FIGHTING WAS MOST SEVERE
RUSSIAN GENERAL ADMITS DE-
FEAT BUT SAYS JAPANESE
LOST HEAVILY.

st. Petersburg, May 4.-The en-
peror has received an official dispatch
from General Kuropatkin, forwarding
q dispatch from General Sassulitch,
commanding the Russian forces which
have been engaged with the Jan panese
advance from the lalu. IL is datel
noon, Sunday, and describes how he
ordered the Russian forces at Antung
and Kuliencheng TO fall back along
the main road toward Eenghuang-
cheng. This movement was protect
ed from the threatened flank attack
by men and guns stationed al Potietin-
sky, one mile north OF Kuliencheng
and Chingow, villages on the I.itza-
yena river. Here the lighting was
protracted and severe. The Russians

few" guns. General Sassulitch says:
Although We were unable TO hold
our positions here we inflicted heavy
losses on the enemy"

Japanese tesseIs Unable to Continue
Trips tc San Francisco.

San Francisco, May with the
sailing of the America Maru on the
18th inst. the Tcyo kisen kaisha will
abandon its steamship service between
this port and the Orient until the close
of the war between Japan and Russia.
This information has been given out
officially. It is almost certain the
Nippon Maru. sister ship Of the Amer
lea Maru, has been sunk by the Rus
slams. The company has, therefore,
no vessels for its San Francisco serr-
ice and cannot at this time either char
ter or buy ships suitable for the serv-
ice.
Even if the company had available
S; amers it is doubtful if it could do
a1y business in and out of this port.
War insurance is up TO 45 per cent on
cargoes on Japanese vessels.
Up to the present time the company
has been unable to secure any freight
or passengers for return voyage OF the
America Maru and according to pres
ent indications, she will not carry a
pound of freight nor a single passen-
ger. She will leave here in ballast.

London, May 4.-Quite little breeze
was raised in the house Of commons
during the discussion of the budget
resolution increasing the duties on to.
bacco and cigars by Reginald Nc.
kenna. Liberal. who insinuated that
the chancellor of the exchequer had
been Influenced by Joseph Chamber
lain's tariff commission and certain
tobacco merchant who would reap di-
rect benefit from an increased duty
on stripped tobacco. Mr.. MeKenna re-
marked on the extraordinary increase
in the importation of unstripped to-
bacco in March by this representative
of the tobacco trust, who Is member
of the tariff commission. Both the
chancellor OF the exohequer, Austen
Chamberlain, ard his father jumped
up and heatedly demanded that Mr..
McKenna should formulate his charges
In express terms.
Mr.. Mckenna then disclaimed the
slightest intention of imputing any
thing dishonorable to the chancellor
of the exchequer, but he maintained
that ii was remarkable that a member
of Mr. Chamberlain's commission cor
rectly anticipated what the budget
proposals were going TO be.

CAR GREATLY GRlEvED.
Did Not Expect Such Severe Fighting
on the Yalu.

ST. Petersburg, May 4.-The emperor
is said to be greatly grieved over the
losses sustained on the Yalu. Those
who have seen his majesty say that he
was dumbfounded when he was in
formed of the heavy fighting which at
tended the passage of the river. AS is
we'll understood here General Kuropat-
kin's programme did not contemplate
such resistance to the Japanese ad-
vance. II is said, moreover. that Ku-
ropatkin himself was equally surprised
and so chagrined over the miscarriage
of his plans that he sent his first tele-
gram to the general staff and not di-
rect to the emperor. The understand
ing here is that General Sassulitch
had specific orders to avoid anything
BIKE a general engagement and it is
believed that the Russian commander
q. the front probably was deceived In
his estimate of the strength of General
kuroki's artillery. The only consola-
lion for the loss of the guns Is that
peing without their breechlocks they
are of no value to the enemy.
