Passengers Kept in Ignorence.


A large hole was stove in the star
board bow of the steamer, and she
began to fill rapidly. The nearest avail
able landing, however, was that at Il
resort known as Tourists Home, and
Captain Harrington made for this
point with the greatest possible speed.
So thorough were the precautions
taken against producing panic among
the passengers that hardly any of them
knew, until they were safe ashore, that
there had been any danger.
Obstruction That should BE Moved.
Immediately after landing the pas
sengers an attempt was made TO run
the boat farther up the river, but the
water poured in through the hole in
the bow faster than the emergency
pump could get rid of it. 1t was found
necessary TO run the boat ashore She
sank soon after being beached, and
the stern is entirely submerged. A div
er was set at work at once TO repair
the damage, and the Post Boy will
be raised within a few days She is
owned by the Macatawa Park COM
pany. IT is said that three other boats
have been punctured this season on
the same obstruction that damaged the
steamer Post Boy.

Torrents sweIIed the Streams and Pre-

Japanese Sustained But Small Losses
in Comparison--Srany Gums Are Cap-
tured by Brown Men.
/ Toxic, Japan There is a strong aD-
! peal for peace in the appalling tragedy
which has been under enactment in
Manchuria. Both armies had been
| lighting around Shakhe ferociousIy for
a week, and the desperate lighting still
continued. 1t is probable that the
death roll will be largely increased be-
fore the final shot is fired
The preliminary reports indicate that
in this battle about co. 900 men Of both
sides have been either killed or
wounded, the larger portion of them
being Russians.
Field Marshal Oyama estimates the
Russian dead left on the field, includ-
ing those killed In the latest fighting,
at over 10000 Detailed reports re-
ceived here show that this estimate
| will probably be exceeded.
1t is reckoned, applying the usual
calculation as to the ratio of killed to
wounded, that the Russian casualties
exceed 10000.
The Right Army (Kuroki's) alone has
buried 1900 Russians. A dispatch from
the Japanese field headquarters says:
"The losses sustained by the army
opposing our Right Army so far as as
certained are as follows:
Bodies left near Pensihu on the left
| bank of the Tai-Tse River, $50: in
front of our Pensihu detachment, 1900;
ut Talien, 300; near Tumentsu, 300; be-
fore the right column, 200; near Kiou-
inkolz and north of Tumentsu, 1900;
near Chienlao, 800; north Of Panlassan
and near Wumingsu, $780, before the
! left column near Shaotakou and north
ward, 200; total, 1900.
1.-THE number left in other places has
not been counted yet, but it is large.
1.-THE enemy's loss in this direction
must exceed 10000 Among the tro-
plies reported captured are 200 shells,
| six ammunition wagons and much UNI
counted munition
The total Of the Russian dead left in
front of the Centre Army (Nodzu's) is
estimated at $500.
! General Kuropatkin's story left the
Russians still tenaciously holding the
north bank Of the Shakhe River, but
the general belief is that this is only
the desperate finale of one of the great
est military dramas of history, and that
the Russian army as a whole was re-
! firing toward Mukden, having suffered
at the most conservative estimate a
loss of over 10000
The weather conditions were even
worse than during the retreat from
Liaoyang. Streams were bank high
and fords were impossible. but it was
impossible to say how this would affect
the final situation.
Fragmentary reports Of the Japanese
casualties are coming in. General Oku
lost $500 men.
Estimates Of the total Japanese
losses were not possible, but they were
small in comparison with the frightful
losses Of the Russians.

SEYEREST ENGAGEMENT OF WAR

After an Advance Of His Entire Army o.
Over Two Hundred Thousand Men ths
Russian Commander is worsted - Hii
Troops Were Scattered and Democrat.
ized--Japs Take Thirty Cannon.
Toxic, Japan. - General Kuropatkin
has been decisively whipped and Sc
verely punished, according to all re
ports from the front, and his entire
army began retiring along its whole
line.
Though it was too early to fully meas
ure the results Of the tremendous
struggle which has been in progress
some days and still it is evident that
the Russian Commandments Chief was
caught with his forces scattered and
beaten before he could recover.
The latest kilograms from the field
report uninterrupted success for the
Japanese arms.
More troops are engaged on each
side than in any previous battle, and
the fighting at some points has sur
passed in desperation anything seen
since the war began The Japanese
commanders in making their reports
express admiration of Russian yalor.
The losses in men are not even
limited at, but they must be very
great.
Major-General Murui ID among the
Japanese wounded and one Japanese
colonel is known to have been killed.
General Oku has captured twenty
FIVE Russian guns, making total of
about thirty Russian guns which have
fallen into the hands Of the Japan
csc.
A single section OF General Nodzu's
army took $50 prisoners.
The Japanese began desperate eff
fort to turn the Russian right, and If
itsshould succeed it would carry disas-
ter to the Russian arms.
The struggle around Bensihu is be-
ing followed with intense interest here.
The Russian force there is estimated
at five thousand, and its isolation or
loss would be severe blow to Kuro-
patzin.
London, Eng. The Standards cor
respondent in the field with General
Kuroki says:
"After two days heavy lighting, the
enemy's- resistance was broken, and
the Russians are now in full retreat"
Describing fight for a rock sur
mounted by a picturesque temple, the
correspondent says:
AT times it was hand-to-hand
conflict. The Russians fought hard
and desperately, but were no match
for the Japanese infantry. On the
other hand, we suffered at a disad-
vantage. Our guns were out of range,
and were reduced to silence for the
greater part Of the day. A timely
mist enabled the Japanese to draw
near, comparatively without damage,
to the hills of the Russian position,
and from which they were forced to
withdraw The retirement was very
leisurely, and the guns in particular
remained on the ground longer than
seemed safe
The Daily Nails Toxic correspond
emit asserts that the pursuit by the
Japanese is working great havoc to
the dispirited Russians, who left their
dead and wounded on the field. The
Russian forces are estimated at two
hundred thousand, with one thousand
guns, and the correspondent says that
the fighting was the most severe and
terrible of the whole war.
