THE RUSSIAN STAFF'S
ACCOUNT OF FIGHTING.

st. Petersburg, May 1.-The general
staff account of the operations on the
Yalu river to-day is as follows:
At o'clock this morning Japanese
field batteries and four finch guns
opened a terrific fire on our po-
sition at Turenchen and on our troops
posted near Potietinsky.
THE overwhelming superiority of the
Japanese in artillery and heavy losses
their fire inflicted on our troops occu-
plying these positions made it clear to
Gen. Sassulitch that ii was impossi-
BILE to hold Turenchen. Consequently
the troops were ordered to retire from
Turenchen, while still holding the Po-
teitinsky road.
when Gen. Sassulitch dispatched
his telegram the Russian troops We're
retiring in good order from Turenchen
and Schakhedzy to their second posi-
ton, and the battle was continued at
Potietinsky and Tchin-Gu."

HOW LONDON VIEWS
THE YALU FIGHTING.

London, May 2.--No independent ac-
counts of the fighting on the Yalu river
have reached London and vafious opin-
ions are expressed this morning re-
garding the importance of the Japan
ese victory. 1t is considered in some
quarters that it was never the inten-
ton of the Russians to hold the right
bank of the Yalu. except for tactical
purposes, and that the real struggle
has not vet been reached. All the
papers, however, recognize that the
success of the Japanese will greatly
enhance their prestige.
The Daily Mails New Chwang cor
respondent hears that the Russians ara

LOOK FOR THE JAPS TO
LAND ON PENINSULA.

Che Foo. May /, 3 p. MT is ex-
pected here that the Japanese will
land on the Lao Tung peninsular. near
Taku Shan. if they have not already
done SO.
1t is learned from Chinese who have
arrived from Taku Shan that on April
% four Japanese warships, twelve
torpedo boat destroyers and also
some torpedo boats approached Taku
Shan. Seventeen officers and a party
of men landed. They were discovered
by the Russian coast guards, who
fred upon them. The japanese then
returned to their ships, which were
still off Taku Shan when the Chinese
left there April rs.
There are some grounds for the be-
lief that number of transports join
ed the Japanese feet at rendezvous
on the west side OF the bay of Korea.

JAPANESE SHOW
GREAT INGENUITY.

Port Arthur, May "details of the
dennonstra ton off Port Arthur on April
27 disclose the ingenuity of the Jap
anese. Their squadron set afioat a
string connected raft. carrying burn
ing materials. At lao o'clock in the
morning, when FIVE miles off shore,
the combustibles were fired, the wind
and waves bringing the burning floats
towards the harbor.
Under cover of this screen of fire
eight Japanese torpedo boats, towing
a launch filled with mines, slipped
around to spot near where the Pc
tropavlovsk was sunk, but they were
detected by Russian searchlights, when
the batteries opened fire and drove
them off, but not before the mines had
been sown. The mines have since been
destroyed.
The Japanese, knowing that the Rus
SLAMS would intercept wireless mes
sages, tried a neat trick to deceive
and worry Viceroy Alexieff. For sew
eral nights in succession they sent
by wireless teiegraphy orders to pre-
pare for a landing to send in fireships,
to attack with sumarine boats, etc.

telegram, dated May l, has been re-
ceived at the Japanese legation from
Toxic:
Gen. Koroki. commanding the first
army, reports that on April 26 prep
arations were made for laying bridges
across the Yalu, On the same day
attachments of the imperial guard
and of the second division attacked
and dispersed the enemy on islands
in the river and occupied the islands.
In these engagements sixteen of the
Imperial Guard were seriously and
nine slightly wounded, while there
were no casualties in the second di-
vision. The enemy retreated, carry
ing many dead and wounded towards
Chiu- Tien- Chang.
A Russian cavalryman taken pris-
oner said that the Twenty-second,
Twenty-third and Twenty-seventh In
fantry regiments of the Eastern ST.
berian Sharpshooters formed the van
of the Russian force.
Lieut.. Senyoloff, commanding the
mountain scouts of the Twenty-second
Regiment, was found dead and was
buried at Wiju. Ninety-five dead
horses were found.
From noon of April rs until April q

The enemy fired at long range from
the neighborhood of Chiu-Tien- Chang

DELANEY FOUGHT
TWO DETECTIVES
STRUGGLED FOR A WEAPON
WITH WHICH TO KILL TRE MEN
WHO ARRESTED HIM.

Delaney Was Wanted in several
cities, Particularly in Baltimore,
where He Had Recently Married.
Detectives Broke Into the Della
neys' Apartment-EfROrt After Eff
fort Was Made by Delaney to GET
IA Weapon.
Philadelphia May John A. De-
laney, who the police say is wanted in
St. Louis, New York. Washington and
particularly by the authorities of Bal
timore, who charge him with forgery,
was arrested at the Hotel Hanover
early to-day, after sensational strug-
gle with two detectives, who owe their
lives to their presence of mind.
The arrest was made in the presence
of Delaneys wife, who was in bed.
The wife comes from a good family
in Baltimore, and did not know that
he was wanted by the police until the
detectives broke into their bedroom.
The couple were married in January.
She had always believed him to be a
travelling man.
According to the police, Delaney and
his wife left Baltimore on a trip
which she thought was on business.
,rhe detectives located them at the
Hanover. Assuring themselves that
the couple were in bed, Detectives
Thomas of Baltimore and Tall of this
city broke in the door, and struggle
instantly ensued in the dark with De-
laney. who had jumped from bed at
the first sound.
A porter turned on a light and the
prisoner was soon subdued, but not
until after he had attempted to reach
a revolver that was under pillow
and another under the bed. While
dressing he said he wanted vest, and
stepped to a trunk, but the detectives
anticipated him and found third pis-
tol. He made three more moves, such
as to get a collar or a handkerchief,
and in each place the detectives found
a bowie knife.
Having been foiled at every turn De-
laney gave up, and according to the
detectives, said he would have made
his escape if he could have reached any
one of the six weapons, even though
he had to kill both of them.
Mrs. Delaney, dumbfounded at the
whole proceeding. almost went into
Mysteries from surprise and fear.
Among Delaney's personal effects
were found chloroform and a sponge,
a silk bag, which the detectives say
is patterned after the kind used by
sandbagging highwaymen; two pieces
of rope, q chisel and a razor.
The prisoner was taken to the City
Hall and held without bail to await
requisition papers from Maryland.
Delaney told the police that his pres
ent plight was due to his attempt to
have his wife remain in the same So
cial position she was in when he mar
ried her.

On the morning of May /, it became
apparent that the bombardment of

sole object being to retard and embar-

Gen. Sassulitch, menaced by the over
whelming force of the japanese, retir-
ed in perfect order to his second posi-
ton short distance away, which the
Japanese Immediately attacked ana
where fighting is now in progress.
The Russians believe that 1t will re-
qure another week to get Gen. Ku-
roki's army completely across and
ready to advance on the Pekin road
The fact that the Russians have re-
treated to positions back of Turen-
chen, where there is more fighting,
shows that they have built entrench-
ments which the Japanese are under
the necessity of taking before they
can push on. Consequently continuous
fighting and skirmishing will occur,
the plan of the Russians being to hang
on the TANKS of the enemy and annoy
and worry them to the uttermost.
Nothing really decisive however, is
expected until the Japanese advance
shall encounter the Russian position
in the mountain passes of Feng Huan
Cheng.
1t is even considered possible that
the Japanese may be able to turn the
Russian position there. but all this is
provided for in Gen. Kuropatkin's

B. & B. RECEIVERSHIP CASE
VIII Be Heard Before Judge Speer
in Macon To-day.


Brunswick, Ga. May 1.-The re-
ownership case of E. c. Machsn VS..
the Brunswick and Birmingham Rail-
road Company, will come up before
Judge Speer in the United States court
at Macon tomorrow. 1t promises to
most prominent attorneys will be inter
ested. For the Brunswick and Bir-
mingham, F. E. Twitty, of this city,
and w. A. Wimbish of Atlanta. gem
eral counsel, will appear. The Knick-
erbocker Trust Company, of New
York, which is interested in the hear
ing, will be represented by Kay, Ben
nett & Conyers, of Brunswick; the At
lantic and Birmingham Railroad, which
is made a party in the petition. will
be represented by Judge j. l.. Sweat,
of Waycross. Machen Is represented
by Harris, Dessau & Harris. of Ma
con. 1t is understood that a num-
Der of the creditors of the Brunswick
and Birmingham will also be repre-
sented by attorneys. A number of at
torneys, witnesses and others, OF
Brunswick. left for Macon tonight.
While there is no way of telling how
the case will terminate in Macon the
general oainion prevails in Brunswick
that it will be thrown out of court.
However. in case a permanent receiv-
er is appointed for the Brunswick and
birmingham serious question arises,
as to how it will be operated here
after. AS is we'll known the road
is now part of the Atlantic and
birmingham, and it would be difficult
task to operate the road independent
ly again. In case permanent receiy-
er is named. it has been stated by
those in positions to know. that the
road would in all probability, be oper-
ated jointly by the Atlantic and Bir-
mingham and the receiver. until the
matter could be finally closed. 1t may
be stated in this connection that it
Is not at all likely that the Brunswick
and Birmingham will be owned by
other people than those of the Allan
tic and Birmingham.

KENTUCKY DERBY.

Louisville, Ky, May with fair
weather and fast track practically
certain for tomorrow. the THIRTEEN
running of the Kentucky Derby over
the track of the new Louisville Jockey
Club promises not only to attract an
immense crowd, but to furnish a more
open race than was thought possible
a few days ago.
Proceeds, Capt. S. S. Browns entry,
will go to the post favorite, but fair
weather and a fast track are regard
ed as improving the chances of the
other entries. Brancas and Prince Sill
yer Wings will have about equal sup
pert. Ed Tierney will also have con-
siderable backing. Elwood will prob
ably be at the longest price.
These will doubtless make up the
field for the event. as it was stated
tonight Bats, w. r. SchuiGe's entry,
will hardly face the flag. No formal
declaration as to Bats has been made,
however.
Lucicn Lynn will ride Brancas in the
derby Tomorrow.

DUCHESS JEWELS STOLEN
BY A SOCIETY WOMAN.

Paris, May AFTER the death OF the
Duchess D'Albe at the Hotel Bristol
last March 1t was found that a casket
containing jewels valued at $4,000 was
missing. The lost jewels included a
diamond earring. the wedding gift OF
Emperor Napoleon III to the Empress
Eugene, which later was presented by
the Empress to her niece.
The Spanish embassy communicated
with the authorities concerning the
missing casket and the police have
now traced the theft to a society wom-
an who visited the Duchess during her
last illness. The jewels have been re-
covered and 1t is probable that the
family Of the Duchess will refuse to
prosecute the accused.
