CONDITION IS SERIOUS

New York. Oct. ao.--An operation for appendicitis was performed on Japanesx Minister Kogoro Takahira in q hotel fn this city today.
 The case Is said to be serious one. and attaches of the Japanese legation at Washington have been summoned to his bedside.
 MT. Takahira arrived here from Washington Friday night and immedi : ately after being assigned to q room at the hotel complained of illness. and asked that doctor be sent for. They found the minister suffering much pain but remedies were administered which relieved his sufferings and allowed him to pass the remainder of the night com- fortabIy
 The Minister could retain no food. and this, with other symptoms. caused the physician to believe that the caxa was one of appendicitis. and today. when 1t was positively diagnosed as such case, an operation was decided upon
 The operation on Minister Takahfra was performed between 3 and { o'clock by Dr. William T. Bull. who issued the night.
 sThe patient was taken i'll Saturday morning with appendicitis. Symptoms of peritonitis rapidly supervened and an operation was decided upon hy Drs. Bull DeLafieid and Spardor. The ope- ration was donc early in the afternoon. since which time his condition has been satisfactory, although he cannot be pronounced out of danger for two or three days. At present the outlook is favorable.''
 Dr. Bull announced that bulletins would be issued every three hours for several days.

BIG BATTLE EXPECTED.
Buddhist Temple Engagement Indica-
 five OR General Fight.

St. Petersburg. Oct. 31.-(2:25 a. m.)- The military situation has not yet developed anything of great impor- tance, though the fight at the Bud dhist Temple hill on October 27 ap- pears to have been decidedly heavy engagement. It possibly indicates that final moves on both sides are now occurring. preparatory to anoth- CT long and serious battle.
 Vtceroy Alexieff is now on the way to St. Petersburg. The nature of his reception here Is the food for much speculation. Some of his friends will cling to the idea that he will be made chancellor of the empire with his res idence in the winter palace, where, it is stated. a suite of apartments has al- ready been prepared for him. On the other hand many declare that his po- litical career Is principally over and that his reception at St. Petersburg while officially certain. will mark the end of his political assendency.
 IT is rumored that the vicer0yalty of the Caucasus will be reviewed for his special benfit which would con stitute a complimentary and comfort able sort of exile.

FIGHTING IN TRENCHES.
Russian And Jap Outposts in Constant Conflict.

Russian And Jap Outp0sts In Constant
 Conflict.
 Mukden, Oct. 30.--rhe attack by the Japanese on the Buddhist temple hill on October 27 led to sharp fighting. The Japanese artillery played on the position from early in the morning. rendering the trenches untenable. shells and shrapnel sweeping every thing and demolishing all the shelters.
 Two machine guns with a battalion defending the hill were smashed and disabled, but the defenders carried off the remains of the guns when they were forced to retire. The Japanese infantry attack under cover of the bombardment was made in close order There was desperate hand to hand fighting in the trenches followed by an attack with bayonet. The Japanese finally gained the hill but were unable to hold it in the face of deadly Rus- sian artillery fire.
 There have been a number of skirm- ishes along the whole front. but no development of any serious import has yet appeared, though the armies are in the closest touch and a general en- gagement may be precipitated at any time. They are separated by small stream which is the only water supply in the neighborhood. By mutual con sent there Is no fring on me water car riers who visit the stream with buck cts.
 s@Rersls sposttions have already changed hands many times. It Is re- lated that at one village which had been taken and retaken by the same men on both sides. Captain Polkanoff on being driven out one day, left a note in the hut where he had passed the night, saying he would like to know the name of the Japanese officer who was in the habit of occupying the hut in his absence.
 A little later Captain Polkanoff re- took the village and, going through his old quarters, found the following note in perfect Russian:
 T am Captain Yamata. l would be greatly pleased to make Captain Polk anoffs acquaintance.
 Today was unusually quiet along the whole front. The Russians are in the habit of harrassing the Japanese in the trenches at night Last night Russian scouts threw a hand grenade into a Japanese trench near Sinchinpu, caus- ing great confusion. The Russian scouts also discovered that the Jap anese are moving many batteries to the front. though as yet all have been carefully marked.

 Hearing cries for help from his apartments, Friday night, the police searched the premises, finding Heuck dead and the negress hidden in the cellar. She stated that she was with a negro, named George Smith. that Heuck took them to his apartments where they drank much whiskey.
 Finally Heuck accused Smith of rob ping him and they fought. Heuck was killed and Smith escaped by climbing the back fence. She insisted that Smith scaled the fence just as the po- lice were entering the building. As she could not get over the fence or out of the building she hid in the cellar. The police afterward took her through the colored districts hunting in vain for Smith. but held her as a witness.
 Today she made a confession in her cell .that there was no third party in the murder, that she was preparing to leave and asked Heuck for money Then he accused her of robbing him and struck and kicked her. A table was turned over and the lamp extinguished when a desperate fight followed in the darkness. She says he attempted to throw her, out of the window at the same time calling for the police. In the meantime she had grabbed his knife from the table and in defending herself stabbed Heuek to death. She said she had met Heuck on the street earlier in the evening and went with him to his apartments. Heuck was badly cut up. The negress claims she acted in self defense.

RESIGNATION DENIED.
Commander of Baltic Fleet to Stay in
 Navy,


 Vigo, Spain, Oct S0.-Inquiries here fail to obtain the slightest confirma- ton of the report published in the United States that Vice Admiral Ro- iestvensky has requested Emperor Nicholas to relieve him of his com nand. The Russian commander gen sral here said to the correspondent .hat there was not any question of replacing the admiral and that he did not believe such a proposition had ever been raised,
 The admiral was interviewed later in The day and said that he could say nothing at present about the North Sea Inquiry at Vigo. Ten battleships and cruisers he said were now at Tangier. and the remainder of his fleet would stay at Vigo until further or Hers from St. Petersburg. In concIu- rIon the admiral asserted the absolute truth in his version Of the trawler in- rident. It is believed the interna- tional investigation here of the North Sea incident has begun.

WENT FOR cARRIAGE.
Minister Taknhfrn Intended Tmmediat
 Return t0 Capital.

Return to Capital.
 Washington. Oct s0---Mr Takarira. who was operated on today in New York for appsndicitia, went to New York for the pprpose of stegatiating for the purchase of a carriage for the use of the legation in this city
 His trip was intended to be very brief and as soon as he completed his pur- chase, the Minister intended to return to Washington The carriage which has been in use by the legation some time was destroyed in fire in livery stable in this city several weeks ago.
 In response to a telephone message from the Japanese Consul at New York this afternoon announcing the serious condition of the Minister, Mir Masanao Hanihara, the third Secretary of the Legation. went over to New York and will remain with the Minister.
 There were many expressions of re- gret in Washington over the news of Mir. Takarira's illness. It is sincerely hooped that his recovery may be has, tened. as MT. Takahira is anxious to participate in the courtesies which arc to be extended to Prince Fushimi. the adopted brother of the Emperor, whose arrival at San Francisco is scheduled for the second week in November. Mir Eki Hioki, the first Secretary of the Legation. has been designated to meet the Prince on his arrival at San Fran cisco, but 1t Is probable in view of the Ministers illness. that some one else may be designated to that duty, leav- ing MT. Hioki in charge of the lega- fiOu.
