The Russians left 1500 dead on the field and lost six guns. The Russians cccupied a range high hills north of Tomucheng (Simou- cheng), which were strongly defended with covered trenches, fortresses and covered emplacements, which sumed menths in constructing.

The two armies rested on Sun- day night, facing each other. At dawn of Monday the Japanese re- sumed the attack and by ncon they had dislodged the enemy and driven him four miles, to Laoholing. At Yangse Pass also were succ on the enemy and the infantry moved forward from Makumeza. The attack at this place was made at 1 o’clock on Sunday, and by nightfall the dawn Japanese were in possession of a ma- | jority of the Russian positions, al- though the enemy had resisted with determination. The Japanese forces passed the night in battle formation and another as- sault was made on Monday at dawn. By 8 o'clock on Monday morning Yangse Pass and the surrounding heights had been captured. General Kuroki explains the slow- ness of these actions by saying that the difficult topography of the battle- fields made it imposible to secure good | artillery positions and that the great heat fatigued his troops. The Russian force at Yangse Pass was estimated at two and one-half di- visions and four batteries of artillery. The enemy retreated toward Tang- hoyen. General Kuroki reports the capture of some field guns, but the number is not given. The Japanese casualties are being investigated, e Russia Buying Transports. COPENHAGE Denmark, Aug. 2. A Russian agent has arrived here with the object of purchasing large trans- ports to accompany the Baltic squad- ror to the Far East. BLAZE DRIVES SLEEPERS 00T Shortly before 1 o'clock this morn- ing fire broke out in the rear of three flats at 410, 412 and 414 Taylor street. One woman, Mrs. Frank Marshall, was badly burned about the head and arms. The blaze started in a pile of rub- bish in the rear of a new building at 471 Geary street and quickly leaped to the rear of the Taylor-street dwellings, enveloping them in flames. The three flats were occupled by a score of sleeping people. They were awakened by the crackling of the flames and the shouts of fire. In the flat at 412 Taylor street little Ruth Costello, the niece of Daniel W. Rior- dan, was rescued by her uncle. The child was peacefully sleeping within a few feet of the flames, all unmindful of her danger. She was somewhat over- come with smoke and was quickly car- ried to a place of safety, where she re- vived. Mrs. Frank Marshall rushed into a burning bedroom to secure her purse and was seriously burned about the hands and face. The purse, containing | % $44, could not be found. The upper flat was cccupied by O. E. Mack. The entire rear of the three flats was burned away, and the loss is estimated at $7000. The loss to the furnishings in the dwellings by fire and water will be in the neighborhood of $5000, partly covered by insurance. The rear part of the new bullding at 471 Geary street caught fire and for a time the entire building was threat- ened. The burned buildings were owned by H. Hughes and Bovee, Toy & Co. —_——— GAMBLER IS MURDERED AND ROBBED IN HIS ROOM ‘Well-Known Sport Slain in Middle of Day in Busy Section of City.

Several Tokio journals allude to the matter and express the opinion that their work may explain the safety with which the squadron so far has eluded pursuit. Some action will be taken by the Government. The transportation and commissariat arrangements have been excellently carried out, and practically the plan of campaign has been followed without modification, and so far with complete success. The Empress saw nothing of the Rus- sian shivs, although there was kept a close lookout. LIAOYANG, Aug. 2.—After a fierce battle the Eastern Russian force has evacuated Yangtzuling (sixty miles west of Motien Pass). ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2.—In Ad- miralty cirvcles it is cliimed that pri- vate information has been received to the effect that eight torpedo-boats were recently sold in the United States to the Japanese Government. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2.—The sailing of the Baltic squadron is probable within a fortnight. The Ad- miralty bas sent out instructions through the Foreign Office to the Consuls along the route to prepare for thirty vessels within three weeks. HAICHENG, Monday, Aug. 1, 9:40 p. m.—The battle raged the whole day July 31 along the southern and eastern fronts. The Japanese ad- vanced with overwhelming forces, flanking the Russians on their right. The losses of the Russians, however, were slight. The Seventeenth Sibe- rian Regiment drove the Japanese out of one position.

Czar’s Death Is Planned by Conspirators Who Slew Von Plehv Plot Is Arranged at Meeting of Assassins in a Swiss City. A b Special Dispatch to The Call. GENEVA, Aug. 2.—Russian police have evidence that the assassination of Von Plehwe, Russian Minister of the Interior, was planned vaya organization and that the death of the Czar also was a part of the plot. Confederates of the assassin have been traced to a villa close to the French frontier, on Lake Leman, where the details of the crime were The leader let it be sup- posed that he was a retired French tradesman named Duval.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2.—It reported in well-informed circles that Muravieff, the Minister of Justice, will succeed Von Plehwe, late Minis- ter of the Interior. N. V. Muravieff, the Minister of Jus- tice, is ‘a brother of the late Count Muravieff, who, when Minister for Foreign Affairs, died suddenly on June 21, 1900. He was born in 1850, and, with his brother, the late Minister of Foreign Affairs, was greatly instru- mental in the transformation of the Russian penal system and in utilizing | the vast resources of Siberia. The Minister of Justice is a nephew of the great Count Muravieff-Amurskij, the hero of the Russo-Turkish war of 1828-29, and who in 1831-32 took a prominent part in suppressing the Polish insurrection. SHANTIAKOW IS TAKEN. Japanese Claim to Have Captured an Important Position. TOKIO, Aug. 2.—It is reported here that after three days of desperate fighting the Japanese have captured Shantiakow, one of the important de- fenses of Port Arthur. Shantiakow is situated on the rail- road leading from Port Arthur to Kin- chou and is between Ingentzi Bay and Victoria Bay, but is closer to the for- mer than to the latter. Roughly speak- ing, Shantiakow is about ten miles from the actual fortness of Port Ar- thur. It is a position of great natural strength, commanding a broad plain leading to Wuchiatun, another strong position on hills about four miles from the fortress. o5 'x;riawfis AM F T ERICA CONSUL.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 2—In a lengthy telegram to the Emperor, Vice Admiral Skrydloff relates the doings of | the Viadivostok squadron under Rear Admiral Jessen. With the cruisers Rossiay, Gromobol | and Rurik, Admiral Jessen left Viadi- After sinking a small Japanese vessel the cruisers held up the British steamship Camara, but as she had no cargo and “was not | caught in the act of carrying contra- band of war we were compelled to let her go,” says the dispatch. A Japanese coasting steamship was next met, but “as most of her fifty pas- sengers were women we determined to release her.” Two Japanese schooners were sunk. Then Admiral Jessen fell in in quick succession with the British steamships Arabla and Knight Commander. Of the Arabia he says nothing new. “The Knight Commander only stopped after the fourth shot,” the admiral re- ports. “Her cargo being railroad ma- terial, undoubtedly contraband for the belligerent party, and not being able bring her to the nearest Russian port, owing to her not having enough coal, without manifest danger to the squadron, we sank the Knight Com- mander after taking off all her crew |{ and removing her papers.” Two more Japanese schooners laden with salt were then sunk. | The steamship Schinau, from Austra- lia for Yokohama, was inspected and released. On July 25 the Thea, a Ger- man vesel of 934 tons register, “with a full cargo of fish from America to Yo- kohama, was stopped. She was re- | garded as a legal prize and her crew was taken off and the vessel sunk owing to the impossibility of bringing her to a Russian port.” On July 30, near the northern coast, a | Japanese third-class cruiser and sev- eral torpedo-boats, taking the course as the Russians, were sighted, while on the western coast near the Tsugaru Straits a coast defense battle- | ship hove into sight. “All these ships,” Admiral Jessen says, “kept far astern of our cruisers, and after two hours they turned away. The Russian squadron suffered no loss in men and no damage, and there was no loss of life on the vessels sunk or taken.” The news of the return of the Vlad- vogtok cruisers from their third suc- ful raid considerably lessened the | feeiing of despondency created by Gen- eral Kuropatkin's telegram to the Em- necessity of his retreat. Vice Admiral Skrvdloft's port of the cruise points out the utter inability of the Japanese warships to follow up the three Russian cruisers. The Japanese were apparently unable to spare a single effective ship to cope with them. The few antiquated ves- sels encountered by Rear Admiral Jes- sen were unable to give chase, and the torpedo-boats were shy in approaching the Russians. It is presumed that the steamship Thea, although flying the German flag, was chartered by an American firm. In view of the fact that she sailed with a cargo of canned fish, it is con- sidered not unlikely that, like the | Arabia, she sailed from Portland, Or. The only trace of the Thea in the| maritime records available is that she‘ lls of 934 tons register and that she is a e R, Warshios to Coal at Cherbourg. | CHERBOURG, France, Aug. 2 here ! trustworthy report is current that six Russian warships are expect- ed to coal at this port. 3 same | re- | | said that the fair v ia lot of ir | Phalen; SEVENTH SUIT AGAINST HEINZE Boston and Montana Com- pany Alleges a Theft of Ore From the Johnstown Lode CLAIMS BIG DAMAGES Total of Twenty-Six Mil- lion- Dollars Involved in Series of Legal Actions EES TR BUTTE, Mont., Aug. 2.—Another com- | plaint was flled in the I rict Court to-day against the Heinze clique askin | for damages in the sum of $3,300,000 making the total damages claimed in | the suits now pending against F.
