| Che Foo, Sept 8.-Chinese who
left Port Arthur Monday report a Sc
we're engagement September Bird. The
Japs attacked certain positions east
and west and the Russians allowed
them to approach within a short dis
tance when they opened fire and
compelled the JaDs to retreat after
three hours fighting.
st. Petersburg, Sept. General
Kuropatkin has arrived at Mukden
and the whole Russian army is ex-
pected to reach there by tomorrow
night. AS the Russian newspapers
begin to realize more fully the ca
tastrophe which Kuropatkin avoided
at Lao Yang and the skillful man
ner in which he upset Oyama's care
fully laid plans they take more
cheerful view of the result and are
beginning to give Kuropatkin great
praise.
The general staff is reticent about
KurOpatkin's plans, especially as to
whether he intends to stop at Muk-
pend upon the intention of the Jap
anese. Preparations will probably be
made to evacuate Mukden, and there
is considerable evidence that Kuro-
patlIin if compelled to go north will
make a stand at Telling where the
Russians wintered last year Telling
is forty miles north of Mukden. At
this point there is a narrow defile
with the Lao river on one side and
mountains running almost down to
the railroad on the other. Steps are
being taken to guard against the pos
sible cutting of the lines there. The
report that the sailing of the Baltic
squadron had been postponed until
November is officially denied. as is
also the report that several of the
ships composing it had developed de
fects. The squadron will sail from
Libau Sunday.
The bulk of the Russian army is
near Mukden, where it now appears
that Kuropatkin had been since Mon.
day. His troops are not entering the
city, but are taking up prepared posi-
tions around Mukden. The critical
stage is regarded as having passed
and it was announced this afternoon
that the war office will no longer give
out two bulletins each day.

To-Day's Session.

The Commission resumed at 80
this morning and continued the tes-
timony of V. l.. Sullivan. His exam
ination was as to the capacity OF

empty He stated that from eight to
ten feet of water is needed to irri-

The session of the commission 70
hear the Hondo protest, held yest9r-
day afternoon was along the same
lines as in the morning. The effort of
the protestants seemed to be direct
ed to prove that the diverting of any
more water from the Hondo river
would cut down their already INSULT
cient supply SO much that land now
titled by them would have to be
abandoned.
1t was two O'Clock by the time the
Commission got together and ready
for the business of the afternoon.
The lawyers for the p |. & |. Co.
introduced Geo. A. Danner on the
stand. Mr. banner has lived I'm the
Valley since 1880. and it was he who
river, the Long ditch. Mfr: Danner
testified that the water in the HOndo
varied from year to year and was
principally flood water from the noun
tains. The Hondo as it now is is
much smaller than it was some years
ago This he thought was due to the
lack of rains and snow in the noun
tains
The next witness was Mr.. Rufus
Donahoe. This witness has lived in
the Valley for the last 'twenty-four
years. His testimony was practically
the same as that of Mr.. banner.
William Benson. civil engineer and
land surveyor, testified that, he had
during the last two weeks measured
the bitches taken out of the Hondo
river. Mr.. Benson placed before the
Commission the size, condition Of
the bitches now taken out of the
Hondo river. The size of the Hondo
below all the bitches is 4S.5 square
feet of cross section. The total ac-
reage of lands irrigated from these
bitches is 3.430 acres. The object
of Mr.. Benson's testimony was eyi-
IDENTIFY directed to place before the
Commission of the various measure
ments of the bitches and river, in
order that they might see the amount
of water the Hondo and it's bitches
can carry.
Rufus j. Donahoe, who lives. on the
Long ranch, testified that he had liv-
ed up the Hondo for twelve years.
and also as to the amount of water
in the Hondo and the land under cul-
1ivation. His testimony was the
same, to all practical purposes as
that of the former witnesses.
General Benson, of Carlsbad was
recalled by Mr.. Cameron and made a
statement to the Commission, the
purport of which was that he is in
Roswell to represent the farmers un-
der the P l. & /. Co. bitches and ca
nails. These farmers are fearful that
they will lose their water. they are
unanimous on that. They are now
short of water and cannot afford to
lose any more. They regard the wa
ter now taken out of the Hondo by
the bitches in use as an infringement
on the rights of the owners of water
rights down the Valley. In answer
to 4 question, Mr.. Benson admitted
that when the p |. & |. Co. had con-
templated a plan and we're at work
on it, TO place 10000 acres of land
on the Hondo under cultivation. they
had made no protest. General Ben

Russians in Danger.

Mukden. (TuesGay) Sept. 6.-The
part of the Russian army coming to
Mukden by wagon road is in danger
OF being cut off. All day and night
Monday the Japanese in the hills on
the east of the road shelled the Rus
sian troops, and in one instance the
Japanese infantry attacked a large
force of Russians. Troops, guns and
transports are pouring into Mukden.
Considerable transport goods was
left behind. The roads are frightful
owing TO the heavy rains of Monday.
The main Russian army is pushing
northward evacuating Mukden.
Toxic, Sept. THE general staff
has not yet made public any details
of the battle at Lao Yang. The peo-
pie here are still celebrating the vic
tory, but there is considerable specu-
lation over the official silence regard
ing Kuroki's movements since Sun
day. 1t is reported that the Japanese
captured vast accumulation of the
Russian stores and ammunition at
Lao Yang.
No official report of the movements
of Kuroki has reached here, but
Kokumin says that it learns on good
authority that General Kurok after
taking the heights near Heyinki If
teen miles northeast of Lao Yang
occupied a line from Yentai to the
mines in hot pursuit of the Russians
who were said to be concentrated 20
miles north of Lao Yang are now re-
treating in the direction of Mukden
The Russians destroyed their stores
but numbers of guns and quantities
of supplies were captured. Nichiniese
says it thinks the Japanese casual
ties may exceed those of the Rus
SLAMS owing to the latter occupying
fortified poitions. The Mikado has
congratulated the forces on their
brilliant victory, adding that the end
of the war is still in the distant fu-
turea and exhorting care and pa
tience.
