CUE POO. Major L. L. Scnmnt
U. S. A., returned to Che Poo after
an adventurous attempt to enter
Port Arthur. Leaving Che Poo
August 25, Major Seaman proceeded
to Taklntan, one of the Miautaul
islands. Unable to obtain a Junk
hero, ho secured a lifeboat belonging
to a steamer reeontly wrecked and
with four coolies as oaismen and
the third uiato of the wrecked
steamer he started for Port Arthur.
He carried a makeshift Amorican
Hag with twenty-two stripes. A
head wind and a strong tide com
pelled Major Seaman to return to
his starting place at nightfall. He
slept on the pebbly beach. On
August 28 ho secured a small junk
and with a favorable wind sped
toward Port Arthur. He passed a
Japanese cruiser unnoticed and saw
four battleships in the vicinity of
the harbor's mouth. His Junk drifted
too close to tho shore and it vvas
lired upon by Japanese illl'inon.
Discovering tho impossibility oi
landing in the face of tho shore
guard and warships, Major Seaman
reluctantly returned.
It is reported here upon good au
thority that tho Japanoso have cap
tured sjmo Russian officers bound to
Port Arthur with important papers.
These officers loft Mukden and at
tempted to get Into Port Arthur by
junk. Pur somo time past a Japan
eso torpedo boat has been at sea
watching for this Junk, and accord
ing to tho report she overtook it at
1 o'clock this morning and took the
officers, the papers and tho junk
into Port Daily.
Tho advance positions of the Jap
anese beforo Port Arthur are now
near fort No. 5 on the east of Pallc
huang,on tho north and at Huklaton
and Yangtowang, on tho west.

August 28 say that neither sldo was
then occupying fort No 5.

Crimes? Found Out.
COLCHESTER, Conn. That Ger.
shon H. Marx, now held In the Nor
wich county jail, is tho perpetrator
of a series of cold blooded murders,
probably without preccdont in the
history of Connecticut, is the belief
of officials who began a systematic
seaich for bodies on tho Maix larni.
Pour murders and the attempt to
poison another man can. it is
claimed bv theso officials, be traced
to Marx.
Tho bodies of two of Marx's alloyed
victims, J oo Pa vol and Joe Palm,
have been found. Marx is awaiting
trial charged with tho murder ot
I'avol, his wifo bolng held as a wit
ness, for the state. Tho two bodies
for which tho search was begun are
those of an eighteen year old boy and
a Ilebrow pedlar.
The boy, who was known as Harry,
arrived In New York from Russia
about throe years ago and he camo
hero soon after to work for Marx.
IIo worked on the farm about six
months and then suddenly dlsap
pfarpd. Marx said ho had gone to
Ilartlord to find employment.
The Herbew pedlar went to tho
Marx farm ono evening two years
.igo, and ho has not boen seen active
since so far as known.

ST. PETERSHURO.-Tho news
of the occupation of Liao Yang and
the withdrawal of the Russian army
to tho right bank of tho Taltse river
reached only a small section of tho
peoplo of St. Petersburg at a lato
hour and caused intunso excitoment
and disappointment. The majority
of the Inhabitants retlrod to rest
believing that .Russian arms had
been successful, and that the Japan
ese attacks had been repelled. Ugly
suspicions, however, havo been rife
during tho day owing to the absenco
of press telegrams from Liao Yang,
leading to tho belief that communi
cations had been cut by General
Kuroki.
"General Kurokl's army crossed
o tho right bank of the Tall so
liver and it therefore bocamo neces
sary for tho Russlans'.to be in a posi
tion to repeal a. blow In this direc
tion. "In view of tills develnpeinent In
the operations General Kuropatkin
decided to abandon his positions on
the left bank and to concentrate his
whole army on tho other side of the
liver. This position ts the strongest
both in charatcer and in site. The
gieat issue will be linally decided
there.
"Uy withdrawing to this position,
the Russian army avoids the neces
sity of being divided by the river
and onjovs tho advantago of com
pactness. "General Kuropatkln's move,
therefore, Is nob to bo considered as
a retreat, but rather as tho carrying
out of a well delined idea.
"The withdrawal of tho Russians
to the right bank involved tho aban
donment of Lluo Yang, which is
si mated oo tho loft bank. The
Japancso took advantage ot this to
occupy the city, hut the sternest
part of tho lighting Is still before
them unless General Kurokaptkin
decides at tho last hour to again fall
back to tho northward. It is more
than likely, however, that he will
decide to tight to a tinish. The
cards are all in his faror, it Is belli-
ved, now that he has tho Japanese
divided by the river, thus effect
ually turning the tables upon his
foe
"The determined pursuit by the
Japanese of the Russian outposts
when General Kuropatkin gave tho
llrst ordor to wl tho raw was probably
due to their anxiety to keep tho
Russians south of Liao Yung until
General Kuroki should be able to
strike from the northoasr. General
Kuropatkin, however, saw tho trip
and cleverly avoided it."
These preparations necessitated
the establishment of a pontoon
bridge as the river was not fordablc
lower than Sakanwantun and the
pontoon must have been floated down
tho stream.
The efforts of tho Jipancse to
cross the river on August HO wore
not successful and General Kuroki
therefore ordered a portion of his
army to ford It at Sakankankantun.
General Kuropatkin was unable
to prevent the passago of the river
owing to tho distance from Liao
Yang, about twenty miles, but for
tho same reason tho Jap. i nose wero
unable to hi ing the forces which
gained tho right bank Immediately
into motion.

TO K 10. A few additional details
of tho progress of the battle of Liao
Yang reached Toio at a lato hour.
General Kurokl's right is continu
ing to press the attack at Ilelylngtal,
seeking ground whciico tho) r guns
will domlnato tho railroad. Tho
troops under General Kuroki aio
jaded and weary. They have been
inarching and lighting slnco August
U, but in spite of tins they attacked
with spirit. Tho Japanese are con
liclent that they already have swept
bade the strong Russian force with
which they havo boon one .god, and
It Is probable that when the details
are known it will bo found that a
great tragedy was enacted along the
Taltse river. Tho Taitso Is Hooded
and canoot.bo forded. General Oku,
in command of the Japanese left
army, has directed Ills enerules to
forcing the Russians to the river,
and it Is probable that many were
drowned there.
A private dispatch received here
reports that great lires are raging at
Liao Yang. This statement is not
continued officially. Theso Hies aio
believed to result from tho Japanese
shelling or from tho efforts of tno
Russians to destroy their stores pre
paratory to tho evacuation of Liao
Yang, with tho additional hopo
if injuring the city as a future Jap
anese base.
Unofficial estimates place the Rus
sian forces in tho vicinity of Liao
Yang at lifetcn divisions of in, 000
men each. Theso are probably ex
cessive, but it Is evident that num
erically the Russians exceed tho Jap
anese. Tbo opinion that tho Russian cas
ualties in the recent lighting will
reach 110,000 Is confidently expressed
in high quartets here. Neither Klold
Marshal Oyarna nor the Japanese
army cominandere have yot estimated
the Russian losses.
It seems that the Japanese avoided
a direct assault in Liao Yang itself,
but devoted their energies to the
troops outside the city In an elTort
to cut off tho Russian retreat. Liao
Yang is stro' gly fortified and It Is
probable that the Japanese will not
attack the city directly until they
have succeeded in isolating It.
Should the Russians abandon Liao
Yang the Jananeso will of oourso
enter It.
The fighting at Liao Yang wais
continued until a late hour and. It
was resumed at dawn. The fate of
the great buik of tho retreating
Russian army hinges upon tho
bravery and fortitude of its left
Hank.
Hcforo falling back General Kuro.
patkin Intended that his left to the
eastward and northward of Liao
Vang should he greatly strengthened
in the hope of ohecking General
Kurokl's advance around his llock
and to protect his lino of retreat
and communication. The greatest
portion of this pnitcotlon force
scorns to havo been mussed in the
neighborhood of Ilelylngtal, twelve
miles northeast of Lloa Yang, where
It was vigorously assaulted by Gen
oral Kuro'il at 11 o'clock Thursday
morning. The result of this lighting
is not known. If Kuroki wins and
st-ikes tho Hank or the lolroatlng
Russian army and reaches the rail
road it will plaro the Russians In a
most seilous predicament.
