Which Side LOST
EIGHT HUNDRED !?
A st. Petersburg Dispatch Tells Of
the Humiliation of Two Jap
anese Battalions.
A new CHWANG DISPATCH TELLS
OF RUSSIAN LOSS OF 800 men.
Neither Report is Official, But Each
Tells of Catching the Enemy I'm a
Trnp-Japanese Operations Near
Feng-Wang-ChenE are Mystify-
ing the Russians.

St. Petersburg, June 13.-The Japan
csc advance of columns north and
south of Feng- Wang-C heng is causing
considerable mystification. The pre-
ponderance of military opinion still
inclines to the belief that the move
ments in both directions are feints, al
though the opinion that Gen. KurOki
has begun a serious advance by both
TANKS against Liao-Yang does not lack
supporters.
Renewed SIxirmishing.
Renewed skirmishing is reported in
the neignDorhood of Siu-Yen, but there
is no confirmation, officially, of the
engagement reported as having oc-
CURED 80 miles southeast of Hal
Cheng, in the direction of the Feng-
Wang Cheng road, which was reported
to have resulted in the loss of two
Japanese battalions. Should this report
turn out to be true, it would show
that the Japanese are advancing to-
ward Hai-Cheng by two roads, as the
column reported engaged must have
been different from the one which
drove out the Russians from Siu-Yen
on the road further south.
Extreme Reticence Manifested.
Absolute confirmation is not obtain
able of the report that Gen. Kuropat-
kin is dispatching troops from Mukden
against the enemy's right. Extreme
reticence is manifested at the war Of
flee regarding the military situation,
which is generally interpreted as fore
important developments in
the immediate future. While the i'm
minence of a decisive battle between
the two main armies is distinctly dis
couraged, news of fighting of a rather
heavy character is anticipated. The
lack of official dispatches from Kuro-
patkin during the last 4S hours is re-
garded as significant.

New Railroad for pyersburs.

Plans have been perfected and
rights of way all secured for a new
railroad to run east from Dyers-
burg. The new road will run up
Forked Deer river from Dyersburg
for a distance of about ten miles,
and is built with a view of hauling
timber from Forked Deer bottom.
Messrs. Ferguson & Palmer, a lum-
Der concern of Paducah, KY, who
have operated extensively in Dyer
county, are at the head of the pro-
ject, having bought nearly 100000
worth of timber in that section.
Contracts have been made and work
will begin at once on the road, and
if plans are carried OUT, will be fin
ished this year. The extension of
this road to Trenton has been talked
of, and it is thought to be the cheap
est way of connecting the Mobile &
Ohio with the Illinois Central at Dy-
ersburg, as the country is practically
level over which the road would go.
