INTENSE ANXIETY PREVAILS
Battle Now in Progress May Put an
End to the War.
ST. PETERSBURG Even late
Monday night the greatest uncertain-
ty prevails regarding
the actual
situation at Liao Yang. There is in
tense anxiety for definite news from
the front, but even the authorities
are frankly ignorant as to whether
or not j the long expected decisive ac
tion will be fought at Liao Yang or
further north.
It is iiossible that a great battle
is now proceeding and there are
many indications that such is the
case.
If this is so, the fate of this year's
campaign may be settled within forty-eight
hourc. At the same time,
opinion is almost equally divided,
many believing that General Kuro
patkin will not make a determined
stand and that the Japanese will
crack the shell, only to find that the
bird has flown.

j British Cruisers Fail to Take Message

LONDON The efforts of the Brit

havo thus far failed. The admiralty
received laie inursuay atternoon a

announcing that none of his ships had
caught sight of or had heard by wire
less telegraphy from either of the
Russian cruisers. He was directed to
join t"c .oarcn.
In Russian diplomatic circles it is
said that it is not surprising that
! neither oi the Russian cruisers had
put into an African port to coal, for
the reason that before they sailed
Black sea colliers preceded them
with instructions to transfer coal at
certain specified points.

both reports were correct at the time
they were enrrent, as semi-official ad-
vices state that many positions about
the fortress change hands repeatedly.
The fighting, which began on the
27th soon became general. While the
Chinese were at sea August 28, the
heavy firing was resumed.

RUSSIANS WITHDRAW TO
THE
LEFT' BANK OF TAITSE RIVER.
ADVANCE OFJHE JAPANESE
Kuroki's Army Crosses the River on
Pantos-n Bridge Japanese Casual
ties, Since -August 29 Estitmated at
Ten Thousand.
TOKIO The Japanese left began
pressing the Russians toward Ttazho
at dawn Friday morning. The Japan
ese right is engaged in the neighbor
hood of Heiyingtai.
The Japanese casualties since Au
gust 29 are officially estimated at
10.000.
ST. PETERSBURG The news of
the occupation of Liao Yang by the
Japanese and the withdrawal of the
Russian army to the right bank of
the Taitse river reached only a small
section of the people of St. Peters
burg at a late hour and caused intense
excitement and disappointment. The
majority of the inhabitants retired to
rest believing that Russians arms bad
again been successful and that the
Japanese attacks had been repelled.
Ugly suspicions, however, have been
rife during the day, owing to the ab
sence of press telegrams from Liao
Yang, leading to the belief that the
communications had been cut by 'Gen
eral Kurok-i.
The following statement was ob
tained by the Associated Press from
the war office at 10 o'clock Thursday
night:
"General Kuroki's army crossed in
force to the right bank of the Haitse
river, and it therefore became necessary-
for the Russians to be in a po
sition to repel a blow in this direc
tion. "In view of this development in
the operations General Kouropatkin
decided to abandon his positions on
the left bank and to concenarate his
whole army ou the other side of the
river. This position is the strongest
both in character and in site. The
great issue will finally be decided
there.
"By withdrawing to this position,
the Russian army avoids the neces
sity of being divided by the river
and enjoys the advantage of com-
! pactness
l
General KouropatKin s move, mere
fore, is not to be considered as a
retreat, but rather as the carrying out
of a well defined idea."
The withdrawal of the Russians to
the right bank involved the abandon
ment of Liao Yang, which is situated
on the left bank. The Japanese took
advantage of this to occupy the city,
but the sternest part of the fighting
is still before them unless General
Kouropatkin decides at the last hour
to again fall back to the northward.
It is more than likely, however, that
he will decide to fight to a finish:
The cards are all in his favor, H is
believed, now that he has the Japan
ese divided by the river, thus effect-
ually turning the tables up bis foe.
GROUND HEAPED WITH DEAD.
Russian Correspondent Tells of Bat
tle at Tsegow.
HARBIN. A Russian correspondent
of the Associated Press supplies the
following:
"Fighting with the extreme left
flank of General Herscheimann's corps
commenced at 10 o'clock on the night
of August 25. with an attack on our
position at the village of Tsegow.
The Japanese attack was persisted in
through the night and by 4 o'clock the
next morning it involved the whole
line. They drove a hard attack
against General Herscheimann's right
flank while attempting to turn his left
"The Tamhofi regiment desperately
protected the left flank until after day
light, and just as it was wavering
from the repeated shocks of the Jap
anese assault our reinforcements came
up and the whole line, including the
weary defendants, charged shouting.
"The Japanese stood stubbornly to
tne oayonet attack, but finally were
borne back in the whirl of the hand-to-hand
fighting, leaving heaps of dead
behind them.
"Later a false report that the Jap
anese had carried the position brought
up another battalion of reserves at
double quick. The battalion caught a
Japanese infantry column standing
with its flank exposed and fired, kill
ing many and forcing the others to re
tire. "Our battories'opened with the day
light, forcing the Japanese from sev
eral positions in the hills. They lost
hundreds by our shrapnel fire.
"We held the position all day long,
but at G o'clock in the evening retired
in accordance with orders."

iH&U3XHE.SULTAN DEAD.' -
Former Turkish Ruler Passes Away
, y at Constantinople.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Former Sul
tan Murad V. died Wednesday of dia
betes,, from which he had long suf
fered. It was reported in May last from
Venna that Murad V.. the thirty-third
sovereign of the. bouse of Osman, was'
dying- and at the same time it waa
reported from the same source that
his adherents all over Turkey, known
as the young Turks, were secretly
arming and only awaited the signal' to
rise is insurrection.
Murad V. was born in 1840 and as
cended the throne after the murder of
the sultan, Abdul Aziz; May, 1876. In
July of that yearJMurad was placed
upon the regency of his brother, the
present sultan, Abdul Hamid II., and
on August SI he. was dethroned. Out
wardly this act was performed legally
by the council of ministers on the
ground that he was insane.
The real, facts in the case, however,
will probably never be known, but it
has been claimed that Murad was-a
good deal more sane than his brother
and one of the greatest " terrors of
'Abdul Ham id's existence was the fear
that this Turkish "man with the iron
mask," as he has been termed, might
escape from his place of confinement
in the Cheragan palace, and some six'
years ago he was removed to the
Malta Kiosk, in the grounds of the
Yildiz palace occupied by Abdul
Hamid, which is surrounded by lofty
walls. In spite of the secrecv of
Murad's removal he was seen as !:e
passed by several foreigners, who de
clared that though he had aged anu
-vas haggard in appearance, the form
er sultan had not lost his majeoUc
bearing and that he preserved the ap
pearance of a man in the full posses
sion of his mental faculties.
The confinement of Murad has been
of the crudest character. Oaly his
jailers were allowed to see him and
every precaution was taken to pre
vent any intelligence of what was go
ing on in the opposite world from'
reaching him.
' Although Murad is announced to
have died from diabetes, it had gen
erally been understood, according to'
the palace representatives, that he
was suffering from tuberculosis.
BUTCHERS' STRIKE IS GROWING.
Stock Handlers and Other
Laborers
Ordered Out.
CHICAGO, HI. The efforts of Pres
ident Donnelly of the butchers' union
to spread the strike against the pack
ers throughout all trades that are in
any way connected with the packing
house industry was only partially suc
cessful on Wednesday.
The first step was in calling out
the men employed by the independ
ent packers and the stock handlers
I that were still at work for those pack
ers against whom the original strike
was made. The total number of men
to quit work today in response to the
appeals' of President Donnelly was
about 3.000.
It was also announced by President
Donnelly that he had made arrange
ments for a strike of the switchmen
on the railroads doing business in the
stock yards, and that in a short time
the packers would find it impossible to
ship out the'.r product. TJhe switch
men, however, have refused to strike.
After a long meeting which was at,
tended jointly by members of the
switchmen's union and members of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
it was decided that the members of
both organizations would remain at
work. The members of the switch
men's union declared themselves
ready to strike, but those switchmeu
who are members of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen declined to do
so. When this was made known to
the members of the switchmen's
union they declared that a strike on
their part would be useless unless the
members of the brotherhood went out
at the same time, and they rescinded
their action.
