ATTACKS.
LIAO YANG is HIS GOAL
Indications Are That Present Battle

Into a General Ensasement-Japs
Will Surround Lao Yang - Bonn.
bardment Of Port Arthur stops.

Paris, Aug. 2s.-The correspond
ent of the Temps at Lao Yang
telegraphs his paper that yester-
day he met Lieutenant Newton A.
Mccaulley, the American naval at
,tache, who had Just returned from
Port Arthur after a sojourn of
three months. According to the
American, when he left the fort
ress on August IA, the Japanese
then were four and one-half miles
form the city,. The Russian POSI-
tion upon chain of rugged hills
200 meters high were protected by
trenches, mines, a net work Of
barbed wire, and cannon, and he
believes 1t impossible to take them
by assault. In his opinion the Jap
,anese losses have been very
heavy, at least ten times those Of
the Russians, he says, and that
Port Arthur can hold out much
longer than the people believe.

day
Indicates General Engagement.
The advices at hand are too meagre
to enable the officials to form cor
rect opinion as to whether 1t will re-
suit in a general engagement but the
extent and character Of the Japanese
movement leads to that conclusion.
Japanese Move on First.
Since the rains ceased week ago
there have been continued intima-
tions that Kuropatkin was about to
assume the offensive, but instead of
that it was the Japanese. who attack
ed the Russian commanders eastern
and southern positions.
To Surround Llao Yang.
A Japanese column 10000 strong
was reported on Tuesday to be march
ing up the right bank Of the Lianher
river which would seem to indicate
that three Japanese armies are corpo-
rating in enveloping the three sides Of
Lao Yang.
Bombardment Is Stopped.
The war office was much elated this
morning at receipt of dispatch from
General Stoessel. dated Port Arthur,
August 90. reporting that the Japan
ese had at last been exhausted by
their attacks and that the lombard
ment had been suspended.
Full details regarding the dispatch
are not available, but it probably re-
fers to the Chez Foo dispatch of yes
tertA.J announcing the repulse of the
Japanese with heavy losses in their
attacks upon Fort No. and Fort Etse-
shan.
Baltic Fleet Leaves cronstadt.
The Baltic fleet consists of five bat
tleships, five cruisers, two transports
and number of torpedo boat destroy
ers. While it is officially stated that
the fleet left Cronstadt last night
bound on a trial cruise, it is believed
by many people that the warships will
not return to Cronstadt unless in case
of serious break down, but that they
will put into Libau, where they will be
joined by the auxiliary cruisers, COLI
ers and torpedo boat destroyers built
at Libau and at Deval, there to await
the ultimate start for the far east.

Cape Town, Aug. 26. - There is nj
foundation for the report which hal
been circulated in the United State!
that the American squadron. now il
these waters, has been ordered tt

REPUBLICAN, SPELLBINDER s.

The Republican spellbinders are going over the territory telling the people that the only hope of single statehood for Arizona lies in the election of B. A. Fowler, the Republican candidate fer congress. This is not the first time the Repub~ lican party has appealed to the peo- pie of Arizona for votes on the Ques- ton of statehood They have. for years, pleaded with our people for votes on the ground that if Arizona would vote the Republican ticket it could get anything asked for from the Republican party But Arizona is
 not the only Territory where the Re publicans have in the past promised statehood in return for Republican votes. In New Mexico two years ago the people were promised that in case Rodey, the Republican candi- date for Congress, was elected, that Territory would be admitted as a state. New Mexico elected ROdey by ma jorIty little less ftan seven thou
 sand. The Republicans refused to admit New Mexico, just the same as they refused to admit Arizona. When | the people of Arizona now listen to the promises of the Republican spellbind- | CTS talk about statehood it will be well to remember the "cross" gwen New Mexico after inducing the people of that Territory to vote the Republi- 1 can ticket at the last election.
 Word comes from Phoenix that Can didate Fowler in his speech in that city accepted statehood as the para mount issue in the Arizona campaign. We are glad of this. On this issue the Republicans have no right to ex- pect any votes in this territory. The Republican party has committed it. self to joint statehood by remaining silent in it's national convention on the
Bisbee daily review., 1904-10-05

question of statehood and thereby ap- proving the joint statehood bill pass ed by the last session of Congress. No one can controvert this conclusion, because of the fact the the Republi- can party has not remained silent in twelve years in it's national con ventions until the last one held in Chicago. Why were they silent in Chicago last June? Because they swantel b g11yle iile pending joint statehood bll their approval. The Republican delegates from Arizona in the Chicago convention insisted and plead with the leaders for an expres- sion against the merger statehood bill, but they were turned down on the proposition.
 The only hope now for Arizona to avert the condition which will come with joint statehood with New Mex ico lies in the determined opposition of the Democrats in the Senate. The merger bill has passed the lower house of congress; with the united op- position of the Democrats in the Sen ate the passage of the bill can be prevented under the rules of that body. These Democrats have promised to stand by the people of Arizona in their struggle to preserve the political au- tonomy of Arizona and they will ex- pect the people of Arizona to stand by the Democratic party while they are making the great fight for Ari- zona.
 4 Republican majority in Arizona would be nothing more or less than an | endorsement of the merger statehood bill. A Democratic majority will give notice to the world that Arizona wants | Independent statehood or none at | all.
Bisbee daily review., 1904-10-05

MT. Fowler stated in his speech at the Opera House on Monday evening that the Republican Senators in the east, who favor joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico. are honest in their opinion. That they were conscientious in this matter. Grant ed. The difference between the peo- pie of Arizona and these eastern Re publicans, however. is just this: Arizona wants single statehood and our people are just as honest and just as conscientious in this contention as our Republican friends.

Will some Of our esteemed Republi- can contemporaries tell us what kind of a murderous weapon the Hon. B. A.

 J. B. Whiteside, of Mojave county.
 The above named well known and popular Democrats of Arizona have been nominated for the council from their several counties. The nomina- tion of these gentlemen in eight of the counties Of the Territory is a guaran- tee that the next council will be con trolled by the Democrats, as their eleeticn is foregone conclusion They are all men of ability. they have all had the experience of former ser vice in the law making bodies of Ari- zona and each has record which en- titles him b election now.
 Not only does the nomination of such nen guarantee Democratic con trol in the next legislative council but it is also an assurance that every in terest of the people of Arizona will be conserved an5 faithfully promoted by the next legislature. The council is the safety valve of the legislature and with such men in that body Arizona and the Democratic party in the Ter ritory may be congratulated on the fact that so many promlnent and worthy men will sit in it next winter.
