THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1904 Report, of Big Batle ab Port Arthur General Kuropatkin Intends | to Take Revenge for Liao- vang and Is Making Preparations to Continue | His Military Operations In the absence of developments at the front interest at St. Petersburg centers in the disposition to be made of certain important civil and mili- tary officers. Rumor has it that Vice- roy Alexieff has been reinstated in royal favor and will, upon his return from the Far East, become the ac- | tual director of Russia’s foreign pol- icy. Friends of Gemeral Kuropatkin | are confident that he will be given at least temporary command of the two great Russian armies. No news later than September 30 has been received from Port Arthur. At the date given | the garrison had becp inspired by re- puises of the Japancse. —_ i BERLIN, Oct. 5.—A dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Mukden says: “General Kuropatkin has expressed a firm determination to avail himself favorabie geason of the year for ry action.

WAR BULLETINS. —_— LONDON, Oct. 5—A news agency here late to-night sent out a dispatch dated Tokio, October 5, saying: “It is believed that the Russian squadron made a sortie from Port Ar- thur to-day and that a great naval battle occurred.” No details are given. LONDON, Oct. 5.—There s no con- firmation from any source of the re- ported naval fight at Port Arthur. HARBIN, Oct. 2. (Delayed in trans- mission.)—It is reported that the Jap- anese advance posts have been driven | back along the line between the Hun | River and Bensihu. + from Lieutenant de 4 Cuverville and the French and German naval attaches i at Port Arthur, who have mysterious- 1y disappeared. In this connection a local paper prints a sensational dispatch from | Chefu Intlmating that these Chinese ! sent into Chefu by the Japanese, who are the real culprits, in order m‘ absolve themselves from culpability in the disappearance of the two attaches. ——— RECRUITING KOREANS. Report That Japan Is Forcing Them | to Bear Arms. POSSIET BAY, Russian Manchuria, Oct. 4 (delayed in transmission).— | The Javanese Minister at Seoul has | demanded that every town in Korea | furnish a contingent of forty to sixty men for the army now being organ- ized, but the Emperor of Korea re- fuses to do so. The Japanese, never- theless, continue to recruit Koreans | under the pretense of employing them+ as coolies. It is reported that they} recruited 600 'men at Pingyang, | dressed them in uniform, sent them | to Manchuria and placed them in the | front line, fastened to posts, until | nearly all of them were killed. The Raussians found dnly one man alive. SRR S o STEEL ™LATE FOR JAPAN. Big Shipment From the Carnegle Company at Pittsburg. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 5.—Fifty cars of heavy steel plate, said to be intend- ed for the Japanese Government, are now being transshipped from here. They are from the Carnegie Company, at Pittsburg, and are consigned to the company’s agent in Japan. The plates | vary in thickness from half an inch to an inch and a quarter, and are of the kind ordinarily used in the con- struction of crulsers and torpedo- boats. It is believed that they are in- tended for torpedo-boat construc- tion. i CHINESE ENLISTING. Volunteer Militia Said to Be Joining the Japanese. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 5.—A spe- cial dispatch from Mukden under date of October 4, says: A regular recruiting service has been formed by the Japanese army, enlisting what the Chinese volunteer militia. The Japanese are assisted in this work by Lin Ze, a Prince of the Chinese imperial household. The men | are paid by the Japanese, but not armed by them with the Japanese modern rifles. S ligatiil Chinese Bandits Aiding the Japanese. LONDON, Oct. 6.—The Daily Tele- graph's correspondent in traveling | between Sinmintin and Kinchau in- terviewed Chinese bandits, who af- firm that there are ten thousand | brigands engaged actively at the seat of war. The bandit chiefs added that these brigands are co-operating heart- y with the Japanese and that they re excellent, hardy ghters, well armed with modern weapons. The — Departing Colliers Cause Rumors. EMDEN, Germany, Oct. 5.—It is ru- mored here that three colliers, the Ceres, Orion and Johannesberger, which cleared for Santiago a few days ago, actually sailed for Slagen, Island of Jutland, Denmark, under the charge of a Russian officer, who was taken on board at Emden. e L7 G Kuropatkin Respected Tombs. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 5.—Gener- al Kuropatkin, in a dispatch to the Emperor, vigorously denies the charges made by the Chinese Govern- ment that the sanctity of the Im- perial tombs and graves near Mukden had been violated by the Russian troops. AT R ST Mikado Honors an Austrian. TOKIO, Oct. 5.—The Emperor to- : decorated Colonel Hoad, the Aus- Emperor Nicholas Receives General Stoessel’s Official Report of the Four Days’ Assault by Japanese Upon | Defenses of Port Arthur ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 5, 6:20 p.m. Emperor Nicholas has at last received General Btoessel's official report of the desperate four days’ assault of the be- slegers upon Port Arthur from Sep- tember 19 to September 23, frcm which it appears that the unofficial report | from Chefu was by no means exagger- | ated. The Japanese displayed frenzied | bravery. They lost ten thousand men, and their only success was the capture of two redoubts guarding the water- works, They prepared for the assault by a general bombardment and then launched their attacks simultaneously from the north and west. Night and day they foght under a cover of a continual bombardment from their siege guns, and finally reached the re- doubts on the north side, but only after the defenses there were com- pletely demolished by shell fire from the west. The Japanese efforts were directed ' chiefly against the commanding posi- | tion on High Mountain, which faces | Pigeon Bay. If it had fallen its pos- session would have given the Japanese a tremendous lever against the chain of inner defenses. The carnage there was terrible and culminated Septem- | ber 22, when the Japanese succeeded in reaching and occupying the Russian ar- mored shelter trenclres, whence they expected undoubtedly to storm the summit. During the night Lieutenant Poggorsky of the navy, at the head of a detachment of volunteers, descended upon the trenches and blew them up with pyroxylin bombs, producing a panic among the besiegers, who fled, leaving the mountain side strewn with dead. The Japanese then abandoned | further attempts, but after a day or| two to recuperate, according to Gen- | eral Stoessel's second dispatch, dated ! September 30, they resumed the bom- | bardment of the city and outer works, and began to construct zigzag ap- proaches, evidently hoping to get| a nearer position from which to launch | their next assault. | The loss of the water works is not considered vital as there is a fresh ‘water lake and numerous wells as well as a condensing apparatus within the defenses. | General Stoessel recommends General | Kondratenko, Lieutenant Poggorsky, Colonel Irman of the artillery, and Captain Sychaff of the Fifth Siberian regiment for the St. George's Cross. The complete character of the repulse of the Japanese has evidently greatly | inspired the garrison of Port Arthur. | General Stoessel says the gallantry ot‘ the Russian troops was beyond promise and adds that the garrison will hold out to the last drop of blood. General Stoessel adds that practical- | 1y nothing remained of the water works redoubts when the surviving Russians | evacuated them. | General Stoessel's dispatch, which was dated September 30, concludes: | “After bloody assaults from the 19th | to the 23d of $eptember, there has been | comparative tranquillity around the fortress. On the night of September | 23d the Japanese after belng repulsed | by Lieutenant Poggorsky, fled in panic. | They are now working very actively | and are approaching by a tunnel and | entrenchments. The bombardment | was maintained both upon the fort and the buildings within the fortress. “We make sorties frequently, driving back the enemy. The repulse of the last ' attack was especially due to Lieuten- ant Poggorsky, General Kondratenko, Colonel Irman and Captain Sychaff. The spirit of the troops is heroic. ‘Wounded men are every day returning from the hospitals to the ranks. | “We pray to God for victory and for | the health of your Majesty."” | General Stoessel’s report created | great rejoicing and revived the hope in | his ability to defend the fortress. After| the failure of the storming operations the War Office here would not be sur-| prised if the Japanese changed thelr | plans to a regular engineering siege. No fresh news has been received from Mukden. According to the War Office’s | information quiet continues there. Grand Duke Boris will leave St. Petersburg in ten days to rejoin the| army. Major General Orloff has been as-| signed to duty on the general staff,| thus ending the report that he would| be tried by court-martial and dis-| missed from the army. Lieutenant General Grippenberg, who is to command the second Manchurian army, was received in audience by the Emperor to-day. He declined to be in- | terviewed and will return to Vilna to-| morrow. The general will leave for the | front during the present month. —_————— | admitted under oath that Miss War- | MISS LAWTON WILL GO EAS DOLBEER CAS SET FOR TRIAL Judge Coffey Grants Con- tinuance for Schander to the Second of November NO PARIS DEPOSITIONS Court Decides Evidence at French Capital Is Not Necessary for Contest At the conclusion of three hours of spirited argument, participated in by Attorneys Pillsbury, Mc¢Enerney and the two Johnsons, Judge Coffey dectded | yesterday that Adolph Schander was entitled to a continuance of the trial of his contest against the will of Ber- tha M. Dolbeer. The court, however, was opposed to a long delay and de- clared that only time enough would be granted in which to obtain the deposi- tions in New York and at the Connec- ticut and Massachusetts insane asy- lums which are said to be necessary for the contestant’s case. Figuring carefully upon the dates, Judge Coffey was of the opinion that the depositions could be brought here in time for a trial on November 2, and he named that date for the commence- ment of the hearing. “This setting is | peremptory,” he said, “and I will have | a jury here on that day.” The court de- cided that the depositions desired in' Paris were unnecessary—that the! Misses King and O’Connor would prob- ably not be there, and it might be held | that the testimony of the French phy- | sician, Dr. Gros, would not be admit- | ted as evidence under’the California | law against the use of the confidential | relations between doctor and patient. At the opening of yesterday’'s hear- ing Mr. Pillsbury ‘recalled Schander to| the stand, but the lawyer's efforts to| draw from the witness the details of his conferences with his brother Hora- | tio regarding who should begin the con- | test were made unavailing by Schand- er's lack of memory. He was asked as | to the information gathered in New | York by his representative, but he was unable to give any facts.

Of the delays already occasioned, he said the effort to get Miss Warren's deposi- tion alone used up at least twenty-one days. PILLSBURY’'S REJOINDER. Mr. Pillsbury answered Johnson, re- | citing the progress of the case and say- } ing that the issues had been joined for | more than two months and in setting | the trial for October 4 the court ha given more time than was at first in tended.

As to the Paris | ! witnesses, he thought the Misses | O’Connor and King were likely to re- turn to San Francisco; the ate law would seal the lips of Dr. Gros. As to the delay in settling the es- | tate he thought the executors and lega- tees, including various charities, had some rights which should be consid- ered. ’ Mr. McEnerney’'s argument was brief. He made the point that the afidavit was not made by the person in pos- session of the facts—it should have been made by the attorneys. The lega- tees, he said, were entitled to have the validity of the will determined and having already had two months’ time the contestants could not claim that the case was being “railroaded through.” The evidence expected from the Deutschland witnesses was sub- ject to proof by witnesses in this city, and besides, the ship had been in port several times since June 30, when Miss Dolbeer came over, and the depositions could have been taken. Albert M. Johnson closed the argu- ment. He dealt with the law points and argued upon the judicial discre- tion of the court in matters of contin- uance. He said that the strenuous re- sistance of the motion by the other side was an evidence of its extreme im- portance. The attorney discussed the erldence to be produced from the for- elgn witnesses, particularly that of Coroner Scholer of New York, alleged to be in effect that Miss Warren sald Miss Dolbeer had been mentally de- ranged for years. ————e—tl, Goes to Seattle Direct.
