Major General Mistchen, commander
Of the eastern Cossack brigade accord
ing to reports received at the war of
flee dated yesterday, attacked the Jap
anese advance Posts on the Stu Yen
Ia Tche Kiao road, and a sharp en-
gagement resulted, in which artillery
was brought up and the Japanese for

The position Of General Kuroki's men

miles per day and marching in order
of battle, evidently expecting momen-
tarily an attack from the Russians
Oku was about ten miles from Kai-
Chou yesterday.
The city is full of rumors that heavy
fighting is in progress at Ta-Tche-Kiao.
These rumors are said to emanate from
the palace Of Peterhof, but no confir-
office reports representing the latest
intelligence in the possession of the
war office.
Anent the naval battle of Port Ar
thur, June %, the only sister ship of
the Peresviet is the Pobieda; of the
Diana the Pallada and of the SevaSto-
pol the Poltava. 1t transpires that the
Emperor received the news last night,
although through what agency is d
mystery, but it possibly came from
French sources at Toxic.

a large company of high dignftarieS OF
state and military and naval officers.
The banquet on the Hohenzollern

1T is the youngest creation among
fleets in the world and an expression
of the reviving sea activity Of the

great Emperor Of undying memory.
1t is intended for the protection of
trade and territory, and it also
serves, like - German army, it also

years and which Europe has preserved
with it. 1t is known to every one

ence that your Majesty's whole en-
deavors are directed to this very end

am ever devoted to the wish that all
might attain this end. May God lend
success to our efforts.
King Edward in his reply said:
Your Majesty's appreciative refer
ence to my unremitting endeavors for
the maintenance of peace deeply
touch me, and am happy in the GER
tainty that your Majesty has the same
object in view. May our flags float
side by side to the remotest ages.
even as today, for the maintenance
of peace and the welfare, not oaly
of our countries. but also of all other
nations"
A salute from the warships accom-

burst into a blaze of light. Many
small craft were illuminated, some

Unsuccessful Attempt to Destroy &
Bridge.

Mukden, June 23.-Last night one
hundred Chinese bandits, exceliently
armed and equipped, and led by Jap
anese officers, attempted to blow UP
with dynamite the bridge over the Kou-
Iau river, three miles south of kerson
and 127 miles northeast OF Mukden.
The attack was repulsed by
border scouts. According to the
Inhabitants of the vicinity, there have
been numerous previous attempts TO
destroy this bridge. The bandits are
said to fight splendidly and to be en-
tirely different from the ill-organized
brigands of 1900.

A Great Battle Is Unavoidable.

Lao Yang, June 26.-The armies Of
General Oku and General Kuroki, ag-
gregating at least six divisions, are
confronted By the huge force under
General Kuropatkin. The tension here
is most acute at the approach of the
important battle of the war, in which
three times the number of troops en-
gagged at Kiu Lien Cheng, Kin-Chau
and Vafangow, will take part. The
proximity of the rainy season makes
the battle unavoidable.

The Admiralty Has No Direct News
of the Battle.

st. Petersburg, June 25.-The admi-
rally has no direct news OF the naval
battle fought off Port Arthur June 23rd,
but the announcement of the engage
ment evidently created no surprise
here, the authorities having been aware
that the squadron of Rear Admiral
Wilhoft was ready to put to sea at Il
moments notice.
On Thursday, the correspondent of
the Associated Press was informed, as
announced in these dispatches, that
important naval developments were
anticipated. If an actual engagement
occurred, the admiralty cannot believe
that Admiral Togo got off practically
scot free. Particular solicitude there
fore is expressed to know whether the
Russian battleship Peresviet was sunk
by a mine as she was emerging from
the harbor or by a projectile, as it Is
known that the Japanese have repeat
edly tried to mine the entrance.
