cisive battle of the united armies of

Cars Scouts Narrow Escape.
Liaoyang, June 25.-Captain Won
Lang and 26 volunteer scouts have re-
joined the command, arriving here on
foot after hot skirmish with the Jap
anese rear guard. Won Lang and the
command started out on horse back to
investigate the movements of the ene-
my. They rode clear around the Jap
anese advance and gained important
information regarding the Japanese
position. When in the rear of the Jap
anese main body they were discovered
and surrounded by two squadrons of
cavalry but cut their way through with
sabres and poignards, losing five men.
Nearly all their horses were scattered.
They escaped to the hills where the
Japanese cavalry was unable to follow
them and they succeeded in rejopining
their colors with much valuable infor-
nation. Reinforcements are constant
ly arriving at Liaoyang.
Port Arthur Attacked.
Chefoo, June 25.-Another demon
stration took place off Port Arthur
yesterday. Firing began from the
forts about 10 a. III. and continued till
/ p. m. The program was about the
same as on the previous day. The
destroyers and torpedo boats pursued
the same tactics and an auxiliary
cruiser lay off the islands until the
firing had ceased when 1t proceeded
eastward at full speed.
Night 5ombardment Fierce.
At $50 the same evening firing be-
gan heavily from the bluff, with much
activity of the searchlights indicat
ing the approach of torpedo craft. A
little later the sound of more distant
| firing was heard, evidently from the
land side Of Port Arthur, continuing
until 2:30 in the morning with brief
renewal at a. m During that peri
cd there was an almost uninterrupted
thunder as of field guns and volley
firing, punctuated with crashes as of
siege guns.
Capture Blockade Runners.
1t is probable that what took place
was a general shore action with a ma
val demonstration. 1t seems as
though the Japanese intend to wear
out the defenders by this continued
night activity before making the final
simultaneous sea and land attack.
| Many junks have been held up within
the past few days for attempting to
run the blockade. Their contraband
goods are thrown overheard in all
cases.
Praise for New Chiefs.
Toxic, June 25.-Reports that the
Japanese armies have captured Lao
yang are not confirmed and are
thought here to be premature. The
appointment Of Marquis Oyama to the
supreme command of the imperial
forces in Manchuria with Lieutenant.
General Kodama as his chief OF STAFF
is heartily welcomed here They are
the right men in the right places and
are really the brains Of the Japanese
army. They are commonly compared
to Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener
in the South African campaign.
