Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The
Washington correspondent of the
Inter Ocean telegraphs the fol-
lowing ::
"a fleet of, seven Russian war
ships is reported to have been in
Manila Bay. Officials of the War
Department refused to confirm the
report. 1t was given to me by a.
friend of TAFT, who also is in the
confidence OF the President.
"The battleship Oslabya, 1904
tons: the armored cruiser Dmitrl
Donskoi, 5So3 tons; the commerce
destroyer Aurora. 636o tons, and
four torpedo boat destroyers
passed through Suez canal some
weeks ago after the passage OF the
warships purchased by Japan from
Argentina, built in Italy. These
Russian ships have been supposed
to be somewhere in the Indian
Ocean, but by last sailing they
could have reached the Philip
pines.
'sIhe War Department will not
confirm the report. 1t IS possible
that the administration, following
its policy OF trying to restrict the
theater OF war, prefers to have the
ships leave before Japan learns OF
it and brings on a naval battle in
Philippine waters.

Vice Admiral Bayle, comnan-

the Navy Department saying. that
on the request of the French Min
listers at Seoul and Toxic the
cruiser Gueydon will stop at Che
mulpo and take ON board the Rus
sian marines who were received on

PARIS, Feb. I3.-The danger

rate in Indo-China.
The treaty secures substantial
territorial and economic advan-

TOXIC, Feb. I3.-It is re-

not vet officially confirmed, that
three of the four ships of the
Vladivostok squadron which was
cruising off the coast of Yezo
have been sunk by torpedoes.
While news of further engage
ments at sea are hourly expected it
is not believed that any encounter
on land will take,place for some

LONDON, Feb. IA report
originating with a Japanese firm
having correspondents in Toxic
was circulated in London tonight
to the effect that tthree Russian
cruisers, presumably the Vladi-
vostok squadron, had been torpe-
doed in the straits of Tsugaro yes
terday.
The japanese legation has
heard nothing conhrmatory of this
report, though it has come to it
from several sources. The lega-
tion's officials received the report
with reserve, it being considered
too good to be true"
j The japanese have strong
naval base at Kotomari, at the
northern end of Nippon, and on
the south side of the straits, and
it IS considered possible, should

The Desperate valor of the Opposing Forces.

The following dispatch from st. Petersburg last
Friday presents a rather vivid picture of the
struggle:
"The fighting at Lao Yang has beaten all rec
ords for desperate valor of the assailants and
the individual stubbornness of defenders. The
whole history of warfare tells of no such lombard
ments, no such carnage and no such persistency.
Day after day the fight has been resumed at day
break and kept up with hardly a moment inter-
mission until after niphtfall. War-scarred vet
Grams scarce believe the stories which come from
the seat of war and declare it is beyond human
endurance for an army to fight without respite
for a whole week, each day of which has exceeded
it's predecessor in the intensity of the struggle.
Day after day the thousands of dead bestrewing
the battlefield have to be removed. The Japanese
have invented new methods to incinerate the heaps
of dead comrades, removing the ashes for the hon
os of burial in Japan. The wounded present a
most serious problem as they tax the transport
capacity on both sides to the uttermost. The
most difficult problem, however, is the bringing I'D
OF supplies of food and ammunition to eyerv
point of the fighting line, which extends from fen
to twenty miles. Never has such a bombardment
been known. An eyewitness of the battle of
Vafangow told the Associated Press corresnond-
ent that many officers suffered nervous prostra-
ton owing to tn" terrible roar of the artillery and
one military attache had to be taken home for
the same reason Yet the artillery fire at Vafan-

CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OE THINGS AS
Is WE SEE IT.
WE SEE 1T.

We who lived through last week lived through a
history-making period; day after day our news
papers brought us news of a battle which will be
read about through generations yet unborn. For
the struggle between japanese and Russians at
Lao Yang cannot fail to become historic. Prac-
tically a half million men. it is said, were engaged
in the terrible conflict, while at Waterloo the com
bined forces numbered only 2O9, 900, and at Gets
burg only $4,000.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-09-06
The Fateful Struggle at Lao Yang.

For quite. awhile it has been expected that at
Lao Yang-about 400 miles north of Port Arthur
the most momentous battle of the war would be
fought. To this point the Russians had been
forced by the advancing japanese armies from
three points of the compass; and here, encircled
with b~ristling Notifications for fifteen miles about
him, and with most of Kuropatkin's stores and
supplies to fall back upon, the Russian paused and
awaited confidently the attack of the yellow man.
And not long did he wait. After fighting in the
vicinity for nearly "a week, the Japanese forces
last Tuesday found themselves near enough to be-
gin the real attack on the Russian garrison.
"Tike the great Northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Came down the serried foe"
And then began the battle of the ~giants-2OO,OO0
Russians pitted against 100000 Japanese. No
form of land fighting is there that did not here
play its part. There was cannonading at long
range, shaking the earth and sickening the men
with its deafening crashes; then infantry and
cavalry charges with the two armies facing each
other in battle array-the dead and the dying
borne off by hundreds-and lastly, the hand-to-
hand conflicts, when, with bayonets as weapons.
individual japanese struggled with individual
Russians, the lives of the duelists trembling in
the balance.
