on EEE eeaiae PORT ARTHUR FORTS CAPTURED BY JAPS Have Been Seized After an All Day Fight. (By Associated Press.) , TOKIO, June 29, 3.30 F, M.—It is unofficially reported that the Chik- ‘Wan-Shan, Chit-An-Shan and So-Cho-Shan forts, southeast of and part of the Port Arthur defenses, were captured on Sunday after an all day fight, beginning with an artillery duel. So-Cho-Shan, it is added, was first capture? and the other forts fell soon afterward. . The Russians retreated west, leaving forty dead or wounded ! ‘ The composition of the Japanese force has not been ascertained, beyond the fact that it is safd to nave consisted of all branches of the service. The Japanese lost three officers and 100 men killed or wounded and captured two guns and a quantity of ammunition. The officials here do not confirm the report. If this be true the Japanese hava gained a foothold that makes the fall of Port Arthur only a matter of a short time, The forts tc the southeast ot Port Arthur are equipped with from five to eight superlor guns each, and are in turn commanded by disappearing guns in forts higher up the nuils. If the Japanese have succeeded in taking three of these forts they must have disabled other forts with fire from the battle-ships and landed troops either from transports or the fleet. RUSSIANS BEATEN IN TWO-DAY FIGHT. TIENTSIN, June 29.—It is reported that the Russians were defeated about sixteen miles east of Haicheng yesterday, and it ts added that owing to the rapid advance of the Japanese the Russians at Tatchekiao are hui- tiedly retreating north, fearing to be cut off. As previously reported from Halcheng yesterday, fighting occurred June 26 and 27 at Dalin Hill, about twer (y-five miles southwest of Tatche- lao, resulting In a Ruseian defeat. + KUROPATKIN’S PLAN SAID TO BE A FEINT. LONDON, June 29.—Nothing further has been beard of the reported re- treet of Gen. Kuropatkin to the north. The opinion in St. Petersburg seems to be that the retreat {s a feint to draw the Japanese further Inland and give them battle in a position chosen by the Russian leaders. The Russians insist that no battleship of the Port Arthur squadron was sunk in the recent engagement, although admitting that some of the ships ‘were damaged. On the contrary the confilct is claimed as a victory, the assertion being made that the Japanese suffered heavy losses, (bat the Rus- sian ships were able to leave and enter the harbor without particular dif- culty, and that a junction with the Vladivostok fleet is more than probable. RUSSIAN SUBMARINE i DROWNS 21 PERSONS. ST. PETERSBURG, June 29.—The submarine boat Delfin sank at her moorings in the Neva, off the Haltic shipbuilding yard, at 11 o'clock this faorning with the loss of cn officer, Lieut, Cherkasolf, and twenty men. ‘The officers and men detailed for sub-marine boat instruction had as- sembled at the Baltic yard and three officers dectded to go down in the Del- fin, although her captain was not present. relying on the experience of her philled crew. A score of novices were anxious to go with the three of- ficers. The Delfin’s nominal capacity is ten men, instead of which thirty- two entered the boat, bringing her manhole in dangerous proximity to the river level. Just then a ‘sug passed, sending a heavy wash against the boat. So soon as the water splashed into the submarine boat's interior it created a panic among the novices, and one of them tried to get out of the manhole which the older hands were screwing down preparatory to the jescent, ‘the submerging compartment having already been opened. The water rushed in, and as the submerged vessel sank like a stone the officers and some of the men were saved by being blown up through the manhole by the rush of escaping air The Delfin shortly afterward was raised. Lieut. Flaguin, who was one of the officers saved, said to the correspondent of the Associated Press: “The tragedy was like a dream, I remember a sickening sense of suffoca- tion from the fumes of the storage batteries and then a rush of air and water, The next thing I knew was that I was asnore.” The Delfin is Russia's best submarine boat, she was designed by Naval ‘Architect Boubnoff and Capt. Beklemisheff and underwent a successful trial In 1903, following tho Cronstadt squadron to Reval, A report has just reached the Assoclated Press correspondent that the Russian fronclad Netron Menia rammed the Russian battle-ship Navarin at Cronstadt this afternoon, The circumstances and the extent of the damage have not yet been ascertained. The Navarin is a battle-ship of 10,206 tons displacement and 9,000 in- @icated horse-power. She was completed in 1895 and was last commis eioned on Saturday. The warship has a belt of compound armor sixteen inches thick, twelve inches of the same armor above her belt, twelve inches on her bui«hoads and twelve inches over her heavy gun positions. Her armament consists of four 12-inch guns, eight 6-1uch guns, fourteen quick frers and four smaller guns. The speed of ihe Navarin is estimated at six- + teen knots and she carries a crew of 630 men. The Netro Menta {s a coast defense fronclad of 8,400 tons displacement. Bhe is an old vessel, having been completed in 1865, but was supplied with new boilers in 1897. She can burn Hquid fuel. The armament of the Netro Menia consists of fourteen 6-inch guns and probably a rew smaller quick- firing guns. Her armored belt is 3.5 to 4.5 Inches in thickness and she has »the same thickness of armor over her battery. REPORT OF KNIGHT'S DEATH ERRONEOUS. (Special Cable to The Evening World.)

Terrible doings out at Ovster Bay. Somebody has taken all the Roosevelt enthusiasm and burled It There being no competent resurrec- tlonist at Oyster Bay, the President's reception when he gets to the home of his boyhood next Saturday promise to be warm enough to preserve meat. Where the old anvil used to boom and the shrill voice of Maurice Town- send was heard elevating hugzas and the blare of the band scared the birds so that they flew over into Connecti- eut, naught will be distinguishable when the President reaches the station but the dul! thud of the Presidential baggage smiting the platform. Possibly the gnashing of the Prest- dential teeth may add to the subdued din, but this 1s mere conjecture. Jealousy is what has framed up for tue President an Oyster Bay reception akin to that generally accorded the re- mains of a man who has died in the Kiondike. The ‘old guard of the Repubiican party of Oyster Bay is vexed at the President. It was expected that when he became Ghief Magistrate Oyster Bay would get two ambassadorships, a Cabinet officer, three consulates and at least two dozen minor offices, paying from $2,000 to 3,000 or Bay got was two jobs. Both of them went to Democrats. One of the jobs was spurned and the other lasted only ninety days. It happened that Maurice Townsend, generalissimo of the Roosevelt recep- tions heretofore, was the man who got ihe ninety-day job. Mr. Townsend will Saturday. ‘The leading Republican citizens who have been working for the G. 0. P. for from twenty to forty-five years, by heck, are thinking of taking a run down to Ronkonkoma to witness a shooting mateh, There was an effort made to get up a reception for the President that would remind him of the day he did a mon- ologue on San Juan Hin. ‘The prime mover was Thomas J. Ellison, who sleeps in Oyster Bay at night and on Sundays and runs a plumbing shop in Harlem on week days, go fishing next Mr. Ellison called a mass-meeting, which was attended by sixteen per- sons, four of whom were negroes who had ‘been enticed into the hall with the expectation of seeing a magic-lantern exaibition, After giving three cheers for the President, Mr. Ellison called the meet- ing to order, announced that he would donate the ‘freworks, and asked for subscriptions to make up $5 with which to hire a band, Nobody subscribed, It was learned later that the Oyster Bay band |x no longer allve. Consequently, when Mr. Roosevelt gets off the train at Oyster Bay his arrival will be the signal for a wild outburst such as greets the fat mil- linery salesman ‘from New York who carries three trunks and gives the sta- tion agent a five-cent cigar, (en SCARCITY OF TANS AND RUSSETS.
