SURVIVORS Fifty-One Saved From the Kin- shiu_Mgru. Herald Publishing Company. SEOUL, April 30. — Fifty-one sur- vivors of the Japanese transport | Kinshiu Maru, which was sunk by three Russian cruisers and _two _de- stroyers, have been landed at Simpho Bay, sixty miles north cof Gensan, by the Onishimi Maru, a Japanese relief ! steamship sent from Gensan. It had | been reported here that all on 'board | the Kinshiu Maru were lost when the | transport was sunk., She was bound | for Songchin. — HAS NEWS OF BATTLE. i R | Washington Advices State That Jap- anese Were Victorious. \“’ASH!NGTUN, April 30.—Reports have reached the State Department, the sources of which the officials do not care to divulge, to the effect that a | great battle has been fought on the ! Yalu River, resulting in a complete Japanese victory. Details are uneb- tainable. The Japanse legatfon here has no news confirming these mreports, but they have aroused intense interest in | efficial circles. Reports which have from time to time reached the Wash- {ington Government from its agents in the fleld said that the two armies would not come into touch before May {1, and that what had hertofore oc- |curred were nothing moré than mere | outpost skirmishing and collfsions be- | tween scouting parties. It is believed {now, however, that the weather condi- { tlons in Manchuria have improved suf- | ficiently to facilitate the movements of | troops and artillery, and that the two | vanguards have come together a few | |days in advance of the expected date. The State Department's advices place the scene of the Japanese cross- ing of the Yalu at Chintiencheng, a {town on the Manchurian side of the | river, which, it is reported, was finally captured by the Japanese. The date of the hattle is stated to have been last Tuesday and the delay in re- ceiving the news is ascribed »to the absence of telégraphic facilities in this remote quarter of Manchuria. Chintiencheng has been described as ia walled town. It is situated about ten miles north of Antung, on the river, and recent dispatches from the Far East said the Russians had erect- ed strong fortifications there. It has been reported that Russia has 50,000 men on the Yalu, and 20,000 men, according to recent dispatches, were concentrated at-Antung. The first Rus- slan line of defense ran from Chintien- cheng, on the north’ through Antung to Tatungkau, twenty-five miles to the southwest. | It has been | on this line did ndt comprise the main Russian force. The second line of de- fense was described recently as run- ning from Mukden to Liaoyang, some 120 miles inland from the Yalu, and a dispatch from St. Petersburg, Yated April 15, said General Kuropatkin would have 120,000 men on this line by the end of this month % SR | Military Attaches Start for Front. | TOKIO, April 30.—Fourteen foreign military attaches who have been as- signed to the first army left Tokio to- day by rail for the port of Shimonoseki. | They will sall on May 3 for an un- known destination. Members of the general staff, the Ministers and a large crowd of residents bade them farewell at the railroad station. —— Ice Breaking on Lake Baikal.

Toward midday a detachment of Jap- anese with a- battery of artillery be- gan.a march ufon Turencheng, but, ‘meeting with the fire of our artillery, they retired in disorder and confusion toward the place of their passage. The Japanese battery did not have time even _to come into action. “At 9 o'clock in the evening of April ‘27 some three battalions of the Japan- ese ‘crossed the Yalu at the village of Matoutseo over the eastern branch of the river. The night of April 27-28 passed quietly. “On the morning of April 28 our | scouts revorted that the Japanese, had occupied an island opposite Sandakou, left bank of the river. “Our troops continue to occupy their position on the right bank of the river.” ST. PETERSBURG, April 20.—The Emperor received a telegram from General Kuropatkin, under to-day’s date, as follows: . “General Sasulitch reports that the night of April 28-29 passed qufetly. Small bodies of Japanese are moving on the'right bank of the Yalu, at the mouth of which stream steamers are {arriving. On April 28, at about 2 in the afternoon, Japanese columns were seen going from Yongampho toward Wiju and a party of Japanese scouts was Seen on a mountain southward of Sin- diaju. The Japanese have not yet un- dertaken any active operations.” The absénce of telegrams from Rear Admiral Yeszen to-day was regarded at the Admiralty as proof that the Japanese have not attempted to hom- bard Vladivostok. It is understood that Vice Admiral Choukin, ,now commanding the naval cadets’ school, will succeed Viee Ad- miral Skrydloff as commander of the Russian Black Sea fleet, and that Ad- miral Korsakoff will succeed Admiral Choukin. . Russia has called"the attention of the Peking Government to reports received from Russian military authorities in- dicating tHat Japanese officers are making their way through Mongolia to the railroad near Harbin, with the in- tention of destroying it. The officers who were executed ten days ago at Harbin came thfough Mongolia. As a result of his investigations Em- bassador McCormick finds that, exclu- sive of §70 Japanese on the island of Saghalien, the total number of Japa- rese in Siberia is 351, of whom sixty- three: are in the’grovince of Amur, chiefly at Port Zeya; 280 in the pro- vince of ‘Primorvsk,. ¢hiefly at Niko- laievsk, and a major and his wife, five scldiers, two merchants and an inter- preter, under arrest as spies. They are being concentrated at Stretinsk, Whence,” as soon as navigation is opened, they will be forwarded to Ir- kutsk. , From there they will go to Berlin via the Black Sea, the Russian authorities desiring to transport them S0 far as possible by water. Without a dissenting voice the Rus- sian press approves of the decision of the Government, as announced in its circular note, not to permit mediation and warning the powers that they must keen their hands off when the terms of peace are settled. The Svet says: “‘All Russia heaves a sigh of relief. ‘We are going to establish ourselves on the Pacific without sharing the spoils of victory with others.” An official announcement is gazetted to-day. exnlaining that the Emperor is refusing all applications of foreigners for permission to serve as volunteers in the Far East, because he considers that the life and strength of the indi- vidual belong, above all, to his native country. The popular enthusiasm over the survivors of the Variag and Korletz continues. To-day immense crowds witnessed their departure on board an imperial vacht to Kronstadt, where they will be entertained. R MR ONLY OUTPOST AFFAIRS. Russians Say No Decisive Engage- ment Has Been Fought. ST. PETERSBURG, April 30.—The reported big Japanese victory on the Yalu is pronounced here to be impos- sible, unless the Japanese chose to in- terpret their practically unimpeded passage of the river as a great victory. As the Russians have little more than observation outposts, with a few guns, to harass the crossing of the Japan- ese, anything beyond skirmishing is declared by a member of the general staff to have been out of the question. Liaoyang is connected by wire with the headquarters of the general com- manding the outposts and it is pre- sumed that the commander would re- pcrt immediately any incident of im- portance. All news from the front indicates that the armies of General Kuroki and General Oku, comprising about 100,000 men, are being rapidly pushed forward and will be thrown across the Yalu as speedily as possible. Japanese trans- perts have appeared at the mouth of the river and supported by a few war- ships will assist in the operations. The | Japanese seem to be following closely the tactics pursued by them Chino-Japanese war, havi already occupied Kulienchang, above Antung, where they crossed in 1895. The beginning of serious land fight- dng is considered to be not far distant, although a heavy movement of troops may not begin for several days, not- withstanding the Japanese are cross- ing at several places above Wiju. It is believed that the Japanese anticipated more resistance on the Yaiu than they met with, and for this reason their armies were not in a position to cross at the moment the advance guard forced a passage. With the advanced body sorae guns were hurried over and ‘having screened advance posts on the | during the , to the Japanese on the Yalu, it is evi- dent that the latter expected a show of defense on the river, and some sur- Prise is manifested even here that prac- tically no attempt was made to Im- pede the enemy’s forces. In explana- tion of this it is significantly intimated by members of the general staff that General Kuropatkin had some secret plans and that the Japanese may soom find- themselves in a trap. General Kuropatkin's skill as a strategist is a thing in which the Russian army re- poses blind faith. “Wait until the denouement,” offi- cers of the general staff say. They consider that General Kuropat- kin's skill as a strategist approaches \real genius. Many of the officers | claim that, as chief of staff, General § | | Skobeloff, and they delight to tell how, years ago, during the big field maneu- vers at Moscow against Grand Duke Sergius, he drew the whole of the Grand Duke’s artillery into an ambus- stroke. over their men and baggage and to | prepare for an advance upen the first Russian line, which is strongly posted at Fengwangcheng, fifty miles west of the Yalu, on thé Peking road. The general staff does not believe that it will be possible for the Japan- ese to deliver successful frontal at- tacks on this position, the country be- ing exceedingly difficult and also fa- vorable for disastrous ambuscades. The meémbers of the staff are in- clined to believe the Japanese will try a flanking -movement to the north- ward, but say that if they do so it can only be a diversion, owing to the bad conditiorf in which the roads will be for the next fornight. The talents of the respective commanders as strate- gists, it is expected, will be demon- strated by a series of moves and coun- termoves. Within the last few days General Kuropatkin has advised the Emperor that he is well satisfled with the dis- positions made of the Russian troops to meet the Japanese advance upon the Fengwangcheng line. He also has made a favorable report on the strength of the Haicheng line, above Newchwang, and the conditions on the Liaotung Peninsula. It is said that General Kuropatkin, upon his arrival at Liaoyang, doubted the expediegcy of hoiding that place, but he is now convinced that it should and can be held. While it is admitted that the Japanese may be able to land at several places on the peninsula, and even cut the railway, it is belleved that they will not care to take the risks in- volved in sach movements. Vice Ad- miral Togo could easily hold the Rus- sian fleet in port during the disem- barkatlon of the Japanese troops, but to insure their safety afterward he would be compelled to maintain con- stantly a superior force outside th# harbor to prevent the possibility of the Russian fleet seizing the Japanese base and cutting off communications, leaving them to sustain, unsupported, a land attack. “An invasion of Liaotung would be like an invasion of England,” remarked an officer of the staff, “as Field Mai- shal Count von Moltke said: “There are many ways in, but not a single way out.” ” g LOSSES ON KINSHIU MARU. Japanese Legation Receives Official Petails of the Disaster. ‘WASHINGTON, April 30.—The Japa- nese legation to-day received the fol- lowing official report from Tokio on the sinking of the transport Kinshiu Maru: “As Ninth Company, Eighty-seventh Infantry Regiment (peace strength 150), were returning to Gensan on transport Kinshiu Maru, registered tonnage 2389, after reconnoitering Yikon and the neighborhood of Hangyongdo, they were stopped at 11:10 p. m. April 25 off Singpho by three Russian cruisers and torpedo-boats. The Rossiay then ap- proached her. “Her ship's captain, accompanied by the superintending naval officer and two other officers, went aboard the Rossiay, where they were detained. The enemy gave an hour's respite for sur- render, but the soldiers, in strict disci- pline, obeying the officers’ orders, re- fused. “At 1:30 p. m. the enemy discharged a torpedo, whereupon our soldiers, forming themselves into line on deck, which many of our officers and men perished. At about 2 a. m. another torpedo was discharged, and, hitting the engine room, split the transport in two, Some coolies and merchants had previously taken to boats and were subsequently joined by some soldiers after the explosion. The boats were then rowed westward and after ipde- Sinpho on the 27th, “There were 45 petty officers and privates, six coolies and three mer- chants.

The report that the Russians are about to enforce martial law in the | | country west of the Liao - River has| | been confirmed, and in certain diplo- | | matic quarters here the feeling that Russia is seeking an occasion to quar- rel with China is gaining ground. It is declzred here that certain Rus- | sian officials are circulating a stpry ac- | cusing China of having made a secret | treaty with Japan regarding the port of Amoy and the province of Fukien, |and containing the statement that | prominent Chinese and Japanese’offi- cials already have left Shanghai for Amoy to arrange the preliminaries of the treaty. Chinese and' Japanese offi- clals here unite in denying this.accu- | sation. Amoy is a seaport town of China, on | ap island of the same name, in the | province of Fukien. It is nearly oppo- site the center of the island of For- mosa, which was ceded to Japan by China in-1895. The port of Amoy has a population of about 300,000 and the island 100,000 more. The distance from Amoy to the coast of Formosa is about 150 miles. i gl WATCHING VLADIVOSTOK. Japanese Squadron Will Prevent Fu- ture Raids by Russian Ships. ST. PETERSBURG, May 1, 4:38 a. m.—A dispatch received here !rmnl Viceroy Alexieff eays: “The continued presence of the Jap- | anese squadron off Viadivostok has | convinced the authorities that Vice | Admiral Togo has taken to heart the sharp lesson taught him through his failure to consider the' possibilities of | mischief by the formidable Russian | division ‘at that port and is now seek- ing means to stop further raiding oper- ! ations in the sea of Japan. It is evi-| dent that as soon as the Japanese were | informed of the eoperations of Russian ships in Korean waters the Govern- ment instructed Vice Admiral Togé 1o detach a strong squadron and send it to Vladivostok to cut off the Russian ships and confine them to the harber 80 that they could do no further dam- age. The former purpose failed, owing te the celerity of Rear Admiral Yes- zan's movements.” There is no expectation that Yeszan | will risk an encounter with a superior force by putting to sea even on a raid- ing exvedit ! s RUSSIANS WELL FORTIFIED. Thousand Troops in Strong Position Near Antung. SHANHAIKWAN, April 30.—The re- ports of a big battle on the Yalu River have been given considerable substan- tiation by information brought In by four Danish missionaries, who have Just arrived at Newchwang. When these missionaries left Antung ten days ago the Russians in that vicinity num- bered 30,000 men and occupied strongly fortified positions between Antung and the Al River, which empties into the Yalu about twenty miles rortheast of Antung. There were also small Rue- | sian forces at Hsuyen and Fenwang- cheng, where bases had been estab- lished. These two places are, respect- ively, about sixty-five and forty-five miles to the northwest of Antung. The Russians along the railroad line, ac- cording to the missionaries, were burn- ing beancakes, endeavoring, with some | success, to prevent the export of this | product.
