POSITION OF UNITED STATES.
Circular From State Department
States This Government Attitude.

States This Governments Attitude.
Washington, Aug. 9.-"The recogni-
tion in principle of the treatment of
coal and other fuel and raw cotton as
absolutely contraband of war might
ultimately lead to a total inhibition
of the sale Of neutrals to the people of
belligerent states of all articles which
could be finally converted to military
uses. Such an extension Of the prin-
ciple by treating coal and ether fuel
and raw cotton as absolutely contra
band of war, simply because they are
shipped by neutral to nonbloca-
AIDED Port Of belligerent. would not
appear to be in accord with the rea-
sonab,e and lawful rights of neutral
commerce."
This is summary Of declaration
by Secretary Hay on the right OF neu-
trail nations during war. 1t was en-
bodied in q circular to American am
bassadcrs in Europe issued from the
state department. 1t is based
on declaration by the Russian gov
ernment that coal. alcohol and other
fuel have been declared contraband.

st. Petersburg, Aug. s.--Licuteraat
General Stoassel, commanding the
Russian military forces at Port Ar
thur, i'll an undated dispatch to the
emperor. says: Il am napDy TO report
that the troops repuised all the Japa-
nege attacks Of July 2e, q and 2S,
with enormous losses. The sarrsons s
enthusiasm was extraordinary. TIE
fleet assisted in the deIense by bom-
harding the Japanese flank. Our
losses during the three days were
about 1,500 men and forty officers
killed or wounded. According to;sstate-
ments of Chinese and prisoners the
japanese lost as many as 10000.
Their losses were So great that the
enemy has not had time to remove the
dead and wounded"
General Kourcpatkin reports a re-
connaissance Aug. on the south
front in the direction of the japanese
positions. The Russians set fire to
the village Of HencAuantsa, thirteen
miles northeast of New Chwarg, from
which place small force Of japanese
fed precip,tately. leaving their trans
port animals. The report gives de-
tails of other skirmishes and co.i-
cludes with the statement that there
is no change en- the east front Of the
army.
The Simultaneous receipt If favor
able news from these commanders in
the far east raised the spirits of these
in the Russian capital immensely.
General Stoessels dispatch though
ten days old, is taken as a refutation
of the recent rumors OF the fail Of
Port Arthur.
The part played by the fleet bears
cut the prediction of the Associated
Press that Rear Admiral without is
able to render efficient support to the
garrison.

GEN. KousopATKiN's SUCCESS.
Jape Admire Russian Commander for
Getting Army Away.

Toxic, Aug. S.-General Kouropat-
kin's success III extricating his army
from the Lao Tung peninsula without
disaster has ELECTED much praise from
the Japanese. The concentrating Of his
army at Kai Chou at one time seemed
certain to involve 1t in disaster.
1t was popuiarly believed that gem
eral decisive battle would either be
fought at Ia Tche Kiao or at Hal
cheng. 1t is considered here that
Kouropatkin sacrificed his prestige in
abandoning an immense amount Of
stores without a battle. 1t is evident
that he hoped and planned to check
the. japanese at Ia Tche Kiao and
then. after holding the enemy in
check. it is believed to have been his
purpose to concentrate his remaining
force at Lao Yang and to strike
Kuroki. The unexpected loss of the
Russian left at Ia Tchc Kiao and the
appearance Of the Japanese Takushan
army on the flank forced the abandon
ment and surrender. without g fight,
CT Yinkow, Haicheng and New
Chwang. 1t is generally believed that
the crisis will come shortly at Iiao
Yang and that Kouropatkin will be
forced to give battle. whatever his
present purpose may be.
General Oku's and the Cakushan
armies are pressing northward and
General Kuroki is close at hand.
ready to take any part necessary in
the general play.
The possession of Yinkow has enor-
mously simplifled the transportation
problem for the Japanese. 1t gives
their two armies freedom of move
ment which they have heretofore not
possessed. The japanese are speedily
repairing the railroad which the Rus
slams failed to seriously damage in
their hasty retreat
Detailed reports arriving ct Ku-
roki's headquarters show that thu
right wing of the Japanese army had
the hardest fighting during the battle
of last Sunday. A sensational feature
occurred at Chobaide pass, ten miles
from the Molten pass. A brigade. con-
stitutins p center column. raced with
two Russian regiments for the pos.
session of the summit. commanding
tho Russian flank. The Japanese
fired as they assembled, dislodging the
Russians from the rocks and killing or
wounding 1000 in very few min
utes. The Japanese sustained twelve
casualties.
General Kuroki reports that he
buried the bodies of 512 Russians on
the battlefio!dS of Yushulikbu and
Yangtseuling. In these actions he re-
ports tho capture of 26s Russians
eight of whom were officers. One hun,
dred and fifteen of the prisoners were
wounded.
General Kurolis staff surgeons
have examined the bodies of num-
Der of soldiers whom they allege have
been the victims of Russian atrocity
It was declared by the surgeons that
the head of Japanese soldier was
skinned by the Russians while the
blood was yet in circulation. -Four
cases in the vicinity of Siamatzsa
also were reported. in which the sur.
geons asserted that the bodies were
bayoneted and disfigured after the
victims had fallen wounded. The pub.
lication of these statements has ere.

 It happened so suddenly that the onlookers were paralyzed with the horror of 1t all-but not so suddenly that the brawny man who sprang for ward to drag the child from the path of the great automobile. and failed, did not find time to seize rock from the roadside and hurl 1t with unerr- ing aim full at the head of the haugh- ty chaffeur.
 So 1t happened that the cry of hor- TOT from the street was echoed in kind from the auto. and while tender hands picked up the maimed little body In the street other friendly hands held the lurching form of the young aris- tocrat in the auto from pitching out. and the big machine slowed up and stopped under the guidance of one of his friends.
 Two athletic young fellows-evi- dently gentlemen of birth and posi- tion--leaped from the vehicle and has, tened back with black brows, shout ing for the police.
 Tn the auto three young women in costly array swabbed the blood from the head of their injured comrade with priceless handkerchiefs of lace and still more priceless Ghawls. wraps and lingerie. One pair of dainty arms held the head of the wounded chaffeur, while four other dainty hands moved deftly to stanuch the wound. For. sheer as you may. these dainty daugh- Gers of the rich are much as other women on occasion, and are resource full, instinctive and unafraid.
 As the two young athletes rushed back toward the spot from whence came the rock that had wounded their comrade. angry and swearing ven- geance. they met with a sight which chilled their ardor. In front of them a brawny man., evidently a mechanic of the better sort, with wild eyes and foaming lips. striving with all -s his great strength to break away from the restraining arms of a full dozen ear nest men and rush to meet them. Just beyond, a group of women gathered about mangled. broken and moan ing little object They paused, how ever, but moment. The more deter mined of the two rushed toward the
