Japanese Steadily Pushing To-
ward Port Arthur.
TIE RUSSIANS CLAIM A VICTORY

Four Bridges Destroyed to Block the
Advance Of Kuropatkin's Troops In
the Rear-sudden Shifting Of Kuro-
ki's Forces Reported.
Newchwang, June 4-Severe fighting
undoubtedly is going on some distance
south Of Kaiping and about halfway
between this point and Port Arthur
Russian wounded have been sent north
toward Liaoyang. The bulk Of the
fighting is between Lotoling and Wa
fangau, on the westerly side of the
Hung mountains and in the valley
through which runs the railroad north
from Port Arthur.
There have been engagements every
day since last Saturday between the
army of General Samsonoff and the
Japanese brigade under the general di-
rection Of Baron Kumamoto
1t is said the enemy has destroyed
four bridges south Of Tower hill, in
cluding the big bridge across the Hung
river, and that their plan Of campaign
is 10 prevent any considerable body Of
General Kuropatkin's troops from
marching south Of Kaiping TO harass
the Japanese now Investing Port At
thur.
The returning Russians say that they
defeated the Japanese in mountain en-.
gagements on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, but while there may have been
severe loss Il is certain that the enemy
could not have destroyed the bridges
south and seized the mountain passes
unless the Russians were driven north
toward Ksiping.
Chinese in here from Tower hill re.
port that the Japanese divisions are
only fifteen miles south Of Kaiping
and that several regiments Of the enc
my are marching through the valley
Of the PHI river TO cut on the Russians

sisted the British demand, and it was
not until 1873 that they finally agreed
To strike the English colors in homs
waters. The same honor was formally
Gssented to by France in 1904, although
it had long been exacted by Britain
Until modern times it was regarded
as high misdemeanor for merchant
vessel to pass one of his mai, Us
ships without dipping her ensign. and
the consequence was that shot across
her bows compelled her to heave to
while her captains name was taken,
the admiralty instituting a prosecution
against him for negligence. The trad
ing ship dips her ensign and waits for
the man-of-war's dip in return. Then
she dips again, and after that, in strict
etiquette, she ought to dip third time.
but this is seldom done now. The
maritime supremacy of Britain is still
enforced by the refusal of any British
war vessel TO dip its flag 10 any foreign
ship until the latter has first lowered
its colors, and this acknowledgement
of precedence is required not only in
LONE waters but in all seas
But naval salutes are now essential
matters of etiquette. says the London
STANDARD. and are exchanged under an
elaborate code arranged between for

The number OF guns to be fired under
all conceivable circumstances is min
utely stipulated Second to the salute
of twenty-one guns in honor OF royal
personages and national flags are the
nineteen rounds given to ambassadors.
colonial governors, foreign possessions
and fortresses receive seventeen guns,
and ENJOYS extraordinary and minis
tiers plenipotentiary fifteen. Two guns
less are fired for lieutenant governors
charges d'affaires are treated to eleven,
consuls-general to nine and mere
consul to seven. The salute for adj
mirals of the feet is seventeen guns,
and for admirals simpliciter fifteen.
Eice-admirals are greeted with thirteen
and rear-admirals with two less. while
nine guns are fired for commodore
captains and lower officers being class
ed as not worth the burning of pow

Had Senior Duque desired to go down
in history as the first President OF the

been none to say him nay. In fact
many think he is the man intended by
destiny and marked out by the fitness

In the natural course of human
events he may look forward to many
years in which to seek the qualification
of his political ambition. He may be
said to have a "cinch' on the presi-
dencv at any time he wants to assume

that office. When the newly-launched

Nothing that has been said should be
construed as in any way rejecting
npon the character of Senior Duque-
In fact, morally as well as intellectual
ly he rises head and shoulders above
The average Latin-American politician.
That he looks out for Senior Duque first
srd foremost is not due 10 any moral
sbliquity. but to his nationality. He
could not be a Spanish-American did

And, if the truth must be confessed, he

The title. King of Panama. which
Senior Duque has so long enjoyed. was
bestowed on him, not because of his
political influence which was Of later
growth, but on account of his business
and social prestige.
