DECISIVE BATTLE NEAR

ST. Petersburg. June 27.-Lieutenant General
sakharoffs dispatch received tonight confirms
the belief that the great decisive battle Of the
campaign between General Kuropatkin's main
army and the armies of Generals Kuroki and
Cku is ir-yn1uent. The three armies probably
aggregate three hundred thousand men and
their ofstposts are to-day in touch all along the
line
The Japanese evidently tried to draw Kuropat-
kin as far south as possible. holding out
incentive check to the advance of Oku's main
army Meantime Oku swung sharply TO the

northward turning the Russian right and taking
up positions in the pass. The advance at all
points is being attended by constant skirmishins.
Nothing is known here of the exact point at
which Kuropatkin's main force is concentrated.
though it is believed that large part of the
Yang troops has been moved to a point
between Kai-Piug and Tsshi-Chiao. The com.
nauder in chief is believed 70 be at the latter
town.

The loss Of three vessels % the Fort Arthur
fleet is admitted To he a severe blow. especially
il there is no greater loss to the Japanese than
that reported by Vice-AdmiraI Togo.
The meagreness of the reports is greatly my.-

WITTSOEFTS LACK OF EXPERIENCE
In the absence of further information the Ad
miralty is not disposed to crttcise although it ia
admitted TO have been unfortunate for the

that he could not have been forced to get ont Of

by any means desperate.
If wittsoeft arrived in the outer harbor AZ

Last Saturday night the bonanza
camp OF Goldtield witnessed another
shooting affair, resulting in the dea tn
OF one man and the serious woundipp
Of another. As usual, "Ole" ri.

evening, and at the approach Of mid.

drinking heavily, came to the faro

card for that sum.
On the dealer stating that the lin.

effect that he would do for Elliott.
and drew bis gun TO shoot him,
quick as afash Elliott sprang at him
and as he did so Hamilton threw his
arms around him from behind. but
breaking loose he knocked Madigan
down, WHO dropped his gun in falling,
which Elliott quickly seized, striking
him with it twice and as he came at
him again, Elliott shot, the bullet en-
terng the neck, severing the juguar
vein and causing death in few min
utes In the meantime Elliott was
struggling with Hamilton who still
held him from behind, and 10 this po-
sltion Elliott shot him in the thigh.
and breaking loose, saw him put bis
hand, as be thought, to get a gun
from his pocket, 50 he shot him again
IN the arm. Although HamIton's
wounds are most serious, it is consid.
cred possible that he will recover.
After an autopsy had been per-
formed, Madigan body was brought
to Tonopah, where it was buried in
the Tonopah cemetery by the Order of

livered by the Rev. +. H. Robinson.
