Oyama Again Endeavoring to Flank Kuropatkin From the Eastward. WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED. The Japanese advanced detachments are feeling out the strength and d position of the Russian forces and Japanese flanking columns are pres: ing northward. Skirmishes beiween outposts and patrol parties occur daily but no engagement of importance is expected for some days. The Russian war office denies the re- port l\kl\ Teild Marshal Oyama crossed the Hun river, though it seems to be established that he is again ti ing to flank General Kuropat the cast. Tuesday Kuroki's forc a tempted to seize Da pass, on the road to Fushun, in order to turn the Rus- sian left, but they were repulsed. In addition to the two Russian army corps already mobilizing seven othcr ! corps are to be calied to the colors. Emperor Nicholas has ordered that contingents from each of his crack guard regiments shall go to the Far East. R LOCATING THE RUSSIANS. Japanese Flanking Columns Pressing Northward. St. Pe[e!\blng Sept. 22—While the war office’s ad not indicate that Field Ma - mies have yet r movement advance se are feeling out the streng position of the Ru and Japanese flanking columns are a ready pressing northward. The re- ports that a battle at Mulkden is immi- ment are, however, regarded as prem ture. Al {hat seems to be definitel established is that Oyama is again « saying to flank General Kurop: from the east. His advance forces seeking to obtain command of roads leading twenty to th east of Mukden. Tuesday tempted to seize Da pass, on the to Fushun, in order fo turn the Rus slan left, but they were repulsed. In addition to the two Russian corps already mobilizing seven other corps are to be called Lo the colors. CHECK TURNING MOVEMENT. Russians Repulse a Small Japanese. St. Petershurg, Sept. 22—General Kuropatkin, telegraphing under 1Tucs day's date, declares that the situation at the front is unchanged. He de- scribes an outpost fight Tuesday at Da pass, half way befween Lentsiap- utze and Sintsintil panese force, consisting of four up from Dziantchan, miles northeast of Saimad to capture the pass and turn the Ru sian left flank, but the Russians r pulsed the attack and the turning movement was checked by Russ v, supported by machine guns. ceipt of the news at Tokio of the march of the Japanese from Dzi- antchan was the probable origin of the rumor that Kuroki had crossed the Hun river, which runs twenty miles north of Da pass. The most reliable information does not indicate the resumption of the Jap- anese offensive for some days. SLOWLY PUSHING NORTHWARD. detachments uf the Force of Jap Advance in Daily Touch With Rus- sian Patrols. General Kuroki's Headquarters in the Field, via Fusan, Sept. —The Japanese are slowly pushing mnorth- ward. The outposts are in touch near Yentai and skirmishes between out- posts and patrol parties occur daily. It is believed that the Russ E gathering a force at Yentai prepara- tory to making a strong stand for the protection of the coal mines. The Japanese are rapidly changing the guage of the railroad from New- chwang and probably it will be in operation to Liaoyang in a fortnight. They are rushing forward supplies of ammunition. ALONG THE HUN RIVER. Great Battle Expected to Occur There Shortly. Paris, Sept. 22.—A di ‘Temps from Mukden sa Russians executed reconnaissances Monday which developed that the main army of the Japanese is about twenty- two miles southea under General Kuroki, with two divisions at Yentai. The Japanese junks turned back after succeeding in getting up the Liao river almost to Sinmintin. A great battle is expected along the Hun river, which fronts both sides. REPORT PROVEg UNTRUE. patch to the General Kuroki Not Yet Across the Hun River. St. Petersburg, Sept. 22.—The re- ports that General Kuroki had crossed the Hun river at Fushun turn out to be false. The Russians strongly hold the road to Fushun and Bentsiaputze. It is pointed out that if the Japane: had occupied Fushun the Russians would have been compelled to evacu- ate Mukden, since Fushun is nearer to Tie pass. GOING TO THE FAR EAST. Contingents From the Czar's Crack Guards Regiments. St. Petersburg, Sept. 22.—The em- peror has decided that his crack guards regiments shall be represented at the front and has ordered that con- tingents from each of the regiments shall go to the Far East. KING PETER CROWNED. Coronation of Servian Monarch Occurs at Belgrade. Belgrade, Servia, Sept. 22.—Peter Karageorgevitch was ¢rowned king of Ser during the day. There was no hostile demonstrations and no attempt to carry out the numerous threats against the new Kking's life. In the solemn ritual of the Greek church and in the elaborate state procession which preceded and followed the coronation the tragedy of Servia's previous ruler found no echo. Amid the thunder of the saluting guns from the royal pal- ace and the garrison King Alexander’s murder was at least outwardly for-| gotten. 3 Here and in every garrison town in| Servia the dawn of day was marked by a salute of twenty-one guns and/ before the sun was well up King Peter, on horseback, rode out from the pal- ace. The brilliant procession then started for the cathedral through the | trocp lined streets. Behind the sol-| diers were packed dense crowds who, in spite of the rainy weather, stood patiently awaiting to see the king. Beside King Peter rode his two souns, George and Alexander. The cathedral was reached shortly after 8 o'clock. There the represeniatives of the for-| eign powers, the cabinet ministers and others had already been waiting for| some time. As King Peter entered the metropolitan consecrated him and more artillery salutes were fired. The king then took his position under a canopy and the metropolitan, assisted by many bishops and other clergy, commenced the solemn service, .tho | choir slnging “Thank Thee, Our Lord.” After the prayer the premier and other | ministers handed the crown and re- galia to King Peter. He kissed the crown, placed it on his head and robed himeelf in the royal garments. An ar- tillery salute of 101 guns then an- nounced to the people of Belgrade that King Teter had been crowned. BOTH ARMIES NOW RESTLD IMPRESSION GROWING AT TOi!0 THAT GREAT BATTLE IS IM- MINENT AT MUKDEN. Tokio, Sept. 22.—An impression iy growing generally that an engagement will soon take place at Mukden. Gen- eral Kuropatkin is evidently preparing to make a determined resistance io any attempt to dispossess him an! is entrenching and constructing defenses. He has an immense force available, but the opiuion is expressed that Tie D would be a more favorable loca- tion for defcns The Rtussians, how- ever, are unwilling to suffer the loss of prestige which would be involved by the abandonment of Mukden. Both armies are now rested and have recov- ered from the effects of the fight at Liaoyang. They are in condition to fight and the weather is favorable for ary operations. The roads are ving and the Japanese are spcedily toring the railwa; A party of mil- itary attaches who recently came to ovang from Tokio were dragged for 100 miles in open trucks by coolies, The army is now forwarding rolling stock with captured cars and engines and the service will soon be thor- oughly organized. With the Liao river open the task of transporting men and supplies to the advanced base of operations at| Liaoyang is simple. There is much speculation now as to the extent of the fall and winter campaign. 1t is generally thought that Field Marshal Oyama will continue pressing Kuropatkin back until the winter falls and will then strongly guard his advance line until spring. The Japanese carried on an aggressive campaign against the Chinese during the winter, but conditions are differ- ent in this war. A renewal of the attack upon Port Arthur on newer and more aggressive lines is expected this week and it is predicted in well informed quarters that the reduction of that fortress will be accomplished within ten days or a fortnight. The authorities continue silent con- cerning operations there. The publi- cation of a small list of casualties in the naval brigade operating on land is the only recent official utterance in reference to the siege. HEAVY LOSS OF OFFICERS. Russians Suffered Severely at Battle of Liaoyang. St. Petersburg, Sept. 22.—The offi- clal returns issued up to date of the casualties among the Russian officers al the baitle of Liaovang show them to be 465 killed and wounded, includ- ing 6 generals and 39 field officers.

Democratic Chairman Taggart Back in New York. New York, Sept. 22.—Chairman Tag- gart of the Democratic national com- mittee, who has returned from the West, said that he is perfectly satis- fied with the conditions as he found them there. “I have not seen Indiana in better “Neither the Demo- cratic party nor the Republicans have become very enthusiastic in Indiana ap to the present time. Both sides have been organizing and I feel very much gratified at the condition of Democratic organization there. “At Chicago a sort of open conclave was held. From the reports received %y me I am positive that Illinois is ex- zellent debatable ground.” Two Montana Conventions. Helena, Mont., Sept. 22.—The Labor party state convention during the day appointed a committee to confer with a committee from the Populist con- vention, also in session here." conventions then took a Tecess. | note, ASKS VIEWS FROM HAY British Officials Will Consult the American Secretary As To Contraband. United States and English Goy- ernments Continue to Act ldentically. London, Sept. 22.—RBefore making further representations to Russia re- specting the character of the goods in- cluded in the list of absolutely con- traband of war the British govern- ment proposes to ascertain the views of Secretary Hay in order that the two governments may continue to act identically in the matter. Mr. Hay's the contents of which were known and thoroughly approved by the foreign office, calls forth flattering comments from all quarters. The press is especially complimentary, the St. James Gazette calling it “a re- markable specimen of that directness which habitually characterizes the government at Washington in dealing with other governments and that ca- pacity for plain speaking—however disconcerting it may be to the tradi- tional habits of diplomacy—one which might be cultivated to advantage by Downing street, for it rarely fails to produce effects which are not always the result from suaviter in modo.” The Westminster Gazette describes the note as a very firm and pointed declaration, adding: “Happily Russia had given way as regards food. But it is quite as im- portant that the doctrine should be made sure in the case of such articles as cotton.” BRITISH OFFICIALS SILENT. Decline to Discuss Russian Protest Against Tibetan Treaty. London, Sept. 22.—The foreign office here d nes to discuss the Russian commu ation respecting the Tibetan treaty. Russia eking to establish whether the published version of the treaty is correct and if so she will lodge a formal protest at the British foreign office, as announced from St. Petershurg Tuesday, and energetically object to its ratification and recogni- tion by other powers. It is claimed by the British foreign office that it is essential that Great Britain should have guarantee for the faithful performance by Tibet of the obligations incurred as a result of the expedition and it is again asserted that the permanent occupation of Tibet is not intended. The Russian inquiry thus far has net been supported in any quarter. Germany has no interest in Tibet, so it aid at the German em- bassy here, and it is not expected that she will take any action in the matter. STEERAGE RATES ADVANCE. Atlantic Steamship Lines Appear to Have Ended War. London, Sept. 22.—The line bas announced that its steerage rates to America have been advanced to $15, thus following the example of the North German Lloyd and Ham- burg-American lines, which tool simi- lav action Tuesday.

Liverpool, Sept. 22.—The streets leading to the steerage offices of the transatlantic steerage companies were blocked during the day by thousands of emigrants clamoring for a last chance to get to America for $10, the reports that the rate was was over being generally believed.

The American line steamer Merion was filled up with the last $10 batch for Philadelphia. REPUDIATE AGREEMENT. Augustinian Friars Object to Plan of Philippine Payments. Manila, Sept. 22.—The Augustinian friars have repudiated the agreement made in Rome between the late Pope Leo, the late Archbishop Guidi, apos- tolic delegate to the Philippine islands, and former Governor Taft that the money paid by the United States in hase of the friar lands should remain in the islands and have re- quested that the payments to them be made in drafts on London banks, THREE GENERALS DIE.

Friedrichsruke, Sept. 22.—The fu- neral service over the remains of Prince Herbert - Bismarck, who died here Sept. 18, took place during the day.
