THE MORNING OBEGOXlAT, THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1901. LANCESJN PUT Russians Strike Terror to Hearts of Enemy. SQUADRON CUT TO PIECES Riders- Are Pierced Through, and I heir Horses Wounded. HOT SKIRMISH AT VAFANGOW Japanese Used the Trick of Display ing Dummies, but the Rus clans Waste No Shots ' v' on Them. L.IAO TANG, May 30 (delayed in trans mission). The Japanese lost -200 men killed and a number of horses in the cent at Vafangow today. The Russians opened fire at 8 in the morning, and after two hours and a half long-range firing xne Japanese, under General Akkiama, prepared to charge and crush the force which had been harassing them for 21 aays. In the meantime. General Samsonott was approaching Vafangow with a strong force of cavalry. It was a sight worth seeing, when, at the word of com mand, the Russian squadrons formed and rushed like a whirlwind across the terribly cut-up country, clearing -awav all obstacles, the Japanese at the same time trotting along the frightful roads. Having passed the railroad station, the xroops came under the fire of the Jap anese machine guns, but withdrew with out suffering much loss. The Fourth and Sixth Companies of the Eighth Siberian Cossacks furiously charged the Japanese cavalry with lances, attacking both flanks. In a few minutes they literally cut the whole squadron into pieces. This was the first time the lances were used, and they struck terror Into the enemy. In some cases the lances pierced the riders through and wounded their horses. Some of the lances could not be withdrawn from the bodies into which they had en tered. The Japanese infantry, numbering four battalions, of 300 men to a company, and a squadron of cavalry, attempted to ad vance, but the Russian batteries opened fire, and soon the slope up which the enemy was advancing was covered with black spots, and the enemy was forced to scatter and retire. Some of the Jap anese cavalry were wonderfully dashing, charging -with shouts upon the Russians, who met and scattered them. A Cossack who had lost his lance and sword wrenched a sword from a Jap anese officer and cut off the officer's head. The Cossacks picked up boots which had been taken off by the Japanese In order to facilitate their flight, and flour ished them on tnelr lances as , trophies. The Japanese used the trick of display ing dummies, but the Cossacks, did not waste a shot on them. Wounded Russians Reach Mukden. 3IUKDEN, June L A hospital train ar rived last night with wounded from the fighting at Vagenfuchu, bringing three of ficers and 23 men. General Kuropatkln visited them, complimented them on their bravery, and awarded eight crosses of St. George. Four of those wounded at Va- fangow were left at Liao Yang in too serious a condition to be moved. Some of these have four to six bullet wounds. One of the wounded said: "These Japanese fight very well. Shoot ing is their strong point, but the Cossack lance charge completely surprised them. Many of the Japanese were ridden down. Others ceased firing and fled." Japanese agents are believed to be nego tiating with Chun Chu leaders with the object of employing them against the Russians. One Squadron Annihilated. ST. PETERSBURG, June 1. General Sakaroft has telegraphed as follows, under today's date, to the general staff: "According to reports, the fJapanese commander .In the action of May 30 near Vafangow had three battalions of Infantry in reserve. Our losses were 17 men killed and 23 men wounded and Lieutenant Meyer and another officer, whose name has not been ascertained, wounded. The Japanese losses were very considerable. One squad ron of the Thirteenth Japanese Cavalry. was annihilated In a hand-to-hand en counter, and another squadron which came to Its assistance, suffered great loss from the fire of our frontier guards and rifle men. "We captured 19 horses." Hero of the Fight. KAICHOU. Llao Tung. Peninsula, June 1. A Russian who was wounded In the fight near the station at Vagenfucfiu. Mav 30. says General Samsomoff attacked the Japan esse near the railroad a mile from Vagenfuchu station. A cornet of the frontier guards was the hero .of the fight. His sergeant was lying wounded, and a Japanese officer was about to ride over lilm when the cornet killed the offi cer, mounted his horse,- and placed the wounded man on his own charger. The Japanese cavalry engaged were the Thir teenth Regiment. Their horses were splendid animals. FEARS NO SUCH ATTACK. Russia Does Not Believe Army Is Headed for Northern Corea. ST. PETERSBURG, June 1. The War Office does not believe the report from Toklo that a Japanese division has em barked for Northern Corea to check an alleged advance of LJeutenant-General Unevltch's army. A high military offi cial points out that Llnevltch would havo had to march 300 miles over difficult roads and to assure supplies for that dis tance before he could get within striking reach of the Japanese army. The authority admits that such a task is impossible, and not worth attempting, since It would Imperil the Japanese sup plies in Manchuria, which are coming by sea. The Japanese are more likely to re inforce their armies In Southern Man churia or on the Liao Tung Peninsula, where it is believed they are concentrat ing every available man. The Admiralty attributes the failure to destroy the crippled cruiser Bogatyr to the absence of Japanese warships near Vladivostok. A private letter from Llao Yang, dated May 24. says General Kuropatkln then had 140.000 men ready to take the field. The War Office has received reports showing the continued desire of the Jap anese to screen the operations before Port Arthur. Thero Is not the slightest foundation for the report that the Russians will abandon their positions east of HaJ Cheng. General Samsomoff, who Is ope- rating south of Kai Chou, Is said to have a strong force of troops, and 13 likely to hras3 the Japanese outposts. As regards the operations north of Feng Wang Cheng, the Cossacks have re-' tired from Salmatsza with the additional loss of two officers and seven men wounded. Salmatsza Is now being held by a strong Japanese garrison. JAPANESE MINES EXPLODED. Russians Continue to Clear the Port Arthur Roadstead. 6T. PETERSBURG. June L The fol lowing dispatch from Viceroy Alexleff to the Emperor, dated May 21, has been re ceived here: "Rear-Admirals Wlttsoeft and Grlgoro vitch report that up to May 28- numerous Japanese mines had been discovered and exploded in the roadstead of Port Ar thur. The Japanese evidently have re placed the fireships which they formerly used, by mines sown by merchant steam ers m their service." The Emperor has received the following dispatch from General Kuropatkln, dated May 31: "All Is quiet in the direction of Feng "Wang Cheng. Siu Ten has not been occu pied by Japanese detachments. "On May 30, two camps of Japanese In fan try and 30 dragoons advanced along the Takushan road towards Onalassi for the purpose of turning the left flank of our outposts. Our scouts discovered the move ment and firing ensued, in the course of which one Cossack was wounded and one horse was killed. "The Japanese detachment, which our cavalry successfully engaged May 30, Is now stationed four versts from Vafangow, fortifying Its position. "There have been further Japanese ad vances from Saimatza toward Feng Chow Ung Pass on the Llao Yang road." PEACE RUMORS BOOM STOCKS. British Foreign Office and HayashI Both Term Them Groundless. LONDON, June 1. Rumors of mediation in the Japanese war caused a rise of per cent in. consols and a general upward tendency on the London Exchange this afternoon, but the rumors have found no confirmation in diplomatic circles. The Foreign Office characterizes the report that mediation Is pending In the lmmedi ate future as "rubbish." Baron Hayashi, who as Japan's senior Minister and foremost diplomatic repre sentative abroad, would be the first to hear of any such move, says: "Not the whisper of mediation has reached me. For us to stay our hands at this moment would be senseless folly. Russia appears to bo In a serious di lemma. She has. not enough men In the field to cope with our various points of attack. If she' sends reinforcements that General Kuropatkln so much needs, she cannot feed them. "I cannot credit the rumor in Rome of General Kuropatkln's defeat, although during the next few days news of a bat tle may come at any moment. "It seems evident that Kuropatkln in tends to fight at Liao Yang. I believe he has decided to do this not so much from a military point of view as because of the pressure from the court and ofH cers at St Petersburg. "About a month Is likely to elapse be fore any determined assault can be made on Port Arthur." JAPANESE ARE IN DANGER. Cossacks Are Likely to Swoop Down . Upon Won Son Garrison. NEW YORK. June 1. Fears are enter tained here for the safety of the Japanese garrison and settlement at won Son. as Russian cavalry Is reported south of Ham Heung, says aHerald dispatch from Seoul. Reinforcements are being sent to "Won Son from Ham Heung and Ping Yang. Reinforcements sent to the latter point and Anju have reduced the strength of tne local garrison to about 2000, which Is considered sufficient, as any Russian ap proach by way of the East Coast against Seoul would be speedily known through the numerous small Japanese squads lo cated in every village to the north and east. The squads also can be used to reinforce Seoul. No local disturbances are feared, the Corean court being dominated by Jap anese influence. Attempts to persuade the Emperor to remove the residents to the East Palace are thus far futile. Memories of the riots of 1S91 are still strong In the imperial mind. ATTACK ON PORT ARTHUR. Japanese Land Campaign Reported to Have Been Begun. INDIANAPOLIS, June L A special cable from the staff correspondent of the Indianapolis News, at Chefoo, dated June 1, says: "The Japanese land attack on Port Ar thur was begun yesterday morning. Rus sian forces that were driven southward from Dalny and Klnchou by the Japanese are assisting the garrison at Port Arthur, and the Russian navy has Joined In the movement to repulse the enemy. "There may be several days of skirmish ing and outpost work before the Russian city Is taken, but it is the opinion of refugees who havo arrived here from the besieged "Gibraltar," that the Russians eventually must succumb to overwhelm ing numbers. "Dalny, Klnchou. Tallenwan and Nan shan have already fallen before the Jap anese." WILL GIVE JAPAN LARGE SUM. New York Merchant Is Taking $1, 200,000 Home In a Valise. CHICAGO. June L I to Himatsu. a Japanese merchant of New York, has ar rived In Chicago with a common split leather valise containing 51,200,000 In United States money, which he will give to the Mikado to help defeat Russia. The cash is all In United States gold notes and bank bills. The money was deposited here with a trust company on the advice of the local Japanese Consul. Ito Himatsu expects to sail from San Francisco on June 1L He Is a recog nized authority In America on Japanese art, and his discourses for the last five years have been the suDject of many written disquisitions on the Influence of Japanese arts and Japanese ideals upon modern aesthetlclsm. Ito Himatsu Is known In New York as a dealer in ob jects of Japanese art. JAPANESE HAVE SPECIAL GUN Light Machine Weapon Was Invented When War Appeared Probable. VICTORIA, B. C, June L An ex-Cap-taln of Japanese artillery, bound for Lon don, England, who arrived here on the Empress of Japan last night, on official business, said Japanese military chiefs made preparations some years ago for dealing with the peculiar fighting tactics of the Cossacks. A special light machine gun. Invented by a Japanese engineer. Is carried on a pony accompanying each de tachment. It has a greater range than the Nordenfeldt and can be operated by four men. It Is with these deadly weapons that the Japanese are wiping out the Cos sack sotnias wherever they meet them. He says the Japanese artillery proficiency was acquired In long secret practice with the Arlsaka gun. at all ranges and regard less of cost, before the war.

FEAST AROUSES ALL Banqueters Break Glasses for Japanese Navy, PU LUN IS GUEST OF HONOR American Asiatic Society Gives - a Banquet In New York, at Which the Wildest En thusiasm Prevails. NEW YORK, June L At the dinner, of the American-Asiatic Association at Sherry's tonight, at which Prince Pu Lun was the guest of honor, the announcement was made that China has become a signa tory to the Geneva Convention. In response to an address of welcome, Prince Pu Lun spoke In his native tongue. his address being interpreted by his secre tary. In responding to the toast, "The Com mon Interest of China and the United States," Sir Tung Liang Cheng said In part: "No American now asks what Interest the United States has in the Panama CanaL It is taken for granted that the construction of such a canal Is necessary. not only to the National welfare of the United States, but also to the cause of civilization. It will be another potent tie that draws the East nearer to the West. "Even now the United States cannot view with indifference the progress of events that are taking place in China. The unsettled condition of Manchuria has seri ously affected the manufacture of cotton goods in the Southern States. Western farmers are reaping the benefits of a growing demand for American wheat and flour by the Chinese. The commerce be tween the two countries, however, is still in its Infancy. It admits of an almost Indefinite expansion. It should be the settled policy of both governments to foster commercial intercourse between the two countries by breaking down all bar riers, natural or artificial, as well as by opening new markets." After General Corbln had spoken In praise of the treatment the Army had re ceived at the hands of the Chinese In Pekln, Toastmaster John Ford aroused the wildest enthusiasm of the evening by toasting the Japanese navy. Half of the diners had gone, but Ihose who remained cheered and cheered again and broke their glasses on the floor after drinking the toast. Russian Officers Desperately Gloomy TIENTSIN, June 1. A courier who has arrivea nere irom 2im unwang says: "While It! is known that the Russians received reports from Mukden last night giving the losses sustained by them during the fight at Klnchou and Nanshan Hill and the conditions prevailing, they will not talk on the subject. The officers are desperately gloomy. The press bulle tin giving the news of the fighting on the Kwang Tung Peninsula, with the com ments on the victory of the Jananssp. was suppressed on its arrival, but was re leased wnen tne Russians learned that two copies of it were In possession of Englishmen and were being shown to. oth er people. The Tientsin newspapers which reached NIu Chwang last night were eagerly snapped up. Knots of offi cers Stood In the streets and In Jtnrl nhniif the club eagerly scanning the papers. "Six hundred junkloads of supplies, mostly beans and trrln. ntirchnsM at Jfn Chwang. were shirked to Linn Tanir wi. terday. These were the same supplies the Russians ordered from the ChlriPRA nto- rlor at the time of the second evacuation scare, saying the Japanese would confis cate or Durn tnem. Tne Russians were compelled to pay four times the prices de manded a month ago. "The Russians are again meddling with the telegraph offices between Nlu Chwang and Shan Hal Kwan." Russians Find Food Scarce. SEOUL, June L The Russian bands scattered throughout Ham Heung Province are encountering commissariat difficulties. The countryside is lily sup plied with food and forage, ow ing to the bad crops of the past two years. Since the first Russian raid there has been no trade at Yensan and Song jln, and consequently no Importation of foodstuffs. The Russian movements in Corea caused widespread starvation, and they are now experiencing the same diffi culties In obtaining food. A detachment of 20 cossacks. with two Corean inter preters, yesterday ordered the Governor of Ham Heung to arrange for suitable supplies. WOMAN GAGGED AND BEATEN. Mysterious Assault Committed on a Spokane Woman. SPOKANE, Wash.. June L (Special.) Brutally beaten, bound and gagged by a fiend, Mrs. Katie O'Connor, a frail woman advanced In years, lies at the hospital hovering between life and death. The cir cumstances surrounding the assault make up a mystery. Mrs. O'Connor was found In a semiconscious condition on the north end of the Division-street bridge tonight. The gag conslted of a brown rubber ball wound over with a dirty, greasy rag, which had been forced Into her mouth ,and tied tightly around her head. The officers were unable to take off the gag until they cut away a portion of the woman's hair. When the gag was re moved Mrs. O'Connor was only able to say that she had been assaulted and beaten by a man who lived in a shack next to the one she occupied. She did not know the name of the man, nor could she give any reason for the assault. To all appearances no criminal assault was attempted, and the woman's story that the motive was robbery Is discredited by the police, as she Is In almost destitute circumstances. Buried Alive in Cellar. POMEROY. Wash., June 1. (Special.) Warren McDonald, a 16-year-old DOy. was killed this morning at the ranch of Will iam McQueen, on Upper Deadman. by a dugout cellar caving In on him and smoth ering him to death. The dugout was tim bered overhead, and the boy was engaged In making further excavations in the bank when in some unaccountable way the tim ber and earth from the top fell In on him. Nobody was at hand to relieve the im prisoned boy except McQueen's wife, who ran to a neighbor for assistance, and by the time this came the boy was dead. Presbyterian Assembly Ends.

Railroad to RIparia or Celilo Canal Would Form Bond of Wedlock, but Seattle Is Hot Rival. ' "For years the Lewiston country has been courting Portland," said C. F. Allen, a manufacturer and banker of Idaho, yesterday, "but the wedding has not yet taken place. What we want Is a rail con nection between our country and the Ore gon metropolis." 3Ir.. Allen Is president of the First Na tional Bank of Clarkston, Wash., and is also president of the Valley Lumbering & Manufacturing Company. Clarkston is a town of 2500 inhabitants situated Just across the river from Lewiston. Mr. Allen is in Portland buying machinery and this reminded him to make a protest. "Five years ago," said he, "I was build ing a factory in Idaho and needed $15,000 worth of machinery. After a while I purchased it at Seattle, and later sonle Portland dealers asked me why I had not bought it here. The reason was that the Puget Sound houses had their adver tising matter and catalogues all through Idaho and their traveling representatives Siunted me up. I never heard of or from a Portland firm in this connection." An open river is the ultlmathule of Mr. Allen's hope. But he expects to have to. wait many a long moon before the steam boats run through to Lewiston from Portland. "The Celilo Canal will help us greatly," said Mr. Allen, "but I think the RIparia Railroad will be built before the rii'er Is open all the way to my home. Of course the Northern Pacific, which now carries all our trade to Spokane and Seattle, will oppose the building by the O.- K. & N. of this CS-mlle road, which would divert the travel to Portland. SU11 public- senti ment is growing on this point and It is the all-powerful element In the conduct of this country's affairs. I trust that the Portland commercial Interests will not let tho question sleep." Mr. Allen went on to explain the ab surdity of the transportation conditions existing at Lewiston. "The distance to Seattle Is longer by 300 and odd miles than the distance to Portland. The road to Seattle Is up grade and crosses the Cascade mountains. The grade to Portland Is down the river all the way. And yet I can leave Lewiston at S o'clock In the evening and get into Seattle about the same time as I can reach Portland. Isn't this wrong? Doesn't it operate to the disadvantage of Portland's commercial Interests?" As an aid to obtaining an open river. which work must be done by the Gov ernment, Mr. Allen suggests that every business man In Portland who is not a native of Oregon interest the Congres sional Representatives of the state he came from In the matter. I have done this with the Senators and Representatives of Wisconsin, where I lived for many years," said Mr. Allen. "I have shown them the tremendous com mercial Importance of a great Inland waterway, and whenever the question Is brought up In Congress, I think you will find that the support of Wisconsin's Rep resentatives will be given to the project Seattle and Spokane, of course,, have al ways opposed It and always will."

"Mac" received a round of ap plause for his spectacular feat. There were four Seals thrown out at plate yesterday, and one came about In an un usual way. In the fourth Inning Hlldebrand smashed a single Into right field, and when the ball went over Marty Murphy's head he tossed up his big glove and hit It, which deflected the course of the ball downward. Phil Knell, who was on second, tried to score on the single, but McCreedle scooped up the ball and winged him out. Had not Murphy's glove Intercepted the course of the ball it Is very doubtful If McCreedle would have retired the runner. "When I was play ing at Omaha a couple of years ago I saw a play something like that," said Bert Jones. "Buckley, the old National League catcher, was playing first base fpr Omaha, and the ball was hit over hl3 head. He threw up his big mlt and the ball stuck In the cav ity, and it robbed the runner of a hit. The question In my mind is, is not Murphy en titled to an assist?. I don't think McCreedle would have thrown Knell out had not Mur phy changed the course of the ball with his glove." Washougai Store Attached. VANCOUVER, Wash., June l.-(Spe-clal.)
