from Toklo of anything decisive Is also re
garded as good Indication that Kouropat
kin.ls free. . ';, ; ,
The officials of the . war" o'flVp do 'not
expect a renewal of the fighting for sev
eral days,- which they think the. Japanese
wlltncmploy In recuperating, while Kouro
pnlkl;v;oilects his-rmy preparatory to
pus'hfnv the troops northward. He has a

When .the fighting commences It Is expected
here tnt It will- be In the nature- of
a series of rear guard actions, as the filial
withdrawal la expected. There are "no 'facilities-at
Tental for defense.
According to the military authorities all
tCouropalkln's hopes and plane for victory
srera flashed by the wonderful celerity w.'th
arhloh Oyamu'a right pushed northward af
ter crossing the Taltse river, Here Kouro
Tatkln's information evidently was faulty

The War office professes ignorance of
the loss of guns and men sustained by
the Ruaslans but there is no dbubt that
many thousands have fallen.
The retreat of Kouropatkln has evidently
thrown everything Into confusion at the
front and the reports received are' meagre
and Incomplete, ''i ' ' '" ' .' . ...
The military expert of thb, kovoeWrcmya
says the chief question 'of the moment Is
whether Kouropatkln will succeed In col
lecting all his forces from Llio Tang and
effecting a retirement to Mukden In view
of the flanking position 'taken up by the
Japanese.
; "Reinforcement," the paper, says,, "are
undoubtedly arriving at Yental. from the
north. Our main hope lies in the possible
exhaustion of the Japanese after the blopdy
and unprecedently long. and severe , fight
ing' which practically 'continued' day &d
night from August 24 to September 8."
'The emperor has undergone a great strain
during the pant week. His main fear dur
ing the last few days has been that Kour
opatkln would bo cut off. Like his sub
jects, the emperor has . taken Kouropat
kln's defeat greatly to heart but the pres
ervations of the army organisation has
been a great relief and his answer to the
battle of Llao Tang will be the mobilisa
tion of two more army corps. B far aa
can be learned the emperor show no dis
position to blame Kouropatkl.i. ; .
All. classes of . the pppulatton are waiting
with' Intense eagerness tha receipt of de
tails of the battle and estimates and par
tlculars of the losses. Crowds hang around
the bulletin boards'. The wives and fami
lies of many of the lower classes of the
people spend most of their time In tha
churches' praying that their loved ones
may be spared. The accounts of the battle
published-In tha newspapers here are very
incomplete. Soma of- the papers evidently
have not yet awokened to the full foroe'of
the disaster;, but -without exception they
rJT to jut a brave face on the situation.'
i Theore a not. the slightest suggestion of
yielding- . Tha cry of the papers Is that
the war. must go-on until Russia la Victor,

JAPANESE GET OFFICIAL REPORTS

-.Are Brought to Order.
TOKIO,. Sopt 0.-9 p. m. A mass of
official reports on the battle of Llao Tang
reached the Imperial headquarters today,
but they "will "not be given out until It Is
possible to put them In order and make
from them a concise and detailed, story.
In the meantime headquarters Is re
fraining from giving anything to the pub
lic. It la generally known that General kouro
patkln succeeded, by means of a desperate
rear guard action and strong and well
handled flank movements. In withdrawing
the great bulk of 'the Russian army and
that he cut bridges to hamper the Japan

tions of the Japanese right wing, which
occurred Inst Friday night and early Sat
urday morning. ,
. General Kurokl then swung to the west
ward his movement being destined -to
flank tha remainder of the' Russians left at
Llao Tang Itself. It Is-believed here that
General Kouropatkln la bound to lose many
prisoners to the Japanese. It Is possible,
however, that the topographical difficul
ties and .tha overwhelming of the Rus
sians, may check this movement on the
part of General Kurokl.
Among the Japanese officers reported
killed In the battle of Llao Tang are
Lleutepant Teraouchi; son of Lieutenant
General -Teraouchl. minister of war, and
Lleutenanta Fukushlma and Muratta.' both
sons uf Japanese generals.

It Is believed here that General Kouro

Mukden, olthough there is defensible
ground south of there.
Field Marshal Tamagata. chief of the
general staff, and Lieutenant General
Teraouchl were the hosts at a banquet

It had plenty of ammunition and coal on

AMERICANS MAI HAVE TO WAIT

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 5. Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff Is being pressed by
Ambassador McCormlck for an answer to
the representations of the United States
In regard to the cargoes of the Portland
A . Asiatic line steamer Arabia and the
British steamer Calchas, both captured
by the Vladivostok squadron, the Calchas
while bound from Puget Sound for Japan.
It is' understood that the United States
goes to the extent of asking for the re
lease of the cargoes. The Foreign office,
however, la unable to give a definite re
sponse to the representations made pend
ing the decision of the commission whk-h
I examining the question of contraband
of war.
The commission la not making much
progress, owing to the position taken by
Grand Duke Alexander Mlkhallovlch, head
of the department of mercantile marine and
bro(hr-lnIaw of the emperor and Grand
Duke Alexis, the high admiral and uncle
of his majesty, who are standing out
against the American ind British view of
foods stuffs as conditional contraband, on
the ground that If the contention Is al
lowed It would be Idle to attempt to stop
contraband bound for Japan, as every
pound of food stuff, etc., which does- not
come under the head of absolute contra
band would be consigned t to- private firms
of . persons In - Japan, or else be' -sent fo
an. Intermediate port eor trans-shipment.
Count Xamodorff and" Professor D Martns,
professor of the International law of the
University of St. Petersburg, who Is presi

Tells of Bombardment,
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept, 5 A dispatch
to the-official messenger filed at. Mukden
on Sunday says:
The bombardment of Llao. Tang, which
commenced last Thursday, continued rVl-
day ahd Saturday. On those days the forts
surrounding the town withstood the heavy
fire of artillery and a brilliant assault ty
the Japanese Infantry. All the attacks
wer repulsed, mines playing an important
part In the discomfiture of the assailants.
Nevertheless, the Llao Tang fortifications
finally were evacuated and the remainder
of reserve supplies destroyed by fire.
During the three days' bombardment the
railway station and suburbs of the Chinese
town Buffered the most. , The latter was
abandoned by Its Inhabitants after tbe
town was ablaze In many placea. .
.To the east, in the neighborhood of Ten

sides, according to the be.i information,
are quiet. Trains from Mukden went south

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6. At ' the State
department confirmation Is obtained of tha
Statement in the St. Petersburg dispatch
that this government is asking for the
release of the cargoes of tha steamers
Arabia and Calchas, seised by the Vlad

a British vessel, had ah American cargo
aboard. The Stale department all along
has contended that foodstuffs not di
rectly conHlgned to tha forces of a bellig
erent fre not contraband of war, and hus
pressed this, view on the Russian govern
ment. There are no recent developments
in the case of the cargoes of the steamers
mentioned, and In view of the indecision of
the Russian commission engaged ' In ex
amining the question of contraband Imme
diate action Is not expected. The dis
position of the high Russian officials as
viewed in Washington, seems to re to treat
tha matter of foodstuffs being contraband
from the standpoint of policy rather than
from well defined rules of International

NAVAL COMEDY OF THE MURPHY TWINS
Stormy Estrsaee of Jsek Barnea lato
tbe Reajalar Arwiy BertlUo
Charts I sea Nowadays
to Make Sara."
Not long ago a luckless hotel cook from
Buffalo, who knew not the difference be
tween a sallyport and a little red school
house.'found himself a military prisoner
over at Governors Islsnd awaiting a gen
eral court-martial on the charge of deser
tion from the regular army. 'He was the
victim of the sardonic humor of a sure
enough rgular army soldler-al an up-state
post, with whom he had foregathered for a
drunk and who had exchanged clothea with
him In order to desert.
The cook lingered at the Governors Is
land prison for nearly two weeks before
a copy of the deserting soldier' Bertlllon
chart was received. The chart,' of course,
didn't agree with the measurements, moles
and marks on the cook' frame, and he was
turned loose. On his way uptown, and
probably up the state, from the Battery,
he stopped at the office of The Sun ond told
the story of his mournful experience with
an air of great depression.
Before the adoption of the Bertlllon sys
tem by the United States army and navy
mistakes In the apprehension of deserters
were annoylngly frequent In both services.
Such mlxups were particularly frequent
In the army when regiments of soldiers
were moved from one coast to. the other.
8oldlers reared In the east would Jump
their outfits rather than go soldiering out
on the slope, and the slope-raised, soldiers,
having a terror of tho eastern heat and
snows, would quit In sets of fours when
their regiments were ordered to this eea
board. The officers of the departing regf
ments would leave word behind them as to
the deserters, with choppy, casual descrip
tions of the quitters, and the newly arriv
ing regiments would keep sn eyeout for
the deserters from the deported outfit. As
often as 'not they'd get hold of chaps who
knew no more about soldiering than they
did about Shlntoism, and it, was no uncom
mon thing for some of the unfortunates to
be detained in guardhouses for months be
fore they could contrive to convince the
officers holding them that they'd never hay-
footed of straw-footed In their lives.
,!' Pnttlnar I'p a Job.
A .typical case of this sort was that of a
tcimster named Jack Barnea of San Fran
cisco. An artillery regiment, - with head-
"quarters at the Presidio, waa moved to thla
coast before the arrival In San Francisco
of Its relieving regiment from .the artillery
forts around New Toark harbor.. Among
the deserters from It was a soldier named
Jack Barnes. . ' .
It happened that there was a huge, pow
erful. good-naured teamBter noniel Jack
Barnes, who lived rear the main- gate
of the l'resldtn. Some of his friends who
knew of the desertion of .the soldier Jack
Barnes put up a Job on the teamster.
When the regmeiVtgdt" along to the
Presidio from..' Pre wTork, and provost
guards were sest-flaut -to search for the
deserters from tnV cTepafted outfit, they
tipped It off to oi:e of the searching parties
that they knew- where' -Itlie deserter Jack
Barnes could be . found The searching
soldiers found - Jack '' Barnes, the truck
driver. ' enjoylnglfjhlft, honest high hat of
steamed beer, after a -hard day's work, in
a a-roffc-erv near th irate1 of the Prealdln.
The . dcsc1ptlonifl.?tJ)e deserting Jack
Barnes fitted 3ajk Arties the teamster In
a general sort of way.vSo they started to'
drag - the ' teamster -toward the Presidio
gat.;; ..::.-V.',".V;i'-,-'--:
Jack the . tenmsten made It the busiest
dragging that: any of the members of that
provost fryerd had, fever, been called upon
to .do. He fixed upt si oof them for the
hospital long ' before they ' got him any
where near the . Presidio gate. Reinforce
ments were summoned, and It took about a
battalion of artillerymen to land Jack the
truckman In the Presidio. clink.
Jack Got' Bnsy. .
Jack was aji lnruate ef the Presidio mill
for more than a fortnight before his case
was straightened ou. "It , took about half
of the big Presidio guard, 'with fixed bayo
nets, to keep Jack from razing the guard
house to the ground wit n his nuked hands.
The whole Presidio- command failed to
get any work out of htm. At fatigue call,
every morning for a week or so, the guard
attempted to prod .tluj- teamster out of his
cell to, the front of th guard house, to step
In line with the other military prisoner
bound for garrison .work under the eye
Of .sentries. But- that scheme had to be
abandoned. The lck list became too heavy
f oi the surgeon's toleration.
The teamster -would tackle the' whole
guard, every morning they tried to start
him to work, with chairs, benches, stanch
ions pulled from beneath the guard house
veranda, the guard house stove used aa a
battering ram,, doors wrenched easily from
their hinges, anything that first came to
the huge paws of the unjustly confined
truck driver. - '
At length the man's' pals let up on him
and sent word to the Presidio' command
ing officer," Colonel Wllllan) Tdontrpse Gra
ham, of the Job they had put up on their
friend. When he received thla word Colonel
Graham strolled down' to the guard house
to take a look at the man who had put
about one-half the' members of every day'e
guard for a week In the surgeon's hands,
'Look here,- my man;!' said Colonel Gra
ham to the teamster, after telling him that
he was at liberty to go back to hi truck.
"I'd like to have you In my command. ,
You'd better take on with us. It beats
teaming. Get a - unlfonri on you and I'll
see to It that you get a square deal." .
"Well, you've got a-fine' way of making
recruits that's all I've got to say," replied
Jack Barnea, but he accepted the colonel'
Invitation to join his command, all the
same, and slept that 'night In barracks.
There are ailll In the American army any
number of oldtlmera with cauliflower eara

and the queer way he entered the, service

tached to that vehicle all that they could
attend to before they landed him there.
The Jimmy Legs from the cruiser was
signalled for, and he came off with a couple
of assistants in the steam cutter, and the
blasphemous Murphy twin wss carried on
board the ship of war. They landed him
In the brig in double irons for resisting
the master-at-arms.
Murphy the Innocent needed some surgi
cal attention when they got him into the,
brig, and the surgeon was sent for. To the1
surgeon Murphy the milkman protested'
that he wasn't Dsn, but Mike.- The sur
geon ridiculed that story and told Mike1
that he ought to be ashamed of himself i
for rigging up such a yarn, after his eight
years' decent service.
Troubles Multiply,
Mike continuing to protest that he waa
the victim of a monumental mistake,, the
Legs was sent for by the surgeon. Then
the Legs, with the saturnine scepticism
of all masters-at-arms, looked Mike over
anu told him to pipe down for a soused
sen lawyer or he d get a broken head. A
Mike, 'rons, bruises nnd all, made for th
master-at-arms p.t that, and three marine
pn guard had to be hurriedly called In to
disentangle the Innocent twin from th
Jimmy Legs' frame.
The executive officer of tho hlp, who hnd
palled with the Murphy twin who had de
serted at Mare Island, entered the brig to
tak- a look at the man who protested that
he was the victim of a twin mistake.
"Loolt here, you khlp-Jumping scoundrel,",
said .he First Luff, heatedly, to the coually
beate-.t Mike the milkman, " how do you
dare to look me In the eye and claim that I
don't know you after I put in three years
with you on the Mediterranean station, and
a year and a half in these waters? Pull up
your sleeve, you. brazen reprobate, and
show me that tattooed dagger -on your
right forearm!"
At these .words the master-at-arms
darted forward and pulled up the right
sleeve of the Innocent's shirt. There wa
the dagger, tattooed In two. color on th
milkman's, right fpre'arra. ... i..-
The executive 1 officer -1 had no' means of
knowing that Mike, in a drunken hour of
envy of his sailor brother's tattooing, had
had that dagger pricked on his arm by a
Jap tattoo artist of San Francisco only a
few .months before. But it settled Mike'a
hash.
To China he wa carried on board th
man-o'-wr. Aa . there was no charge of
desertion against him on account of his
twin brother's ship Jumping, the ship
Jumper not having been absent the required
ten days, Mlko was merely brought before
a summary court-martial for leaving, his
ship without permission, and a bunch of
extra duty waa piled on him.
They might just as well have sentenced
Mike to act as secretary of the navy. He
didn't know a capstan bar from a tops'l
yard, and when they put him to deck, re
stored . to duty or, rather, chucked Into
duty In hie absent brother's place his
situation would have been laughable even
to Mike had It not embraced so many ele
ments of tragedy his worried, wife and
young ones back In San Francisco, for one
thing. .. -
When Mike, on deck, declared that he
couldn't undertake any work that he didn't
know anything about, the First Luff be.
came sore for fair. The executive officer
was convinced that Mike waa playing a
deep scheme to get out of the navy on the
ground of Insanity. The whole ship's com.
pany, equally honest in their belief that
Mike was Dan, roared at Mike's Idiotic
attempts to sallorlse.
Mike hadn't been on deck for ten minute
before he was slammed Into the brig again,
this time on t he charge of wilfully neg
lecting duty and attempting to deceive his
superior officers; and before the ship made
Yokohama Mike was scheduled for a gen
eral court-martial oh all sorts of charges.
The persistence with which he stuck. (to
his story that' he was Mike and not Dan
Murphy might have caused hla shipmates
to falter In their belief that he was lying
had it not been for that dagger on his
right forearm. That made It seem abso
lutely certain to them that Mike wa a
brazen schemer.
The situation waa cleared and ended at
Yokohama. Dan the deserter turned up
there.
lie had heard far back in Vallejo f the
pUght of hla twin brother, Mike. So he
ahtpped aa a coal heaver on a ateamer
bound from. San Francisco for Yokohama
and give himself up on board the ship
from which he had deserted on the very
day that his twin brother Mike waa booked
to undergo hla general court-martial on the
flagship.
Mike, on being liberated, punched Dan
in a most wholesome manner before the
Jimmy Legs could pry the twins apart,
and a few daya later took ateamer back
from Yokohama to San Francisco and, his
milk business. Dan, for the decant spirit
which prompted him to make . the long
Jump from San Francisco to Japan for ths
purpose of squaring thlnga up for hla twin
brother, waa reatored to duly without pun
ishment. New York Sun.
