advance posts on the right bank Of the
Kantakhe river, the enemy occupying
the heights on the left bank and for
tifying themselves thereon.
Our battery on the river bridge
opened fire at the enemy's patrols,
which appeared in Kantakhe village.
Toward noon a fusi]lade occurred be
tween a detachment Of the enemy and
cur company which observed the
enemy retiring. Our losses were six
wounded.
Toward the evening of July sth the
enemy's force, consisting of four di-
visions and a brigade. could be made
out in front of Kai Chou, extending
along the seashore. At dawn July 9Th
the enemy resumed the offensive upon
the rear guard OF our detachment
which retired about $50 in the morn
ing from Kai Chou to two and half
miles northward toward the Shuan.
lunsa pass.
AT 10 o'clock, under.heavy pressure
our rear guard retired on our position
at Makhunts, Guiga and Yaclintas.
three miles north of the Shuanlunsa
pass. The rear guard held this posi-!
tion under heavy fire until ? o'clock
in the afternoon. when. in ac-
cordance with instructions, it retired
slowly and in perfect order on the
third position at Tchjoutzzi and land
"a just as our main body was concen-
trating at Datchapu and on the posi-
tion at Makhunts, at Makunts Guiga.
THE enemy kept up very heavy
cannonade for two hours unin-errupt-
edly, but our battery carried on the
struggle successfully, firing along the
Shuanlunsa pass. 1t finally fell back,
with hardly any casualties.
"On our right flank our horse bat
terry shelled the Japanese battery. At
the same time the enemy's cavalry ad-
vanced slowly along the short road to
Yinkow.
Our losses are not known. but, ac-
cording to the commander Of our

SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR.
Japanese Advancing Their Entreneh.
ments to Command City.

Che Foo, July 10, p. ma fair
wind brought fleet OF junks from
Port Arthur to-day, carrying both
Chinese and Europeans. Reports
which they bring of conditions at Port
Arthur are contradictory but they all
say that Japanese division from the
northward is entrenching seven miles
from the marine camp, while another
division from the eastward is fighting
continuously and with the aid of the
feet is endeavoring to gain a position
commanding the town and the naval
basis.
A Russian says that the Japanese
occupied the summit of Takushan
mountain, which is about three miles
from Port Arthur, on the night of July
6, with mounted battery of artillery.
On July Z, the Russian cruiser Novik
and four gunboats went out under pro-
lection of the guns on Golden hill and
shelled a Japanese battery, which was
surrounded and captured finally by the
Russian infantry.
The fighting to the eastward of Port
Arthur has been very heavy since July
A. The Japanese ships along the shore
are shelling the Russian position in
the hills. The smoke from the artil-
lery on the hills around Port Arthur
is seen almost continuously.
On the nights of July I'd. 3rd and 4th
the Japanese fleet bombarded the roads
from the south of the town. The forts
were not damaged. No further night
attacks have been made since July 4th
A Chinese mechanic from the Port
Arthur dry docks says that two large
three-funnel ships have been missing
from the Russian fleet since the fight
off Port Arthur on June 23rd. The bat
tleship Sevastopol Is still undergoing
repairs and four torpedo boat Destroy
ers are in dry docks.
The Russians. on the other hand, say
that their feet is intact, and, as mat
ter of fact, the Japanese have been the
losers in the fights off Port Arthur. The
Russians assert that the Japanese
have lost no less than ten torpedo boats
in their attempts to reach the Russian
guardship, which was protected by the
stone-laden ships sunk by the Japanese
in their effort to block the entrance of
Port Arthur. The guardship is an
chored behind the wrecked vessels.
Some of the torpedo boat attacks OF
the Japanese have been almost fanau-
cal. Frequently the Japanese made at
tacks where success was impossible
and then the torpedo boats have been
sunk.

Governor Peabody recently named
two members of the travelling library
board. One was Mrs. A. NJ. Welles,
who was re-appointed. The other was
Mrs. Harry E. Churchill, who is to
take the place of Mrs. Mary Bradford.
The governor also gave the women
room in the state house.
Reports are being received in the
state engineers Office concerning the
condition of the South Platte and the
Arkansas rivers. 1t is said that both
are high for the season of the year
and that there seems to be no danger
of scarcity of water. The irrigation
conditions are reported better than
they were last year.

try into Denver from long distances,

whose attention has been called to sew
eral recent fragrant cases of extreme
cruelty.
The annual report of the federal
land office at Denver has been turned
over to the federal district attorney
for approval. The report compares
very closely with those of previous
years. The total amount of business
done was $9s,351 for the year closing
June 30th. There were l29 desert
land entries, timber and stone ia,
and 254 mineral applications.
Every day during the open season
there are filed in the Office of the state
engineer water rights and ditch
plats that show that large
amount of ditch building is in
progress throughout the state. Many
of these are too small in themselves
to deserve mention, but in the aggre-
gate they go to show the speed with
which lands of the state are being
brought under irrigation and the pro-
ductiye area of the state in an agri-
cultural way is being increased.
A schedule is being arranged by the
secretary of state, of the offices of
which incumbents will be elected at
the coming fall election. Besides the
offices to be filed there will be two
constitutional amendments voted on.
There will be no election for district
Judges. There will be an election OF
state and county officers. The first
constitutional amendment is to Sec
ti0ns five to eight of article six, provid-
ing for the consolidation of the State
Supreme Court and the Court of Ap-
peals and the bill providing for the
exemption from taxation of all personal
property to the value of 5000.
Charles w. Prince has been appoint
ed commissioner of Alchuleta county
by Governor Peabody. He is to fill
the vacancy in the county board
caused by the discovery that e. NJ.
Briggs, who was elected to the Office,
was not resident of the county and
SO could not serve. Briggs lives in
Edith, a town supposed to be on the
county line, which is also the line be-
tween the state of Colorado and the
territory of New Mexico. A recent
resurvey Of the boundry made by the
United States engineers showed the
residence of Briggs to be in New Mexi-
co and he was therefore incompetent

leta county. Colorado. Price, the new
