TOKIO Vice Admiral Togo has re
ported ns follows:
"A report from Rear Admiral Down
says that the cruisers Kasuga and Yo
shlno collided In a fog off Port Arthur
on May 15.
"Tho Yoshlno sank, only ninety of
her crew being saved.
"On tho same day. tho battleship
Hatsuso stuick a Russian mine and
sank."
Giving tho details of tho disaster,
Vico Admiral Togo says:
"Tho samo morning tho HatBUse,
while cruising off Port Arthur, cov
ering tho landing of tho soldiers,
struck a mine ten knots southeast of
tho harbor entrance. She signaled
for help and instantly struck another
mine. She sank In half an hour.
Threo hundred of her crow were saved
by torpedo boats."

Dalny havo reported to tho Russl.-.n
consul that tho Japancso first-class
battleship Shlkl3hlma sank in two
minutes after contact with tho sub
marine mine, and that thcro was no
tlmo to savo tho crew.
The accident happened, It Is said,
within Bight of Port Arthur.
Tho first-class battleship Fuji, not
tho cruiser Asnma, which struck tho
mine- on the port bow, had a heavy
list and was also down by tho bow,
but was righted nnd went off in tow
of tho other cruisers. It Is thought
Impossible, however, that sho could

JAP VESSEL SUNK.
Dispatch Beat Mlyako Destroyed by
Mine.
TOKIO Tho Japanese dispatch boat
Mlyako was destroyed In Kerr bay by
striking a submerged mine. Eight
casualties aro reported.
Tho Mlyako was lost while assist
ing in tho operations of clearing tho
Russian mines from Kerr bay, north
east of Tallenwan bay, on which Port
Dalny is situated. Admiral Kataoka,
commander of tho third squadron, re
turned thero Sunday with a detach
ment of his squadron, protecting two
flotllas of torpedo boats which had
ben detailed' to comploto sweeping the
bar or by tho removal of tho mines.
Flvo mines wero discovered and ex
ploded and tho work was being sus
pended for tho day when tho Mlyako
struck an undiscovered mine, which
exploded with tremendous force under
its stern on tho port hide and Inflicted
Immenso aamage. Tho Mlyako sunk
In twenty-two minutes. Two sailors
were killed and twenty-two men wero
wounded. Tho rest of tho crew were
rescued.
Tho nows of tho loss of tho Mlyako
has been sorrowfully received In To
klo. Tho dangerous character of the
work In which the Mlyako was en
gaged Is generally appreciated, but It
was thougnt that tho loss of torpedo
boat No. 4S under similar circum
stances last Thursday would servo as
a warning to thoso engaged In the
work to exercise the greatest care.
Admiral Kataoka reports that the
Russians withdrew from Robinson
Voint, northeast of Kerr bay, which
adjoins Tallenwan bay, Mny 12, but
they erected a temporary fort on a
height northeast of Taku mountan,
where they mounted six guns and
constructed protecting trenches. Tho
vessels of Admiral Kataoka's squad
ron shelled tho Russians throughout
Sunday, but tho latter stubbornly re
tained their position.
Tho Japaneso flotillas, while sweep
ing tho bay, were exposed to the Rus
sian flro all day, but continued their
work uninjured.
When the Japanese torpedo boat
No. 48 was destroyed May 21 in Kerr
bay while removing Russian mines
seven men were killed and seven were
wounded. The No. 48 was tho first
warship lost by Japan during the war
with Russia, The Mlyako was ono of
tho warships which took part In the op
erations at Kerr bay, Tallnwan bay
nnd Blackney (or Deep bay) the day
No. 48 was destroyed.
Tho Mlyako was a steel cruiser of
1,800 tons displacement, 0,380 Indicat
ed horso power, completed in 1901 nnd
having an estimated speed of twenty
knots. It was 314 feet long, had
thirty-six feet beam and drew 13'4
feet of water. Its armament consist
ed of two 4.7-Inch quick-firing guns
and ten 1.8-Inch guns and four torpedo
tubes.
PORT ARTHUR TO BE STORMED.
Japs Have Concluded They Must Take
the Stronghold.
CHICAGO. A special to the Dally
News from Toklo savs:
Port Arthur Is to be taken by storm
tho moment proper preparations have
been completed. Siege guns have yet
to be placed in position and tho land
forces appointed for the assault havo
to bo strengthened. The unexpected
loss of two fine vessels have empha
sized tho Insecurity of son power and
tho authorities feel that no chances
must bo taken that would encourage
Russia to send out the Baltic sea fleet,
counting on finding a harbor of refuge
in Port Arthur.
It is realized that the storming of
tho fortress will inevitably cost many
lives, but it Is said that the waters
where tho Japaneso ships aro forced
to maneuver are becoming so dan
gerous because of floating mines that
heroic measures nro imperative. Un
der these circumstances it is thought
that life will be economized by storm
ing the stronghold and eliminating it
and the ndjacept waters from the area
of actual conflict.
NEBRASKA CROP BULLETIN.
Week Good One for Work, but Not
for Vegetation.
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA,
Lincoln. Cold, generally dry week;
good' for work, but not for tho growth
of vegetation. Tho mean dally tem
perature averaged 3 degrees below
nomal. Frost occurred in nearly all
parts of tho state on elthor tho 12th,
13th or 14th and generally on two
of the dates. On the 14th tho mini
mum temperature was generally near
32 degrees, and In several central
and western counties was between
28 degrees and 30 degrees.
The rainfall was confined to light
showers on tho 12th, and tho last days
of the week. Tho total weekly
amount was loss than one-half Inch,
except in the southeastern counties,
where tho wet condition of tho soil
has caused continued delay. In cen
tral and northern counties many for
mers havo finished planting. Early
planted corn is coming up, but low
temperature has prevented quick ger
mination and rapid growth.

A Farmer Found It.
Mount Pleasant, Utah, May 23. To
find a medicine that will cure every
ailment due to diseased or disordered
Kidneys has been tho aim of many
physicians and chemists.
Mr. C. E. Peterson, a farmer of this;
place says ho has found such a rem
edy and that he has tried It with suc
cess in his own case. Mr. Peterson,
says the remedy is Dodd's Kidney
Pills, a medicine introduced here
Lbout seven months ago.
"I am glad to bo allowed to testify
to what good things Dodd's Kidney
Pills havo done for me. I used this
remedy for Kidney trouble and it
cured mo completely.
"I can heartily recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills to all who suffer with
any kind of Kidney trouble."
Mr. Peterson's caso Is only one of
many Just as convincing that have
been reported recently. This now rem
edy seems to have conquered Rheu
matism completely, not a slnglo case
having been reported where Dodd's
Kidney Pills have failed to cure per
fectly and permanently.

Thero was a rather lino bit of senti

an actor named Maurice PIko was
dragged before a New York magistrate
charged with vagrancy. The poor old
fellow Is 65 years of ago, and ho told
the judge that he had often appeared
in the support of Edwin Booth. It
happened that the Judge, who Is him
self an old man, remembered tho ac
tor, and ho asked him if ho did not
play Casslo to Booth's Othello in tho
year 1872. Poor old Maurice Pike sat
isfied tho court that ho was tho guilty
party, and tho magistrate refused to
pass a sentence. In fact, he told tho
old actor that ho would see that ho
was provided for until the time when
he could communicate with the Actors

WHAT THE KING EATS.
What's Fit for Him.
A Mass. lady who has been through
the mill with tho trials of tho usual
housekeeper and mother relates un
Interesting Incident that occurred not
long ago. She says:
"I can with all truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is tho most beneficial ot
all cereal foods In my family, young
as well as old. It is food and medi
cine both to us. A few mornings ago
at breakfast my llttlo boy said: '
" 'Mamma, does tho King eat Grapo
Nuts every morning?'
"I smiled and told him I did not
know, but that I thought Grape-Nuts
certainly mado a delicious dish, fit for
a King." (It's a fact that the King of
England and tho German Emperor
both eat Grape-Nuts.)
"I find thnt by the constant use of
Grape-Nuts not only as a morning ce
real but also In puddings, salads, etc.,
made after tho dollclous recipes found
in the llttlo hook in each package it
is proving to bo a groat nerve food
for mo besides having completely
cured a long standing case of Indiges
tion." Name given by Postum Co..
Battle Creek, Mich.
There Is no doubt Grape-Nuts Is tho
most scientific food in the world.
Ten days'- trial of this proper food
in place of improper food will show In
steady, stronger nerves, sharper brain
and the power to "go'' longer and
further and accomplish more. There's
a reason.
