JAP ADVANCE ARRESTED.
General Stoessel Sends Account o.
Battle at kinchou.

ST. Petersburg, May 23.-The gen
eral staff has received message from
General Stoessel giving his account OF
the fight north of kinchou Monday
last
Three Russian regiments We're at
tackled by two Japanese divisions.
with four batteries OF artillery. The
kussiaI.s lost loo in killed or wound
ed, including an officer killed and
Brigadier General Nadein slightly
wounded. The Japanese losses are
not known, but IL is believed they
were heavy. The enemy's advance on
kinchou was arrested. The general
staff ascertains that this attack on the
Russian troops was supposed to take
place simultaneously with land at
tack by japanese troops in Kerr bay,
which was unsuccessful owing to the
number OF Russian mines there. The
general staff expects to hear of another
stubborn tight at Kinchou. The land
ing OF Japanese force to flank Kin
chou will be exceedingly difficult, as
the waters of Talienwan bay are too
shallow to permit debarkation OF
troops.
The general staff says the whole re-
gion northwest of Fenghuancheng Is
clear of japanese and that reinforce
hents are daily arriving at Liaoyang.

MANY HINES LOCATED.
Russian Report Regarding Japanese
Naval Disaster.

st. Petersburg, May 23.-Details of
Rear Admiral Wittsoeft's mail dis
patch to Viceroy Alexieff, transmitted
by telegraph to High Admiral Grand
Duke Alexis, which were not made
public, establish the fact that mines
planted by the Russian torpedo boats
were responsible for the destruction
of the Hatsuse and the damage sus-
tanned by another battleship of the
Fuji type off Port Arthur. 1t is said
that no submarine boats were sent out
of Port Arthur The suppression of
the statement regarding the mines
was due to the fact that it explained
where they were located. A number
of unexploded mines lie in the same
vicinity and ii is not deemed wise to
describe their position. Each mine
contained seyenty-four pounds of gun
cotton.
The admiralty thinks it highly prob
able that it was a battleship of the
Full type which struck a mine, but
that she kept afioat and was eventually
lost. as a heavy gale was blowing. In
any event, it is said that at least two
months in dock will be required to
repair the damage done to the vessel
referred to.

Youthful Murderer's Plea Of SeIf-De-

Aitkin, Mimi, May 23.-In the dis
trict court George Coti was found
guilty of murder in the second degree
and was sentenced by Judge McClena-
han to state prison for life. Coti was
tried for numbering Christ Hanson, a
woodsman, north of McGregor in Jan
uary, and admitted striking Hanson,
but claimed self-defense. as he was a
great deal the smaller man. However,
the wounds on Hanson were mostly In
the back of the head. The evidence
was circumstantial but strong. Coti
is a French-Canadian, nineteen years
old, and had been in the county only
few months.

THEIR POSITIONS.

Mukden, May 23-The main body
OF the japanese forces, estimated al
$4,000 men, remains south of the Rus
sian troops, who are covering Lao
yang. They apparently have suspend
ed their advance.
This inaction causes surprise and
some satisfaction, as every days post
ponement of a decisive engagement
Is considered favorable for the Rus
slams, who are daily increasing their
forces and are enabled by the delay
to strengthen their positions. 1t is
supposed that the recent rains ham
pered the movement of the japanese
army and compelled temporary halt.
The Russians still hold the railroad
to Tchikau.

JAPS WANT PORT ARTHUR.
Preparations for Attack on Stronghold
Continue

Newchwang. May 23.-The officials
have not received any further infor-
nation regarding the fighting which
resulted in the retreat of the japanese
on Fenghuancheng, but there is good
authority for saying that the japanese
movements in the direction of Lao
yang and Haicheng were for the pur-
pose of causing the Russians in this
vicinity to move northward, thus Civ
ing the Japanese an opportunity to
complete their preparations to capture
Port Arthur.
When the japanese begin a deter
mined movement in this vicinity ii
will be from Fenghuancheng and New
chwang They figure that 1t does not
matter what may be the fate OF the
Yalu army If they can continue to
control the sea and Port Arthur. The
Japanese are still fortifying the hill on
the neck of land between Talienwan
and Kinchou bays. Many rapid fire
guns protected by sand bags have been
mounted there with the object of re-
sisting sortie of the beleaguered gar
rison.

RUSSIANS DRIVEN BACK.
Japanese Troops Said to Have Cap
tured kaichou.

Toxic. May 23.-Although it has not
been officially reported it is said on
good authority that the Japanese
forces have captured kaichou, driving
the Russians back to Tashichia, in the
direction of Newchwang, and prevent
ing the advance of the Russian troops
at Newchwang in the direction of Kai-
chou.
The bombardment by the japanese
of the vicinity OF Kaichou recently
was probably in preparation for the
landing of forces in the northwest
corner of the Liaotung peninsula for
the purpose of capturing Newchwang
and cooperating with the other armies
in the march on Liaoyang.
Probably a small japanese force has
been landed at Kinchou bay.

The court in the course of a general lecture concerning the evils of the career upon which Spitz seemed to have started, took oc- casion to criticize his six shooter. He had bought it of a Mexican for two dollars and the justice called Spitz' attention to the fact that the cylinder was badly worn and when moved had 10 regular place for stopping. hence any man who attempted to shoot tke gun might not have the cartridge squarely in front of the barrel with the result that an explosion would follow that would be very apt to cost the shooter his life. Then for fear that Spitz did not fully understand the use of fire arms the court confiscated the weapon.
