The CONSTABULARY BAND.
The Famous Filipino Musical Or
ganization Going Visiting.
VIII Appear I'm Riverview Park,
Chicago, Next sunday, Going
Thence to Milwaukee.

Chicago, Aug. 30-Milwaulcee has
captured the first Of the Worlds fair
attractions to appear in an outside city.
The Filipino constabuary band, con-
sisting Of 50 native musicians, has been
declared by musical authorities as one
OF the best that has been heard at st.
Louis. They give programme OF ma
tive and popular airs. This band was
organized at Manila from the recog-
nized talent Of the island, and came
to st. Louis to appear at the Filipino
reservation and in the regular band
concerts. They will be heard at River
view park, Chicago, next Sunday after
noon and evening, and after the night
performance they will leave for Mil
waukee, where they will appear in a
series of concerts in that city.
Several weeks ago efforts were made
by Secretary Grant G. Thomas, Of the
Wisconsin state commission at the
Worlds fair, to secure this Filipino
band for Milwaukee engagement, but
a protest was raised by the government
and exposition authorities ON the
ground that the band had been brought
to this country for the especial pur-
pose of appearing and playing at the
exposition in connection with the Phil
ippine exhibit and the village on the
reservation. The argument was made,
however, that it was unreasonable to
restrict the band from an opportunity
to visit other cities in this country.

the Entire Distance.

St. Louis, Aug. 30.-Three members
of the New York national guard ar
rived in st. Louis Sunday night after
a weary walk of 1866 miles from their
native state on a wager. They were
to arrive in st. Louis before Septem-
Der 1, according to the terms of their
engagement; were to live on 33 cents
a day, carry their equipment, consist
ing of a blanket, rubber coat and hav-
ersack, and camp out at nights.
At each station along the route the
men telegraphed to New York. Two
agents of the men who had made the
wager with the soldiers watched the
latter during their travels from point
to point. The men will visit Mayor
Wells, as they have a letter of intro
duction to him. They expect to re-
main in st. Louis for several weeks,
visiting the Worlds fair. Upon their
arrival they left their travelling outfit

OUTER DEFENsEs ABANDONED.

Gen. KurOpatLin Drawing In HIS
Forces From the Outer Lines.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 30.-Gen. Kuro-
patkiD since Sunday morning, has
been drawing in all his forces from
his eastern and southern fronts to-
ward Lao Yang. Anping, Tsegow,
Liandiansian and Anshanshan, consti-
tuting the main positions Of the outer
defense line Of Eoa Yang, have been
abandoned. The heaviest fighting oc-
Cured on the extreme left, where the
japanese advanced to the assault again
and again, with hayonets. The posi-
tions at Tsegow and Anping were held
by the Tenth European corps. The at
tacks were delivered with fanatical
bravery. The Russians lost a large
proportion of officers, ten guns and
from 1900 to 1000 men. but the Rus
SLAMS had been generally successful in
beating off the assaults all along the
long line, and the Russians declare that
the order to retire came as surprise,
just when they were expecting orders
for q general advance. This is consid+
cred to be proof that Gen. Kuropatkin,
finding his main positions menaced
on the flank, and anticipating dificul-
ties in withdrawing, owing to the con-
dition of the roads. which have sud-
denly been transformer into mud boys
by the rain, considered that a retreat
was imperative. The retirement from
the east front was greatly impeded by
the conversion of the Ian river into
mountain torrent, and this probably
also accounts for the failure of the
Japanese to follow up the retiring Rus
SLAMS.

London, Aug. 3O.-There is no re-

Che-Foo correspondent of the TeIe-

tion from reliable sources that the
Japanese made a general attack on
Port Arthur, but were repulsed with
heavy losses. They only captured two
small forts northeastward of the town,
and distant a mile and a half there
from. It is believed that these forts
are Nos. 10 and IL, which are unten-
able because they are dominated by
forts on either side. 1t is also said,
the correspondent adds, that the jap
anese have abandoned confidence in
the immediate capture of the fortress.

An old soldier of the civil war, who

say: Il have seen many so-calied sham
battles since we fought the war to
finish forty years ago, but they were
simply play compared with the repre-
sentation Of the battle Of Colenso and,
final engagement ct Paardsrburg, as
represented by the Brush ANA Beers
