JAPs HAVE LOST HEAVILY.
Officer of High Rank Points Out I'm.
portance of Victory.

TOKIO-A Japanese officer of high
-ank made the following statement
to the correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press:
The Japanese in attacking Kin
Chou and Nanshan hill had to fight
against great odds. The Russians
were in full command of the strategi-
cal advantages afforded by nature and
these advantages were augmented by
the newest inventions for defense.
The forts on Nan Shan hill were arm
ed with heavy guns. The Japanese
had only field guns, heavy guns be-
ing unavailable on account of the diff
fculties of transportation.
Our army deserves great credit for
having driven the Russians from this
stronghold; it was a feat previously
considered to have been impossible.
fear our losses have been heavy, but
we have gained the strongest point
barring our way to the investment OF
Port Arthur.

AT PORT ARTHUR
GEN. KURoPATKIN WILL MOVE
FOR ITS RELIEF.
HIS Array is ON THE MARCH
A Maneuver for Attacking in the Rear
the Japanese Now 5eslesing Port
Arthur-London Receives Reports
with Skepticism.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from differ
ent points seem to confirm the ru-
mors that General Kuropatkin is at
tempting a diversion in the direction
of Port Arthur Russian reinforce
ments, according to a dispatch from
Tien Tsin, are moving southwark
from Kaipling toward Wafangtien,
under General Stalkenberg. They
comprise battery of artillery, four
Siberian regiments and company of
Cossacks, aggregating 10000 men. An
other brigade is following, the inten-
ton being to engage in their rear the
Japanese now attacking Port Arthur.
The Standards correspondent at
Tien Tsin, sending the same news,
says: "The Russian force in the en-
gagement at Wafangtien May 80 was
supposed to have been formed of four
Siberian regiments which were re-
ported to have left Tachahiochio May
%, being the first portion of a reliev-
ing column for Port Arthur. The rail-
way is fairly intact from the north
of Wafangtien, but is completely de-
stroyed from there to Pulantien.
The Japanese are unconcerned
over this demonstration, being con-
WINGED that it will be impracticable
for the Russians to move a sufficient
force to prove effective"
These reports are received with a
certain measure of skepticism in Lon
don. The belief here is that if Gen
eral Kuropatkin is undertaking such
desperate move he can only be do
ing SO in Difference to the strongest
political pressure and against his own
better judgment.
No further news of any kind has
been received about the movements
of the Japanese forces. Both Generals
Kuroki and Oku are working in the
utmost secrecy.
The Daily Telegraph's well IN
formed Toxic correspondent estimates
the total defending force at Port Ar.
thur as 10000. This is a most for.
midable army" he says, land it will
be marvellous achievement to carry
| by assault such a place with more
than a score of great landward forts
disposed at distance of fifteen miles
from the harbor. Still, the reduction
of the place undoubtedly can be &C
complished."
According to the Chronicles Toxic
correspondent, the Russians have
cupled eleven fortresses at Lao Yane
and are laying mines at distance Of
5000 feet around them.

Five Hundred Miners Strike.

DULUTH, MINI - Five hundred
miners employed by the Drake &
Stratton company at Eveleth went on
strike Wednesday because their wages
were cut from $1,S5 to s160 per day.
For a time they threatened to do
damage to the property, but wiser
counsel prevailed, and, aside from a
parade on the streets tonight, in which
all of the strikers participated. there
was no demonstration. The strikers
have pickets stationed about the
works, and say they will not allow
anyone to take their places.

TREATY WITH FRANCE.
House of Commons Passes on Second

second reading in the House of Com
mon this evening. The bill provides
for the assent of Parliament to the
indemnities and cessions of territory
under the recent Anglo-French agree
ment.
Premier Balfour, in the course of
the debate, said the speakers showed
lack of appreciation of the enormous
benefits accruing from the arrange
ments in regard to Newfoundland.
Under the old arrangement peace be-
tween France and Great Britain hung
by a thread. The difficulty was now
removed forever. He considered the
Anglo-French agreement to be one OF

lions on record and the beginning Of

the force which had been harassing
them for twenty-one days. In the

The Cossacks picked UP boots which

The Japanese used the Boer trick
