General Kurokis Headquarters,
Feb. %, via Fusan. March 1.-The
Japanese Saturday achieved signal
victory over the forces commanded by
Lieutenant General Rennenkampf.
While this victory is important in it.
self It Is more so because OF the stra-
tegic advantage gained by the Japan
ese. The fighting was over a noun
famous country between 30 and 45
miles east of Yentai, which is about
Is miles northeast of Liaoyang.
General KurolSi's infantry again dis
played remarkable qualities as hill
fighters, and proved their superiority
to the famous cavalry of the Russians.
The right of the Japanese winter
position has been near Ponchi, extend
ing towards the southeast on the south
of the Shakhe river and west of the
Taitse river. In the movement a body
of Japanese troops which had been ad-

toward the northeast and swept the
Russians before them.

northeast of Tsinkhetchen. where the
Russians held strongly defended en-
trenchments.

GIRLS PLAY BASKETBALL
Par<ssburs High School Team Defeats
West Chester Fair Ones.

Several weeks ago the ladies of the
West Chester High School Were defeat
ed by the Parkesburg High school
girls basketball team by score of %
to 3, says the Parkesburg. Pa. corre-
spondent OF the West Chester Local
News. This game was played at
Parkesburg. On Saturday the p. II. S.
girls team met the W. C. II. S. girls
on the home field and won the game
again. this time by a score Of 6 TO g.
The game was very interesting
throughout, both sides having numer-
Gus well wilshers among the audience.
This victory for the Parkesburg team
was not surprise, for the girls went
into the game with the spirit and stren-
uousness which any good game re-
quires.
At the end Of the first half. which
was played according to girls rules.
the score stood 5 TO I'm favor OF
Parkesburg. In the second half, boys
rules, two goals from the center were
made by West Chester and one by
Parkesburg. Taken as whole. the
game was well played by both sides
and really tested the capacity of the
teams and manifested we'll the super.
ority Of the one over the other.

81. Petersburg, March 1. The
latest news from Manchuria Is OF the
most important nature. the Associated
Press dispatch from Mukden, which
was transmitted at noon of Tuesday.
indicating that a general battle was
beginning along the whole of the 100
miles Of front occupied by the two
armies General Kuropatkin appears
20 have taken a leaf out of Field Mar
shal Oyama's book and replied to Gen
eral Kuroh's attack on the Russian
left by a counter attack on the Japa-
nese left, in which General Kaulbar's
initial success is better for the Rus
SLAMS than the best efforts of General
Gripenberg. the Russian vanguard be
ing established at the outskirts Of
Sandiapu. At the same time General
KuropatlSin delivered a blow against
the Japanese center, Selling a railroad
bridge across the Shakhe river. These
reports, therefore, give a more hope
ful aspect to the situation, as the Rus
sian army. though driven out of Da
Pass, appears to have succeeded in
stopping, at least for the moment, the
further advance of the Japanese east
ward and beaten of the attack on the
center.
The effect Of yesterdays develop
ments on General Kuropatkin's report
ed intention TO withdraw from the
Shakhe is problematical. Retirement
in the face OF an enemy, which is ex-
tremely hazardous under any circum-
stances, is doubly dangerous when the
armies are graphing in a general en-
gagement; but If General Kurolh sue
ceeds in rolling up the Russian left
much further the perilous expedient
may become necessary. The counter
strokes on the right and center may
possibly be intended to cover the
Withdrawing of trains and stores. If,
however General Kuropatkin is deter
mined to stand and fight out the bat
tie on the line which he has held dur
ing the winter, and If he should be
able to administer a vigorous check
to General Kurold, he has secured a
good position for his second move in
the great game.

It Is Rumored Notable Events viii
Happen In Russia On That Day.
st. Petersburg. March Next Sat
urday being the anniversary of the
emancipation of the serfs, rumors have
been in circulation that the day has
been selected for notable events of
diverse natures. According to some
of these rumors, the worlImen are
planning an immense revolutionary
demonstration. while according to
other reports the government intends
to commemorate the anniversary by
issuing a manifesto establishing some
form Of representative legislative body.
1t was stated positively yesterday,
however on competent authority that
there is no intention on the part of
the government to signalize Saturday
by any special manifesto; and plans
for a demonstration of workmen, if
there are any, have not yet reached
themen or the liberal leaders. On the
other hand it seems certain that the
recently revived council of ministers.
at its weekly sessions, is considering
the all important question of reform
and evolving governmental alterations
of momentous character; but what
form these changes are to take it is
impossible to ascertain with positive
ness. Presumably the council is dis
cussing means of bringing the govern
ment and people into closer touch
According 10 current reports the de
cision has been reached that the
Zemsky Sober would be an unsatis
factory agent for doing this, and thai
the ministers are now considering
other measures looking to the same
end. A denite announcement of theil
decision as to the nature of the pro
posed reforms is not expected fol
some time.

Fighting All Along the Line.

~ FNiOH5
Mukden, March Fighting is in
progress along the whole line, the
Japanese attacking everywhere. All
attacks were beaten back, and the
Russians made counter attacks at
many places. On the right flank the
Russians occupied the village of Boa

pu. causing heavy loss and great dis
order
The Russians have seized the head
Of the bridge across the Shakhe river
in the center of the Japanese lines,
assisted by artillery firing of particular
energy from Putiloff Hill and Nov
gorod HILL
The seizure of the railroad bridge
across the Shakhe river was the oc-
casion of a sharp combat. The Rus
SLAMS succeeded in surprising the Jap
anese bridge guards and, reinforced.
beat off all attempts of the Japanese
to regain possession of it.
The Japanese are using heavy siege
artillery in the bombardment of Putt
loft Hill and Novgorod Hill, and this
is believed to be preliminary to an at
tempt to storm them. The losses TO the
defending force are insignificant. The
roar of artillery firing is echoing un-
ceasingly from the mountains to the
