Interest of Charles S.sDeneen. States at

Lowden. After voting for Lowden for
two ballots the votes returned to Gov

it was useless to remain longer with
Lowden because OF his inability to at

his entire strength to Charles S. Deneen

LONDON, May I7-The
landing of a heavy force Of Japa-.
nese near New Chwang, the ap-.
pearance OF japanese force to

Kuropatkin's army from Lao

The correspondent Of the Mail.
at New Chwang thus tells OF the
landing near there: "For twelve
hours yesterday heavy continu-
Gus firing was heard in the di-
rcction Of Kaichau. Russian
scouts were sent to investigate
and returned this afternoon.
They reported that the Japanese
had landed troops at Kaichau
under the cover Of the gun fire
of four warships. The Chinese
population is tremendously ex-5
cited,
"The Chinese witnessed with
AtI
visible Joy the departure Of many
Russian residents. The guns
from the gunboat Sivoutch have
been sent to Tashichao. The adj
vance of the japanese is not ex-0
pected at present, because the
rain has converted the country
into quagmire.0
kaichau is the seaport OF kai
Ping, Other reports say the
number of japanese landed there
is something like twenty thou
sand men.
Much interest is felt BY ex-

ported to the northeast Of Muk-
den. i it is the army which
was reported to have landed on
the northeastern Korean coast
and later was to have reached
the Sungari River, it may mean
that Kuropatkin will be caught
in a trap and vii be compelled
to fight whether he wants togor&
not, with the very existence OF
his army depending on the re-
