MANY LIVES ARE LOST
RUMoRs OF TERRIFIC ENGAGE.
MENT IN FAR EAST.
Japanese Said to Have Lost Ten Thou
sand Men, While the Russian Loss
Was Seven Thousand

A rumor is current in St. Petersburg
that second battle has been fought
at Kiu Lien Cheng, in which the Rus.
sian loss was 1000, the Japanese loss
10000 men, and which resulted in the
Japanese being driven back in disor-
der. No confirmation of this report is
obtainable up to the present time.
There are persistent rumors in st.
Petersburg of naval engagement be-
tween the Vladivostok and Vice Ad-
miral Kamimura's squadrons. There
are also rumors. which cannot be
traced to a responsible source, that the
Russian troops in northwestern Korea
have swooped down upon the Japanese
below the Yalu river, winning a big
victory.
It Is officially announced at Toxic
that Japanese force began landing
on the Lao Tung peninsula on the 9Th.
The place where the landing is occur

The equanimity of the government
is shown by the free publication of all
news kilograms from abroad, some
being of most sensational character.
At the general staff the one dominant
idea is that the developments of the
last few days make 1t certain that the
war will be bitter and long.
The real truth seems to be that
General Kuropatkin has not much

TEN of the United States furnished a
subject of a sensational debate in the
Methodist general conference at Los
Angeles, Monday. While there was a
strong disposition on the part of GER

there was an overwhelming sentiment,

The end of the first week of the
thirty first general conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal church at Los
Angeles sees much Of the preliminary
matter and details disposed OF and the
great gathering nearly ready to take
up the more important work before 1t.
All of the standing committees have
been organized, many of them have
appointed their subcommittee and
mapped out the work assigned to their
special attention.
In the initial sessions of the leading
committees one question above all
others has been brought prominently
to the fore. 1t is the question Of
whether the present conference shall
restore the ministerial time limit CT
three or FIVE years or permit the pres
ent plan of unlimited tenure, which
was adopted at the general conference
four years ago, to continue.

RUSSIANS PREPARING TO
EvAcUATE NEW CHUAN0.
Forts Have Been Dlsmantled and Ar

FortS rave been DIsUdHtleu ana Nr-
tlllers Made Ready for Shipment.
Advioes from New Chuang, under
date OF April 7, say there is every In
dication that the Russians have de-
cided to evacuate New Chuang. Troops
have been leaving here all day long.
The forts have been dlsmantled and
all the artillery has been placed on
board trains. All the local transpor
tation has been commandered by the
Russian authorities.
There Is current native rumor
that Japanese transports are In Foo
chau bay ION the west side OF the
Laio Tung peninsula, and about sixty
miles north of Port Arthur, but this
report lacks confirmation.
The fear is held here that IL the
Russians leave and the Japanese do
not at once take possession of New
Chuang the brigands, who are now
across the river near Yingkow, will
pillage the place. The foreign resi-
dents are prepared to resist the bri-
gands should they come over. The
British consul has requested that a
gunboat be sent to New Chuang.
The Russians probably will destroy
the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving.
The vessel Is at New Chuang.
Passengers arriving at Chefoo on
the steamer Petrarch from New Chu-
ang say that when they left New
Chuang the Russians had commenced
to evacuate. Some guns had been
taken from the forts and many troops
had already gone. In other respects
New Chuang was quiet. The passen-
gers understood before their depar-
ture that the Japanese had cut the

Officers In Encounter With Japanese.
The Russian losses at the battle OF
Kin Lien Cheng were 1000 men and
forty officers-far greater than pre-
viously reported, says st. Peters
burg dispatch. This is the official es.
innate of Major General Kashtalin-
sky. who directly commanded the d.
vision that suffered the brunt Of the
attack, and whose report was re-
ceived Wednesday by the emperor,
Many are inclined to place the Rus.
sian losses even higher. General
Kashtalinsky mentions also that more
than 700 wounded had arrived at
Feng Wang Cheng and these may not
be included in his calculations. He
made no attempt to estimate the
Japanese losses, merely stating that
they must have been colossal.
The magnitude Of the Russian
losses had an almost stunning effect
on the authorities and aroused gen
eral grief, mltigated only by satisfac-
ton at the bravery displayed by the
Russian troops.

Japanese troops swarming across the

conditions which the Russians seem
to accept with great stoicism. These
events have been anticipated since the
outbreak OF the war. and the authori-
ties appear to be relieved now that the
blow has fallen. They assert that the
fortress is impregnable and amply pro
visioned to stand a siege for year.
