BULLETIN.


st. Petersburg, Feb. PA dispatch
from Kuropatkin says: "The enemy is
continuing offensive against the front
OF our Tsinkhetchen detachment and
has turned both it's fanks.
1.-The Japanese have also advanced
against Kantie pass. turning out left
flank but all his attacks on Tangu and
Eeyialing have been repu1sed. His
offensive movement against Bona
rudz has also been repulsed. AT some
positions our rif1emen forced the Jap
anese outposts to retire. Col. Gorsky
was severely wounded"
ST. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-Aside from
the news of the resumption of the Jap
anese, attack on Cauto pass, the war
office has no dispatches from the front
and does not attach great significance
to the fighting eastward, saying the
forces engaged are comparatively small
though they are suffering heavily. The
Associated Press dispatches verify this
conjecture. The position at Tsinkhet-
chen, about seventy miles east of Muk-
den, is far advanced in comparison
with the general lines and the retire
nlent of the Russians was only. as far
as the general alignment, but the dis
patches intitmated that the Japs are
row concentrating against the whole
left flank, which is being heavily rein
forced in preparation for extensive
lighting. A correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press, who has investigated per-
gonally, reports that large forces Of
.Iaps are in Mongolia and says that
they do not exceed 600 japanese and
5000 Chinese bandits.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-Kuropatkin,
telegraphing yesterday, announces the
Japanese havd commenced cannonad-
ing in the direction of Gauto and Wan

JAPS FRIENDLY
To AMERICAN
PEOPLE
Secretary Taft Says Recent Riots
We're Not Anti-kmeriGan
Demonstrations.
By Associated Press.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 1S.-Secretary
Taft, in a cablegram from Toxic, con-
veyed to the president assurances of
the japanese government made to
him personally that the recent riots
in Japan were not anti-American
demonstrations. Mr.. Taft says the
riOting has subsidized and that mem.
bers of his party have not been sub
jected to the slightest indignity. He
expressed confidence that the friend
ship of Japan for Aemrica is abid-
ing.
Secretary Taft says the disturb
ances in Toxic arose thus: Many Of
the Japanese were disappointed be-
cause their hopes regarding the re-
suit Of the war had been dashed to
the ground. These people in Toxic
wished in a peaceable manner to pro-
test on the subject but the police
unwisely and illegally
attempted to restrain a legitimate
demonstration and thus met with re-
} stance. This created Tioting and
at once placed control of the move
ment in the hands Of the lowest ele-
ment and made the mob without con-
science.
