General kuropatkin Explains the Bat
tie on the YaIu

ST PETERSBURG Nav 3.-General Kuro-
patti in s official report dated May 2, says
General Zassalitchs force retreated in
good order, eventually arriving at FenS
Wang Cheng. He attributes the losses
on the Yalu to the superiority of the
japanese artillery. The number of cash.
alties or of the guns lost are not speci-
fed by General Zassaltch.
According to information just obtained
from the general staff, General Zassa-
litch's entire force at the Yalu consisted
of fifteen rife battalions of 500 men each
and five batteries or forty guns. One
regiment. of three battalions and two bat
teries stationed at An Tung. did not par
ticipate in Sundays fighting and retired
without loss. The heights of Kiu Lien
Cheng and Husan We're held by four regi-
ments and four betteries, about 10000 men
and 80 guns, against 5000 Japanese and
100 guns, in addition to sixteen 12-pounder
siege guns landed from the gunboats.
These guns are considered by the Rus
slams to hove been responsible for General
Zassalitch's defeat as the Russian guns
mountain pieces.
Zassalitch had no reserves nearer than
Feng Wang Cheng. Reserves. it is added,
were unnecessary, as General Zassalitch's s
mission was only to observe and harrass,
but not to impede the japanese.
1T is like General Kuroki's luck that
General Zassalitcn should be such a
headstrong commander said an officer
IL is admitted by the general staff that
the japanese fanking move affected the
whole of the twelve battalions and three
batteries at Kiu Lien Chang and Litza
vena, which accounts for the desperate
character of the fighting. The Twelfth
and Twenty-second regiments suffered
the most. A great number of officers
We're killed or wounded and the gunners
of the captured pieces were either killed
wounded or made prisoners. One battery
had every man killed.
BATTERIES of Russian horse artillery
have 226 men in war time. horse mountain
batteries have 246 men and Cossack ar
tillery batteries have from 245 to 32i mem.
NO REPORT YET.
ST. Petersburg. May 3.-Under todays
date General Kuropatkin telegraphs as
follows:
Owing to the interruption of telegraphic
communication l have received no report
from General Zassalitch
According to the testimony of persons
arriving here during the night from Feng
Wang Cheng. the japanese on May /
were operating from the front with an
overwhelming force of artillery and at
tackled our left flank in superior force.
enveloping ii A hot fight occurred at
this point. The 22d and 18th regiments
of sharpshooters We're engaged, defending
themselves vigorously and on several oc-
casions taking the offense, infiicting con-
sidera BILE losses on the japanese.
Our small force could not hold this
position and retired, leaving several guns
in the hands of the enemy. Owing to
our heavy losses in men and horses we
could not proceed in carrying off the
guns. but the breechlocks were removed.

Will Abandon Service Until After War
Is Settled

San Francisco. May 3.-With the sailing
of the America Maru on the 18th instant
the Toyen KiSen Kaisha will abandon its
steamship service between this port and
the Orient until the close of the war be-
tween Japan and Russia. This informa-
ton has been given out officially. 1t is
almost certain the Nippon Maru has been
sunk by the Russians The company has,
therefore, no vessalS for its San Francciso
service and cannot at this time either
charter or buy ships suitable for the
service. Even if the company had avail
able steamers il is doubtful if II could
do any business in and out of this port.
War insurance is UP to 40 per cent on
cargoes on Japanese vessels.
Up to the present time the company
has been unable to secure any freight or
passengers for the return voyage of the
America Maru. and according to present
indications. she viii not carry a pound
of freight nor a single passenger. She
will leave here in ballast.

Why George Olney Resigned

The reason for George A. Olney $ resignation from the territorial board of equalization has been attributed by some papers to poor health, and by others to increasing business de- mands. The Graham Guardian de- clales that 'he resigned because he found that he could do no good on the board. He found the equalization board to be farce. He found that the rich corporations were assessed at less than half what they should be, and when he showed the board what an in significant amount the railroads are assessed at in this territory compared to what they are 1n the California side, he was given to understand that he had nothing to do with the matter, that the republicans had control of that board and so long as it was to their interest to shield wealth cor. porations they would do go, and tha, Mir. Olney had as well keep still. Then he resigned
