Outside of head- quarters nothing definite is known re- garding events since Saturday. It is reported that the Russlans are show- i ing lack of co-ordination and co-opera- tion in meeting Japanese movements. 1 TOKIO, March 5.—Field Marshal { Oyama is continuing his great drive { { | | jaround both fianks of the Russian army. Oyama’s front now resembles |8 huge bow, with its base on the ' Shakhe River. His right arm reaches | a point east of Fushun. His left arm . extends to a point west of Mukden. | | He is steadily tightening his great chord of men of steel while General Kuropatkin is striving desperately to , check the Japanese advance, contest- | ing their flank encroachments and | hammering their center. The Japanese are making heavy gains west of the railway and have captured great quan- tities of stores. There has been bloody fighting and the heavy losses will be vastly increased when the masses of infantry meet. Oyama, reporting yes- terday, said: “A few days ago our force in the | direction of Sengching pressed the | enemy into his position at Tita. which is fifteen miles southeast of Fushun, and at Manchuntun, fifteen miles south of Fushun. An engagement continues |in the direction of the Shahke River. | “On the night of March 3 the enemy made four determined attacks against our positions at Housuntapotzu and Tangshiatun. All of his attacks were entirely repulsed. “In the district east of the railwav | the enemy’s frequent small were all repulsed. In the district west of the railway our force. its fierce attacks, has occupied the dis- tricts of Wuchenying, five miles west | three | | of Shahke village; Lalshenpao, miles northwest of Wuchenying. and Shuhopao, the terminus of the new rallway which has been constructed by the Russians. | _“Our force on the right bank of the Hun River, after dislodging the enemy from his position northeast of the Slaopei stream, which is between the | Hun River and the Liao River, has ad- ; vanced to the north. This force car- jrled the defense line of the enemy be- tween Changtan and Sufangtai and | then fiercely pursued the enemy. The line is now between Wochiapo, fifteen | miles southwest of Mukden: Tatzupao. thirteen miles west of Mukden. and | Lamuho, which is four miles north of Tatzupao. | “During the previous engagement the casualties of the enemy were heavy. We captured a great quantity of spoils, but we have not as yet had time to | investigate them. We also captured | large quantities of provisions at Wan- { changpao and a considerable quantity | of clothing at the depot of Tahantai.” VICTORY OR A ROUT. | Kuropatkin's Fate Depends Upon Re- sult of To-Day’s Fighting. ST. PETERSBURG, March 6.—The fate of General Kuropatkin and his army hangs In the balance to-day, des pending on the result of the fighting | almost in the outskirts of Mukden. According te reports this morning the fighting went well for the Rus- sians, who beat back the wave that | threatened to roll over Mukden as it | did_over the fortifications of Port { Arthur; but nothing is known as to what is geing on beyond the line of breakers—whether part of General Nogl's force is in full career for Tie Pass or whether the Japanese have staked all in a cast against Mukden. The. imminence of the peril on the west wing has withdrawn attention from the operations on the center, where the fighting has been extreme- ly heavy, and on the left especially, ere the Japanese gains are suffi- | ciently great enough to cause appre- hension. Military critics here point out that the Japanese have put them- selves in a critical position by the ex- treme extension of their lines, laying themselves open, as they did at Liao- yang, to the possibility of a most ef- fective counter stroke and/ probable defeat if General Kuropatkin should be able to launch a column against a weak link in the chain. In other respects the situation also resembled that at Liaoyang, the Jap- anese making a costly demonstration to hold the Russians in their fortifica- tions on the center and throwing away the lives of thousands in order to give the flanking force opportunity to ad- minister a telling blow. | A feature of all accounts of the fight- ing reaching St. Petersburg is the em- | phasis laid on the awful carnage. ! There is reference after reference to | dead piled high on:the ground over which an attack was delivered, strew- ing breastworks, almést hiding abatis from sight and even being used by the Japanese to construct hasty entrench- ments. The Russian losses on both flanks are conceded to be enormous, but it is claimed that the defenders of the center suffered comparatively little by the Japanese bombardment andk in beating off the Japanese at- tack. The attacks delivered by General Nogi's soldiers were marvelous, in view of the forced marches which they made | for five or six days, recalling the rec- : ords of Stonewall Jackson’s “Foot Cav- {alry.” They entered the battle with the greatest dash and fought day after day with vigor, but those of them who were taken prisoners dropped to the ground utterly exhausted and hardly able to speak. They had not eaten for two days, which accounts in part for their utter fatigue. . General Kuropatkin’s line of com- munication has not been touched, though it is in extreme jeopardy. His right flank is bent so sharply back that it may necessitate the abandonment of the Putiloff and Novgorod hills, to Which the Russians still firmly cling. The Japanese possibly are pushing {northward &t tangents with both ! flanks. A hoveful sigh is the postponement until to-morrow of the grand council | of war, which was to have met at Tsar- skoe-Selo to-dav. This lends color to reports that the general situation has somewhat improved. The council was attacks | continuing | Flanks. called to discuss the retirement on Tie has made a successful retreat far more | difficult than that at Liaoyang, where | but cne flank was rolled back. “ A flood of dispatches came through to-day, but they were mostly old, re- ferring to the firing on the left flank and General Linevitch’s losses, which | have been largely described. sl e NOGI'S WARRIORS UNFED. l Continue the Battle With Their { Haversacks E!npt)u | MUKDEN, Saturday, March 4.— | Guns began firing at 1:30 o’clock this | afternoon to the west and northwest, indicating the beginning of the battle | by General Nogi, notwithstanding the terrible work of the past three days and the confirmed report that his troops have not eaten for two days. Up to Friday evening the positions on the Shakhe River remained un- changed. The Japanese everywhere | sustained severe losses. The thirteenth | charge against Kaotu Pass was beaten | off at 8 o’clock on Friday morning. In | the storming of Sandepas the Japanese advanced to the wire entanglements, where they were checked and thrown back. The tenth charge at Kandolesan, on the Russian left wing, was beaten | back at 4 o'clock this morning. An artillery duel has been raging | since morning to the westward of Mukden and the Japanese shells are exploding within three miles of the imperial tombs. The line of the Jap- anese advance guard extends seven miles parallel with the railroad. Scattered Chinese villages, which are practically the only shelters in this open plain, areé‘meivlng the particular attention of the gunners. Throughout the day the Russian bat- teries replied vigorously to the Japan- | ese fire and the exchange of shrapnel has been terrible. The wnole of the fire zone is obscured by dense white | smoke from exploding missiles. | —_—— | SURPRISINGLY RAPID ADVANCE. Russians Believe Their Foe Utilized | a Chinese Railroad. MUKDEN, Friday, March 3.—The | beginning of the withdrawal of the | Russian right flank on March 1 pre- | cipitated a battle at Chantan, west of iScmdepaul. when the right flank was ordered to fall back, fighting, to Tao- taitzu, near Nataran. On March 3 the Russians captured some machine guns and took a number of prisoners of Gen- eral Nogi’s Port Arthur army. The Russians lost extensively, although they destroyed an entire Japanese regi- ment before Chantan with shrapnel and burned all the forage in the vil- lages north of the Hun River. The Japanese attacked Chantan from Sandepas simultaneously with an as- toundingly rapid advance from Liao- vang, the impression being that the Chinese Sinmintin Railroad was being employed by them as a line of com- munication. The combatants confront each other now for a distance of six and a half | miles west, the Japanese, it is belleved, | baving three divisions and the most theatrical and bold event of the war is imminent. The Russians consider the situation as very favorable to them on account of the great extension of the Japanese line. There Is the greatest actlvity at Mukden. All the streets and outlying reads are crowded with transports of the army, which have been assembled | to oppose General Nogi. The events of | the last three days have electrified the | entire army. The fighting” at Putiloff Hill and on the center closed at dark on Thursday, when it was confined chiefly to the west, where the Japanese are ¢ jupying Sinmintin. Two companies also dashed up the Mukden road from Sifangtal without being arrested, though the Cos- sacks had been in touch with the Jap- anese advanced posts for two days. On March 2 several divisions gave battle west of Mukden, from which city the bursting of shrapnel could plainly be seen. Mukden, which was thrown into confusion, recovered to- day when it became known that the Japanese had been repulsed. The prisoners captured show that the Imperial Guards Division, formerly of General Kuroki's army, with a few other troops, made the two attacks of the last sixty hours on the Russian center, which have already been re- ported, and kept up a furious demon- stration while the Japanese flanks pushed back the Russian right and left flanks. The Russian casualties on March 1 end 2 are reported to have been 100 in the center, while the Japanese are be- lieved to have lost more than 1000. In- formation obtained indicates that only three divisions of the Japanese army are engaged and it is believed that a formidable force of Japanese i$ on the way to Tie Pass. phoses - G MORE SHIPS CHARTERED, TACOMA, March 5.—A large num- ber of extra steamships are being chartered to rush across the Pacific supplies of many kinds to Japan. The great steamship Minnesota, four Jap- anese liners and the big freighters of the Boston Steamship Company run- ning from Tacoma are insufficient to carry to Japan the immense ship- me‘;.u g! blrlqi‘:our, meat products and other suppl now up af Puget Sound ports. i One firm has chartered the steam- skips Ocean Monarch, Nuirn, Foreric and Forest Brook to ioad at Tacoma during the next thirty days. At least six heavy cargoes for Japan will leave Tacoma in March and as many more in April. The cargoes will include railroad supplies and equipment for the railroad Japan is rapidly throwing across Korea.

CHICAGO, March b5.—Bishop Fal- lows ig a believer in apparitions and | believes it possible that mediums exist who can materfalize spirits at will This was the tenor.of a direct state- ment contained in an interview given to-night after a sermon on “True and False Spiritualism.” In his sermon the eminent church- man condemned in unmeasured terms the practices of fraudulent spiritualists and censured such practices as the manufacture of “spirit pictures” Christ. “That the dead exist in spirit and will communicate with the living has been proved,” said Bishop Fallows. “My father and mother separately saw the apparition of a young man who died in England. My parents were not superstitious people, either. “Of the thousands of mediums in the country I believe it possible that there are some who can cause the spirits of the dead to appear at will. I should most assuredly not venture to dispute| those wonderful phenomena, many of which admit of no other explanation. 1 believe that some of these genuine manifestations are supernormal—that is, they are visiblg only to certain per- sons, but exist nevertheless.” The sermon preached to-dav by Bishop Fallows at St. Paul's Re- formed Episcopal Church was in part as follows: “There are genuine spiritualistic phenomena without doubt. Otherwise the Bible itself would be untrue. But it is, I think, perfectly safe to say that no more than one in a thousand cases connected with the vast number of seances in this country is worthy of credence. j “A day or two ago a photograph of Christ was placed in my hands, for which it was claimed he sat before the camera of a Chicago medium. The height of sacrilege and deception has been reached. If ever money was ob- tained under fraudulent pretense it has been secured in innumerable instances by these false mediums. The harvest which has been reaped, both from rich and poor, by these mendacious traffick- ers in the deepest and holiest senti- ments of mankind has been a golden one.” FAKE MEDIUM EXPOSED. Seance in New York Turned Into a Battle Royal. NEW YORK, March 5.—A spiritual- istic fraud was exposed to-night when Mrs. Herrman, a materializing medi- um, was dragged shrieking from her cabinet and tossed into the center of a circle of dupes attending the seance in her apartments. She was a most sub- stantial spirit, weighing at least 300 pounds, and she fought like a trapped tigress. Furniture was smashed, men knocked down and glass broken before Mrs. Herrman and her husband were finally captured. When the gas jets were ignited the woman was found gasping in the cen- ter of the seance room, clad in a mass of gauze, coated with phosphorescent paint. Half of her spiritual garb and her headpiece were in the possession of Calvert Berwick, a Virginian, who made the exposure. The exposure was the most sensa- tional and complete ever made in this city. Berwick's cousin, Harrison Grind- ley, was with him at the seance, and struck a light while the fight was go- ing on in the cabinet. Immediately half a dozen or more confederates at- tacked Grindley and Berwick and fought to prevent the medium being dragged into the seance room. A bat- tle followed and it was not until they had knocked several men down that they were able to flood the room with light. —_————— CHINA LODGES A PROTEST. ' Accuses the Japanese of a Breach of Neutrality. TOIO, March 5.—It is understooad that the Chinese Government has lodgeG a protest with the Japanese Government in which it is alleged that the neutrality of Sinmintin has been infringed by the operations there and thereabouts of the Japanese army. The Japanese Government has not in- dicated what attitude it will take with regard to this protest, but it is expect- ed that in its reply to China it will de- clare that Japan Is bound to respect the neutrality of North China only so long as Russia does, and that the presence of the Russians at Sinmintin has created a condition of bellizers ency. The operations of her forces at Sinmintin, it is expected Japan will point out, was and is a strictly mili- tary necessity for the protection of Japanese rights and interests. EEL e CARRIED SEAWARD BY ICE. Blockade Runners May Escape Cap- ture by Japanese. TOKIO, March 5.—It is believed here that the unknown steamships which have been imprisoned in the ice fields north’of the island of Hok- kaide have been carried seaward, where it is probable that the break- ing of the floes will result in liberating the vessels. There is no trace of the Northwest- ern Steamship Company’s Tacoma, concerning which various rumors have been afloat. It is believed that this v 1 is short of coal and that unless t«te can speedily reach Vladivostok or some oither port she is in danger of being rendered helpless. S G A SIZE OF KUROPATKIN’S ARMY. Russian Commander-in-Chief Has More Than 400,000 Men. TOKIO, March 5.—According to estimates which have been prepared here, the forces under General Ku- ropatkin between the Shakhe River and Tie Pass total slightly more than 400,000, composed of 335,000 infan- try, 33,000 cavalry and 35,000 artillery, with 1504 guns. These estimates .g not include the Vladivostok and other garrisons, the rairoad guards or the civil_employes. The grand total of the Russian strength east of Baikal is estimated at 700,000 men. ot 1 BALDWIN TO BE ADVANCEDIPRATERS AIMED BE RAISED] TO MAJOR GENERALSHIP. GALLANTRY IN ACTION LEADS TO PROMOTION 3 = INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 5.— Brigadier Generals Frederick D. Grant and Frederick Funston will be disre- garded by President Roosevelt when the next major general is to be appointed, and an Indiana man, Brigadier Gen- eral Frank D. Baldwin, formerly colo- nel of the Fourth Infantry, is to be ele- vated to the higher rank. The intima- tion that President Roosevelt is to turn down the hero of Calumpit and the son of the great Civil War leader came from Washington in a letter to State Senator Kimbrough of Muncie, who is | anxious that General Baldwin's meri- torfous war record be recognized. Baldwin has been the only American soldier to receive two medals from Congress and consideration of his ex- cellent service in command of the Fourth Infantry in the Philippines led | President Roosevelt to favor him, it is said. —_—————— GENERAL KAULBARS WOUNDED. | Commander of Second Manchurian Army Is in Hospital. LONDON, March 6.-—The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Tokio cables that the Japanese Colonel Him- mida was killed at the capture of Sei- kajo and that General Kaulbars, com- mander of the second Manchurian army, was wounded and sent to the hospital at Mukden. | The correspondent adds that 10,000 | Russian troops are reported to be at| Laopion, twenty-five miles south of Sinmintin, and that General Mist- | chenko has had a disagreement with ! General Kuropatkin and is returning to Russia. The correspondent in St. of the Times says: “Russian war correspondents express the greatest wonder at the irresistible | and frenzied rushes of the Japanese infantry. Russian critics are sur-! prised at the boldness and skill oti Japanese strategy of timing the on- | slaught when the winter has ended | but the rivers are still icebound.” SIS RUSSIANS HOLD PUTILOFF.

Y Japanese had captured Suchudzia and Lanshenpro the same day, while their attacks on Putiloff Hill and thirteen flerce assault on Kandolesan were re- pulsed. The commander-in-chief's dispatch, which is dated March 4, is as follows: “Friday night was quiet on the west- ern flank. On Friday a detachment of our forces on the Mukden-Sinmintin road met and fought a body of the enemy advancing from the westward. Gun firing has been audible since morning in the direction of Suchudzia. ““All is quiet on the center, except in the Shakhe zone, which the Japanese attacked during Friday evening, creep- ing up to the wire entanglements of our fortifications and hurling hand grenades. The attacks, however, were soon repulsed without succeeding in damaging the entanglements. “The Japanese guard during Friday evening continued its attack on Kan- dolesan and the tenth attack was re- pulsed at 4 o'clock this morning. Jap- anese corpses are piled high against our earthworks. “The enemy’s attack against the Gaotu Pass position was suspended toward Friday evening, but a renewal of it is expected. “Their operations on our left flank also were suspended on Friday even- ing and it was noticed that the Jap- anese troops opposite Kidiadzu were falling back. “Major General Schatiloft and Col- onel Gurko were among Fridays wounded. “To-day (Saturday) the advance guard of the enemy which is envelop- ing our right flank was noticed be- tween the Mukden-Sinmintin road and the Hun River, five and one-half miles from Mukden station. “The Japanese to-day captured Suchudzia, but have not advanced fur- ther. They also captured Lanshanpao after hard fighting. “The Japanese advance upon Shakhe station was commenced at 5 o'clock this morning, but has been suspended. The enemy has been driven back by volley firing by our advance guards . “Two Japanese attacks on Putiloff Hill, at 11 o’clock Friday night and at 1 o'clock this morning, were repulsed.” In a later dispatch of the same date, General Kuropatkin says: “The enemy renewed the attack on the Kandolesan positions, but was beaten back at 8 o'clock this morning with great loss. Altogether the Jap- anese delivered thirteen charges. The attacks have since been suspended. “Two attacks on the Kutilini posi- tion at 2 o’clock this morning were re- pulsed. “The night and day were compara- tively quiet on our extreme left. Our detachment at Kuchiatzu (about 22 of Liaoyang) advanced somewhat during the night.” . TWO SQUADRONS SIGHTED. LONDON, March 6.—The German steamship Numidia, according to the cerrespondent of the Daily Mail at Hongkong, reports having sighted two Japanese squadrons on Saturday, 100 miles southeast of Hongkong. The first squadron, comprising nine bat- tleships and cruisers, was seen at 2 o'clock in the morning, going at full speed, with all lights out, and the sec- ond squadron, of thirteen large war- ships, was sighted in the afternoon.

Neither in the memory of living men or in the history of the City of Brotherly Love is there any record of a campaign like this. The clergymen who are aiding the Citizen’s Committee of Seventy and Committee of Eight In the effort to stamp out the vicious conditions toler- t ated by the municipal authorities are now trying to bring about a great re~ ligious revival like that which recently brought 20,000 sinners to repentance in Denver. There is no trace of bitter- ness in the prayers directed at Mayor ‘Weaver and his administration. Mayor Weaver, asked to reply, said: “This subject comes under the head of public business, and I have made It a rule from the beginning not to dis- cuss public affairs on Sunday.” He did not seem disturbed by the fact that scores of pastors were ad- dressing earnest petitions to God to change his methods in administering the affairs of Philadelphia. The use of prayer as a weapon against the city government of Phila- delphia seems all the more remark- able when one considers that Mayor Weaver is an active and earnest church worker. He was in his usual place this afterncon, as he has been every Sunday for years, as leader of a Bible class in the Tioga Temple Baptist Church. No stress of political cam- paigning nor pressure of official dutles has ever caused him to miss one Sun- day. —_— e PASSENGERS OF OREGON ARRIVE AT PORTLAND Fifty-Five Travelers Taken Off Burn= ing Steamship Brought to Port by the Alliance.
