The Second National Bank, the Ma
tional Bank Of Washington, and Ma
tiOnal Metropolitan Bank. creditors of
Thomas L. Wagaman, who last week
asked that he be declared a bankrupt,
today filed a petition asking that "A re-
ceiver be appointed to take charge Of his
estate.
Among other reasons given for asking
for the appointment OF a receiver. is
the contents of a letter addressed by Mr..
Waggaman on Saturday to William F.
Mattingly. John B. Larner. and Arthur
Peter. counsel for the creditors, in which
he asks that immediate steps be taken
10 have a receiver named to hold his
estate together until q trustee IS Ip-
pointed.
Mr.. Waggaman Letter.
Mr.. Waggaman's letter is as follows.
Il feel il my duty TO communicate
with you. as representing the petition
ing creditors in the pending bankruptcy
proceedings. My answer, which is re-
quired to be filed on September 6. must
necessarily admit the indebtedness of
the petitioning creditors. and in view of
the pressing demands OF other creditors
II must show inability on my part to
make present payment, although L be-
leVe II my assets are administered by
a competent trustee. so as TO yield the
real value. all claims against me Will
be satisfied in full.
New Suit Filed.
Proceedings filed were in No "A. .S6s,
I'm which several persons uniting
set forth various claims against {
me, and alleging that the debts
due them are secured by certain securi-
ties embraced in list designated as list

ceiver for the notes and securities en-
braced in said list No. l.
Many other creditors are likewise Sc

RUSSIANS HARD PRESSED.

RUSSIANS HARD PRESSED.
LONDON, Aug. ga dispatch from
Liao-Yang received this morning re-
ports that the fighting to the south
Of Liao-Yang continues. The dis
patch reads: "On Sunday night and
today the japanese have been press
ing continuously on our northern
front.
The infantry fought under the
most difficult circumstances. The
roads are almost impossible. The
troops in falling back have been ham
pered by the number of baggage and
cOmmissariat wagons which they
have with them.
The fighting continued all day
yesterday, finally resolving Itself into
a terrific rear guard action.
GENERAL KILLED.
The Russian losses were great.
General Routtoffsky and Colonel Won

pushing forward in open order.
HISTORIC BATTLE.
'The japanese advanced with great
rapidity and determination and
spared no sacrifice. One battalion at
tacking Siaolingtsy position lost all
its officers.
Yesterday evening a magnificent
spectacle was presented Four
corps were retiring across the plain.
while troops and guns remained TO
protect their rear. The batteries were
firing all along the extended line as
fast as possible and thus created a
deafening roar. It is certain that the
battle of Liao-yang will be a fierce
and historic one"
CAPTURE OF ANPING.
A dispatch TO the Central News
from Tokyo, giving "details of the
capture of Anping, adds that the jap
anese also captured Tang-Hoyeng,
seventeen miles southeast of Lao
Yang. The Russians, says the dis
patch. abandoned Anping as soon as
the Japanese vanguard appeared. The
Russians left quantities of stores be-
hind.
From reports of scouts and spies
the dispatch adds: 1t is computed
that thirteen Russian divisions are
in the lines about Liao-Yang. This
would place the Russian forces at
about 1880 men.
The report adds that the japanese
have occupied Anschanchan, which
was evacuated by the Russians last
week
