BATTLE PROGRESSING
NEAR VILLAGE OF TONCHEN

hurrying southwark from Tatchekfao
and as night fell battalions were con-
tinously moving out briskly to the &C
compartment of their battle songs.
Clouds of dust hung over the marching
columns and the chorus of the infan-
try singers was occasionally interrupt
ed by the rattle and clang OF guns
d avn at a smart trot and followed by
galloping squadrons of cavalry. It
was stirring spectacle to see the
Russian army eagerly Fastening to bat
tie. The old battle hymns last heard
in the Balkans resounded among the
hills and valleys, as with bayonets
glittering in the setting sun the regi-
mental colors were borne majestically
forward. For hours after darkness fell
over the scene one could still hear the
rattle of moving guns, the creaking OF
commissariat wagons and the tread of
marching men

Tatchekiao (between Kaichou and
Haicheng, Liaotung Peninsula), June
2S.-A great battle seems to be i'm
pending. A portion of the Russian
army has assumed the offensive
against the Japanese forces command
ed by General Oku and it is reported
that General Kuroki is moving along
the Russian left flank against Hal
cheng. According to high placed
parsonage General Kuroki's army is
strong enough to take the offensive
and he presumably is anxious for de-
cisive action before the rains begin.
Sharp firing was heard in the hills
at daybreak and severe fighting is re-
ported to be in progress near the vii.
lage of Tonchen. An officer who ar
rived here reported that the Russians
were gaining the upper hand and driv'
ing back the enemy. This, however,
has not yet been confirmed.

Neff got in front of the car. Seeing
she was about to be run down Mr.. Netf

LITTLE HOPE OF VICTORY.
Russian Officers Gloomy View Of the
Situation.

Russian Officers Gloomy View Of tho
Situation.
Tientsin, June pa correspondent
of the Associated Press has seen a
translation of a private letter from an
officer high in command under General
kuropatkin to brother officer giving
a gloomy view of the situation for Rus
STA and making disclosures. The writer
said:
1T is a shame to see officers con-
Btantly qua-reling, divided into cliques
and fighting for their own interests,
until Japan, the common enemy, is
forgotten. Every one, from the vice.
roy and kuropatkin to insignificant
subalterns is Quarleling and unwilling
to obey orders. In the eyes of the cor
respondents and foreign attaches we
are disgraced. Until the whole system
Is changed we cannot hope for victory.
Jealousy and suspicion are rampant
throughout the army. The members
of our secret service are SO busy spy
ing on each other that they cannot ap-
prehend the spies and Japanese agents,
who work with impunity. Japan seem
ingly knows every plan made by us,
which accounts for many plans having
been changed suddenly. Our brave SOL
diers 60 into battle like sheep to the
shambles. No one can deny their 10y
atty, but until they are properly off,
cered their loyalty and zeal are wasted.
Europe now knows we are a divided
house and will profit accordingly.
Those who have the welfare of Russia
at heart cannot. help feeling that If
Port Arthur falls and Japan takes Lao
yang the powers will intervene to our
eternal disgrace"

EXPECT IMPORTANT NEWS
AIR OF EXCITEMENT PERvADEs
:, RUSSIAN NAVAL AND MILL.
4" TARY CIRCLES.

r st. Petersburg, June 28.-Not since
the war began has such an air of ex-
element pervaded the war office and
admiralty. The news received during
the next few days is expected largely
to determine the fate of the present
campaign on land and sea. The spirits
Of the Russians have appreciably risen
ut the prospect that, after all, the sor-
tie of the squadron of Rear Admiral
without, in command of the naval
forces at Port Arthur, while it may
have resulted in the loss of some of
the Russian ships has been successful.
A dispatch from ,Chefoo says that a
Chinese junk reports having seen two
big Japanese warships and several
torpedo boats damaged on Friday near
Port Arthur. This strengthens the be-
lief here that great sea fight has oc-
CURED and that the Japanese: who
alone are able through wireless teleg-
raphy to be in constant communica-
ton with their base, are withholding
the news. The Vladivostok squadron
is at sea with the purpose of effecting
q juncture, as is generally believed,
with the Port Arthur squadron, and its
appearance on the scene could easily
turn the scale in favor of the Russians.
Decisive Battle Imminent.
Some usually well informed per-
sonages at the war Office are bold
enough to see In report received
during the morning by the. Bourse Ga
zette of the hasty retirement Of Gen.
eral Oku evidence that the Japanese
feet has suffered q reverse and that
the communication of this intelligence
to General Oku, with the accompany
ing threat that his base at Pitsewo
may be attacked, compelled his with
draWaL -~.
All. direct news from the land side
tie near Tatchekiao. According to the
Associated Press advices General XII
ropatkin is there, personally in com.
mand. The presence of the military
attaches and newspaper correspond.
ents is also significant. Kuropatkin's
purpose seems to be to try to prevent a
juncture of General Oku's and General
Kuroki's armies. The outposts are in
touch all along the line. If Kuroki has
met Kuropatkin's offensive move south
ward against Oku by an advance on
Haicheng, as the advices of the Asso'
ciated Press from Tatchekiao say, the
Russian commander-in-chief seems to
be seriously endangered unless he re
tires or is strong enough to present
two faces to the enemy. Kuroki was
only fourteen miles from the Russian
army Sunday, according to dispatch
from the front, and the three armies
are so close together that decisive
battle appears to be inevitable. #

STARTED FOR
WORLDS FAIR
Small Boy Attempts to Walk to
ST. Louis.

Pownal, Apr, IS a bright look
ing lad, about Il years of age stopp-
ed here Monday. He was en- route to
the St Louis exposition and from his
conversation with the Banner cores
pondeutit was found be was a runaway,
He claimed he had been attending
a private school at Montague when
he idea came to him that he would
visit the worlds fair at st Louis.
He made start all right, having
enough money to gel him through the
tunnel and to North Adams. He claim
ed to have jumped freight from tina
city to Williamstown, where he was
discovered and put off the train. Fr m
Williamstown to Pownal the trip was
made in the back of a farmers wag-
on.
At Pownal the boy was overtaken by
the storm and sought shelter at one of
the houses. Ten cents was all the
money he had, and the kind hearted
woman at whose house he remained a
couple of hours gave him food.
The boy evidently thought he had
covered a good share of the distance
between Montague and st Louis. He
was well dressed in a light colored
knee pants suit. He claimed his home
was in Boston, ehat his parents were
both dead. and that he had been
cared for and educated by near relat-
ives.
