Cornelius Lyons, long known as the “champion died yesterday morning at 348 Fre- mont street. He was a familiar figure around his stand at 1 Brook street, the short thoroughfare running be- tween Market and Geary streets, and he always wore a broad leather belt, upon which was the word “champion” in relief. It was his boast that he had a standing wager of $1000 that he could outshine any bootblack in the United States.

At 1:20 p. m. four Russian guns of the mountain horse ar- tillery had been placed in position | against the enemy’s right flank, which they bombarded with great success, the | enemy retiring. The serried ranks of the Japanese troops developed a violent fusillade, which, however, was almost without result. “At this moment our infantry came up and four companies were thrown | against the right flank of the enemy’'s position, one company being held in re- | whigh two Japanese companies were advancing. The enemy fell ba¢k ‘undef the energetic pressure of our fire for a distance of two or three miles, evacu- ating their positions at 4 p. m. | “At the moment that our Cossack battery approached the enemy’'s princi- centrated” fire of eighteen mounted guns, and within a few minutes eight Cossacks were killed and twenty were wounded. The gunners at that time had the shelter of the nearest stone building, but odr companies continued to repulse the enemy until the main position of the enemy was reached, when three regiments of Japanese in- fantry were discovered. Having ascer- tained the strength of the enemy the commander of our detachment deter- mined to stop the advance and ordered the mountain battery not to change its position, in order not to expose it to unnecessary losses. DARKNESS IENDS FIGHT. “The enemy’s right flank took the of- fensive at 6 p. m. Our two companies of sharpshooters and a company of cavalry, commanded by Second Captain Cerderberg, having dismounted, put the Japanese battalion in full retreat by well’sustained point blank volleys, “The fight continued until nightfall. Thanks to the darkness, ,we were able to move our guns. A vacillating ad- vance of the enemy's infantry was checked by the fire of our sharpshoot- ers and the fight ended at 9 p. m.” “Our losses were Staff Lieutenant Romeiko Gouki, Lieutenant sacks Nevitoff, Second Lieutenant .of Cossacks Nikolaieff, Second Lieutenant Schifloski and Second Lieutéhant Hoff- man and twenty-six men killed and fifty-three men wounded, seven of them seriously. “The enemy's losses were consider- | omce | Lieutenant General Kodama, his chief Several bodies of Russian sailors | came ashore on the islands within the | last few days.

ST PETERSBURG, June 27.—The Japanese have evacuated Senuchen.i apparently with the object of enticing| General Kuropatkin southward.

LONDON, June 28.—The Standard's Tokio correspondent says Field Mar- | shal Marquis Oyama, who recently | was appointed commander in chief of the Japanese forces in Manchuria, and of staff, will leave for Manchuria on July 6. Not the least interesting revelation of the war,” says the correspondent, “is the unexpected efficiency of the Japanese cavalry, avhich hitherto has been regarded the weakest point in the army. Actual operations have proved that the Japanese cavalry is not only able to hold its own against the Cossacks, but in several instances it has shown itself superior, especially in the hilly distr o ¥ N S piilee Ty FLAG NOT CAPTURED.

The chief of the general field staff to the Imperial Viceroy in the Far East, in reply to the question asked by the Minister of War, stated on June 26 that the flag was not taken, but only a small ensign, which was instituted by the agtive service regulations to indicate where the commander of a regiment was to be found during a battle and during an encampment for the night.” B4 O TORPEDO-BOAT SUNK.

English Police No Longer of Belief That Missing Man Landed gt Plymouth LONDON, June 28.—The mystery sur- rcunding the disappearance of Kent J. Loomis continues to attract much at- tention from the London newspapers, and all the papers this morning fea- ture the case. The police of Plymouth now say that Loomis was drowned and that he must have fallen overboard before the vessel reached her anchorage. After a most exhaustive search and the investigation of every clew they are confident that he did not land at Plymouth. There is no confirmation of the report sent to the Central News from Ham- 3 | burg that the body of Loomis had been washed ashore near Cherbeurg, France, X gispatch from Hamburg says noth- ing is knqwn there_of anything which could give rise to such a report. Nowhere, neither in London nor Ply- mouth, has anything Meveloped throw- ing the siightest light on the situation, and where it was at first believed that a few days would solve the question of the whereabouts of the missing man, the gloomiest view is now taken. e AMERICAN WOMAN MAKES A REMARKABLE TRIP At the Head of Her Own Caravan She Crosses Menelik's Country From West to East. LONDON, June 27.—Mrs. W. N. MacMillan of St. Louis reached Lon- don to-day after traversing Abyssinia al the head of her own caravan. This American is the first white woman to cross Emperor Menelik’s country from west to east. Shé accompanied the expedition organized by her husband in November, 1903, so far as Pokum, at the base of the Abyssinian hills. Then MacMillan started for Lake Ru- dolf and his wife went to Adis Abeda, the capital of Abyssinia, where She had a -special audience with the Em- peror. Mrs. MacMillan's caravan took four weeks to journey from Pokum to ti-e capital. H The American met with every cour- tesy by the Abyssinian chiefs while on her way, and, although she traversed a country supposed to be in- habited by hostile tribes, she saw no sign of unfriendliness. On the con- trary, hundreds of supposed hostiles gathered and formed a guard of honor for the caravan for miles along the river banks. —— e FIERCE BATTLE RESULTS IN DEFEAT OF TIBETANS Natives Driven From Monastery by General Macdonald After Several Hours’ Fighting.

It confirms the reported destruction of a the Peresviet type, the disabling of a battleship of the Sevastopol class and a protected cruises- resembling the Diana and the damaging of a torpedq destroyer, but throws no, light upon the Russian plan. The entire Russian fleet steamed out within 14,000 meters of the Japanese fleet the Russians refused battle and steamed back to ananchorage outside the har- bor. where during the night the Japanese destroyers and torpedo-boats made eight desperate attacks upon it.” The Russian vessels re-entered the harbor on Friday, since which time it has failed to appear. In his report Admiral | Togo says: | “The exit of the Russian fleet from | Port Arthur harbor began early Thurs- day. The battleships Peresviet, Pol- tava and Sevastopol, the armored | crijser Bayan and the protected cruis- | ers Pellada, Diana, Askold and Novik came first, a steamship leading them,l‘ clearing mines. “A warning flashed by wireless tele- graph by the Japanese patrol brought up Admiral Togo's fleet at full speed to a series of prearranged stations. Three flotillas of Japanese destroyers and torpedo-boats steamed close to the | harbor entrance and watched the Rus- slan vessels. At 11 o'clock the Russian battleships Cesarevitch, Retvizan and Pobieda joined the other Russian ships outside the harbor. Several steamships and boats were engaged in clearing | and exploding mines, in order to make | a passage seaward. RUSSIAN DESTROYER HIT. “Captain Asai, commanding the Jap- | anese torpedo flotilla, attacked the ves- sels efgaged in clearing out the mines | and hampered the work. At '3 o’clock | seven Russian destroyers appeared and | the Japanese vigorously attacked them. | One of the Russian destroyers, which | was -hit and set on fire, retreated to the harbor byrning. The Novik at- tacked the Japanese, who scurried | away. “The vessels engaged in clearing the | harbor finally made a passage and the | Novik led the Russian fleet seaward. In the meantime Admiral Togo con- | cealed the positions of his ships and at 4 o’clock sent the third squadron out into the vision of the Russians, with the object of drawing them seaward. The Russian fleet stood southeastward | and then southward. During this time | Admiral Togo concealed his first squadron south of Gugan rock. As the Russians approached Admiral Togo assembled his fleet and prepared | to attack. At 6:15 p. m. the Russians were in plain sight eight miles north- ! west of Gugan rock. The Cesarevitch led and the nine others followed in a | single line. The Novik and seven de- | stroyers were placed at the right of = the line. Admiral Togo waited, with battle flags flying from all the tops. The Japanese fleet formation repie- sented the first letter of the Japanese alphabet, inverted. “At 7:30 . m. the Russians headed | for the Japanese and Admiral Togo veered slightly to the right, in order to bring pressure against the head of the Russian formation. At 8 p, m. the Russians changed their course and headed northward. Admiral Togo fol- | lowed in a long single line, ordering | the destroyers and torpedo boats to | prepare for an attack after sundown. SMALL FLOTILLAS ATTACK. “At 8:22 p. m. the small flotillas | swung around the rear of the Japan- | ese fleet and headed toward the Rus- sians at full speed. “At 9:30 p. m. the fourteenth flotilla delivered the first attack on the Rus- | sian fleet, now in the rear of a point | five miles outside the entrancg to Port Arthur. Immediately afterWard the fifth flotilla delivered a second attack. | The Russian fleet was confused and it | was impossible for it to retreat quickly | into the harbor on account of the nar- | rowness of the channel and, possibly, | the low tide. “At 10:30 p. m. the Russian fleet anchored in a single line extending from the foot of Wantsucing fort to the base of Chentaorhan. During the night the torpedo flotillas kept up con- stant attacks on the Russian fleet, go- ing in eight times. “The most effective attack was that of the sixteenth flotilla, which, at 11:30 p. m., caught the Russlans rounding Shenshen. The first-class torpedo boat Shirataka, Commander Wakabayashi, sent two torpedoes into a battleship of the Peresviet class. She was seen to sink in a volume of smoke and fire. Other effects of the attack were not observed, on account of the heavy fir- ing which cast volumes of water over the flotilla and the heavy cannonading which rent the air. The searchlights from the ships and forts also blinded the Japanese. : RUSSIAN LOSS CONFIRMED. “At dawn on Friday a’reconnais- sance of the entrance was made by the fourth and fifth flotillas,” whose report confirmed that of the patrol ships as to the Russian loss.” Admiral Togo says the moonlight and the narrow line of the enemy prévented his fleet inflicting greater damage. The Japanese loss was unexpectedly small. The destroyer Shirakumo was ' struck in the cabin and three of her crew were killed and three wounded. The first-class torpedo boat Chidori was struck~ in the engine-room. Torpedo boats 64, 66 and 53 were damaged. The others engaged were uninjured.

Notwithstanding the fact that two of Courtney’s men, Captain Coffin, at N. 2 in the varsity boat, and Forbes, at No. 3 in the four-oared, are out owing | to illness, there is no lack of Cornell money to-night to back her crews for | first place in all three events, the freshmen, four-oared and varsity races. A condition such as pever before prevailed at Poughkeepsie since college racing began here will ebtain to-mor- row. E. T. Foote and George Foote, cousins, are to row for Cornell in two races. E. T.
