five THOUSAND ENGhCED
RUSSIANS CLAIM MUCH INFERIOR
FORCE IN BATTLE ON THE
YALU RIVER.

st. Petersburg. May s.-The Asso-
ciated Press is informed that beyond
the fact of the retreat of the Russians
before the overwhelming superiority
Of the Japanese on the Yalu river no
details have been received since the
report of General Sassulitch, comman-
der of the Second Siberian army corps,
of the retirement from Kuliencheug 10
Antung. 1t is quite possible that the
loss on both sides in the week fight
ing may reach the figures given by the
Japanese, as the reserves were not
brought up to support the Russian po-
sition at kuliencheng, where the fight
ing was the heaviest. The Russians
made a special effort to hold as long
as possible the heights of Chosan, on
an island opposite Kuliencheng, whence
their guns commanded a considerable
stretch of river to the south, but
Japanese battery on a hill above Wiju
dominated the position, which the Rus
SLAMS eventually were forced TO relin-
quish, thus losing the key TO the river.
The desperate character of the strug-
gle there may have been due TO the
necessity for gaining time for the
withdrawal of the Russian detach
ments above and below.
General Sassulitch was in command
of the entire force on the Yalu, which
extended along front Of over thirty
miles. with reserve supports fifteen
miles back.
The whole force, according TO the
best information obtainable. did not
exceed 1900 men. What was the
actual force engaged is not known at
present, though probably il was not
more than 5000 men, If ii was SO large
No confirmation has yet been re
ceived of the reported capture of
twenty eight Russian quicl<hrinS guns
or of the wounding Of General Sassu
Itch and General Kashtalinsky. the
latter in command of the Third diyi-
sion, East Siberian troops al the Yalu
river. OF the burning Of Antung. II Il
confirmed that a village of thatched
huts was set on fire by a she'll.
The statement that the Russians
have fallen back as far as fenghuang-
cheng is declared TO be untrue. The
advance has retired and will continue
to retire before the main army Of the
enemy, according 10 the Russian pro
gramme but il will keep In constant
touch with the enemy and further
skirmishes are expected.

EXTENDING FROM ANTUNG
TO LiUSHUkCN.

washington, May 3.--The japanese
legation here has received the follow
Ing official cablegram from Toxic.
General Kuroki, commanding the
first army, reports from Chiutienchens
that. on May /, the Second and
Twelfth divisions and the imperial
guard, forming the First army corps,
advanced Notwithstanding stout re-
sistance on the part of the enemy, by
three roads, driving the enemy before
them, and at p. m. occupied a line
extending from Antung TO iiuehukon.
The imperial guards surrounded the
enemy on three sides and. after Sc.
we're fight, captured twenty guns, with
horses and carriages, and more than
twenty officers and many men. The
general reserve corps advanced by
the Liaoyang road. The enemy was
composed of the whole Third division
and the Twenty and Twenty
fourth regiments of the Sixth infantry
division of sharpshooters and General
Mishtchenko's cavalry brigade, with
about forty guns and eight machine
guns. The enemy fled toward Feag-
huangcheng Our casualties will not
exceed at most 700. Twenty eight
quickfiring guns and large quantities
Of small arms and ammunition We're
captured. Our heavy field guns were
very effective. A Russian officer who
was taken prisoner says that both the
commanders OF the army corps and
the divisian were wounded and that
the Russian casualties exceeded 500.

Japanese Warships Engage Enemy's
Shore Batteries.

London, May 3.-The Japanese lega-
ton has given out an official dispatch
from the admiralty at Toxic reporting
an engagement between japanese war
ships on the Yalu and Russian shore
batteries. 1t reads as follows.
The captain Of the sunboat Maya
reports that a fotfla consisting of the
gunboats Maya and Iii and some tor
pedo boats ascended the Yalu May L.,
bombarding the enemy. While they
were returning the enemy's artillery
suddenly attacked the torpedo boats.
The latter silenced the enemy after a
severe engagement lasting thirty min
utes and the fotilla all returned to
Yongampho There were no casual
ties.
Our armed launches reached An
tung the same morning and repulsed
the enemys infantry and artillery
after thirty minutes of sharp sighting.
Fire was seen rising from the town
and native says that the enemy fed
from Antung after setting fire to it"

Jap Fleet Twice Passed vIadvostok
Squadron at Sea.

Toxic, May 3.--Vice Admiral Kami-
mura, who is in command of the Jap
anese squadron which has been opel-
ating recently against NIadiyostok.
has sent in a report from Gensan, ko-
rea, in which he says that the i'm
penetrable fog twice forced the aban-
donment of tha attack on VladivostoI
and twice spared the Russian squadron
q sea fight. While Kamimura was
steaming north the first time he passed
the Russian squadron bound south on
the raid 10 Gensan, which resulted in
the sinking of the Japanese merchant
steamer Goyo Maru and the transport
kinshiu Maru' The Japanese and
Russian squadrons must have passed
very close to each other for the Jap
anese were conscious of the presence
OF the enemy.
When Kamimura was compelled to
suspend his attack upon Vlaliyostok
he moved TO the southwark and again
passed the Russians on their way
north after the Gensan raid.

His official acts are known 10 his fell

than anything else possibly could, give
the lie to the charges now being made
by newspapers that have assailed the
character OF every public man since
their establishment, that he is the
tool of the machine and the corpora

these newspapers, recorded in their ed
itorial columns at the close of two
sessions OF the legislature of which he
was a member, that his vote was on
the right side Of every question at
fecting the peoples interests Mr.
Warmers record in the senate at a
time when the question OF corporation

His record as secretary of state is
equally commendable. In all matters
growing out Of the litigation with the
railroads ne has stood steadfaStly by
the attorney general. UNFOLDING the
latter's hands i'm every effort made by
the companies in their fight TO defeat

the repeal of the special charter of the

criticism due TO these tactics Of the
railroad companies, Mr.. Warner, as
chairman Of the board Of state audi

expense come for allowance. has never
for a moment hestated about voting
10 give the attorney general all the
assistance asked for. His record both
in the state senate and as a member
of the board Of state auditors has been
one OF honesty and independence.
And we have the voluntary testimony
OF the Scripps newspapers 10 prove
that he was never controlled by the
