In Port Arthur by sinking two stono-latlon Vessels r.t tho entrance of tho harbor, employing the tactics which wero considered, but not ex ocutcd by the late Admiral Sampson, United States navy, with the Mcr rlmac at Santiago during the Spanish-American war. According to this account two Japanese ships appoared oft tho harbor with a Japanese fleet behind them and ostensibly In pur suit. Tho Itusslans, however, suspect ed a ruse and their ships steamed out sank the stono laden vessels, engaged and defeated tho enemy and drove them off. Tho reports of the Iosb in flicted, however, are conflicting. All tho stories Include tho feature of tho vessels loaded with stones, but according to some versions the Japan ese lleet was convoying transports with tho purpose of effecting a land ing at Pigeon bay, and after tho fail ure of this preliminary maneuver, the Kusinns played havoc with both the Japanese warships and the transports, sinking four of the former nnd two of the latter. One account even gives tho namo of the battleship Itctvl.en as the vessel which particularly distinguished her self by ramming and sinking one of the Jupaneso ships. Rumors of this victory spread far and wide over the city during the early part of the evening and tho crowds which had gathered in the stictits In spite of the severe cold to discuss the news Wero greatly ex cited. One newspaper printed nn ex tra relating tho victory, based on a meager telegram from London, but ns the night wore on without olllclnl In formation, tho crowds dispersed ex cept from nrotind the newspaper of fices. These remained thronge'd with olllcers and others who were lesolvetl to await the official announcement. LONDON A dispatch to the Cen tral News from St. Petesrburg gives another version of the lopoited Japan ese tlefeat at Port Arthur, according to which the Japanese plnnnetl to sink some barges In the strait leading to tho Inner harbor of Port Arthur, thus blocking the exit. Tho Russian gun lire snnk the barges before they ar rived at the intended spot. WANT TO FIGHT FOR JAPAN. Former Rough Riders Anxious to See Service. SIOl'X FALLS. S. D.

Most of the letters arc from toruier members of Grlgsby's Rough Rldeis, a regiment which was formed during the Spanish American war, who wish to see active service timing tho war In the far east. Colonel Grlghby has w.rltten horo to the effect, thnt tho report Is unfound ed, and has Instructed his son, Sioux Grigsby, who Is In charge of tho Urlgsby law office in this city during tho absence of tho colonel In the na tional capital, to write such of the applicants n letter, stating that the report of bis intended action la un founded, that the lnws of Japan for bid the enlistment of torelgncrs In the Japanese army, ami that no good cltl ?en will violate the neutrality laws of the United States.

NEW YORK Ratification of the Panama treaty ro3ullctl In the im mediate recall of the United States warships and about one-half of the marines from tlio isthmus, says a. Herald dispatch from Panama. Tho Mnrblohoad, Petrol, Wyoming and two torpedo boatn will icmaln on the Pacific side. Tho New York, Boston and Bcnninston will proceed o Cat lao. On the Atlantic sldo all the war ships except two will proceed north fifty marines tinder Major Cole will leave on Tuesdny for Guantanamo. The belief is that they will proceed later to San Domingo. Despite Colombia's Internal disturb ances, letters just received from there declare that the Colombians aro ready to fight as soon ns tho news arrives that the treaty has been rati fied. One general nt Cartagena is quoted as saying that If tho govern ment docs not declare war the troops on the border will Invade Panama anyhow. Tho Information from the coast h that another regiment has been sent from Cntragena to the frontier. Halt of tho 4,000 soldiers sont out to Titu mati havo been moved up the Daricu coast toward Panama. It Is known now that Inanqualna, tho -San Bias cbf, lias visited Titu mati three or four times. American ofllcers have given him notice that tho big canoes he hns collected near tho frontier, If used to transport Colom bian troops, will be sunk. lie prom ised to remain neutral and said ho wished peace. On account of the feeling of the Indians the Panama government has displaced Inanqualna as principal chief and has named Henry Clay, whose headqiiartes are at the mouth of tho Rio Diablo, to bo governor gen eral with a commission in the army. The San Bias are very friendly to the Americans. If the Colombians carry out tho threat to attack they cannot reach the railroad section ns fast as vessels can be sont from tho United States after news of tho advance arrives. Tho presidential election in Colom bia is still undecided, according to a Herald dispatch from Bogota. Gen eral Ilcyes still has a small majority antl It 'is generally believed the elec toral college will declare him presi dent on July 5. with General Gon zales Valencia vice president. STORY OF THE FIGHTING. What Viceroy Alexleff Says of The Recent Naval Engagement. ST. PETERSBURG. A telegram from Viceroy Alexleff to tho czar snys: "At 2: 45 o'clock on the morning of February 21, numerous Japanese tor petlo boats nttempted to attack tho battleship Rctvi.an. There were sev eral laige steamers loaded with in flammables. The Retvlzan was the first to observe tho torpedo boats antl opened a strong lire on them. Sha was supported by the land batteries She destroyed two steamers near tho entrance of tho harbor; they were coming directly toward her. One of them went on tho rocks near tho lighthouse on Tiger peninsula, and tho other sank under Golden Hill. The Retvlzan observed four steamers in a sinking condition and eight torpedo boats departing slowly to rejoin tho waiting Japanese warships. A por tion of the crews of the Japanese ves sels was drowned. The grounded steamer Is still burning Tho enemy Is observed In tho offing of Port Ar thur In two lines, "Tho Japanese crews saved them selves on bonis, and It is possible that somo of them were picked up by tho enemy's torpedo boats. "lam proceeding to examlno tho coasts. The entrance of the harbor Is open. I attribute tlio complete de rangement of tho enemy's plan to tho brilliant action and destructlveucss of the Rctvban. "Floating mines are still visible in tho roadstead. I have recalled the three cruisers sent in pursuit of the onemy In order, in the first place, to clear tho roadstead of floating mines. We have no losses." Military Observers in Far East. WASHINGTON.

Tliis li jTvery-ckly climate, on the Bayou Bar tholomew, near the Arkansas River, 'rr.5, particularly malarious and miasmatic; we meet with many and various abhbT rnftl c&nji?i,ons M j human family, prominent among the cases in which I have bS0," cica upon to prescribe is kidney disease. Many of these disorders rn'a"nifer-.,i themselves by pains in the back, often extending to other parts of the body; sometimes headache is present, caused by uraimic or chronic uric acid poisoning, soreness in region of kidneys, cloudy, thickened and foul-smelling urine, discharges of pus or corruption; inflammation of the kidnos, extending to the bladder, is caused by excess of uric acid and decomposition of the urine. Hcinoi rhage is sometimes met with, caused by high state of inflammation or congestion. There is no class of diseases a doctor is called oftener to treat than the variety of kidney diseases, in many of which the patient will have chills or rigors, followed by fever, a result of the kidneys failing to elim inate the uric acid poison from the system. Such cases require the kid neys restored to their natural functions., then the poison and foreign sub stances are removed shock to the nervous system averted, and natural health restored. ' h' I have, for some time, been using Doan's Kidney Pills in these many manifestations and witli uniform success, curing most cases. I can further sav that even in hopeless cases where they have waited too long, Doan's Kidney Pills afford much relief and prolong life. I can recom mend the pills in conditions of excessive or deficient secretion of urine, as also in convalescence from swamp-fever and malarial attacks, aa verified by the following cases in my practice.

These are a few of the typical cases in which I have used Doan's Kid-1 hey PillSi In a great many instances I use them alone with curative results, while with some others indicated remedies are associated.
