Charles Tulles, driver of | the truck, left his team standing on New Montgomery street while attend- ing to some business. The unfortunate lad and Bennie Robinovich were at | play on the wagon when some mis- creant y@uth yelled to the Rorses. The sudden starting of the team threw both children off, one of the rear wheels passing: over the Silare child. Young Robinovich’s left leg was severely crushed, necessitating treatment at the Harbor Hospital. Despite medical at- tention Baby Silare died after being removed home. Tulles was arrested on a charge of manslaughter. i Isadore Vizzis of 1037 Folsom street ! was crushed to death on Sherman street, between Cleveland and Harri- son streets, at 6 o'clock last evening.

Near the Mines. ' ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 30.—Gen- | eral Kuropatkin is nowconcentrating his forces at Tieling and Mukden is evidently going to be saved the terrors of the battlefleld. - In the meantime matters are said to be lively in the sacred capital. Trade is brisk, especi- ally in furs. The Japanese, in force at Davan, on the Liao River, are making their way toward Sinminting. A sec- ond force is near Tchantang, with its center at Scheliche Banjapisa, while General Kuroki, with an unexpected amount of cavalry, is pushing along in the mountains to the east. In a fortnight's time General Kudo- patkin will be reinforced by eight hardy corps from the best equipped fighting force of Russia. Until then he is not likely, according to. competent military authorities, to give battle. The change of tactics on the part of the Japanese, by attacking all along the line, renders General Stoessel’s task doubly difficult. He cannot longer call out reserves and concentrate them on one spot, as was the’ case heretofore. The military critic of Novoe Vremya says this increases the chances of Japan's success. s ST JAPANESE OCCUPY SIAOBEYHO. Field Marshal Oyama Begins Advance on Russianp Army at Mukden. 8T. PETERSBURG, Oct, 1, 2:10 a. m.—The War Office at a late hour gave | out a telegram from General Sakharoff, dated September 30, describing a sue- cessful onslaught on a Japanese ad- vance guard near Yentai on September 28. The Japanese began theé fight by attacking a position held by the Rus- sians at -Oulitaidze, twenty.miles south of the Hun River. The Russians with- drew and then countermarched and occupied- the enemy’s position - .at Toumytsa, north of Yental, and drove the.Japanese as far as Yental station, losing four men wounded, whereas the Japanese losL - {wenty kmed or wounded. ° > v General %akh»amfl furt_her reports that a reconnaissance on:September 29 showed thdt the- Japunese forcé was concentrating in’. increasing : numbers along the Yextai hranch of. the railioad and that there is aiso considérable con-* centration of Japanese along the ’I‘anse River, neaf Bensiapu. General Sakharoff’s telegram, as given to the press, contains no mention of developments on the eastern flank. This silence probably is due to the fact that details of operations telegraphed to the Czar at Odessa had not.reached the general staff. It is admitted that the Japanese ad- vance has: already begun' along the whole - line, assuming its most active form in the éast, whither Field ‘Mat shai Oyama continues to draft large forces.’. Opérations are also progreuslng west of the railroad. P A Harbin dispatch contnln! the.an- nouncement: that the 'Japdnese have occupied ‘Siaobeyho, west of: the Liao River, whence ‘they -are - evidemly threatening Sinmintin. The likelihood of the. appomtment of Grand Duke Michael Nicolaeivitch -as commander in chief is increasing. It is learned that the Grand Duke has in- formed the officers of the regiment of dragoons of which he is the honorary colonel of the probability of his going to the Far East, adding that he would take the regiment with him .as his bodyguard. The return of Viceroy Alexieff is al- | most certain, and there is good reason | to believe tnat he will succeed Foreign | Minister Lamsdorff, who may be ap- ! pointed a member of the counc" of the ' empire. It is further reported that the im- | perial shooting lodge at Skierniewice ‘has been prepared for the arrival of his Majesty, who is expected there be- | fore the middle of October, the Czarina i remaining at Peterhof until November 18, when she will join the Czar with her children. The Czar's departure for Poland has not been expected, as it was thought he would remain in St. Petersburg on account bf the serious situation in the | Far East. It is hinted that there are important motives for his going to Skiernewice. The visit revives the talk of a possible meeting with Em- peror William of Germany. The Dowager Empress of Russia has embarked at Reval for Copenhagen. +She has ‘gone to meet the Queen of England, and it is expected that she will remain in Copenhagen a month. St. Petersburg is full of rumors to- night. It is persistently said that riots have occurred at Odessa and that cav- alry. charges were necessary to disperse crowds that had assembled at the sta- tion shouting “Down with the war,” An- other wild rumor is that the Czarevitch is dead. There is not the slightest foundation for these stories” The im- perial infant is in the best of health. AAENRASI CHANGE IN SITUATION. et Mikado's Men Appear Anxious to Take the Defensive. 'MUKDEN, Sept. 30.—A great change occurred. The Japanese now appear anxious to take the defensive and have fortified a posi- tion northwest of the Yentai mines. According to the besi estimates ob- tainable, the Japanese army confront- ing General Kuropatkin comprises a grand total of 180 battalions. Allow- ing 800 men to a battalion, there are 144,000 infantry. In addition there are 6300 cavalry and 630 guns. The distribution of the Japanese forces is as follows: Ome division at Bentsiaputze, two divisions at the Yen- tai mines, four divisions on the rail- way a little north of Liaoyang, one division westward near Hiameadense and one division at Sandepu. The Russians estimate the Japatdese forces at the following strength: Gen- eral Kuroki, with the Imperial guards and the Second and Twelfth divisions. a total of thirty-six battalions of in- fantry, nine squadrons of cavalry, 108 Pierce’s Dbroken. The wagen and horses were . guns and a separate artillery corps of seides, found hanging in the branches of a 108 guns; the guards reserve brigade, <onsisting of eight battalions of inhn. s@untgmmhwmcnfi. try, nine squadrons of cavalry and 24 guns and the reserve brigades of thirty-two battalions of infantry and thirty-six guns, making the total of Kuroki’s army seventy-six battalions of infantry, eighteen squadrons of cav- alry and 276 guns. General Oku’s army consists of the Third, Fourth and Sixth divisions of thirty-eight battalions of infantry, nine | squadrons of cavalry, 108 guns, one | separate cavalry brigade of eight] squadrons, a separate artillery brigade | of 108 gung and reserve brigades com- prising twenty-four: battalions of in- fantry, nine squadrons of cavalry and | twenty-five guns, making the total strength of Oku’s army six battalions of infantry, twenty-six squadrons of cavalry and 242 guns. General Nodzu commands the Fifth and Tenth divisions, consisting of twent « battallons of infantry and sIX Squ. .cons of cavalry. Including re- serves Nodzu's army consists of forty- four battalions of infantry, nine squad- rons of cavalry and 120 guns. C ———— . OPPOSES PEACE CONFERENCE. Russian Paper Says Palk of Interven- tion Is Dangerous . Maneuver. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 30.—The Novoe Vremya, commenting upon the hostility shown by other powers toward Russla, says: : “Russia is now.carrying on two wars —the sanguinary conflict in the Far East and a bloodless, diplomatic one in the courts of Europe.” a The article concludes: “All these talks of peace conference and intervention are simply dangerous maneuvers—flanking, ments, so to speak.” But when the na- tions of the world cry out against the’ inhumanity of this war, they must re- member that we did not start it. It is unnecessary for us to shade or soften the picture of the horrors being en- acted -in the Far East.

TIENTSIV Oct. 1, 10 a. m.—Russian officers here admit that it is the inten- tionof-the remaining Russian war ves- sels at Port Arthur to attempt to es- cape. They say that they expected the movement. one week ago, and that. it may now be expected daily. Captain Matousevitch, the late Ad- miral Withoeft’s chief of staff, who was wounded during the engagement of August 10, and who arrived hére on the battleship Cesarevitch, August 12, in his report of the naval engagement be- tween the Port Arthur squadron and Admiral Togo's' fleet, August 10, says that twenty-four officers and members of the crew were Kkilled. Captain Matousevitch I;a.s requested permission ‘to visit Italy for the pur- pose of recovering his health. The Ital- ian Government has been asked if it will consent, on the guarantee that Captain Matousevitch will not leave| Italy. German warships are cr\flu‘lng outside | of Tsingtau daily. It is believed that if any vessel of the Port Arthur fleet should attempt to reach that port. it will be examined at.sea and, if found seaworthy, be advised not to enter t.hl part. A S S CHAN('LS IN RUSSIAN: l\AVY Vice Admiral "Doubasoff to Bocome Minister of Marine. : ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 1, 2:20 a. m. The reorganization of the navy which has been foreshadowed by’ the press begins with the announcement on the highest authority that Vice Admiral Doubasoff, the present head of- the technical bureau of the Admiralty, will be appointed Minister of Marine. Vice Admiral Avelan, whom he will suc- ceed, will be given the honorary post of chief of ‘the Red Cross Soclety, suc- ceeding Admiral Kremer, who died re- cently. Vice Admizral Rojestvensky will return to St. Petersburg to assume ac- tive charge of the naval staff, a posi- tion from which he could ill be spared. The Pacific squadron will be entrusted to Rear Admiral Chouknin, the present chief of the Black Sea fleet. Admiral Birileff will be transferred from the Baltic to- the Black Sea squadron, while Admiral Veselago, hitherto Ad- miral Birileff's assistant, will take charge of the Baltic fleet.
