Heavy Rains.

Donaldsonyille was visited with
quite q heavy rain late Thursday
night, the precipitation measuring one
inch. A high east wind preceded the
downpour and probably inflicted slight
damage on the cane and cotton crops.
Yesterday afternoon a terrific rain
fell, accompanied by a brilliant
electrical storm. At Evan Hall the
rain gauge shows that the total pre-
cipitation Thursday night and yester-
day was 1856 inches. Tt is estimated
that fully two inches of rain fell at this
place within a period of two hours
Yesterday afternoon.

FIGHTING WAS DESPERATE
RUSSIAN REPORT OF THE RECENT
ENGAGEMENT IN VICINITY
OF PORT ARTHUR.

Mukden, July 2.-Heavy fighting is
reported to have occurred near Port
Arthur June 26, resulting in the Rus
sian withdrawal from Guinsanshan
after severe losses on both sides.
The Japanese fleet approached Siao
pingtao, midway between Port Dalny
and Port Arthur, on the morning OF
June 26 and bombarded the coast north
of the bay SO far as Uitheloshan
Strong Japanese forces which had been
landed, then attacked the neighborine
heights which were occupied by Rus
sian rifiemen. Three times the Japan
ese were driven back with heavy loss
es, but the Russians were forced 70
retire from their main position neal
Guinsanshan. The Japanese reinforced
their advance guard and pressed the
attack. After several fruitless as
saults on Guinsanshan the japanese
commander sent a strong column
along the central road from Dalny tc
Port Arthur, with the object OF turn.
ing the Russian left, forcing the Rus
SLAMS to retire.
The Russians lost seven officers and
nearly two hundred men killed. The
Japanese losses are believed to be
much larger, as during the battle they
passed over mine which the Rus
SLAMS successfully exploded.

capital at tuQ IGy S reports from the
theater of war From the headquar-
ters at Mukden came the positive
statement, made apparently on direct
news from Port Arthur and probably
brought by the torpedo boat Lieuten-
ant Burukoff to Newchwang, that none
OF the big Russian warships sustained
any damage during the japanese tor
pedo boat attacks of June 20 and "a.
Also came the report that the Japan
ese have lost thousand men in
land fight before Port Arthur. From
Liaoyang came two separate reports
that MAJOR General Mistchenko had
dealt the Japanese advance from Stu
yen a severe blow by recapturing Dalin
pass, which was lost June n. One or
these reports, dated Thursday, says
General Mistchenko has been fighting
the Japanese for several days, cap
turing three guns and an ammunition
train Not any of these reports are
official
Testimony from all sources at the
front shows that the rainy season has
set in in Southern Manchuria, which
may bring the military operations to
an abrupt close without general en-
gagement The opinion here is that
the Japanese, or account OF the dis
tance from their base, are liable to
suffer the most transport difficulty ow-
ing to the heavy roads, and that they
may find themselves In a critical posi-

SEVERE FIGHTING IN The VICINITY
MIKADo's TROOPS SAID TO HAVE
LOST HEAVILY IN RECENT
ENGAGEMENT.

Chefoo, July "A party of Russians
and Chinese arrived here during the
day by junk direct from Port Arthur.
They report for several days shells
from both land and sea have been fall
ing In the town, but doing little dam
age.
The Russians, who resisted the ad.
vance of the Japanese, suffered Sc
verely. Many dead and wounded men
have been brought to Port Arthur.
The hospital there is oyercrowded.
II Is difficult to obtain correct infor-
nation in regard to the fleet The
Russians maintain that it is intact,
with the exception of the battleship
Sevastopol, which is being repaired.
The Chinese confirm the previous
reports that a large ship is ashore

The Japanese have captured two
small forts ten miles east of Port Ar
thur.

RAINY SEASON BEGINS.
Roads impossible In Some Parts OF
Manchuria.


Liaoyang, July 2.-The Chinese say
the real rainy season has begun. The
roads In some places are absolutely
impassable During the march of one
division many were drowned and 9TH
ers barely escaped like fate. A
number OF horses were lost in the
swollen streams. Subsequent railroad
washouts have increased the difficulty
of transport However, a decisive bat
tie is still regarded as possible within
the next few days In the northeast re-
gion between Baicheng and Kaichou,
where the armies of Generals Kuroki
and Oku have concentrated.
The Japanese have retired from Da-
lin pass and are moving In a north
easterly direction on the Liaoyang
road. They have appeared in great
force at Fenshui and Molten passes,
outfianking the Russian positions. The
Russian Eastern divisions continue to
retire before superior numbers, but
are keeping in close touch with the
enemy. II is considered probable that
the combined armies of KuroM and
Oku will concentrate at Haicheng or
Kaichou and await the end Of the rainy
season. II soon will be impossible to
send troops through the passes from
the mountains into the valley.

UNTIL AFTER RAINY SEASON
Russian Military Critic Opposes Idea
of Big Battle.

st. Petersburg, July 2.-The mill
tary critic of the Russ. who is usually
well informed, strongly opposes the
idea of a big battle before the end OF
the rainy season. He expresses the
opinion that the japanese only wish
now to assure possession of the Lao
tung peninsula and that their present
objective is to capture Kaichou, which
would compel the evacuation of New
chwang and permit landings on the
west coast.
The critic considers the movements
of the Japanese north, across the Fen
shut range, as being simply diver
sion to facilitate the taking of Kai-
chou and he declares that Kaichou will
not be surrendered without fight.
But, he adds, it will not have a de-
cisive character. The critic further
predicts that General Kuropatkin will
adhere to his plan to withdraw north
ward to his main position at Liaoyang
and await the end of the rainy season.
He seems to assume the success of the
Japanese plan of combination of the
First and Third Japanese armies and
the isolation of the peninsula.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1904-07-02
DECIDES NOT TO FIGHT.
Report From Mukden Says kuropatkin
Will Retreat.

Newchwang, July "A telegram
from German sources at Mukden says
General kuropatkin has decided not
to fight at Tatchekiao or Haicheng.
but to retreat from Tatchekiao, which
movement was started June 28 and Is
we'll under way. Small detachments
of troops will, il is added, stay south
to stem the Japanese until the Russian
retreat is i'm full swing. 1t is not be-
lieved here that the Russians will be
able to reach Liaoyang, as the Japan
ese control the passes, which would
indicate that the Russian line OF COM
munication may be cut.
The crew of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Lieutenant Burukof, which
arrived here from Port Arthur June
49, say they left Port Arthur Tuesday
night in fog and rain and near Hooky
light got out of the course and ran
aground at the Bittern shadows, near
Helen bay, on the west coast of the
peninsula. They got off in two hours.
When the fog lifted several of the Jap
anese torpedo boat destroyers were
seen coming toward the Lieutenant
Burukoff which was saved only by her
speed. She is said to be the fieetest
torpedo boat destroyer in the Russian
navy.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1904-07-02

was In progress at O'Clock p. m. mid
way between Chefoo and Port Arthur.
The steamer Chefoo, which has ar
rived here, passed within fifteen miles
of the Japanese fleet, consisting of
two batGleships and five cruisers, all
actively engaged. The Russian feet
was not seen, but the distance of the
Japanese from land preciudes the pos
sibiiity OF any attack on the land bat
teries The captain of the Chefoo
says he heard terrific explosion, but
was unable to discern whether a Jap
anese or a Russian ship was affected.
The battle is held here to confirm
the Chinese report that only four of
the larger Russian warships were at
Port Arthur Thursday night.
