COUP FOR PEACE.
Powers May Be Called Upon to End
War.

st. Pete rsburg, Aug. 12.-Discounting
the fall of Port Arthur and the disas-
trous defeat of Gen. kuropatkin at the
hands of the combined Japanese armies,
some diplomats ara already specializing
upon the situation in which the COM
batants would be left and the question
as to whether it is possible that way
would be opened for peace.
The almost unanimous opinion is that
with her present record of victories,
combined with the financial difficulty
of continuing the war indemnity. Jap
an would welcome peace and the al
most equally unanimous verdict is that
Russia would adopt a contrary course.
Even should every Russian soldier be
driven out of Manchuria, the diplomats
believe that Russia could not afford
20 yield. but would be compelled to
doggedly continue the war collect an
other army in Siberia and take the Of
fensive next year. Several keen diplo-
mats. however. are of opinion that Jap
an by a clever coup, in the event of
Kuropatkin being routed, might per-
hapS force the powers to intervene in
way that Russia could not resist.
One diplomat, representing European
power at the court of Emperor NichO-
las, said:
"Sncretary Hays note opening Il way
for the guarantee of the administrative
entity of China. to which all the pow
els subscribed in principle. may after
all become the means of bringing about
peace. If Japan, pushing the Russian
military forces out of Manchuria and
obtaiuipc IIpdiSp lltcd poSSaSSion should
th"n formally delinQuish the province
to China. its real owner. and call upon
the powers, under their guarantee to
protect the entity of the Celestial en-
rire. I do not think the powers could
escape responsibility.
1T might be objected that the reply
of the powers to Secretary Hays cir
cular note specifically exempted Man.
| chlria as Il sphere of military OPERA
| ions. but if Russia is no longer in Man.
chlIria and japan should rclinquish the
province an entirely different situation
would be created.
"There would. Of course. be difficult
| tics growing ont of the predictions of
! the various powers. Nevertheless all the
nowcrS 7 believe are in accord in Il
common desire to sec peace restored
| and many are of the opinion that the

ing the Russians ut Of Manchuria. rests

RUSSIAN FLEET SCATTERED.
Defeated in Battle by Japs Off Port
Arthur.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE following
cablegram was received at the state
department. Friday. from United States
Minister Griscom. dated Toxic. Aug. L.:
According 20 latest reports received
at headquarters, the Japanese fleet at

Port Arthur to the south of Round
island, off Talien bay. The Russian
fleet finally defeated, fled during the
night. The cruisers Askold, Novik and
one other and ONE destroyer entered
Kiauchou bay onl the night of the 18th;
one destroyer fed to Che Foo; five bat
tleships, one cruiser, probably the Di-
ana, Il hospital ship, several destroycrs
returned to Port Arthur between dawn
and midday, 18th. Apparently no dam
age to japanese fleet.
A cablegram also has been received
from Mr.. Fowler, American consul gen.
cral at Che Foo, stating that two Jap

Dor, attacked the Russian torpedo boat
which had arrived there several days
ago and dismantlcd, captured her ana

ADVANCE OF THE JAPS
Has No Very Attractive Features to
People at Toxic.

General kuroki's Headquarters in the
Field, near Towan, Aug. 1.-The center
of the division of the Japanese brigade
which worked to Il position practically
on the Russian rear i'll yesterdays bat
tie marched from the northeast, took
the village of TienSutin on the plain,
and a gun position there, but it met
most stubborn resistance on hill north
of the pass where the Russians were
entrcnched and where they made a sue
cessful stand with small force. The
fight at Yushu pass also began at day
light. A detachment from the Japanese
division marched hither through Ham
lin. At O'Clock, a general attack was
made on the Russian right. The Rus
sian lost many and they raised three
| Red Cross flags. Under their
cover they carried away their wounded,
| the Jaapnese ceasing their fire in the
meantime. The Russians were driven
| from the first lines of their defences
and pursued to the second line.
The fighting was renewed. this morn
ing, (Aug. ID, and the Japanese carried
the positions. The artillery battle was
more evenly matched and Il more i'm
pressive spectacle than the one pre-
ceding the crossing of the Yalu.
The two armies exchanged fire from
the hill tops across the valley for u
hours with the exception of two
hours cessation at midday. 1t was i'm
| possible to see the results of the fire.
| Neither side succeeded in silencing any
of the batteries of the other. 1t APP
peared to be "A draw game. The Rus
slams used about 80 guns. Their prin-
cipal position was on the highest hill
southwest of ToWan facing the road
from Molten Pass. For three hours in
the morning the Japanese shells We're
bursting about the hillside constantly
and puffs of white shrapnel smoke Were
hanging there in clouds with an Occa-
sional cloud of dust thrown up when u
shell ctruck the earth. Another Rus
sian battery was on the slope of a hill
one mile north of Towan. Another was
on law hill directly south of the viii
Ilage covering the approaches to the viii
lage across the fields from the south
and east. The above batteries were the
targets of a constant bombardment.
When the last mentioned was visited
Iafterward more than 80 shell-torn holes
were discovered in the ground within Il
radius of 100 yards directly behind the
guns. Three dead horses, killed when
also found.
Until the attacking infantry appeared
in the fields at o'clock, in the evening,
the country seemed deserted. All the
| Russians were under cover and the
lhpanese were concealed in the foot
hills.
The advance over the plain was
largely concealed by fields of high corn.
A Japanese regiment which entered
Towan had its flag carried ahead by
riders The strongest Russian trenches
were on the hillsides without cover for
the attackers, but the first of these
trenches We're carried by 4 stubborn,
small losses.

PORT ARTHUR SQUADRON.
Everything Else Seems to Be Forgot :
ten at St. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 12.-2.3o L. NJ
everything else from military stand
point seems to be forgotten in the gem
eral anxiety concerning the fate of the
Port Arthur squadron. The future plans
OF the admiralty hang upon the pre-
ScrVatiOn of the bulk of IN" squadron
and it is not too much to say that the
present is regarded as being the most
critical moment of the war.
The admiralty till noon declared that
it was without official advices as to the
Whereabouts of the squadron ana
could not confirm the report that the
protected cruiser NOVik ana another
Russian warship Chc battleship Care
vitch had put into Tsingchou Cat the
entrance of Kiao chou Bay. the Ger
man concession on the Shanung pcnln-
sula.
Nevertheless, private dispatches seem
to show that the squadron may have
been communicating with Russia after
passing the Shantung promotory and
hope is high that the squadron success
cessfully broke through the japanese
ships and is now stoaminG for Nladi-
Nostok. The departure of the squadron
IN the face of the superior japanese
fleet is commended by all classes.

|Capt. Shastakovsky is reported killed
Seven swan ashore, landing near the
\ American consulate. Some were picked
UP by sampans and three, including a
lieutenant, were rescued by lightship.
The Japanese claim that they sent in
a gig to the Ryeshitelni, under flag of
truce. lieutenant and interpreter who
made a demand that the Russians
come outside and fight. The Russian
captain replied that his ship had been
disarmed, her engines disabled and that
the whole matter was in the hands of
| the Chinese. The Japanese were asked
| to investigate the disarmament. The
Japanese interpreter claims that he
overheard the Russian captain give a
hurried order in low tone, the words
not being distinguishable to the in
terpreter. Immediately following the
captain seized the Japanese lieutenant
and jumped overheard with him.
! Meanwhile the Japanese destroyers
had their searchlights turned on the
Russian ships. From the deck of the
flagship observers could see this act
which was followed by the shooting Of
rifles and sabre strokes and Russians
| jumping overheard.
when an explosion followed. The eX-
plosion blew away the main bridge, but
did no damage to the hull. The Rus
slams by this time were mostly all
overheard. The Japanese at once
hoisted their flag. Presently a search
light from the Chinese cruiser Haichi
disclosed a Chinese cutter alongside
the Asassio. 1t remained here only a
81, no
| Kasumi. where it stopped an equal
| length of time. The cutter then re-
turned to the Haichi. The inaction of
the Chinese fleet is unexplained so far.
| 1t is believed serious international COM
pications will result from the incident.
There are mcOntirmed stories in cir
culation that the Japanese fired at the
| Russians when they We're in the wa
ter and that they refused to rescue any
| Of them.
The disarmament of the Ryeshitelni
was completed. Thursday night, and her
| flag was hauled down, the crew singing
the national anthem. Tears cOursed
down the cheeks of Capt. Shastakovs-
Ky during the ceremony. 1t was evident
I'LL the preceding day that the necessity
| of abandoning his ship which had
served him so well greatly affected the
captain who won considerable renOWn
while at Port Arthur. 1t is thought
that when he discerned the purpose of
the Japanese he gave hurried order
to blow up the ship, intending to end
his life and that of his assailants with
the life of the ship. One of the reports
in circulation states that the captain,
| who was severely wounded, was res
! cued and Is now being secreted by his
friends. 1t is presumed that the cap
tain was injured by the Japanese sail
ors who were wrestling their lieutenant
from him. Later reports claim that Il
ma jority of the Russians reached shore
safely. 1t will be some time before
this is accurately determined.

SHARP FIGHTING.
Report of Admiral Togo Received at
Washington.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Japanese
legation, today, received the following
cablegram from the foreign office at
Toxic:
Admiral Togo reports that the Rus
sian squadron proceeded southwark
after the sortie froh Port Arthur on
Aug. 10. and were tucked by the COM
bined Japanese heetA 25 miles south-
east of Port Arthur. They were pur-
sued in an caster ~ direction. Sharp
fighting continued from I P. NJ. until
sunset.
The enemy apparently suffered heavy
damage and latet mis- fire slackencd
greatly, while hiy battle formation was
completely derariged. The Askold, the
Novik, the Czaravitch, the Palada and
some destroyer$ fed southwark and
the rest probably fled to Port Arthur
after an attack by our destroyers and
torpedo boat fotilla at night.
Our fleet suffered no serious damage
and the total casualties were about

JAP WARSHlP ENTERED
And Had a Fine Time With Russians
at Che Foo.

Che Foo. Aug. 12-2 +. M.-The Ger
man armoured cruiser Furst Bismarck
has just left for the port Of TsinGtau in
Kiaochou bay. Her preparations were
made in greatest haste.
Private interests seeking information
from Tsingtau can get no replies as the
wires are damned with official tele-
grams to and from Pekin.
The report that two Russian cruisers
and one torpedo boat destroyer had en-
tered the port of Tsingtau, Kiaochou
bay. last night. (Thursday), is con-
firned. The cruisers are the Askold
and the Diana, not the Novik, as pre-
viously reported. The German cruis-
ers Furst Bismarck and Thetis are pre-
pairing to leave Che Foo for that port.
Two Russian torpedo boats are said to
have been captured on the Chinese
coast.
1t is believed that the attempt Of the
Russian ships at Port Arthur to join
the vladivostok squadron has been
thwarted.
At $50 o'clock. Friday morning. the
Japanese torpedo boat destroyers Asa
shio and Kasumi. which entered the
harbor under cover of darkness, Thurs
day night, sent. a boarding party
against the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ryeshitelni, which had previ-
ously been disarmed by the Chinese.
After a fierce fight the boarding party
, hoisted the Japanese flag on the Rye
shitelni and lowed her out df the har-
. Dor in northerly direction. OF her
, crew of Il, Ii have been accounted for
