fighting north of Yentai, resulting in
the temporary check of Kuropatkin' s
advance guard, OF which the Associ-
a.od Press correspondent at Mukden
telegraphed the first news, is not re.
garded at the war office as indicating
general engagement.
The latest official dispatches ndi-
eating the disposition of the various
corps. show thai the whole army is
not yet in line Of battle. The pres
ent engagement may, therefore. be re-
garded as a result OF a counter at
tack which an enterprsing foe like
the Japanese might be expected 20
make, bur without any calculation u
prevent the Russian advance.

OF the utmost importance. The Yen

he said had been made agninst him

Of the attempted kidnapping of 17-year-

ever sure TINT the attempt to carry
Rose away was real and determined
IN intent.
Two detectives have been assigned
to work on the case by Captain Haines,
Of the Maxwell street station. The po-
lice say they believe that either
the girl wrote the anonymous letters
herself and mailed them to herself and
her family as joke, or else she had
some one else do it for her. 1t Is al-

face when she was found in her yard,
