Expected Soon in Vicinity of Lacy
ang-Japanese Generals Forward.

Liaoyang, Aug. 29.-The Russians
retired from Anshanshan yesterday,
after a fight which commenced on the
morning of August 26 and continued
in desultory manner all day and
night
Arrangements for battle had been
completed by night time, when the
order to retire was given on account
of the situation to the east.
The order was received with disap-
pointment by the troops The retire
ment was made in an orderly man
ner.
Transportation between Anshanshan
and Haicheng was blocked by Japan
csc troops. who burned the bridge and
shelled the railway station after the
Russians retirement.
The Russian loss amounts to 300
The Japanese are advancing with
great rapidly.
The Russian forces have been dis
appointed by another unexpected with
drawal. The whole eastern division
and the troops on the Anshanshan po-
sition have been ordered to fall back
to positions nearer Liaoyang just as
the soldiers were expecting another
advance
The Japanese are not following the
Russians.
The advance from the south is APP
parently being pushed home. Sounds
of artillery from that direction are
palmer than they were yesterday.
The Chinese at Liaoyang are bring
ing out women and children, which
they usually do when expecting a Jap
anese advance.
Artillery Battle in Progress.
London, Aug 29-According to a
dispatch of todays date to the Central
News from Liaoyang, an artillery bat
tie has been in progress since o'clock
this morning near Liaoyang. The Rus
sian main position the dispatch says,
is what formerly was the outpost line
of the Liaoyang garrison.
Reports Heard in Japan.
Toxic, Aug. 29-The general stah
maintained silence throughout the day
concerning the fighting in the vicinity
of Liaoyang. 1t is reported that Gen
eral Kuroki has seized and cut the
railroad south of Mukden, thus sepa-
rating the Russian forces and cutting
Liaoyang off from a direct line of re-
treat, but confirmation of this report
can not be obtained.
The fighting reported occurring east
and southeast of Liaoyang is regarded
here as preliminary to a larger con-
Jest III the immediate vicinity of Lao
yang. 1t is expected that Generals
Kuroki, Oku and Nodzu will pre- > for
ward speedily.
A Russian correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press, in describing the two
days fight of August 25 and 26, says:
'The fight developed not only the
immense strength of the japanese ar
tillery, but involved several hand to
hand fights and bayonet charges.

JAPANESE CLOSE 1.-THE PORT
ARE WITHIN MAIN DEFENsES
AND GUNS COMMAND TOWN.
Russians Furious Counter Attack
Japs Are Occupying Positions Gain
ed by Heavy Cost-Entire Detach-
ment of Japs Wiped Out Attempting
to Capture Fort No. 5.

London, Aug 30-The Chronicles
correspondent with General Kuroki,
cabling under date of August "a, via
Fusan August 25, says:
"The fall of Port Arthur is immi-
nent. The Japanese are now within
the main defenses and their guns
command the town. Desperate fight
ing occurred night and day, and the
losses on both sides are enormous.
The Russians are making furious
counter attacks, but the Japanese are
closing in to the positions they have
won at such a heavy cost"
The correspondent at Tientsin of
the Standard, cabling Saturday after
noon, says
"Conirmatory details, just arrived,
represent the Japanese as having
reached point within 1900 yards
from the new town at Port Arthur
on the west side, and as being within
mile of the east dock basin on the
east side. Strong reinforcements, it
is said, are hurrying up from Dalny
and Pitsewo, leaving reserves at botn
places"
Closing In on the Town.
Chefoo, Aug. Authorization, which
to a great extent confirms previous re-
ports of the conditions at Port Arthur,
was received here today by junks
which left there on August "a and 26
The most important statement
agreed to by passengers on these
junks confirms the reports that the
Russians have been driven from the
fort Immediately east of the railroad.
This fort is named Rihlungshan, and
is located on the tail of the Dragon
hills. along the SUBMITS of which the
eastern defenses of Port Arthur are
built.
When the Russian forces retired
from Fort Itseshan they entered Fort
No. Is, to the north of Chaockanko.
while it was raining, the Japanese at
tempted to storm fort Antshan, which
is a strong position adjoining Itseshan,
toward the city, but they were re-
pulsed with heavy losses.
During the night of August % he
role band of 500 Japanese attempted
to capture Fort Me- 5, in the midst
of storm. Almost the entire detach-
ment was killed. The Chinese declare,
however, that the Russians have
evacuated Fort No. 5, but whether by
reason of this assault or the Japanese
artillery fire can not be learned. The
Japanese are unable to occupy No. 5.
The fighting from August II to Aug
ust % was severe. but since the lat
ter date it has been comparatively
light.
On August &c the fort on Liaoti
mountain was fired on from six Jap
anese torpedo boats. but the result of
this action is not known.
The Russian marines have left the
ships in the harbor and are working
at the land batteries.

NOW FIGHTING ON LAND.
Japs Make a Terrific Attack but Are
Driven Back

Driven Back.
Contrary to the expectations of the
Russians, the Japanese are beginning
to advance along the whole line of the
Russian eastern front On the morn
ing of August "a there was a rife
skirmish, and the next day the Jap
anese artillery opened fire. On both
days the firing ceased at dusk, and
the small energy displayed by the
Japanese might have been taken to
indicate that it was merely a demon
stration of a reconnaissance in force.
On the morning of August rs, how
ever, the rifle and artillery fire was
renewed with an energy that left no
doubt that a severe battle was intend
ed
The Japanese pushed their attack
against the Russian right flank and
center, concentrating their fire on the
first battery of the Third brigade
Three officers and several men were
wounded early in the day, but the
battery held its position and replied
to the Japanese fire with such marked
effect that General Ivanoff (who com
mands the late General Keller's corps)
sent congratulatory message to it's
commander The Japanese several
times attempted to cross the Tankie
(Link) river, but only a few succeed
ed, and these We're forced to hide in
the fields of Chinese corn

The engagement continued through
out the day east and south of the
town. The Japanese directed a strong
cannonading against the Russian po-
sitions, the firing lasting from day
light until l p. m. Hospital trains
are being sent toward the front.
Cossacks Behave Well.
The Japanese column advanced I'M
der severe bombaroment but was not
checked by the Cossacks, who were
concealed in the fields of Chinese corn.
The Cossacks behaved splendidly,
standing off the Japanese attack for
three hours, but then were forced to
retire in the face of strong Japanese
announcements ny the Shells lHTOWu
by the latter's howitzers. The Rus
sian batteries then opened for the
first time, and the Russians support
ing the Cossacks, rusned forward, 81
lencing the Japanese guns.
The Russians lost two officers and
so men wounded
Russian Casualties over 1000.
Russian casualties are placed at
over 1000 in the report of General Ku-
ropatkin, relative to the fighting near
Liaoyang. The Japanese also sustain
ed serious losses, while "a of their
guns are reported to have been put
out of action.

THE LOVE OF
 LETTER WRITING.

It was a wise man that once said, write nothing; destroy nothing. Some persons have a mania for letter writing. It has become a disease with them. Morning, noon and night they are punctually at the post office mailing letters. Like the person who is continually talking, they will event uaily say something they did not mean so say, and as surely with the pen will write something they should not have said on paper
 What could have prompted the writ CTS of the Bubonic Plague screeds must be only known to those who die tated the contents, which, spread be- fore the communities in distant parts Injurious information which had not the slightest foundation, in fact, as te the health conditions of Bisbee.
 No person in this city ever heard of the Bubonic Plague in this city until these reports were headed outward in the mails.
 The love. of gossiping through the medium of the pen is probably as nat ural as with tongue, and when the EOS ip is concerning the manner in which cur neighbors chew their gum, or laugh cut in the theaters at the moment that a deathbed scene is being enact ed, no particular harm is done, all though these things might be omitted.
 There is no Bubonic Plague in Bis bee. There never was case of Blu bonic Plague in Bisbee. People are not dying off by the dozens, and every person that can get away from Bisbee is not leaving. Such statements are absolutely without foundation, devoid of the semblance of truth, and wholly destitute of fact in any light or regard It would seem almost useless to en deavor to keep up with the silly sto ries which emanate from fertile imagi- nations. They are not worthy of no tice, and the only surprise is that any newspaper of today, even though it be little country sheet with padded in- side, would fill their columns with the rot they seemingly delight in obtain. ing, when the truth can so easily be had, and when the world is furnishing so much that is really news. But some of them seem to like it, and they would not print it probably unless they thought their readers enjoyed it. IT the meantime always beware of pro life writer.

Cars Runaway
 In Bisbee Yards
BRAKES WOULD NOT HOLD THE HEAVY LOADS, AND THEY RAN DOWN THE TRACK
 AND THROUGH A
 SWITCH.

Last evening at about 5 o'clock two silica loaded cars started down the grade in the depot yards at this sta ton. They ran several hundred feet and left the rails at a switch, going more than their own lengths over the ties. One rail was badly bent and number of ties were broken. No oth CT damage resulted. The brakes would not hold the heavily loaded cars, which was the cause of the runaway.
 The Benson-Douglas train pulled into the yards soon after the acci dent, and the passenger engine va: used to pull the runaways back onto the track.
 Contractor O'Connor's men, who were working in the subway, were put to work at once on the damaged DOT ton of the track, and within fort, minutes after the cars ran away a new rail was in place and new ties replaced the broken ones.
