DISPATCHES ARE CONFUSING
OFFICIAL REPORTS DO NOT GIVE
A CLEAR IDEA OF THE SIT
UATICN AT LiAOYANG.

London, Sept. 3.--Beyond establish
ing the fact that Kuropatkin has with
drawn the main portion of his forces
to the north bank of the Taitse river
and that the action is still in progress
the days dispatches do not give a
clear idea of the situation at Lao
yang. Accepting ST. Petersburg adj
vices at their face value it would seem
that the Russian commander effected a
partial retirement, placing the river
between himself and the main body
establishing a position that will en-
able him to oppose the force under
General Kuroki which succeeded In
crossing the river and is now attack
ing the Russian left. The same dis
patches say that the position Kuro-
patkin now occupies is the one he had
prepared and fortified and where he
has all along planned TO make his Sec
ond stand instead of directly in and
around Liaoyang with the river at his
back, as has been believed
On the other hand Toxic dispatches
say that the Russians were closely
pressed and most disorganized In their
retirement across the river. The re-
port from Marshal Oyama that he was
engaged with the Russian center
would indicate that at least portion
of Kuropatkins army is still on the
south bank Of the river. While 1t is
pot definitely stated that the japanese
have occupied Liaoyang Toxic reports
that the town Is burning. 1t does not
appear that the Japanese main army
has as yet crossed the Taitse and de-
tails of the days fighting are entirely
lacking Oyama reports that his losses
from Aug. 80 to Sept. l were 10000.
The Russian casualties of Aug. 81 and
Sept. are given in official reports as
5000 killed and wounded.

DOING BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
Venezuela Rapidly Paying Off Claims
of Allied Powers.

Washington, Sept. 3.--Venezuela is
doing better than was expected in the
settlement of the judgments rendered
against her by the mixed commissions
and instead of taking ten years to
dispose of the claims of the allied pow
ers-Great Britain, Germany and Italy
1t appears that these will now be
settled in full in about two years and
ii the same amount of revenue con.
tinues to be received at La Guiara
at Puerto Cabello as at present even
the claims Of the non-allied powers
will be discharged within four and one
half years after the allies are paid.
Minister Bowen has made this matter
the subject OF special report to the
state department from Caracas under
date of Aug. 20 and he presents the
detailed statement of the award made
to each government by the mixed COM
missions

RETURNING TO UNITED STATES
Correspondents Dissatisfied With Jap
anese Rules.

Chefoo Sept. 3.-Richard Harding
Davis and John Fox, Jr., American
newspaper correspondents, have ar
rived hero from the headquarters OF
the Seconl Japanese army and will
leave for the United States Sept. 8.
They say that the foreign attaches and
newspaper correspondents with the
Second army witnessed the battle of
Aug. 26 from a distance of eight miles
and that this was SO unsatisfactory to
them that they united in round robin
to the Japanese authorities protesting
that because of this restriction on
their movements their usefulness was
at an end.
General 0ku replied, saying that in
the future they would be permitted to
witness engagements from distance
of four miles, whereupon Davis and
Fox, together with Melton Prior and
George Lynch, British correspondents,
left the Second army.
