ARTHUR CONFIRMS NEWS
PAPER REPORTS.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 10.-The fol-
lowing dispatch from Viceroy Alexieff,
dated Aug. Z; has been received by the
car:
General Stoessel reports as fol-
lows:
AT S in the morning of July u the
enemy, having advanced Strong
force, their artillery opened fire alone
their whole front, followed by series
OF attacks, one OF which, directed
against lupilaza mountain, was es-
peclally vigorous.
AT about IN the evening the en-
envy were everywhere repulsed with
enormous losses. l renamed in the
advanced positions we have held tor
two Gays against an army very much
stronger than ours.
AT In the evening of July 80
about five DIVISIONS OF Japanese took
the offensive against our position on
the Wolf hills. In view OF the enor-
nous superiority OF the enemys forces
and the weakness OF the position our
troops were ordered to retire to the
next position without fighting. The
movement was effected in complete
order under the protection of artillery.
which, by accurate fire at short range,
completely stopped the Japanese ad-
vance.
"Our losses have not yet been as
certained, but they were not great.
The losses of the Japanese were very
considerable. In the engagements of
July 26 and u the Japanese had about
10000 men and considerable number
Of siege guns.
The morale of the Russian troops
is excellent and their health good"

REFUGEES REACH cHEFOo.
BRING No Confirmation Of Reported
Jap Naval Disaster.

Chefoo, Aug. 10.-During the last
twenty-four hours, 200 Chinese and
fifteen Russian refugees have arrived
here from Port Arthur. They almost
all left there on Aug. 8. 1t has been
impossible to obtain confirmation OF
the report of the sinking of Port Ar
thur of q Japanese cruiser, but that
this occurred is not denied, as the ves-
sci is said to have sunk in a place
where mines have recently been laid.
Two French newspaper correspond
ents who attempted to reach Port Ar
thur by junk saw the Japanese fleet
on Aug. 6. They heard nothing Of the
alleged sinking of Japanese cruiser.
They counted twenty-four vessels of
the Japanese feet ranged in double
semi-circle in front of the harbor.
The refugees report that the Rus
sian cruiser Bayan was struck by q
fragment from one Of the mines,
which the Japanese constantly send in
toward the harbor entrance. The
Bayan bears 218 marks Of psojectiles
OF various sixes.

RIGHTS OF NEUTRAL COMMERCE.
United States and Great Britain in
Absolute Accord.

United States and Great Britain in
Absolute Accord.
London, Aug. 10.-The Associated
Press learns that absolute accord ex-
lists between the United States and
Great Britain in respect to the rights
OF neutral commerce and when the
declaration of Secretary Hay was pub
lished the state department was ill.,
formed that it was in entire accord
with the attitude of Great Britain. In
order that Russia might understand
the similarity of the British and Amer
lean views Lord Lansdowne directed
the British ambassador at st. Peters
burg to protest against the Russian
definition of contraband along the
same lines as the declaration trans
mitted through Ambassador McCor-
mick. Great Britain would like the
United States to take steps to obtain
an international declaration defining
the rights of neutrals, but it is not
thought at the foreign Office here that
Secretary Hay will do so, It being un-
derstood there that he proposes to re-
tain complete liberty of action.
For all practical purposes accord
exists between the two governments

Report From Big Cannon at Port Ar.
thur Audible at Chefoo.
Chefoo, Aug. lO.-The firing of heavy
guns at intervals OF one minute has
been distinctly heard in the direction
of Port Arthur since 1920 p. m. Mon
day, the acoustic conditions of the at
mosphere being unusually favorable.
The firing continued to $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday morning. A junk which left
Port Arthur Aug. 6 reported that there
had been no hostile movements since
July % except exchanges between the
batteries. The Russian battleships
Pobieda, Retvizan, Poltava and Peres-
Wet fire occasionally, which probably
was what was heard Monday night.
An engineer who is familiar with
Port Arthur states that it will take
the Japanese four weeks to fortify the
captured hills and plant siege guns
which will require strong foundations
In the face of the Russian fire.

the latest phases of the Turkish situa-
ton. He recounted the details of his
interview with Chekib Bey, the Turk

American government. He explained
also the reasons which had actuated

ALLEGE SCALES ARE WRONG.
Eight Hundred Miners Quit Work for
That Reason,

Scranton, Pa, Aug. l0.-Eight hun
dred miners employed at the Old
Forge colliery of the Erie company
went on st:ike during the day. The
strikers claim that the scales with
which the mine cars are weighed are
incorrect and that they are deprived
of the credit for half a ton of coal for
each car. The miners asked that an
expert make an examination of the
scales. The company, they claim,
agreed to this, but before the inspec-
ton was finished the company coun-
fernandez the order.
The trouble at the Barnum colliery,
where 1000 men are on strike, it is
said, is of a similar character.

Constantinople. 1t is not deemed wise
by the secretary that the reasons for
this action should be disclosed entire
ly at this time. Fresh negotiations
with the porte have been instituted
and. in the event of their failure, it
may be that Minister Leishman may
leave his post and go aboard the
American flagship, thus creating sit
uation of some seriousness.

mostly from Chicago, are forming a

and utilizing for cattle grazing pur-
poses the great stretches of cut-over
lands in Northern Minnesota.
Thousands of acres of cut-over lands
are to be found in this section of the
state and as it has been stripped of
all marketable timber it is now prac.
tically valueless to the lumber com.
panies and others who own it. All OF
these tracts are thickly covered with
wild grass, while in many places
where logging was carried on more
extensively timber and clover is
found in abundance, making the finest
grazing lands to be found.

brothers, were in Co. Il, 10th Ohio. They
We're both sharpshooters. Fred was
wounded at Fort Gregg, and now lives
here, my neighbor, crippled old soldier.
Gen. Jones rode to the rail breastworks of
the rebels, near tree, and was directly i'm
front of Co. e. Henry Stephens was in
a tree, and he was told by Capt. VarIey,
or by Col. Washburn, to pick off that on
GER Henry took aim and fired, and the
officer fell off his horse, and then the 11Gth
charged. We found Gen. Jones's body
lying where he fell. He was shot dead,
a rifle ball through his side, in the locality
OF the heart-the bullet went through his
breast. We were certainly the first to sec
the body. Samuel Gates, OF Co. A, 116th
Ohio, still has button off Jones's pants.
Gates lives at Beallsville, o. The 18th
Ohio thanked the enemy; we charged on his
front, through an open field. Our regi-
ment lost ZIG, killed and wounded; the
loss to our army was heavy, and so was
the rebel loss, but they also lost 100 or
500 that we captured. Our regiment
formed and charged in IN open field under
fire. 1t was not over 10 minutes, think.
from the time we charged until it was
over and the victory was ours Coils.
