Turkish Monarch Said to Have Been
Shot At by Guard.
Geneva, Sept. "A report has reach
ed here that the sultan of Turkey was
struck by a bullet fired during a fight
between his personal guard of Alban-
ians and Bosnians. The report says
that the bullet was turned and sul.ans
life saved by coat Of mail he always
wears.
The report was received by a high
Turkish official who was passing thru
here on his travels. According to his
advices the affray took place Wednes-
day night, and the fighting was con-
ttnued up to the door of the harem.
Trere were many killed and wounded,
among the latter Maj Turk Bey. 1t is
said an Albanian fired on the sultan.
The situation at the palace is serious,
and the sultan has asked the prince of
Montenegro to supply him with a
guard, and his hushing up Of the affair
and denial of the incident is, therefore,
certain.

The exact position Of the two arm

somewhat vague by both press dis
patches and official reports. st. Pet

make the fact plain that kuropatkin
did not move his entire army to tho
north bank Of Taitse river and it is evil

day engaged on either side of the river.
While Russian official advices and in
formation given out at ST. Petersburg

that his retrograde movement does not
indicate reverse, the tone of the Tok-

Japs Apparently Intend to Follow the
Russian Eliuht

: Toxic, Sept. 3.-The Russian force
confronting Oyama's left and center
continues to give ground in retreat
and is crossing to the right bank of
the Taitse river. A portion of the Rus
sian army has occupied line Of de-
fense works extending northwest from
point south of Lao Yang and the
Russians also hold an eminence north
east of Nutchwang on the right bank
OF the Taitse. This evidently is in
tended to shield a general retreat OF
both the left and center The Japan
ese armies continued to press the Rus
slams yesterday. They moved forward
and occupied a line extending from
Tatepjif to Yanchialintzu. Oyama
telegraphs he hopes they will reach
the right bank of the Taitse this morn
ing. Kuroki, after serious fighting,
succeeded yesterday in taking a por-
ton of the eminence near Hei Ying
Tai The Russians again appear to be
concentrating in the vicinity of Yen
Tai, coal mines, twelve miles northeast
of Liao Yang. Possibly another great
battle will occur there. The present
trend of movements indicates that pos
sibly the Japanese will move past Lao
Yang temporarily leaving the city un-
touched.

sULLETIN.

Yang side of the Taitse is regarded as
strong enough behind its fortified po-
sitions to hold Oku and Nodzu long
enough to give Kuropatkin chance to
strike Kuroki and at the same time
protect the ten bridges over which
Kuropatkin must recross in order to
follow up his success, in the event he
crushes Kuroki.
In case of reverse the bridges will
also furnish ample facilities for the
Russian troops on the Liao Yang side
to rejoin the main army.
Yesterday afternoon Oku assaulted
one of the strong Russian positions on
the Liao Yang side, which, it is pre-
sumed, guarded the bridges, but the
japanese were repulsed with exceed
ingly heavy losses, the Russians behind
their works suffering only slightly. The
japanese are using siege guns on the
Lao Yang side. Kuropatkin did not
delay after his concentration on the
right bank. Yesterda~ morning he
massed his artillery and at noon began
to lombard Kurolki's position, prelim-
mary to an infantry attack. The above
was the situation when the latest re-
ports in possession of the war office
were sent. What the authorities at To-
kio regard as Russian concentration
at Yentai was probably Kuropatkin's
preparations for taking the offensive.
Telegraph and railroad communica-
ton between the Russian army and
Mukden were still open this morning.
In military circles Kuropatkin's tao
tics are approved and confidence is ex-
pressed in the issue.
Failure at Toxic to chronicle the
voluntary passage of Kuropatkin's main
army across the river, is believed here
to indicate the japanese desire TO
claim a. SNch glory as possible IL
they succeed in taking possession Of
Lao Yang. Neither Kuropatkin's de-
CIS1OIl 10 make Tie CROSSING with MS
army nor the fact that the bulk of it
is over, which was exclusively an
nounced by the Associated Press, was
known to the Russian public till this
morning.
The war office is still without official
information in regard to the result of
~.
kuropatkin's fight with Kuroki. If the
report that Kuropatlsin is retiring
turns out to be true, it is considered
possible it may be due to the appear
ance Of another thanking movement Of
the Japanese higher up and from the
west. Reports that the japanese we've

mintin We're persistent just before the
fighting began. Notwithstanding the
lack of official confirmation of Kuro-

their headlines depict the conditions at
Liao Yang as Russian rout," or de
feat" Their editorials, in more care
full vein point out that the latest dis
patches leave the issue of the greatest
battle of this generation still in doubt
From an expert British point of view
Marquis Oyama's sacrifices will have
been in vain unless he is able to cut off
Kuropatkin from Mukden. On this
point there are chaotic hypotheses.
The Daily Graphic frankly says:
1--WE are in the dark as to the final out
come,' adding that 1t seems not un-
likely that Kuropatkin may still man
age to carry a fighting force with him
to Mukden.
The other critics doubt whether the
Japanese in the face of "indomitable
Russian pluck" are strong enough to
press some of the preliminary successes
already won.,
The Morning Post concludes a, care
full and rather impart1al survey Of the
four days fighting with the opinion
that the battle of Lao Yang will take
it's place beside that of Waterloo, and
believes whether or not Kuropatkin's g
force is able to continue it's retreat, it
will be broken and useless for some
time to come"
The Russian view that General Ku-
ropatkin by crossing the river divided
the opposing forces meets with slight
consideration, as it is pointed out that
all the Japanese units can now attack
simultaneously from different direc-
tions, which eliminates any advantage
to the Russian side and really aggre-
Yates the seriousness of their position.
the Japanese force being superior in
numbers
The suspense with which the devel-
opments at Lao Yang are awaited
could be scarcely greater in Toxic than
it is in London.
