RUSSIANS WERE DEFEATED.

st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE en-
peror has received from Gen. Kuro-
patkin the following telegram, dated
June 8:
The Japanese bombardment June
s of the coast between Senyuchen and
Kaiping caused no loss of life nor ma
terial damage, although a consider
able number of shells were fired.
June Z the Japanese continued
their march toward Siuyen by the
Takushan and Feng- Wang -Cheng
roads. Their advance guard did not
appear nearer than Ave miles south
and east of Siuyen. On the morning
of June Japanese infantry brigade,
two mountain batteries and five squad
rons of cavalry marched against Stu
yen. About IL o'clock the Japanese
appeared before the town on the south
side, but were checked by very sue
cessful fire from our batteries.
Japanese infantry then began ad-
vancing against the town from the
east by the Feng- Wang -Cheng road
and came in contact with the Cos
sacks holding the pass. After two
hours fighting the Cossacks were
obliged to retire and our artillery
opened fire along the pass, not allow
ing the Japanese to establish them
selves. At this moment a Japanese
mountain battery arrived and took a
position to the south. but after firing
a few rounds was silenced by our
battery. A second Japanese battery
did not succeed in getting into action,
but was compelled to evacuate it's po-
sition under the fire of our guns.
"In the course of the fight flank
ing movement by several battalions
of Japanese infantry was observed
northeast of Siuyen, threatening our
Cossacks gradually withdrew five
miles from Siuyen, keeping up their
fire from battery on dense column
of the enemy at range of 600 yards.
The fire slackened about in the af-
ternoon.
''In the affair June at Vafangow
we had one rifieman wounded, but
the Japanese sustained considerable
losses. According to the testimony of
residents they had 40 killed or
wounded"
Fusan, Korea, June 1.-THE first
Japanese army has recently been en-
gagged in most important operations
For two days past four columns have
been reconnoitering the roads toward
Lao Yang, Hal Cheng, Saimatza and
Siuyen and have occupied towns on
those roads, dislodging the Russians.
numbering several hundred, from
each, after sharp fighting. The Japa-
nese casualties were G5 men killed
or wounded.

only one or two escaping.
The main Japanese force, which
was greatly superior to the Russian
force, tried to outflank the Russians,
who drew off without losing a man.

BUSY AT PORT ARTHUR.

st. Petersburg, June 14.-No infor-
nation reached the general staff last
night regarding the reported ambush
ing of Russians at Pu-Lan- -Tien, as
the result Of which they were alleged
to have lost 1,00O men. The only thing
of the least significance in this con-
nection is the short dispatch received
from Gen. Karkevitch, which was sent
on June u, the day the battle TO have
occurred. Karkevitch does not men
tion the Pu-Lan-Tien fight, of which
the authorities presume he would
have heard had 1t occurred. His dis
patch only covered events up to the
preceding day.
General news from the southern
part of the Lao Tung peninsula is of
the scantiest, and. in the absence of
official news, the officials here are not
inclined to speculate as to the situa-
ton.
The reports of continuous skirmish-
ing along the railway south of Vafan-
diem are taken to show that the Cos
sacks are keeping the Japanese busy
in protecting their rear. While heavy
fighting is not regarded as being i'm
minent. a more or less severe brush
with the enemy is likely at any time.
New Chwang, June IA China
man who was smuggled by the Japa-
nese into Port Arthur to act as n spy
and escaped from there seven days ago
was arrested at New Chwang Sunday
night. He said that the Russians were
working u large force of men day and
night repairing the warships. They
expect that the work will be complet-
ed in a fortnight.
Four cruisers under Golden Hill, at
the entrance of Port Arthur, have
their guns pointed landward, to assist
in repulsing a land attack. The chan
mel is partly cleared, but Admiral To-
gO's blockade is effective.
The spy estimates the total number
of the Russian forces, including the
sailors, at less than $4,000 men. There
are many sick and wounded. There is
food sufficient for two months.

COLLISION ON ST. LAWRENCE.
Steamer Sank and Five People
Lost Their Lives.
More than 100 People Were on the
Boat that Sank - Some of
the Passengers Jumped
Overheard.

Montreal, Que, June 13.-The
Richelieu and Ontario Navigation
Co.'S steamer Canada, bound from
Quebec for Montreal came into col
lision with the Dominion Coal Co.'S
collier Cape Breton, six miles below
Sorel, early Sunday. Twenty minutes
later the Canada went to the bottom.
At the time of the collision there were
110 people on board the Canada. Five
were lost; the others were rescued.
The collision occurred just as dawn
was breaking. The Cape Breton lay
at the entrance of the Lake st. Peter
channel waiting for daylight, so as to
find her way through. She was get
ting under way when the Canada,
making for Sorel at full speed, came
into view.
Just what the collision was due to
and who is responsible for it has not
yet been determined, for the officers
of the Canada decline to talk, but
from the statements given out it
would appear that the Cape Breton
had not got headway enough to
answer her rudder and that she
swerved across the path of the pas
senger boat, her bow striking the Can
ada just forward of the paddle box on
the starboard side and tearing its way
half through.
Then the Cape Breton swung clear
and the two steamers came alongside
one another.
The shock of the collision aroused
the sleeping passengers. The Canada
at once began to settle and as the
Cape Breton did not appear to be seri-
ously damaged the passengers wero
hurriedly transferred to this steamer.
In the excitement some of the pas
sengers jumped overheard and were
picked up by boats from the Canada
and the Cape Breton, but great ma.
jority of those on board did not be.
come excited, while the discipline
shown by the crew of the Canada was
excellent
Twenty minutes later when the
Canada went down alongside the Cape
Breton, resting on her side in the
mud, all the passengers who could be
found had been transferred.
Assistance arrived about o'clock
in the afternoon, the steambarge Pre-
fontaine having been found in the har-
Dor with steam up. The Prefontaine
took the passengers and crew to
Sorel and they were brought up to
this city on board the steamer Co
lumbar.
All the passengers speak highly of
the efforts made by the captain and
the crew of the Canada to save the
lives of those aboard and to their ex-
ertions is ascribed the small loss of
life.

"PLANT DISEASES IN 1eoa."
Enormous Losses Caused by the Enc
mics of Various Plants.

Washington, June 13.-The destruc-
tion wrought on crops by countless
plant enemies throughout the country
is revealed by a report issued by the
department of agriculture on plant
diseases in 1908" Besides the mass
of detail regarding conditions in the
United States proper it shows that
the coffee leaf blight has accidentally
been introduced into Porto Rico and
measures are being taken to stamp it
out. Cocoa in Porto Rico is affected
by black pod rot, canker and root
disease.
The tomato blight has practically
ruined the tomato crop OF Porto Rico.
A potato root rot has caused the loss
of nearly the entire potato crop.
Orange scab has caused consider
abl damage in the Bayamo district.
The cotton root rot in Texas pre-
vailed to a greater extent than for
many years, the loss being estimated
at about $2,00O,OO0 Anthracnose has
Carolina to Georgia and locally in
furious, especially TO sea island cot
ton in South Georgia.
Corn leaf blight was general in
Connecticut, Delaware, eastern Penn
sylvania and New Jerey, alfalfa rust
in Ohio and rice blast in the Cooper
river section of South Carolina, where
the crop was over 100000 bushels
short. The loss from the spread of
this disease in the past six years is
estimated at $1,000,000. Asparagus
rust is Increasing in the west and i'm
portant canning districts are badly af-
fected. Watermelon wilt is spreading
in the south ana cantaloupe leaf
blight was injurious, especially in the
south, the loss in Florida being 40 per
cent. Tomato bacteria wilt was found
in Connecticut and it was serious in
New Jersey and Maryland.
The bitter rot of apples has been
widespread. Injury was reported from
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Michi-
gan, southeastern Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Virginia, the Carolinas and
Georgia.
Apple canker or brown rot was
prevalent in Connecticut, Ohio, New
York and Michigan, causing much
damage and especially in neglected
orchards. Black heart, disease af-
fecting the wood of apple trees, was
reported from Montana, Nebraska.
Iowa, Kansas and adjacent states.
