absolutA Is short
stretch Of VCVie or two
places, hut noS 4ent to prevent
passage. The Nport of the mail
carrier to Santa Maria, was very
much exaggerated. We take pleas
ure in correcting this erroneous re-
port, as THE HERALD does not
care to be classed with the knock
ers.' We have fought the exag-
gerated rumors of high water, ETC.,
and will continue to do so. The
real conditions are bad enough, and
we would like to report a more en-
couraging outlook rather than to
make matters worse.
Quite serious accident befell
little Louise Putegnat day or two
ago, at the convent. In some way
she fell, striking her head against
the brick pavement, cutting quite
cash over her eye, necessitating
six stitches to close the wound.
She is much improved now and no
serious consequences are anticipat-
ed.

Heavy LOSSES AT PORT ARTHUR
Japans General Staff Reports Many Officers Killed or
Wounded in Attacks on the Russian Stronghold, In
dcating Desperate Fighting Between Besieg-
inc Army and Defending Garrison.

The correspondent visited the entire
eastern line. 1t is an ideal region for
military operations. Immense columns
of troops are traversing the numerous
valleys to reconnoiter the passes and
are finding mountain artillery on the
hill side. The japanese officers are in
plain view, pacing up and down the.
trenches, as though encouraging their
men. The Russians. from equally fine
positions, are making offensive demon
STATIONS. inviting an attack and
maneuvering.
The first ascent Of Russian military
balloons occurred yesterday evening
and against the flaming sunset the bal
loon was visible TO the entire japanese
army around Molten Pass. The BALI
loon caused much amazement among
the Chinese.
japanese continue TO march across
the upper part Of the Taitse River to-
ward Mukden by way of Pensihu, pro-
tectin& their left flank from Kuchiatzu
and Kuanchia passes.
The Russians are making a demon
stration in large force before Pien Pass
and also in front of Kuanchia Pass
A detachment Of Cossacks which at
tempted to reconnoiter the Yuhuang-
kao temple to-day was driven back
from two positions, both within hailing
distance.
The japanese as this dispatch is be-
ing filed can plainly be seen taking up
positions for the conflict. They are ap-
parently determined to fight, and it is
reported that the Russian commander
has ordered preparations TO be made
for 1000 70 5000 wounded.
Tienshuitsan, .Chiutsiayan, Pien and
Kuanchia passes are on the Fengwang-
cheng- Liaoyang road and are within
shbrt distance of each other, about
thirty-flve miles southeast of Liaoyang
The Shi River is a branch of the
Taitse. and has its origin in the vfcin-
ity Of these passes.
The Taitse River is a very large
stream, flowing just north of Ldaoyang
in a course almost due westward.
Pensihu is on the Taitse, about forty
five miles east Of Liadyang.

Thousand a Week at Hardin.
NEWCHWANG, July 30.-An
American merchant has arrived here
from Hardin, which place he left one
week ago. He says that Russian
troops are arriving at the rate of e.
600 a week. Six mills at Hardin are
grinding flour and are well supplied
with wheat. The Chinese are bringing
in much grain and are assisting the
Russians in every way. They are well
paid by the Russians. One Chinese
contractor has been given an order to
supply 10000 tons of grain.
There are many Russian wounded
at Hardin. They get the best Of care
and are supplied with delicacies. The
Japanese prisoners who were sent to
Tomsk praise the Russians for their
excellent treatment. The railroad is
working very well.
At Liaoyang the Russians have
mounted many heavy guns and have
constructed deep and wide trenches,
protected with barbed wire.

CHEFU, July SO.-A junk which left
Port Affhur on Thursday at midnight

forces had planned TO begin their final
assault on Tuesday last and expected

that no official reports were expected
from the army or from Admiral Togo
until the present attack resulted in
success or failure. Japanese CORE
spOndents here are now sending 5unks
to the AIiaotao Islands, ready to enter
the hsrbor at Port Arthur Immediately
after the fall Of the fortress.

Action Against Virginia Power
Company.


RICHMOND. Va. July sO.-Judge
Mullin filed his petition at Petersburg
to-day in the case Of George T. Fisher
and others against the Virginia Pas

grants Fishers plea for the appoint
ment Of a receiver, taking the ground
that the company is utterly insOlvent

This is adverse to the Gould inter-

The petitioners based their petition
on the ground that it was necessary
