ANOTHER BATTLE.

Rome Sept. 2O.-A dispatch to the
.0enzia Liberia says that great battle
between the Japanese and Russians has
commenced at Mukdeu, to which place
General Kuropatkin retreated from Lao
wang. Gen. Kuroki, the dispatch says,
after a wide turning movement crossed
the Hunho river, and attacked the Rus
sian right flank with one hundred thou
sand troops. The total japanese force
is three times greater than that of the
Russians, and the conditions in the Vi
cinity OF Mukden are almost identical
with those at Liaoyang, except that the
Russian positions are inferior.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 20.-A telegram
received from Hardin this morning gives
details of the Operations ofGenerals Rem
nekampf and Samsonoff on Saturday last.
The former, after driving the japanese
outposts back, occupied Huonsiling.
Samsonof also repulsed the japanese
and occupied Tsagan, four versts distant
from the point occupied by Rennekampf.
There was some hot firing during these
movements. For example, four troops
of Japanese advanced near Vanupaots,
hut were met by terrific FIRE from two of
Samsonof7s guns, and were finally forced
to withdraw. A reconnaissance, says
the telegram, has revealed the fact that
strong japanese force holds fortified
positions in the direction of Vannapaotse.
St. Petersburg, Sept 20-A report
received from General Stoessel, conf
handing at Port Arthur, states that on
Sept. 10th, at three o'clock in the after
noon, japanese battalion attacked
aqueduct redoubt, but were repulsed.
They were reinforced and made a second
attack, but were again repulsed, with
heavy loss by rife and machine gun fir
ing.
London, Sept. 20.-The Chefoo CORE
spondent of the Reuter- Telegram Com
pany reports that general attack on
Port Arthur began before daybreak yes
terday and continued till nightfall. tits
believed the object of the Japanese was
to capture the main forts to the north
east.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 20.-General
Kuropatkin reports that a reconnaissance
OIL Saturday showed fortified japanese
position held by one infantry brigade
with twelve guns west OF Bjanewhudsa.
He further reports that cossack patrol
attacked Japanese pack-horse convoy,
and seized thirty horses with loads. The
greater part OF the enemy's forces at Lao
yang, he adds, have now crossed the river
Taitse.
London, Sept. 90 Baron Hayashi,
the japanese Minister, today made pub
lie report from Field Marshal Oyama
giving a list of further stores captured
when LiaOyang fell into Japanese hands.
Oyama reports that he obtaiued so, 600
bushels of grain, 500 tons of fuel, and
other stores not given in detail.
Ohefoo, Sept, 20 1t is reported here
that the japanese at Port Arthur yester-
day captured two important forts.

The Eve of the Coronation.

Belgrade, Sept. 20.-Crowds are
pouring into the capital for tomorrow's
coronation of King Peter. The town is
OVERLOOKING with visitors, many of whom
are experiencing great difficulty in OBJ
tanning accommodations. To add to
their discomfort steady rain is falling,
and those who have no place TO stop are
compelled to tramp the streets. The
hotel keepers are reaping rich harvest
from the occasion, charging $12 night
for rooms. A number of rich people,
however, have come to the rescue and
are filling their houses with strangers
gratis. The Princess Helena, King
Peters eldest daughter, arrived today.
She was met at the station by a guard
of honor, which conducted her to the
palace. The street decorations have
been ruined by the rain. The govern
ment has issued new stamps bearing
the heads of King Peter and his grand
father, and the dates lS04-1904.
The initial ceremony in the coronation
of King Peter took place this evening.
Peter, however, did not appear, only his
crown being borne through the streets
from the ministry building to the cathe-
dral. Immense honor was paid this
symbol, made from a cannon which
Kara-george captured from the Turks in
1904.

Eastern War News.

General Kuropatkin has been carry
ing out a series of reconnaissance in
force with view of learning the move
ments of the Japanese. He sent out
large bodies of Cossacks under Generals
Samsonof and Rennenkampf and re-
ports that the movement was "bril-
liantly" executed. The japanese were
found to be massing at Yentai and
Bentsiaputze, about 30 miles south and
southeast of Mukden. The hostile
forces got in touch and the Russians lost
"a few score" men, most of whom were
wounded.
A sortie from Port Arthur is reported
to have been repulsed with heavy loss.
The Gar has decided to form a
second Manchurian army, TO be formed
of the corps being sent to the Far East.
General Kuropatkin will become chief
of both armies and Lieutenant General
Lineyitch will command the second army.
Russis's answer to the American note
admitting that foodstuff, are not
necessarily contraband is regarded as an
important point for this country's trade.

Guarding Against Interference.

New York, Sept. 2O.-As a precau.
tionary measure against accident or
vandalism two squads of marines were
placed last night on guard around the
new battleship Connecticut at the navy
yard and the vessel will be illuminated
every night until launching on Septem-
Der 20. The big ship rests on the ways
which have been creased and the up
setting of a single block of wood might
send her plunging into the basin I'M
christened and uncheered. In the fear
that some malicious or mischievlous per-
son might creep into the yard and send
the ship splashing into the water ahead
of time, the construction department at
the navy yard has asked to have her
guarded.
