Russians Admit Imminence of Battle in Northern Part of Liaotung. TOKIO, Jupe 22.—A division of the army under General Oku occupied Hslungyaicheng, twenty-five miles southwest of Kaiting, yesterday with- out opposition. ST. PETERSBURG, June 22.—The imminence of a battle in the northern part of the Liaotung peninsula is ad- mitted by the War Office. The week of skirmishing around Siu- yen retarded General Kuroki's opera- tions, permitting General Stakelberg to reach Kaiping, the rear guards slowly falling back on Senuchen before the Japanese advance. Meanwhile large forces are hurrying south from Liaoyang to check both General Oku and General Kurokl. It is belleved here that General Ku- ropatkin’s object is to prevent a junc- ture of the Japanese armies. On the other hand, the aim of the Japanese apparently is to drive the Russians out of the Liaotung peninsula preparatory | to a march on Liaoyang. of the rainy season will likely precipitate matters. Nothing is known officially of the re- ported occupation of Hsiungyaicheng (Hsiungyaochenz or Siyoungcheng) by Japanese. If the report should be cor- rect it agrees substantially with the Japanese plan of advance as it is un- derstood here, but it indicates that the Japanese outposts are farther forward than Russian advices indicate. The Russian rear guard is now at Seuchen. General Kuroki's advance along the roads from Siuyen, leading respectively to Halicheng, Tachechou and Kaichou, is being warmly contest- ed by General Kuropatkin’s outposts. The column heading for Kaichou is the farthest advanced, but is still thirty miles distant. General Kuroki's move- ments betray a tendency to go south and join General Oku. Kuroki's out- posts are fortifying the pass between Salmatsza and Kwandianslan. i S ARMY BASE AT SIUYEN. The approach more than Japanese Strongly Established Along Line from Kaichau to Yental. LIAOYANG, June 21. (Delayed in transmission.)—The Japanese army base at Siuven is evidently strongly established along a line from Kaichau to Yentai. Rumors of a battle northeast of Kaichau are evidently correct. The Japanese this week advanced to a point sixteen miles east of Kai- chau, but retired. It i= presumed that General Oku is now advancing to the north by the way of Fuchau and the coast road, thus enabling him to obtain provisions from the sea. Spectators at the battle of Vafang- tien claim to have seen on one oc- sion three horsemen appear on a one of whom, according to a an officer, resembling either an American or British attache, fell from his horse when the Russians fired and was evidently killed. From a reliable source it is report- ed that the Japanese in the vicinity of Port Arthur are now entirely Inactive and that the Russians are not con- rned regarding the situation there, at in the north being now the most portant factor. The Japanese fleet is probably co- operating with General Oku’s advance along the coast. Heavy rains have been falling since June 16 and have hampered opera- tions. They indicate the commence- ment of the rainy season in the south, though possibly for a month or more it will be dry in the north. S . SURPRISED BY ARTILLERY. General Kondratsoviteh Suffers Heavy Loss in Wafungko Ravine. LONDON, June 22.—A dispatch to the Daily Mail under date of June 21 from Newchwang says: “While a Russian force of 8000 un- der General Kondratsovitch was tra- versing Wafungko ravine, nine miles southeast of Kaichou, June 19, it was surprised by concealed Japanese ar- tillery. “The Russians lost heavily, alties being 1200 in number. General Kondratsovitch extricated their c: to an intrenched position.” e No Foreign Attaches in the Sado. VLADIVOSTOK, Tuesday, June 21! in transmission.)—The re- port that foreign attaches were aboard the Japanese transports which were sunk by the Viadivostok squadron in the straits of Korea is untrue. Three Englishmen, L. Anderson, J. D. Ring and W. Kerr, officers of the transport Sado, were brought here. They say that other Japanese transports are in many cases officered by Englishmen. The Sado lost $1,000,000 in English gold. —_——— LOOMIS FOUND BY HIS FRIENDS Agents of Steamship Company Unable to Throw Any Light on His Disappearance. LONDON, June 22.—Apparently noth- ing is known in regard to the disap- pearance of Kent J. Loomis, brother of assistant Secretary of State Loomis, who was a passenger on board the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm' I1, which left New York June 14 and arrived at Plymouth Monday morning and at Bremen yesterday. In- quiries made at Bremen show that Loomis was seen at midnight Saturday and that he was missed at noon Mon- day. No one seems to know what hap- pened in the inteyval. The representa- tives of the agents of the line who boarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II at Plymouth spoke to Captain George mann, the purser, the doctor of the steamer and others on board, but they had heard nothing of the disappear- ance of the passenger. A dispatch received here from Bre- men to-day reads: “The North German Lloyd Company has no information about Mr. Loomis beyond the fact that he was missed an hour before the arrival of the steamer at Plymouth. Whether it was an acci- dent or suicide is not known.’ A dispatch from Paris says that ap- prehension has .been aroused there concerning the whereabouts of Loomis and that on the request of friends the agents of the company are making in- quiries. ‘When a man asks a girl to go to the theater with him she goes around tell- ing everybody she has had another wronneal. — ——— Chinese Report Sinking of | General Samsonoff Falling| posed to Be Implicated | Two Russian Torpedo- Boat Destroyers. Say They Struck Mines at Entrance to Harbor of Port Arthur. TOKIO, June 22.—The Japanese cap- tured a junk leaving Port Arthur yes- terday, June 21, and the Chinamen on board says that a few days ago two Russian torpedo-boat destroyers, and the steamer Shin Taiping struck mines at the entrance to the harbor and sank. One hundred and forty lives were lost according to their account. ST. PETERSBURG, June 22.—It Is not betraying Vice Admiral Skryd- loff’s plans to say that important naval developments are imminent in the Far East. The Admiralty has no news of the re- ported loss of two Russian torpedo-boat destroyers off Port Arthur. The latest dispatch from the commander of the naval forces at Port Arthur, dated June 17, reports all well there. The British Embassador, Sir Charles Hardinge, is not presenting a protest against the seizure of the British col- lier Allanton by the Russian Vladi- vostok squadron in view of the Rus- ian declaration that coal is contraband of war and owing to the irregularity of the ship's papers. PLAN T0 VISIT 0L SAN JUAN To-Morrow the One Hundred and Seventh Anniversary of Founding of Mission By Laura Bride Powers. ‘When to-morrow’s sun rises over the gables of the Gabilans and looks down over the valley of the San Benito, pil- grimages will have been begun from every village and farmhouse in the country round about, wending their way over the gray roads that thread the valley, focusing in the great plaza of old San Juan. To-morrow will be San Juan’'s day—San Juan Bautista's— and in the blessed old mission reared in his honor when the West was young will a fascinating service be held. And for days past old Father Closa, almost a relic himself of the pastoral days. will don the vestments brought into the country a century ago by Junipero Serra and chant the mass that for 107 years has been sung on this day and on this spot uninterruptedly. It was one hundred and seven years ago on June 24 that the first pilgrim- age was made into the valley of the San Benito by a motley crowd of sol- diers, muleteers and Indians, under the guidance of Padres Lasuen, Martiarena and Catala. Under the shade of a spreading oak tree a temporary shrine was erected, a crude cross thrust into the poppy fleld and a trio of bells flung over the branches of a neighboring oak tree. In this simple fashion the mission was established and named in honor of San Juan, whose natal day it was. A few months later a temporary chapel of wood was erected, with a mud roof, which in 1800 was repilaced with the fine old structure whose tile- covered corridor is to-day a thing of beauty. It is in this old sanctuary flooded with memories of the past that Father Closa will chant the gervice of the church and tell in his soft Castilian tones the story of the day. And his hearers—many of whom were baptized by him, and their children’s children likewise—foregather here, partly in honor of the old priest who for forty years has stood at his post in the deserted village. When he passes well they know that the old sanctuary will no longer be the scene of weekly service—the village being too poor to- yield support to a successor. For forty years, when the winter rains are threatening, the old padre has clambered up into the attic of his loved church and with his own hands patched holes that the passing year had made. But now he's old—far too old for climbing and for heavy labor. But last year saw him at his annual tour over the roof. There was no one else to do it—no one else who cared. But the Landmarks League has hopes of taking from the old friar his heavy burden that the mission may not suffer as did its sister missions farther south. But when? The public alone can solve that. Senator Josenh R. Knowland, presi- dent of the league, who has done more for the safeguarding of the landmarks of the State than any other Califor- nian, will go down on Friday, If it be possible that he can leave town, ac- companied by a party of interested friends, who will be earnest spectators of this quaint ceremony of a century’s standing. After the church service a Mexican dinner will be spread in the plaza, or if the sun be too hot in the rambling rooms off the corridor. And at night the guitars will tinkle and the dance be on. Facing the plaza is the famous old Castro mansion and ti.z barracks of the gay soldiers of the time of Carlos III, full of color and rich ro.aance. 1t was here that Helen Hunt Jackson went, bent upon laving the scene of “Ramona’” in the sleepy village of San Juan. But a misunderstanding led thz chipper old lady—Mrs. Flynn by name, she who guards the old Castro home— to impugn the motives o the loved writer, and the negotiations ended. Else would San Juan Bautista to-day be famous and the crop of Ramonas nearer home. For which later service we may be thankful. for there are liars enough among us now. e Monument to Memory of De Monts. ANNAPOLIS. N. 8., June 22.—In the presence of thousands of spectators the cornerstone of a monument to be erect- ed by the Government of Canada to the memory of Sieur de Monts, the French explorer, was laid at the old fort, An- napolis Royal, to-day. A large number of Americans were present. The two United States warships and the British and French vessels displayed hundreds of flags and streamers, T e Ly Falls Into Well and Is Killed.

KAICHOU, Liaotung Peninsula, June 22.—Japanese scouts have appeared two miles from Seonchen (Siung Yo Shan). The main columns of the enemy are three miles in their rear. General Samsonoff, with the rear guard, Is falling back as the Japanese advance. A number of men missing after the battle of Vafangow have rejoined their regiments. The Russian losses are ex- pected to total 3500. The troops are in exeellent condition, in spite of the fear- ful weather. The roads are ankle deep in mire, but the rains are now ceasing. General Kuropatkin arrived here on dionday, inspected General Stakelberg's command and addressed the troops, saying: “I shall see you soon again. We must settle with the Japanese promptly. Till then we are not going home.” The men responded heartily. The general also addressed the regi- ments which especlally distinguished themselves in the recent fighting, and presented the St. George's cross to 250 officers and men who, were drawn up on tie platform of the railroad station and gave the commander in chief a hearty send-off. . Kuropatkin stood on the steps of his train as it moved out and waved a farewell to the troops. The reports of the Japanese treat- ment of prisoners and wounded are marked by extraordinary contradic- tions. nd In some cases the greatest kindness has been shown to the Russians, but from elsewhere come reports of bru- tality and worse. One case is cited in which the Japanese during the fighting, seeing the Russian wounded on the field, sent Chinese bearers and had them removed to a hospital. Siung Yo Shan is twenty-five miles southeast of Kaichou. A R RUSSIANS CAPTURE SUPPLIES. Take Several Schooners Carrying Food to the Jnuw. ST. PETERSBURG, ne 22.—The | Emperor has received the following dispatch from Vice Admiral Skrydloft, dated June 21: “A division of torpedo-boats, under the command of Captain Venogradsky, aide de camp of the grand admiral, which was sent out June 15 on an expe- dition along the coasts of Japan, re- turned to Vladivostok to-day. The torpedo-boats approached Port Esh- ima, near Hakodate, but a fog pre- vented their entrance. Several trad- ing and transport schooners were cap- tured. One schooner was brought to Vladivostok. The majority of the schooners were conveying fish and rice | to Sasebo and Shimonoseki.” BB s K Rellef for Russian Wounded. ST.

Breen, one of the pioneer women of Northern California, died at her home in Crescent City on June 16 dt the age of 68 years. Mrs. Breen was born in St. Johns, Newfoundland. Her maiden name was Margaret M. Lacy and she was mar- ried to John Breen in the city of Bos- ton in 1863, coming to California in the same yvear. In 1881 Mr. and Mrs. Breen with their family moved to Crescent City, where they have since resided. A kind and loving wife, a devoted mother, a true friend, has been called to rest. She was a good Christian and the only monument she desired was her con- sclousness of having done good to her fellow creatures. She took the bitter cup of life as it was presented, tem- pered by the hand of a wise Provi- dence, thankful for the good, patient for the evil and never inquiring why the latter predominates. Kind, thoughtful and gentle to the end, she quietly, peacefully passed over the dark river away out upon the endless, mystical delta of the beyond, over the trackless trail where so many have Weceded her, leaving to mourn her death a beloved husband and three de- voted sons, J. J. Breen, John R. Breen and William F. Breen. e e—— OPPOSE INSTRUCTION. Democrats of Vermont Send Untram- meled Delegation to St. Louis.

Thomas let drop some remarks in a shooting gallery which were over- heard by James Hudspeth, a negro, and ‘were reported to the police. ‘The story is a strange one and savors of an old-time detective plot. The ne- gro was in a shooting gallery on Grant avenue, near Geary street, and hap- pened to make several bullseyes. Thomas was standing near by and' casually remarked that the negro was | a good shot. es, T shoot very well at times,” said Hudspeth. “Well, that may be,” said Thomas, “but you are not a marker to an old pal of mine. He dropped two coppers | in Denver one night and it was a | pretty piece of work.” L This statement was so bold and came with such suddenness that Hudspeth was interested. He was a resident of Denver at the time and knew the facts of the case thoroughly. He gradually drew Thomas into conversation, and the latter made some sfartling admis- sions. ‘When he perceived that Hudspeth was familiar with the case Thomas grew suspicious and beat a hasty re- treat from the shooting gallery. Huds- peth followed him down Grant avenue and at the corner of Geary street ‘he met Patrolmen Brady and Duffy and related the strange tale to them. The policemen arrested Thomas and took him to the City Prison. There he gave the name of George Clare, and later that of Henry Clay. When first arrested he said he was John Thomas of Seattle and that he had never been in Denver in his life. He was closely questioned at the City Prison, but gave an evasive answer to every interrogation, refusing to tell| where he came from or where he re-| sided. When the mention of the murder | of the two policemen in Denver was| made the prisoner grew deathly pale| and became nervous, clutching at the| iron railing for support. His name was placed on the detinue book and he will be held until the local police communicate with the Denver authorities and find out further facts| regarding the case. The prisoner is supposed to be either the man who did the shooting or else a “pal” of one | Llewellyn, who was a noted bad man | of Denver at the time the crime was committed and who the police authori- | ties belleved fired the fatal shot. Thomas is a man between 35 and 40 years old. He is about § feet 9 inches in height and weighs about 190 pounds. He wears a sandy mustache and his| hair is of the same hue. He looks like a typical criminal and his manner de- | notes the bad man. His face bears a| | dissipated look and from all appear-| ances he is a degenerate whom the| casual observer would pick out for a| criminal at first sight. — e SEVERAL ARMY OFFICERS TO GO ON RETIRED IJST!

Carbolic acid was the me- dium selected by Mrs. Pence to take her life and her cozy little home at 1166 Mission street the scene of the affair. Melancholia covering a period of three years is the cause assigned by the rel- atives. The unforturate woman, who was but 22 years of age, resides with her hus- band, Omer M. Pence, and their 3-year- old boy at the Mission-street address. About § o'clock yesterday afternoon Pence, who is an expressman, was ap- proached by a neighbor, who informed him that Mrs. Pence had displayed a bottle of carbolic acid and declared her intention of committing suicide. Pence immediately repaired to his home and found his wife engaged in preparing the evening meal. He questioned her relative to the matter and she stated that the bottle had been destroyed. About half an hour later Mrs. Pence was found lying unconscious on a lounge in the house with an empty bot- tle that had contained the acid by her side. Directly underneath the window of the room where the woman lay writhing in agony was her 3-year-old child playing in the sand, entirely ob- livious of the tragedy upstairs. The woman was removed to the Central Emergency Hospital in the ambulance and Dr. Boskowitz put forth every en- deavor to save her life. All his efforts, however, were futile, and the young woman died at 1:30 this morning. Mrs. Pence was the daughter of Au- gustus Williams, a well-known coal dealer at 1133 Mission street. She had been married four years and is a partic- larly attractive woman. She had often spoken of ending her life for no appar- ent reason and every publication of self-destruction in the newspapers seemed to prey upon her mind. After the suicide of Mollie Gordon, with whom Mrs. Pence was very intimate, she continually dwelt upon the subject. According to the husband there was no marital infelicity and their domestic life was most happy. proctasiebintsn /AL River Excursion to Rio Vista.
