LONDON, May 1 A dispatoh to the
Central News from St. Petersburg today
Bays the Japanese landed at Port Adams,
on the west coast of the Llao Tung penin
sula, as well as at Pltiwo.
Port Adams Is situated about fifty mile
from Port Arthur, at the head of Society
bay, and on the railroad connecting Port
Arthur with Mukden and Harbin. Conse
quently, It may be Inferred, that If the re
port of a Japanese landing there Is cor
rect, communication with Port Arthur has
been cut off. Pltswo, on the east coast,
where the Japanese have landed, Is lesa
than twenty miles from Port Adams.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 1-The landing
of the Jspanese at Pltswo, northeast of
Port Arthur, is officially confirmed. It Is
expected that the railroad connecting Port
Arthur with Mukden and Harbin wilt soon
be cut.
The departure of Viceroy Alexleff and
Orand Duke Boris from Port Arthur was
hurried owing to the possibility of the
Interruption of railroad communication.
The Japanese landed In sufficient force to
discourage the few hundred Russians
watching at Pltiwo from offering any r-slstane.

TOKIO, May O.-Oaneral Kurokl, In re
porting yesterday, tells of a bloody en
counter during the Russian retreat on
Sunday last, when a large body of Rus
sians mistook a small body of their own
men for Japanese, killing and wounding
180 of them.
General Kurokl says that a Japanese
patrol, consulting of fourteen men, reached
Ten Bhang Hong May t, when a Russian
patrol, posted on a hill south of the city,
attacked them. The Japanese patrol
thereupon turned and charged them, and
after an Intrepid hand-to-hand affray the
enemy was driven back in the direction of
Feng Wang Chan. The Japanese patrol
pursued them to a stream three miles
southwest of Kaollmen, where Russian
sentries were discovered posted on hlfis on
both sides of the road.
' According to Information furnished by a
native, a body of Russian Infantry t.nno
strong, occupying a hill neat Teng Bhang
Hong, on SoAday, mistook a detnehment
Of ' their own ' Infantry1,' about strong,
retiring before the Japanese troops, and
fought among themselves. In the scuffle
110 were killed and seventy wounded, and
the Russian carts were stampeded, leaving
their loads. of stores behind.
According' to the stery told by a, cap
turfd Russian officer, who participated In
the battle on Sunday Aast, only Ave or six
battalions ot Russian Infantry . and two
battalions of artillery were able to retire
In order. The other troops ran away In a
state of entire confusion.

PARIS, May a An authoritative state

concerning the details and circumstances
of the new Russian loan, as follows
The situation has been muoh changed

the total of war expense about $261,600,000

NEW YORK, May B.-Two distinct land
ing operations by the Japanese In the
vicinity of Port Arthur nre reported In
today's dispatches to the Associated Press
According to cables from Tnklo and St.
Petersburg, the Japanese effected a landing
In force and unopposed at Pltswo, a point
on the east coast of the peninsula, about
seventy-five mil. .- above Port Arthur. An
other successful landing Is reported to
have taken place nt Port Adams, which Is
situated on an arm of Society bay, on the
west coast of the peninsula, directly op
posite nnd about twenty miles distant
from Pltswo. The railroad that connects
Port Arthur with Mukden passes close to
Port Adams and it is evident that it is
now In possession of the Japanese at this
point.
A dispatch from Washington Indicates a
landing, according to advices reported
there, at Kin Chan, or Kin Chow. This
place Is located at the extreme eastern
shore of the bay of the same name, on the
west const nnd Is directly across the penin
sula from the port of Dalny. It Is about
forty miles north of Port Arthur. The
strip of land, between Inlny nnd Kin Chow
is the narrowest point of the peninsula.
Kin Chow is about half way between Port
Arthur and Port Adams and is also on
the railroad. It is probable, however, that
this landing refers to that at Port Adams,
which is on an arm of the sea adjacent to
Kin Chow bay.

NEW YORK, May 6. The executive com
mittee of the National Civic Federation to
day held Its first meeting since the death
of Its chairman, Marcus A. Hanna. Sam
uel Oompera, president of the American
Federation of Labor, preaided.
Resolutions in commemoration and tn
veneration of Hanna were presented by
Oscar 8. Strauss and adopted unanimously.
Brief tributes to the memory of Senator
Hanna were spoken by Bishop Potter, John
Mitchell, Cornelius N. Bliss and others.
Tonight the committee on nominations
reported that a successor to President
Hanna had not been chosen. The com
mittee was Instructed to continue its search
for a president. The officers elected follow:
First vice president, Samuel Gompera;
second vice president, Oscar S. Strauss,

Henry Phlpps; chairman of the finance
committee, August Belmont; chairman of
the newly created welfare department, H.

committee, Charies A. Moore; treasurer,
Cornelius N. Bliss; chairman of the execu

Enemies of Federation.
In his report, Secretary Easley, after a
reference to the antagonism of the Cltl
sena' Industrial Association of America to ,
the work of the Federation, said:
Soclnllnio Is another organised opponent
to the work for peace and co-operation of
the Civic Federation. To gain control and
direction of organized labor, the agents of
socialism are putting forth every exertion,
and socialism, opposed to the law-abiding
elements, recognises In the National Clvlo
Federation an ally of the aelf-rtsspectlng,
restrained workman.
Thus the Federation faces simultaneously
the hatred of socialism and the opposition
of the recently formed employers' assocla-
