RUSSIAN POSITION BAD.
japanese are Assured of Command of
the Lao River VALLEY.

IHS Al00 klVeT NduSys
St. Petersburg, July Is. - With
pressure on two sides, if the Japanese
have any serious intentions of pushing
home their advance in the direction of
Mukden, General Kuropatkin's po-
sition would seem decidedly dangerous.
Their northern advance posts are at
Taidin and Siao Syantai. Whether
the Japanese operations will be pressed
in the face of the rainy season, which
is not regarded as probable here, the
Japanese seem assured of the command
of the mouth of the Lao river valley,
which will give them new base with
two railroads, one direct to Mukden and
the other to the Sinminting river and
the imperial high road. The Sinmin-
ting road opens vast possibilities for
hanking, if an advance is begun at the
end of the rains.
Severe fighting is not improbable
north of Ia Tche Kiao, but the belief
is growing that General Kurokatkin
does not intend to accept a general en-
gagement at this time.
Additional details of the Hoiyan
fight of July describes the Russian
bayonet charge as being the most bril-
liant incident of the war. Japanese
and Russians were found dead in the
trenches with their bayonets through
each others body.

Fleets Again In Action.

Toxic, July 13.-The Russian cruis-
ers Bayan, Diana, Palalda and Novik,
two gunboats and seven torpedo boat
destroyers, came out of the harbor oil
Port Arthur on Saturday morning, July
9, preceded by number of steamers
engaged in clearing away mines. In
the afternoon the Russians vessels
reached point between Sensikau and
Lunwantang, where they were attacked
by Japanese hotilla of torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers. At 4 in
the afternoon the Russian vessels re-
treated to the hal Dor.

LOSS OF k,Ncnou CONFIRMED.
General Sakharoff Sends Account to the
General Staff.

General Sakharoff sends Account to the
General Staff.
st Petersburg, July 13.-Lieutenant
Gneral Sakaharof in a dispatch to the
general staff, confirms the report of the
Japanese occupation of Kaichou. He
says that the Russian loss did not ex-
ceed $50 killed or wounded. General
Sakharoff adds that they are on the
Yinkow road.
"Our detachment remained during
July at Kaichou station. having its
advance posts on the right bank of the
Kantkhe river, the enemy occupying
the heights on the left bank and forti-
flying themselves thereon" says Gen.
eral Sakharoff. Our battery on the
river bridge opened fire at the enemy's g
patrol which appeared in Kantakhe
village. Toward noon a fusilade oc-
Cured between detachment of the
enemy and our company, which OBJ
served the enemy retiring. Our losses
were six wounded.
Coward the evening of July 8 the
enemy's force, consisting of four di-
visions and a brigade, could be made
out in front of Kaichou, extending
along the seashore. Al dawn, July g.,
the enemy resumed the offensive upon
the lear guard of our detachment,
which retired about $50 in the morn
ing from Kaichou to 21e miles north
ward, toward the Shauanlusa Pass.
cat 10 o'clock, under heavy pres
sure our rear guard retired on our posi-
ton at Makhunts Guiga and Yaolintas,
three miles north of the Shuanlunsa
Pass. The rear guard held this po-
sition under heavy fire until 2 o'clock
in the afternoon: when, in accordance
with instructions, it retired slowly
and in perfect order on the third po-
sition at Tchjoutzziandiandza, just as
our main body was concentrating at
Datchapu and on the position at Max
hunts Guiga."

Guards and Bandits Clash.

st. Petersburg. July 12-The war
m inistry today received dispatch
from General Kuropatkin's chief of
staff reporting couple of unimportant
affairs between frontier guards and
small parties of Chinese bandits near
Port Arthur, and adding that the
troops forming the garrison are in ex-
cellent spirits. Skirmishes occur
daily. The Russians captured so
Japanese scouts on July l and the
chief of police recently captured 240
head of cattle. There is an abundance
of ammunition at Port Arthur.

OKU STRATEdiST.
Japanese General Is Advancing His
Army With Little Loss.

JAPhHese OeherdA IL Advancing MS
Army With Little Loss.
Toxic, July 11.-Late kilograms
from General Kuroki's headquarters at
the front show that the rains have not
stopped the working out of the Japan
ese plans, either in the interior of
Manchuria or at Port Arthur. The
fianl assault on the fortress is thought
to be very near, although there is
much work to be done in the way of
constructing siege batteries. The Rus
slams have abandoned the outer po-
sitions, after great deal of fighting,
and have strengthened their main de-
fenses.
Japanese correspondents allowed to
send dispatches reveal the skill with
which the generals maneuvered their
columns so as to capture the mountain
passes between the Yula and the Lao
valleys without heavy loss and with
out riskaing the least temporary con-
fusion in their extended line OF battle.
General Oku's forces pressed north
ward and west until they cleared the
lofty ridge east of Kaiping. This de-
prived Kuropatkin's men in the de-
files of their mountain shields, and
compelled the withdrawal of their sup
ports to check Oku's army. There
upon the armies of Feng Wang Cheng
and Takushan, availing themselves OF
such hanking opportunities as local
conditions allowed, forced the enemy
out of their strongholds down upon the
plain of Lao Yang.

CANNERYMEN ALL PLEASED.
International Conference Results In Mu-
tual Understanding.

|
tual Understanding.
Vancouver, B. c., July 9.-The first
international conference between the
cannerymen of Puget Sound and the
Frazer river was held here today, and
was productive of eminently satisfac-
tory results. All the principal opera
tors were in attendance. It was agreed
that tor mutual protection a patrol
boat be placed on each side of the
boundary line by the respective associ-
ations or governments, with a view of
cooperating to prevent thefts OF fish or
gear and bring the guilty parties to
punishment.

been received here of the appearance of
japanese outposts on the loads leading
to Munkden.
On the other hand, the Japanese
have withdrawn from the passes taken
June 26 and 27. and their advance
from Lien Shan Kwan has ceased.
The Russian Eastern corps has
moved forward to Khawan and Ho-

the armies commanded by Generals
Kuroki and Oku are combining to op-
crate against Ia Tech Kiao and Hal
cheng in order to gain possession of the
railroad and enable them to advance to
Lao Yang.
