Llaoyang, July 5.Seeing thb im
possibility of bringing about a decisive
battle in consequen ce of the retire
ment of the Japanese a nd the heavy
rains General Kuropatkin, accom
panied by the military attaches, is re
turning to Haicheng. Both combatants
are apparently inactive. The Japanese
have retired to the sandy part of the
country to await better weather. The
Russians have reoccupiod their old
positions thirty miles eastward of Liao
yang. The two armies are now bivou
acked on either si (to of Dalin .pass,
which cannot be said to be an effective
occupation for either army, as the deep

The Russian troops are displaying
splendid spirit in spite of terrible
hardships. There is not a dry spot for
them to camp on and the troops are
often obliged to pass twelve hours in
the rain before they can prepaie soup'
with which to warm themselves owing
to the difficulty experienced.in kindling
fires.
The Russians are showing great con

with them a nd paying them good
wages and high prices for goods sup

DENIED BY GENERAL OKU.
Answers Charges of Cruelty Preferred
by Russians.
Tokio, July 5.General Oku has for
warded a detailed repo rt to the impe
rial headquarters answering cha.ms
preferred by the Russi an authorities
that the Japanese troops were respon
sible for atrocities committ ed on i he
field during the engagement at Wu
fangtien, preceding the battle of V'a-
faugow (Telissu). says the charges
are totally unfounded b*l, on the con
trary^ that he had proofs that the
wounded Russian prisoners highly ap
preciated the humane treatment -they
a nd their comrades had received from
the Japanese. It is the Russians, he
declared, that have cruelly mutilated
the Japanese who fell into their hands
wounded. General' Oku then makes
charges:

BRYAN TALKS ON THE OUTLOOK.
Nebraslcan Sees Little Hope for Judge
Parker.
St. Louis, July 5.William Jennings
Bryan arrived at the Jefferson hoi el
shortly before noon, a nd from the mo
ment that he set foot in the hotel he
was an exceedingly busy man, his
callers being so many that he found it
difficult to obtain time for meals.
On the subject of tlu- platform Mr.
Bryan was noncommittal. "I have
hea rd talk,'-' he said, "of a gold plank
In the. platform. I am opposed to such
thing and I will not stand for it."
Regarding the presidential candi
date s. Mr. Bryan said:
"After conferences with a number of
delegates from various sections I am
satisfied that the opposition to Judge
Parker is sufficient to make his nom
nation highly improbable, if not im
possible. There has been no concen
tration upon any anti-Parker candi
date, but, two arguments are having
weight with the delegates. Among
the radical Democrats the feeling is
that the party nulst not be surrendered
into the hands of Wall street. The
influences back of the Parker candi
dacy are so intimately associated with
the trusts and great corporations that
the Democratic party..could not appeal
to the masses. The party cannot af
ford to entrust its future to the men
who were responsible for the party's
defeat in Ifino."
The second argument, Mr. Bryan
said, was that Judge Parker could not
winhe was a weak candidate.
