NO MEDIATION.
The Japanese-Russo War Will Be De-
cided on Its Merits.

London, June 3.-Rumors of media
ton in the Russo-Japanese war have
found no confirmation in diplomatic
quarters.
The foreign office characteriZes the
report that mediation is pending in the
immediate future as rubbish" Baron
Hayashi, who as Japan's senior minis
ter and most powerful representative
abroad, would be the first to hear Of
any such move, says:
mot a whisper of mediation has
reached me. For us to stay our hands
at this moment would be senseless fol-
ly. Russia appears to be in a serious
dilemma. She has not enough men in
the field to cope with our various
points of attack. If she brings the re-
Inducements that Gen. Kuropatkin so
much needs she cannot feed them.
II do not credit. the rumor in Rome
of Gen. KurOpatkin's defeat, although
during the next few days news of a
battle may come at any moment. 1t
seems evident that Kuropatkin intends
to fight at Lao Yang. I believe he
has decided to do this not so much
from n military point of view as be-
cause of the pressure from the court
and political circles at st. Petersburg.
about n month is likely to elapse

New Chwang, June 3.-Morning.-
Every effort on the part of the Rus

ern part Of the Lao Tung peninsula
has resulted in failure. The Japanese
are in control of M avenues of commu-

daily growing more depressed at the
outlook.
An officer of high rank, who has ar
rived here from Mukden, spoke as fol-
lows concerning Gen. Kuropatkin: He
is awakening to the fact that the Jap
anese are worthy of praise" He de-
clares that their recent operations
prove them to be among the greatest
strategists in the world and to this
must be added great daring, capacity
for work and ability to stand punish

GEN. STOESSEL'S REPORT.
Official Statement of Russian Losses
at Kin Chou.

st. Petersburg, June 3.-5.35 P. M
The Russian losses in the fighting at
Kin Chou are officially stated to be
80 officers and 700 men killed or
wounded. These figures We're given in
General Stoessers report which has
reached the war Office.
Tho report is dated May %. The
method of it's transmission to Viceroy
AleXieff is not disclosed but it is pre-
sumed it was taken by n Chinese junk
to New Chwang. Evidently it was
written under stress as it was hastily
pencilled. The account says the at
tack began May q. and eliminated on
the evening of May &c. The real fight
ing was practically confined to May 25
and May &c, the Japanese remaining
quiet the two previous days.
Gen. Stoessel reports that owing to
the absence of the support of war;

the Russian positions on Nanshan Hill,
during the evening of May &c, he ut

The general explains that the order

promptness in retreat, which he says,
was carried out with great GOODNESS.
thus accounting for the smallness of
the Russian losses. Gen. StOessel also
says the enemy's losses must have run
far into the thousands, the Japanese
mortality in storming Nanshan hill be-
ing frightful.
General Stoessel pays a high tribute
to the Russian troops and he refers in
terms of warmest praise to the skill
and and courage displayed by Gen.
Fock, whom he recommends for the st.
Georges cross. He does not mention
that Fock was wounded. from which
the general staff assumes that the re-
port to this effect was untrue. AS Gen.
Stoessel especially praises no regiment
which was in Gen. Fock's division the
general staff concluded therefrOm that

WEAK RESISTANCE.
Continued from page ~

such a movement. It can be authorita-
lively stated that the Emperors conf
dence in Kuropatkin is mistaken and
His Majesty is not attempting to in
terfere with his plan of campaign.
While no such army has been dis
patched southwark, it is natural that
Kuropatkin will do all possible to
harass Gen. Oku's rear.
The railroad has been kept open so
far as Vafangow, % miles above Kin
Chou, and it is not unlikely that when
the japanese have failed to push
through line across the head of the
Lao Tung peninsula that several thou
sand Russian troops may be sent down
the railroad to impede the Japanese
operations and infiict as much damage
withdrawn by railroad if the enemy
threatened to cut the line of commu-
nications above.
The impression is being thrown out
in certain quarters here that Kuropat-
kin Is about to take the offensive ana
that an ensa cement with Kuroki is
imminent. But, SO far as can be as
certained, there is no solid foundation
for this. 1t is upGuestionable. how
ever. that the railroad is pouring
troops into Manchuria at the rate of
almost $500 day, and it will not be
long at the present rate before the
Russian commander-in-ch will at
least be on equal terms with any force
the enemy can bring against him.
The general staff is keeping very
dark about the whereabouts and pur-
poses Of the Cossacks reported to be
working around Kurokis rear and the
number of the raiders operating IN
Corea.
