MOVEMENTS OF FORCES
REPORTED TO THE STAFF.

st. Petersburg, May 15.-Lieut. Gen
Sakharoff has sent the following re-
port to the general staff, dated Lao
Yang, May Ia
The enemy's advance guard on May
u reached Touintsou, on the road be-
tween Feng Wang Cheng and Liao
Yang. Our two sotnias of Cossacks
retired towards the village of Kant
stendiantig.
The Japanese force of three battal-
ions of infantry, ten guns and two
squadrons of cavalry from Setudlichan
on the road to Mao Tien pass was on
May IL in Tafanoon valley. Since then
there has been no news of the move
ments Of the force, which leads to the
conclusion that it has branched off
westward towards Hal Cheng.
"A detachment of the Japanese van
guard left Touintsou May Is south
ward and was pursued by our Cos
sacks, who exchanged shots with the
japanese rear guard for half an hour
and having in the meantime discovered
ar ambush prepared by the Japanese
retired.
Our scouts ascertained that a Jap
anese force of two regiments of in
fantry, eight guns and three squadrons
of cavalry had approached Linda
Poutse and Enrtaeoufan.
Our line of patrols between Lans
Chan Houan and Saimadza had skir-
mish with Chinese bandits, in which
three Cossacks and three horses were
killed, three Cossacks slightly wound
ed, and four missing.
Measures are being taken to clear
this district of Chinese bandits.
The enemys scouts have appeared
about nineteen miles southeast of Mao
Tien pass.
"All IS quiet on the road from Stu
Yen to the pass.
"A reconnaissance to Ching Tai-Tsze
did not discover any considerable num-
ber of the enemy.
According to Chinese reports Taku-
shan and Ching-Tai-Tsze are occupied
by small Japanese detachments of 500
each. Stronger forces at Sitouktchidge,
twelve miles northwest of Takushan.
Returning to Siu-Yen the reconnoit-
ering party had a skirmish with a small
Japanese patrol. One japanese dra-
goon was killed and one Cossack was
wounded.
There is no news from Silitchinai-
putss.
"On May a detachment of nearly a
thousand Japanese advanced seven
miles north of Polandien. Another de
tachment of 300 infantry and half a
squadron of cavalry advanced by o
flanking movement to Wafan Tien.
The troops guarding the frontier
are slowly retiring northward, holding
the enemy.
ION Nav 13 a force of 300 Chinese
bandits attacked the mine at Yantai.
The bandits were repelled by a sotnla
of the frontier guards and a company
of infantry, losing thirty men. They
retired in the direction of Lao Yang
and a detachment OF chasseurs was
sent to cut them off.
"At noon the following day, accord
ing to information received. strong
forces of Japanese were seen in locali-
ties twelve miles west of Eiao Yang.

JAPANESE ARE MOVING
AGAINST 0-YANG.

St. Petersburg, May 15.-The military
movements which have been officially
reported are considered as of minor inn
portance in themselves, but they in
dicate preparations for a determined
concentration by the Japanese against
Liao-Yang. -
The Russky Invalid, the army or
gan, says: -
I'VE believe that two Japanese divis-
ions are moving forward from Feng-
Wang Cheng on the Lao Yang road.
The presence of a large force of ar
tillery at Siu-Yen about fifty-fve miles
southwest of Feng- -Wang-Cheng may
indicate a Japanese intention or FORTH
fying that place so as to protect the
left flank of their base of operations,
which probably is now included in a
ouadrilateral bounded by lines connect
ing Siu-Yen, Takushan, Feng-Wang-
Cheng and Antung. The advancing
lines are probably connected with Jap
anese bases through Chantadzy on the
road leading to Pitsewo and WiJu and
Anil into Korea"
There are continual reports of skir-
mishing with Chinese bandits along
the Japanese front and these are con-
sidered more serious than the mere
numbers engaged indicate. 1t is fear
ed that flying columns of brigands will
form a serious menace to the Russian
communications, and will not fail to
incite the whole Chinese population to
overt acts if they are convinced that
the Japanese are winning the fight

SENTIMENT FOR NIAGARA

He Does Not Want to See the Beauty
OF the Falls Mnrred.
Albany, N. Y, May 15.-Gov. Odell
tonight gave out his memorandum ex-
planning his veto of bill enlarging
the scope and powers of the Niagara,
Lockport and Ontario Power Com
paEy.
After giving practical reasons for
the veto of this bill, Gov. odell calls at
tention to the widespread solicitude
expressed in protests from all over the
Union as to threatened impairment to
the beauty of Niagara Falls.
However much we may discount
and deprecate the interference OF the
sentimental with the practical in life,"
the Governor said I'VE cannot get
away from the fact that this sentiment
is not one of retrogression, but of
constant progression In civilized life
There is due TO 1t, therefore, the same
consideration which should be given
to all political affairs OF life. This
seems to me to be second and fully
as important a reason for objection to
approval of this measure.
THE Legislature should protect the
Fails rather than increase the menace
to which | have referred by restrict
ing those corporations which are al
ready in possession, by compelling the
removal of constructions and unsightly
structures which mar the beauty of
Niagara"

KILLED SWARM OF BANDITS;
NO LOSS TO RUSSIANS,

Lao Yang, Saturday, May H.-(De-
layed in transmission.)- .)-chinese ban
dts are becoming bolder and are caus-
ing considerable trouble TO the Rus
sian outposts. A swarm of the bandits
at noon on May 13 attacked the coal
mines on the branch lines east Of
Yanti station, ten miles north OF Lao
Yang. The mines, which supply the
whole section, were guarded by 200
rlnemen and 100 cossacks.
In a fierce fight the Russians re-
PEELED the bandits and then charged
them, the bandits fleeing to the hills
and to three neighboring villages. The
troops surrounded the villages and de-
rnanded the surrender of the bandits.
The surrender was at first refused,
but, fearing that the Russians would
destroy their homes. the villagers nm
ally revealed the hiding places of the
fugitives. The bandits fought with the
desperation OF entrapped rats, and
most of them were speared and killed
The Russians suffered no loss.
Among seventeen prisoners taken by
the troops were two japanese officers,
VINO had escaped from the Russians.

Augusta, May 15.-Charley Cumming,
a negro, 10 years old, was taken from
Jail at Appling, Columbia county, TWEEN
ty miles from Augusta, shortly after II
o'clock this morning and lynched by a
mob of rs to 100 masked men.
Early last week Cumming entered
the bedroom of a young lady living
near Appling, and attacked her in her
bed. She managed to cry out and Cum
ming fled.
A posse was organized in the neigh
borhood and dogs tracked Cumming to
his home. He denied all knowledge of
the crime, but his shoes that he had
left under the young lady's window iii
his hurried departure, were produced
and he confessed all. Lynching was
narrowly averted at the time of the
capture.
The solicitor general of the judicial
circuit hurried to the settlement where
the crime was committed and guaran-
teed a speedy trial if the negro was
not lynched.
1t was thought everything was salts
factorily arranged and the early Sum
day morning hanging was great sur
prise.

caused the utmost bewilderment among
al parties in both halves of the mon
archy, more especially since the ru-

Although the rumors fell far short
of the amount of the actual demands,
nobody is able to understand the gov

several years, but it is supposed that

WENTZ TELLS THE JURY
THAT HE DID NOT SAY IT.
Did Not Intimate That 1t Tried to
Shield Murdcrers.

Knoxville Tenn, May 15.--A special
to the Journal and Tribune from Bris-
tol, Tenn, says:
''The coroner's jury. which rendered
a verdict of accidental shooting in
the case of Edward L. Wentz, whose
dead body was found in Wise county,
Virginia, several days ago, this after
noon received a reply from DR.. Wentz
in regard to the alleged criminal
charge in relation to the finding of the
jury. Mr.. Wentz makes due apology
to the jury. declaring that he did not
use such terms as was credited to
him in some newspaper dispatches. Dr.
Wentz was credited with intimating
that the verdict was intended to shield
the murderers of his son, who were
friends of the jury.
None stand better in Wise county
than the men who served on the Wentz
jury of inquest, and in the absence Of
an apology from DR.. Wentz a damage
suit would have resulted.
THAT Edward Wentz made a will is
known positively, but nothing can be
learned as to when it will be probat-
ed, except thas 1t will be in due
time"

ly established intention with our al

Lao Yang, Saturday, May IA. ODE
laved in tran smission)) ))-The Russian
feet scored its first distinct naval sue
cess of the war on May 10, by the tor
pedoing and Gripping, though not the
sinking, of an armored Japanese cruiser
in Talien Wan bay.
The Russian attack was successful
~ planned on May 10, while the jap
anese squadron was concentrating out
side Dalny, devoting it's whole at
tention to Talien Wan bay, and was
carried out the same night.
The attacking force was not reg
uar torpedo boat, but was only a
small naphtha launch in command of
young officer who had with him three
jac1ies. The launch mounted small
machine gun and carried three tor
pedoes. 40 s
When darkness fell the launch crept
out of Port Arthur, hugging the shore
with. no lights aboard and no glow
from the engine to betray her presence.
1t was late when she gained the outer
line of the japanese squadron. Slip
ping through the torpedo boat pick
cts, and selecting the nearest warship,
d big armored cruiser, she stole to-
ward her and succeeded in exploding
against her side a. single torpedo.
A. deafening roar followed the ex-
plosion, which reached far ashore :;
Flames senveloped the cruiser, which
evidently was badly crippled.
The crew of the cruiser was seen
to be fighting the fire, which they at
last succeeded in extinguishing. sis
ter ship took the damaged vessel in
tow and disappeared to the southeast.
The launch escaped the hot fire
directed against her by the Japanese
ships, but being unable to run to Port
Arthur or to get to Dalny she was
beached, not far from Dalny.
Only few of the higher officers
were. aware of the plan, the success
of which depended upon secrecy. The
achievement. raised the spirits of the
Russians afioat and ashore, and the
young naval officer, who was the hero
of the exploit, was feted and recon-
mended for the cross of st. George.
The Russians on May II, apprehend-
ing that the presence of a Japanese
squadron meant an attempt to capture
Dalny, blew up, the. piers and quietly
evacuated the place.
Two thousand japanese have reoc-
cupied the road to Sanchilipu, again
cutting off Port Arthur. A strong force
IS advancing against Polandien.
