BATTLE PORIENT
IN JAP SILENCE
Toxic Looks on Lack Of Official
News as Token Of
Combat.
RUSSIANS CONTINUE
MARCH FROM MUKDEN
Estimates Place Losses on Both
Sides at Liao-yang
at 10000.
SUMMARY OF WAR
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reports are still current that the
Russian army is effecting a retro
grade movement from Mukden, tho
st. Petersburg officials say they are
unable to confirm them. Only brief
dispatches have been received to-
day from the seat Of war, and they
leave the situation rather vague.
No fighting has occurred beyond
occasional contacts Of outposts, a
condition probably due largely to
the heavy rains which dispatches
say now prevail, preventing any
extended movements Of either
army.
No official figures on the losses
Of the battle Of Liao-yang have
been given out, but estimates still
place the casualties on both sides
at not far from $4,000 to 10000.
The news silence continued unbro-
ken from Toxic, no advices bearing
directly on operations having been
received from that source for sew
eral days.

GRAND ASSAULT TUESDAY
Japs Prepare for Storming Port Arthur
in Force.

Chi-fu, Sept. 10, Noon.-Japanese
grand assault on Port Arthur, which,
It is rumored, was planned by the Jap,
anese for today, has been postponed
until Tuesday next, Sept. Ii, and that
a still further postponement is possible,
as the Japanese intended to make every
possible preparation before again hurl-
ing themselves upon the wornout gar
rison.
A Chinaman who left Port Arthur on
the evening of Sept. confirms the re-
ports of heavy fighting from Aug; q
to Aug. 81, when he and many. others
worked night and day burying the
dead, which included Chinese, Russians
and Japanese indiscriminately. He
says that during this fight four forts
lin the vicinity of Rih-lung-shan were
captured. The Russians signaled the
garrisons Of these forts to retire, where
upon the Japanese occupied them, but
were compelled to retire later under q
| heavy bombardment. Previous reports
said that the Japanese had only en-
tered one fort during this attack.
Since Aug. 81 fighting has been COM
paratively unimportant. The Russians
1 have since remounted guns upon the
1 four forts above mentioned.
The Chinaman also confirms the re-
4 port of three-hours attack upon Fort
4; Ise-shans on the morning of Sept. q

WAR GAME TOO MUCH !.
FOR THE MILITIAMEN


Corps Headquarters, Gainesville, Va,
Sept. 1O.-Half of the 3militiamen who
participatedNin the four=days' maneu-
vers were too badly used up to par
ticipate in the review at Wellington to-
day. Thesreview closed the annual army
maneuvers for the Atlantic division, the
reviewing officer being Lieutenant Gen
eral Chaffee Of the general staff, accom-
panied by Inspector General Burton.
There was nothing like mutiny or
dissatisfaction among the men who were
excused from the parade. In some cases
whole regiments were declared unfit
for the march to the reviewing ground
by the medical officers in charge, The
trouble in almost every case was sore
feet. The Virginia roads are exceeding
ly stony and the marching, which was
of an exceedingly strenuous and con
tinuous character, has been executed
with accoutrements which weighted thu
men down.

Eiland, president of the Bank of
Portales, who disappeared suddenly
from his home month ago and was
held in Mexico by brigands for ransom,
has arrived home just twenty four days
after his sensational capture, and dur
ing all that time he was held a prisoner
bound with ropes, by the Mexican out
laws. The outlaws were constantly on
the. move, and the prisoner was fed
solely on meal in the twenty four days
Of his captivity. AS a result he lost
between forty and fifty pounds in
weight.
Eiland finally effected his escape from
his captors at night after spending
hours in rubbing his hands against the
sharp rocks till the thongs parted
when he managed to break them by ex
erting all his force. Procuring weapon
from the sleeping outlaws he mounted
