Charge Through Wntcr Waist Deep In
Pace of Heavy I'lre.
Toklo, Mny 4. -Tho war olflco haa
received n dispatch from Genornl Kur
okl, coui'iinudlng tho Japaneso advance,
which tells of a complete Japanese
victory in tho first general engagement
on land of the war. Tho Kusslan army
ol uu,ooo, which (Jcnernl Kuropatklu
loantfully declnred would sweep the
Japaneso into tho sen, is completely
routed and wan compollod (o rotrei t in
confusion on Feng Iiuan Cheng.
Tho Kusslan losses nro vory heavy,
while those of tho Japaneso nro do
clarcd to havo leon mucJi smaller than
might havo boon expected, considering
that they had to wado tho Yntu river
In tho iiico of n withering II ro from tho
Kuasiaiis, who woro very strongly en
trench ml. Tho Russian artillery had
been silenced by tho Japanese guns,
nnd they cnrrlod tho Ilusslnn entrench
ment In n gallant layonet charge In
which the men vied with tho oHlcers
to be thn first to roach the Interior of
tho Hue-Inn position.
Tho unmicnchablo valor which re
suited In the uninterrupted series of
victories during tho war with China
was ngnln very much in evidence
Nothing could stop tho troops, who,
tired with their long stay in tho
trenches nenr WIJu, weto anxious to-
show thnt tho nrmy wns fully ns nblo
to bring honor to tho mikado's colors
na has Iwen tho navy.
The scenes In Toklo this mornlni' nro
well nigh indescribable. Tho streets
havo U-en filled nil night with anxious
peoplo waiting to hear tho latest news
from tho front. Unfortunately. leyond
tho fact that great Jnnanosu victory
una neon won, moro la nine vino to no
learned. If tho war olllce has recolvcd
n complote report, it is withhold for
strategic reasons.
MJLOARIA MAY HAVO TO riUIIT.
The Turkish Movements Ara Regarded
as Very Hostile.
Holla, May 4. Desplto tho fact that
thn Turklsh-IJulgailan agreement haa
been drat fed Into a treaty nnd sub
scribed to by both powers, thcro Is n
giowing feeling hero thnt Ilulgnrin has
lecii deceived by tho sultan nnd his ad
visers nnd thnt instead of danger hav
Ing been averted fur good and nit, tho
conflict hna simply been postponed for
n time. As nn indication thnt this
feeling is shared by tho higher llulgar-
lan olliclala tho following facta may bo
cited:
In tho past It hna lecn customary to
gtnnt free lenvea of absence to olllccrs
of the nrmy during tho spring nnd
early summer months nnd a Inrgo mini'
bor of applications nro now pending
Ilowover, within n short time, sevornl
general orders havo been Issued by the
minister of wnr, tho effect of which tins
been to do nway with nil leaves for the
present, whllo nil olllccrs hnvo been
ordered to bring their commands up to
the highest degree of cfllclcncy.
This is held by well Informed Unl
gar Inns to mean that Bulgaria mny yet
have to battle to retain her Inde
pendence. In conversation with an
ofllcer of tho Bulgarian general staff,
whoso identity for obilous reasons can
not bo revealed, tho correspondent waa
asuurrd thnt it Is generally recognised
thnt war cannot bo averted, although
postponed for a tlmo by tho new treaty.
How the Mines Were Laid.
Port Arthur, May 4. Details of the
demonstrations off Fort Arthur April
27 discloeo tho ingenuity of tho Japan
eso. Their squadion set afloat n string
of connected rafts carrying burning
matter. About 1:40 In tho morning
when Ave miles off shore, tho combus
tibles wero filed, tho wind nnd waves
bringing tho burning floats townrd tho
harbor.
Under cover of this screen of flro
eight Jnpnneso torpedo boats, towing a
launch tilled with mines, slipped
mound to n spot nenr where tho rotrc-
pnvovsK wna Mink, but thoy were de
tected by tho Ilusslnn learchliRhts,
when the batteries opened lire and
drovo them off, but not before tho
mines had been placed.
Tho mines havo slnco been des
troyed, Tho Japaneso, knowing thnt
tho Ilusslnns would intercept wireless
messages, tried a neat trick to decolvo
and -.orry Vlcoroy Alcxlcff. For bov
ornl nights in succession thoy sent by
wireless tolcitrnpli ordera to lire pare for
n landing, to send in tlreshlps, to at
tack with submarine boats, etc.

Tho loss is this afternoon estimated

nnd that as a consequence tho insurance
companies will lose heavily.
Fernlo Is a town of 3,600 to 4,000

"At 4 o'clock this morning Jnpanaco

Togo Wanta Ns More'Ralda Mada by tba
VUdlrottek Squadron.
St. Petersburg, May 3. A dispatch
received hero from Viceroy Alexicff
nays:
"The continued presence of the Jap
anese squadron off Vladivostok has con
vinced the authorities that Vice Ad
miral logo has taken to heart tho sharp
lesson taught him through hla failure
to consider tho possibilities of mischief
by the formidable Rusxian division at
that port, and is now seeking means to
stop furtbci raiding operations in tho
Sea of Japan. It is evident that aa
soon oa tho Japanese wero informed of
the operation of the Russians in Corean
waters, tho government instructed Vico
Admiral Togo to dispatch n strong
squadron and send It to Vladivostok to
cut off the Russian ships andjeonflno
them to tho harbor so they coulddo
no further damage. The former pur
pose failed, owing to the celerity of
Rear Admiral Yezsan'a movements."
Whllo there is no expectation that
Rear Admiral Ye wan will risk an en
counter with a superior force by put
ting to sea, even on a raiding expedi
tion, it is said he is a bold, careful
commander and will spring surprises
upon the Japanese.
