 The Movie Vremya this morning prints long letter. dated Vigo, Octo- Der 2S, and credited to a man of the Baltic squadron containing a remark able summary of events leading up to the firing on the British trawIers and the incidents of the night of October 21.

Tho letter says:
 The Japanese had torpedo boats in the Norwegian fjords and also Dur .. chased a number of fishing vessels at Hamburg, Hull. Southampton and Christiana. The Russians also pur- chased a number of fishers, small steam CTS for scouting duty.

BESIEGERS ARE CONFIDENT

Chefoo. Nov. 4.-(s:30 P. M)-Chi- nese who left Port Dalny yesterday evening report that patches of wound ed were passing through Dalny. They report also that during the recent bat tie fresh Japanese troops were con- stantly going to the front.
 It Is reported that the Japanese killed or wounded in front of Port Arthur during the last three months approximate forty thousand.
 There are persistent rumors that the Japanese have occupied the forts of Rfhiung mountain and certain forts of the Keekwan mountain group but we'll informed Japanese here consider these rumore are premature.
 The Japanese. however, are confi- dent that the end of the Russian oc. cupation of Port Arthur Is fast ap- proaching. They admit that they have been disappointed heretofore but say that their previous hopes never had such fact based foundation as those they at present entertain.
 The fact that General Nogi, com. mander of the third Japanese arm, before Port Arthur, has allowed tn, Associated Press dispatches to leav, the front of the base of his operationi is looked upon as strongly indicating the confident spirit of the besiegers Further tidings of events at Port Ar thur are awaited here with an inten sity of interest greater than any dis played since the beginning of the war

BLOODY BATTLE CERTAIN.
Robbers and Posses Sure to Have Dea
 pewate Fight


 Deer Ranch. Wyo.. Nov. 4.-Sheriff Slough of Fremont County and Sheriff Fenton and posse of Big Horn, arrived here shortly after sundown today hav- ing found the trail of the Cody bank robbers again and followed it into the very heart of the Bad Lands.
 They are not more than ten miles behind the outlaws. Reliable infor- nation has been received here that the bandits have taken refuge at the house of a sympathizer near the Hole in the Wall rendezvous and do not know that the officers have followed this far.
 Sheriff Fenton, who Is directing the movement against the desperadoes has asked for endorsements from Casper. 100 miles southwest of here Fenton and his men will do a little scouting tonight and tomorrow to see that the outlaws do not leave their hiding place before the endorsements arrive. Should the outlaws become alarmed and attempt to leave the country an effort will be made to intercept the bandits at the easern exit of the Hole in the Wall. Should the robbers at tempt to double back on the trail and escape by the only other exit in the Hole in the Wall, they will be attack ed.
 A bloody battle Is certain to occur during the next thirty-six hours. eith- CT at the western or eastern exit of the Hole or in the vicinity of the recent hiding place of the outlaws. should the bandits remain in ignorance of the plan to bottle them up in the rendez- vous. then the fight will occur at the ranch house of their friend, for the two posses from the east and west will combine forces.

speech Mir. Parker reflected upon the personal honor and integrity of Presi- dent Roosevelt and descended to peT- sonalities so grave. so infamous if not sustained that Is Is impossible to avoid a reference to them. On that day and in several speeches which he has made since. MT Parker has charged in sub. stance that President Roosevelt and the chairman of the National Republican Committee had in substance entered into conspiracy to secure a great campaign fund by blackmailinE the great corporations. the trusts, through the use of some information obtained by Mir. Cortelyou as Secretary of Com merce and Labor and by means of as- surfing to the trusts the direct con trol of the government of tho United States"
 After quoting Judge Parker's state ment on the subject. Mir. Root said:
 Denies COrtelyOu Scandal.
 He also. In other statements that he makes. indicates that those t-,:sts have secured promises or pledges in the future treatment which will be ac- corded to them by the administration in case of Mir. Roosevelt's election Roth of these charges In both re- spects are absolutely and totally false. There is not one word-one scintiiia of truth in either of them. Neither the department nor MT. Cortelyou nor the president had any information or se- cret of any corporation or trust that N Mv. Cortelyou resigned from the de- partment of commerce and labor in June last, never to return to it, and he can have no more to do with corpor- ations in the future than Mir. Thomas TaRRart would have if MT. Parker were to be elected.
 MT. Corteiyou's chief duty is not to collect funds for the purpose of se- curing the election of the president. duty. He has been attending to the duties of managing a presidential campaign all over the United States ana the moneys to pay the expenses have been raised by committees ap- pointed in each of the principal cities of the union under the direction of MT Cornelius N. Bliss.
 ''The fact is that fund has come from more than two thousand separate con- tributions. given freely and gladly without demand or importantly or pressure from committee or any one. 1t is the smallest fund we have had for twelve years-about one half of the Republican fund when Mckinley was elected in 1896 and about one half the Democratic fund when CIeve- land was elected In 1S9a"

vessels. Germany and Denmark both responded. Denmark particularly sent a warship with the squadron and warn ed off number of fishermen and coast ing craft. Before leaving Skagen, Ad- mirai Rojestvensky received further specific information stating that four Japanese torpedo boats accompanied by a collier were waiting west of Cape Skagen. The Baltic squadron left in the morning and the Japanese. in order to make a night attack were obliged to follow and catch up with the war ships in the North Sea-"
 The writer enters Into detailed statement of the movements of the di- visions of the squadrons the day the squadron left Skagen tending to show that all the Russian torpedo boats were sent ahead and that none of them were In touch with the battleship and cruiser divisions
 On the night of October 21. according to this letter, Admiral Rojesvensky re- ceived a wireless message from the transport Kamschatka saying that she was having trouble with her machin- cry, that she was thirty miles fin the rear and asking If the squadron would wait her arrival.
 Then came number of wireless mes- sages in Russian signed Kamschatka asking the sQuadrons whereabouts by latitude an diongitude and particularly where the battleships Kniaz and Souva- roff where. These Messages excited sus- picion and the flagship replied asking the names and number in the family of a certain officer on board the Kama schata.
 Thereupon the message stopped. rt was 12:05 o'clock that night. the writer continued, when the squadron saw a green flare such as used by vessels In distress, evidently a signal asking them to stop and assist. Soon thereafter a searchiight was thrown on the Rus sian vessel by a vessel supposed to bbe accompanying the Japanese tor pedo boats. This made the squadron a plain target for attack

Meanwhile the squadron had entansled with the trawler fleet which was dis- playing no lights. flags or signals. Ad- miraI Rojestvensky. despite the fact that some of them were close enough to do serious damage. had they had evil intent, signaled the squadron to stop firing.
 Some of the trawlers were then quite under the bows of the Russian squad ron. The Russian ships did not stop
 to ascertain the damage done.
