NOT OVER CONFIDENT.
Commanding Officer of Japanese Forces
Predicts Fight Against Great
N.lu TrnuhIe --

iS'" 81
Chicago, April Git is reported by 81
staff correspondent of a paper here that
Field Marshal Yamagata, who. after the
emperor, is first in of the Jap-
anese forces, the original organizer of the
japanese army, said today that the Jap
auese may have TO fight odds of 2 TO /, and
that the clash may come near the ialu
river. The marshal said:
.'Russian troops nave been coming south
for a long time and 1t is evident that a
conflict must result. AS matters nave
! turned out it would have been better il
| the war had occurred when the Russians
| first occupied Manchuria. because ever
| since they have been strengthening their
! position in that province. Our statesmen.
| however, wished TO preserve peace as
| long as possible. 1t is difficult to say
| where the first big land battle will take
place. The Russians seem to be in force
! between Lao Yang and Paiping on the
Manchuria railroad. They may cross the
mountains and possibly meet US at the
Yalu.
Bridges and roads north Of ANU have
been destroyed by the Russian troops and
therefore the japanese advance will be
difficult. no doubt If the Russians de-
stroy the Manchurian railroad it may
not be difficult to repair it for the use
of the Japanese troops. We might even
replace old materials with new; but the
difficulty is TO reach the railroad. Five
months ago the Russian generals planned
to put $50, 600 men in the field. They must
have contemplated supplying them with
ammunition and food. Two rivers that
empty into the Arctic sea run near Lake
Baikal. They are navigable in summer
and can be used for transportation. The
Russians in this way need not rely en-
tirely on the railroad. Large supplies OF
American -four have been going TO Vladi-
vostok for years and we must expect to
meet a we'll equipped and well nourished
army OF $4,000. 1t is a difficult matter to
fight a nation with 1900, 600 soldiers. We
must lay our plans very carefully.
There IS no doubt that the Cossack
cavalry will worry the Japanese army.
! which was originally intended for home
!, defense III the mountainous country, and
is mainly composed of infantry. We must
work with the material we possess. When

MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 10, 1904

AFFAIRS in Russia are causing the
c,z,r and his adherents great anxiety.
orbore Is said TO be widespread dissatls-
faction throughout the empire, and these
conditions are producing. additional dis
content daily. The impressment OF men
into the army is having bad effect, es-
pecially where the conscripts are com
nelled to leave wives and helpless chill
dren behind them. In addition to these
grave conditions, the result of war, there
Is dangerous movement in favor OF a
change Of the government system. al
vices from Siberia are to the effect that
terrible distress exists in that portion OF
the Cars realm. Many in st. Peters
burg believe that city is in danger OF be-
ing attacked by the japanese. General
Kuropatkin has himself advised the
authorities to fortify st. Petersburg as
an actual and pressing necessity, because
the japanese feet released from duty at
Port Arthur may sail direct for the Bal
tic and carry the war into Russia. The
orders have been issued and men are at
work on the Notifications. But peace
party has sprung up in St. Petersburg.
1t is composed of men high in the con-
fdence of the Gar. The proposal Is
that the fall of Port Arthur shall end the
war; that the catastrophe will be followed
Immediately by peace proposals. 1t Is
not believed that Japan will be hard to
deal with. Theimmediate abandonment
of Monchuria and the dismantlement OF
the Notifications at Vladiyostok will sat
isfy the japanese.

Selling their Hair.

An idea of the heaviness Of the wal
expenses upon the japanese people may
be gained from the fact that japanese
women are selling their hair in order to
get little addition to the family income.
This fact is revealed by the records OF the
U. S. Treasury Department, which show
that since the outbreak of the war and
the imposition of additional taxes the
imports Of human hair from the island
empire have greatly increased. The in
crease has been so great that the invoice
price, as shown in the reports made to
the appraisers, has fallen considerably.
These two facts caused an inquiry to be
made, with the result that the agents OF
the department were told that Japanese
women are selling their hair for the pur-
pose of increasing the family income,
and some for the purpose of adding the
money they get from the sacrifice to the
popular subscriptions for the army and
the navy. Even rich women are said to
be making the sacrifice of their long
black coils. of which they are so proud.
The demand for Japanese hair in this
country comes from those dealers who
make specially of supplying the hair
stores oatronized by cOlored women.

James Agnor, a foreman at the OIL
house in the Roanoke shops, was badly
cut on the street Saturday night by an
unknown man. He had his right eye

no intelligent account of how the ailair
occurred or by whom he was so terribly
injured. His condition is precarons.
At its meeting Saturday night the
Central Labor Union of Newport News
placed the city market on the unfair list.
This action grew out of liti alton regard
ing the employment of union labor on
certain necessary changes. The call Tor
bids carried the union labor provision,
but contractor sued out an injunction
against that feature, and since then the
courts have made the injunction perma-
nent. A fine will be placed on any union
man patronizing the market.

REPORTS OF NAVAL BATTLE.

Rumors are in circulation in st. Peters
burg to the effect that great naval bat
tie has taken place off Port Arthur, in
which two Russian and four japanese
battleships were sunk. No confirmation
of the rumor can be obtained
The military commission assigned to
bury the Russian dead in the battle OF
Nanshan Hill, at Kinchou, May 26, pre-
scented its final report yesterday. 1t was
found that 10 Russian officers and 664
men who fell in the battle had been care
fully buried, and 80 men were buried
by the outposts, making the total num-
Der of killed left behind by the Russians
704.
A thanking movement Of the japanese
around the Russian left from Feng Wang
Cheng June 3 was repulsed with loss
of two whole battalicus. A large Japa-
nese force moved out in the morning
along the Feng Wang Cheng and Hal
cheGg road. The Russians had force
strongly posted in rayine 80 miles
southeast of Haicheng. The japanese
were preceded by two 5attalions who
walked into the Russian ambuscade.
They received murderous rifle and artil-
lery fire at close range, and were wiped
out. only one or two escaping. The main
japanese force, which was greatly super
ior to the Russian force, tried to out
flank the Russians, who drew off with
out losing man. The japanese closing
in found the rayine vacant save for their
own dead.
Rear Admiral Togo reports that on
Tuesday part of the fleet bOmbarded
the west coast of the Liaotung Peninsula,
near Kaichau, and drove bank military
train that was approaching southwark
No trains have been seen since. The
enemy was driving in troops and throw
ing up works, evidently expecting a land
ing of the japanese on that point and
making all preparations to prevent IT.
Small gunboats sent close in by Rear
Admiral Togo bombarded the Russians
at work. and, it is believed, caused con-
siderable damage.
Colored pictures Of the war have been
distributed in Cracow in large quantities
with the sanction Of the Russian censor
ship in Moscow and the rural districts
of Central Russia. In all of them the
Russian troops are represented victors

Russian, but japanese ships which are
sinking. The town of Hakadat is being

Russians Enfrapped and Eight Hum

Newchwang, June BIT is reported
that the Russians have suffered severe
defeat as the result of an ambush at
Pulanben, probably Pulientien, to the
rear OF Port Arthur.) The japanese at
tackled the Russians, and then drew the
latter on by feigned retreat. The
Russians were entrapped and are said to
have lost 500 men killed and wounded.
The Cars troops have fallen back on
Kai Chow.
Tien Tsin, June 13.-The Russian
battleship Czarewitch, which was dam
aged by japanese torpedo at the be-
ginning Of the war, has been repaired AT
Port Arthur and is now ready for action.
The sea outside the port is thickly
strewn with Russian mines, constant
menace to navigation. According To
word received here there is no truth IN
the report current some days ago that
the Russian gunboat Giliak had been
destroyed.
Rome, June 13.-A dispatch from
Seoul states that 90, 900 reinforcements
have been sent to General Kuroki, who
though still at Feng Huang-Cheng, has
pushed advance guards among the hills
These advance forces have gone as far as
Motienting Pass, where on Saturday they
encountered force of Russians who with
drew leaving an officer and six soldiers
dead. The japanese lost an officer and
three men. Kuroki's plan, says the dis
patch, seem to be to deliver an attack
on Lao Yang, simultaneous with that OF
the armies east and south.
Nieuchwsng, June 1.-Two thousand
Russian infantry passed through Nieu-
chwang yesterday morning from the d.
rectIon OF Kai- Chow, accompanied by a
large supply of hospital trains and a
number OF ambuances full Of wounded.
The troops appeared to be exhausted
after a long forced march. An officer
said they were retreating from Tsai-ChoT.
The Russians have abandoned their posi-
ton eight miles south Of Nieuchwang.
