SURPRISE FOR kURoPATkIN.
Japanese Plan of Campaign Not What
He Looked For.

Newchwang, May 30.-A staff officer
lust from Mukden says the delibera-
tion and precision of the enemy has
surprised General Kuropatkin. who at
first believed the Japanese campaign
would be one OF dashing recklessness,
with more theatrical display about the
maneuvers than strategy.
A Chinese merchant just arrived,
who left Dalny five days ago, says the
Russians have vacated the town. which
at the time of his departure had not
been occupied by the Japanese forces.
The latter were still engaged In land
ing troops at Kinchou bay. II Is said
upon excellent authority that the Jap
anese plan is to use force OF 100000
men in their operations against Port
Arthur and take Ii by storm in fort
night. They realize that their losses
In the execution of this plan will be
severe. but it is considered better to
risk that than to keep large army
idle for three months. They do not
propose, Ii is further said, to penetrate
into the interior OF the country any
further than Mukden-

RUSSIAN OFFICERS OPINION.
Attempt TO Capture Port Arthur q
Bloody Task.

st. Petersburg, May 30.-Captain
Jakovletf, former commander of the
Russian battleship Petropavlovsk, who
was wounded when his ship was de-
stroyed at Port Arthur April 13, in an
interview regarding the possibility of
the Japanese capturing Port Arthur.
declared that it would take 10000
men, with magnificent artillery, to ac
lomplish the task.
ASKED as to the number of men in
the Port Arthur garrison Captain
Jakovleff said it was much larger than
was stated in the telegraphic reports
much over 25,0d0--but he declined
to state what would be the exact NUM-
ber when the defenders of the kinchou
positions retired within the fortress.
He discussed with some detail the
difficulties of the approach. After the
outer line of the Notifications is
reached, said he, number of de-
tached positions must be captured by
the enemy before they reach the inner
ring of defenscs. The taking of each
position would nccessitate a bloody
battle and their capture would leave
the citadel untouched and, to his
mind, impregnable.
He declared that Port Arthur was
provisioned for year and said all the
damaged ships there had been re-
paired except the Retvizan and the
Czarevitch. The latter, he asserted.
ought TO be ready now and the former
within a week.

RUSSIAN DEFEAT AT kfNCHOU
COMPELS THEIR RETREAT
TO PORT ARTHUR.
LOSS OF Guns A SEVERE BLOW
LATE NEWS OF ENGAGEMENT
CAUSES DEPRESSION AT
ST. PETERSBURG.

ST. Petersburg, May 30.-There is
no attempt here to disguise the fact
that the successful forcing of the neck
of the kwantung peninsula proper
puts practical end TO resistance to
the enemy until he reaches the actual
Notifications around Port Arthur AL
though there are many strong posi-
tions in the more than twenty-five
miles before the perimeter of the fort
ress is reached the authorities admit
that the Russians can offer little re-
sistance and must now retire within
the fortress and undertake to defend
themselves against siege.
Neither the admiralty nor the gen.
eral staff has any direct information.
Like the outside world the admiralty
and general staff are depender. en-
tirely upon the enemy for news. Ma
tive reports, which may be OF some
value, are, however, expected shortly.
While there is no disposition Ia
question the main facts sent out Off
cially from Toxic some unoffic cial re-
ports from Japanese sources are being
received with caution. The impossl-
Uiilly Vi HOlulu5 lHt duNdHCG pO5ilAOuS
around kinchou in the
Face of Overwhelming Odds
has all along been admitted, but on
account of the character of the posi-
tion as we'll as its defenses the general
staff cannot but belle : that the de
tense must have been heroic and that
the positions were only taken by dis
play OF desperate courage and at
frightful cost. The earlier news was
received in a calm spirit by both the
public and the newspapers, but II the
latest report that the japanese cap
tured fifty guns Is confirmed 1t is sure
that the effect will be much deeper
and is certain to be considered Sc
we're blow Until that report arrived
the feeling was that the Russians had
resisted to the limit of human endur-
ance and had retired in good order,
but If this number OF guns was taken
1t will put a different complexion upon
things, though il is conceivable here
that if the Japanese operating fleet
landed forces at Sanshiliphu and Ia
lienwan and got in the rear of the Rus
sian positions the abandonment OF the
guns might have become necessary.
This view, however, will hardly ol'
minish the extent of the disaster.

CAPTAIN HAYASHi KILLED.
Commander Of Japanese Gurboat Hit
by a Shell.

Toxic, May 30.-The Japanese squad
ron which was assigned to cooperate
In the attack Of the Second army on
Kinchou and Nanshan hill, composed
of the gunboats Thukishi, Amagi, Hel-
yen and Chokai, and the First torpedo
boat fotilla entered Kinchou bay or
Wednesday. A heavy sea prevented
Its participation in the fighting Of that
day. The weather cleared on Thurs
day morning, however, and in spite OF
the shallowness of the water the
squadron steamed close to shore and
bOmbarded the Russian batteries.
Early in the action shell passed
over the forward deck of the Chokai,
killing lieutenant and two petty Off
GERS and wounding two men. The tor
pedo boat fiotilla shelled the railroad
near the Shaos river. The torpedo
boats took soundings and guided the
larger ships. The squadron advanced
with the Japanese right flank and
aided in covering it. Later in the day
the falling tide compelled the with
drawal of the larger warships.
Captain Hayashi, commander OF the
Chokai, was killed by the explosion OF
O shell near one of the ships guns.
Four other men were wounded. The
vessels themselves We're not damaged.

CAR is AGiTATED.
Loss of Guns at kinchou Serious Blow
to Russians.

to Russians.
st. Petersburg, May 30.-Emperor
Nicholas received the news OF the re-
suit of the fighting at kinchou and in
it's vicinity at the palace of Tsarskoe
Selo He at once sent for War Minis
ter Sakharoff, with whom his majesty
and the members of his cabinet went
over the dispatches. The emperor re-
ceived the report that the Russians
were compelled to retire before the
heavy artillery fire of the enemys
batteries in front and of, his warshipS
on their flank with composure, as be-
ing the fortune of war, but he was con-
siderably agitated by the later reports
that General Fock had not succeeded
in saving the Russian guns. The
members of the military cabinet point
ed out that this later report was not
official and besides they expressed
complete confidence that Port Arthur
itself could not be reduced except at
ar immense cost of time and men and
with the aid of the heaviest kind of
siege guns. General Sakharofi also
said he did not believe the report that
the enemy had arrived within ten
miles of Port Arthur twentyfour hours
aIteT the desperate HSHlihS az hih-
chou.
Discussing the recent fighting an
officer of the general staff said TO the
Associated Press correspondent that
the works at Kinchou had been hastily
constructed and were no criterion OF
the works at Port Arthur-which could
not he fanked-where the forts We're
scientifically erected and connected to
support each other.
"If the Japanese lost 5000 men in
taking kinchou." the officer added,
"they will lose 10000 men at least If
they try 10 take Port Arthur. Even
with such a sacrifice | consider the
capture of the fortress to be impossi-
BILE Port Arthur, in my opinion, Is
impregnable so long as its food and
ammunition hold out"

RUSSIAN DEFEKSES STRONG
BATTLE or NANSHAN HILL ONE
OF THE BLOODIEST IN
MODERN WARFARE.

Toxic, May 30.-The Japanese as
saut on Nanshan hill was one of the
fiercest and bloodiest affairs in mod
ern warfare. In the earlier rushes OF
the engagement every man participat-
ing was shot down before he reached
the first line of Russian trenches. 1t
was found necessary to stop these in
fantry charges and renew the artillery
fire from the rear before the final and
successful assault on the Russian posi-
tion could be made. The success OF
this assault was brought about by one
detachment of Japanese troops, more
intrepid than their comrades, who
succeeded in piercing the Russian line.
A splendid stroke of fortune was the
discovery and destruction by the Jap
anese of the electric wires leading TO
the mines at the eastern foot OF Nan
shan hill. This prevented the Russians
from exploding these mines when the
Japanese infantry crossed the ground
where they had been placed. IL is pos
Sible that the fortune OF the day hinged
uDon these mines. III the Russians
had been able TO explode them at the
right time the losses among the Jap
anese troops would have been tremen-
dous and ii is possible also that the
Russians would have been able to hold
the hill.
Nanshan was splendidly defended.
Nearly fifty guns of various sizes were
mounted on the various emplacements
and there were also two batteries OF
quick firing field pieces. The artillery
was sheltered behind loopholes
trenched on the terraces of the hill.
The infantry manning the field pieces
ran with them around the hill, thus
using these guns for the protection OF
the most important points.

JAPANESE NOT WORRIED.

Toxic, May 30.-The Japanese are
not seriously disturbed by the Russian
operations in Eastern Korea. The
movements of the Cossack cavalry and

Japanese. who are confident In their
ability To protect their eommunica-
tions and maintain the military SUI
premacy of Japan in Korea. The falu
victory, which opened the Yaln estuary

the importance of the line of land COM

limits their operations TO the land
where transportation difficulties pre-
vent the concentration and operation

TO PORT ARTHUR.
RUSSIANS LEAVE DEAD ON FIELD
THEIR LOSSES IN THE LONG EN-
GAGEMENT SAID TO NUMBER
TWO THOUSAND.

Toxic, May 30.--Japan paid heavily
for her victories at Kinchou Nanshan
and Talienwan. losing 5000 men in
killed and wounded in the repeated
assaults against these positions, but
she scored a sweeping and valuable
victory over the Russians, capturing
fifty guns, clearing the way to Port
Arthur and inflicting losses on the
Russians which in the end are expect
ed to total 1000 men.
1t is doubted if the Russians will
stand again north of Port Arthur.
They retired from the field beaten and
they failed to rally at Nanquanling,
where it was anticipated that a second
stand would be made.
The desperate onslaughts of the
Japanese on the heights of Nanshan
were telling, for the Russians left 800
dead ia the trenches there. A com
plete search of this field is expected
TO show greater number of dead.
Jap Soldiers Greatly Fatigued.
Nanquanling was occupied Friday
morning Dy IOlce OF infantry, aTill-
lery and engineers under the command
OF General Nakamura. The main Jap
anese force spent Friday night billet
ed in the villages around Nanshan.
The soldiers were greatly fatigued as
q result of the constant fighting, but
they entered with much spirit upon
the new operations. A force of Rus
slams held Sanchilpu station, which is
northwest of Dalny, but the Japanese
drove them out.
The Russians abandoned and burned
the station and retired in the direction
of Port Arthur.
The estimates of the Russians en-
gagged i'm the defense of Kinchou, Nan
shan hill and the south shore Of Ia
lienwan vary, but it is evident that
the Russians drew for men from the
forces at Port Arthur and offered ali
the resistance possible 1t is under
stood here that Lieutenant General
Stoessel, commander of the military
forces at Port Arthur, was in personal
command of the recent operations. As
soon as the Japanese troops have rest
ed they will press on TO the south.

HAS TERRIFIC POWER.
American Officers Astonished by Force
Of Japanese Powder.

Washington, May 30.-Reports re-
ceiycd here from the Far East dwell
at length upon the terrific power OF
the Japanese Shimose powder, the ma
.ure of which is an absolute secret.
Il is not used to propel the shot, but
for the bursting charge of the army
and navy explosive shell. The result
Of the explosion has astounded the
United States army observers. The
heaviest armor piercing shell, with its
small cavity, Is rent into countless
thousands of sharp fragments, which
are hurled through the air with such
force that they tear through the sides
Of an iron ship AS would projectile
from a machine gun. The Russian
warships Variag and Korietz were
found to be riddled deck and sides by
fragments OF these shells.
II Is not known that any other ma
hon possesses such q terrific explo-
eive.
