ize in Manchuria.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg, May 1S.-6:40 p.
m.-Confirming the intimations that it
is General Kuropatkin's purpose to
avoid a decisive combat with the ia
panese at the present stage of the
war, the statement was made by the
general staff today that the command
er-in-chief is making preparations to
fall back on Mukden and then on
Harbin.
While the superior numbers of the
enemy compel a retirement it does not
follow that General Kuropatkin will
not strike a singing blow should Il
strategical mistake be made which
will enable him to throw n stronger
army upon one of the advancing col
umns of his antagonists. The most
exposed portions of ueneral Kurokfs
command is that which moved direct
ly northward, evidently with the in
ton of gaining the road to Mukden,
down which it will march as soon as
the other columns are within sup
porting distance. Unless caution, here
tofore the conspicuous feature of the
Japanese campaigns, is observed, this
column, it is believed here, Will fall
the victim of it's temerity,as General
Kuropatkin is known to be holding it
especially under close surveillance.
Kuropatkin's decision to withdraw
from Liao-Yane can only mean, ac-
cording to the experts that there will
continue to be affairs of outposts un-
less another General Zassalitch should
develop. The controlling strategic
point at Hai-Cheng, win not be held,
as believed, KuLopatkin deciding it to
be unwise to isotate more troops, who
would not be.nS, as Wel supplied as
those at Port Arthur, find it difficult
to subsist until relief arrived This
is one of the reasons that dictates the
withdrawal of the Russians from New
Chwang, official details of which have
not yet been made public. The eX-
perts say that the debarkation of
japanese at New Chwang at this time
would be nothing more nor less than d
strategical blunder, advantageous to
the Russians; as they are still holding
the railroad and could rush a force
there, fall on the japanese and retire
before a column sent by General Ku-
roki could get between them and Lao
Yang. The opinion therefore prevails
that the Japanese will not occupy New
Chwang until Kurokis calumns arrive
at Hal Cheng or it's immediate vicin-
ity.
The General staff confirms the an
nouncements of the abandonment of
Kin-Chou by the Russians after the
dismantling of the force and the re-
moval of the guns to Port Arthur

Landing of Second japanese Army.
(By the Associated Press.)

Toxic, May $3.50 D. m.-The
official report of the landing of the
second Japanese army has been re-
ceived here. 1t is as follows:
"The army arrived at the prear-
ranged place on May 5, and under
cover of the navy began landing at 8
o'clock in the morning. None of the
enemy was observed. According to
native reports there were about 800
of the enemy at Pulandien, 100 on the
Pitsewo road, 800 at PitseWo and six
hundred in front of the landing place.
Immediately detachments were sent
to Pitsewo to destroy the telegraph
lines and to Pulandien to destroy the
railroad.
con May q detachment of our
men dispersed small detachments of
the enemy from the eminence south
of Pulandien and from the railroad
station to the southwest Simultane~
ously the engineers destroyed the
bridge and the telegraph line. The
enemy who were dispersed had 800
infantry and 100 cavalry. Our loss
was one killed and four men wounded.
Two hundred of the enemy's cavalry
posted at Pitsewo retired and without
resistance we cut the wire ana cap
tured the instruments

DESTROY the railroad and telegraph
wire between Pulandien and Sanchili-
pu. This detachment disposed the en-
emy's cavalry, one hundred strong and
cut the railroad and the wires to the
northeast of Sanchilipu in two places.
One lieutenant and three men were

The Washington correspondent of

that promises more litigation or la

'"The interesting information de-
Veloped here today that a syndicate
is being organized for the purpose of
buying up repudiated bonds of South
ern States, most of which were issued
by the carpet-b baggers. The pro-
moters of the scheme got their cue
from the decision in the Dakota case,
and it is understood to be their in
tention to gather UP all these now
worthless securities with the object of
making a test in each case before the
Supreme court ofthe United States.
In fact, it is said that great many
of the old bonds have already been
collected by the syndicate, which is
promoting the speculative venture,
The work has been going on very
quietly for some weeks, so it is said.

BARRED AGAINST WOMEN.
Use Of Female Voices in Catholic
ChOirs Must Cease.
(By the Associated Press. }


Augusta, Ga, May 1S.-A special
from Savannah, Ca, to the Chronicle
says
Bishop Kiely, of the Catholic dio-
cese of Georgia, tonight mailed to
each of the churches in his jurisdic-
ton a letter directing that under the
recent order of the Pope the use of fe-
male voices in Catholic choirs should
cease. The change must be effective
by January /, 1905. Bishop Kiely says
that Catholics cannot blind themselves
to the fact that the Popes words were
intended for them nor to the fact
that there is need for a great change
in church music. Everything pro-
fame in matter and form in the church
music, he says should be excluded. The
highest degree of perfection is church
music. the bishop says, is the Grego-
rian chant and therefore the music OF
the church should approch it.
