KUROKTS ARMY LOST
Russians Worried Over Being Unable to
Find What japanese Are Doing.
PORT ARTHUR HAS PLENTY OF WATER.
Japanese Have Only Stopped Part Of the
Supply angIed By Russian Guns-One
of Port Arthur Fleet Near Shanghai-War-
ship Supposed to Be Armored Cruiser Bay
an In Hangchau Bay.

ST. Petersburg (By Cable).-Czar
Nicholas returned to St. Petersburg
from the South, and it is reported on
very high authority that the appoint
ment of a commander-in-chief will be
announced shortly. While General
Kuropatkin's friends still insist that
he will be appointed, members of the
Cars encourage express no doubt
that Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaie-
witch will be chosen.
The official advices from the front
report that all is quiet along the
whole line of the opposing armies. A
slight Japanese movement has been
observed at Fentiapu, about 10 miles
southeast of Mukden, but there has
been no collision.
The principal cause of alarm at the
War Office is occasioned by the lack
of definite information regarding the
exact whereabouts of Field Marshal
Oyama's right. The Russian scouts
have lost touch with General Kuro-
ki's main army, which may give in
creasing importance to the fanklng
movement west under General Oku,
which hitherto has been regarded as
a feint. 1t also may contain a big
surprise.
Kuropatkin's plans are carefully
guarded While he is disposing his
forces to take advantage of any situa-
ton that may offer, the best opinion
is that he will not accept general en-
gagement, but will withdraw to Tie
Pass, where the bulk of his army Is
maSSed.
Che Foo (By Cable).-While it is
true that the regular water supply OF
Port Arthur has been stopped by the
Japanese, the fortress has other sup
plies which can be taken only when
the city falls.
The garrison of Port Arthur now
has sufficient food, but the supplies
of timed meats are nearly exhausted,
and the troops are now slaughtering
80 donkeys daily for fresh meat, which
is worth $I.2o pound. Eggs cost &c
cents each.
Chinese who left Port Arthur on
October I, and who were previously
engaged in burying the dead, say the
effect of the Russians shells and ma
chine guns is terrific. The slopes of
a high hill were Uttered with man
gled bodies and severed heads and
limbs. In one trench the Chinese
buried 900 Japanese and 200 Russians.
Shanghai (By Cable).-A Russian
warship, supposed to be the armored
cruiser Bayan of the Port Arthur
Squadron, is reported to have an
chored off Gutzlaff Island, in Hang
chau Bay. Two tugs have proceeded
thither to bring her to Shanghai.

CALL, SPECIAL SESSION
A Meeting Is to Be Held
To-MOrrow at Which Final
Protests Will Be Heard
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

HIS oTOdQNdNs ApTn 10.
The matter of building the first Sec
ton of the scenic boulevard to extend
along the Contra Costa foothills from
Oakland to Haywards will be taken up
tomorrow morning at special ses-
sion of the Board of Supervisors. The
matter was brought up this morning
by the filing Of a petition signed by a
number of property owners asking that
the work be proceeded with. Provision
for building part of the roadway was
made in the tax levy of this year, and
1t is now asked that this work be
begun.
The expressions by the different Su-
pervisors were that the matter had been
allowed to lie over for a short time
owing to the pressure of other business,
but it was not intended to delay the
work for any great length of time. At
the request of Supervisor Talcott, how
ever, the matter was set as a speciaI
order of business for tomorrow morn
ing, as he stated that a number of
changes in the ownership of property
along the proposed route had taken
place, and he wished to give these
people an opportunity to be heard
without, however, changing what had
already been done.
The petitioners that signed the docu-
meRt were Charles F. Lee, Fruitvale,
J. r. Talcott, 1888 High street: George
F. Lund, Postmaster, Fruitvale; p. H.
Blake, p. II. Blake Jr., Charles Nelson
and J. s. Kimball of East Oakland.
A request on behalf of the estate of
Joseph Dunsmuir was made to have
the award of damages allowed by the
viewers, $500. increased to $4,000. 1t
was argued by Attorney A. F. St. Sure
that the right of way very seriously
impaired the value of the place and
that it would cut through valuable i'm
provements which had been made for
home purposes.
