PETERSBURG, June 6.—General Kuropatkin telegraphs to the Emper- or, under date of June 4, as follows: “Fuller reports give pa.ru‘:ularu of the affair near Wafengkau station on May 30. A detachment of Russian cav- alry, consisting of dragoons, Cossacks and mounted chasseurs, with a bat- tery, on its way from Vanzalon, was informed that two companies of the Frontier Guard were engaged with the enemy occupying a position near the village of Yendziatun. A portion of our cavalry advanced toward Wafeng- kau, while two squadrons of dragoons | were sent to support the Frontier Guards and one company of chasseurs was sent to protect and reconnoiter on our right flank in the valley of Fu- chau. After accomplishing this mis- sion the chasseurs and a company of | Cossacks formed the right flank of our | | | participate as part position. “Toward 1 o'clock the enemy began to debouch in considerable force from Lutsiatun, with the object of attacking our advance line. Two companies of Siberian Cossacks crossed the railway |in front of the cavalry and attacked a squadron of the Japanese advance guard, almost entirely destroying it in a hand to hand fight. They afterward encountered the fire of Japanese in- fantry. “Two squadrons of our cavalry and a battery of machine guns hurried up and then, retiring, drew after them a second squadron of Japanese cavalry. This squadron followed until it came into contact with a detachment of | chasseurs, wha succeeded in firing eight volleys at a fixed range into the squad- | ron, which then fell back, having suf- | fered considerable loss. RETIRE IN DISORDER. “While retreating to the left, the Japanese squadron came under the fire of a company of the Frontier Guard, which had advanced, and the squadron retired in disorder. Our dragoons came up at this moment, but owing to the topographical conditions they could not of our front, but fired upon the enemy from the heights north of Lutsiatun. “Discovering our endeavors to turn their left, the Japanese retired to a second position. Our battery got into Po on and opened a successful fire on the Japanese infantry with machine guns “Meanwhile a movement of lh«-’ en- emy's infantry toward Lutsiatun was observed and subsequently, at about 2 p. m., dense lines of infantry were seen occupying the crest of the heights, which had been previously occupled by dragoons. “Our losses were Lieutenant von Meyer, seriously wound d; Lieutenzft Brandt, slightly wounded; three men killed and forty-two wounded. “It appears from a report found on the body of a Japanese non-commis- sioned officer that the Fourteentn Dragoons alone lost seventy men. JAPANESE DRIVEN BACK. “Our Cossacks were fired upon by Japanese infantry occupying a fortified position on the heights near the vi lage of Khotsiaputse, eighteen mil from Fengwangcheng. At the outs the Japanese attempted to advan across the valley of Koaulindzypho, but were stopped by an accurate fi from our' field guns, which the Cos sacks had succeeded in bringing into position, “The Cossacks dismounted and, with the aid of reinforcements and the fire of two guns, forced the Japanese to abandon their position and retire under cover of their supports. The engage- ment lasted from 1 p. mu until 6 p. m. “On the Japanese side six companies took part, four having arrived as rein- forcements. The intrenchments of the enemy were well constructed-and per- fectly masked. “Our cavalry worked the guns ad- mirably. Tkeir fire contributed prin- eipally to our success. Our losses were the gallant Cossack chief, Strakoff, killed: two officers slightly wounded and two bruised. The Japanese losses wsre not ascertained, except that they whre larger than ours ————— EXODUS FROM HARBIN. BERLIN, June 6.—A dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Harbin, dat- ed to-day, says the attitude of the Chi- nese continues to awaken apprehen- sion. Women and th]dl‘ell are leav- ing Harbin. The spirit of the Russian troops, the dispatch says, is unbroken. Numer- ous wounded men from the Yzlu bat- tle have already recovered and re- turned to the front.

JAPAN NO LONGER FEARS THE PRIDE OF RUSSIAN ARMY o b7 i S FATIGUE CHECKS KUROKI'S ADVANCE FROM YALU RIVER Mikado’s Men Have Found|with His Men and Horses Ex- a Way of Combating With Cossacks. IR RS M. Shiraishi of Tokio, general man- ager of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha Steam- | ship Company, whose vessels were p- propriated by the Mikado for service as auxiliary cruisers in the Japanese navy, arrived here vesterday by way of Victoria and Is registered at the St. Francis. He is on his way to Wash- ington on business concerning the re- sumption of the service of his company between Japan and this port. He was met in Portland by Willlam H. Avery, general agent of the company in this country, who accompanied him to this city, where he expects to remain for several days looking into matters per- taining to Pacific Ocean traffic. Ite- | garding the probability of the Toyo { Kisen Keisha resuming service on the Pacific, Shiraishi sald last evening that he expecied that the Government would soon release all the steamers it | had taken, numbering in all about ten, which formerly plied between Yoko- hama and San Francisco and Victoria. “When 1 left Japan,” said he, “the Government had already released s eral of the trans-Pacific steamers, upon which the owners were hurrying the work of reconstruction with a view of getting them back into the regular runs across the ocean. The release of these vessels depends much on the progress of events before Port Ar- thur.” The fall of Port Arthur was certain, he said, and when asked when he ex- pected the Japanese to occupy the Rus- gian forts he replied with a smile, “You may look for it very soon.” Realizing that there is little need for the steamers recently appropriated, the Government is releasing the vessels as fast as it can spare them, and Shir- alshi predicted that it would not be many weeks before the Toyo Kisen Kaisha line would be bidding again for American business. Referring to the recent events of the war and par- ticularly to the achievements of the Japanese land forces, especially in con- flict with the Cossacks, Shiraishi re- marked that the precision of fire from the Japanese side had dispelled the tra- ditional idea that the Russian Cossack was invincible. Several years before the war, he said, Japan had sent its agents into Russia for the sole purpose of studying vari- ous methods for combating with the Cossac®s in the event of war, for it was generally Lelieved that the most dangerous arm of the Russlan military service would be these mounted men. Many reports, devising ways and means for making the Cossack attacks on Japanese infantry nugatory, were submitted by the Japanese agents to the Tokio authorities and eventually resulted in the adoption of a small, quick-firing machine gun, with a range of 4000 yards and light enough to be easily carried on the back of a small Japanese pony. With this gun goes a small tripod. It takes less than a minute for a battery of four men to remove the gun from a pony and fix-/it in position for action on the tripgd. It can be swiveled in any direction and while in action its zone is untenable for anything living. “For months Japan schooled its in- fantry and artillery in the use of this continued Shiraishi, “and to the of the men who have re- cently handled them may be attributed much of the success of the victories over the Cossacks. Japan mo longer fcars the pride of the Russian soldiery and the world will soon realize this fact when its pews gatherers have told t em of thé deadly effect of the little machine gun. The minute a band of Coseacks are sighted by the Japanese forces off cOmes the gun from, the pony and a few minutes later the rapid fire of the weapon s unds the death knell of the Czar's famous riders. To this gyn may be attributed the small number of casualties among the Jap- anese, *“n have already met the Cos- sacks, for, as already explained, few live to tell of their experiences within the zone of the death dealing ma- chine.” WAR HEROES PROMOTED.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 6.—The Novoe Vremya to-day discusses quite seriously the report that the United States intends to cede the Philippines to Japan, and argues that the far- seeing Yankee, anticipating the inevi- table future conflict with Japan; pre- fers to sell the islands instead of de- fending them, having thereby learned Russia’s lesson of the present war, namely, the difficulty of holding ter- ritory so far from the base.

On May 25 a Russian officer with seven men broke through the line of communication near Antung, evidently with the intention of making & com- plete reconnaissance around Feng- wangcheng. The Japanese are alarm- ed at the comparative ease with which this was accomplished. From Gensan it is reported that the main body of Russians on the eastern coast of Korea has turned westward, probably with the object of moving on Pingyang. —_— STOESSEL'S LAST REPORT. Dispatch From the Commander of Be- sleged Port Arthur. ST. PETERSBURG, June 6.— The! Ministry of War has received a dis- patch from Lieutenant General Zelin- sky, chief of staff, to General Kuropat- kin, dated June 3, in whi¢h he summer- izes a written account by General Stoessel of events preceding the battle of Kinchou: ‘‘The situation May 21,” says General | Zelinsky, “appears to haye been that the Japanese army had arrived before Mount Sampson, but had not begun the attack on theé town of Kinchou, which was occupied by our troops. “The enemy had occupied Kerr Peninsula and had sent large lighters to Khumeza Bay. These, however, had | been obliged to rétire, owing to the fire of our artillery. Our troops occupied positions on the southern shore o Khumeza Bay, at Talienwan, at Nan- kuenling station, at Dalny and on all the bays. The enemy’s squadron blockaded the “entire coast and fired hea¥ily, semetimies ~upon one sometimes on another: “There was a heavy bombardment of Port Arthur on the night of May 18, in! which one goldier was killed and four wounded. The Japanese attempted a landing at KerrBay, but were repulsed on May 14, losing one cruiser, which sank, “Japanese columns began the ad- vance southward on May 15 by two routes, marching from Sanshilipu, north of Kinchou, and Kotsiallnui. Moving. as they did, in close order, they suffered severely from our artillery fire. The Kotsialinul column also came under our infantry fire, which inflicted heavy losses. “As the enemy's advance developed, we perceived that they had six bat- terles of artillery and lwenly- our battalions. In view of the enemy’s su- periority our detachments began to re- tire. General Stoessel speaks in the highest praise of the officers and men participating. “A force composed of Cossacks and €hasseurs occupled the heights of Kinchou on the morning of May 17, and isolated bodies of the enemy began to appear on the mountains. On May 18 two companies of Japanese infantry at- tacked 100 of our Cossacks on the west- ern slope of Mount Sampson, but were repulsed. “Our_intelligence showed that the whole Japanese army north of Sanshil- ipu was composed of 60,000 infantry and 1500 cavalry. #Our losses between May 5 and 21 were ten officers and 176 men."” s o - UNPLEASANT FOR McCORMICK. Embassador Undergoing Petty Perse- cution in St. Petersburg. ST. PETERSBURG, Jupe 6.—Em- bassador McCormick and his wife are undergoing persecution at the hands of St. Petersburg society on account of the American sympathy with Japan. It is sald that the Embassador has re- ceived motice to vacate the magnifi- cent palace he has been occupying as an embassy and private residence since his arrival in Russia. It js an open secret that the Mc- Cormicks have suffered a series of embarrassing experiences since the war began.

He says: “The Japanese are reported to have retreated from Kinchou in a northerly direction. A change in the situation has undoubtedly taken place. It ap- pears that the forward movement of the Russian army has begun at va- rious points in the theater of war. The situation is daily improving.
