REGULARS WELL BEHAVED.
In Two Weeks 5000 Have stolen but
 Two Chickens.

7
 Corps Headquarters, Gainesville. Va, Sept. 2.--Five thousand regular army troops have been roaming a territory comprising 65,o00 acres of Virginia farms for nearly two weeks, and the only depreciation reported thus far has
 been the loss of two chickens. This record is a gratifying surprise even to the regular army officers, and Is an ex- ample to the militiamen who are to pour into the two maneuver camps to- morrow. When the farmers of the maneuver zone were approached by army officers with proposition to lease their lands for the maneuyers they were
 given pledges that there would be no Idepredations. These promises have been fulfilled to the letter.
 The damage board, consisting of Will liam H. Brown, an ex-offieer of the Con- federate army and banker and farmer of Gainesville; Colonel John A. Hull, of the e-advocate's department Of the army, and Captain T. c. Grimsley, of the Twelfth regiment of the Virginia National Guard, has been organized. The damages to farm caused by the camps and maneuvers are to come be- fore this board for adjustment and pay
 ment, which is to be made by an appro- |priation by congress. Officers will be in the field during the maneuvers charged with the duty of interviewing farmers
 and at once agreeing, if possible, with them on the amount of damage done.
 This agreement will be made in writing
 and placed before the board.

STILL HOLDING HAeK NEWs.
St. Petersburg Fall. to Give out Prom ised Dispateh.

4
 St. Petersburg, Sept. 3.-3:19 a. m.- The text of the dispatch sent to the emperor by General Kuropatkin Thurs day evening, the gist of which as given out by the war office was cabled by the Associated Press at 4:50 o'clock Friday afternoon, was not made public Friday night as was expected. It was promised to the local press and was awaited with feYerish impatience until 2 o'clock this morning, when it was announced that it would be issued to- day. All the news, therefore, as far as St. Petersburg is concerned, is contain ed in telegrams from foreign sources.
 Continued and dogged confidence in General Kuropatkin is expressed in many quarters and the public general ly, as well as many of the military au- thorities, absolutely refuse to believe that Liao Yang has been abandoned, or if it has been abandoned, that General Kuropatkin Is not in a better position to make a strong stand north of the Taitse river.
 There seemed to be an air of con- siderable confidence at Peterhof Fri ! day night. An official who saw the enl- peror Friday afternoon said that his majesty was extremely confident and in good spirits.
 Experts who are familiar with the nature of the intricate and powerful de- lenses constructed north of the Tattse tby General Velitchko, one of Russia's foremost army engineers. believe that the Japanese are facing an almost inn possible task in attacking them, es- pecially with divided forces. It Is pointed out that General Kuro- ki will have to make a considerable de- tour to reunite his forces. The bridge heads abutting on the north bank of the Taitse river are strongly defended by entrenched artillery, while it is un- derstood that there is a strong rear guard still on the south bank to contest the Japanese advance, thus making the bridges utterly irnpracticable for the Japanese crossing. The rive ritself, therefore, becomes an important factor in the general scheme of defense. A temporary lull in the fighting would not be surprising. The men on both sides have already made almost super human efforts and it is thought that there must be soon q let up of some lsort.
 The report that Rear Admiral Prince l IOuktoomsky, now in command of the naval forces at Port Arthur, is to be courtmartialed utterly lacks confirna- tion The story possibly originated in the same sources as the earlier report of his despotism and of his suicide at Port Arthur.

 "A private dispatch received here re- srports that great fires are raging at Liao nNang. This statement is not confirmed afbfficially. The fires are believed to re- $ suit from the Japanese shelling or from lfthe efforts of the Russians to destroy shheir stores preparatory to the evacua- yttion of Liao Yang, with the additional hhope of injuring the city as a future s base.

 New Britain. Sept 2.-Judge Lyman S. Burr. former judge of the city and police courts and for upwards of twen- ty years practicing attorney of this city, was arrested at his home on Hart street at F o'clock to-day on the charge of the embezzlement of funds Samuel Danforth approached him.
 amounting to s5, ,4s8.5s. Judge Burr was sitting on the veranda when Officer Samauel Danforth approache dhim.
 The judge retired from the bench be- cause of deafness two years ago so he did not at first grasp the meaning of the officers visit. Later he remarked that he had expected it. In, fact there i is reason to think that he was aware I of the existence of the writ since last Monday. The writ was made out by Prosecuting Attorney H. c. Gussman on complaint of the heirs of the estate.
 The arrest of Judge Burr was an un- pleasant task to all the officials con- cerned. They had been associated with him in the courts for years and when defective hearing caused his retirement there was general sympathy for him. He attracted attention on the day of his last sitting in the court by giving went to certain Ingersolian utterances which were widely printed. They did not tend to stamp him as man of strong religious belief In many re- spects, however, the judge has been popular and he has been prominent in societies. He was detained under $5, 900 bonds to be tomorrow brought before the court in which he had for so many years presided. He is about fifty-one years of age and has a wife and fam l fly. Bonds were furnished by ex-Mayor George W Corbin.

 The lack of definit einformation from 1e seat of war continues up to this Saturday, morning, and nothing fur her regarding the situation at Liao ang is known beyond the fact that Suropatkin has withdrawn the main ortion of his forces to the north, or lght bank of the Taitse river, and that, ccording to the latest advices, the ac- lon is still in progress.
 There is disinclination in St. Peters

 Corps Headquarters, Gainesville, Va, Sept. 2.-The quiet that precedes the storm prevailed in the three maneuver camps to-day. The programme of prac- tice marches and scouting for the pur- pose of gaining familiarity with the country was continued. General Cor bin, accompanied by his stan and Cap tain Brewers troop of the Seventh cavalry rode during the morning. Gen eral Bell in command of division No. ? Thoroughfare put in the day in the saddle and General Grant, who is to attack General Bells forces Monday night did likewise.
 There are upward of fifty men un- der medical treatment in the two camps at the present time. An incident in the construction of an observation tower at Manassas has resulted in the in jury of two enlisted men. The medical corps estimate that the percentage of sick in camp is no greater than usual among the same number of men. The medical corps is to take advantage of the maneuvers for it's own develop ment and as an object lesson to the militia. Persons are to be put out of action with specific wounds, at the ra- tio of two to company. These men ara to be cared for and treated the same as if they were actually wounded in the manner in which the ambulance tagged. Tn this way the ambulance and hosptila corps will have an active part in the campaign.
 Most of the militia troops which are to participate in the maneuvers are now on their way and will begin to ar rive early tomorrow morning. The Twelfth New York will arrive at Thor ioughfare at 5 o'clock tomorrow morn- ing. The detrainment of troops is one of the lessons to be taught by the maneuvers, and great preparations are being made by the officials of the Southern railway to make the lessons perfect in all details.
