 Events cn the Yalu.

St. Petersburg. May 3.-UnIer today's date. General Kuropatkin telegraphs as follows; Owing to the Interruption of telegraphic communications, I have re- ceived no report from General ZassaI- itch.
 According to the testimony Of pr sons arriving here during the night from Feng Wang Cheng, the Japanese on May 1 were operating from the front with an overwhelming force of artillery and attacked our left flank in superior force, enveloping it. A hot fight Cc- cured at this point, ard the Twenty second and the Twelfth regiments of sharpshcOters were engaged, defending themselves vigorously and on several occasions taking the offensive, -inflict- ing considerable losses on the Japanese
 Our small force could not hold tn S position and retired, leaving several guns in the hands of the enemy. Ow- ing to our heavy losses in men and horses, we could not have succeeded in carrying off our guns, but their breech lCcks were reuove1. Our force fell hack on Feng Wang Cheng |, General Zassalitch's force consisted of five regiments and five batteries but according to information at hand, one regiment and two batteries station ed-at Shakt seZe, were not engag g d the Japanese not attacking that point
 "Our losses arc not yet known, but in view of the stubbornness of the con- flict, they must have been very con- siderable"

 ficial Celebration.

Tokio, May 3.-A supplemental report received here today from General Kuroki, dated today, says: Yesterday the enemy offered a stubborn resist ance to our pursuit. adding 300 to our casualties. The enemy stood with res olution until their artillery consisting of two batteries, had lost majority of their men and horses.

St Petersburg, May 3.-High Admir- al Grand Duke Alexis has received the following official telegram from Vice roy AleXieff reporting a Japanese at tempt to block Port Arthur early this morning: II respectfully report to your highness that a fresh attack was made by the enemy last night with the object of obstructing the entrance to Port Arthur and that it was success fully repelled.
 At 1 o'clock this morning five tor pedo boats were perceived near the coast from the eastern batteries. Un- der fire of our waTships and batteries they retreated southwaTd.
 At 1:45 o'clock the first fireship, e. COrted by several torpedo boats, was sighted, and we opened fire upon it from the batteries end warships. Three-quarters of an hour afterward our searchlights revealed a number Of fireships making for the entrance of the harbOr from the east and south west. The coast defense vessels Ota- Vashni and Gremieschne and the gun boat Giliak repulsed them by a well directed fire.
 Altogether eight ships were sunk by our vigorous cannOnade, by Whitehead tOrpedOes launched from our tor Dedo boats and by the explosion of several submarine mines. Further, ac- Cording to the report of the officers commanding the batteries and the gun boat Giliak. two Japanese torpedo boats were destroyed.
 After 1 o'clock a. m. the batteries and warships ceased firing subsequenu- ly firing only at intervals on the en- emy's torpedo boats, which were visi- ble on the horizon. All the fireships carried quick firing guns, with which they maintained a constant fire.

FIGHTING AND RETRIEVING.

Seoul, May 3.-It is learned here that after the fighting of Sunday night on the Yalu, the Japanese on Monday morning, started to pursue the enemy through the mountains. The Russian forces are said to number 10000. They sustained heavy losses.
 The Russian troops fled panic strick- en when routed at Chiu Tien Cheng and were pursued by the Japanese cavalry and infantry over the hill country toward Feng Wang Cheng from 1:JO D. m. until at night. The Rus sian army engaged was composed cf the third division and the Twenty-sec- ond and Twenty-fourth regiments of the sixth division and Mistchenko' 8 cavalry brigade, supported by forty field pieces and eight machine guns. The wounded, including General Zassal- itch and General Kastalinsky, have reached Antung. The guard of the Russians was eventually forced to re- tire after twenty minutes fierce fight ings

JAPANESE CUT WIRES.

St. Petersburg, May 3.-The silence of the authorities here regarding the late details of the fighting on the Yalu is interpreted ominouslv. The absence of official information is explained by the general staff by the fact that a few Japanese succeeded in getting in the rear of the Russian position and cutting the wires between Tai San Cheng and Feng Wang Cheng. Heavy losses are admitted, but it is net believed that they exceed a few hundred men and a few guns. It is now admitted here that both Zassalitch and Kashalinsky were wounded and twenty-seyen guns captured by the Japanese during the enga cement.

Another Japanese Failure to Block Port Arthur
A BIG LOSS OF MATERIAL
To It Is Added the Destruction of Two Torpedo Boats - The ROut of the Russian Into hanchuria-Report Capture of New Chwang.

St. Petersburg, May 3.-Admiral Togo made another, desperate attempt to block the entrance of Port Arthur last night, and failed. Viceroy AleXieff y.ported officially that the Japanese sent eight fire ships to block the en- trance. but all were sunk by Russian torpedo boats, and the fire of the land batteries, leaving the channel clear. The viceroy also reported that the Russians sank two Japanese torpedo boats.
 The fire ships were discovered by the Eearchlights of the batteries, and the Euardships, creeping toward Port Ar thur from east, southeast shortly after midnight. The torpedo boats and tor pedo boat destroyers were ordered out but none of the larger warships. Vic eroy Alexieff himself went aboard the coast defense vessel Otvashni.
 The guardships at the entrance of the harbor, and the forts opened a di- rect fire on the fire boats, which lasted until five o'clock this morning, when the last fire ship went down. The off, cial report does not specify where the steamers were sunk, but it is plain that the Japanese attempt to cork the el- trance of Port Arthur failed. The steamers were armed with Hotchkiss and Maxim guns and responded hotly 90 the Russian fire. The Russians suc- ceeded in saving few members of the crews of the fire ships. including twt officers.

cluding two mortally wounded officers, who took refuge on the launch or were rescued from the fireships by us have been picked up. An inspection of the roadsted and the work of saving the enemy's men were hindered by heavy sea running. We suffered no casualties with the exception of a seaman belong ing to the torpedo boat destroyer Boe- vol.
 r''On the appearance of the first fire ship, accompanied by the enemy's tor Dedo boats I boarded a launch and pro- ceeded to the Otvashni to take imme- diate measures for repulsing the fire ships. With me were Lieutenant Gen eral ZalinsBi and Captain E.berhardt of the naval general staff. Lieutenant General Stoessel was on the fortifica- tlons at the same time and General Loschinsky, chief of the defense force of the forts, was on board the Giliak."

STORM BREAKS AGAIN
Further Damage at Colorado Points
 Threatened.

Denver, May 3.-A Republican special from Buena Vista, Colo, says after a cessation of several hours the storm which has practically suspended al! railroad traffic in that section, was re stunned with added force this after noon. Six feet of snow has fallen in the mountains and considerable appre- hensiOn Is felt for the safety of the Twinn Lakes reservoir, which is re- ported to be running full of water. The Colorado Midland railroad has aban- doned its tracks in that vicinity and is using the Rio Grande tracks.
 The trains of the latter road are twelve hours behind. The Colorado and Southern has operated no trains on the Gunlison branch since Monday morning on account of the deep snow, which is piled high at both openings of the tun-el.

PREPARATION FOR LEAGUE OPENING
GIANTS WILL JUMP
OFF IN LEAD.

McGraw and his Giants are likely TO
get good start in the pennant race
of the National League early in the
season that will give them a big ad-
vantage, according to the schedule
adopted by the league.
on last years form the Giants will
have nothing but second division teams
10 play for the first twenty-one games
and of that number the Gothamites ex-
pect to capture fifteen easily. Brook
Ign, Philadelphia and Boston are the
three teams that New York will have
TO battle with. The four Western
teams-Chicago. Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and St. Louisville be more evenly di-
vided than the Eastern division, and
when the West goes East the race
Will be fully month old. and it looks
rs If New York would have a COM
manding lead by that time.
If the McGrawites have as easy a
time of il in the first games there will
be hard row for the Highlanders
to hoe in order to keep in the race for
patronage" said a baseball man, who
was looking over the schedule. with
the Giants up in the lead, the fans Of
New York will all go to the Polo
grounds, and few of them will think
OF taking that long ride to the Wash
ington Heights Park, even on non-con-
flicting dates. New York is by far
the best drawing team in the National
League IL II is UP in the lead. Last
year 1t had drawn enough by the mid
die OF the season to pay its whole ex-
penses, and the same thing looks likely

COLORED PUGS WILL DO BATTLE
IN SQUARED CIRCLE TONIGHT
Best Bout Seen in Savannah in Many Months is
Promised.

For the first time in many months
will have an opportunity tonight of
witnessing one OF the hardest fought,
II not the most scientific, ring battles
ever pulled off in Savannah, and max
Ing up in strength and endurance what
they may lack in science. Blood, the
Terrible and Homer Browne the Fight
ing Barber will do all they can to termi-
nate what is scheduled to be a twenty
round bout.
The bout will be patronized freely
tonight because everyone believes it
will be on the square, and if it is not
the decision of the audience will be
all that is necessary to have the door
receipts trrned over to some chariat-
able institution. Both men have
agreed to this proposition, and there
win no doubt be a hard fought contest
for the big end of the purse.
When the match was first announced
Blood's past game performances at
once made him favorite with those
who chose to pick the winner. Every
time he had been seen i'm the squared
circle he has been full of fight and has
never stopped. He beat Cape Town Joe
almost into insensibility, and was un-
lucky enough to get bad blow which
many claimed was below the foul line,
and had 10 stop. He would have I'M
doubtly gotten the decision had the
bout gone the limit.
But Blood's excellent record has not
been sufficient 10 convince those who
are familiar with the BARRIERS strength
and fast pace that he will
be the victor. Danny Dough-
