al i l ' 'jjj VOL. XVII., NO. 213. WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1904. FIVE CENTS - V 4 X l(f it 0L a? LACK OF NEWS There is no Definite In formation from the Seat of War ACTION GOES ON Little is Known Beyond the Fact that Kuropatkin Has Withdrawn His Army Across the Taitse River The Report of the Occupation of Liao Yang by the Japanese Has Not Been Definitely Proved A Few Additional Details of Thursday's Fighting List of Casualties in the Battles Before Liao Yang is Grow ing and Will Amount to Many Thousands. The lack of definite information from the seat of war continues to this (Saturday) morning, and nothing fur ther regarding the situation at Liao Yang is. known beyond the . .fact thai! Kuropatkin has withdrawn the main portion of his forces to the north or right bank of the Taitse river, and that, according to the latest advices, the action is still in progress. There is disinclination in Si'. Peters burg to believe that Liao Yang has been abandoned, and at the same time it is declared that the position Kuro patkin now occupies is the one he had prepared and fortified and where he has long planned to make his second siand, instead of directly in and around Lia0 Yang with the river at his back as has been believed. It is thought by Russian experts that in at tacking Kuropatkin's present defenses, the Japanese are facing an almost im possible attack, especially with their forces divided by the river. Advices reaching Tokio say that the Taitse is flooded and cannot be ford ed, and it is pointed out "the river it self becomes an important factor in the general scheme of Russian de fense." Dispatches from both Russian and Japanese sources indicate that the troops on both sides 'lire jaded and weary after the many days' fighting, and it is pointed out that in conse quence a temporary lull in the active struggle would not be surprising. A dispatch received at. Tokio says that great fires are raging at Liao Yang, ' believed to result from the Japanese shelling or from the effort's of Russians to destros their stores preparatory to the evacuation of Liao Yang, with the additional hope of in juring the city as a future Japanese base." The opinion prevails in the Japa .nese capital thac the Russian casual. ties in the recent fighting will reach- 30,000, while the Russian losses of August Jil and September 1 are given in official reports as 5,000 killed and wounded. The report from Marshal Oyama that he was engaged on Thursday with tlie Russian centre would indicate that at least a portion of Kuropatkin's army was still on the south bank of the river. It is not yet definitely stated that the Japanese have occupied LiaoYang The Fighting at Liao Yang. Tokio, September 2. The fighting at Liao Yang was continued until" a late hour last night. It was resumed at dawn today. The fate of the great bulk of the retreating Russian army hinges upon the bravery and fortitude of its left flank. Before falling: back. General Kuro patkin intended that his left to the eastward and northward of Liao Yang .snouid be greatly strengthened in the hope of escaping General Kuroki's ad vance around his flank and to protect his line of retreat and communication. The greatest portion of this protecting iorce seems to have been massed in the neighborhood of Heiyingtai, 12 miles northeast of Liao Yang, where it was fiercely assaulted by General Kuroki at 11 o'clock Thursday morn ing. The result of this fighting is not known. If General Kuroki wins and strikes the flank of the retreatinsr Hus sian army, and reaches the railroad, it will place the Russians in a seri ous predicament. Ypstprdav the Jananese manaered rJo interfere seriously with the transpor tation serviee if rom Liao Yang. They used some guns captured from thw Russians, together with some of their own gunsto bombard the railroad station at Liao Yang, thus preventing the entering of Russian troops. Few details of the pursuit . of the Russian right have been received here. It is expected that the Russians are moving back slowly, contesting the ground, and shielding tlieir move ments as far as possible. Nothing concerning the actual occu pation, of Liao Yang has been receiv ed here. Official dispatches indicate . ithat the Russians were still in posses- sion of Liao Yang this (Friday) morn ing. The list of casualties in the fighting? before Liao Yang is growing, and the indications" are that it will prove to be the bloodiest battle since the Franco Prussian war. The calculations of casualties must include the losses since' August 23, for the contest has been practically continuous since then. The Japanese have already reported over twenty-five thousand men killed and wounded. Japanese Advance Continues. Tokio, September 2. -3 p. m. The chief of staff of the central Japanese army, General Nodzu, telegraphing early this morning, reported that the Japanese center was continuing to ad vance today with the object of talcing a line from Shinchiyen to Liao Yang and effecting a juncture with wthe Japanese left commanded by General Oku. . , Ascendancy Was Gained by a Night Assault. 1 r Tokio. September 2. Noon A tel egram received here from the chief of staff in tne field indicates that Gener al Oku. in command of the left .Tana. nese army, gained the ascendancy over tne itussian right and centre by a nignt assault. Russians Began the Retreat Thursday. Tokio, September 2. 10 a. m. The Russians began to retreat on the right center from Liao Yang- early Thurs day. They were thrown into great confusion while attempting to cross to tne ngnt oank or tne Taitse river. The Japanese pursuing them vigorous Jy, seized a Russian cannon which they used to shell the Liao Yang rail road station. Field Marshal Oyama's ngnt attacked a heaw force of Rus sians in the vlcinitv of Heivinirtai. 12 miles north of Liao Yang, at 11 o'clock inusaay. His left began at dawn to day pressing the Russians towards Taitzjio. It is thought that he will severely punish the Russians. The Japanese casualties In the Liao Yang engagement have not yet been ascertained officially, it is announced today that they will not exceed ten cnousana. Kuroki Continues to Press the Attack. Tokio, September 2.-9 p. m. A few additional details of the progress of tne battle at Liao Yang reached Tokio at a late nour today. General Kuroki's risht is eontinu ing to press the attack at Heivinsrtai. seeking ground when their guns will dominate the railroad. The troops under. General Kuroki are jaded and weary. They have been marching and ngnung since August 2 3, but In spite or mis they attacked with spirit. The Japanese are confident that they have already swept back the strong Russian iorce -vitn wnicn tney nave been en gaged, and it is probable that when the details are known, it will hp fmmrt that a great' tragedy was enacted today aiong tne raitse. The Taitse is flooded and cannot be forded. General Oku. in command of the Japanese army, has directed his ener gies to torcing the Russians to the liver, and it is probable tliat many were drowned there. A private dispatch received here re ports that great fires are raging at Liao Yang. This statement is not con firmed officially. The fires are be heved to result from the Japanese snelliner or from the Russian's at tempts to destroy their stores oreoar atory to the evacuation of Liao Yang. with the additional hope of injuring the city as a Japanese base. Unofhcial estimates nlace th. "Rus sian forces in the vicinity of Liao Yang ai' fifteen divisions of 15.000 each These are probablv excessive, but it is evident that numerically the Rus sians exceed the Japanese. The ODinion that the "Russians ras ualties in the recent fighting will reach 30.000 is confidently exnected in hisrh quarters here. Neither Field Marshal oyama.-nor the Japanese army com manders nave yet estimated the Rus sian losses. It seems that-the Jananese avoided a direct assault upon Liao Yang, but devoted their energies to the irooP3 outside the city and an effort to cut off the Russian retreat. Liao Yang is strongly fortified; and it is nrobahle that' the Japanese will not attack the city directly until thev have succeed ed in isolating it. Should the Rus sians abandon Liao Yang, the Japa nese will of course enter. Meagre Details of Recent Fighting. St. Petersburg:. .September 2 4 -so P- m. At four o'clock this afternoon the war office received a dispatch from feternoiT, sent to the emperor last night bv General Kuronatkin rJnton t P. m. yesterday, and transmitted to the war office for publication. The information is extremelv meae-re nnri ohlv reveals the truth in the Hfrht nr tne interpretation of those who are conversant writh the situation at Liao Yang. It is possible that this is justt- naoie on stragetic grounds. As communicated to the nrpss. th. dispatch states i:hat an artillery hattio proceeded till the hour of sending it and that the Russians Were retiring upon their "main positions;" that Gen eral Kuroki was attacking the Russian left; north of the Taitse river; that the railroad station, which is situat. ed a mile. northwest of Liao Yang, had been set on fire by Japanese shells; that the station had been transferred across the river to a point on tlie north bank; that Kuropatkin had passed in review the third Siberian corns under General Ivan off. which suffered trreat- lv in the earlier stages of the battle on the east front and finally iliat the Rus sian losses for the two davs were 5.000 killed or wounded.

"I have confidence in the reports from all parts of the country that the Demo cratic party is thoroughly united' he said. "The party will poll its normal vote, but this will be true also of the Republican party. This year, as in many former years, the independent vote will be the-decisive element, and It appears to me that the trend of this vote is toward Judge Parker." Regarding his plans for the campaign, he said: " "My labors will be confined to my Own Particular enhere. and T shall e.T- tend my writing to do as much -for, Judge Parker as I can. I have nob beehT on the stump since 1892. I said at that time that I would not attend another national convention or again go on the stump. IE was in! seven consecutive conventions and feel that I have ' done my part. I was asked to make an ad dress next Wednesday night to the Democratic editors who are to meet In iNew York and I have accepted. On this occasion I have decided to speak from the subject 'If I were a Republi can.' Hf, I were a Republican now, I would vote for Parker, and in my ad dress I will tell why I would vote for. Parker." : . " There was considerable surprise at Rosemount this evening when a correc tion was made of a statement issued in and Mrs. Parker had completed their and Mrs. Parker had completed thir arrangements for a St. Louis trip. It is now announced that Judge Parker has changed his mind in regard to the trip and in all probability will not leave Rosemount agrain during the campaign. FIRE AND OIL EXPLOSION.
