farewell TO the First Army Corps, which will
begin TO start for the front on July % the staff
following on August
The departure of the Emperor at time when
the arrival of an imperial heir is hoped for any
day is considered mark of deep personal SYM
rathy with the soldiers. especially since the ap-
preaching birth is Of such deep interest and
Importance TO the royal household at the present
moment. The Queen of the Hellenes and the
members Pof the imperial family are all assem-

JAPANESE PRESSING ON.
RUSSIANS FALL BACK.
Sakharof Reports Skirmishes o"
JUN Port arthur Ne1CS.

Reports from Russian sources failed 70
confirm the news of heavy fighting in Man
churia, though there was no denial of the
capture of Kai-Ping or of the defeat of
General Keller, published in yesterday S
TRIBUNE. General Sakharof sent word of
several minor engagements on July 7, and
added that the japanese advance along an
extended front continued.
Lao Yang advices gave details of night
engagement near Fen-Shui Pass, in which
the Russians lost 800 killed or wounded. This
encounter may be the one reported yesterday
from Rome, which placed the killed at 800.
The japanese detachment marching toward
Moukden was said to be falling back.
Official dispatches from Port Arthur, dated
July 7, said that only skirmishes had taken
place; that the land batteries had not been
in action, and that railroad trains were run
ming twelve miles beyond the fortress.
British officials attach no significance to
the Espiegle's failure to reach New Chwang,
where. it is believed, adequate protection is
afforded to foreigners. The withdrawal of
the British squadron from Pc-Chi-Li Gulf is
regarded as a further proof of neutrality.

TROUBLE FEARED IN BEIRUT.
Lawlessness in City-Governor Unable to
Maintain Order.

Beirut. June co.-What threatens 70 become
general period of unrest. such experienced
a year ago. when an attack was made the Amer
lean Vice Consul Mr. AIagelssen. has begun again
in this city. On Friday afternoon, June H. two
Moslems, caught il the OF smuggling and
ammunition into the Lebanon district, we're fred
upon by Turkish soldiers and killed. One OF tho
men killed had for many years been recognized as
a lawless character. and would have supposed
that most people would have been glad that his
career had been brought 10 a close. The Mosems.
however at oncs charged the Christians with muir
dering the two smuggIers. and before long the
whole town was thrown into wild state of excite
,nent Shops everywhere were closed. while Chris
tans fed 10 thefr> bones or places of safety out
side the city limits.
On the evening OF June - of the servants OF
an American and her son were fred upon. but were
not injured The young man stood or the upper
balcony while his mother about 10 enter the
lower gate leading into the garden. Four young
Moslems with guns happened 10 pass. and out OF
sheer deviltry took aim and fired both mother
and SON This was within one hundred yards Of a
notice booth where three soldiers guard.
The present Governor. Khall Pacha, seems to be
an energetic and well meaning man. but local
ditions make it impossible 10 maintain law and
ordcr.
Last year when the United States cruisers Brook
lvn and San Francisco were here. order was re-
stored but it was felt that this could last long
for the turbulent element which had murdered and
,,illagcd at random went unpublished. and thus
encouraged to even holder undertakings. That it
will again be heard from in the future appears
certain and it Is said that foreign governments

BRITAIN NOT AGGRIETED.
Ne7c-Ch7cang Hell Gumded-The
Squadr0n'S Sailing.

London, July 9.-It is said In official circles
that there is no likelihood of a serious question
arising from the failure Of tho British gunboat
Espegle to reach New-Chwang. So long for
eign life and property are protected the British
government is not disposed to station a gunboat
at New-Chwang. 1t is stated, moreover. that
Russia is fully advised as to the purpose of the
Foreign Minister. Lord Lansdowne. in respect
to the protection OF British interests and sub
jects.
The presence of British squadron in waters
near the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li has been the sub
ject of considerable talk in diplomatic circles.
and the orders for the squadron TO withdraw
south is credited to the desire of the British
government to show Russia that it has no in
tention Of giving even moral support to the
japanese fleet by the presence of a large British
force near the scene Of japanese operations.

naval commander Of the War Of 1872. who died at
Bordentown. n. J.. November 8. 1863. and

KAI-PlNG'S GUARDS FEW.
Samsonof's Defence Praised :
Many Minor Engagements.

St Petersburg. July 10.-The War Office is
still without information regarding the report
of the capture of Kai-Ping, but the general in
clination is TO believe that most severe Tight
ing took place there. and that it reflected great
credit upon General Samsonoff's few hundred
Cossacks who constituted the garrison.
July 9-General Sakharoff. in a report re-
ceived by the general staff, gives further de-
tails of the advance Of the Japanese forces> and
saws that on July several minor engagements
occurred but that the casualties were not of
any consequence.
1t is evident. the report says. that the Jap
anese are advancing along wide front, though
Us yet there has been no serious engagement.
While the occupation of Kai-Png, It Is be-
Iieved will not exercise material influence on
Kuropatkin's plans. it is Of Importance 10 the
Japanese, as it brings them within reach Of
New-Chwang. It would not be surprising II,
after the iuncture of the Japanese armies, kuro-
patkin decided To retire even from Tashi-Chlao
and Hai-Cheng and concentrate his forces about
his main position at Lao-Yan6. This would
render easy a possible japanese plan TO flank

RUSSIANS AGAIN ON SEA.
Belief That Both the SquadronS
Haze Left Ports.

St Petersburg. July e.-The Associated Press
is informed that there Is reason TO believe that
the Vladivostok and Port Arthur squadrons
have sailed again, there has been ample time
for the former to recoal and prepare for an
other cruise since. its return to Vladvostok on
July 5, and as It is considered unlikely that the
Port Arthur squadron would remain at that
port more than fortnight for the slight re-
pairs necessary to be made TO the battleshp

1t is regarded as significant that the admiralty
has not received any report from Rear Admiral
Wittsoeft although the War ONCE has a dis
patch from Port Arthur. partly dealing with
naval matters The admiralty does not deny
that both squadrons have gone out.
