SRS Kuroki Fails in Attempts to Turn the Flank of His Adversary. i et Special Cable to The Call and New York Her- ald. Copyright. 1904, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. ST. PETERSBURG, June 8.—Over and over again I have. heard anger and ridicule expressed at the fantastic | reports sent from here suggesting that | General Kuropatkin®was being forced |into a plan of campaign against his judgment. On all sides these are dg- | scribed as totally untrue and invented | by those who wish to throw discredit | upon Russia. | A thousand carts are being em- ployed in removing stores from New- chwang to a point behind Mukden. When this is completed he will deliver a crushing blow to the enemy. At one moment he contemplated sacrificing Newchwang, but the value |of the war material there and | shortage of the same at his head- quarters owing to the amount rushed into Port Arthur at the last moment made it of vital importance to hold the place until the stores were saved. This will explain much of Kuropat- | kin'’s tactics that have hitherto been | somewhat inexplicable. | " Kuroki's advance forces have made severa] attempts to creep around the | Russian flank, but have been i ri- | ably repelled by the Cossacks. Simul- taneously cruisers and gunboats have | been bombarding the Kwantung coast. sidduadss 2 2k :l'.'I'LEl.‘S DEATH INVESTIGATED. | Consul General Miller Forwards Re- H port to Minister Conger. NEWCHWANG, June 8.—The fun- leral of Lewis Etzel, correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, took | place here this afternoon. United States Consul General Miller held an inquest yesterday, at which the Chi- General Etzel was killed by his soldiers. nest Brindle of the London Daily Mail, who was with Etzel when he shot, testified that their junk was unchallenged by the soldiers and was fired upon in spite of the fact that two foreigners were plainly visible at a distance of less than 100 yards.' At least 150 shots were fired at the cor- respondents’ junk, which did not re- | ply. Consul General Miller will for- | ward his report to United States Min- ister Conger at Peking.

Copyright. 1904, T e and Sapan'is considerad slgnifbant AEL 1 L b the imminence of important operations at Port Arthur, the Japanese having taken precautions, as usual, to cut the means of communication with the out- | side world and thus enable their naval ;and military forces to work with ab- solute secrecy. No attention is paid in London to re- mors that the storming of the fort- resses has already begun, because it is known that at the battle of Kinchou General Oku had exausted his ammu- nition and an insufficient period has elapsed dufing which the stores of am- munition ¢ould be renewed and slege | guns brought into position. It is con- sidered likely that Admiral Togo is not averse to Port Arthur wasting its gm- | munition in constant encounters wWith | the gunboats. This may explain the rumored bombardments, while the fir- ing on the land side may be due to pre- liminary operations having for their purpose driving in the Russian forces. SP 5L INE S5 | GREAT BATTLE IS NEARING. ST. PETERSBURG, June 8.—The only news received to-day was that of an, engagement at Wafandien, the Jap- anese having 320 Kkilled. They re- tired to Tsienchu, apparently believ- ing the Russians were advancing in force. Transports, twenty-five in number,| with full munitions and store, are; { Talienwan. Here military critics are thoroughly | nonplused at the situation and alil agree that no immediate move will be made toward the rescue of Port Ar- thur and that the Japaneese retreat is in the nature of a feint. Two regiments of Ural Cossacks, the pride and hope of the Russian cavalry, | have been ordered to the front. AL LS 1 4 PURSU! STEAMSHIP. Vessel Believed to Have a Submarine Boat on Board. NORFOLK.

PE-RU-NA, CHICAGO, June 8.—James Cantant of Melrose Park is searching for his wife, his two little girls and his sav- ings, amounting to $1000. He declares that Charles Yuknewich is responsible for the disappearance of wife, children and money. He believes they have gone to San Francisco and the local police have asked the California au- thorities to look out for them. “I am particularly desirous of find- ing the children and the $1000. As fo! the others, I am not so particular,” 2 said Cantant, when he told of the dis-| appearance to the police. According to Cantant, Yuknewich went to Melrose Park some weeks ago and, shortly after his arrival, became acquainted with Cantant’s wife. The man called at his house many times, but he had not the slightest idea that his wife had formed an attachment for Yuknewich. The news was first bro-| ken to him when he hied to his home | yesterday at noon and found no lunch- eon prepared. He then searched the, house for his wife and children, but they “were missing. His hunt for the money was as fruitless as was his search for his family. He immediately told the police of the disappearance. { The children are girls and are 3 and | 5 years old. — e CLERGYMAN IS KILLED BY KICK OF A PONY [ | Well Known Montana Minister At-l tempts to Subdue Animal and Is Fatally Injured.
