DESPERATE FIGHTING
AROUND PORT ARTHUR.

Che Foo. Aug. %, noon.-The first
detailed news of the general assault on
Port Arthur indicates that a tremen-
dous conflict is raging and that VIC
tory is hanging in the balance.
Chinese, who left Port Arthur yes
terday and arrived here to-day, state
that the Japanese, by making desper-
ate charges which were reinforced by
an artillery fire from Shushi Yen and
Louisa bay swept from the north into
Pigeon bay territory and drove the
Russians back from the main forts.
The ground being comparatively fiat
in this vicinity the japanese were un-
able to hold it in the face of the Rus
sian artillery fire and they retired
north an eighth of mile beyond the
zone of fire.
The Chinese declare that the Japa-
nese captured one important fort To-
Gated on the Itzshan hills midway be-
tween the western coast and the rail-
way on a line drawn approximately
from a point midway between Pigeon
and Louisa bays.
The fighting resulting in the cap
ture of this fort was very severe. The
position was first subjected to a bonn
bardment for over forty-eight hours.
Then the Japanese infantry assaulted
it and compelled the Russians to re-
tire. The Russian artillery then d.
rected heavy fire on the spot, COM
pelllng the Japanese in turn to re-
tire

No Attempt at COnceaIment Made by
Those Engaged In the Work.
Cripple Creek, Col, Aug. 21.-No Sc
cret is made here of the fact that the
deportation of Attorneys Eugene Eng
ley, Frank j. Hangs and j. C. Cole
and twelve other men from this dis
trict last night was planned by mem
bers of the Mine Owners Association
and Citizens Alliance and was carried
out under their direction.
The Ell Paso, indicator. Findley and
other large mines were closed down
when the day shift stopped work and
the miners of both day and night
shifts were requested to assemble in
Cripple Creek, as trouble was brew
ing. A report had been in circulation
that several hundred deported union
men were returning to the camp in
body and it had been determined to
drive them away again should they
come. This report proved to be
groundless. However. other work had
been laid out for the 1000 or more
miners who swarmed into town, and
acting under orders given by leading
citizens they proceeded to round up the
federation attorneys, employees Of the
Intermountain Mercantile Company
store and others who have openly ex-
pressed sympathy with the federation
Of miners and escorted them beyond the
city limits.
During the entire proceedings the
sheriff of Teller county and the Mayor
and city marshal of Cripple Greek
were out of town. Under Sheriff s. A.
Parsons and Deputy Thomas Under
wood attempted to control the mob,
but were easily overpowered.

JAPANESE WAITING ON
PORT ARTHUR FORCES.

Lao Yang, Aug. 21-The Japanese
column which is advancing up the
Lao river is understood to have reach
ed point near Shahotzu, where the
Taitse river joins the inner Lao river
just west of Lao Yang. Russian pa
trois met the Japanese cavalry at
Shahotzu, and it is known that the
Japanese infantry are always near
the cavalry. 1t is further understood
that the Japanese are using boats and
are advancing along the main and
outer Lao river in the direction of
Sinmintin. They are unopposed on ac-
count of the impossible condition of
the roads.
The period of Japanese inactivity in
the north is expected to last until the
fate of Port Arthur Is decided, when
the japanese regiments, which were
detached from the forces on the south
front, after the battle of Tatchekiao
and sent to Port Arthur will return,
probably with the main body of the
Port Arthur army.

SIX DEP0RTED MEN
HAVE REACHED DENVER.

Denver, Col, Aug. 21.-Six of the
men driven from Cripple Creek last
night by the mob arrived in Denver
to-day. j. C. Higgins, one of the
men, is a wealthy contractor.
Mr.. Higgins names two of the
weathiest mine owners of the district
as leaders of the mob and says that
no attempt was made to conceal their
leadership. The cause of his eviction,
Mr.. Higgins said, was that he went
on the bond of one of the unionists.
The deported men walked from Grip
pie Creek to Floristana, where they
took a train for Denver. Their guards
left them at Spring Creek. Higgins
was the only one of the party that
suffered from the experience. He was
struck on the head with revolver
by one of the guards who accused him
Of attempting to draw a weapon
which he had on his person. Higgins

Evidence
introduced.

Washington. Jan. 12.-Senator Scott
of the senate committee ON military
affairs has submitted in executive
session the senate a review of evidence
introduced before the committee on
the hearing of nomination of Brigadier
General Wood to he a major general.
Senator Scott makes a strong per-
sonal argument to the senate in oppo-
sition to the appointment of Geureal
Wood to be a major general. He pre-
faces his remarks with the statement
that confirmation to so high position
as thlt of major general should be
made with due deliberation and the
ly qualified and in every way worthy
and above suspicion.
Commenting ON statement in the
brief of Senator Foraker. calling at
tention to the fact that it was Presi-
dent Mckinley who jumped General
Wood over hundreds of officers IN the
army. Senator Scott says:
1.-THE evidence in this case quite
clearly establishes the fact that he
was appointed because of his supposed
capacity as a civil governor. and there
is much to throw doubt upon the
question of whether even his appoint
ment as brigadier general was not
regretted by the president. and no one
will believe that Mr.. Mckinley would
ever have thought of promotinV him
IN a major eyanarolchi,, oartainIx- NOT
in the light of the present develop
ments.
AT the conclusion Of the evidence
of General Wood the junior senator
from Ohio. Mr.. Hanna, asked that
General Wood be brought before the
committee of this body. having its
investigation in charge. to the end
that he might answer the allegations
and accusations made against him and
relieve himself of the unjust. as his
friends claim to be the case. imputa-
tions and criticisms made aginst the
character, and a colloquy ensued, it be-
ing claimed by some of his champions
that there was no reason for him to be
heard: that nothing had been proved
against him; thai there was nothing
for him to answer; in word that he
was self vIndicated.
''This talk about the difficulty of
his coming here is silly. 1t is simply
evading the question. The truth is.
brave and courageous man would
rather resign q dozen commissions as
brigadier general than allow his char
acter to be smiIched. his conduct as
sailed, his motives impunged and his
integrity and veracity sought to be
impeached, if by giving up the same
he could come in person and disprove
the accusations made against him ="
