IN THE SUBWAY.
Strikers Secured Unemployment, But
 at Reduced Wages.

New York, March 1.-The traffic conditions on the elevated railroads and subway were slightly improved over those of yesterday. No more trains were run, but little better speed was maintained.
 All the employees of the Peterborough Go who went on a strike and whose wages had been previously advanced because of the length of their service secured unemployment only at the sac rifice of whatever advance in wages they had obtained. Experienced mo- tormen were reduced from $3.5O to $3 day, gatemen from $1.55 to $1.4O, guards from $1.9O to $1.55 and conduc. tors from $40 to $2.1O. So crushed was the strike spirit that the men ac. cepted the reductions without protest and with evidences of thankfulness at securing work. Many told the officers that they had joined the strike from fear.

PRESS CENSORSHIP.
heagre News in Appeal of New York
 and Bsrmudy Asphalt Co.

Willemstad, Island of Curacoa, March 14.-Advices received here from Caracas. Venezuela, announce that the hearing of the appeal of the New York and Bermudez Asphalt Go against the sequestration of its property by the government of Venezuela has been ad- jollrned to make way for the action of the Venezuelan government against the French Cable Co. It is alleged that President Castro has ordered the court to render judgment annulling the contract and authorizing the seiz> ure of the cable company's property. The government has, cut the coast cable east and west of La Guaira to prevent communication with the revo. lutionists who are active at Trinidad. The Europeans at Caracas are ex- cited.
 At the offices of the French Cable Go in this city it was said to-day that they had no information as to the ac ton begun against them by Castro. It is understood that for some time the company has been subjected to a good many endorsements in Venezuela. and Castro's action is probably in line with his generally oppressive policy. An exceedingly strict press censorship is maintained in Venezuela and but meagre news dispatches have been al- lowed to come through.

FIERCE HAND TO HAND
 FIGHT IN THE TRENCHES.
Russians Had Three Soldiers to One for the Japanese Heaps of Dead Were Left on the Field, the Former Losing 10.0CO and the Latter 5000 in killed-hany Staff Officers Among the Dead

Japanese Left Armies, Wednesday, March s, via Yinkow, March 13-From noon until darkness yesterday the left column of Generl Oku's army fought a desperate fight near Likampu. seven miles north of the river Hun and five miles west of the railway. The Rus sian forces outnumbered the Japanese three to one. The Russians, who had been heavily reinforced from the south, rushed out of their trenches to meet the advancing Japanese and fierce hand-to-hand fight ensued. The soldiers using their bayonets and the officers their swords. The Russian casualties were over 10000 killed and wounded, and the Japanese little over 5000. The Russian dead were left on the field in heaps, among them many staff officers.
 Last night part of the extreme left army reached the railway between Mukden and Tie pass, destroying it, thereby preventing the trains from running nOrthA
 The Russians are to-day retiring ill large bodies along the main highway. Belle cing that there is fully one Jap anese division across the railway, q large force is now holding the main road to cut the Russian retreat. It was fortunate that more of the left army was across the railway last night us it probably changed the outcome of tlie battle.
 Without the railway the Russians cannot remove their wounded nor their heavy guns which will probably fall into the hands of the Japanese. The Japanese, pursuing brisllly, cap- railway began retreating at midnight. The Japanese, pursueing briskly. cap tured few heavy guns and machine guns. The right wing of General Oku's army is to-day attacking Sujatun station ten miles south of Mukden. The station is at the Junction of the projected Hsinmingtun railway. The station is we'll fortified with heavy | works which were stubbornly defend ed. It was the center of operations against the villages north of the west angle of the railway line. where the | Russians have strong works which l were gallantly defended. The Japan l csc at noon occupied the villages on the main highway five miles south of Mukden continuing their pursuit of the Russians who hastily retired towards the north. Large bodies of Russians have been moving steadily from Mukden northwest along the highway.
 The battle south of Mukden today became almost pursuit, the center following in retreat, the wings holding
 the line giving the extreme left time to firmly establish its position astride the railway. Everything now depends upon the strength of this force and its ability to hold the railway and to throw the retreating columns out ou the roads where the badly organized Russian transport column will prob ably break down.
