WORK NIGHT AND DAY
ON THE BALTIC FLEET

st. Petersburg, May %, 1886 p. M
Although work is being pushed night
and day to prepare the Baltic feet
for service, it is feared now that it
cannot be ready TO sail for the Far
East before September.
The delay is considered especially I'M
fortunate in view of the situation at
Port Arthur, where the arrival of the
fleet before the fall would compel the
raising of the siege.
1t has been found necessary to put
the battleship Orel in dry dock, and
possibly she may not accompany the
Baltic feet to the Far East.
There is no intention of purchasing
any South American warships offer
ed by private Arms. Neither has Rus
STA any intention of buying foreign
merchantmen for transport purposes.
-Four Hamburg American liners were
bought by the merchant marine depart
ment and turned over to the navy to
become part of the volunteer feet.
Twenty transports will accompany
the Baltic fleet, carrying coal, arnnu-
milton and every kind of stores. There
will also be repair, water condensing
and hospital ships. Altogether sixty
two pennants will go under Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky.

FIFTY GUNS WERE
TAKEN BY JAPANESE

Washington, May 2S.-The fol-
lowing cablegram from the Foreign
Office at Toxic was received at the
japanese legation to-day:

of the army attacking Kin Chou
reports that a detachment of
our troops, consisting of infantry.

Misunderstanding on the morning of
May 81. The enemy fed in the
direction of Port Arthur, after
burning a railway station at San
-HH-Tao, northwest of Dalny.
ION May 26 our troops captured
fifty guns, besides many other
things. The number of the en-
emy's dead alone and left in the
field amounted to 400. Our cas-
ualties, including dead and wound
ed, are estimated at 5000"

JAPANESE GENERALS
IN THOROUGH ACCORD

ST. Petersburg, May 2s.-The news
contained in the dispatch to the EN-
peror from Gen. Kuropatkin. under
date Of May 27, is all that was official-
ly given out tonight. While the dis
patch was brief and bald, it is con-
sidered extremely significant.
The fact that the japanese COM
menced to advance along the main Lao
Yang road Immediately they had forced
the neck of the Lao Tung peninsula,
and cut off Maj. Gen. Fock from any
cooperation with the Russians in the
north. shows a thorough understand
ing between the Japanese command
ers.
The authorities here believe that the
advance from Feng Wang Cheng has
only been suspended pending the elirni-
nation of Focks force, and they ex-
pect that the advance upon Lao Yang
VIII now be pushed in earnest. It is
evident that the continual shifting of,
and skirmishing by the advanced posts
of the japanese around Feng Wang
Cheng, have been merely successful in
masking the real force, consisting of
the third army, which is moving north
from Taku Shan. 1t is expected that
this force will be hurled upon Lao
Yang while the southern japanese
force is busy before Port Arthur.
The fact that there is almost a COM
plete suspension of press MESA es
from Russian correspondents at the
1r~ mt is taken to indi ate that important
movements are pending.

GOOD WORK DONE
BY JAPS' SQUADRON.

Toxic. May 2S.-The japanese squad
ron, which was assigned to cooperate
in the attack of the second army on
Kin Chou and Nanshan hill, composed
of the gunboats Thukishi, Kambia, Hell
yam and Chokai and the first torpedo
boat fiotlls, entered Kin Chou bay on
Wednesday. A heavy sea prevented its
participation in the fighting of that
day. The weather cleared on Thurs
day morning, however, and in spite OF
the shallowness of the water the squad
ron steamed close TO shore and bonn
barded the Russian batteries.
Early in the action a shell passed
over the forward deck of the Cholai
killing a lieutenant and two petty Off
GERS and two men.
The torpedo boat flotilla shelled the
railroad near the Shaos river. The tor
pedo boats took soundings and guided
the larger ships. The squadron ad-
vanced with the japanese right flank
and aided in covering it. Later in the
day the failing tide compelled the with
drawal of the larger ships.
Capt. Hayashi, commander of the
Chokai. was killed by the explosion
of shell near one of the ships guns.
-Four other men were wounded. The
vessels themselves were not dana ged

the Japanese infantry crossed the
ground where they had been placed.
1t is possible that the fortune of the
day hinged upon these mines. If the
Russians had been able 10 explode them
at the right time the losses among the
japanese troops would have been ire
mendous, and it is possible also that
the Russians would have been able to
hold the hill.
Nanshan. was splendidlx defended.
Nearly fifty guns of various sizes were
mounted on the various emp!acements.
and there were also two batteries of
quick firing field pieces. The artillery
was sheltered behind loopholed trenches
on the terraces OF the hill. The infan-
trv. manning the field pieces. son with
them around hill, thus using these guns
for the protection of the most impor-
tant points.
The Japanese began the fight by
bringing all their field guns into action
and concentrating their fire on the en-
placements on the hill. BY II o'clock
in the morning the principal Russian
batteries had been silenced. The two
Russian field batteries then withdrew
TO Nan Guam Ling hill and from there
continued to fire on the Japanese I'M
til nightfall
After the Russian batteries had been
silenced the Japanese artillery opened
on the enemy's trenches, the Japanese
infantry advancing meanwhile to
within rifle range. The japanese grad
ually worked to within 400 metres of
Ghe Russian lines where they en-
countered wire and other entangle-
ments. They succeeded in discovering
an opening in these obstacles, and get
ting finally to within 200 metres of the
Russian trenches, rushed for the line
Several successive charges were made,
but every officer and man in the at
tacking party was shot down, twenty
or thirty metres from the lines The
charges were then stopped and the
japanese artillery renewed its prepar-
atory fire on the enemy's position.
Towards evening a detachment of
japanese carried a section of the Rus
sian trenches, breaking through the
enemys line. Hundreds of the COM
rades of these men, inspired by their
successes, sprang forward and the en-
tire Japanese line swept up the hill,
driving the Russians from their posi-
tions.
1t was in the desperate infantry
charges that the japanese sustained
the bulk of their losses.

NEW FRENCH LAW ON
CHURCH AND STATE
Sweeping Measure Drawn Up by the
Committee.

sweeping Measure Drawn Up by the
Committee.
Paris, May 2S.-Premier Conbes' an
nouncement that the question of the
separation Of church and state would
come up in January, has drawn atten-
tion of the law already formulated by
the Committee on the Separation Of
Church and State. 1t Is a sweeping
measure, the opening clauses reading
as follows:
conscience and it guarantees the free
exercise OF religion without restriction,
except for the preservation of public
order.
THE republic will neither protect nor
pay salaries nor subventions under any
form whatever TO any denomination. II
will not recognize any minister of re-
ligion and will not furnish any build
ing for the services of any denomina-
ton or for the lodging of any of its
ministers"
The measure further abohshes the
concordat. suppresses the French en-
bassy at the Vatican and makes de-
tailed provision for the disposal of the
governments extensive possession of
church property.
In comparison with the present re-
gime. under which the clergy are sal
aried officials and the Minister of Pub
lie Worship is one of the members OF
the cabinet, the foregoing makes a
striking change in long established So
ctal conditions.

Said They Had no Power to Garry

New York, May 2S.-Receivers Taft
and Miller of the firm of Daniel ].
Sully & Co. to-day decided to refuse
the request made by Mr.. Suuy yester-
day that they demand the turning over
to them of 100, 900 bales of cotton, which
Mr.. Sully claims were still open con-
tracts on the day of the failure and
were not included in the failure, giving
several reasons for their refusal.
Thew also refused the request O.
outside creditors. besides the mem
bers of the Cotton Exchange, for the
payment to them in an equal division
of the full margins received.
The receivers, in refusing Mr.. Sully's
request, stated that they had no DOW

they were in favor and could recon-
mend such an order to the courts, they
are not certain it would result in Sc
rious loss of assets. Such a deal in

would involve $14,OOO,00o to $4,000. 900

The receivers say that even if Mr.
Sully is right in his contention thar
the contracts are still open, it would
be a default and that later he could
recover or his representatives could re-
cover from the default whether the re-
ceivers make the demand or not.
Suggested Corner in spots.
The receivers say: IF the cotton
were purchased at the contract prices
the receivers would have to pay about
$2,OO0.OO0 more than the value at thu
present market price. But the sug-
gestion is that by a skillful Taanipula-
ton of the deal a corner may be Gre
ated IN spot cotton. In other words.
as there are only 10000 bales in sight
the demand of the receivers for 1901 g0
bales would raise the price so that
even If they had to take the cotton al
contract prices they could sell it at a
profit; but il must not be forgotten
%hat there are forty or fifty persons
upon whom the demand for delivery
must be made. and that the receivers
would have to be prepared On Tuesday
to take any cotton rendered and at any
time -
They then set forth that they have
not sufficient funds to pay for he cot
ton that might be delivered under the
circumstances.

EXPECT PORT ARTHUR

New Chwang, May 2S.-A staff on
Ger just from Mukden says the DELHI
GRAFTON and precision of the enemy has
surprised Gen. Kuropatkin, who at first
believed the japanese campaign would
be one of dashing recklessness, with
more theatrical display about the ma
neuvers than strategy.

SLAMS have vacated the town, which
at the time of his departure had not
been occupied by the japanese forces.
The latter were still engaged in land
ing troops at Kin Chou bay
1t is said on excellent authority that
the japanese plan is to use a force of
100000 men in their operations against
Port Arthur and take it by storm in
a fortnight. They realize that their
losses in the execution of this plan will
be severe, but it is considered better
to take the risk than to keep a large
army idle for three months. They do
not propose, it is said, to penetrate
into the interior of the country nny
further than Mukden.

LOSS OF RUSSIA'S GUNS
DISTURBED THE CAR.

St. Petersburg, May %, sos p. M
Emperor Nicholas received the news
of the result of the fighting at Kin
Chou and in its vicinity at the palace
of Tsarskoe Selo. He at once sent
for War Minister Sakharoff, with whom
his, majesty and the members of his
military cabinet went over the dis
patches.
The Emperor received the report
that the Russians were compelled to
retire before the heavy artillery fire
of the enemy's batteries in front and
of his warships on their flank with
composure, as being the fortune of
war, but he was considerably agitated
by the later reports that Gen. Fock
had not succeeded in saving the Rus
sian guns. The members of the mill
itary cabinet pointed out that this
later report was not official, and be-
sides they expressed complete conf
dence that Port Arthur itself could
not be reduced except at an immense
cost of time and men, and with the
ard of the heaviest kind of siege
guns.
A high officer of the general STAFF
declared to the CORES pondent of the
Associated Press that the loss OF guns
reported captured was unavoidable. If
confined to those mounted in the
works on the hills below Kin Chou,
as they could not be carried away
when the Russians retired. but the
breech blocks, he added, probably had
been removed. Besides. before the en-
envy could use the guns against Port
Arthur they would have to manufac-
ture special cartridges Therefore the
loss was not so serious a matter. The
important thing to ascertain was
whether the Japanese had captured
any field guns.
The same officer said the works al
Kin Chou had been hastily construct
ed and were no criterion OF the works

A long cablegram from United States

in substance that Rasouly. the bandit
who kidnapped Perdicaris and his step
son. Varley. had been heard from and
made a set of demands which the Brit
lsh minister and Mr.. Gummere had
deemed it their duty to lay before their
governments.
Rasouly demanded that the Moorish
forces should be Withdrawn from the

large money ransom TO be collected
from the governors Of Tangier and Fee,
who happen TO be bitter enemies. He
further demanded absolute immunity
for himself and his followers from
kidnapping. and other crimes which
they had committed in the past
To cap the climax Of bis demands.
Rasouly insisted that the United States
and Great Britain should solemnly
guarantee the observance by the Moor
ish government Of the foregoing stipu-
lations.
Secretary Hay had a conference with
the President and it was agreed that
Rasouly's terms could not be met. To
grant them would be equivalent TO
forcing the Sultan of Morocco TO abdi-
cate in favor of a brigand so far as a
considerable part of the Moorish ter
