PBE k -Wsfl 2 THE SUNDAY OREGONJAtf, PORTLAND, JULY 1?, 1904. wmmm ' a '"yw Zassaiitch's Defeat One !n Name Only. KUROPATKIN IN DANGER Troops So Few They Would Have Been Wiped Out RUSSIA FAST TAKING HOPE She Now Regards Criticism of the Commander-in-Chief Undue, and Believes He Can Inflict Heavy - Blow When on Offensive. ST. PETERSBURG, July 16. Experts who recently were inclined -to criticise General Kuropatkln's management of af Xalrs In the Far East declare, as the sit uation develops, that his strategies have proved, so far, beyond reproach. He has successfully tided over a pressing danger how pressing only those In close touch with the Far East realize. His apparent mistakes, like the prolonged resistance of fered by Lieutenant-General Zassalltch on the Yalu, turn out to be acts of the high est military judgment. General Kuropatkln then had so few and such poor troops at Llao Tang that the Japanese would have had an easy task to crush the main force of the Rus sians had they been permitted to cross the Yalu without severe punishment, and the thousands lost by Zassalltch practi cally saved Llao Yang. Zassalltch, until disgraced, occupied an important staff po sition. General Baron Stakelbcrgs march, which also was criticised. Is now admitted to have been necessary. The rudiments of war are that the army should be In con stant touch with the enemy, otherwise it would be Impossible to know the strength of Its opponents or to be Informed of their movements. General Stakelberg's march was a re connaissance on a grand scale, and not only enabled General Kuropatkln to as certain the enemy's strength and disposi tion, but materially disturbed the Japan ese plans relative to the siege of Fort Arthur, gradually drawing the bulk of the Japanese army to follow the retreat ing column, and thus distracting attention from the vulnerable spot between Llao Yang and Mukden. Meanwhile the men at Kuropatkln's headquarters are Improving. Fifty thou sand of the best troops from European Russia have reached Llao Yang within a month, and if the Russian Commander-in-Chief should choose now to accept a battle he will be able to inflict a heavy blow. All Russia is looking forward with confidence to the issue of the fight. CRUISER JOINED IN ATTACK. Alexieff Gives Novik Much Credit for Port Arthur Victory. ST. PETERSBURG. July 16. In the fighting of July 3 and July 4 for the possession of the positions at Lunsan tan. outside of Port t Arthur. Viceroy Alexieff reports that the Japanese were repulsed with the aid of the protected cruiser Novik, and a number of gun boats and torpedo-boats. The Russians captured a number of Japanese fortifi cations. The losses of the Russians were two officers and 35 men killed ahd four officers and 247 men wounded. The Chinese estimate the Japanese losses at 2000. Alexieff adds that the Japanese landed 000 men and 50 guns at Port Dalny. July 2. The following Is the text of Viceroy Alexioff's report: "According to reports received from Port Arthur, dated July 5, an engagement occurred July 3 and July 4 on the right flank of our line of defense for the posses sion of position of Lunsantan. Toward evening the enemy was repulsed and many of the Japanese fortifications fell Into our hands. During these two days the Novik. with the gunboat and torpedo boats, put out to sea, and bombarded the enemy, this contributing to our general success. "Our losses for the two days' fighting were: Killed Captain Ghetenko, of the Thirteenth Regiment, and Lieutenant Livotoff, of the Twenty-seventh Regi ment. "Wounded Captain Mlroschnlkoff. of the Thirteenth Regiment; Lieutenant Olschlnesky, of the Fourteenth Regi ment; Sub-Lieutenant Demlanoff, of the Fifteenth Regiment, and Prince Gantl mouroff, aid-de-c&mp of General Stoessel, dangerously wounded. Thirty-flve of our soldiers were killed and 247 were wounded. Colonel Reuss, who acted, as chief of staff of General Stoessel, was bruised. The Japanese losses for the two days, accord ing to Chinese reports, were 2000 men killed. "According to a report of July 7, we captured on July 6 an advanced hill, in suring us possession of Lunsantan Pass. Our loss was two officers killed and one officer wounded and 21 soldiers wounded. "According to advices received, the Jap anese effected a landing at Port Dalny July 2, disembarking about 20.000 men and CO guns. The whole town swarmed wlth. Japanese soldiers. The enemy Is repairing the docks and central station. The rail road line is being repaired throughout its whole length; butr owing to lack of en gines, the cars are worked by Chinese. "On July 9 the Japanese suspended their advance and entrenched themselves in the positions they are occupying. Dally exchanges c-f rifle fire are impeding their "work. "The rains have damaged the roads considerably. The spirit of the troops is excellent." JAPS SUFFER FROM HUNGER Several, Begging for Food, Surrender to the Russians. t ST.PETERSBURG, July 16 O:30 P. MO. The Japanese are continuing to ad vance on Ta Tche Kiao. following a scientific plan, and entrenching their po sitions as they move forward. They ap pear to be taking extra precautions in the- case of Ta Tche Kiao, on account of their knowing that General Kuro patkln is there personally. According to ,a dispatch from Lieu-tenant-General Sakharoff. jJated July 15 and given out today, the wings of Gen erals Oku's and Npdzu's armies have joined at Tang Chi, ten miles southeast of Ta Tche Kiao. The Japanese are pJso-reported to have occupied the for tifications at Plntz Sau, about seven miles north of Kaichou, and were still pro ceeding towards Nlu Chwang, which .had not been occupied July 15.

According to reports from he vicinity of the Llao River, a disguised Japanese officer and a detachment of Japanese have gone toward Haichcng with ten chests full of silver to pay Chinese bandits. JAPANESE DENY REVERSE. Assert Not a Shot Was Fired on the Dates Given by Russia. TOKIO. July 16. The Imperial headquar ters staff officially denies the reports from St Petersburg that the Japanese lost 30.000 men In a battle near Port Arthur on July 10 or 1L Not a shot was fired on either date. Russia Is Now Skeptical. ST. PETERSBURG, July 16. Since the receipt from Toklo of an official de nial of the report of a Japanese repulse at Port Arthur, with the loss of about 30,000 men, skepticism as to tha truth of the report from Viceroy Alex ieff's headquarters has pervaded all cir cles, but the members of the General Staff decline to accept the denial unre servedly. "While not insisting on the ac curacy of the figures, they assert there Is good reason to believe that a severe check was inflicted on the Japanese in front of Port Arthur- An official report Just received from General Stoessel, de scribing the events of July 7 and S, strengthens this view. Stoessel says the Japanese repeatedly attacked the eastern defenses around Lun San Tan, and every where were repulsed, the Russian not losing a single position within the vicin ity of the fortress. The Admiralty has not received a re port from Admiral "Wlthoeft recently. Although still in Ignorance as to what the official statement meant by "from Japanese sources," the officials here maintain that Alexieff must have had good reason to send the report. While It Is conceivable that the Japanese them selves may have spread the report for the purpose of leading General Kuro patkln to believe that they will not ad vance any further In Manchuria, the Gen eral Staff are not disposfd to regard them as guilty of much machlavellsm. Despite the attitude of the General Staff, who are evidently reluctant to give up a report for which they are not re sponsible, the public ardor has quite cooled down. The American Embassy today for warded to Berlin another list of names of Japanese prisoners. There are 111 at Perim, 10S at Kungur. S3 at Solikamsek. and 123 at Tomsk. The whereabouts of the 300 who were at sea, in the Amur dis trict, and who are now scattered, has not been definitely established. MAY BE AT MERCY OF RUSSIAN9 Japanese Transports Trapped, if Hos tile Fleet Has Reached Kaichou. ST. PETERSBURG. Julv lG.ReHnhln reports from Ta Tche Klao this after noon brought the startling announcement of the presence of Russian warships off Kaichou, which they are said to be bombarding, and of the arrival of Jap anese transports and torpedo-boats off the port of Nlu Chwang. The Admiralty was unablp. tn ennfim nr deny either report, not having received any communication from Rear-Admiral Wlthoeft. but the Admirals c-ennrrillv were not inclined to credit them. If true. It would mean that Admiral "Wlth oeft has got the Japanese transports at his mercy. In this case. Admiral Togo would hasten to their rescue and engage tne Russians. This may also explain the absence of positive news of the Jap anese occupation of the port of Nlu Chwang and the cautious advance of General Oku's column. GERMAN STEAMER IS STOPPED Russians Seize a Large Amount of Mail Bound for Japan. ADEN, July 16. The North German Lloyd steamer Prlnz Helnrich, which has arlved here from Hamburg1, June 23, and Southampton. June 28, for Yo kohama, reports that it was stopped yesterday afternoon by the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk and compelled to give up SI sacks of letters and 24 sacks and boxes of parcels, all bound for Japan.

Russia Will Have to Explain. BERLIN, July 16. The report of the seizure of the mails of the North German- Lloyd steamer Prlnz Helnrich by the Rus sian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk, in the Red Sea, reached here too late for most of the papers to comment on It. The Tageblatt says: "A speedy explanation of this Russian action against the Emperor's postal flag is Imperatively necessary. Steps must be taken that a disavowal Is made and that such Russian arbitrary acts are avoided In the future." CHINA MUCH DISTURBED. France Will Send Troops Unless tha Rebellion Is Suppressed.

SCRIMMAGE FREE FOR ALL Most of the Men 'Bound for Plant Make Their Way While Trouble Is at Its Height Sheriff Orders Picketing Be Stopped. ST. PAUL. July 16. Tha first clash he tween the Sheriffs force and the striking butchers of Swift & Co. at South St. Paul occurred today, when a spirited and partly successful effort was made by the company, assisted by Sheriff Grislm and deputies, to force about 25 men through a big crowd of strikers who were con- gregated about the entrance to the packing-house yards. A severe hand-to-hanJ encounter ensued and several on both sides wero badly bruised. One of the strikers, J. K. Banks, marshal of the striking pickets, was arrested later and fined J25. The clash happened after Sheriff Grislm had held a conference with Governor Vansant on the strike situation, during which the Governor had instructed Sher iff Grislm to use his utmost endeavors to disperse the large gathering of strik ers who, since the strike began, have con gregated about the entrance to the pack-Ing-houso yards and prevented all per sons from going Jnslde. Prior to this time the, strikers had Indulged In no vio lence. All Is Confusion in a Moment. "When the Sheriff came to South St Paul from his conference with the Gov ernor, he held a conference with Super intendent Burns, of the Swift Paoklng Company. The latter expressed a desire to lake a number of men, Into the yards, and the arrangement was made. The in vaders, when they marched up to the entrance, were surrounded by strikers and a fight began. In a moment all was confusion Major Luffle, of the Minneapolis branch of the company, who was with tho invad ers, was badly Injured. Sheriff Grislm rescued him from the strikers, who were pounding him. The fighting line stretched over a hundred yards. While the fight was going on 10 men ran the blockade of the pickets and several others man aged to slip through by themselves. It Is said that In this manner 25 men were taken Into the yards. After the fight was over Sheriff Grislm called the strike leaders and the pickets together and Is sued a forceful statement of the situa tion. He declared if the strikers persisted In their course of blockading the public thoroughfare he would bo compelled to call on the Governor for aid. The Sher iff's statements were received with long argument and protestations that the law Is being observed. Pickets Return When Sheriff Departs Sheriff Grlaim. ordered the abandonment of the cordon of pickets. The men as sented, but as soon as. he left tho scene the cordon was again formed on orders from the business agent of the union and the work of holding up every man at tempting to pass went on. Nothing will be done at the plant tomorrow. The men will be kept within its walls. On Monday an effort will be made, backed up by the full resources of the Swift Company, to open the plant, with a large force at work and kept In oper ation. Serious trouble is expected as soon as efforts are made to Increase the present working force of approximately 450 men. PEACE TALK VATN. (Continued from First Pago.) to the other trades and the possible ne cessity of housing a large number of men In their plants, the packers caused nearly 5000 cots and blankets to be taken Into the yards today. Meanwhile, with every day Tehich fails In reaching a settlement the sentiment for a sympathetic strike is growing among nearly 12,ttX other employes at the stockyards. The temper of the union men was re flected by President Donnelly, who said: "We will die fighting before submitting to arbitration as proposed by the packers. Their suggestion of arbitration would mean- the complete annihilation of trade unions in the stockyards. - Chief of Police CNeill has recom mended to Mayor Harrison the revoca tion of the license of any saloon in which a 'Strike disturbance Btarta. IMPORTED MEN QUIT WORK. Kansas City Packlng-Houses, How ever, Are Increasing Thtlr Forces. KANSAS CITr.

An effort was made to detain some of the deserters, but they succeeded In jumping out of windows or rushing past the guards. Later they mingled with tho strik ers at labor headquarters. "Meat prices have not advanced as high in Kansas City as elsewhere," said a big butcher today, "because there is a supply of meat in the packinghouses that canno"t be shipped. It is good meat, but it will not stand shipment long distances in this weather." This stock is the fresh meat affected by the recent flood. . At the Ave leading packing-houses it-was said each was exceeding the output ot the previous days of the strike, and each put on additional nonunion men. Four cattle butchers who went out at Armour's have returned to work. Ruddy Bros.' plant controlled by the Fowler Interests, is still shut down. Union teamsters are beginning to agitate the question of a sympathetic strike, and there Is some talk of the packing employes going out In the packing-house district several retail butchers have refused to handle meat killed by the plants being operated by nonunion men, and are buy ing of the Independent slaughterers. There was no perceptible change today In the prices of fresh meats. At Armour's, 200 nonunion employes in the canning and labeling departments walked out today, after receiving their salaries. BUTCHER-SHOPS HAVE TO CLOSE New York Establishments Are Un , able to Secure Meat. NEW YORK, July 16. There was no change In the status of the meat strike today, and matters have assumed the phase of a deadlock. Meat is becoming scarcer on the East Side, and the temper of the people Is beginning to be felt A number of the butcher-shops have been forced to close because of their inability to get meat Matters will be further complicated by the sympathetic strike of the firemen, who only await the word to walk out It is believed they will quit work tomor row. The engineers have not yet taken any action, but It Is believed they will be guided by the action of the firemen. The strike of the firemen will cripple the Icehouses, and will prove a severe blow to the packers. St. Louis Plant Does Little. ST. LOUIS, July 16. Although the man agement of the St Louis Dressed Beefi & Provision Company, the only St Louis packing-houses affected by the strike, an nounced that killing would be resumed on a large scale today, but little slaugh tering was done. The East Side packing houses have practically ceased operations. A further Increase In meat prices has been made by restaurants, as the result of the 6trlke. The retail butchers are In forming their customers that unless the etrike Is settled promptly they will not be able to buy anything like a sufficient quantity of meat to supply the demand. The prices for all kinds of fresh meat today are about 30 per cent higher than they were the first part of the week. Fire Protection Is Increased. CHICAGO, July 16. Fire engines, hose carts and fire-insurance patrols with a full quota of men were sent to the Stock Yards today to Increase the fire protec tion. This action taken at the instance of the Chicago Underwriters Association, was accepted as indica tive of fear on the part pf the packers and insurance men that a stage of the strike has been reached when desperate disorder may be expected, notwithstand ing the strenuous efforts of the union offi cials to prevent violence. The emergency fire protection Is to be continued at the Stock Yarda as long as the strike con tinues. Strikers Induce Many to Return. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., July 16. The man agers of the South St Joseph packing house assort that they aro in better con dition now than at any time since the strike. They are still offering employ ment to all applicants, but the strikers persuade many of the nonunion men to leave after they have worked a short time. Swift, Hammond and others were operating today, clerks, foremen and other employes doing work formerly i e by the strikers. A number of men w. came here from Kansas City to go to work in the Swift plant were induced by strikers to return. New Men Employed at Omaha. OMAHA, July 16. Several hundred new men were given employment at tho pack inghouses In South Omaha today. Some difficulty was experienced In getting the new men Into the packing plants, but there was no violence.

LARGE ARMY IS NECESSARY American Captured by RaisuII Pre poses an Alternative That the Brigand Be Given Power to Settle Complications. PARIS, July 16. Ion Perdicaris ar Tived here today from Tangier on an Important mission, which will occupy the next two weeks. He called at the American Embassy, conferred at length with Ambassador Porter, and also ar ranged for a meeting with Foreign Minister Delcasse early next week. Mr. Perdicaris intends strongly to urge on the Government officials and Parlia mentary leaders the necessity for the adoption of a forcible policy toward Morocco as the only means of averting disaster. He shows no ill effects from his captivity, but says Mrs. Perdicaris, who accompanied mm nere, suffered severely from belnsr thrown down a flight of stairs by Raisull's men. M. Perdicaris does not Intend to make A claim for Indemnity, as he considers his case closed and Is now devoting his attentilon to the broader phases of the serious situation In Morocco. In the course of an interview with the correspondent of the Associated Press, Mr. Perdicaris said: "The situation at Tangier has be come desperate. Strong- measures are requisite to avoid serious consequences. France's policy of pacific penetration promises to be entirely inadequate to meet the danger. The present plan of sending- forth French Algerian ofiicers to Tangier as a means for stiffening the police there, I likely to bring on the very catastrophe it is sought to avoid. It will excite Intense animosity, and if an outbreak occurs, these 40 offi cers would be useless to maintain or der. If, however, a large force, say of 10,000 men, is landed, It wovlcl end all turbulence and give a lasting object lesson of French power. Menace of Extensive Uprising. "Nothing short of some such decisive action will suffice to meet the situation. It might involve a skirmish and pos sibly some bloodshed, but it would be Insignificant compared with the grave menace of an extensive uprising and possible massacre through a policy of excessive mildness. France has estab lished a commanding position in Al geria and Tunis through firmness, and requires the same policy In Morocco." It was suggested to Mr. Perdicaris that two French warships were now held at Toulon in readiness to meet the emergency of an uprising at Tangier. He replied: "The warships might better be at Tangier than at Toulon. If an uprising occurred, It would be over before the ships arrived from Toulon. It would likewise be Impossible to get a British military force from Gibraltar across In time. Moreover, I stopped at Gibraltar on my way here and. the military Gov ernor, General Sir George White, said he had no orders contemplating a Gib raltar relief force going to Tangier on an emergency." ' Asked, if in his opinion the United States should tfke further action in Morocco. Mr. Eferdlcarls said: "If France fjulfllls her responsibili ties, well andgood, otherwise r think It will be salutary to have France un derstand that her failure to protect foreigners may lead the United States and other governments to adopt means for protecting their citizens." Mr. Perdicaris says he fully recog nizes the difficulties in the way of France adopting force, owing to Par liamentary opposition and political complications in Spain and Morocco. Therefore, he Is prepared to propose an alternative measure. This is nothing short of giving Raisull authority to deal with the situation in and around Tangier. Would Give Raisull Power. "I know this will excite surprise," said Mr. Perdicaris, "as the public has the Idea that Raisull 13 a common rob ber. This Is entirely erroneous. I con sider Raisull to be the strongest man now available to deal with the turbu lent conditions. While it would be an experiment, yet I am convinced It would be better to try the experiment than to allow the situation to drift into com plete anarchy. Raisull says he can maintain order, and I believe In giving him a trial. This can be done by the foreign representatives Joining with France In upholding Ralsuli's au thority." Mr. Perdicaris frankly says that Mr. Gummere, the American Consul-General, and the British Minister at Tan gier, are strongly opposed to giving Raisull any authority. He pays high tribute to the American and British officials, but he says he thinks their opposition to Raisull is the natural re sult "of the trouble he gave them dur ing the captivity Incident With the exception of these two, Mr. Perdicaris says the foreign representatives ap prove of the plan of supporting Rai sull's course. Description of the Brigand. During the Interview Mr. Perdicaris gave the following description of Rai sull: "He is a man of large stature and of commanding appearance. His dark, heavily-bearded face usually has an ex pression of sternness, but It lights up when he speaks. He wears a white turban and flowing white and blue robes, which constitute the garb of a Moorish gentleman as distinguished from the rough costume of the moun taineers. I believe him to be seriously sincere. His taking me prisoner was part of a political movement and the demand for a ransom was due to re venge for a series of persecutions against himself and family." The representatives of Mr. Perdicaris promise to receive serious attention from the officials and parliamentary leaders, owing to his Intimate knowl edere of Moorish affairs. He also speaks LowLiOughs At first a high cough, all in your throat. You neglected it. Now it is down deep in the chest. That means a low cough, a lung cough, bronchitis. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral controls the inflam mation, heals the torn mem branes. Talk this over with your doctor.
