WAR MOVES STILL HIDDEN
An ADVANCE ON THE LAO.
The Fighting at Da Pass-Assault
ON Port arthur Denied.

Harbin, Sept PA Japanese column IS re-
ported TO be advancing along the Lao River on
Tie Pass and the Russian troops are impatient
ly awaiting an engagement.
Further details received of the fight at Da
Pass say that the evening of September 10
the Russian scouts reported strong Japanese
forces to be moving behind the pass Da Pass
was occupied by General Mistchenko's and Gen
eral Samsonoff's troops. They allowed the Jap
anese to approach within short distance and
then fired several volleys and made counter
attack. routing and driving back the Japanese
who ran throwing away their guns and am
munition. They were pursued by the Russian
cavalry.
Having received reinforcements, the japanese
again advanced and attacked the Russians at
the same time endeavorfng 10 turn the latter
tanks, though the main attack was directed
against the Russian centre. The second attack
was also repulsed and the Russian cavalry again
pursued the Japanese. taking many prisoners
most of whom were wounded.
NfouLd.n Sent 24-The situation here can
not be definitely stated. each day brings forth
conflicting reports on one day it being sald
that the Russians expect the japanese to at
tack and the next that the Russians are assuin-
ing the offensive.
According to a Chinese report, the japanese
are actively engaged in fortifying Lao ahs.
and have completely demolished the ralIroau
bridge across the Tai-Tse River. of which tue
Russians succeeded in burning only the WOOD
work.
This city is quiet. The Russian advance
guards are several miles south of the Hun River
and the cavslry has penetrated twenty miles TO
the southeast.
The Chinese are nervous regarding the pos
sibility or damage being done to the sacred
toubs in case of a battle but the Russians nave
assured them of the safety OF the buildings
ST. Petersburg. Sept. PA dispatch from
General Kuropatkn dated yesterday, announces
that none OF the Russian detachments were en-
gagged during Thursday. and that all was quiet
along the entire front yesterday.
The alleged defeat of the Russians at San
Lun-Ku was probably trifling affair of out
posts. which General Kuropatkin did not think
deserving of special mention. 1t is interesting,
however. to note the presence Of a japanese
column at this point which confirms the state
ment that the Japanese are moving n fourth
army from DzIan-Chan. San-Lun-Ku is sit
uated ten miles west OF Da Pass. on short cut
between Dzian- Chan and Moukden.

THE CRUSADERS NEUTRAL CARGO
Belief in Portland That British Steamer Was
Not Held.

taken TO Hakodate cleared from this port Au-

sci was under charter to the Pacific Export Lum-
Der Company. and the cargo was consigned to

Admiral Chadwick, commanding the South
Atlantic squadron, has been detached from
that duty at his own request, for family
reasons, and has started home from Rio
