THE RUSSIANS LOSE 2000 MEH
Ine News Has a Stunning Effect on
the Authorities at St Petersburg
Seven Hundred Wounded and Forty
Officers Killed
ST PETERSBURG The Russian
losses at the battle of Kiu Lien Cheng
were 2 000 men and forty officers
tar greater than previous reports in
licated
This is the official estimate of Ma-
or General Kashtalinsky who direct
ly commanded the division that suf
fered the brunt of the attack and
whose report was received Wednesday
by the emperor Many are Inclined to
place the Russian losses even higher
3eneral Krshtalinsky mentions also
that more than 700 wounded had ar
rived at Feng Wang Cheng and these
may not be included in the casualties
He made no attempt to estimate the
lapanese losses merely stating that
they must have been colossal
The magnitude ot the Russian losses
had an almost stunning effect on tJie
authorities and aroused general grief
mitigated only by satisfaction at the
bravery displayed by the Russian
troops
Not for a moment was there any in
tention to pay such a terrible price
for delaying the enemys crossing of
the Yalu river This fact was known
hroughout the city and gave rise to
renewed reports attributed to official
sources that General Kuropatkin had
officially censured Lieutenant General
Zassalitch If this was so General
Kuropatkins telegraphed criticism of
Zassalitch was carefully cut out of
the dispatches which have been pub-
general impression
now held is that he will remain in
Manchuria
General Kashtalinskys report estab
lishes the fact that the Russians sus
tained the greatest loss in order to
save the two regiments which were
occupying Antung
The Eleventh regiment was given
the post of honor at the rear with
instructions to hold back the on-coming
Japanese The Twelfth regiment
and the Third batterys quick firing de
tachment were directed to retire
By the time the latter movement
commenced the Japanese had almost
surrounded the Russian position The
Twelfth regiment was compelled to
charge with the bayonet and succeed
ed in breaking through the enemys
line The Second batterys quick-firing
detachment without horses could
not move the guns and were compelled
to abandon them The men of the
Second battery put their shoulders to
the wheels in an effort to push the
guns up the mountain side but the
Japanese lire was so hot that they re
turned to the protection of the Elev
enth regiment
Nearer and nearer approached the
Tapanese and a charge upon the Elev
enth regiment and the Second battery
was imminent so he guns wcreaban

St Louis Mining and Milling company
against the Montana Mining company

vein itself may be followed but that
in no other way can the adjoining
territory of another mining property
be explored

block the channel tried to save them
selves in boats in which they put out
to sea A majority of them were kill

rifles Some of the survivors were
picked up
At daybreak a number of Japanese
were seen clinging to the masts and

Thinks United States is Wise
LONDON The best military ex
perts are disposed to await further in
formation before attaching undue im
portance to the result of the battle
on the Yalu river Commenting on
the Shanghai report that United
States Consul Davidson is proceeding
to his post at Antung the Globe says
Thy triumph of the open door has
begun and the United States has given
once more a sign of its appreciation of
real issies of war in the far east

TO BE EVACUATED
RUSSIANS HAVE DECIDED TO DE
PART FROM NEW CHWANG
HEED MORE FORGE TO HOLD IT
Reported Wounding of Viceroy Alex
ieff Before Departure for Port Ar
thur Russians at New Chwang
Hurriedly Leaving
NEW CHWANG There is every in
dication that the Russians have de
cided to evacuate New Chwang The
troops have been leaving here all day
long Forts have been dismantled and
all artillery has been placed on beard
trains All the local transportation
has been commandeered by the Rus
sian authoritiees
There is current here a native ru
moro that Japanese troops are in Foo
Chau bay on the Avest side of the Liao
Tung peninsula and about sixty miles
north of Port Arthur but this report
lacks confirmation
The fear is held here that if the
Russians leave and the Japanese do
not at once take possession of New
Chwang the brigands who are now
across the river near Yin Kow will
pillage the place The foreign resi
dents are prepared to resist the brig
ands should they come over The
British consul has requested that a
gunboat be sent to New Chwang The
Russians probably will destroy the
gunboat Sivoutch before leaving The
vessel is at New Chwang
It is reported here that Viceroy
Alexieff was slightly wounded before
his departure from Port Arthur He
barely escaped from there before the
Japanese closed the lines of commu
nication
The Russian general staff has mov
ed from Liao Yang to Mukden
Russians here will not talk of the
situation for fear that they may im
part some information They do not
consider that their forces here are suf
ficient to hold this section of ie
country It is probable that the Rus
sian troops will withdraw to Harbin
The Russian civilians at New
Chwang are leaving hurriedly and
many natives are fleeing from the city
in fear that they will be subjected to
maltreatment at the hands of the
brigands

of specialties such as tan shoes that

Improvements in collections particu

Blow to Small Creditors
CHICAGO The suit brought by
the trustee of the George Phillips com
pany to recover from the Bank of
Montreal 200 000 which the mem
bers of the firm had deposited shortly
before the collapse of tho corn corner
in 1902 came to an abrupt ending in
the United States circuit court today
Judge Seaman took the case from the
jury and announced a decision in fa
vor of the bank
The court held that a bank was not
in the same class as other creditors
of a bankrupt The decision practic
ally means that the small creditors of
the Phillips company will receive but
a slight percentage on claims while
the banking institution comes out al

A rumor to the effect that the Jap

was circulated in Paris Monday but

the above dispatch refers to the same

General Kouropatkin has gone to
the front from Lia Yang to inspect
the situation personally Troops ar
being hurried forward from the Liao
Yang and Mukden line to a position
near Feng Wang Cheng
All the Russians wounded have been
sent back toward Liao Yang in order
not to encumber the operations of the
Russian army It appears evident
that General Kouropatkin is preparing
to give battle to General Kurokis
army if circumstances warrant
Private reports are to the effect
that the fighting blood of the Russian
soldiers is up and that they are thirst
ing for an opportunity to revenge the
slaughter on the Yalu but although
the commander-in-chief is greatly
chagrined at the miscarriage of his
plans on the Yalu there is no idea
here that he will act rashly on that
account His decision as to the ex

IOWA MAKES GREAT RECORD
Old
Made by
WASHINGTON Remarkable rec

the annual record target practice just
completed The Iowas
guns made forty two shots and thirty
four hits The best twelve inch gun
made eleven shots and eleven hits
The hits per gun per minute for the
twelve inch guns were 075 This
equals the record made by the British
ship Ocean in 1902 when it broke
the worlds record and in the case of
the Iowa the record is all the more
creditable because its guns are of an
old type The Iowas eight inch guns
made 120 hits the gun each minute
