POtlettnSky an attack was being made on our left flank at Turenchen, and the Russian trenches had to be abandoned under the Japanese enfilading fire. Our reserves several times mingled with the first line, thus enabling 1t for a long time to maintain it's position.
 "A battalion of the Eleventh regi- ment, both Hanks of which were re- peatedly turned by the enemy, ad- vanced, with fixed bayonets, preceded by buglers to clear passage. The Japanese, however declined a hand to hand conflict and recoiled.
 Tn front of the regiment chaplain bearing cross was struck by two bull lets.
 Tt was only by advancing on the Japanese with the bayonet that some of the regiments were able to retire.
 "On the arrival of the battalion of the Tenth regiment all the troops were able to beat retreat.
 '"rhe losses of the Eleventh and Twelfth regiments were very great, but they are not yet exactly known. Tn the Eleventh the killed included Colonel Laming and Lieutenant Colo nels Dometti and Raievsky The Twelfth lost nine company command CTS killed or wounded.
 "The second and Third batteries of the Sixth brigade having lost the great CT number of their men and horses, were compelled to abandon their guns after rendering them useless. For the same reason six guns of the Third bat tery of the Third brigade of artillery and eight poulemetts which could not be brought away were also disabled. The mountainous nature of the coun- try made it impossible to save the guns by means of drag ropes.
 up to the present 800 wounded, in- cluding fourteen officers, have been brought to the hospital at Fengwang- cheng. Their eventual transportation elsewhere is fully assured.
 Japanese cavalry appeared to the southeast of Fengwangcheng; but, sec ing two companies with two guns op- posed to it, it did not venture to ap- proach.
 'sThe transportation of the wounded by hired Chinese bearers to Fengwang- cheng was very difficult. Two wheeled carts and horses lent by the cavalry were also utilized for this purpose. Most of the wounded, however, ar rived on foot, assisted by their com rades. and reached Fengwangchen within twentyfour hours.
 "Lieutenant General Zassalitch de- clares that the troops retained their morale notwithstanding the heavy loss es and are ready for fresh engage ments.
 "The Japanese losses were very heavy at the passage of the Ali river, at their position at Turenchen and on the hill occupied by the two battalions of the Eleventh regiment
 According to the statements of par ticipants in the battle, at least 5000 to 1000 were killed"

Russia's Baltic Squadron.

Paris, April 1.-THE St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Petit Parisienne
cables an interview which he had with
Rear Admiral Rojestvensky, chief of
the general staff of the navy. in the
course of which the admiral admitted
that he had been offered and accepted
the command of the Baltic squadron,
adding he was not certain whether the
squadron would go to the far East.
The Emperor. the admiral said. says
that the squadron is to be ready to
sail by June 18th next. but this is con
sidered too hasty movement in Of
fetal circles, where it is affirmed that
on the departure of the squadron
certain complication may arise in Eu-
rope.
Moreover, there will not be work
for seaman in the far East in Septem-
ber. for by then" said the admiral,
''the Japanese will have conveyed to
Korea sufficient cannon, ammunition
and provisions to enable them to car
ry on a campaign for many months.
The Japanese will not hesitate to
spend enormous sums for apparently
inadequate results, and this proves
that they are sure they can renew their
supplies and ammunition and that they
have safe friends who will furnish all
they need"
Questioned concerning the Japanese
snf3tics the admiral said:
Vice Admiral Togo is quite right to
remain faithful to his plan. although
the appearances were against him. We
know from sure source that he is
certain he can repair his vessels and
renew his supplies, even of heavy ar
tillery, if needful."
Admiral Rojestvensky expressed re-
gret that Russia did not take the initia-
tive in attacking, even in sacrificing
her fleet, if thereby she crippled the
Japanese navy"

Warships for Japan.

London. April 1.-THE two battle
ships ordered in England by Japan
will be exceedingly powerful. their
length. 445 feet, exceeding that of the
most powerful British battleships by
twenty feet. In order to meet the ca
pacity of docking accommodations. the
beam and draught have been fixed at
seventy-eight feet and twenty-six feet
respectively. Each will have dis
placement of 16.400 tons.
Their main batteries. it is said. will
be the most powerful yet devised, con
sisting of each four twelve-inch guns,
four ten-inch and five six-inch guns.
The armored belt at the water line
will be nine inches thick, with six
inch armor continuing to the level OF
the deck. A new feature will be a su-
perstructure of four-inch armor. in
surfing that no part of the upper works
will be unprotected.
Formal orders for these battleships
were placed by Japan with Vickers,
Maxim & Armstrong on January 3Oth,
the orders being to expedite their con
struction as speedily as possible. They
aaAto have a speed of nineteen knots
and will be able to discharge eleven
tons of projectiles per minute from
their main batteries.

st. Petersburg, April 10.-The gen
orally anticipated attack on Port Ar
thur did not occur last night, although
a telegram received from Grand Duke
Cyril reports that the enemy's ships
were sighted on the horizon. 1t is pre-
sumed that the Japanese were warned
of the extra precautions which had
been taken to guard against surprise.
There was no Easter merrymaking at
the front. By special dispensation the
soldiers and sailors were relieved OF
all religious observances on account OF
the necessities of the military situa-
ton. Vice Admiral Makaroff's torpedo
aotilla patrolled the open sea while the
warships with full steam up remained
outside Port Arthur.
Elsewhere throughout the theater OF
war all is reported quiet.
A high military authority in CONVEX
sation with the Associated Press, ex-
plained why General Kuropatkin's plan
of campaign does not contemplate a
heavy resistance of the japanese ad-
vance at the Yalu. saying:
Either defeat or victory in a pattie
there would be disadvantageous to us.
If we lost we would have to fall back

sGy is based on the idea of victory and
not defeat-success would be fruitless.
We could not follow it up without ex-
posing the army to too great risks.
"On account of the Japanese control
of the sea II we pursued the enemy into
the peninsula of Korea we would open
both fianks to a possible attack from
the rear No, the japanese must come
on to a point in the interior which,
with this end in view, has been select
ed, where we can follow up crushing
defeat to the bitter end with blow after
blow. and seal the fate of the cam
paign.
Our plans will converge at time
next summer when Vice Admiral Max
aroff's fleet will be relieved by the ar
rival of reinforcements. Then if sue
cessful on land we can clear the sea
of the enemy, cut his communications,
and the Japanese in Korea and Man
churia will then be at our mercy.
THE world must not be impatient
The prelude to this war is not yet fin
ished."
1t is understood here that as the re-
suit of General Kufopatkin's visit to
New Chwang, reinforcements OF lOO,-
600 men will be sent forward from Lao

Murderer ealbraith's Letters.

Denver. April lO.-In the city jail
Galbraith is being closely watched in
the fear that he will try to commit sui
eide. It was evidently his intention
to do SO, but whether his nerve failed
him or whether he wanted to live so
as to be with Mrs. Russell is not
known. The latter is the opinion held
by the police. But now that MS
crimes have found him out and there
is no hope for him. it is thought Gal
braith would seize the first opportuni-
ty to kill himself.
On the other hand, his numerous let
ters to friends and relatives make 1t
appear as If his suicidal inclinations
we're a bluff. He wrote brothers. sis
ters, friends and former Governor
Thomas. All these letters, under date
of March 18th. were found carefully
preserved in the pockets of his cloth
ing. One of these, to DR.. Fouts, was
as follows:
Friend Doc-Will you please get n
couple of the boys to go to the house
with you and see the wreck | have
made of life? You will have to break
in the front door as l have the key
Perhaps you had better send and have
the coroner go with you. | drank and

Immense Russian Army.

New York, April 11.-Russia keep
ing her secrets we'll continues to mass
her troops in Manchuria. where, ac-
cording to her own estimate, she now
has 100000 men under arms.
General Kuropatkin is well in touch
with the situation and after a visit to
New Chwang ordered 10000 reserves
to that place. The defences now are
now said to be perfect and the visit
of the general inspired fresh confi-
dence in both the military and civilian
residents.
In St. Petersburg the opinion was
expressed that Japan has missed her
opportunitq to land men at the head
of the Liza Tung gulf.
japanese warships were picked up
by the Port Arthur searchlights. but
disappeared as soon as they were dis
covered by the lookouts.

Russia Buying German Vessels.

Berlin. April 1.-THE Russian gov
ernment has not ceased its purchases
of German transatlantic liners.
1t is learned from a trustworthy
source that Russia at present is in ne
gotiation for the purchase of con
siderable number of German vessels.
These are to be armed, and. together
with the Smoleski and the Orel of the
Black Sea fleet are to form flying
squadron of fast cruisers.
The Fuerst Bismarck, which has
been renamed the Don, will join this
squadron.
The Russian government is also ne
gotiating with the French Compagnie
Trans-Atlantique.
Representatives of Sir William Arm
strong. the German yard at Germania
and other shipbuilding yards, have
been in St Petersburg for the last
three weeks discussing orders for new
warships with the Russian admiralty.
The fashion in which the sale of
German and transatlantic liners has
been denied up to the very moment
they were handed over to the Russian
government is the subject of some
hard comment in the German press.
The sale of the vessels, which are
in the list of German admiralty as
auxiliary cruisers in times of war,
shows a somewhat broad conception
of the word neutrality. The only ar
gument in favor of the course pursued
by Russia is that Japan probably in
tends to reinforce her navy by similar
means if it should be necessary.

continue proceedings in Iowa. but
which Doyle refused to do.
The trial at Council Bluffs was MAD
famous because of each side using "A
corps of detectives to watch witnesses

Doyle secured judgment against Burns
in December. 1902, for S449922, in ad-
dition to $4,000 costs and interest.
