GREAT GLOOM IN RUSSIA.


st. Petersburg, May 10.--Two offic-
ial dispatches, calculated to increase
the depression existing among all cir
clcs in Russia we're given out last night.
From the point OF view OF the progress
OF the campaign, the most important is
that regarding the capture by the Jap
anese without opposition OF Feng Wang
Cheng, on May 8. The second gives
details concerning the killed, wounded
and missing among the troops under
the command OF Lieutenant General
zassalitch, as the result of the fighting
on the Yalu. the number of which
totals 1897 officers and men.
Now that General Kuroki ia estab-
lished at Feng Wang Cheng, tho Rus
SLAMS are puzzled as to what move he
will make next. The fact that he sent
two companies to Daliandiapu Tso, ten
miles northeast OF Fenq Wang Cheng,
might indicate his purpose to proceed
along this road to Ting Chang Glen, 90
miles north from where he would
march due west to Lao Yang. This
would permit an effective thanking
movement, but it is not considered
probable, the likelihood being that he
will move along the road by which the
Russians retreated toward Lao Yang.

NOW GETS LANDS.


Washington, May 1.-THE trouble
which the state of Oregon has been
having with its selection Of indemnity
lands in lieu of school lands embraced
within the disputed portion of Klamath
Indian reservation has been satisfactor-
lily adjusted for all time by the
Mitchell amendment to the Indian ap-
preparation bill, which specifically
gives the state the right to make in
demnity selections on such school lands
as base. Following his action of yes
terday, Secretary Hitchcock today re-
turned to the general land Office four
Oregon school indemnity lists which
had heretofore been disapproved be-
cause the state was unable to establish
its right to use the school lands in
Klamath reservation as base. These
lists were before the secretary on ap-
peal. Today he directed Commissioner
Richards to reconsider the cases in the
light of the Mitchell amendment,
which is equivalent to ordering an ap-
proval of the lists. These lists are
No. lo4, in Burns district, involving
279 acres; Nos. 1877 and ISL, in Lake.
view district, involving S,495 acres,
and 400 acres respectively, and No.
26l, in The Dalles district, involving
6,5l7 acres. Other lists of a similar
character that are pending, or may
hereafter be appealed, will be similarly
Of.

BRAZIL Is HOSTILE.


Washington, May lin view OF the
statement made by ths Brazilian lega-
tion defining Brazil's position In the
boundary dispuse with Peru. the Peru
Wan legation today made counter
statement to the following effect
Peru has never admitted In Brazil
any right whatsoever TO the territory
actually In dispute. The treaty OF 1851
contains no recognition In Brazil rights
as alleged by the Brazilian legation
The treaty In one OF smity and COM
merce and made no reference 40 TO the
territory now In dispute.
According To late reports II would
seem that the government OF Brazil, in
stead OF framing it's policy In accord
ance with the provisions OF its consti-
tuition, which provides tor the settle
ment OF international disputes by arbi-
tration, assumed hostile attitude and
has taken steps by no means conductive
to tho peace solution Ii has pledged H.
self to seek.
1.-THE Brazilian legations statement
that Peru took Advantage Of Brazil's
trouble with Bolivia to aend military
forces to the headwaters OF the rivera
Ynroa and Peru IL unwarransed, and as
= Peruvian population always has ex-
istsd there "a we'll as small "a, risons TO
preserve order. Peru today Ia DESTROYS
Of resortiag to arbitration, without de-
manding previous conditions, unneces-
cary to governments really wishing to
reach prompt, Just and pacific settle
ment OF their differences. This she can
offer as the best proof Of her good faith
and fraternal sentiments towards her
slater republic.''

LOST TWO THOUSAND.
Russian Generals Official Report on the
Yalu Battle.

St. Petersburg, May 6.-The Russian
losses at the battle of Kin Lien Chenp
were 1000 men and 40 officers. far
greater than previously reported.
This is the official estimate of Major
General Kashtalinsky, who directly
commanded the division that suffered
the brunt of the attack, and whose re-
port has not been received by the en-
peror. Many are inclined to place the
Russian losses even higher.
General Kashtalinsky mentions also
that more than 700 wounded had ar
rived at Feng Wang Cheng, and these
may not be included in his calculstions
tie made no attempt to estimate the
japanese losses, merely stating they
must have been colossal.
The magnitude of the Russian losses
bad an almost stunning effect on the
authorities, and aroused general grief,
m tigated only by satisfaction at the
bravery displayed by the Russian
troops.
Not for moment was there any in
tention to pay such terrible price for
delaying the enemy's crossing of the
Yalu.

ST Petersburg, May 0.--The effect OF
the disaster 10 Russian arms ON the
Yaia upon the Chinese Is being
watched with keen interest and consid-
cradle apprehension. The Russian gov
eminent appears to be satisfied with
the situation for the moment, and Paul
Lessar, the Russian minister at Pekin,
is making daily reports to the foreign
office. The report received from the
minister today contained nothing dis
quieting.
The Pekin government, according to
Russian reports, seems to be acting in
perfect good faith, and insists it ia in
tent upon preserving neutrality. 1t Is
turning a deaf ear to the appeals OF
anti Russian leaders, who want China
to throw In her lot with Japan. and is
doing all possible to suppress anti-for-
eign agitation among the people.
Nevertheless, the Russian authorities
regard China as powder magazine.
They realize the danger and necessity
for constant pressure. The danger OF
an anti-foreign movement throughout
the Chinese empire exists, not only
for Russia, but for all the powers, and
Russia has at least three times since
the outbreak of the war addressed the
powers on the subject, the last time be-
ing less than ten days ago. The
answers received uniformly show full
appreciation OF the need of exercising
a restraining influence ON Pekin, and
all the powers are cooperating to this
end.

TOGO BLOCKS IT
japanese Succeed in Last Al
tempt at Port Arthur.
GREAT BRAVERY WAS EXHIBITED.
MEN who Took the FIreships In Persuso-
cd Admiral to Make Attack In Day
light Instead Of at Night

London, May 6.--The opinion gains
ground here that the Japanese have al
last effectually blocked Port Arthur.
No official Japanese reports have been
received, but the Toxic correspondents
are very positive regarding the matter,
md describe the determination with
which the enterprise was undertaken
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
declares the entrance to Port Arthur IL
absolutely sealed, /" and adds that the
Japanese fleet, in effecting its purpose,
steamed into the entrance at full speed.
The naval officers who made the two
previous attempts begged PERMISSION to
carry out the next attack by daylight,
that being easier, and their request was
granted.
So determined were they to succeed,
adds the correspondent, that they de-
cided, II necessary to lose half their
men. The number OF casualties sus-
tanned by the Japanese has not yet been
announced.
The correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle is also positive the harbor is
'corked."
In favor of the supposition OF Japan
csc success in blocking Port Arthur it
is pointed out that the previous at
tempts had left the channel SO narrow
that couple of vessels sunk in the fair
way would probably suffice to seal up
the entrance, while there is a notice
able evasion, and half-heaI tedness, in
the Russian denials Of the enemy sue
cess.
There is no confirmation here of q
Paris rumor that an engagement be-
tween the Russian and Japanese squad
rons had taken place off Vladivostok,
and St. Petersburg knows nothing OF
the rumored capture of Niu Chwang.
1t is said the Japanese have advanced
to within is miles of Fang Wang Cheng,
and another engagement is expected al
most Immediately.
Reports have been received here that
the Japanese captured quantity OF
railroad material after Sundays battle.
This is supposed to indicate that the
Russians had made great progress with
the railroad from the main Manchurian
line to the Yalu. II this is so, it
would be simple matter for the Jap
anese to repair this line, which would
assist them in their advance
through difficult country. English
with the Japanese
forces on the Yalu are permitted to
send the most ample descriptions of
the people and country traversed, but
not one word about the fighting.
The Standards Tientsin cores
pondent says he is convinced that the
Russian position in Southern Man
churia is exceedingly weak, as conse-
quence of the enormous number of men
detached to guard the railway and to
obtain provisions.

is understood that the reason for de-

ure OF the national organization Of the

Seoul, May Slater reports OF the
Russian reverse on the Yalu are to the
effect that the Japanese captured ~
small rapid fire guns, besides 20 field
guns. They also captured 80 Russian
officers and over 500 men, many OF
whom were found hiding in the under
brush by Japanese searching parties.
Cossack officers who were captured
place the number of Russians killed
and wounded at 800, but it is thought
that this UNDERSTANDS the Russian loss,
which is considered very much
greater.

st. Petersburg, May 9.--It WAS offic-
tally announced tonight that the jap
anese have succeeded In gaining a foot
hold on the Lao Tuna peninsula, land
In. forces at Pitsewo and 1t Cape Ter
minsl, ID miles distant, and have cut
the line OF communication with Port
Arthur. Not only that but Viceroy
Alexien, Grand Duke Boris and many
OF the higher Russian officers in Man
churix narrowly escaped capture, or at
least being penned up In the beleagu-
cred town.
The SECS that the Japanese had ar
rived near Pitsewo was transmitted to
Port Arthur by = Russian signal corps
officer, who sighted the Japanese trans
port feet early on Thursday. He Inn
mediately notified the viceroy, and
preparations we're at once made for the
quitting OF Port Arthur by Admiral
AIexieff, Grand Duke Boris and the
viceIoy's staff, and In baggage car
we're placed all important documents
Of the Manchurian administrst lion,
which had been stored At army head
quarters in Port Arthur.
The last word received from Port
Arthur came from the commandment.
Lieutenant General Stossel, who stated
there was great confidence among his
men, and he did not believe the Japan
ese could capture the fortress, even
though they landed an army Of 1907
600. The garrison Is equipped with a
sufficient supply Of arms and ammu-
milton and enough canned provisions to
last them for Is months.
The Japanese army which has under-
taken the investment of Port Arthur
numbers fully 10000 men. General
Stossel has 10000 to $4,000 men,
among them being some OF the best
fighters in the Russian army.
1t IL admitted 1t will be necessary to
call out the entire Russian army re
serve, but this does not mean that they
are destined for Manchurian service.
They will be modified so that such
troops as are needed by General Kouro-
patkin can be sent to him, and the re-
mainder will be held for service for
which they may be needed. The work
OF rushing all Of the men to the front
will be much easier from now on, as
the ferry service across Lake Baikal
has been resumed.
