"The japanese landed troops and at
tackled and captured Niuchwaug last
evening, the Russians falling back to
protect the railway"
In report received by The Emperor
from General Kuropatkin under yester'
days date it is stated that at least f,om
1000 to 4, 900 men were killed in the
Yslu river fight.
From | O'Clock yesterday morning un-
til yesterday afternoon the japanese feet
commanded by Vice Admiral Togo has
been attacking Port Arthur. For sew
eral lours there was rain of shells,
the batteries replying TO the terrific fire.
Another desperate attempt by the
japanese TO close the harbor proved
futile. Eight freships sent in by the
japanese commander were blown up or
sunk and two japanese torpedo boa's
we're sunk by mines or the f:e from the
batteries.
Admiral Alexief himself directed the
Russian defense from the coast~deiense
ship Otvashni.
At / o'clock yesterday morning five
japanese torpedo boats were sighted by
the aid of the searchlights, and the Rus
sian land batteries and the gunboat Gillak
and the coast-defense vessels Gremiash-
Chi and Otvashni opened fire aad COM
relled them 10 retire. Immediately af-
terward other japanese ships were sight
ed on the horizon. They were headed
bv fireship, which was sunk pear the
entrance OF the barbor at ] 20 a. m.
At2:25 four more fireshjps approached.
Three of these blew up OH the Russian
mines. Two OF these sank Immediately
and the other two firesbips were sunk by
the batteries and wsrsbips.
Fifteen minutes later three more hre-
ships arrived. One OF them blew up on
mine, the second vessel was wrecked
on the the shore and the third wss sunk
by the Russian shells.
The crews of the destroyed japanese
freships tried to save themselves by
boats in which they put out to sea. A
majority OF them were killed by the Rus
sian machine guns and rifles. Some OF
the survivors were picked up.
At daybreak number of japanese
we're seen clinging to the masts and fun
nels of ,he sUnken vessels, and these
were rescued by the Russians. Thirteen
of the wounded japanese have since
died. The Russians supplied the sur
vivors with food and clothing, and the
wounded were taken to the hospital ship
Mongolia.
During the morning loot the enemy $
torpedo boats remained 10 the ofiing and
were fred OH at long range.
At $50 o'clock it was sigoalled that
there was Japaoese feet in the vicin-
ity, and that Two ofrhe enemy's launches
had been run ahore. Sholly afterward
the fleet opened fire.
The capture of Niuchwang and the
landing of troops there is part OF the
japanese plan for the capture of Port
Arthur. Baron Hayashi. the japanese
minister in London, predicted on Mon
day that such a movement would be
made with view to seizing the railroad
and cutting off all supplies from Port
Arthur. With Admiral Togo's fleet
blocks ding the port aud the japanese
troops holding the railway the Russians
could be starved out of their strong
position. Niuchwaug is the key to the
Lao Valley. Kinkow, at the mouth o
the Lao. > is the polt OF Niuchwang
which is about 80 miles distant up the
river.

John Tarner, the English anarchist

Sunday, predicted general struggle be-

ROTARY ENGINES

ventor.-No Limit to Its Speed
Less Space, Less Fuel, No Vibra-
ton.
The New York Herald publishes an
account of the perfecting of the HoGf-
man rotary engine which, 1t is claimed,
will revolutioniZe the use of steam.
William F. Hoffman Of Buffalo. the in
ventor OF the new engine has been at
work on the problom for more than
thirty years. and It is said that ennis
saries from the Russian government
have been trying to induce him to part
with the exclusive rights to the lnven.
tion.
The story OF Hoffman's struggles in
his battles with science are detailed
infinitely. Before he succeeded in Sc
curing the perfect 2O0-horse power ro.
tary, he is said to have constructed
nine complete engines and to have ex'
pended more than $3.50, 900. Some OF the
money was provided by Wall street
firm which afterward was swept away
in financial panic.
The secret OF the invention is said
to be the revolution of the cylinder out
side of the piston instead of revolving
the piston inside the cylinder. Here
are some Of the startling things
claimed for the new engine:
II possesses one-seventh of the frsc-
tIon OF the ordinary typo of engine
There is practically no limit to the
speed.
Two thousand revolutions per min
ute are easily accomplished.
There is no vibration whatever un
der excessive rates OF speed.
Engine compounds twice as well as
the ordinary engine.
Floor space required for stationary
engines is reduced by two-thirds.
Consumption Of fuel is reduced one
third.
First cost of the dynamo is reduced
fifty per cent.
Engine requires only slight founda'
tlons, and, possessing no vibration
could be placed safely on the top hoor
of the Flatiron building.

The first perfected rotary con

horse power. but 1t developed twenty
eight in operation and was used by
the inventor to run his shop. by
means of it he found the astounding
results detailed could be attained
readily and then he constructed ms
