WILL ATTACK HAICHENG.
Strong Reinfercements for Kuroki's
Army Are Advancing.


LIAOYANG, June 19.-The ia p
anese continued to press the Russian
forces returning from the battle of
Vafangow on the night of June IS.
They had remained at Vafangow all
day and at night persistently pushed
forward and tried to get around the
Russian right wing, which had borne
the brunt of such heavy fighting the
previous day.
A terrific thunderstorm burst at
night, rendering the roads almost i'm
passable. They were bad for the Rus
slams and equally so for the Japanese,
who were unable to overtake the Rus
sian right. The Russians, therefore,
were enabled to retire gradually to the
north.
1t is said here that General Kuroki.
with the main force of the Japanese, is
at Siuyen. 1t is said he intends uniting
with the force advancing from the
south and make a combined attack on
Haicheng.
Further details of the fighting on
June Is show that the Russian advance
on the Japanese position, when it was
hoped that Lieutenant General Stakel-
berg would drive back General Nodzu's
J army, was brilliant affair. Soon af-
ter dawn the Japanese were discover
ed in strong force on a hill north Of
Dyaiwo. The infantry was we'll en-
trenched and supported by artillery.
The Russian left was thrown forward
with reserves to clear the hill. They
had little over a mile Of open country
to cross, their only cover being two
small hills and two shallow valleys.
The japanese concentrated a deadly fire
as soon as the Russians reached the
open.
The Russians formed in open order
and rushed from point to point, taking
advantage of every depression in the
ground, dropping and firing, then ad-
vancing again until they gained a hill,
where they halted for breathing
space.
Over the hill the japanese threw
shrapnel, which burst with deadly ef-
feet. Some squadrOns lost every Of
ficer killed and half the men wounded.
The battle then became a hand-tO-
hand fight, with stones and gun butts,
and the remainder of the Russians, TAX
ing advantage of this diversion, gained
the shelter of a neighboring ravine, but
were unable to hold the position in the
face of the rain of shells and shrapnel
concentrated there by the Japanese
batteries.
The Japanese heavy guns silenced
the artillery supporting the Russian
attack. Thirteen Russian guns were
smashed to atoms and their horses
killed. majority of their gunners
Weer killed or wounded.
The Japanese at this moment de-
livered their main attack. The whole
division was thrown against the Rus
sian center and two divisions around
the right flank. The hard pressed
right held out until II o'clock in the
morning when two regiments rushed
to it's assistance. The whole force
then advanced, cheering, and actually
rolled the japanese advance back. but
General Nodzu poured in fresh troops,
regiment after regiment.
The Russian commander saw that
he was being enveloped and rallied
his reserves and retired in order.

HEAVY WEIGHT
CRUSHES DOCK
Big Wharf at Hunters Point
Is Precipitated Into Bay
From Overload of Sand
CLOSE CALL FOR MEN
Driver, Wagon and Horses
Narrowly Escape Going
Down Into Rushing Waters

The northeast corner of the big wharf
adjoining the drydock at Hunters
Point fell into the bay With a loud
crash on Saturday afternoon. The
cause of the accident was the piling
on the dock of huge weight of fine
gravel and sand, which was being
landed there from a small bay
schooner. The sand was to have been
used by the San Francisco Drydock
Company, which owns the wharf, on
concrete work.
The weight proved too much for the
structure, and sand, wharf and all
went over into the bay. At the time OF
the accident the crew of the schooner
was engaged in dumping the sand on
the dock and teams were attempting
to haul the material away as fast as
possible. About 100 tons had been un-
loaded. One Of the wagons, with horses
attached, was backed up against the
pile and was almost loaded. When the
wharf fell in it left the wagon standing
on the very brink of the opening. Had
the break been six inches nearer,
wagon, driver and horses would have
gone down into the swift ebbing cur
rent running at that time. AS it was,
the driver had to jump for his life.
The only thing that saved the team
was the fact that it happened to just
be on the edge of the planking that
rested on the Gaping of the piling. On
and about that portion of the dock that
caved in there were nearly fifty men
and their escape was almost miracu-
lous. AS ii was, they all received a
scare they Will not soon forget.
The water is very deep at that point
m - Had of
the men been entangled with the fall
ing mass of beams, planks and sand,
i. would have been impossible to save
them.
Takes Fatal Draught of Laudanun.
Despondent over domestic troubles,
Frank A. Peachy ended his life last
night with a draught of laudanum in
n saloon at O'Farrell and Jones streets.
Peachy was 26 years of age and re-
sided with his mother at 214S Steiner
street.

the first effort. Howe and Scott work
and Gracey and Burnett do some good
work in a. sketch for some unexplain-
able reason called "A Royal Janitor."
Any other name would fit it just as
well. Some of the cleverest trick rid
ing ever seen on the Orpheum stage.
or perhaps any stage for that matter,
is done by the Zarrow trio, using BIZ
cycles, unicycles and nondescripts.
The motion pictures, showing the San
Francisco Fire Department in action,
are splendid. They deservedly att
tracted more attention than is usually
paid to moving pictures. The hold
over attractions on the programme are
good, and are winning as much ap-
plause this week as they did last.

TYNER SILENT ABOUT
SUIT AGAINST RAILROAD
Former Postmaster General Declines
to Discuss Threatened Action for
Defamation Of Character.


Defamation Of Character.
WASHINGTON, June 1e.-James n.
Tyner, former Postmaster General,
awaits some answer to his letter asking
President Roosevelt TO clear him from
the reflections contained in the White
House review of the Bristow postal
scandal report.
To inquiries about the report that he
would sue the President for 100000 for
defamation of character unless a re-
traction were forthcoming. General Ty-
ner replied he had made no statement
that he intended to bring such a suit.
He would not say whether he contem-
plated such action, but intimated that
he might have a further statement to
make in the lse. 1t is believed that
General Tyner is inclined to let the
story that he will sue the President
gain ground In the hope that it may
influence Roosevelt to withdraw his
charges.
