of the London Morning Post viith the

lieu. l
Several exigagemeuts between the
Russian and Japanese forces liaiVe been
reported as having occurred atior near
Wafaug-Tien, that town being; occu-
pied by the Japanese June 19; and it
is possible that if the report; of Mr.
Knight‘s death be true he was killed in
one of these battles. Spectators at
one of the engagements state that they
saw three horsemen appear on a hill.
one of whom resembled eitherl an Arn-
erican or British attache. Ti is man
fell from his horse when the usslaus
fired and was evidently killed.

vey an idea of the conditions prevail-
ing in the besieged city. One writer
says the civilians, though knowing
something of what In occurring, are
ignorant of the progress of the war.
Little Information leaks out. Most of
the non-combatants have caves in the
bills or underground cells where they
spend the nights in safety. Bands play
occasionally in the parks and the
prices of food are slightly higher. The
Chinese are suffering severely In
many ways as a result of the fighting.
The food on the junks is provided by
the government to enable the Chinese
to leave Port Arthur. The Red Cross
nurses, in the absence of regular work
have established eating houses for the
needy. Some of the Chinese are still
working on the new ship building
works.
Russian Battleship Stranded.
LONDON, June 28 (3:45 p, m.).—~A
despntcb to the Central News from To-
klo says it is reported that another
Russian battleship has been discover-
ed stranded off Tiger Rock. it is pre-
sumed she was wrecked while return-
ing to Port Arthur after the recent nu-
val engagement.
Attack of the Japanese.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 28.-—The
emperor has received the following dc-
spatch from Gen. Kuropatkiu. dated Ll-
ao-Yang. .lune 27: .
“The Japanese attacked our forces
occupying Mo-Shui and Ta Passes
June 26. Our infantry and cavalry re-
treated. persuaded that the advancing
divisions of the Japanese army which
were operating against each of three
passes were stronger than our detach-
ments. in the attack on Ta Pass, the
Japanese Guards besides other regi-
ments participator]. The Japanese
made a frontal and flank attack in con-
siderable force on both sides of this
position. The Japanese troops occup
led Fen Shui and MoTIen Passes dur-
ing the morning of June 27."
“Our forces which retreated from
Fen Shut Puss were attacked by small
detachments of Japanese. They were,
however. easily repulsed.
”After positing back Our advance
guard during the evening of June 26.
from Vanriiapudze (on the Sin-Yen-
Hai-Chcng road) to Tn Pass. the Ja-
panese continued their advance today
against our position in a defile. For
some time the attack of the Japanese
infantry bridge was repelled. Three
battalions were engaged to the frontal
attack. But being menaced by other
troops engaged in a flanking move-
ment our forces retreated."
"Reconuoiteriug parties report that
one portion of the Southern Japanese
army is moving northward with the
intention of joining General Kurokl's
force.
"At noon today our cavalry was hot-
ly engaged near Sue Yu Chen,
“All the reports of the last few days
state that the forces of Japanese ar-
rayed against our Manchurian army
consists of eight or nine infantry tile
visions and several brigades of re-
serves, which also occupy positions in
the fighting line.“ '
Mo 'l‘ien Pass and Fen Shui Pass are
about due west of Line Yang. Ta Pass
is midway between and north of Mo
Tie-n and Fern ShIiI Passes are between
Lino Yang and Mukdcn and about sev-
enty-five miles from the railroad con-
necting Lino-Yang and Mukden. It
will thus be seen that the Japanese
forces which have occupied the passes
mentioned are turning the left flank of
the Russian position at Lino Yang and
are threatening the railroad connect-
ing Liao Yang and Mukdeu.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 28, 7:10 p.
m.——'l‘he Associated Press is informed
on good authority that General Kuro—
patktn has decided to withdraw north-
ward.
WASHINGTON, June 28.——The Jap-
anese iegation has received the follow-
lng cablegram from Tokio, under to~
day's date:
“Our Takushan army reports that af-
ter six hours' severe fighting on June
27. they occupied Sen-Shul-Ling, twen-
ty-three miles northwest of Stu-Yen.
The enemy, who consisted of five bat-
talions of infantry: two regiments of

order toward Tonuching. Our casual-
ties are estimated at about 100 killed
and wounded." '
