THEY RETIRE RAPIDLY
The st. Petersburg Dispatch Says thai
this Retrograde Movement is Car

kin's Base for Him to Check
Russian Pursuit with Re-
Inducements.
Inducements.
(By the Associated Press. }

st. Petersburg, May 20.-Following
nthe heels of the news disasters to
the Japanese fleet the general staff to-
day received official advices of the
defeat of the Japanese force which
was marching northward from Feng
Wang Cheng for the purpose of exc
cutting a flank movement on Mukden.
Since General Kuroki sent his coll
umn northward to gain the road lead
ing directly west of Mukden, General
Kuropatkin has kept it under the clos
est surveillance, awaiting the moment
when it should be SO distant from the
main Japanese army as to prevent its
early reinforcement. Observing this
plan the Russians withdrew and the
japanese not finding a strong force of
the enemy before them, continued to
advance.
When the time for action came Cen
eral KurOpatkin let General Rennen-
kamoff loose from leash. General
,Renneenkamoff had under his COM
mand only a few regiments, but they
were the over of the Cossack cavalry,
On May Is he fell upon the enemy,
whose number has not yet been r,
vealed, with such vigor as to compel
the Japanese retirement II miles to-
ward the base, near enough, it is pre-
sumed, to have received reinforce
mentS from General kurOki, who i'm
mediately must have been relieved of
an awkward predicament. The oper-
alton is described by the general staff
as just such a move as it was expect
ed General Kuropatkin would make
and for which General RennenkamoH
was fitted and chosen. The casualties
sustained by the opposing forces have
not yet been announced.
Kurol1i's Caution Explained.
APPREHENSION of RennenkamOff's s
Cossacks lowering north. the authorl-
ties say may explain the cautious ac-
ton of General Kuroki4in establishing
a strong base at Fenp Wang Cheng
and halting the column which was
marching on Hal Cheng 1t may, also
be a solution of the mystery of New
ChWang. which at first was reported to
have evacuated and which is now said
TO be re-occupied by the Russians, for
if Kuroki has definitely stopped his
westward movement Kuropatkin could
safely continue to hold it without dan
ger of the occupying force being cut
off.
The general staff took occasion to-
day to deny the report of a battle
having been fought at Kai Chou in
which two hundred Russians were
killed. AS matter of fact the Rus
slams quietly withdrew from Kai Chou,
being unwilling to expose their force
at that point to the attack of a col
umn marching from the east-that
landed in southern Lao Tung.
The report that Kuropatkin has sent
10000 men to relieve Port Arthur is
declared by the general staff to be in
credible.
That the Japanese will strain every
nerve to take Port Arthur in view of
the disaster to their eet is not ques-
toned in naval circles and in spite of
the danger of Russian mines Admiral
Togo is expected to cooperate in the
assault upon Port Arthur.

Were There More Than Two?
(By the Associated Press


st. Petersburg, May 20.-(3 a. m. y
The loss of at least two Japanese war
ships is officially confirmed. A mes
sage dated Port Arthur received by
carrier pigeon at Mukden, was trans
mitted to the Emperor early yesterday
morning, saying that two Japanese
warShips had been lost off that port.
The message followed the Emperor to
Koursk and no one here knew it's con-
tents until late last night when for
eign kilograms brought full details of
the Japanese loss.
Early in the afternoon reports of
the sinking of the Shikishima and the
Full on the authority of Russian refu-
gees from Dalny began to circulate and
aroused the most intense interest.
When later confirmation came of the
sinking of two Japanese warships the
greatest enthusiasm was manifested.
Without reference to it's effect on the
campaign the people attribute the enc
my'S disaster to divine interpoSition in
the Russian cause.
In naval circles, the Japanese cataS-
trophe is matter for rejoicing, though
regrets are expressed that brave men
have lost their lives. But this feeling
of sympathy is swallowed up in the
greater thanksgiving for the blow in
flicted on the sea power of the enemy.

warships at intervals of a few days
cannot fail to deeply affect Japan
and to influence the campaign.

The general staff tonight is with
| out direct news of the sinking of the
Shikishima and the Fuji, but there is an
| impression that it may be true. The re-
! ports at any rate, have infused fresh
life and enthusiasm into official circles.
where it is believed that the tide has
| turned.
| No surprise is expressed by the ad-
miralty at the Japanese vessels Strik-
| ing Russian mines, the admiralty ex-
pecting such mishap to Vice Admiral
Togo particularly since the naval COM
manders at Port Arthur have faith
fully duplicated his plan which re-
suited in the sinking of the Petropav-
| lovsk Wherever off Port Arthur the
| Japanese squadron appeared during
| the day. that same night Russian tor
| pedo boats stole out and carefully
planted contact mines, which, floating
| below the surface, would not be
| touched by the destroyers, but ships
| of heavier draught cruising in the
mine fields would be sure to strike
| them. The favorite point selected by
| the japanese for bombardments of
| Port Arthur is Liao-Ti-Shan promon-
tory, and the water there has been
! thckly sown with Russian mines. 9th
| er points besides Liao-Ti-Shan have
also been mined and it has been dan
gerous for the Japanese ships to cruise
| in those waters.

RISE TO BATTLE
AGAINST UNION
Strong Opposition in the
Cumberland Church.
QUESTION UPTUESDAY
Reports Before the Southern Assem-
bly, Show that this has been the
Most Successful Year on
Record. Contributions Un-
usually Large.
(By the Associated Press }

Dallas, Texas, May 20.-It became
easily evident at today's session of
the general assembly of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church here that the
plan to unite that body with the Pres
byterian church of the United States
of America will meet with consider
able opposition.
The first brush between the union
and non-union forces of the assembly
came this morning at the close of the
report on that matter by the Commit
tee on Fraternity and Union. Since
the printing of the original report, a
supplemental report has been prepared
stating the reasons whv the Commit
tee on Fraternity and Union favored
the union of the churches. DR.. w. H.
Black, president of the Missouri Valley
college, Marshall, Mo-, chairman of the
committee from the Cumberland
church, had not proceeded far when
he was interrupted by vigorous pro-
test filed by the anti-unionists, who
declared the contents of the supple
mentary report unknown to them and
they limited that it would be used as
an argument against their side of the
question.

Dignity Takes a Day OF.

For a time the assembly, heretofore
dignified, took on the color of a politi-
cal meeting, where partisans are in
strong opposition. A number of OBJ
jections were filed by the anti-union-
lists to the hearing of the report. the
latter element being managed by
Judge j. H. Russell of Columbia,
Tennessee. 1t was finally ruled, how
ever, by Judge Settle, the moderator,
that the supplementary report be
hear, and was read.
Briefly, this report simply refers to
the main report in an analytical man
ner, showing historically the move
ment for the union of the churches,
declaring that the condition tending
in other lines toward ombinatiOn
should apply to religious bodies and
placing particular stress upon the
claim that PreSbyterianism and pro-
testantism are on trial before the
world. The supplementary report as
we'll as the main report were received
and spread upon the minutes. 1t was
agreed that the discussion of the union
proposition be taken up at ten o'clock
Tuesday morning
The remainder of the day was al
most entirely devoted to routine re-
ports.
