St. Petersburg, June 28. The long expected battle of the passes is on in full force, and the two armies operating in - Che mountains, that have been expected to come . to a grapple since the battle of Feng Huang Cheng, are today in heavy conflict. .. Reports received here' admit that the pressure baa' been- too' great for the Russian forces to withstand and that' they .are slowly retreating be fore Superior force?, baUlirjg as they go. For once the war office is free ly iBBuing its news and great ex citement is manifest here in , the city, where public opinion has ex pected a big battle for several days past. 7 Notwithstanding the fact that' the first news received is not of a reassuring character, the people seem in no wise doubtful as to the outcome and predict that the battle will end in a victory for the Rus sian forces. - General Kuropatkin reports from Liao Yang as follows: : - - "Yesterday the Japanese attack ed -our-' fercesecupying' Mbtiefi Ling, Feng Choulin and Talien passes. Our infantry and cavalry retreated, persuaded that the advan cing divisions of Japanese operat ing against each of the three passes was stronger than our own detach ments. - In the attack on the Talien pass, the Japanese guards, besides sever al other regiments, took part. The Japanese made a frontal and flank attack. - There Was a considerable force on both sides. : . 0- The Japanese occupied Feng Choulin and the Motien Ling pas ses on the morning of June 27, af ter having pushed back our advance, on the evening of June 26, to Talien pass. The Japanese continued to advance this morning against our position.- - - In the hgbt yesterday for some tune the attack afxhe Japanese in fantry brigade was repelled. Three battalioos engaged in a frontal at tack; but being menaced by other Japanese troops engaged in a flank movement our troops, retreated. Ke- connoiteriog' parties report that one portion of the Japanese army is to day moving to the . northeast with the intention of joining General Ku- rokrs forces. "All reports of the past few days state that the Japanese force against our Manchurian army consist -. of eight or nine infantry , divisions. Several brigades of reserve .troops also occupy a position in the fight ing lines." ! ,i ttjV A report is in circulation here this afternoon that General Kuro patkin lias been 'ordered to : retreat from his present position if possible. Much uneasiness is manifested be cause of the large body of Japanese that have surrounded Kuropatkin's force. . --; ; ... - : This rumored report is said to have emanated from one - high e nough in authority to Etamp it with all the marks of truth.- .While not an official report, it is looked upon by the higher or middle classes . as the equivalent of such," and much speculation is being indulged in as to the outcome of any attempt on the part of General Kuropatkin to escape without serious - loss, sur rounded as be is ny an immense army cf Japanese who are constant ly drawing their lines closer. Londcta, June 28. Japanese Min ister Hayashi this morning, issued the following official report of the fighting between the Russians and Japanese forces - which ' landed at Takushan: - "; "The Takushan -' army : after : 6ix hours severe flighting, June 27, oc cupied Fengshuilling, " 13 miles northwest of Siuyen. ..The enemy, consisting of five battalions of in fantry, two regiments of. cavalry, and a battery of 16 guns, fled in a somewhat disorderly fashion toward Tomu Caing andShimi Cheng.

Frank Gug- helmo, the young Italian saloon keeper, charged with the murder of lb-year. old freda : Uaracia, was brought into the state circuit court before Judge (Jlelanrt at9:dUo clock this morning fer trial, and the task of securing a jury was begun by the lawyers in the case, District - attor ney John Manning for the state, and Dan R. Murphy for the defense. - Xxuglielmo was pale but self-pos-Ee'ssed. He was clean-shaven and well-dressed. . He kept his eyes fix ed on the floor and eat throughout the proceedings almost motionless. Close behind him sat the mother, father and two young sisters of the girl he is accused of killing. All the parties to the case- Seemed to be entirely free from emotion as the examination of jurors went on, but Guglielmo became noticeably paler when the distriot attorney began dis cussing the death -sentence-with ju-j rors : who were -'aeked . concerning their preconceived ideas of capital punishment. , .. , , v Of the hrst iz men called into the jury box only three were accept ed, all tbe otners naving . nrmiy fixed opinions of the guilt , of the accused. .. AH of them had read the accounts in the newspapers and were satisfied that they had stated facts sufficient to warrant the con viction of the prisoner. Oat juror, a farmer residing some distance from this city,-stated that he was not a competent juror in this case, because he could not give an Italian a fair and impartial trial. The questions of Attorney Mur phj to the jurors tended to ascer tain clearly their, views of what constituted murder in the first de gree and whether they believed 1 verdict of guilty as charged in this case should be rendered if no pre meditation or . deliberation were proved. r , Objection was made by the dis trict attorney to some forms of questions put by Attorney Murphy as to what they should do should certain features in the case arise. : "The law defining: the qualifica tions of a juror,"" Eaid: Judge -Cle-land, "is this: If his mind is, by any preconceived opinion so fixed tbat ne cannot apply tbe law as given by the court to the facts as given by the evidence, and cannot render a verdict accordingly, then he should be excluded. If he can, he should be retained. . Nearly the entire day was con sumed in securing a jury. . ;Toio, June '3O. Tqe . Japanese arms have been, victorious , at 'Port Arthur. Possession has ' been se cured of ChikwansheD, . Cbitansan and Sochoctan pits, which; form : a part of the defenses of the.-beleag uered fortress. Particulars of the fighting are stow in arriving, ' Gen eral Oku holding his official ac count until the complete plans are carried out. From - unofficial ac counts, however, it is learned that the battle lasted from an early hour in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and even after the Russians had been driven out oi their works, they reformed and at tempted to retake the positions. The Japanese had been prepar ing for the attack for a week, and their scouts had penetrated to J the very edges of the forts The troops slept in their blankets to the east ward of tbe Russian position Satur day night,1 and at daybreak the or der to advance was given. . The Japanese were- formed in three iiwe;-while tbe-aftitiOTyhad post ed at right angles to the fort, so its fire would prove most effective. The mounted infantry and regular cav alry were posted west of Pintu, with orders to guard against any attempt ed flankioEr movement, and at the same time to be in a position to sup port tbe infantry. With the hrst taint light of dawn the guns of the Japanese opened on the Russians. The . fire was well sustained and very accurate, more than two-thirds of. the shells fired falling inside of ; .the . .Russian en trenchments, lbe Kussian garri sons were not backward in , reply ing, and their guns were served very rapidly, in fact, tbat many of the shells went wi,de of the mark. The Japanese infantry and the supporting columns moved forward about noon, the . officers exhorting the men to utilize every bit of cover. The fire from , the Russian position was steady, but failed to check, the attacking partiesTlie.latter made twovhaltto reform, and then swept up the ascent to So Cho Chan ' fort with -bayonets fixed." A", hand-to-band encounter followed, but the Russians were -outnumbered and were finally compelled to fall back. , The Japanese attack lost none of its fierceness until the triple-linked chain of entrenchments was taken. The cavalry and mounted infantry attempted to pursue the Russians, but the Utter again reformed and renewed the battle. The Japanese wete too much for the Russians, and the latter slowly retired, carry ing most of their wounded with them. Within So Cho San 40 dead Russians were found, as well as two dieabled rapid-firing guns and a quantity of rifles "and ammuni tion. The Japanese killed will reach 90, with twice, that number of wounded. ' It is understood that the next ob jective point of the Japanese is Iucningtz9, the key to the eastern defenses of Port Arthur, and its re duction is believed to be merely a matter of days. The news of the success of the Japanese arms is particularly pleas ing at this time, following as it does the Russian report that General Oku and his army had retired from Port Arthur's vicinity. This latter report has been ridi culed from the start by the officials of the general staff, who have point ed out that the eecond army had been following the precedent already well established of not making any move until every preliminary , had been attended to and success m Eured. - .

Tbe police force and a posse, which is increasing as the news "becomes known, are scouring the city in search of an unknown negro, who late last night criminally assaulted Mies Clara Weinbach, Is years old, after beating and forcing her escort, Harry Smith, to retire at t"he point of a revolver. The- outraged girl is in a serioup condition. Miss Weinbach and her compan ion were returning from one of the city parks, and while they were passing the Chandler-avenue school building, in the . fashionable por tion of tbe city, a negro sprang from hehind the corner of a build ing and pointed a revolver at Smith's head, muttering: - "Run, now, run for your life." Smith ran down the street to the police station, where he informed the officers. The entire police force and as many men as could be found returned to the scene of the assault and.after searching for some time found Miss Win bach lying in the scboolhouse yard in an uncon scious condition. ' She was taken to the hospital, where she is suffer ing from the effects of the shock. The district surrounding the scboolhouse was thoroughly search ed, without result. . Posses were sett in all directions and especial ly to Baptist town, where the bloody riots of last July occurred. As tbe news of the assault spread throughout tbe city hundreds of people joined in the search, and the police are making preparations to protect the af sailant if he is caught. There is considerable apprehension that a riot will follow the capture of the negro. .; Go to Blackledge's for window shades. INDIGESTION.
