General Sakharoff reports, two of

one officer and twenty men were
wounded. On the same day, when the

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2. — Gen

WAR BULLETINS
Quite an agitation on their behali[
was got up by the Japanese newspapers,
in Tokio, who waited on the general
staff and pressed the claims on behalf
of their foreign colleagues on the offi
cials, offering to forego their prior
claims in the interests of the foreign
ers. • , "
Davis has a^hlgh opinion of the fight
ing Qualities of the Japanese, and as
he saw the fighting on the Yalu he
ought to know. Regarding the opera
tions of the Vladivostok squadron, he
says the Japanese Government has re
ceived information which goes to show
that the so-called Norwegian whalers
are acting as scouts for the Vladivostok
ships.
These whalers have been observed
several times cruising in parts of the
Sea of Japan, where no whales are
found, and their movements northward
and southward coincide strangely with
the movements of the squadron.
Several Tokio journals allude to the
matter and express the opinion that
their work may explain the safety with
which the squadron so far has eluded
pursuit. Some action will be taken by
the Government.
The transportation and commissariat
arrangements have been excellently
carried out, and practically the plan of
campaign has been followed without
modification, and eo far with complete
success.
The Empress saw nothing of the Rus
sian ships, although there was kept a
close lookout.
j '
Davis expressed the opinion that the
Japanese officials have entirely misun
derstood the status of the foreign war
correspondents, and is doubtful wheth
er those in Tokio will ever get to the
front, although when he left Tokio they
had been assured that they would leave
Bakan for Port Arthur on the 24th ult.
VICTORIA, B. C, Aug. 2.— Oscar
King Davis, the noted correspondent of
the San Francisco Call and the New
York Herald, arrived here on the Em
press of Japan this morning from the
Orient. Davis is among the more for
tunate of the foreign war correspond
ents, in that he saw a good deal of the
actual fighting and was not shut in
Tokio all the time awaiting the fulfill
ment of official promises. He is looking
in fine trim and says that he has had
some very interesting experiences.
Shantiakow is situated on the rail
road leading from Port Arthur to Kin
chou and is between Ingentzi Bay and
Victoria Bay, but is closer to the for
mer than to the latter. Roughly speak
ing, Shantiakow is about ten miles
from the actual fortnes3 of Port Ar
thur. It is a position of {,-reat natural
strength, commanding a broad plain
leading to Wuchiatun, another strong
position on hills about four miles from
the .fortress. ,
TOKIO, Aug. 2.— It is reported here
that after three days of desperate
fighting the Japanese have captured
Shantiakow, one of the important de
fenses of Port Arthur.

To deepen the mystery, she has pa

through them she had drawn an an

The Marine Hospital surgeon at

clares the woman is deranged. The
surgeon of the steamship which brought
her here asserts positively that she is
not. He talked with her on every day
of the voyage and on every subject
and found her perfectly rational. But
on the representation of the Marine
Hospital surgeon the immigration au
thorities refused to allow. the woman to
land and would have removed her to
Ellis Island had it not been for pro
tests of the steamship officers, who
said that the fair voyager was too deli

a lot of immigrants, and that, since she
had been barred from landinsr and
would have to return by the shiD that
brought her, they would care for her

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2.— It is
reported in well-informed circles that
Muravleff, the Minister of Justice,
will succeed Von Plehwe, " late Minis
ter of the Interior.
N. V. MUravieff, the Minister of Jus
tice, is 'a brother of the late Count
Muravleff. who, when Minister for
Foreign Affairs, died -suddenly on June
21, 1900. He was born in 1850. and,
with his brother, the late Minister of
Foreign Affairs, was greatly instru
mental in the transformation of the
Russian penal system and in utilizing
the vast resources of Siberia. The
Minister of Justice is a nephew of the
great Count Muravieff-Amurskij, the
hero of the Russo-Turkish war of
1828-29, and who in 1831-32 took a
prominent part in suppressing the
Polish insurrection.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
GENEVA. Aug. 2. — Russian police
have evidence, that the assassination
of Von Plehwe, Russian Minister of
the Interior, was planned in Geneva
by a central committee of the Dorje
vaya organization and that the death
of the Czar also was a part of the
plot.
Confederates of the assassin have
been traced to a villa close to the
French frontier, on Lake Leman,
where the details of the crime were
'arranged. The leader let it be sup
posed that he was a retired French
tradesman named Duval. The mem
bers of the committee approached the
villa in small boats disguised as fish
ermen, early in the morning. A high
wall about the place insured secrecy.
The Swiss and French police sus
pected that all was not right about the
villa and held it under surveillance.
The only trace of the Thea in the
maritime records available is that she
is of 934 tons register and that she Is a
German vessel which had been trading
In the China Sea. . .." -
The steamship Schinau, from Austra
lia for Yokohama, was inspected and
released. On July 25 the Thea, a Ger
man vesel of 934 tons register, "with a
full cargo of fish from America to Yo
kohama, was stopped. She was re
garded as a legal prize and her crew
was taken off and the vessel sunk
owing to the impossibility of bringing
her to a Russian port."
On July SO, near the northern coast, a
Japanese third-class cruiser and sev
eral tcrpedo-boats, taking the same
course as the Russians, were sighted,
while on the western coast near the
Tsugaru Straits a coast defense battle
ship hove into sight.
"All these ships," Admiral Jessen
says, "kept far astern of our cruisers,
and after two h/mrs they turned away.
The .Russian squadron suffered no loss
In men and no damage, and there was
no loss of life on the vessels sunk or
taken."
The news of the return of the Vlad
ivostok cruisers from their third suc
cessful raid considerably lessened the
feeling of despondency created by Gen
eral Kuropatkin's telegram to the Em
peror admitting the necessity of his
retreat. Vice Admiral Skrvdloff's re
port of the cruise points out the utter
inability of the Japanese warships to
follow up the three Russian cruisers.
The Japanese were apparently unable
to spare a single effective ship to cope
with them. The few antiquated ves
sels encountered by Rear Admiral Jes
sen were unable to give chase, and the
torpedo-sboats were shy In approaching
the Russians.
It is presumed that the steamship
Thea, although flying the German flag,
was chartered by an American firm.
In view of the fact that she sailed
with a cargo of canned fish, it is con
sidered not unlikely that, like the
Arabia, she sailed from Portland, Or.
Two Japanese schooners were sunk.
Then Admiral Jessen fell In in quick
succession with the British steamships
Arabia and Knight Commander. Of
the Arabia he says nothing new.
"The Knight Commander only stopped
after the fourth shot," the admiral re
ports. "Her cargo being railroad.ma
terial, undoubtedly contraband for the
belligerent party, and not being able
to bring her to the nearest Russian
port, owing to her not having enough
coal, without manifest danger to the
squadron, we sank the Knight Com
mander after taking off all her crew
and removing her papers."
Two more Japanese schooners laden
with salt were then sunk.
With the cruisers Rosslay, Gromobol
and Rurik, Admiral Jessen left Vladi
vostok on July 20. After sinking a
small Japanese vessel the cruisers held
up the British steamship Camara, but
as she had no cargo and "was not
caught In the act of carrying contra
band of war we were compelled to let
her go," says the dispatch.
A Japanese coasting steamship was
next met, but "as most of her fifty pas
sengers were women we determined to
release her."
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2.— In a
lengthy telegram to the Emperor, Vice
Admiral Skrydloff relates the doings of
the Vladivostok squadron under Rear
Admiral Jessen.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 2.— It is
sure that at present a battle is going
on for possession of the Liaoyang main
road. Kuropatkin himself is in the
midst of the lighting. It was stated to
day that the general staff had received
news that the commander in chief had
been wounded by a bullet in the arm.
Allowing tor the inevitable conflict in
names, the Japanese and Russian re
ports seem to agree on the main points
of the military developments up to
August 1, but both gtop short at their
interesting point, namely; regarding
what occurred on August 2, when it is
possible ft decisive struggle was pro
ceeding east and south of Liaoyang.
It is evident from Kuropatkin's dis
patches" and the Japanese reports that
the Russians abandoned Yangse Pass,
falling back upon Liandlansian, a
strong defensive position in the hills
twenty-four miles southeast of Liao
yang.
General Kuropatkin admits that there
were heavy losses along the Siamatsza-
Liaoyang road on July 31. The official
account is somewhat inconclusive, but
indicates that although the Russians
withdrew from their advanced posts
Kuropatkin hoped to be able to hold
his main positions, even in the face of
the superior Japanese force, and that
he evidently expected heavy fighting
along this line, probably at Anping.
This battle was practically proceeding
on August 2, although the dispatch re
ports that all was quiet up to noon of
August 1.
In the meantime a serious enveloping
movement of three Japanese divisions
was maturing around the Russian left
at Haicheng. where there was also
heavy fighting on July 31.

J TOKIO, Aug. 3, 10 a. m.— The Japa
nese defeated the Russians at Torau
cheng (Slmoucheng) and drove them
toward Haicheng in a sharp fight,
j which began last Saturday and ended
on Sunday. The Russians left 1500
dead on the field and lost six guns.
The Russians occupied a range of
high hills north of Tomucheng (Simou
cheng). which were strongly defended
with covered trenches, fortresses and
covered emplacements, which con
sumed mtrntha in constructing.
The Japanese seized a range of
heights to the southward on Saturday.
They began the attack at daylight on
Sunday. The Japanese left wins en
countered severe opposition. The Rus
sians were gradually reinforced, and
their artillery was increased to twen
ty-one {funs. The Japanese, who were
also reinforced, renewed the attack at
3 o'clock in the afternoon and drove
the Russians northward. The Jap
anese right, exposed to a severe ar
tillery fire, was forced to halt.
The Russians, who were reinforced,
assumed the offensive at 5:30 o'clock in
the evening, but were repulsed with a
heavy loss. The Russian artillery pre
vented the Japanese from pursuing
and during the night the Russians
withdrew toward Haicheng. The Jap
anese casualties were about 400.
General Kurokl has telegraphed that
j in the two days' fighting at Yanprtze

TOKIO, Aug. 2 (Noon).— General Ku
roki has administered a severe defeat
to the Russian forces which defended
the Russian east flank at Liaoyang,
winning separate actions at Yushu
likzu and at Yangse Pass. These two
places are twenty-six miles apart, but
the two actions were fought at the
same time. The Russians held strong
positions. The thermometer registered
more than 110 degrees Fahrenheit and
the soldiers suffered cruelly from heat
exhaustion.
At Yushulikzu the Russians had two
divisions of infantry and some artil
lery, and they resisted the Japanese
assaults vigorously.
Both attacks were begun at dawn
of Sunday. July 31. At Yushulikzu the
Japanese carried the Russian right and
left wings, but on account of 'the
strength of the main Russian position
they were unable then to press the at
tack. The two armies rested on Sun
day night, facing each other.
At dawn of Monday the Japanese re
sumed the attack and by noon they
had dislodged the enemy and driven
him four miles, to Laoholing.
At Yangse Pass also the Japanese
were successful. Their artillery opened
on the enemy and the infantry
moved forward from Makumeza. The
attack at this place was made at 1
o'clock on Sunday, and by nightfall the
Japanese were in possession of a ma
jority of the Russian positions, al
though the enemy had resisted with
determination.
The Japanese forces passed the night
in battle formation and another as
sault was made on Monday at dawn.
By 8 o'clock on Monday morning
Yangse Pass and the surrounding
heights had been captured.
General Kuroki explains the slow
ness of these actions by saying that
the difficult topography of the battle
fields made it imposible to secure good
artillery positions and that the great
heat fatigued his troops.
The Russian force at Yangse Pass
was estimated at two and one-half di
visions and four batteries of artillery.
The enemy retreated toward -/Tang
hoyen.
General Kuroki reports the capture
of some field guns, but the number Is
not given. The Japanese casualties
are being Investigated. /
