ST. PETERSBURG, May 5—General Kuropatkin has gone to the front from Liaoyang to inspect the situation per- sonally. Troops are being hurried for- ward from the Liaoyang and Mukden line to a position near Fengwangcheng. All of the Ruseian wounded have been sent back toward Liaoyang, in order not to incumber the operations of the Russian army. It appears evident that General Kuropatkin is preparing to give battle to General Kuroki’s army, if circumstances warrant. Private reports are to the effect that the fighting blood of the Russian sol- diers is up and that they are thirsting for an opportunity to avenge the slaughter on the Yalu; but, although the commapder-in-chief is greatly cha- grined at the miscarriage of his plans on the Yalu, there is no idea here that he will act rashly on that account. His decision as to the extent of the opposi- tion he will make at Fengwangcheng depends upon the location and success of Japanese landings in Manchuria. Descents or attempted landings are now momentarily expected near New- chwang and the head of Korea Bay. Occupying an interior line and pursu- ing the tactics of Napoleon, Kuropat- kin's problem will be to prevent a junc- ture of the enemy’s forces. It is neces- sary for him to await the development of the Japanese plans and . ascertain the direction and strength of the other column, and whence it will come, be- fore deciding how to fight his adver- sary in detail. TOGO MENACES PORT ARTHUR. It is believed here that the Japanese plans for concerted -action have been embarrassed by their failure to block the entrance to Port Arthur on Tues- day and a repetition of the attack upon the Russian Gibraltar is momentarily expected. Vice Admiral Togo's fleet was sighted off Port Arthur last night, and, indeed, unconfirmed rumors say he attacked at daylight this morning and that fighting is now in progress there. At least the cutting off of Port Arthur, if not the fate of the fortress, depends, in the opinion of the general staff, upon Gen- eral Kuropatkin's preventing a junc- ture of the Japanese forces. It is understpod here that General Zassulitch has already been relieved of his command for disobedience of orders and that his action is under investiga- tion. In connection with the obstinate stand .made by the - Russians at the Yalu, against instructions and in the face of an overwhelming superiority of men and guns, an interesting bit of the history of what occurred during the maneuvers near St. Petersburg last summer is being recounted, which il- lustrates this trait in .General Zassu- litch’s character. He commanded an infantry division and insisted upon storming heights commanded by ar- tillery and in the face of a fire which theoretically wiped out his command. The judges were so disgusted that they rewarded the blunder with a zero mark against the general’s name. Under the old rules and traditions of the Russian army the second and third batteries of the Third Artillery Brigade and the third battery of the Third Brigade, which lost their guns at the battle of Kuliencheng. would have been stricken from the army list forever. The names of batteries losing RUSSIA'S CAUSE | S JUSTIFIED lav-Americans Hold Rous- ing Meeting as Mark of Tribute to Czar and People Bt A A 20 SR The. public meeting for the benefit of the Russian Red Cross Society at the Native Sons’ Hall last night, arranged by the Slav-American committee of San Francisco, was attended by a great crowd of sympathizers with the Rus- slan cause. Speeches ‘were the order of -the evening. Judge John F. Davis and Samuel M. Shortridge were the fcreible speakers and _their remarks called out thunders of applause. Baron W. B. von Johannsen acted as chairman. Shortridge dwelt at length on the question of gratitude that was due to Russia from America for the favors we had received at her hands. He said there were two nations that were Siberators. Russia was one and America the other. Judge Davis made a speech of the most stirring order, which set the au- dience boiling with enthusiasm. He said in part: Russia's cause s founded on justice. And now to-day, when, according to report, she has suffered defeat, 1 want to be considered on the Russian side. " The friendship of Russia for us has been of long standing, and we should show Russia that we appreciate the position she has always maintained toward us. In the war of the revolution she was our friend, and she was algo the supporter of the | Union'in the civil war. In our war with Spain, when the Emperor of Austria suggested that there should be a continental concert of all the Furopean powers; in regard- to considering the attitude that America was taking in relation to Cuba, the Czar' of Russia came out with a firm voice and said: “America is right. She ls only fighting for justice.” When we bought a we paid $7,500,000 for it. This was no sale at all. Russla parted with Alaska because she knew we had the right o it. Think of the enormous amount of gold, minerals and furs we have taken out of that’ dountry! Why, the $7,500,000 would not even pay for the value cf the icefields there. To develop her country she seeks an outlet to the sea, and she should have it. People call Russians expansionists. Are we not the largest expansionists on the face of the globe? Japan is not fighting for her independence. Her war against China was a war of con- quest. Ruseia is right in this conflict, and the of Justice will see that ths Russians Teach the sea. I hope when the war is finally ended to see the Russian flag floatirg over Port Arthur, Great applause rewarded the speak- er's efforts. Others who spoke weie Dr. Victor G. Vecki, F. W.

' guns and those of regiments losing their colors and otherwise disgracing themselves formerly disappeared from the list. This was the case of the cele- brated Immortal Hussars in 1825, which participated in the conspiracy against Emperor Nicholas. Only a few vears ago the regulation was rescinded. owing to a realization of the fact that it would work great injustice in the case of batteries and regiments forced by circumstances to sacrifice them- selyes, as was the case on Sundey. EXTENT OF THE LOSSES. No further official news has been re- jceived regarding the Russian losses. but General Kashtalinsky's estimate, 2000 men, is accepted as representing 1m'm:tically their full extent. It is generally believed that the Jap- anese lost between 3000 and 4000 men. This Is based upon reports of eye-wit- nesses. g There has been absolutely no state- ! ment of the number of prisoners cap- | tured by the Japanese, but the general staff is inclined to admit that 300 men were captured, though the staff asserts that it has no actual means of know- ing how many prisoners are in the hands of the Japanese. Not a single newspaper dispatch has yet been received beyond the several colorless telegrams from the Russian headquarters at Liaoyang, which sim- Ply repeat the official news. Vice Admiral Dezbrazoff, who is to command the first division of the Pa- cific fleet under Vice Admiral Skryd- loff, has left here for Port Arthur. The new Russian battleship Orel, which ran aground on a sand bank in the Neva on May 1, has been. floated and taken to Kronstadt. Only a few of her plates were damaged. Viceroy Alexieff has left Port Arthur to confer with General Kuropatkin at Liaoyang, to which place the general will return immediately after an in- spection of the troops at Fengwang- of staff to Viceroy Alexieff, has been left in vhal;re of the naval forces at Port Arthurt COMMENT OF THE PRESS. The Russian papers are rather spar- ing in their comment upon the battle of Kuliencheng, evidently awaiting more éomplete details: put what they say contains no traces of discourage- ment. The Novoe Vremya says the days of patience announced by General Ku- ropatkin have now begun, and declares that the Japanese difliculties will in- crease as they advance. The paper be- lieves the chief danger now is in the attitude of the Chinese, and says: “Our diplomats must make Peking realize the danger of Chinese violation of neutrality. Russia must win, but with heavier sacrifices a heavier price will be exacted from her enemies.” The Viedomosti remarks: “It is a Japanese victory. Do not let us seek for a scapegoat. It is the fortune of war. Glory to the dead and to the sur- vivors of the heroic fight against over- whelming odds. But the Japanese probably would gladly exchange their dearly bought victory for a successful bottling up of Port Arthur.” The Russky Invalid, the army organ points to the fact that 5000 Russians fought a rear guard battle against 30,- 000 Schoengrabern (Austria) in 1805, and a century later 8000 Russians cheng. Rear Admiral Wittsoeft, chief | fought 40,000 Japanese at the Yalu. “The Russians,” the Russky Invalid adds, “are accustomed to lay down their lives when duty calls. The Jap- anese paid too dearly for their victory. It will take them days to recover.” BLUNDER OF COMMANDER. The Novoe Vremya's expert says the report of Major General Kashtalinsky proves clearly that the Russians should have withdrawn during the night of April 30, and adds: “Kashtalinsky foredoomed them to destruction. It was a miracle of hero- ism and fortitude that they escaped after staying and Inflicting such tre- mendous losses upon the enemy. “General Kuroki probably has eight divisions available for an immediats advance. This force will be joined by General Oku’s army when the latter is landed. The Japanese have every rea- son to follow the southern road, where they will have the advantage of the co-operation, of their ships. The roads are less difficult and mountainous through the Fengwangcheng district, but the Japanese must dispose of the Russian force at Fengwangcheng be- fore they can cut off Liaotung.” A high officer of the staff, who does not believe the Japanese will make an immediate advance in Manchuria, said: “They are too careful to commit such a blunder as to expose their flank to the Russians stationed at Feng- wangcheng. 1 think they will fortify their position at the Yalu and may land troops at Takushan and hold the seashore, but in no wise will they ad- vance across to Liaotung, where they might be taken on either flank by Gen- eral Kuropatkin from Liaoyang and General Stoessel from the south.” ol biag ! PRI SONERS’' BUREAU. Russian Plan for the Comfort of Cap- tured Japanese. ST. PETERSBURG, May 5.—Regu- lations for a prisoners’ bureau, drawn up by a special commissgion of the For- eign Office under the presidency of De Maartens, recently president of The Hague court, which decided the pious fund claims, are practically finished and it is expected that they will be promulgated within two days" Com- plete information regarding all Jap- anese prisoners will be available from this bureau and communications with | the friznds of the prisoners at home will be arranged. It is believed that a reciprocal agree- ment will be perfected by which each! belligerent power will furnish to the other a general report on the number | and condition of the prisoners at stated intervals, probably fortnightly, the re- ports to be made through the French ! legation at Tokio and the United States embassy at St. Petersburg.

Britons Believe That Ad- miral Togo Succeeded in Blocking Channel. LONDON, May 6.—Viceroy Alexieff’s departure from Port Arthur is inter-| preted here to mean that that place is in immediate danger of isolation and that the Japanese ~preparations for landing are considered as confirming the belief that Port Arthur has been sealed, probably by two of the sunken ships which the Russians “‘falled to lo- cate.” In this connection attention 1s drawn to the discrepancy between the Russian and Japanese accounts of the attempt to “‘bottle” the port, the former stating that it occurred about 3 o'clock in the morning, while the latter sald it took place in the afternoon. It is suggested that there may have been two separate attempts, each time with ten ships. It will be remembered that it had been previously asserted that Japan prepared twenty. vessels for this pufpose, and if this explanation is cor- rect the Russian accounts, referring only to the early morning affair, may be justified in asserting that it was un- successful. It is supposed that the Japanese will make a supreme effort to cut off Port Arthur before the arrival of Vice Ad- miral Skrydloff. According to the Daiiy Telegraph's Tokio correspondent, to-day’'s Jiji Shimpo says: ‘Our fleet has not yet returned to its rendezvous and Is still engaged in the | execution of a prearranged pro- gramme."” There is reason to believe that the Japanese intend landing their second army at Newchwang upon the success- ful bottling up of Port Arthur. The Daily Mail’s Paris correspondent hears that Russia has canceled its con- tracts for a supply of coal en route to the Far East, which were made with a view to the dispatch of the Baltic fleet. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Mall asserts that the Russian military authorities are in a state of extreme anxiety regarding the chances of saving the baggage of the Yalu army. The roads are so bad that wheeled transport is able to move only five miles a day, and.it is feared that the Japanese will capture all the stores | accumulated at Fengwangcheng. Dispatches received from Port Ar- thur yesterday afternoon and from Newchwang on Wednesday report no change in the situation, and so far no confirmation has reached London of the Japanese preparations for landing on the coast of the Liaotung Peninsula.

PETERSBURG, May 5.—This has been a day of all-around emotions. Early in the morning the crowds | around the official bulletins read Gen- i eral - Kuropatkin's admission that the Russian loss totaled 2000 men. The | public here Is strongly pessimistic and | insisted that the real number was be- | ing concealed, as are the reports of | the large number of prisoners who | have fallen into the hands of the Jap- | anese. The sensation of the day was | the arrival here of a Gensan telegram | announcing that Russian ships were supposed to be in collision with the Japanese off that port. Pendent to it, in the way of keeping popular emotion at the highest pitch of suspense, came a ten-word laconic telegram, dated Port Arthur, saying the enemy had ap- peared on the horizon, probably for a | fresh attack. Stock Exchange rumors are rife of something further wrong. . Simuitan- eously heavy selling orders came from large banking establishments, with the result that 4 per cents went down 2 point and a half. Then came a va’l.n\ telegram saying that Japan had bnugm eight transperts from the Bremen Line —not very pleasant mews. It appears now that the troops were to have retired the night after the day of the Japanese attack, without inviting a fight which was felt to be desperate and useless. The rapidity of the Japanese advance was unexpected. It is accepted fn mili- tary circles that the Japanese will soon be able, profiting by the case with which they can new bfing supplies to ay.
