Series of Rear.G uard Engagements

Impeded by Commissariat and
Couldn't Get Out of the Way...
Falling Back on Mukdcn.

st. Petersburg Aug. 30.-The ope-
rations around Liaoyanyg have under
gone a complete change. Cwingto the
delay in the concentration of Gen ku-
ropatkin : army as result of the ter
rible condition of the roads. the Japan
ese seized the opportunity to attack the
slow. moving corps, and severe fighting
occurred August 81 and 2s, in which
the Russians lost another 900 men.
and they now probably will have TO
accept general engagement.
Gen. kuropatkin himself desert hes
the latest phase of the hostilities in a
long disvpatch to the emperor from
point on the railroad a few miles south
of Liaoyang, where practically the
whole army was assembled and await
ing battle. The telegram, which was
filed early yesterday morning says:
The japanese began at dawn on
August 27 two movements designed to
cut off the First and Fourth corps.
The First. stationed at Anshanshan,
half way between Halo beng and Liao-
yang, experienced the most difficulty.
owing to bad roads. The japanese I'M
der Gen. Oku tried TO flank this corps
from the east
I'm the meanwhile Gen. kuroki,
abandoning his pressure of Gen. Ivan
off and Gen. Herschemein, drove
wedge between the Second and Fourth
corps, which were stationed west of
Liandiansian, strong defensive posi-
tion in the hills twenty-four miles
south ofLiaoyang.
The Russians, greatly impeded by
their artillery and commissariat,
fought a series of rear guard actions,
in order to cover the retreat of their
impedimenta to Liaoyang, in which
they were successful. The first corps,
which figured in the battle of the Yalu
and in the fighting at Molten pass,
again sustained the brunt of the fight
ing and suffered the majority of the
losses, including Gen. Routoutovsky
and Col. Won Raabe.'

JAPAN GIVES WARNING.
Notifies Powers as TO Intentions IA
Shanghai.


Washington, Aug. 29.-Japan has
addressed a note to the powers inform
ing them that unless Russia forthwith
disarms her warships in Shanghai har-
Dor, Japan will be forced to take what
ever steps she deems necessar to pro-
tect her interests. Mr.. Takahira, the
japanese minister, called at the state
department and left with Mr.. Adee.
the acting secretary of state, the com
munication of the Tokyo government.
To correspondent of the Associated
Press Mr.. Takahira said:
While Japan sincerely hopes that
the reported intention of Russia to dis
arm the Askold and Grozovoi at Shang-
hal will promptly be eecuted, my gov
eminent has felt that it was advisable
to inform the powers what must neces-
sarily be its attitude in the event that
the disarmament of the Russian ships
is delayed. The conditions at Shang-
hal are peculira because of the inter
national interests there, and my gov
eminent is DESTROYS of giving these in
terests every consideration.
When the minister called at the state
department he spent some time in con
ference with Acting Secretary Adee,
but further than to receive the COM
munication Mr.. Adee was careful not
to disclose the attitude of this govern
ment, although the minister was as
sured that the continuation of Chinese
neutrality was earnestly hoped for by
the United States.
1t is understood note similar to
that presented to the state department
was also delivered at the various for
eign offices by japanese diplomatic
representatives.
In state department circles the opin-
ion is expressed that the Russian ships
will be disarmed, and also at the state
and navy departments advices have
been received that the incident is re-
garded in Shanghai as practically
closed

GREAT BATTLE
ON AT LAO
YANG.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 30.-The long
expected battle at Liaoyang has begun
and the two armies are now fighting
what probably will prove to he the
decisive BATTLE of this campaign.
The Japanese armies are attacking
Gen. Kuropatkin's forces upon his
chosen ground, and his friends and
admirers here are confident that hav-
ing accepted general engagement he
will defeat the japanese.
In brief telegram received this
morning kuropatkin says the general
advance of the japanese began yester-
day at noon, the Russian outposts fall
ing back upon the main force. The
heaviest fighting was taking place
when his dispatch was sent, from a
point ten miles southeast of Liaoyang.
where the Japanese seemed to be con-
centrating for their main battle.
The Russians suffered principally
from the shrapnel fire of the japanese
artillery.
The japanese selected the Mikado's
birthday for the decisive battle, and it
will not be surprising if today also is
signalized by grand assault on Port
Arthur
The Russian forces are disposed at
Liaoyang to meet the onslaught of the
three japanese armies. A telegram
from kuropatkin which gives this in
formation together with the retirement
of the Russian troops upon Liaoyang
have not been given out for stategic
reasons. The combined armies of Gen
erals kuroki. Lku and Nodzu probably
exceed 200, 900 men.
Their forces are considera bly, super
Tor in numbers to Gen. kuropatkin' $.
but the Russian commander probably
relies upon the strength and character
Of his position to overcome the dispar-
ity ia numbers.
The war Office is waiting with
breathless anxiety for news of the
progress and issue of the battle on
which so much depends.
Liaoyang, Aug. 30.-The japanese
resumed an artillery duel with the
Russian forces at 5 O'Clock this morn
ing. The heaviest firing occurred to
the southeast of Liaoyang and has
been continuous. The japanese shrap-
mel is scorching the whole Russian
front. The mikado's forces mass all
their guns for few moments in one
square; then move to another point
with mathematical precision.
At 10 o'clock this morning the fire

TIME TO END WAR.
France Afraid of Effect of Complete
Japanese Success.

Japanese Success.
Paris, Aug. 29.-The French govern
ment is not aware of any present move
ment for mediation in the war. This
statement, coming from the highest
quarters, was made in response to in
quiries regarding renewed reports of
peace movements. The fact is that
France is ready and anxious to offer
mediation whenever there is the slight
est chance that it will be acceptable
or effective, but Foreign Minister Del
casse and other officials here regret.
fully feel that no such effort can sue
coed at the present time.
However, a strong official opinion is
growing that France, Great Britain
and the United States should put their
shoulders together to avert the increas-
ing danger of Japans victory being SO
great that she may become the domi-
nant power in the far East. A lead
ing official said:
Japan is making terrible sacrifices
of men and money, with the prospect
of securing an overwhelming victory
Las CoSAASAio 40 81 SACot, ohu NhC ' ~
tory SO correspondingly great that it
threatens to give Japan preponderant
position in the far East sach as no one
anticipated when the war began.
Therefore the war no longer solely
concersn Japan and Russia, but all the
countries having interests in the far
East, particularly Great Britain,
France and the United States, who
should together adopt means to stop
the war before either party secures
such an overwhelming victory as to
make her incontestably master of the
far East
The foregoing statement was made
in the highest French quarters in the
aetrnest hope that it would attract the
serious consideration of American pub
lie men and officials.

No international Hatchery, but Iden.

Washington. Aug 30.-In response
to advances made by our state depart
ment the British government has indi-
Gated that it is favorably disposed to-
ward the plan of securing joint action
TO protect the salmon supply i'll the
Pacific Northwest. 1t has been made
clear in the course of the diplomatic
correspondence, however, that neither
the United States nor Canada is in ia
vor of establishing an international
hate hery on or near the Fraser river.
The approved plan has not yet taken
definite shape, bnt both sides are agreed
that in general way steps should be
taken TO seucre a conference between
representatives of the state of Washing
ton and the province of British Colum-
bia, to the end that uniform legisla-
ton and regulations may be obtained
to provide for the protection of the
fisheries. Such conference, the state
department officials say. would proba-
bly, have for its chief aim the adoption
of identical rules relating to the tax
ing of fish and not the esta blishing of
common hatcheries. The subject of
hate heries, however. might reasonably
be made a matter of conference be-
tween the state and provincial author
titles. but the sentiment of the Cana
dians seems to he against the project
of maintaining these hatcheries as
joint enterprise. 1t is suggested by the
state department officials that any uni
form rules and regulations which
might be agreed upon for the mainten-
ance of hatcheries by the Americans
and other hatcheries by the Canadians
would prove beneficial.
