RETURN OF SECRETARY MOODY.
Inspected the Guantanamo and Other
Naval Stations

Secretary Moody and his confidential
clerk, Mr.. Gauss, returned to this city last
evening by rail from New Orleans, after an
absence of seventeen days, during which
time they made a cruise on the U. S. S.
Dolphin to inspect the naval stations at
Guantanamo, Key West Pensacola and
New Orleans, and also visited Havana. The
other members of the party from Washing
ton, except Representative Hemenway, who
went from New Orleans to Evansville, and
Representative Myers, who remained at
New Orleans, are returning to this city on
the Dolphin. They are Senators Hale, PEN
rose and Bacon and Representative Dalze.l
They will reach here in day or two.
Secretary Moody was at his desk at the
Navy Department today as usual. He made
a careful survey of conditions at Guantana-
mo, where much work is to be done in the
upbuilding of the naval station. He went
over the ground thoroughly, making obsel-
vations that will be of value to him in de-
ternining the many details to be considered
in that connection. This was his first visit
to Gu2ntan 2nIo since the government ac-
quired property for naval station. Among
the matters to be decided is the location f
the various buildings, marine barracks, Of
fcers' quarters and the location of docks.
1t Is said that some of the small islands in
the harbor are practically natural docks,
needing only the construction of sea walls
around them to make them ready for use.

Despite No Pitched Battle Was Fought,

from authentic Russian sources that the
Japanese army from the Yalu today sus-
tanned a severe defeat and was driven back

A dispatch from Niuchwang received last

the above, which was said to have ema-
mated from a reliable source there.
Japs Retreated With Rapidity.
NIUCHWANG. May 20 a.m.-The re-
ports of the japanese retreat to Feng-
Wang-Cheng are officially confirmed.
The Japanese. numbering 10000 men,
came upon 81 600 Russians in a strong po-
sition on Monday. sixty miles west of Feng-
ang-Cheng 1t being unwise TO SIX

der and with great rapidity.
An unofficial Russian authority says
pitched battle was not fought, but rumor
saws there was considerable loss on both
sides, during the clashes, with the Cossacks
harassing the fianks of the Japanese
Pursuit Was Checked.
This division presumably was executing a
reconnaissance. The pursuit was checked
when the main body of the Japanese was
rejoined.
This news apparently accounts for the
withdrawal to an unknown destination OF
warships and transports from Tower Hill,
ten miles north of Kai-Chou. Liao-TunS
peninsula and of renewed defensive activ-
ity at Niuchwang.
No news has been received here from Port
Arthur.
Russians Jubiiant.
The Russians are jubilant over their re-
ported victory near Feng- -Wang-Cheng, and
consider that it being Emperor Nicholas
birthday the victory is good medicine
for the Japanese.
The latest authoritative reports show
that there are two divisions the Yalu
river. One is moving on Hli-Cheng and the
other going toward Iiao-Yang. 1t is
believed the Russians concentrated their
forces and struck the enemy south of Lao
Yang, driving the Japanese back. The re-
ports say that the Japanese loss was
heavy.
Siege Guns Mounted.
1t is understood that the siege guns re-
to the Hai-Cheng forts were mounted there
today. A field battery was also placed in
position.
The Russians claim that they Will place
5000 men in Niuchwang in few days. but
this is believed to be an exaggeration. The
Japanese control the railroad south of Wa
FangTien and the Russian force between
there and Niuchwang is small, consisting
of few scouts.
Almost all the railroad wires are down,
but the Russian military telegraph line be-
tween Niuchwang and Port Arthur is work.
