here in a junk. He says that the Rus-
sians had no permanent fortifications
at Kin cuou, but simply trenches: the
country around had been mined. forc-
ing the Japanese to take to the water.
When they did so, the Russian gun-
boat Bohr was taken to the head of
Talien-Wan Bay. from whence she
threw shells across the narrow neck
of land, killing hundreds of Japanese.
The Russians likewise suffered more
from the fire from the Japanese gun-
boats than from the artillery and in—
fantry firs. The people of Port Ar-
th at, the Russian merchant states, are
confident and ready for the final test
of strength by the opposing mines. The
town is quiet,
All the soldiers have gone to the
front. Thus far there have only been
skirmishes between Dalny and Port Ar-
tour.
The Russian merchant states that.
as far as he could see and learn, all

Arthur, with the exception of the bat—
tleship Pobiedu had been repaired.
Whether the repairs were permanent
he was unable to say.
MOSCOW, June 15.——’l‘hc mobiliza—
tion announced for this city extends
only to officers and surgeons on the re-
scrve list. Two hundred and sixty of-
beers have been called out.
m.-'i‘hc anpintomcnt of Licutcnant
General Leonidas Dcmbowski as com-
mander of the Fifth East Siberian Ar-
my Corps. is evidence that larger rein-
forcements are to be placed at General
Kuropatkln's disposal. The four corps
originally formed or Siberian troops
are mobilized in Manchurla and other
drafts have been sent out to the Far
East. the organization of thc new
corps independent of the Russian
corps, now ordered outf rom European
Russia, shows that Kuropatkin now
has almost 200,000 troops, irrespective
of frontier and railroad guards. and
that probably she has an effective army
of 160.000 men at Lino Yang. General
Delinbowski is a distinguished strute‘
gist. He participated in the Russo-
Turklsh war, and was commander of
the grenamer corps after the war. Lat—
er he became head of the Paul iul'utr
try School. and held that position till
two years ago, Since then he has born
on the personal stuff of the War Min-
later.

er of the destroyers made an effort to
secure a cause from the Novik, but af-
ter following the boats for a short dis-
tance, the cruiser returned safely to
ort.
