DRIVEN ACROSS The STREAM
RUSSIANS LOSE ONLY POSITION
HELD BY THEM SOUTH OF
Shake RIVER.

General Kuroki's Headquarters in
the Field, via Fusan, Oct. 29.-The
Japanese gave a stirring exhibition of
sharp and determined fighting Thurs
day. They drove the Russians from a
high hill ten miles east of the railroad
in General Kuroki's front, which is
important strategically as post of
observation, and was the only point
south of the Shakhe river which the
Russians held. About a regiment of
Russians were entrenched there, with
five machine guns.
The Japanese rushed the Russian
trenches, shot many Russians as they
were running down the hillside and
captured two machine guns. The
Japanese had twenty men killed and
eighty wounded. The Russians left
thirty dead on the field. There was
hand-to-hand fighting when the trench
es were taken. The Russians retired
across the river. When the japanese
flag was raised over tower surmount-
ing the hill the Russian batteries
showered shrapnel on it for an hour
but without result

RElTERATEs HIS STATEMENT.
Rojestvensty Positive Of Presence Of
Torpedo Boats,

London, Oct. 29.-The Daily Chron-
icle publishes an interview had with
Admiral Rojestvensky at Vigo which
gives few interesting statements not
yet published. The admiral is quoted
as saying that when the vessels of the
Russian squadron found themselves
surrounded by the fishing feet the
warships had to stop their engines
continually SO as not to get their
screws entangled in the nets. The
warships frequently gave way to the
trawlers. Suddenly the cruiser Au-
rora saw ahead two torpedo boats COM
ing towards the squadron at full speed.
She turned her seachlight' on them
and then noticed two floating mines
close to her. An order to fire on the
torpedo boats was Immediately given,
with the result that one of them was
sunk and the other escaped and was
lost sight of among the trawlers.
The admiral added there were two
men injured on his flagship. One, a
priest, had 4 hand shot off. Six shots
fred during the incident hit the Rus
sian vessels. The Aurora was hit and
has not yet been repaired.

flames soon reached the lighters Bend,
Iowa and another known as No. FOG,
all laden with cotton, and then jumped
to pier 6. at the foot of Forty-sixth
street, and set fire to the Italian steam
er Citta di Palermo, which was dam
aged to the extent of $4,000. She is

sioner Doyle says the loss will not ex-
coed 100000.

NO TORPEDO BOATS THERE.
Fishermen Deny Report of Admiral
Roiestveneky,

London, Oct. 29.-1n reply to an in
Quiry regarding the alleged presence
of torpedo boats among the Hall fish
ing fleet DR.. Jackson, solicitor of the
owners of the feet, wires as follows:
Il have personally interviewed the
crews of the Moulmsin, Mino and Gull
and the boatswain of the Crane and
the other men from the Crane. They
unanimously and emphatically deny
Admiral Rojestvensky's suggestion
concerning vessels like torpedo boats
moving rapidly among the fishing
feet, which they characterize as a
fabrication. Trawlers could not be
mistaken for war vessels nor our fish
ermen for Japanese.
"The steam trawler Kenneth has
sent in a report that the last Russian
vessel fired at her at a. M, the shot
passing between her funnel and fore
mast. The Moulmein and the Mino
saw the Russians at a. m. and 6
g. m. respectively"

have helped in the heroic defense of
the fortress against the advance of a

REACHED.

London, Oct. 29.-The Associated
Press is authorized to state that sat
isfactory settlement of the Anglo.
Russian dispute has been reached.
Several details and formalities remain
to be arranged, but the proposal to re.

the Russian squadron concerned in the
North sea incident to remain at Vigo
until the inquiry is completed. This
no doubt will be obtained. The re-
mainder Of the Russian squadron is
expected to proceed to it's destination.

UNTIL AFFAIR IS SETTLED
VICE ADMIRAL ROJESTVENSkY
ORDERED TO REMAIN At
SPANISH PORT.

London, Oct. 29.-Orders have been
issued and acknowledged by Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky that the Russian
squadron remain at Vigo until the
conclusion of the present Russo British
negotiations This eliminates what
was regarded here as one of the most
dangerous features of the situation,
namely, the possibility of a premature
clash between the British and Russian
squadrons.
The cabinet during the day consid.
cred the Russian proposition to submit
the question of individual responsibility
to commission. The details Of the
constitution of this commission have
not yet been quite determined upon,
but Russia has expressed her willing
ness to detach the commander of the
second Pacific squadron and such other
individual officers as may be found to
have been directly concerned in the
firing for examination by the commits
sion. By agreeing to abide by the
verdict of this commission Russia
would undertake to carry. out SEN
fences which it may impose and there
by 1t is believed the separate guaran-
tee of punishment, which is so dis.
tasteful to Russia, may be obviated.
Ambassador Benckendorff, after see.
ing Lord Lansdowne, was very hopeful
of satisfactory issue.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 29.-Orders have
been telegraphed to Vice Admiral Ro-
jestvensky to detain at Vigo all the
warships which took part in the North
sea incident.

w. N. Ferris, the Democratic candi-
date for governor, and his party were
guests of the hotel. The porter of the
hotel found in waste basket which
he was about to empty into the fur
mace an alleged dynamite bomb about
four inches long and one inch in diam
eter, containing dynamite and guncot-
ton. 1t is said that the hotel pro-
prietor has enemies in the town who,
some believe, intended to destroy the
building out of spite. It seems hardly
possible that crank could have placed
the bomb in the hotel to injure Candi-
date Ferris.
