IN DEFENSE OF PORT ARTHUR.
Russian Fleet Rendering Effective Aid
to Garrison.

st. Petersburg, July 1.-THE admit
rally believes that Rear Admiral Wit
hoft's squadron is rendering effective
aid In the defense OF Port Arthur by
impeding taking of batteries near the
eastern approaches and fortress by
going out and Smelling the Japanese
works under construction for this pur-
pose. The expedition of Saturday Is
believed to have been of this nature.
The bringing up of siege guns to an
effective range can thus be materially
retarded. This probably is the reason
the squadron has not yet left Port Ar
thur and it is not likely to do so un-
less the fall of the fortress becomes
inevitable.
The Admiralty considers that the
naval situation has greatly improved
and sees evidence of the Japanese
fleets showing signs OF exhaustion.
The officials here think that Admiral
Togo, with the knowledge that he Will
have to fight without the cooperation
OF the army in storming Port Arthur,
has become extremely cautious about
risking his ships and that at present
he will only undertake operations OF
secondary Importance, like the pur-
suit of the Nladiyostok squadron and
cooperation with the land forces at
NeWchWang

FOREST FIRES IN WISCONSIN.
Considerable Damage Likely Unless
Rain Falls Soon.

Ashland, Wis, July l4.-There is
great danger of serious forest fires on
the south shore of Lake Superior. The
great amount of smoke hanging over
Chequamegon bay is caused by large
forest fire between Bayfield, and Port
Wing.
There has been a large number of
forest fires this year for so early in
the season. Most of them have feen
in Bayfield, county and many Of them
have caused much damage. AS yet
the fire between Bayfield, and Port
Wing has caused no damage to home
Steaders as far as can be ascertained.
but if rain does not come soon there
is liable to be considerable damage.
There is more damage from forest
fires than there was when the forests
were uncut, the widespread area OF
dry slashings being.a constant menace.
A long spell of dry weather would re-
suit in the worst forest fires in the
history of the state.

BRYAN ISSUES STATEMENT
WILL VOTE FOR PARKER AND DA.
Wis, BUT THEIR SUCCESS
WILL MEAN LITTLE.

Lincoln, Neb., July 14.-W. j. Bry
an has given out a statement in which
he says:
81 shall vote for Parker and Davis
the nominees of the Democratic ma
tional convention"
Mr. Bryan's reasons in part are as
follows.
Because the Democratic ticket
stands for opposition to Imperialism
while the Republican ticket Stands loI
an imperialistic policy.
"Mr. Roosevelt is injecting the race
issue into American politics.
"Mr. Roosevelt stands for the spirit
OF war and the Democratic ticket
stands for peace.
The Democratic platform declares
In favor OF the reduction of the stand
ing army"
Mr.. Bryan also says: II feel justi-
fed In supporting the ticket, but |
shall not misrepresent the situation
or appeal for votes for the ticket upon
false grounds. A Democratic victory
will mean very little. If any, progress
on economic questions SO long as the
party is under the control OF the Wall
street element. On the money ques-
tion Mr.. Parker is as thoroughly com
mitted to the sides of the financiers
a. Mr.. Roosevelt"

ALExIEFF SENDS NEWS TO ST.
PETERSBURG, BUT lT LACKS
CONFIRMATION.
CAPITAL IN FEVER OF EXcITEEEST
REPORT rs PUBLISHED IN TIE
OFFICIAL MESSENGER AND
EAGERLY READ.

ST. Petersburg, July 14.-This city
was thrown into fever of excite
ment during the afternoon by the
news that the Japanese failed in an as
sault on the fortress OF Port Arthur
on Sunday night having been repulsed
with a loss said to reach 10000.
An official communication from the
Russian general staff says:
According to information derived
from Japanese sources and forwarded
through Admiral Alexieff the Japanese
attacked the Russian positions at Port
Arthur during the night of July 10.
They were repulsed with enormous
loss. 1t is difficult to calculate even
approximately the number of Japan
ese casualties, which amounted, 1t Is
said, to the immense figure of 10000"
The original report reached st. Pc
tersburg at night in the form OF
newspaper dispatch from Mukden and
was received with incredulity, but at
about noon, when Viceroy Alexieff Of
ficially telegraphed the news to the
general staff, 1t created tremendous
impression. 1t was Immediately trans
mitted to the Official Messenger and
a few minutes afterwards the news
boys were racing through the streets,
electrifying the crowds with the It'd
ings. The boys were fairly mobbed
by people eager to buy the extras.
Japanese Position Desperate.
LII the report of the loss of 10000
Japanese is confirmed General Nodzu's
&c, To-. tie Hnrn
eral Stoessel will not fail to take adj
vantage OF such reverse and follow
1t up.
The members of the general staff
do not offer explanations of what Ad
miral Alexietf means by japanese
sources" but they declare that the
viceroy would not have officially re-
ported such important news unless ii
had reached him from sources entire
ly worthy of credence. AT the same
time they say the report should be
accepted with reserve, pending the
receipt of more definite advices. In
support of the report, however, they
point out that the date comedies with
the second attempt of Admiral Togo's
torpedo boat destroyers to creep into
the harbor. 1t is true that Togo does
not mention land attack, but this is
not his province.
The loss OF $4,000 of the besiegers
in an attack against Notifications with
guns in position and the approaches
sown with mines, is considered quite |
within the range of possibility, ii the |
Japanese, as on other occasions, storm
ed the Notifications with their accus |
toned recklessness and especially ii |
the mines We're exploded under masses
OF men.
The genral staff has information |
that the besiegers had occupied Taku |
shan hill, three miles northwest OF |
the harbor, and that the Japanese were |
unable to hold the position.

REPORTS ARE CONFLICTING
NEWS OF JAPANESE REpuLsE AT
PORT ARTHUR COMES FROM
SEVERAL SOURCES.

London. July 14.-Dispatches from
Shanghai and st. Petersburg say the
Japs met with disastrous repulse at
Port Arthur Sunday night.
The st. Petersburg dispatch places
the Japanese loss at 10000 and that
from Shanghai states that the Japan
ese are reported from Russian sources
to have lost $4,000.
A later dispatch places the Japanese
losses at $500. which is probably much
nearer the correct estimate il the dis
Rster really occurred.
The reports state that the Japanese
land forces attacked the west fort. The
Russians exploded land mines, which
created such havoc that the Japanese
were compelled to retire.

WAS A BLOODY AFFAIR.
Correspondents Report of the Battle
of Molten Pass.

OF MOtteH FdSS.
AT the Front With General Kuroki's S
Forces, July A, via Seoul, Korea, July
1.-THE brief and disastrous attempt
of the Russians 10 overwhelm the
small Japanese force which guarded
the entrance to the Molten pass was
bloody affair. The Japanese troops
again exhibited their resourcefulness
and courage and the Russians again
threw away many lives. The losses
cannot be ascertained until the bat
tlefield has been searched. The Jap
anes.. are still driving the enemy up
the valley. The correspondent of the
Associated Press saw enough dead TO
justify the estimate that the Russians
had 200 men killed and wounded and
that the Japanese casualties probably
will amount to sixty. The Russians
left thirty dead in front of the trench
es where the attack began. At this
point they had an equal number OF
men severely wounded and the Japan
ese took several prisoners and cap
tured 100 rifles.
