SIEGE HAS BEGUN.

ST Petersburg, May IA. dis
patch received last night says that
Port Arthur is cut off from all com.
munication by land, the Japanese hav-
ing disembarked in its rear, occupied
the railroad and cut the telegraph.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who is en-
route to Port Arthur to take command
of the naval forces, will be unable to
reach his destination.
Japanese troops swarming across
the narrow neck of the Liao-Tung pc.
ninsula, the railroad and telegraph
communications cut and the Russian
Gibraltar isolated and left to it's own
resourceS-all this the Russians seem
to accept with great stoicism.
Complete details of the landing are
lacking, owing to the interruption OF
communication. No resistance was
made, the few Cossacks who observed
the movement retiring when the war
ships shelled the shore preparatory to
Decentralization. Ten thousand men
were put ashore Thursday and the
Decentralization was proceeding on
Thursday at the time communication
ceased. 1t is believed that there are
over 10000 now on land preparing for
a forward movement Two Japanese
regiments were hurried westward
Friday to cut the railroad and tele-
graph communication. One of these
fired on a train conveying the wound
ed from Port Arthur.
1t was because he was convinced
that Port Arthur was about to be cut
off that Viceroy AleXieff, accompanied
by his staff and Grand Duke Boris,
left hastily.
1t is reported that the Japanese
ships bombarded Port Arthur on the
morning of May 6 and succeeded at
least in closing the entrance, but no
official confirmation of the latter
statement can be obtained.
Toxic, May 7.-Gen. Kuroki in re-
porting tells of a bloody encounter
during the Russian retreat on Sunday
last when a large force of Russians
mistook a small body of their own
men for Japanese, killing and wound
ing 180 of them.

RUSSIAN REPORT OF BATTLE.

st. Petersburg, May 5.-The follow
Ing dispatch from Gen. Kuropatkin
says: Maj Gen. Kashtalinsky reports
as follows:
Il consider it my duty to report the
circumstances of the grievOus, yet
glorious battle fought by the troops
under my command with the superior
forces of the Japanese on May 1.
a general review is given of the
battle and the report winds up say
ing:
The Eleventh regiment, which
held its ground for two hours more
with heavy losses. forced q passage at
the point of the bayonet and crossed
the ravines with its colors. 1t lost it's
colonel, 40 officers and about 200 non
commissioned officers and men. The
Japanese losses must have been enor-
nous. The Russians retired in good
order on Feng- Wang -Cheng."
The Russian losses were 1000 men
and 40 officers-far greater than pre-
vious reports indicated.
Gen. Kashtalinsky's report estab-
fishes the fact that the Russians sus-
tained the greatest loss in order to
save the two regiments which were

WA r SPECIALS II
Summary of Battles and Skirmishes in the
RussO-Japanese Struggle. HT

diate vicinity of Port Arthur and
transports loaded with troops lying at
Pitsewo, 70 miles northeast of that
stronghold, Russia has braced herself
for impending conflicts with the foe
in which she will again play a de
fensive role this time. it is hoped
with better success and, therefore,
with less sacrifice of life than in the
engagements on the Yalu.
If landing should take place at
Pitsewo it is anticipated that Togo's
battleship squadron will lombard
Port Arthur in order to prevent the
garrison from sending reinforcements
by railroad to the troops opposing the
Japanese there. Neither the admiralty
nor the war office believes that a dis
embarkatiOn of the Japanese can be
prevented, as the guns of the Japa-
nese cruisers could command the
point of landing; bet after the Japa-
nese are ashore then the Russians
will strike and, officers here say, will
strike hard. What force they will be
able to bring up to resist the invaders
cannot be stated definitely, the
strength of the army on the penin-
oulci VI l-IdO uuS having DCGl kept d
secret.
1t is understood that the railroad
will play an important part in the eff
fort of the Russians to push the Japa-
nese back to the sea, as it will permit
the rapid transportation of troops.
The general staff has not forgotten
that Japanese ships were sighted
May off Kaiping and Siniuchen, on
the west coast of the Liao-Tung
peninsula, but these two points could
be readily covered if necessary,
from New Chwang
An important advantage would ac-
crue to the Japanese should they sue
ceed in establishing themselves az
Pitsewo. From there radiate roads
connecting with the railroad at Yang
Ti-Tien, directly west to south, with
Sanchelipon and Kin Chow stations
on the railroad near Port Arthur
north with Kaiping and northeast
through Takushan with Feng- Wang.

FIRE IN A COLL|ERY.
Efforts to Rescue En-.
tOmbed Miners Fail.
Five Men Believed to Have Been Killed
at Shamokin, Pa, While Two
Others in Mine at Ashland,
Pa, are tlso Buried.

Shamokin, Pa, May Five miners
are entombed and believed to be dead
as a result of a fierce fire which is
burning in the Locust Gap colliery of
the Philadelphia Il Reading Coal and
Iron Co. They are:
Boglan, John.
Boglan, Michael.
Shannon, Michael.
De Bo, John.
Massaskie, William.
The fire started Thursday night in
the slope and Massaskie, Shannon and
the BOglanS were cut off from escape
before they were warned. Rescung
parties were at once set to work, and
up to last night their efforts to bring
out the men were unsuccessful. De
Bo, Notwithstanding the protests of
others, went far into the workings
and has not been heard from since,
and it is believed that he has sue
cumbed to smoke and gas.
A party of rescuers tried to enter
an old drift and a hole they drove
through a private yard last night into
the burning slope, but smoke and gas
caused them to retreat. The fire is
burning fiercely. Some of the officials
think the men will be found smother
ed to death, while some of the miners
are of the opinion that they are safe
in old abandoned workings.
Ashland, Pa, May "A rescuing
force has been at work for many
hours endeavoring to recover the
bodies of Joseph Osunsky and Arthur
Zube, two Girardville miners who
were entombed alive in the Centralia
colliery. All hope of getting the men
out alive has been abandoned, al
though at first the tapping of their
picks could be heard, indicating that
they were alive.

A PARKER VICTORY.
Connecticut Democrats Instruct Their

wan.
Hartford, Conn, May Tn one of
the stormiest gatherings the party
ever held in Connecticut the demo-
cratic state convention yesterday
chose IA delegates to the st. Louis
convention and instructed them to
vote as a unit for Alton B. Parker, of
New York, as the presidential noml-
nee. A climax came at the end of two

The question being debated was the
substitution of the minority report of
the committee on resolutions for the
majority report. The former report
favored an unpledged delegation, the
latter a pledge for Parker and tie
unit rule. Personalities were banded
back and forth, the attack on Waller
accompanying charges that he had de-
serted the party in 1896.

TRADE is QUIET.
Percentage of Idle Factories Has In
creased-Dun's Review of Trade.

creased-Dun's Review of Trade.
New York, May 7.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Somewhat better retail distribution
has followed Improvement in temper
ature, but it came too late to recover
any large part of the tardy season s
injury to spring trade. Quiet condi-
tiOns are noted in practically all lines
of wearing apparel with the exception
of specialties, such as tan shoes, that
cannot be delivered with sufficient
rapidity. Operations for the future
requirements are carried on with
caution, and this disposition to avoid
excessive commitments will do much
to reduce the number of failures.
Some Improvement in collections,
particularly at the south and west,
will also strengthen weak concerns.
The percentage of idle factories has
increased, especially in textiles and
footwear, and a change in style has
rendered unavailable much silk ma
chinery. Structural work is increas-
ing, but dealers had accumulated
large supplies of building materials
and prices lack seasonable firmness.
Commodity prices declined slightly
during April. Railway earnings in
April were SO per cent. less than last
year.
Recovery in the iron and steel in
dustry is again retarded by the uneX-
pected dissolution of the Ore associa-
ton.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are OO7 AGAINST 175
the corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number 27,
against % last year.

JAPs' ATTACK REPULsED.

London, May 4.-Tbe Che Foo cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle
cables the following under Tuesday S
date:
The Japanese landed troops and at
tackled and captured New Chwang
last evening, the Russians falling
back to protect the railway.
The Chronicles report OF the cap
ture Of New Chwang is not confirmed
from any quarter and it is hardly
likely it is true, as the news could
scarcely have reached Che Foo. An
official dispatch from Gen. Sakharoff,
however seems to indicate that the
Japanese are directing their attention
to this point.
St Petersburg, May 4.-High Ad-
miral Grand Duke Alexis has receiv-
ed the following telegram from Vice
roy AleXieff, reporting the Japanese
attempt to block Port Arthur early
Tuesday morning:
81 respectfully report to your high
ness that fresh attack was made by
the enemy Monday night with the OBJ
ject OF obstructing the entrance to the
port and that it was successfully re-
PEELED.

torpedo boats were perceived near the
coast. Under the fire of our warships
and the batteries they retreated
.southward.
"At 1:45 o'clock the first fireship,
escorted by several torpedo boats,
was sighted and we opened fire upon
it from the batteries and the war
ships. Three quarters of an hour af-
terwards our searchlights revealed a
number OF fireships making for the
entrance of the harbOr from the east
and southwest. The coast defence
vessels Otvashni and Gremieshchi
and the gunboat Giliak repulsed them
by well directed fire.
Altogether eight ships were sunk
by our vigorous cannonade, by White
head torpedoes launched from our
torpedo boats and by the explosion of
several submarine mines. Further,
according to the reports of the officers
commanding the batteries and the
gunboat Giliak two Japanese torpedo
boats were destroyed.
Up to the present 80 men, includ
Ing two mortally wounded officers
who took refuge on a launch, or were
rescued from the fireships by us, have
been picked up. The inspection of
the roadstead and the work of saving
the enemy's men we're hindered by
the heavy sea running. We suffered
no casualties with the exception of a
seaman belonging to the torpedo boat
destroyer BOevoi."
