BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1904. 2 TEN CENTS PER WEEK HEAVY L0SS TO JAPS BAID TQ HAVE SUFFERED SEVEN THOUSAND CASUALTIES IN PORT ARTHUR ASSAULT. ENGAGEMENT BEGAN ON SEPT. 19 RUSSIANS FORCE ENEMY TO RE- TIRE FROM SEVERAL FORTS AFTER SEVE\RE FIGHT. Chefoo, Sept. 29.—Russians residing here claim to have received informa- tion that the Japanese losses in the last assault on Port Arthur, which be- gan Sept. 19, were 7,000. A Chinese who left the fortress on Sept. 2 that the Russian losses were between 500 and 600. This Chinaman says that the Japan- ese were unable to remain in the three supplementary forts which they cap- tured and that they retired at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Sept. 26, after en-| during several days of tremendous fir-| ing from the inner forts. He adds that the Russians attempted to bury the dead of both sides at night, because the decomposing bodies st ously menace the health of the garr { son. The Russians allege that it is the deliberate pol of the Japanese ! to undermine the health of the Russian | troops by means of the odors from the decomposing bodies and that for this| reason they fire on the burial parties. Fire on Burial Parties. One Chinese, who was a member of a burial party, says that the Japanese fired when he and another Chinese attempied to bury the dead. He adds that when the wind carries the odors toward the Japanese the latter retir Chinese say that most severe at- ‘ks were made on the supplementary forts of the Itz and Anshu mountain forts. The Rus: had undermined the mouml and several hundred Jap- N 3. Re- blown up on Sept. 2 ved from the Miaotao i ands mention a terrific report which shook the houses there on that date. The R n ships, it is reported, took no part in the battle. From thirty to fifty shells fell daily in the Chines new fown. One shell tore the rudd from a torpedo boat destroyer. The Russians are now building a new fort on Liaoti promontory bea: ing on the island side. Its constr tion indicates that five large guns wi form the nuc louq of the battery.

The Russians meanwhile are send- ing reinforcements south from Kap-| san to efiect a junction with the forca | at Pulkchien. During the h,t! ed at JAPS CAPTURE | THE DA PASS Important Pass, Forty-five miles North- east of Liao Yang, Now in Hands of the Japanese Forees. St. Petersburg, Japane: Sept. 2 9,—Reports received here from Mukden say that the se have captured Da Pass, forty-five miles northeast of Liao Yang. The position had been strongly fortified by the Russians and was regarded as one of the most important between Liao Yan Russians evacuated the pass without serious resistence. and Harbia. It is said that the WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED. General Kuropatkin reports sharp skirmishes with the Japanese forces north of Mukden. Tighting between the outposts of the two armies is almost continuous and the movements of the Japanese indicate that they expect to cut off Kuropatkin’s retreat to Harbin or Tie pass hefore closing in upon Mukden. Reconnaissances by the Russian troops have established the fact that the main Japanese forces are suill along the branch railroad to the Yec.. tz2i mines. Both sides are in consta coatact.

DELAY IN GENERAL ADVANCE. Marshal Oyama’s Plans Evidently Not Yet Perfected. St. Petersburg, Sept. 29.—The latest official-advices from the front a:e si- lent on the subject of the Jaianese frequent en-| g ans have cap-' flanking movements east and west of | Mukden, from which the war office con- ; cludes that Field Marshal Oyama has not yet begun to press his advance from Sianchan or up the Liao River | valley,” indicating that there is still | further delay in the general advance. The Associated Press is now author- ized to definitely deny the statement that the Japanese in any force have crossed the Hun river about fifty miles from Mukden. There is no evidence that the Japanese turning movement is nearly so extended. The only Jap- anese at ihis point are the scouts re- ported in these dispatches Sept. 26. Accerding to information brought in by Russian scouts the main Japanese forces are still concentrated along the Yentai branch railroad and reinforce- ments are st crossing the Taitse river, using two pontoons at Bensilu, five miles due east of Yentai station. From the latier fact it would appear that the preparations for the Japanese advance are more backward than here- tofore supposed. ‘The information received at the war office concerning the situation at Port Arthur is not reassuring. The block- ade at last seems to be effective. Ad- miral Togo's ships are arresting all the junks which try to enter the har- bor and are sending them to Port Dalny. It is feared that this complete Isolation may react on the spirits of the garrison. ! ANOTHER DOMESTIC LOAN. i Japanese Government Will Issue $40,- 000,0C0 at Five Per Cent. Tokio, Sept. 29.—The government ' has decided to float another domestic oan of $40,000,000 on conditions simi- lar to the last. The issue price will be 92 and the interest 5 per cent. Business conditions indicate a heavy subscription. The minister of finance | will meet the bankers of Tokio Thurs- day and of Osaka and Nagoya on Sat- urday to discuss the loan. It is probable that the conscription law will be amended, increasing the 've five years and ! making the regular reserve service to- tal seventeen years and five months. This means a large increase in the strength of the ar rmy. i | | Jap Refugr‘es to Ee Sent Home. Berlin, Sept. 29.—The Japanese re - ugees who lived in Russian territory al the outbreak of the war will be sent across the German frontier Oct. 1 on their way to Japan. The refugees con- sist mainly of merchants and laborers from East Siberia. They have been detained under surveillance since the war broke out, but the Russian gov- ernment did noT interpose difficultics to their present novement homewards. ’ Mexican War Veteran Suicides.
