St. Petersburg, Aug. 4.-Gen. SAX
haroff reports that twenty-nine officers
and over thousand men were killed,
or wounded, in the engagements of
July 80 and July 81, and that six guns
were abandoned.
Gen. Sakharoff's report gives details
of the fighting about Dapoutza as
transmitted by Gen. Zassalitch, who
says the operations were not decisive.
The battle, the report says, began un-
der favorable auspices for the Rus
slams, their artillery being superior,
but later the Japanese compelled the
evacuation of three crests of the noun
tain range. Gen. Zassalitch's report
continues:
AT 4:3O p. M, I received a report
that a regiment posted at the extreme
right flank had retired from it's posi-
ton in the mountains, having had it's
flank turned. Six disabled guns were
abandoned. Two officers were killed
and two wounded. and the commander
of a battery was injured.
Cause of Destruction.
Before this had happened the Jap
anese had placed two more batteries
on the left of those who had previously
taken up their position there, and with
their batteries on the extreme left they
began TO lombard our battery, as we'll
as to en1lade the right flank of sour
formation. This was the cause of the
destruction of our battery and the de-
structive loss Of troops on our right
flank. '+.--'t-'
THE battery was completely shat
tered, hut ait the beginning of the ac-
tton we succeeded in saving four guns,
while four others were left on the field
completely disabled.
OF these four, however, two had to
be spiked and abandoned owing to lack
of horses.
''Russians Assuming Offensive."
With the view of distracting the
attention of the Japanese from our
right flank, 1 directed Col. Lepovatz
al o'clock. when the heat had di-
minished, to order the soldiers to take
off their equipment and assume the Of

japanese. The fire of our guns, which
was murderous, and the Japanese

"AstOnished All DehoIders."
"Our attack in open order astonished
all beholders. Our men in this forma-

sides with fixed bayonets on the Japa-

PACKERS REFUSE
TO TALK PEACE
SAME STRIKE CONDITIONS.
ICE SUPPLY OF ABOUT 100 MAR
KETs HAS BEEN CUT OFF.

Packers Assert There Is Not the
COnferences-CIaim to BE Turning
Away Skilled Men and Are Snug.
Cling Immigrants in from Ellis
IsIand-Police Blamed by strikers
for Riots.
Chicago. Aug. Am a statement
given out tonight by the packers,
the report that negotiations are in
progress to bring about another con-
ference between the packers. and the
labor leaders, is declared to be en-
tirely unfounded.
The packers assert that there is
not the slightest possibility of further
conferences with the strike leaders.
According to this statement, the pro-
gress being made at the plants is sat
isfactory to all the packers; more men
are being employed daily; all con-
tracts and current orders are being
made at lower prices than before the
strike commenced.
In a table accompanying the state
ment it is shown that the total num-
ber of men at work tonight at all
points is more than $4,000. With this
number of men at work the packers
claim to have shipped a total Of s31
carloads of fresh meats from all
points yesterday.
Ice supply Cut on.
Beyond seeing that the order. pro-
hibiting the deliveries of ice to re-
tailers, who have been hauling their
meat from the stock yards themselves.
since the teamsters' struck. was car
ried out, the strikers to-day did very
little. Up to date the ice supply of
100 of these markets has been cut off.
Officials of the Butcher Workmen's
organization severely criticised to-day
the utterances of a police inspector
who is alleged to have said that aft
er this, rioters will be taken to the
morgue instead of the police station.
Police and LavIessness.
"The police" said Secretary Call, "are
| doing more to incite riot and lawless-
ness than are the strikers. Such bra
! vado is enough to drive some Of our
men, especially the hot heads, TO car
ry revolvers themselves. A can of
beer would do the rest. we have been
! trying to conduct a peaceful strike. +"
| The packers to-day introduced a dis
tinct novelty in strike brea king, a train
| load of immigrants said to be direct
| from Ellis Island. The Immigrants
were unloaded at obscure spots about
the yards and were smuggled in groups
of ten or twelve to the V9riOus depart-
ments, where the newcomers were put
TO work.
This took place while representatives
Of the packers were reiterating the as
sertton made yesterday that scores of
applicants for work are being turned
away, because only skilled men are be-
ing offered employment.

mo PUBLIC MONEYS FOR
SECTARIAN PURPOSES"
American Federation of Catholic
Societies Adjourn Mt Detroit.

Societies Adjourn Mt Detroit.
Detroit, Mich. Aug. 4.-The Ameri-
can Federation of Catholic Societies to-
day held the most important business
meeting of their three days conven-
ton. The following cablegram was
sent to Pope Plus x to-day:
"The American Federation of Cath
olic Societies assembled in Detroit at
it's fourth annual convention. greets
your holiness on this, your first ami
versary as supreme pontiff with sem
timents of f1lial affection, offer you it's
best wishes for a happy and success
full reign. and humbly asks for the
apostolic blessing.
Resolutions were adopted commend
ing the efforts of the men and women
who are working to educate the negroi
and urging generous support of the ef-
forts to spread the Tight of Catholic
truth" among these people.
On the school question, the resolution
says:
1--WE propose this solution of the ed
ucational problem so far as we are
concerned. Let no public moneys be
paid out for religious instruction in
any schools: let the educational per
capita tax be disbursed for results in
purely secular STUDIES only IN our cain
olic schools, our teachers receiving
their salaries as other teachers receive
theirs; to ascertain the results. let our
schools be submitted to state or city
examinations. Thus will the great
principle of our government. no public
moneys for sectarian purposes be pre-
served intact"
On the divorce question the resolu-
tions call for such laws as will effec-
lively restrict and reduce the facility
of obtaining a divorce and bring about
more uniformity in the marriage and
divorce laws of the different states.
Socialism is condemned and close
study of social questions is urged. The
resolutions then say:
1--WE heartily indorse the endeavor
of workingmen to better their ma
terial condition and to promote their
temporal prosperity by the formation
of trades unions, but at the same time
we expect our Catholic workmen to
form special associations, the object of
which is to provide also for their re-
ligious and moral wants, and to in
struct them properly on the social
questions, and a practical solution
thereof"
The Louisiana delegation succeeded
in capturing the convention unani-
mously for the selection of New Or
leans for the next annual meeting.
The convention adjourned sine die
after electing the following officers:
President. T. B. Minahan, New York;
treasurer, G. II. Schultz, Detroit; sec
retary, Anthony Matre, Cincinnati.

JAPS HALTING TO
BRING UP SUPPLIES.
when Rations and Ammunition Ar
rive Pursuit viii Continue.

When RatiOns and Ammunition Ar
rive Pursuit viii Continue.
St. Petersburg Aug. 5, $40 a. NJ
The fact that there is no further news
from the front beyond Gen. zassal-
itch's account of the fighting at ST.
nouncheng on July 81, bears out the
Associated Press explanation that the
Japanese are halting to bring up sup
plies, especially ammunition of which
a modern enga cement entails an ex-
travagant expenditure and without
which it would be impossible even for
a victorious army to follow up its
success.
The official estimate of the loss Of
over 1000 agrees with the figures in
a belated dispatch from Lao Yang
referring to the same fighting, and
which also says that the Russians
we're fully prepared to hold their po-
sitions when commanded to retire,
which was carried out in perfect or
der.
The tropical heat continues and there
have been many sunstrokes.
The receipt of Gen. Zassalitch's dis
patch was generally known to-day and
gave rise to extravagant rumors of
further fighting around Haicheng, and
several press dispatches were sent off
describing a fresh battle between the
forces of Gen. Zassaliteh and Gen.
Oku-
There is no apparent justification for
such sensational reports. The best in
formed military authorities declare
that there has been no fighting since
the Russians fell back to Landian-
sian. Anping and Anshanshan.

His Prompt Action in Hayti Saved
Lives and Property.


Port Au Prince, Hayti, Aug. 4.-The
city of Port Au Prince is in, state
of great disorder

refuge in the American legation, driv-
ing there in carriages flying the Amer

Resources of Western Nebraska.

The western part of the state found a
vigorous champion Monday night in H.
o. Barber who read before the Candle
Light club a paper on The Resources
of Western Nebraska" MIR. Barber de-
scribed the conditions that led mp to the
collapse of the western counties in the
dry years following 1890, and then told
of the things that have in recent times
contributed to the prosperity and happi-
ness of the people living there. His be-
lief in the future OF the western counties
is not based on the old theory that the
rainfall is increasing, but upon his
knowledge that the people have learned
to farm to advantage in a comparatively
dry climate and that they have learned
how to use stock raising, dairying,
poultry raising to their own enrichment.
