The Russians sustained no losses. Five

The stores of Russian village near

volunteers had a skirmish with Jap

no casualties ON the Russian side. Six

Minor Battle Looked For.
Shanghai, April Ut is not believed
that the Russian troops between An
tung and Chiutiencheng (about ten
miles north of Antung), comprise the
main Russian force, and consequently
the engagement which is looked for
at or near these places probably
will not be decisive, but only Il
forerunner of larger operations.
The Russians are constructing en-
trenchments at several points on the
Yalu and Tumcn rivers. These ell
lrenchments, however, are not yet COM
pleted. and if the Japanese succeed in
, forcing their way past one line of de-
Tense it would give them distinct adj
vantage and make it more difficult for

HEAVY FIGHTING REPORTED.
Sensational Reports Of Slaughter of
Japs at Port Arthur.

Che Foo. Aug. ia battle of huge
proportions ragged around Port Arthur
August 14th and 18th and it was re-
sumed- August 18th.
The Japanese. it is reported, sacri-
need $4,000 more men but gained
important advantages in the matter of
position.
The above news was brought here in
junks, one of which, having on board
three Russians, concealed in the bag
gage of Chinese to escape from the
Japanese, left Port Arthur last night
and was blown rapidly to Che Foo by
gale.
The main force of the attack was
directed against the left wing and re-
suited in the capture of Pigeon Bay
positions and some of the forts at Lao
Tshan.
At Palunchang the japanese hastily
mounted guns which did excellent SER
vice in aiding the storming of the right
wing, where the Japanese are said to
have captured two forts OF minor value
mounting eight four-inch guns, two
siege guns and six quick-fring guns.
The position that the Japanese occu-
py on Lao Tshan peninsula is not
clear, but numerous reports from Chi
nese sources aver that the Japanese
have been seen in force in that sec
tion. Apparently a crushing attack,
originating in Louisa bay, swept
through the Pigeon bay positions into
the peninsula, il the doing OF which a
majority of the lives OF the expedition
were sacrificed.
On the night of the 18th the battle
lulled somewhat, when the Japanese
sent the terms of surrender to Lieu
tenant General Stoessel
The terms provided that the garri-
son should march out with the honors
of war and join General Kuropatkin;
that all civilians be brought to a place
designated by the Japanese admiral;
that the Russian warships in the har-
Dor, numbering seven, namely: the
battleships Retvizan, Sevastopol Po
bieda, Perseviet, Poltava, and the arm
ored cruiser Bayan, the protected
cruiser Pallada, and twelve or more
torpedo boat destroyers and four gun
boats, be surrendered to the Japanese.
Lieutenant General Stoessel is al
legged to have received the terms with
burst Of wonderful profanity, his
habitual taciturnity deserving him.
He strobe the floor until he became
calmer and then remarked that if the
japanese proposition was a joke, it
was in bad taste.
General Stoessels treatment of the
Japanese major was courteous. but his
reply was prompt and Characteristic.
The Japanese major then asked for
three days truce in which to bury
the dead. This was refused.

Cleveland, May 1s.--The Iron Trade
Review IN Its current issue says:
While the iron trade drifts with pig
iron declining the developments In re-
spect TO ore traffic on the lakes have
reached a point from which they may
soon pass to position of first import
ance. The masters and pilots have
taken a stand that now threatens
stubborn strike and this makes the
question of ore supply Of immediate
interest, In addition to the 100000
tons of ore officially reported as on
dock at Lake Erie points on May !,
careful estimates (but not based on
official figures) put the amount OF
Lake Superior ores In furnace yards
on that date close to seven million
tons. The reduction In the past two
weeks makes the amount Of such ore
now available about ten and half MIL
lion tons or somewhat less than fve
months supply at the present rate OF
consumption.
Some merchant furnaces In the CEN
trail west are preparing TO blow out
in the next few weeks. 80 that ore con-
sumption will be reduced to that ex-
tent. While the above 10000 tons viii
run the furnaces Into october II evenly

whose furnaces will be forced TO stoT
much before that for lack OF ore.Ir
