LATEST WAR NEW s.

A remarkable report to the effect that
General Koropatkin and his army of Rus
slams are hemmed in between Lao Yang
and Mukden is current and in many quar-
tiers is given credence.
Dispatches from MaDchurian points re-
ceived during the last twenty four hours
have intimated that the willy japanese
have deep-laid plan on foot by which
tn ey will attempt master stroke, which,
if successful, will impose crushing blow
on the Cars land forces. What this
stroke is the report mentioned seems not
to make manifest.
Several dispatches, notably one from
the Central News Rome correspondent
indicate that General Kuroki has sent q
large force of troops to the north of Muk
den and that the latter place is now cu1
off.
These reports, if true, mean but one
thing, and that is that the Japanese, fol
the time at least, are masters of the stu
alton. If large force now lies between
Mukdcn and Russia, General Kuropatkir
will have to fight double headed enemy
with large force in front and another
large force in his rear. t. add to the i'm
portance of the movement, it is stated II
some quarters that the Japanese force
out numbers the Russian.

should Field Marshal Oyama continue
to press northward. Nothing more
important than rear guard actions
marked the march to Mukden. The
region south of that city is now clear
OF Russians. 1t is evident, however,
that kuropatkin is taking precautions
to prevent the Japanese from creeping
around his tanks, as he reports that
the Japanese cavalry is actively scout
ing wide on his fanks. The Japanese
are reported to be moving up about
thirty miles on either side of the rail-
road, with the view to surrounding
Mukden, but whether Kuropatkin will
accept an engagement or continue
northward will probably depend at the
decisive moment upon the temper and
condition of his troops, who doubtless
have been much shaken by the long
fight and the hardships attendant upon
the retreat.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT BEGINS
SENDING CHECKS TO MEN
OF DEWEY's FLEET.
CASES IN COURT FOR SEVERAL YEARS
IN THE BATTLE OF
MANILA BAY WILL DIVIDE
OVER $4,000.

Washington, Sept. 9:-The treasury
department has begun sending checks
to the officers and men of Admiral
Dewey's fleet in payment for the
awards of prize money made for the
victory Of the American feet at Ma
Mia bay. The first checks went out
during the day and the others will fol-
low as fast as the auditor for the navy
department certifies them to the war
pected that all of the 1000 officers and
men who were in the battle of Manila
bay will get their checks within six or
seven weeks. Among the checks SO
far sent out are those of Admiral
Dewey, Captain Lamberton and Mrs.
Harriet Gridley, wife of Captain Grid
ley. The check to Admiral Dewey is
for $18,516 The next largest sum was
to Mrs. Gridley, whose husband COM
manded the largest ship in the battle
the Olympia. This is for $9,413. The
pay is in proportion to the size and
armament of the ships that took part
in the engagement.
The total amount to be divided is
$370,336 and as rule the officers and
men will receive sums amounting to
about three months pay in proportion
to their regular salaries. This was
increased as to some of the command
ing officers. The smallest amount to
any number of the crew is 500. This
is to be paid to men who received an
nual compensations of $3.50.
The adjudication of the cases has
been hanging in the courts and in the
treasury department for some time.

ENTIRE ARMY REACHES THE MAN.
CHURIAN CAPITAL AFTER
A WEARY MARCH.
JAPS MAY PUSH ON TO THE NORTH
POSITION OF GREAT STRENGTH
LIES ABOUT FORTY MILES
ABOVE MUkDEN.
SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.

The meager news which the day has
brought from the front indicates that
there has been a cessation of actual
fighting. Kuropatkin reports that his
whole army is now at Mukden and
that he did not lose single gun in
his retreat. Kuroki's army is on his
east flank and that of Oku on his left
flank and st. Petersburg officials sur
mise that big battle may be fought
if the Japanese continue to press on
Mukden. Should this movement north
ward on kuroki's part continue it is
regarded in st. Petersburg as probable
that Kuropatkin will be compelled to
race him for Telling pass, a strategic
position forty miles north of Mukden.
There is nothing in the dispatches,
however, to indicate with any degree
OF certainty whether the two armies
will be forced to again engage at Muk-
den Or whether the Russians will con-
tnue 10 laiI Oach OH lleling pass.

On Oct. $4,000 worth of interest
in the company's bonded Indebtedness
will become due and there are now
pending against the company five
suits for different amounts, aggregat-
ing $4,000. A rule was made, return

shown why the appointment of the

DENIED BY JAMES J. HILL.
Report That Russia Purchased the
Minnesota and Dakota. -

New York, Sept. 9.-Reports are
in circulation, supposedly emanating
from trustworthy sources, says the
Herald, that two of the largest steam
vessels ever built on this side of the
Atlantic have been sold by James j.
Hill to the Russian government. The
ships in question are the Minnesota,
recently completed, and the Dakota,
now on the stocks at New London,
Conn. 1t was even stated that local
ship broker was to receive commits
sion of $35 900 for conducting the sale.
When asked about the reports Mr..

Esopus, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Editors OF

They were received by the candidate
and the visit was made the occasion
of the first political speech he has
made in many years, barring only that
in which, on Aug. 10, he accepted the
nomination.
The greeting of the editors to the
candidate was delivered by Charles
w. Knapp, editor of the st. Louis Re-
public.
Judge Parker spoke at some length
in reply to Mr.. Knapp. The candidate
was greeted with cheers and his speech
was applauded throughout.
After the speaking was over Judge
Parker and the members of his family
greeted all the guests at an informal
reception held on the veranda. The
entire delegation and other visitors
then proceeded to the boat, where

many points along the Southern coast
come reports of damage by great bill

volcanic disturbances far out in the

full of wind, enormous waves, in some

came during the day that the wharf at
Hueneme is doomed to destruction.
At Terminal island the sea wrought
considerable havoc and hundreds of
men are at work piling up sacks of
sand to form breakwaters. Several
cottages are inundated. At Long
Beach and at Ocean Park pleasure
wharfs have been much damaged and
no one is psIpitted to go on them.

Mukden, Sept. 9.-The fighting has

There is much uncertainty concerning
the movements and purposes of the
Japanese.
1t is impossible to say yet whether
there will be another battle here or
further north. General Kuropatkin
evidently is not seeking to renew the
battle, but if challenged he will not
decline an engagement.
