TROOPS SHOT FROM AMBUSH GREAT BRITAIN AGAIN STIRRED BY THE POLES| T0O DEEP ANGER Shakhe River seems to have failed en- tirely. Few details have been received, however, beyond the information con- tained in the official dispatches. Field Marshal Oyama, as at the bal tle of the Shakhe River, appears to have answered the Russian advance with a counter offensive movement, but no great disposition was shown © | carry the warfare into the territory held by the Russians. At the War Office there is an inclina- tion to lay the chief blame for the fail- ure of the movement to a sudden change of the weather to Intense cold (20 degrees below zero) with a high wind which drifted the snow and ren- dered it hazardous to expose the troops to camping in the open plain, and aiso impeded the transportation of guns, supplies and the wounded. The operation entrusted to the sec- ond army, under General Grippenberg, was the capture of Sandepas, which, | once in Russian hands, would serve as e pivot for a flanking: movement against Fleld Marshal Oyama; but Sandepas proved too hdrd a nut to crack, and the Japanese, taking ad- vantage of the check of the Russians, hurried up their reinforcements and assumed the offensive on the Hun Riv- as well ‘as along the railroad and the Great Mandarin road. The Rus- sians, however, appear to have been completely successful on the defensive, repulsing all the Japanese attacks. Under the circumstances, General | Grippenberg decided not to press the attempt to storm Sandepas, which is nated in a flat gountry, and, there- fore, more difficult to take by assault than a position in a hilly country. Owing to the flat trajectory and the normous penetration of modern pro- les, the capture of the outer line trenches on Thursday entailed 1cavy casualties. There is no official ! nate of the losses, but it is ex- pected that some thousands on both | sides were killed or wounded. | The news of this defeat, coming at this time, is especially hard for the Government. The popular idea con- | tinues to be that the advance was un- | dertaken in order to divert attention of the people from the events in Euro- pean Russia. S VR | SAYS WAR MUST GO ON. Grand Duke Cyril Declares Peace Is | Not to Be Considered. ROME, Jan. 30.-—Grand Duke Cyril, who is stopping at San Remo fof the benefit of his health, which suffered m his experience in the sinking of the battleship. Petropavlovsk at Port vithur last = April, has been viewed by a newspaper correspondent regarding the situation in Russia. The and, Duke said Emperor Nicholas as ready to. make concessions to the v.crkmen there, but, learning that they had heen instigated to strike by ele- ments inimical of the welfare-of the | empire, which sought to transform an cconomic - agitation into a political 4uestion, he had been compelled to re- | t to severe measures, in order to finpress upon the workmen that they must not mix in polities. The Grand Duke added that Italian | hestility to Russia was due to the fact trat Emperor Nicholas had not visited me. If, said the Grand Duke, Rus- had ordered ships in Italy, as Japan *.had done, the feeling of the people .here would have been different. .Grand Duke Cyril said that General essel would be required to render a t account of his defense of Port Arthur. The Grand Duke said, further, that ace with Japan was not to be con- ered. When the Baltiq squadron peared in Japanese waters and won a decisive victory, he said, it would be soon enough to speak of peace. IMPUGNS RUSSIA'S MOTIVES. Japan Makes Strong Reply to Chinese | Neutrality Note. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—The Jap- anese Government has made verbal de- | nial to the State Department here, and, is understood, to other Governments. | of the Russian charges of violation of | Chinese neutrlity during tie present | war. The Japanese statement, just | made public, is couched in strong lan- | guage. 1t says that while it is not Japan's | duty to defend China in this case, yet | o far as the good faith and loyaity of | Japan are called into ‘question the | Government of that country feels | Lound to reply to the charges. These are tuken up seriatim, beginning with | the Rveshitelni incident, which the | verbal note declarcs was nothing more | than the adoption by Japan of just and inevitable measures of self-defense made necessary by Russia’s violation of Chinese neutrality. The charges at Chinese brigands were command- by Japanese officers and enrolled in and that Japanese military | s’ were with the Chinese sol- | on the border, are declared to be | ithout any foundation whatever, and ADVERTISEMENTS.

In addition to Holantai and Chen- chiehpao three other villages not im- portant were occupied by the Russians, | two of which have already been relin- | quished.

KUROPATKIN BAFFLED. | RUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS, Huan | Mountain, Sunday, Jan. 29.—The object of General Kuropatkin’'s latest offensive movement was to capture the important position at Sandepas, on the left bank | of the Hun River, and thereby outflank | the Japanese from the Shakhe River | and enable the Russian army to under- | take a general advance. At Sandepas | the Japanese occupied a strongly forti- fled position commanding the triangle formed by the.confluence of the Hun and Shakhe rivers. The Japanese had |erecfed a fort of a permanent type, with triple earthworks and trenches | extending in a southwesterly direction. | Several villages to the northeast also were fortified. The positions were held {1y drawn from General | and partly reserves. | The Russians carried the first line of intrenchments, but were unable to | maintain _their nosition on the out- | skirts of Sandepas, In the face of fierce | cannonading. The fighting was trans- | ferred westward. The Japanese center | attacked with a brigade of infantry, ndeavoring to envelop the Russians, | but the cavalry protecting the Russian | flank drove back the Japanese with { heavy loss. A counter-attack on the | viliages captyred by the Russlans at | the outset of the fight also was beaten off, but at the cost to the Russians of Nogi's army several thousand killed or wounded, including General Mistchenko, who was wounded in the knee. The heav- iest sufferers were the newly arrived brigade of riflemen. The official report of the fighting at Hounlitadzy and Hugounda on Jan- uary 25 and January 26 says forty-five officers and 1050 men fell. | _One hundred Japanese prisoners have arrived here. - They belonged to the Ninth Division before Port Arthur. The ‘wounded are suffering from the cold,-which is increasing. RUSSIAN LOSSES HEAVY. GENERAL OKU'S HEADQUAR- TERS, Friday, Jan. 29.—Yesterday | (Saturday) afternoon the Japanese be- zan a flerce bombardment with artil- lery and musketry along the whole line. The firing was kept up until midnight nd was resumed at dawn to-day, con- tinuing until noon. The Russian reply was feeble. A movement of the Japanese left wing for the purpose of surrounding and cutting off the Russians in the neighborhood of Pokowtal is progress- ing slowly, as the resistance is stub- born. Should the Russian force be cut off it will result in leaving General Kuropatkin's right flank unprotected, Two divisions of Japanese troops at- tacked Pehowski and drove four di- visions of the Russians across the Hun River. Six hundred Russians were captured. The Russians are making a | stand across the river. | One Russtan division made sevéral attacks on Santanpu, to the east, but was driven back with a loss of more than 4000 men. % The Japanese bombarded the entire Russian line. The Russians replied feebly, showing little activity. ————— | GOES OVER HIGH BANK IN HIS AUTOMOBILE Son of G. W.

P 7 TOKIO, Jan. 30.—The casualties dur- ing the fighting at Chenchiehpao and | Heikoutai are estimated at 5000 on the side of the Japanese and 10,000 on the Russian side. | Russian activity on the Shakhe River | scemed to have ceased after the fights | at Chenchichpao, and Heikoupai, where the Japanese were victorious. The ob- |ject of the operations is not clearly | understood here, but it is suggested | that the Russians either intended to turn the Japanese left and move a | heavy force down west of the Liao River, or were seeking to divert atten- tion from scme projected operation against the Japanese right. The Tokio press expresses the opin- ion that General Kuropatkin ordered | the movement either to divert attention {from the domestic conditions in Rus- sia, or that he had planned to make a | fight before Field Marshal Oyama could be heavily reinforced. Manchur- |ian army headquarters, {elegraphing yesterday, said: “There has been no great change in ! the direction of the right and center jarmies since the night of January 28, except constant collisions between | reconnoitering parties. In the direction of the left army the enemy keeps up a slow but constant cannonade, “The enemy’s main body at Chen- chiehpao and Helkoutai seems to have retreated in the direction of Neinyupao, which is two miles west of Changtan, and Subfangtai. At a point ten miles northwest of Shangtan, the enemy left many dead. The details of the fighting |at Chenchiehpao and Heikcutai have | not vet been reported.” —_———— BOLD ADDRE:! | Noblemen Ask, Nicholas to Save the | Fatherland From Disaster, | LONDON, Jan. 31.—The Daily Tel- | egraph’s St. Petersburg dispatches’ | give the text of a remarkably bold ad- | dress which has just been voted al- { most unanimously by the Provincial Assembly of Kharkoff to Emperor Nicholas, congratulating him on the | birt of an heir to the throne and de- | manding representative government. ["The signatories include marshals of | the nobility, noblemen and members | of the Zemstvo who were elected dur- | ing the incumbency of the Ministry of the Interior of Von Plehwe and who, therefore, are presumably well dis- posed toward the autocracy. | The address refers to the horrors of war, the military reverses and other | clouds hanging over the country, and declares that “long years of bureau- cratic oppression and ,violence, dis- | franchisement of the people and vio- lation of the freedom of person, | thought and consclence have created | a condition of things that is no longer endurable and which threatens a sto¥m already visible and fraught with bloody civil war to the country and the subversion of your throne.” It appeals to the Emperor to ward off these calamities before it is too late and no longer trust to negligent, | wily servants, but repose his confi- dence in chosen representatives of the people convoked as a permanent chamber endowed with legislative powers and qualified to see that the |laws are not broken and that the | treasury is not robbed e | TEAMSTERS ON STRIKE. | Ninec Hundred Employes of Lumber Concerns Out in Chicago.

The strikes continue unabated and business is paralyzed, but there was better order during to-day. In Warsaw, however, the crisis is by no means passed and there is great ap- prehension here with regard to what the night may bring forth. The public reprimand administered to Deputy Chief of Police Roudneff of Moscow on account of the posting ef the anti-British telegram in this city, has been delivered and in government circles it is believed to be severe enough to satisfy British opinion. It is thought that this step, together with circulating the reprimand in provincial administrations, will prevent further attacks or insinuations against foreign- ers and will remove the incident from the realm of diplomacy. The Manufacturers’ Assoclation will meet this week to decide the question of paying the wages of the strikers for | the time the latter were not at work. As a number of the works have al- ready paid their unskilled laborers, whese pay day was January 28, one- half or full time, the rest of the em- ployers probably will decide to pay their workmen at least part of their wages for the time they were on strike. At Kieff several of the big machine shops and engineerir~ works are idle owing to the strike there and the bak- erfes are partially closed with the re- sult that the price of bread has risen. The military are patrolling the streets. At Mitau there have been some disor- ders and a pclice superintendent was wounded. The troops there have not yet used their arms.

PARIS, Jan. 30.—The police early to-day discovered a bomb in front of the house of Prince Troubetskoy, an attache of the Russian embassy here. The policemen extinguished the light- ed fuse and informed the authorities, who are investigafing the affain The bomb was bottle-shaped -and of small dimensions. It was filled with a green powder. There were two tubes in the center, one of metal and the other of glass, containing acid. Owing to faulty construction the acid could not ha mixed with the pow- der and as it is the bomb could not have done great damage. A meeting was held this evening in the Tivoli, Vauxhall, to protest against the Russian autocrac: It was under the auspices of the revolutionary So- cialistic group and 6000 persons were present. Deputics Jaures, Valllant and De Pressenz spoke. The police were in strong forte outside. During the exit of the audience into the Avenue ‘de la Republique a bomb was thrown into the center of the group of republican guards, in which stood Prefect Levine and other high officials. None of these, was injured, but two guards were wounded and many windows broken. The bomb was loaded with big-headed boot nails. Two men have been arrested, one of them a law student, on the belief that they were the authors of the crime. Several Russian and Polish exiles among the orators at the meeting used extremely violent language. Pro- fessor Trempoff, who was Father Go- pon’'s college professor, amid frantic | applause, showered eulogism on the leader of the St. Petersburg strikers. Deputy Jaures said the revolutionary period had opened in Russia and could close only with the end of im- perialism. The auditors shouted.To the embassy.” When . they were outside the hall they sang revolutionary songs and en- deavored to break through the {ines of the polide, who registed. Then the bomb was thrown. Two members of the Republican Guard and three civil- ians were wounded. S s~ R SCORES OF RUSSIANS DROWNED. Ice on River Gives Way While They Are Fleeing From Troops. BERLIN, Jan. 31.—TheVossische Zeitung’s Riga letter says the official report of the number killed and wounded in the riots there is far be- low the reported number, since it only included those delivered to ‘the hos- pitals, while unknown numbers lost their lives by drowning. When the soldiers fired upon the crowd many rushed down the roeky shore to escape across the river on the ice, which broke, engulfing them. A snow storm was prevailing at the’ time and the temperature sank rap- idly, causing the river to freeze over ,again, and In consequence no bodies have been recovered. The movement, the letter says, has taken on a distinctly ‘political charac- ter, through the influence of inde- pendents, or those not belonging here. These are Southern Russians, who came to Riga under Government en- tourage to Russify the Polytechnic Institute. ‘They were\heard in the streets shouting ““The war must stop,” Down with the Czar,” “Give us a co stitution,” “Long live revolution, A number of students were killed or wounded. e G - daSatli Appeal for Novelist Gorky.

LONDON, Jan. 31.—The correspond- ent at Warsaw of the Daily Mall tele- graphs as follows: “The street railway service here has been partly resumed, with soldiers rid- ing before and behind most of the cars. |Few cabs are running. Street ighting continues and the mob is growing in dangerous fashion. There have been frequent collisions between the people and the soldlers. Revolutionists at- tacked the troops with revolvers and kmives. The principal disturbances t day occurred in Noviswait street, leading butiness thoroughfare. TROOPS FIRE VOLLEYS. “At 11 o’clock on Sunday night & reg- iment of infantry marched to this thor- oughfare from Smolna street, when somebody fired upon it, whereupon the troops were ordered to form a square and fire from four sides. “Any criticism of the troops must be qualified by the fact that they are fighting under trying conditions, being constantly exposed to snipers and oc- casfonally stabbed by passers-by. Gen- erally the troops are well behaved, but sometimes there are excesses by indi- vidual soldiers who have become in- toxicated. One such soldier killed two children before his comrades were able to disarm him. . “There have been many sad cases of wholly innocent persons shot accldent- ally as ., they turned street corners. There are rumors that hundreds have been killed in fighting in the suburban towns; but I have personally investi- gated every such report and learned that there has been a comparatively smalF death roll. “Fighting was renewed this morning, people firing from their houses upon the troops. “I cannot find a single shop un- harmed. All have been plundered and most of them have been burned. WOMEN OPPOSE SOLDIERS. “A mob of desperate and hungry women tried to thrust soldiers’ bay- onets aside to get into a bakery.

Count Lamsdorff repiied to Embassa- dor Hardinge's second note on the sub- Ject of the Moscow placards by saying that instructions had been sent to re- move all traces of the placards from the streets. It is now learned, how- ever, that similar notices had teen posted at Libau and Reval, which led to a renewal of representations on this score. HOLY SYNOD'S ALLEGATIONS. In this connection the appearance of the proclamation of the Holy Synod instructing the orthodox priests to in- form their parishioners that the strike and revolutionary movements were pro- moted by the external as well as in- ternal enemies of Russia, with the ob- Ject of embarrassing the military and naval plans, has created something of a flurry among forelgners here, espe- clally the British, who believe that the | object is to incite hostilities. Most of the factories and mills of St. Petersburg were in operation to- day and the strike, to all intents and purposes, is ended. A few large estab- lishments have not yet fully resumed operations, .owing to the official for- malities necessary in registering their thousands of employes. Some of the workmen at the Poutiloff works, where the strike originated, have asked for the celebration of a religious service by the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg be- fore resuming work, “so as to remove the effect of the presence of the un- frocked priest and excommunicated leader,” Father Gapon. Some Social- Democrats_are protesting against the arresty of Friday and Saturday, on the ground that the action was in violation of the implied promise contained in the proclamation by the authorities. ANTI-RUSSIAN OUTBURST. LONDON, Jan. 30.—Reports of continued acts of hostility to Great Britain and citizens of this eountry in Russia are causing much perplexity and anxiety in official circles in Lon- don. At the Foreign Office there is evident apprehension of another pop- ular anti-Russian outburst here and while diplomats say there is no doubt that full satisfaction will be given for the Warsaw affair, the newspapers are unanimous in condemnation of Russia and attribute all incidents to anti-British sentiment. At the Foreign Office to-day it was intimated that these accumulated evi- dences of hostility, whether accident- al or intentional, were causing much apprehension and that it would be necessary for the Russian Government to give full and prompt explanation, | or otherwise popular seatiment in the | United Kingdom might create a seri- ous situation. It was pointed out that while the ! injured pro-Consul at Warsaw, Mucu- Ikaln. was merely an interpreter and naval clerk in the consulate that fact made no difference and that it would | be necessary to prove that the affair was not the result of the publication of the objectionable notices concern- j ing_which Embassador Hardinge ai- ready has protested officlaliy. e ——— SEATTLE, Jan. 30.—The schooner David Evans, owned by the Pacific Shipping Com- pany of San Francisco, to-day ran aground | mear Point No Point while bound to San Diego from Everstt with a cargo of lumber and piles.
