Several personal rer resentatives of

ration that the president was positive
in his determination to express no

The mass of delegates apparently

the extent Of believing he has indicat-

is Enormous.
Iiaoyang. June 20.-The Japanese
continued to press the Russian forces
returning from the battle Of Vafan-
gov on the night of June 16. They
had remained at Vafangow all day and
at night persistently pushed forward
and tried to get round the Russian
right wing, which had borne the brunt
Of such heavy fighting the previous
day.
A terrific thunderstorm burt ct
night, rendering the roads almost iEl-
passable. They were bad for the Rus
slams and equally SO for the Japanese,
who were unable to overlap the Rus
sian right. The Russians, therefore,
were enabled to retire gradually to the
north.
The total Russian casualties are
placed at about 5000, as nearly as can
be estimated at present.
1t is stated here that General Ku-
roki, with the main force of the Japa-
nese, is at Siuyen. 1t is believed he
intends uniting with the force ad-
vancing from the south and make a
combined attack on Haicheng.

Tells, Of His Raid and the Sinking Of
Jap Transports.
st. Petersburg, June 20.-Emperor
Nicholas has received the following
dispatch, dated June IS, from Vice
Admiral S%krydloff:
"On June Is our cruiser division en-
countered in the Strait of Korea a
Japanese transport steaming from the
south in the direction of the Japanese
coast, which was visible on the hori-
zon. The vessel proved to be the
Izumi with troops on board.
ION the expiration of the time given
those on board to lower boats and
leave the ship. permission to do which
was taken advantage of by part of the
crew, the transport was sunk by Il
guns.
Shortly afterward two more trans
ports we're sighted to the southeast.
They proved to be the Hitachi and the
Sado, the former with troops and the
latter carrying coolies, horses and a
railway plant. The transports re-
fused to surrender and at the end OF
the period granted those on board to
take to the boats, the two vessels were
sunk by t%orpedoes and shells.
"The losses on the three transports,
the tonnage of which aggregated about
$4,000 tons, consisted of a portion OF
the troops and crews, a large quantity
Of war material and the railway plant.
"On June 16 our squadron met the
British steamer Allanton, which was
proceeding south with a cargo of coal
from the port of Mourorun, island or
Hokkaido (Yezo.)
1.-THE lack of clearness in her papers
and the i~rregularity of her log excit-
ed suspicion concerning the neutrality
of her cargo. The steamer therefore
was sent to Vladivostok in charge of
a detachment of soldiers commanded
by Lieutenant Pitroff. She has ar
rived at V~ladivostok, where a prize
court will consider her case"

AT TIE BATTLE OF TELlssU.
Russians Left Six Hundred Dead on
the Field.

Russians Lett SIX Deao on
the Field.
Toxic, June 20.-General Oku, the
victor of the battle of Nanshan hill on
May 26, fought and won the battle OF
Telissu, called Vafangow by the Rus
SLAMS, on June Is.
There is a strong similarity be-
tween the two fights. At Telissu the
Japanese had to drive the Russians
from two hills. while at Nanshan the
enemy occupied one hill. The Rus
sian position at Telissu is superior to
that of the Japanese and equalized the
advantage of the Japanese in having
a larger force. The Russian position
extended from east to west and crossed
the narrow valley through which runs
the Foochow river and the railway.
From their positions on the right and
left in the hills which flank the valley,
General Oku drove the Russians down
into the valley. The Japanese general
carried first the enemy's right and
then his left. The fight at the left of
his line was the most desperate of
the day. The Russians held this posi-
ton with desperate determination and
only fled when they eel almost com
pletely enveloped. The field had been
disputed all day and when the Japa-
nese reached it 600 of the enemy's
dead were found there.
The Japanese left succeeded in am
bushing 900 Russian infantry, who
were discovered retiring toward WI
chiatun. They sem two companies of
infantry and one battery of artillery to
a hill east of Hongchiatun, and the
Russians were completely trapped,
many of the enemy at this point were
killed or wounded.
General Oku says the Russians be
gan the fight with 25 battalions of in
fantry, II s%uuadrons of cavalry and
SO guns. They were reinforced sew
eral times, but the number of rein
forcements is not known. The Rus
sian casualties are not known with
e%Xacture. Seven Russian officers ant
800 men were taken prisoners.
The Japanese casualties reported w
to noon June 10 amounted to abour
800 officers and men killed ant
wounded.
