legged to nave lost 500 men. The only
thing of the least significance in this
connection is the short dispatch re-
ceived from Major General Karke-
witch, which was sent on June II, the
day the battle is said to have oc-
Cured. General Karkevitch does not
mention the Pu Ian Tien fight, of
which the authorities presume he
would have heard had it occurred.
His dispatch only covered events up
to the preceding day.
General news from the southern
part of the Lao Lung peninsula is
of the scantiest, and in the absence of
official news, the officials here are
not inclined to speculate as to the
situation. Up to a late hour tonight
nothing further had been heard from
Port Arthur.
The reports of continuous Skin
wishing along the railway south of
Vafandien are taken to show that the
Cissacks are keeping the japanese
busy in protecting their rear. While
heavy fighting is not regarded as be-
ing imminent, a more or less severe
brush with the enemy is likely at

To

Washington, June 13.-If all goes
Wednesday,. 1t is estimated tina it will
require this length of time for the
mission which has gone to his relief
with the ransom demanded, to reach
the brigands' camp. Mr.. Jusserand,
h French ambassador, was at the
state department n had a talk with
Secretary Hay about the Moroccan
situation. The ambassador has heard
from his government that the Sultan
will grant the brigand'S terms, and
indeed some Of Raisuli's men who
were in prison have already been re-
leased, as an evidence of the good
faith in which the terms are being
met. 1t is possible that some of the
released b~rigandS may ave been
sen with the mission.
The French government have been
active in conducting the negotiations
for PerdicariS' release, and this gov
eminent will express its appreciation
of these efforts as soon as he is free.
1t is also expected that the Ameri-
can fleet at Tangier will not tarry
long after RaiSuliS prisoners are re-
turned to Tangier.
Tangier. June 13.-The British
minister here confirms the reports
that nearly all of Rasuli's terms have
been granted by the Sultan of Moroc-
CO. whose reply has been forwarded

isfy the bandit chief, and that the
captives will be released immediate
ly. The minister was very guarded in
his statements and was unable to say
more until the captives are liberated.
