THE JAPANESE
FOUGHT LIKE DEMONS
Russian Artillerymen So Describe their
Enemys Fighting at Kin Lien Chens.

New York, May s. Despite the
strict censorship that is exercised
at Lao Yang, the Associated Press
has been enabled to get out from
that point the following, the first
press dispatch giving the Russian
side of the story of the battle Oh
the Yalu:
Lao Yang, May S.-The first
lot of wounded from Kin Lien
Cheng arrived here yesterday
They were on a sanitary train.
General Kuropatkin was on the
train. He distributed a number OF
medals for gallantry in action.
Colonel Master and Captain
Filadelfoff, who were among the
wounded, were interviewed by the
Associated Press correspondent, to
whom they made the following
statement:
Without fear of the enemy's
artillery. on April %, the Russians
began to prepare for battle. The
Second battery and the Sixth
brigade occupied the Kin Lien
Chang position. On April so
twelve of the enemy's three-inch
guns appeared suddenly on an
island opposite Kin Lien Chang
and then the battle began. The
enemy SHOT bravely, their shrapnel
bursting over our heads.
In a few hours our battery was
destroyed by the enemy, who open
ed with howitzers which could not
be seen, this tending to demoralize
our men. Our ammunition was
exhausted and it was necessary in
the middle of the battle to issue
new supply. All around shells
were bursting and splinters were
flying in every direction. Captain
Shounkoff, under a heavy fire rush
ed forward and closed the ammuni-
ton box, which otherwise might
have been exploded by the enemy's
shells, and then returned to the
battery. 1t was an awfully one
sided battle and lasted all day.
Our battery lost heavily. Its
horses were killed and we were
unable to Withdraw the guns, and
we, therefore destroyed and aband-
oned them
Captain Tickorjevsky, an ar
tilleyman, said:
We commenced the battle May
/, helping the Twenty-secoi.d reg
lment- The Japanese went for
us on all sides and we were not
behind them. We charged FIVE
times as they attacked. Our losses
were greatest when we were return
ing to each attack. The men fought
like demons and only fell back at
D. M, when we had lost half our
The loss to the enemy
is believed to be 400. They use
humane bullets.

McFAGAN, WHO HAD

ON THE OCEAN, WENT 3s5z
TO THESBoTToM OF:
3zz5THE&RIVER.

$ a shadow of gloom was cast over
the campers and the many friends
of Michael McFagan, by his sudden
drowning yesterday at the Johns
glass house camp, opposite Murray.
McFagan went down to the camp
Friday to spend few days with the
campers. yesterday afternoon he and
Turner Brnmage, Of this place, pro-
posed to each other swim across
the river, and McFagan stated he:
could swim it i've times The contest
was started, Brumage reaching the
other side, but McFagan sank in 80.
feet of water, a few yards from where
he entered. He has always been re-
.sarded as good swimmer, having.
spent twenty-five years of his life on
the ocean, and just what caused him
to sink is not definitely known, but
it is supposed that when he a1ighted
in the water that he struck on his
stomach with such force that the wind
was knocked out of him, and it being
so sudden he was unable to regain his
breath. Several on the bank, who
were watching the swimmers, thought
that he was performing some Of his
water tricks, but they soon saw that
he was drowning. A sl1iff was quick
" manned and put ont to rescue
him, but too late; they got there just
as he went down the last time.
His body remained under water
three hours and half, but was
found near where he went down
Squire Amos was summoned about
2 O'Clock, directly after the drowning
but no inquest was held, it being an
aceiaental#d l#dgawninas II
81 His body was brought to the Mus
grave undertaking establishment last
night and prepared for burial. His
remains will be inferred tomorrow,
but at what hour and place has not
been decided.

NEW YORK. Aug S.The storm
OF criticism aroused by Bishop Pot
ter.s appearance at the opening of the
new subway ~ saloon continues. Addi.
lstional protests against the action
were recorded Sunday. despite which
the bishops friends sturdiiy stand by
ances on the temperance question as
a complete answerto the criticisms.
The bishops adherents point to the
views he expressed In the charge
which he delivered to the convention
Of the New York diocese on Septem-
Der "a, 1902, as accurately rejecting
his views upon the point at Issue.
"I regard the church's attitude to-
ward this subject, said Bishop Pot
ter, as OF primary and pre.eminenti
Importance because I hold that she IS
faith and morals. There is, / believe
at present existing. Widespread ap-
iprehension on this subject, and what
is worse. widespread apathy. The
Christian church has sun doubtedly
wasted much energy, and well intenss
toned Christian people are still vast
ing much activity, in the pursuit of
methods and maxims concerning the
drink habit. which have earned for
them the ridicule, II not the resent
ment Of reasoning and rejecting peo-
pie; but those OF us who judge such
persons harshly are often wiIlingly ig-
norant Of situations and incidents
which are peculiar To our own CT h
zation. Our times have created their
own perils !; and they are periIsf
which threaten both sexes and all
ages, and which, In many cases, may

that SO far as ordinary usage8i is con-
cerned in the matter of intoxicants,
the standards in many departments
of life are higher than thoseSo our
ancestors. We can make laws until
there is no part of life that their re-

man Believe me, we shall sit in vain.
The whole moral sense of the COM
