ST. PETERSBURG. May 2L Tho gov
ernment this evening received news con
firmatory of the rumors In circulation here
that General Stoessel has made a success
ful sortie from Port Arthur, resulting In
the defeat of the Japanese, -with the Iobs
of more than 1000 killed or wounded. The
Russian losses were 116 killed or wounded.
The movement was carried out by a
combination with a train bringing In war
munitions and supplies and General Stoes
sel's force, communication being main
tained by wireless telegraphy. The Jap
anese barred the route between the train
and General Stoessel's Jtorce, whereupon
the Russians attacked and routed the
Japanese. After the engagement General
Stoessel's force, together with the train,
returned to Port Arthur.
The current accounts of the Port Ar
thur sortie are somewhat, conflicting, and
there is some doubt as to whether the
version mentioning the train is correct.
But the operation is described as having
been brllllantl carried out by the Rus
sians. General Stoessel, It is sald, made a new
distribution of his guns before taking
part in the sortie.
The Russian troops fought with great
braverr, breaking the Japanese line and
carrying the enemy for a considerable
distance.
COSSACKS LOOT THE TOWN.
Japanese Consul Ateo Reports Other
Outrages at Kan Kow.
SEOUL, May 20 (Delay in transmis
sion.) The Japanese Consul at Gensan
reports that about 300 Russians occupied
Kan Kow (Ham Heung), 40 miles north
of Gensan, May 13, with the usual stories
of looting and rape by the Cossacks,
The main body of 3000 men is said to be
following the force which occupied Kan
Kow. I
There is no teiegrapn commnmcauun
north of Gensan. The Consul there be
lieves that part of the forcn which re
cently attacked Anju i retreating from
Nln Yeng. It la considered possible that
the Cossacks have had a base at Kyong
Song for weeks past, v
The Gensan garrison, which consists of
a battalion of In'artrj. will not take the
Initiative, but wfl' tit an attack, which
is not expected now
The Japanese antl'iritles are inclined to
ridicule the Rusd"Ui movements on the
east coast, and wish for the advance of
a larger column making It worth while
to cut it off. Ttio only sufferers, it is
pointed out, are thr Coreans.
The Mitsui Company has shipped last

The Jnine -'-cure "a five-years' con
tract JAPANESE ADVANCE ARRESTED
Russian Losses In the Battle of Kin
Chou Were 160.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 21. The
genera staff has received a message
from Stoessel, giving his account of the
fight north of Kin Chou, Monday last.
Three Russian regiments were at
tacked by two Japanese divisions with
four batteries of artillery. The Rus
sians lost 160 in killed and wounded,
including an officer killed and Brigadier-General
Nadlen slightly wounded.
The Japanese looses are not known, but
it is believed they were heavy.
The enemy's advance on Kin Chou
was arrested. The general staff ascer
tains that this attack on the Russian
troops was arranged to take place
simultaneously with n. landing of Jap
anese troops In Kerr Bay. which was
unsuccessful, owing to a number of
Russian mines there. The general
staff expects to hear of another stub
born fight at Kin Chou. The landing
of a Japanese force to flank Kin Chou
will be exceedingly difficult, and the
waters of Tallen Wan Bay are too
shallow to permit a debarkation of
troops.
The general Btaff says the whole re
gion northwest of Feng Wang Cheng
is clear of Japanese, and that rein
forcements are daily arriving at Liao
Yang.
The statement from Ntu Chwang that
there is telegraphic communication be
tween that town and Port Arthur is
not belleVed by the general staff to be
correct. All messages from Port Ar
thur are brought north by runner.
COSSACKS ATTACK COREANS.

6E0TJL. May ZL The Japanese
Consul at Gensan reports that the
first collision between Russian and
Corean troops has taken place at Kan
Kow (Ham Heung), the recent center
of the Northern Tong Hak disturb
ances. Cossacks attacked the so-called
city castle at 7 o'clock in the evening
of May 19, and exchanged shots for
two hours with the Corean garrison of
300 men, who lost one man killed. The
Russians are supposed to have retired
toward the northwest. Natives report
that several of the Russians were
wounded.
Telegraphic communication has now
h)n established to a point SO miles
north of Gensan.
LURING THE RUSSIANS.
Japanese Want to Get Them North,
So as to Attack Port Arthur.
NIU CHWANG, My 20. (Friday, mid
night, delayed in transmission.) The offi
cials have not received any further in
formation in regard to the fighting which
resulted in the retreat of the Japanese on
Feng Wang Cheng, but there is good au-
thoritv for saving tnat ine japttueao
movements In the direction of Liao Tangj
and Hal Cheng were for the purpose of
causing the Russians In this vicinity to
move northward, thus giving the Japa
nese an opportunity to complete their
preparations to capture Port Arthur.
When the Japanese begin a determined
movement in this vicinity it will be from
Peng "Wang Cheng and Niu Chwang. They
figure that it 3oes not matter what may
be the fate of the Talu army if they can
continue to control the sea and Port
Arthur.
The Japanese are still fortifying the
hills on the neck of land between Tallen
Wan and .Kin Chou Bays. Many rapid
fire guns protected by sandbags have
been mounted there, with the object of re
sisting a sortie of the beleaguered garri
son. A spy set fire to the woodowork of the
water tanks of the local railroad station
this afternoon. It is believed this was a
part of a plot to injure the railroad.
MOVEMENTS OF JAPANESE.
Russian Spies Observe Them Along
the Feng Wang Cheng Road.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 2L The gen
eral staff has received from lieutenant
General Sakharoff, under date of today,
the following advices:
"During the last few days our cavalry
has discovered movements of Japanese
detachments on the Liao Tang main road
northeast of Peng Wang Cheng toward
Chanintsa and beyond. Altogether more
than a regiment has passed In this direc
tion with artillery. On the main road from
Xiao Tang to Sallnajan are a battalion
of infantry and a regiment of cavalry,
their advance guards being In the Pass of
CLangsalin. To the northwest the Japan
ese patrols have penetrated as far as the
village of Chinchlnsa, 80 miles from Feng
Wang Cheng. The horses of the cavalry
and the Japanese guards and the Infantry
of the lines are much exhausted.
"A detachment of Japanese, consisting
of two squadrons of horses and three
companies of Infantry appeared in the
village of Zudlaputse, in the valley of the
Lagogouk River, 11 miles northeast of
Salitszalpudia, and a squadron of Japan
ese cavalry advanced from Siaskwanhe
by the high road. Reconnaissances by our
Infantry and cavalry show that Japanese
guards and cavalry are operating in the
valley of the Lagogouk River and along
tho Feng Wang Cheng road."
COSSACKS NEARLY AMBUSHED
Pursuit of Japanese Is Stopped Just
In the Nick of Time.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 2L The Czar
has received the following dispatch from
General Kuropatkin under date of May 20:
The reconnaissance of May 19 failed to
show any sign of the enemy In the valleys
of the Sedzyk River and of the Unzlag
River, a tributary, as far as the village
of DeoiQuteldzkou, on the main road from
Sluyen to Feng Wang Cheng.
"A detachment of the Japanese vanguard
numbering 300 men occupied tbe-village of
Deopudza, on the same road. A Japanese
battalion was posted five miles beyond
Slaskhuangkl, and at least a division, in
cluding guard regiments, was stationed
five kilometres further on toward Kha
balln. "A body of Cossacks on May 19 encoun
tered three troops of Japanese cavalry
near the village of Pipouza, H miles south
west of Feng Wang Cheng. The Cossacks
Attacked, and pursued the Japanese to
Pipouza," where they encountered some
Japanese infantry, who had prepared an
ambush, which, however, was discovered
in time. The Cossacks lost two men
wounded, one horse killed and two horses
wounded.
"No trace of the enemy was found in
the mountains between Kaichau and Slu
Yen.
JAPANESE CAPTURE KAI CHOU
Advance of Russians From Niu
Chwang Direction Also Prevented.
TOKIO. May 21. Although it has not
been officially reported, it is said on
good authority vthat the Japanese forces
have captured Kai Chou, driving the
Russians back to Tashl Chi in the di
rection of Niu Chwang, and preventing
the advance of the Russian troops at
Niu Chwang in the direction of Kai
Chou.
The bombardment by the Japanese in
the -vicinity of Kai Chou recently was
probably in preparation for the land
ing of forces in the northwest corner
of the Liao Tung Peninsula for the
purpose of capturing Niu Chwang and
co-operating with the other armies in
the march on Liao Yang. Probably a
small Japanese force has been landed
at Kin Chou 'Bay.
Takushan, where Japanese forces
were landed May 19, Is at the mouth of
Dayan River, west of their column.
JAPANESE SUSPEND ADVANCE
Russians Expect the Delay to Be of
Great Advantage.
MUKDEN, May 30. The main body of
the Japanese forces, estimated at 80,000
men. remains south of the Russian troops
who are coverlnf Liao Yang. They ap
parently have suspended their advance.
This inaction caused surprise and some
satisfaction, as every day's postponement
of a decisive engagement is considered fa
vorable for the Russians, who are dally
increasing their forces, and are enabled
by the delay to strengthen their positions.
It is supposed that the recent rains ham
pered the movement of the Japanese ar
tillery and compelled a temporary halt.
Poor Rice Causes an Epidemic.
LIAO TUNG. May 20 (delayed in
transmission). Information brought
to headquarters indicates that the Jap
anese troops are suffering from a ter
rible epidemic of beriberi, due to the

tempt to float the Russian cruiser
Variag, sunk off Chemulpo, Corca, at
the outbreak of the war.
It Is announcod that numerous
changes are Impending among tho
commanders of the vessels at Port Ar
thur. The "Chinese report that many bodies
of Japanese sailors are coming ashore

CZAR VISITS MOSCOW TROOPS
Emperor Is Cordially Received at Last
Stop on 2000-Mife Journey.
MOSCOW, May ZL The Czar's 2000-mile
journey through Southern Russia ended
at Moscow this afternoon with a review
of several battalions.
The Czar received the news of the de
struction of the ships while at Toula.
He expressed sorrow at the death of so
many brave men. The whole war to him
is a regrettable occurrence, for which he
feels that Russia is Hot responsible.
The review of the troops was held at
the station on account of the pressure
for time and was exceedingly brief. The
Czar's trip through the ancient capital,
which he much prefers to St. Petersburg,
was almost In the nature of a triumphal
procession. The streets were gaily deco
rated, and the sidewalks were crowded
with people whose acclamations almost
drowned the fearful clang of the bells of
Moscow's 500 churches. No escort of
troops accompanied the Czar, who sat In
an open carriage.
Inside the Kremlin were no troops ex
cept the regular sentinels. His Majesty
did not visit the Imperial Palace, but
drove rapidly across the terrace which
overlooks the shining city and the river
flowing at its base.
The imperial party returned to the sta
tion, departing at 7 o'clock for Tsarkoe
where His Majesty tomorrow will review
the guards, his mother's own regiment,
-on the occasion of the celebration of the
200th anniversary of its organization.
MINES CAUSED THE DISASTER.
Admiral at Port Arthur Says Sub
marines Were Not Sent Out.
ST. PETERSBURG, May ZL Details of
Rear-Admiral Wittsoef's mall dispatch to
Viceroy Alexieff, transmitted by tele
graph today to High-Admiral Grand Duke
Alexis, which was not made public, es
tablish the fact that mines planted by the
Russian torpedo-boats were responsible
for the destruction of the Hatsuse and
the damage sustained by other battle
ships of the Fuji type off Port Arthur.
It is said that no submarine boats were
sent out of Port Arthur. The suppression
of the statement regarding the mines was
due to the fact that it explained where
they were located. A number of unex
ploded mines lie in the same vicinity, and
it is not deemed wise to describe their
position. Each mine contained 74 pounds
of gun cotton.
The Admiralty thinks it highly probable
that It was a battleship of the Fuji type
which struck a mine, bu$ that she kept
afloat and was eventually lost, as a heavy
gale was blowing. In any event it is said
At least two months in dock will be re
quired to repair the damage done to the
vessel referred to.
Satisfaction is expressed at the excel
lent condition of all the torpedo-boat
destroyers, as shown by the report that
16 of these boats went out in the attempt
to destroy other ships. The haste with
which the Russian protected cruiser Novik
put to sea toj support the smaller craft is
pointed to by the authorities as showing
that not only is the harbor entrance
clear, but that Admiral Wlttsoeft la con
vinced that he has taken up all the mines
laid by the Japanese. A report from.
Wlttsoeft some days ago announced that
he had exploded three Japanese mlne3.
Postpones Meeting With Alexieff.
HARBIN, May 21. The expected

without going to Mukden. Admiral
Skrydloff is expected to return to Har
bin, while a portion of his staff re

from the fort3. There were no casualties
on our. side."
Expect Foreign Powers to Protest.
TOKIO, May 2L:-It is absolutely certain
that the battleship Hatsuse was sunk
by Russian mines ten miles off the coast.
The position of these mines makes navi
gation dangerous for neutral vessels, and
a protest from foreign government is ex
pected. The loss of the Japanese war
ships is felt keenly here. No flags are
flying in this city, and the nightly lantern
parades have been abandoned. American
nurses will go to Heroshima Receiving
Hospital on the 25th Inst.

Liable for Salvage on Duties Collected
NEW YORKr May 2L-Judge Holt in
the United States District Court, today
handed down an opinion in which he
found the United States liable for salvage
on duties collected, and also held it was
not proper to make conclusions of law
defining the powers of the Treasury un
der section 29S4 of the Revised Statutes.
The opinion was 'given in an action
brought against the Government by the
Cornell Steamboat Company, the owner
of the steam tug G. R. Townsend. The
tug on January 9 saved 18S3 bags of
sugar on the lighter Bangor from fire.
Duty to the value of over $1000 had been
paid on the sugar. A libel was filed
against the sugar, and the owner paid
$1274 salvage. The tug owners then sued
the United States, alleging it would have
to refund the $1000 due if the sugar had
been destroyed by fire.

Few Lives Lost, but the Damage Done
Will Reach Large Sum.
DENVER, May 21. The. flood In the
Cache la Poudre Valley, caused by the
waterspout in the foothills yesterday after
noon, reached Its height at Greeley be
tween 9 and 11 o'clock this morning. The
only life lost so far as yet known, is-
Robert Strouss. A number of people are
missing, and owing to conditions of the
roads and washing out of bridges it Is im
possible to ascertain whether they lost
their lives.
Dozens of bridges were washed out be
tween Greeley and Windsor and between
Fort Collins and Llvermore. The railroad
bridge north of Greeley is still standing,
but for a distance of 100 rods the embank
ment under the Union Pacific tracks is
washed out, leaving the rails without sup
port. Mail communication between Wind
sor and outside points is entirely cut oft.
The Colorado Southern management re
ports that it will be Tuesday or Wednes
day before traffic can be resumed.
No estimate of the damage done to crops
can be made until the water goes down,
but It it continues to fall at the present
rate part of them may be saved.
City Marshal E. F. Camp, of Greeley,
took the precaution to notify all people
living along the lowlands of the coming
of the flood. Had this not been done, a
large number of lives would have been
lost, as the bottom lands are well settled.
The river was three feet higher than
ever "before since Greeley was established.

of water six feet high came down tho val
ley, sweeping ranch buildings, fences, cor
rals, haystacks and other movable articles
in its path. Five hundred people living in
the lowlands along the creek in West

fled without their clothing. A general
alarm was sounded, and hundreds of res
cuers on horses and in boats were soon at
work.
Loss Estimated at $1,000,000.
