can be positively affirmed that the
rupture between France and the Vati-

It is not expected that the rupture

cry Move.
Ku-chia-tzu, Manchuria,, July 2s.-
delayed in transm1ssion)-Ag great
battle appears imminent.
The main bodies of the Russians
and Japanese are very near each 9TH
er. They now form, in the north,
more powerful array than at any pre-
vious time.
The Russians are holding Tien-shui-
tsan, Chiu-tsai-yan, Pien and Kuan-
CHA passes. The latter is three miles
east Of here.
From a point opposite Kuan-chia
pass the Japanese line extends south
and is apparently Of great strength
with trenches and breastworks. 1t
approaches within mile of Lien pass
and continues along the Chi river TO
Si-pen pass and thence to Hoi-yan
facing the -shui-tsan and Dang
tsu pass positions.
The entire eastern line Is an ideal
region for military operations
Immense columns Of troops are ira
versing the numerous valleys to rec
onnoitre the passes.
The first ascent Of a Russian mill
tary balloon occurred yesterday even
ing. The balloon was visible to the
entire Japanese army around Molten
pass.
Japanese continue to march across
the upper part Of the Tai-tse river,
towards Mukden by way Sef. Pen-si-hu,
protecting their left flank from Ku-
chia-tzu and Kuan-chia pass. The
Russians are making a demonstration
in large force before Pien pass and
also in front of Kuan-chia pass.
The Japanese, as this dispatch Is
filed, can plainly be seen taking uL
positions for the conflict. They are
apparently determined to fight and II

KILLED HIS BENEFACToR
Won Plehve Betrayed Foster Father
to Hangman Murayieff.

New York Sun Special Service.
London, July 3O.-Arnold White,
who became intimately acquainted
with Won Plehve in connection with
the Jewish question in Russia, gives
some interesting personal details con-
cerning the assassinated minister.
IN. Won Plehve," said Mr.. White,
Orphaned in his youth, was brought
up in the family Of Polish mag
nate. He presented himself before
Muravieff, who was known as the
hangman,' and denounced the man
who had brought him up as POLITICAL
ly untrustworthy and nursing revolu-
tionary plans. The magnate was
hanged. Thus Won Plehve began his
career.
During the ten years that Won
Plehve was minister Of the interior
| he became a finely tempered tool for
the purposes Of despotism. When he
was the Finnish secretary he helped
Bobrikoff the recently assassinated
governor, to crush the life out Of that
country. 7- --:..
"von Plehve was the enperor's
strong man. Before the execution
of the murderers of Alexander II, cap
ital punishment was not known to the
civil law in Russia, consequently the
! hanging Of the criminals was per-
formed by amateurs. The hanging OF
the assassins Of Alexander was. bun
| gled. The executioners were drunk
! Two Of the men had to be hanged
twice over. Won Plehve ordered that
the murderers be twice hanged and
the executioners fogged.
From that day to this van Plehve
never looked back. Whatever Office
he held, there always followed a pc
| riod Of relentless wholesale oppres
sion.
Between Pobedonostseff and VOL
Plehve, that system Of Jewish perse
cution was instituted which surpassed
in some respects the achievements O
Torquemada. Won Plehve was Pobe
donostseffs' instrument"

Chi-fu, July 80, 1 p.m.-A junk
which left Port Arthur last Thursday
at midnight reports terrific fighting
on land and sea which had been go
ing on for three days.
The highest Japanese authority
here says that the army and naval
commanders of the besieging forces
had planned to begin their final as
sault on Tuesday last and expected
to effect the capture by July 29 but
that no official reports were expected
from the army or from Admiral
Togo until the present attack results
in success or failure.
Japanese correspondents here are
now sending junks to the Miao-tao
islands, ready to enter the harbor at
Port Arthur Immediately after the
fall Of the fortress.
The Associated Press correspondent
learns from the same reliable author
ity that the movements Of the Russian
vladivostok squadron FASTENED the
present attack upon Port Arthur, the
Japanese authorities realizing that If
these vessels were allowed to proceed
unhampered any longer it meant the
division of Admiral Togo's fleet with
the outcoming Of the Russian ships
now cooped up by him at Port Ar
thur.
The most intense interest in the
Port Arthur squadron is taken mo-
only here, but in Shanghai and Ten
tsin. Many commercial concerns ir
these places are continually wiring
here for news.
In this city many wagers are being

RUSSIAN RIGHT ATTACKED
Japanese Deal Blow From q New
Point

Hai-cheng, Friday, July 29.-(De-
layed in transmission.)- 1.-The attack
on the right flank of the Russian
southern army developed at 7 o'clock
this morning. The battle was opened
with heavy artillery fire under cover
of which the Japanese infantry ad-
vanced along the railway until IL
o'clock, when their forward move
ment was checked. The fighting was
continued, according to last accounts,
but the result Is not known.
An attack on the right flank on
the Russians southern army would
have to be made either by a ew
army, probably landed at the port of
Niu-chuang and reported near there
in transports a few days ago, or else
by a portion of General Oku's army,
which may have moved across from
,Ta-tche-kiao to Niu-chuang, and from
there struck a blow on the Russian
right at Hai-cheng.
Niu-chuang, July SO.-Continuous
and heavy fighting Is heard from the
direction Of Hai-cheng.
General Oku has written a special
from Ta-tche-kiao, thanking United
States Consul General Miller for hav-
ing maintained order and protected
property here.
It is reported here that the Rus.
sian gunboat Sivoutch has been de.
stroyed at a point thirty miles UP the
