RUSSIAN PLANS ARE UPSET.

Gen. KUroI<i's Vigilance Causing
Them to Lose Heart and Interest.
New Chwang, June 24.-(Via Mes
senger to Koupantze.-The Russians
seem unable to reform their plans,
which have been upset by Gen. XII
roki, and are losing interest and heart
in the struggle. The local censor is
not passing any communications. The
secret police are extra diligent, and it
is extremely hazardous to attempt to
send out uncensored dispatches.
New Chwang is filled with rumors of
mere fighting to the southwark. The
reports come from native sources. A
few Russian officers, who talk guard
eddy, say the rumors are untrue, but
that Gen. Kuropatkin intends to make
q determined stand at Kai-Chou, where
many mines have been laid and
trenches constructed.
The field telegraph between Kali
Chou and New Chwang, which was
finished Wednesday, has been cut in
three places and five miles of the wire
carried away. 1t is supposed to have
been the work of Chinese in the pay
of the Japanese.
This is regarded as evidence that the
Russians can not hope for the friend
ship of the Manchurians.
Large bands of robbers are giving the
Russian outposts much trouble north
east of New Chwang. The japanese,
it is said, have supplied the robbers
with 1000 modern rifles and much am
munition.
Foreign military attaches who wit
messed the fighting at Feng-Wang-
Cheng declare that the Japanese ar
tillery is superb, and that the Japan
ese army is equal to the best of Euro
pean troops.
There are 800 wounded at the Rus
sian camp three miles east of New
Chwang. A few surgeons and members
of the Red Cross have arrived. Many
more are needed. The local physicians
are Offering assistance but the Rus
slams decline to receive their aid.
Viceroy Alexieff has issued a procla-
nation to the effect that all traffic on
the Lao river south of Mukden must
stop, and that foodstuffs must be de-
livered to the Russians. According to
native reports, the Russians are losing
thousands of horses from CHAMBERS.

For u R~ehearing.

fences of the supreme court and make
no further fight. Friday was the last
