 St. Petersburg, May 4-6:OS a. m.-St. Petersburg is electrified by the sensa- tional news of fighting on land and sea. From General Kuropatkin conveying Lieutenant General Zassalitch's report came graphic details of the battle of Turenchen, as the combat on the banks of the Yalu is officially designated, which show the savage character of the fighting displayed by the Russians in their effort to hold a position command ed by the Japanese fire, and their or derly retreat to Feng Wang Cheng, where they are now entrenched, con- ducting en route a brilliant rear-guard engagement, in which they inflicted heavy loss on the enemy.
 Viceroy Alexieff's command of Port Arthur has been signalized by the re- pulse of another desperate attempt by the Japanese to close the entrance to the harbor, adding to this quota of the war news the official report of the ap- pearance of a number of Japanese ships off Kaiping and Siniuchen, on the west coast of the Liao Tung peninsula, be- low New Chwang, foreboding the dis authorization of Japanese troops with the intention of cutting off Port Arthur. The war may now be said to have be- gun in deadly earnest.
