THOUGHT kIN-CHOU
A HARD NUT. TO CRACK.

st. Petersburg, May 26.-The general
staff is not in a position tonight to
confirm or deny the Toxic report that
the Japanese have occupied Kin-Chou.
The latest official information regard
ing fighting in that vicinity was con-
veyed in Gen. Kuropatkin's telegram,
which said that the Japanese had lost
700 on May 49, This agrees with infor-
nation contained in the Associated
Press dispatches of May %, Gen, Ku-
ropatkin apparently accepting the re-
port from the same Chinese source.
1t would be a great surprise to the
authorities here if the report of the
capture of Kin-Chou should prove to be
true. The impression heretofore enter
tanned is that Kin-Chou would prove
hard nut for the Japanese ito crack,
and that its reduction would need a siege
train and call for careful approaches
which would occupy the enemy for a
long time.
The opinion of the best authorities is
that if the Japanese rushed Kin-Chou
by a frontal attack, unsupported by
heavy guns, which it is not believed
they possess, the capture of the place
must have been effected at a tremen-
dous loss to the attackers.

THE VlSCOUNT D'0YLEY
GOT INTO TROUBLE.
Mixed Up With a Fair Peruvian and
Shot Himself

Paris. Nav 26.-Yvon Evans. known
as Viscount D'Oyley and a son of an
American dentist, DR.. John Evans, died
to-day at a private sanitarium as the
result OF a bullet wound received un-
der mysterious circumstances. The
family is prominent here, DIR. John
Evans being a nephew of the famous
DR.. Thomas Evans. who assisted EN-
press Eugene in her fight from Paris
after the Franco-Prussian war.
Dr. John Evans, who came from Bal
timore. received the title of the Mar
quis D'Oyley from the Pope, his olde'
son, assuming the title of Count D'Oy-
ley and the younger that of Viscount
D'Oyley, by which titles they were gen.
orally known.
The younger son. who was "a years
old, recently became enamorad of Nine.
Phucker, a Peruvian, who was sojourn-
ing at Vichy. Despite the protests OF
his family the Viscount and he Peru
Wan visited the Riviera together, re-
naming at Cannes for some time. DR..
Evans energetically protested against
his sons $ course, and finally cut off his
income. This brought the couple back
to Paris. where they arrived a week
ago. going to the Hotel DeRivoi.
At o'clock on Monday evening last,
a shot was heard in the chamber Of
the Viscount and when the proprietor
of the hotel reached the chamber he
/ found the Viscount on a bed with 2
wound in his left breast. Nine
Pfucker, who was in the room, said
that the Viscount had shot himself
and although weak from loss of blood
the wounded man seemed to confirm
this statement, saying that the shoot
ing occurred while he was handling
the weapon.
Nine. P1ucker was interrogated by
the police and later was given pro-
Visional liberty, but was told to hold
herself at the disposal of the authori-
ties. She bears out the theory of sui
eide by showing two letters which Vis-
count DOyley had addressed to the
authorities, stating that it was his in
tention to commit suicide owing to
family difficulties.

and sixteen were injured by the tre-

OF the thirty three persons aboard the

No explanation of the cause of the
accident has been offered. One theory
is that there may have been an ex-

ers.
The Wilson was built eighteen years
ago and was reconstructed in part last
year. She was valued at $4,000 and
was insured.
The Wilson was literally blown to
pieces and her hull sank in eighteen
feet Of water. Two heavy pieces of
her boiler were found almost 500 yards
from the bank, and her flag floats

DROVE RUSSIANS BACK
ON THE PENINSULA.

London, May 26, 1907 p. m.-The
correspondent of the Central News at
Toxic, cables that the Japanese at
tackled Nan Qwan Ling, on the mar
rowest part of the Kwang Tung penin-
sula, yesterday, and drove back the
Russians by main force.
The attack on Kin Chou, the dispatch
adds, was begun at dawn to-day and
by noon Kin Chou was in the hands
of the japanese, who occupied the cas-
tie. The fighting continued during the
afternoon and was of the most desper-
ate character 1t is believed the
casualties were heavy.
London, May 26 431 p. ma dis
patch to the Central News from Toxic
says the Japanese have stormed and
captured the town of Kin Chou, thirty
two miles north of Port Arthur.
In an earlier message, the Toxic cor
respondent of the Central News cabled
shat Japanese spies had ascertained
that the Russians had thirty guns at
Kin Chou and numerous mines and
wire entanglements at all the points
where a Japanese attack was expected.
The fighting is said to have occurred
to-day.
After the occupation of Kin Chou
the Russians retired in good order to
the nights further south, which were
attacked by the full Japanese force and
carried after a stubborn resistance.
London, May 27.-The Toxic cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, under
date Of May 26, says:
According to a reliable report the
Japanese occupied Kin Chou to-day"
London, May 27.-The Toxic CORE
spondent of the Daily Express says it
is reported unoficially that the Japan
ese have captured Kin Chou and are
now attacking Dalny.
London newspapers accepted the news
true. but as it seems to have orig
mated at Shanghai. it would seem ad-
Nlsable to regard it with reserve, pend
ing official confirmation.

the Daily Chronicle reports, is also sent
by the Daily Telegraph's New Chwang
