General Kuropatkin Faces
Two Immense Armies at

Foes Forces Number One
Hundred and Thirty
Thousand Men.
Kuroki Advancing to Render
Assistance to Oku and
N0dzu.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.-Stead-
lily and cautiously General Oku's army
from the south and General Nodzu's
army from the east are closing in on
Tatchekiao, where General Kuropatkin
is reported to be entrenched. One hun
dred and thirty thousand Japanese are
involved in the movement. The next
few days will determine to what ex-
tent General Kuropatkin intends to
make a stand at Tatchekiao, possession
of which by the Japanese would COM
pei the immediate evacuation of New
chwang. The outposts of the armies
are scarcely fifteen miles apart.
Lieutenant General Sakharoff reports
that General Kuroki is massing his
troops near the Pkhamlin Pass and
moving out by both roads upon Hal
cheng. Heavy pressure from this
quarter would render Tatchekiao un-
tenable.

Official Message From Viceroy As

is true that Togo does not mention a
land attack, but this is not in his
province.
The loss of 10000 Of the besiegers in
an attack against fortifications with
guns in position and the approaches
sown with mines is considered quite
within the range of possibility, if the
japanese, as on other occasions, storm
ed the Notifications with their ac-
customed recklessness, especially If the
mines were exploded under masses of
men. The general staff already had in
formation that the besiegers had occu-
pied Takushan Hill, three miles north
east of the harbor. but adds that the
japanese were unable to hold the posi-
ton.
If the report of the loss of 10000 jap
anese is confirmed General NodZu's
army is in desperate straits, as General
Stoessel will not fail to take advantage
of such a reverse and follow it UP.
LONDON, July 1.-THE special dis

AS soon as it was sufficiently light to
distinguish the enemy, two hours after
the beginning of the fight, the jap

ST. .'PETERSBURG, July ia spe-
cial dispatch received from Mukden to-
night, dated July y. repeats the story
of a japanese -repulse at Port Arthur
with the loss of 10000 men. The dis
patch says:
fNews has been received from re-
liable sources that the Japanese third
army on the night of July IL attacked
Port Arthur and was heavily defeated
an immense number being killed by
Russian mines. The total loss is about
10000"
There was great interest throughout
st. Petersburg all this evening for
further details of the disaster. 1t has
developed that the official report, which
was at first supposed to emanate di-
rectly from Viceroy Alexieff, was not
specifically fathered by him, but was
given out as a report reaching his
headquarters from Japanese sources. -
What these sources are has not yet
been explained. Possibly the report
was intercepted by wireless telegraph; ;
but il is more likely that it came from
the Russian Consul at Chefu or the
Russian consul at Tientsin. A full
report from Lieutenant General Stoes-
sci, commander of the military forces
at Port Arthur is awaited.
The general staff to-day gave out the
following: 1
According to information derived
from Japanese sources and received by
Admiral Alexieff's military staff, the
Japanese attacked the Russian posi-
ton at Port Arthur during the night
Of July 10. They were repulsed with
enormous losses. 1t is difficult to cal
culate even approximately the number
of japanese casualties. which amount
ed, ii is said, to the immense figure of
10000"
The original report had reached ST.
Petersburg last night in the form of a
newspaper dispatch from Mukden and
was received with incredulity but at
about noon, when Vice Admiral
Alexieff telegraphed the news to the
general staff, il created a tremendous
impression. II was Immediately trans
mitted to the Official Messenger and a
few minutes afterward the newsboys
were racing through the streets, cleo
trifying the crowds with the tidings.
The boys were fairly mobbed by per-
sons eager to buy the extras.
The members of the general staff do
not offer explanations of what Ad-
miral Alexieff means by Japanese
sources" but they declare that the
Yiceroy would not have officially re-
ported such important news unless it
had reached him from sources entirely
worthy Of eredence. At the same time,
they say the. report should be accepted
with reserve, pending the receipt of
more definite advices. In support of the
report. however, they point out that
the date Comedies with the second at
tempt of Admiral Togo's torpedo boat

PORT ARTHUR FLEET ACTIVE
Admiral WithOeft's Ships Giving the
Besiegers Much Trouble.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.-The
Admiralty believes that Rear Admiral
Withoeft's squadron is rendering ef-
fective aid in the defense Of Port Ar
thur by impeding the construction Of
batteries near the eastern approaches
and fortress, the warships going out
and shelling the Japanese works un-
der construction for this purpose. The
bringing up of siege guns TO an ef-
fective range can thus be materially
retarded.
The Admiralty regards the naval
situation as greatly improved and
sees evidence Of the japanese feet
showing signs of exhaustion. The Of
ficials here believe that Admiral Togo,
with the knowledge that he will have
10 fight without the cooperation of
the army in stOrming Port Arthur, has
become extremely cautious about risk
ing his ships and that at present he
viii undertake operations of only sec
ondary importance, like a pursuit of
the VladivOstok squadron and coop

VICTORIA, B. c., July 13.-wiI-

Central News and the London
Graphic and military critic of con-
siderable note. arrived here on the

the real reason for the refusal Of the
Japanese to allow any war corre-

fact that a number of irresponsible
and sensational American newspaper
reporters" who knew nothing about
war or the duties of a war correspond
ent, had been sent out by certain
American newspapers and that the
japanese included not only these per-

AT THE FRONT WITH GENERAL
KUROKTS FORCES. July4.-The brief
and disastrous attempt of the Rus
siansto overwhelm the small japanese
force which guarded the entrance to
the Molten Pass was a bloody affair.
The Japanese troops again exhibited
their resourcefulness and courage and
the Russians again threw away many
lives. The losses cannot be ascertatned
until the battlefield has been searched.
The Japanese are still driving the
enemy up the valley The correspon-
dent of the Associated Press saw
enough to justify the estimate that the
Russians had more than 200 men killed
or wounded and that the Japanese
casualties probably would amount to
so. The Russians left 80 dead in front
of and in the trench where the attack
began. At this point they had an equal
number of, men severely wounded and
the Japanese took several prisoners
were seen carrying away two officers
who had been either killed or wounded.
SURPRISED BY RUSSIANS.
Molten Pass opens upon funnel
shaped slope which rises for a quarter
of mile from the valley and which is
flanked by hills. Thirty-six Japanese
were quartered in a Chinese house near
the bottom of the hfli and two COM
panies of Japanese soldiers were in a
trench a hundred yards long, located
on the summit of the hill, which COM
manded the approach. Two other COM
panies of soldiers slept near this
trench.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morn
ing, in complete darkness and with a
heavy fog enshrouding the hills, two
battalions of the Tenth and Twenty
fourth East Siberian Regiments, to-
gether with one hundred cavalrymen,
approached the Japanese position.
They surrounded the pickets and the
outposts in the house and gained a po-
sition from which to rush the trench.
Several other Russian companies were
so disposed that they could attempt a
fianking movement on both the Japan
ese right and left.
When the fighting began the build
ing where the outposts were quartered
became a slaughter-house. The Jap
anese, aroused from their sleep by the
enemy, seized their swords and bay
onets to resist the attack The Rus
slams were at such close quarters with
the japanese that,it was impossible for
the latter to use their rifles.
