Kuroki Throws His
Forces Across

LIAOYANG, Sept. General Ku-

ing, under cover of a heavy lombard
ment of the extreme Russian left. The
Japanese artillery, which has been fir
ing uninterruptedly for fourteen hours.
ceased at. daylight this morning and
then resumed at IL o'clock, to conceal
Kuroki's preparations for crossing the
river. These preparations necessitated
the establishment of a ponteon bridge
as the river was not fordable lower
than Sakankankwantun. and the pom
toons must have been fioated down the
stream.
The efforts of the Japanese to cross
the river on August 30 were not sue
cessful, and General Kuroki therefore
ordered portion of his army to ford
it at Sakankankwantun.
General Kuropatkin was unable to
prevent the passage, owing to the dis
tance from Liaoyang, about twenty
miles, but for the same reason the Jap
aaese were unable to bring the forces
ately into action.
hurOpdtkln neard Oh the passage OF
the Taitse at Sakankankwantun after
6 o'clock on the evening of August 81
and Immediately gave orders for his
men to fall back on the outer positions
This move is explained by the desire to
collect a strong force with which to re-
pei a fanking movement from the
northeast.
The Japanese repeated the attempt to
throw pontoons across the Taitse near
Liaoyang during the night of August
81, again under cover OF a lombard
ment and this attempt was successful.
Severe fighting may therefore be ex-
pected Immediately northeast Of the
city.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. 1.-Two
negroes were drowned here to-day
while on an excursion from Brooklyn.
This was the climax to many troubles
which befell the excursionists Of a col
ored business mems association of
Kings County. They came to Oyster
Bay 500 strong and were indignant
when they ascertained that the Presi
dent would not give the slightest recog-
milton to them. They had sent dele
CATION in advance to ask if the Presi-
dent would not receive them at Saga
more HILL This was denied.
Then the negroes asked if the Presi-
dent could not informally call to see
them down in the village of Oyster Bay
on their picnic grounds. The President
was too busy.
The leaders of the excursion party
did not hesitate to say that they
thought the President had sighted
them. The secret service force was
doubled about Sycamore Hill while the
negroes were here.

Armies Fate Rests
on To-Day's
Combat.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. ., 1:26 a.
m.-The news of the evacuation of
Liaoyang and the withdrawal of the
Russian army to the right bank of the
Taitse River reached only a small sec
ton of the people of St Petersburg at
a late hour and caused intense excite
ment and. disappointment.
The majority of the inhabitants re-
tired to rest, believing that Russian
arms had again been. successful and
that the japanese attacks had been re-
PEELED Ugly suspicious. however have
been rife during the day owing to the
absence of press kilograms from Lao
yang, leading to the belief that the
communications had been cut by Cen
eral Kuroki.
The following statement was OBJ
tanned from the War Office at 10
o'clock Thursday night:
General Kuroki's armv crossed in
force to the right bank of the Taitse
River and it therefore became neces-
sary for the Russians to be in a posi-
ton 10 repel a blow in this direction.
In view of this development in the
operations General Kuropatkin decided
to abandon his positions on the left
bank and to concentrate his whole
army on the other side of the river.
This position is the stronger both in
character and in site. The great issue
will be finally decided there.
by Withdrawing to this position the
Russian army avoids the danger of be-
ing divided by the river and enjoys the
advantage of compactness.
General KuroDatkin's move, there
fore, is not to be considered as a re-
treat, but rather as the carrying out of
a well-def1ned idea"
The withdrawal of the Russians to
the right bank involved the abandon
ment of Liaoyang, which is situated on
the left bank. The Japanese took adj
vantage of this to occupy the city, but
the sternest part of the lighting is still
before them, unless General Kuropat-
kin decides. at the last hour, to again

JAPANESE SAVE

Yankee Skipper, Unaware of
Hostiiities, Runs Into Dan

Special Dispatch to The Cali.


PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1.-After
Having girdIed the globe twenty times,
captain d. H. Rivers has reached here
from Yokohama and Hawaii in the
clipper ship A G. Roper He brings
Il 900 bags Of raw sugar.
The. veteran skipper has sailed
a'reund. cape Horn fifty times. He ex-
Irscts 10 course the. seas for many
:. eals TO. come.
=. Captain Rivers began at New York
the voyage just ended here. He reached
Yokohama on February is last. took
abeard a Japanese pilot and went in
Under fill sail in the wake of two
5teanships. The American skipper
DID not suspect. there was any out
break Of liostdlities between Japan and
Russia until a shot from one Of the
forts whistled across his bow. A Jap
anese. dispatch boat came out and nj
loled the clipper clear Of the mines
which had been laid in the harbor..
Two Russians were in the crew Of
the clipper. The doggedness Of the
Japanese pilot in going into the har-
bor without waiting for a dispatch
boat afterward convinced the Amer
leans that the japanese pilot had in
tended TO sail over a mine and blow
the two Russians to kingdom come.
Captain Rivers says it is the general
opinion in the Far East that
trouble between Japan and the United
States over the Philippines will soon
follow naturally in case the Japanese
whip the Russians.
