TO BE EVACUATED.
Russians Have Dcclded to Depart from
New Chwang.
NEW CHWANG-'l'hel'e is every indication .
I dlcallon that the Russians have decided .
I cldell to evacuate New Chwang. The
, troops have been leaving here all day
Jong. Forts have been dismantled and
. all artillery has been placed on hoard
trains. All the local transportation
has been commandeered 1)y the Rus
sian authorltiees.
There is current here a native rUe
more that Japanese troops are In too
Chau hay ( on the west 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 de3troy the
gunboat Sivoutch before leaving. The
, vessel is at New Chwang.
I It is reported here that Viceroy
I Alexieff was slightly wounded before
I his departure from Port Arthur. Ile
barely escaped from thdre before the
Japanese closed the lines of commu-
nication.
. The Russian general staff has mov-
ed from 1..lao Yang to 1\Iullen.
Russians here will not talk of the
situation for fear that they may impart .
part some information. They do not
consider that their forces here are suf.
ficlent to hold this section of i. " )
country. It is probable that the Russian -
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.
WARNS LAND SEEKERS.
Gangs of Swindlers Said to Be Victimizing
izlng Prospective Settlers.
WASHINGTON-An organized ban
of swindlers is actively at work In
several western states , notably Utah ,
North Dakota and South Dakota , and
also operating to a lesser extent in
the cast. These sharpers have selected -
lected as easy victims prospective
home seekers who are greatly interested -
ed In the various declamation projects
undertaken by the government.
By means ; of advertisements cleverly
worded , in which they claim to have
secured Inside Information regarding
the plans of the engineers , and by the
display of alleged copies ] of govern.
ment maps and surveys , they have
been successful in duping many unwary .
wary homeseeleers. For a consideration -
tion of from $50 to $200 these swindlers .
dlers guarantee to locate settlers upon
the best irrigable lands under the
government worles.
Notwithstanding that the government .
ment some time ago issued a circular
warning the people against being taken -
en in by just such frauds , the swin-
dung goes right along and the sharks
are reaping a rich harvest. It should
be clearly understood that these sharp.
ers have no Inside information. Their
maps are mere township plats or
rough drafts such as can be obtained
from the land office. The swindlers
have no data other than any intending
settler can obtain upon request of the
department.
Reports Not Confirmed.
LONDON.--Thus far no confirmation .
tlon has reached London of the reported -
ported battle near Liao Yang. One of
the explanations of the restoration
of the Port Arthur railroad suggested
here is that the landing of the Japanese
at Pitsewo. was interrupted by a gale ,
which compelled their temporary retirement -
tirement to the coast or that the Japa.
nese are allowing the line to remain
open for the removal of non.combatants
from Port Arthur prIor to the bombardment .
bardment which is about to begin.
