Reports of Sorties From and Attacks
on Port Arthur Arouse Inter-
est In St. Petersburg.
GENERAL STAFF MORE RETICENT,
ALL LOOKING FOR A Bic BATTLE.
The Cessation of Outpost Engage
ments Taken to Indicate That
Generals kuropatkin and kurOki
Are Preparing For a General
Battle.

st. Petersburg, June S.-The reports
Of sorties from and attacks On Port Ar
thur coming in from foreign sources
arouse the liveliest interest here. The
government, not having means of COM
munication with the fortress, accepts
them with reserve. The tension over
the situation at the theater Of wal is
manifestly increasing. The general
staff is becoming more reticent, and
he public is convinced that an i'm
portant battle which may decide the
fate of the campaign is impending. The
outpost engagements between the main
armies of Generals Kuropatkin and
Kuroki have suddenly ceased. Such a
lull frequently occurs after two armies
have been for some time in touch and
just before they are ready TO strike.
Kuroki has not yet moved, according
to the latest adviceS, but is drawing in
his Nskirmishers as il preparing to do
90. Developments on the lower part Of
the Lao 1ung peninsula may deter
mine when and where the two armies
will come into collision.
Kuropatkin Well Fortified.
Kuropatkin has deliberately fortified
his position at Lao Yang, in anticipa-
ton of a possible forward movement
on the part of Kuroki and the army
landed at Taku-Shan. But Kuroki's
failure to assume the aggressive and
the approach of the rainy season which
would stop operations, as we'll as the
pressure to impede Gen. Oku's army
may have been determining factors in
dispatching a force southwark, the
strength of which is as much a mys-
terry as ever. The Japanese apparently
are not averse to this advance, having
already withdrawn before it to below
Wafandian. If Kuroki should now
push in behind this force, across the
head Of the Lao Tung peninsula,
K~uropatkin. in the opinion of the mill
tary experts, with nothing to fear on
his flank, is certain to come down from
the north and a decisive battle might
occur in the neighborhooi of Hal
Cheng.

THE KILLING OF LEWIS ETHEL.
The Chinese Soldier Who Did 1t
Have Made Themselves Scarce.

The Chinese Soldiers Who Did 1t
Have Made Themselves Scarce.
New Chwang, June 8.-The funeral
of Lewis Etzel, correspondent Of the
London Daily Telegraph, took place
here Wednesday afternoon. He was
killed ten miles out to sea by some Chi
nese soldiers who were searching for
pirates. Immediately after realizing
the mistake they had made, these men
put out to sea and have not been seen
| since. United States Co1lsul-Gencral
Miller held an inquest at Shawantaitze,
at which the Chinese general, LII ac-
knowledged that Etzel was killed by
his soldiers.
Ernest Brindle, Of the London Daily
Mail, who was along with Etzel when
he was shot, testified that their junk
was unchallenged by the soldiers and
was fired on in spite of the fact that
the two foreigners were plainly visible
at a distance of less than 100 yards. At
least $50 shots were fired at the CORE
s~pondentis junk, which did no reply.
Consul-General Miller will forward
his report to United States Minister
Ccnger, at Pekin, showing gross care
l~essness upon the part of the soldiers,
to say the least. While Brindle is un-
communicative regarding the plans
which took himself and Ethel on the
sea y it has been learned that
they were attempting to reach Port Ar
thur. The Russian authorities are do
ing all in their power to assist the
American officials in the matter.

Montevallo, December 1.-(Specia1)-A distressing accident befell John Alex 'ander. the carrier for rural route No. l. yesterday as he was on his homeward trip. Near Elliottsville, eight miles from here, his horse became frightened and began to turn the buggy around in a circle. Mir. Alexander was afraid the buggy would turn over with him and tried to jump. He fell to the ground and frac- tured his leg just above the ankle. One bone is broken and the other disloeated Dr. Walker of Elliottsville was hastily summoned and set the leg. Later on MT. Alexander was placed on @ mattress In wagon and brought to Montevallo He is resting easy today.
 The remains of little Edwin Acizer, Acker of Columbiana. and grandson of Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Acxer of Montevallo, were brought here for interment yester- day.
