"A hattlo is proceeding 25 miles from
here.
"Numbers of wounded are being

Japanese Attacked Near Mo Tien Pass
Are Reinforced.
GENERAL. KUROKI'S HEADQUAR
TERS IN FIELD, via Fusan. July 6. On
July 4, two battalions of Russians at
tempted to break through, the Japanese
-outposts at the northern entrance of Mo
Tien Pass. Before daylight, they sur
rounded an outpost of SO men at the foot
of a hill and charged the trench above.
A bloody encounter with bayonets, last
ing a quarter of an hour, ensued. The
Russians attacked the trench three times,
but were driven up the valley by a Jap
anese reinforcement, leaving many dead
and wounded. Another survivor saw 50
lying in front of the trench.
RUSSIANS INFLICT HEAVY LOSS
Engagement at Ta Tche Kiao Is Dis
astrous to the Japanese.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 6. The Peter
bourgsky Loutsk this evening publishes a
dibpatch from Liao Yang announcing that
an engagement has occurred at Ta Tche
Kiao, during which Russian cavalry,
under General Samsonoff, supported by a
battery of horse artillery, dislodged the
Japanese force from the heights in the
lace of a heavy machine gun and mus
ketry fire. The Russians, it adds, pursued
the Japanese and Inflicted heavy loss
uyon them.
JAPANESE WERE SURROUNDED
Kuroki Gives an Account of Engage
ment Near Mo Tien Pass.
LONDON, July 7. The Tokio corre
spondent of the Daily Telegraph, In a
dispatch dated July 6, gives General Ku
roki's account of the fight near Mo Tien
Pass, reported In the Associated Press
dispatches. General Kuroki's account is
as follows:
"At 4 o'clock on the morning of July 4,
a few Russians approached near our
pickets posted one and one-half miles
nothwest of Mo Tien Pass. They were
followed immediately by one company
which attacked. Then from the northern
heights the enemy brought down another
company, thus surrounding us.
"The picket commander despatched his
main force toward the Southern hills, re
taining only a small force. Our troops
were fiercely engaged In a close encount
er with the enemy and forced a passage
through the Russian line, while our out
posts, which had been the first alarmed,
attacked the enemy's flank.
"A desperate fight ensued, which re
sulted in the enemy retiring, pursued by
our main outposts, to Chen Chla Poatze
and Tawan.
"The enemy also attacked our outposts
west of Shiakaolln at about the same
time, but was Immediately repulsed.
"Our total casualties were 19 men
killed and two officers and 36 men wound
ed. The enemy left on the field 53 men
killed and 40 wounded."
Desperate Hand-to-Hand Affair.
TOKIO, July 6. Supplemental dis
patches indicate that the fight at Mo Tien
Lin Pass on July 4 was a desperate hand-lo-hand
affair. A majority of the Jap
anese injured were wounded by bayonets.
The Russians surrounded the outposts of
the Japanese, who fought until relief
dame. The Russians left 53 dead and 40
wounded upon the field. The Japanese
lost 19 killed, and 39 wounded. It is be
lieved that the Russians sustained greater
losses during the pursuit than In the action.
JAPANESE PUZZLE RUSSIANS.
They Appear to Be Trying to Enter
by All Doors.
LIAO TANG, July 6. Reports have been
received here of the appearance of Jap
anese outposts on the roads leading to
Mukden. A company of Japanese Infantry
scouts was seen near Liao Tishan.
On the other hand, the Japanese have
withdrawn from the passes taken June 26
and 27, and their advance from Lien Shan
Kwan has ceased.
The Russian Eastern corps has moved
forward to Khawan and Hosamn, which
the Russians had evacuated and reoccu
pled. The tactics of the Japanese are diffi
cult to understand. They seem to be try
ing to enter by all doors. Probably the
armies commanded by Generals Kuroki
and Oku are combining to operate against
Ta Tche Kiao and Halcheng In order to
gain possession of the railroad and enable
them to advance to Liao Tang.

ADMIRAL TOGO AGAIN FOILED.
Russians Say He Lost Three of Four
Boats Sent Into Port Arthur.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 6. A few
"Slights ago Admiral Togo attempted to
repeat the Japanese exploit with torpedo-boats
at Wei Hal Wei, during the
Chinese-Japanese war, by sending torpe-doboat-destroyers
Into the harbor of Port
r Arthur for the purpose of sinking ships
at their anchorage, but the attempt ended
In disastrous failure. Four torpedoboat
destroyers succeeded. In creeping into the
. harbor which was not protected by
"booms, but only one escaped. Two were
sunlr by the shore batteries and one was
crippled.
The reckless bravery of the Japanese in
going to almost certain destruction ex
cites nothing but admiration here. The
channel at Port Arthur is so strewn with
greeks that evidently it was regarded as

unnecessary to use a boom. On account
of the difficulty of getting into the harbor,
the feat Is considered in naval circles to
be fully as daring as that of the Japanese
at Wei Hal Wei, where Japanese torpedo
boats, In a storm, and covered with Ice,
were jumped over the booms protecting
the harbor and destroyed Chinese war
ships. So far as known the Japanese
torpedoboat-destroyers did not even suc
ceed In launching torpedoes.
The exact date of the attack Is not as
certained, but.lt is said to have occurred
Saturday. No further details are ob
tainable Though it Is believed other de
stroyers participated In the attack, only
four succeeded In getting in. The method
whereby this Information reached the au
thorities is not disclosed.
A dispatch received here from Vladivo
stok this morning does not mention the
Russian squadron.
The Admiralty has no confirmation of
the report from Liao Yang of an engage
ment between the Vladivostok squadron
and Japanese warships off Gensan.
There Is good reason to believe that the
Russian squadron Is safe back in port.
(It was announced from Toklo July 3
that a belated report from Admiral Togo
recorded a desperate and successful tor
pedo attack at the entrance of Port Ar
thur during the night of June 27, in which
a Russian guardshlp and a Russian torpedo-boat
destroyer were sunk.)
Relatives Hear, From Prisoners.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 6. Informa
tion for the relatives of Japanese pris
oners Is being forwarded through the
American Embassy to the Jajaneso Min
ister at Berlin. Since the Inauguration
of the prisoners' bureau regular reports
have been made.
The British gunboat Espiegle has ar
rived at Nlu Chwang, but the entrance Is
mined and she was unable to enter the
mouth of the river.
On her personal account the Empress,
since "the opening of the war, has sent
10.000 packages, containing coffee, tea, to
bacco, etc, to the officers and 300,000
packages to the men In the Far East.
There is no information here confirm
ing the reports from Toklo and Nlu
Chwang that the Japanese are north of
Kai Chou.

TURKISH FORTS' FIRE ON SHIPS
Russian Vessels Are Stopped With
out Warning but Soon Proceed.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 6. It trans
pires that the Russian volunteer fleet
steamer St. Petersburg, which passed
through the Bosphorus from the Black
Sea this morning In company with the
Sevastopol, the latter flying the Red Cross
flag and with her hull painted white, was
stopped In the Bosphorus by blank shots
from the Turkish forts, fired without pre
vious warning.
The Incident threatened to cause fric
tion, but after a delay af several hours.
In which explanations were exchanged
between the Russian Ambassador and the
Porte, the vessel was then allowed to
proceed. Vladivostok being her declared
destination.
Russia Calls Out Reserves.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 6. All remain
ing naval reservists in governments of
European Russia, with the exception of
Orenburg and Finland, have been called
out by imperial ukase. These are in
tended to make up full complement of re
serves at the Baltic naval ports. The
naval reservists In some districts have
been called out and ordered to Sebastopol.
Believe Rain Will Cause Delay.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 6. Military
critics generally take the view that
serious military operations in South
ern Manchuria are over until the rainy
season has ended, and that in the mean
time the Japanese will devote them
selves to the scene of Port Arthur.
The army organ marvels at the lack
of decislonon the part' of Generals'Ku-
rokl and Oku, expressing the belief that
this may account for the fact that
forces landing at Port Dalny have been
taken from the armies In Manchuria.
An imperial ukase has been Issued
calling 447,000 recruits to colors this
year. This, on account of the war, is
double the usual number.
The Russian press generally com
mends the appointment of Prince Oben
lenskl as Governor-General of Finland,
and counsels firmness but moderation.
Believes England Fails to See Danger
ST. PETERSBURG, July 6. Recurring
to the offer of Great Britain to protect
the Russian sealing interests off Kam
chatka during the war, the Novoe Vrem
ya says:
"Russia wishes to remain at peace with
all the nations, and certainly has no wish
to exclude England from that footing.
"A little remarkable Is the overture of
peace, coming from England just when
she Is trying to conquer Thibet In order
to protect the interests of India against
Russia. England seems to have failed
to see the real danger that would threaten
her Indian Empire If her ally (Japan)
triumphed in the Far East."
Flood Makes River a Defense.
LIAO TUNG, Tuesday, July 5 (delayed
In transmission). The heavy rains which

NEW YORK, July 6. A cable from
Toklo states that the British steamer

VLADIVOSTOK, July 5 (Delayed In
