I ' j FIRE WAS HOST GALLING At One Time the Japanese Wero Forced Back, But Returned With Renewed Energy and Finally Forced Russians to Retire. An Associated Press dispatch from j St. Petersburg says: General Kuro| patkin, in his iirst dispatch to the emj peror from the scene of war, announc ed that offensive land operations had taken place against the Japanese upon the sixth anniversary of the occupation of Port Arthur by the Russians. The operations took the form of a cavalry attack Monday by' six companies of Cossacks,led personally by Gen- j eral Mishtchenko, against four squad- : rons of Japanese cavalry, which the general believed to be beyond Chong Ju, but which he found to be in occu- i pation of that town. | Despite a cross fire which General ! Mishtchenko cleverly directed against the enemy, he paid a tribute to their tenacity and their bravery, the Japanese only ceasing fire after a com- i bat which lasted for half an hour. Before the Russians could follow up their advance, three Japanese squadrons galloped toward the town, of which two squadrons entered, while t)he third was driven back in disorder, men and horses falling. The fire maintained on the town was ; so destructive that tne Japanese were unable to make an effective re- i turn. Further Japanese reinforcements ar- ! rived an hour later, and, in view of i the superiority of the enemy, General | Mishtchenko determined to retire, doing so without embarrassment, al- | though he carried with him three killed and sixteen wounded. General Mishtekenko's Cossacks have been endeavoring'for some days to come in contact with the Japanese patrols, but the latter refused to fight. The skirmish of Monday will have the effect of encouraging the Russians j to retard as much as possible the ; advance of the Japanese army. General Kuropatkin's dispatch reporting General Mishtchenko's operations as published does not give the place of its origin, but it is presumed that the commander in chief Is either at Llao Yang or en route to Niu- j chwang.

I The Japanese legation in London ! has received the following official report from Tokio of the fighting bei tween Japanese and Russian forces ! at Chong-Ju, Korea, on Monday: ! On March 2S a portion of our cavalry and infaatry forces occupied Chong ! Ju, arter defeating the enemy. The ! enemy, who numbered about six hundred men, retreated in the direction of i Wiju. Our casualties were Lieut. Kar.? -ana four nthors killed: Captain Ku rowaka ancl twelve others wounded, of : the cavah y force. j There w :re no casualties among our ! Infantry. Two dead bodies were left by the enemy on the field, but it is reported that some seven or eight were killed inside the town. Those were promptly carried off by the enemy on horseback or in ambulances. The Russians were seen conveying in an ambulance two dead men, apparently officers and bloodstained bandages were found scattered around. The enemy must have sustained | losses at least equal to our own. A St. Petersburg special says: A later dispatch from General Mishtchenko reports that on the authority of the inhabitants of Chong Ju, Korea, the Japanese lost forty men killed, one hundred men wounded and a number of horses during the fighting there Monday. The Japanese employed five hundred Koreans to carry their i wounded to Anju. General Mishtchenko adds that Captain Stopanoff also was among the Russians wounded and died Tuesday. J The above, which was dated March 29, was forwarded to the emperor by General Kuropatkin. j ADMIRAL TOGO REPORTS. i Jap Gives Details of Latest Attempt to Bottle Port Arthur. Admiral Togo's recital of the second attempt to bottle up the Port Arthur squadron and the sixth attack on that port was received in Tokio, Japan, Tuesday, says a special dispatch. Admiral Togo's report, in part, is as tollows: "The united squadron again left for Port Arthur last Saturc'iiy. On Sunday morning at 3:30 we commenced "preparations for blocking the harbor entrance. The four steamers which were to be sunk escorted by a flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers, advanced to the entrance, facing the enemy's searchlights. About two miles from the entrance the bottling up squadron was discovered by the enemy. Exposed to the fire of the fortresses on either side and also to that from the enemy's ships on guard, and braving these dangers, the four steamers ran into the waterway at the mouth of the harbor. One of the steamers, the Chyo Maru?anchored about half a chain from the western shore -of Golden Hill blew itself ip and sank. The* second one, the Kukui Maru, passed to the loft of the Chyo Maru and advanced a short distance when sfce was struck by a torpedo from the enemy's destroyers. She sank in that position. The third one, the Yah'ko Maru, went to the | left of the Fukui Maru and blew herself up and sank. The fourth steamer, the Yoneyma Maru, reached the harbor entrance and colliding against the stern of one of the enemy's torpedo destroyers, she managed to reach the middle passage by passing between the Chyo Maru and Fukui Maru. Just at that moment one of the enemy's torpedoes struck and sank her. Her momentum brought her toward the left shore and with her bow toward the left side she stink sidewise. To have accomplished the work so far under great disadvantages and dangers must be cons dered a success and should command admiration. It is to be regretted, however, that owing to some space being left between Yahiko Maru and the Ycneyma; a complete blocking of the entrance has not been effected. The vessels engaged in this work are those which had been engaged in the same work before. It was by their special request. Only petty officers and crews were supplanted by new men. The casualties follow: Killed, Com mancier mruz ana uii w peitjr umtcia, mortally and seriously wounded, Lieutenant Shimada; slightly wounued, Lieutenant Masuki, Engineer Kurita and six petty officers and men. All the remainder of the crews were safely picked up by our destroyers."

PRESIDENT ANGRY I Refutes an Insinuation of the Army and Navy JournalI i WHITEWASH IS CHARGED; Investigation of Collision Between Battleships Result in Sensation. Thorough Probing Will Be Ordered. ; A Washington special says: PresiI dent Roosevelt took a hand Monday j in the controversy which has grown out of the report upon the Missouri* ; Illinois collision, which nearly resulted in the loss to the United States navy of one or both of these highly , valuable ships. He had a long confer- i ence with Secretary Moody, and 1 is i understood the result will be a ;e- j mand upon The Army and Navy Jo-jr* ' nal for the authority for its stater, a: j that telegrams were sent member, of ; the court of inquiry before the :.ading and that these were designed to secure action favorable to Captain Cowles, of the Missouri. Secretary , i Moody. after the conference, said: "I have made a pretty careful in- j ' quiry as to the statements that have I been published. This does not show ! that any one sent telegrams to the , court of inquiry. This much is cer- i tain: No such telegrams were rent | from the white house or from my of- | fice. I intend to continue the inves- ' tigations, and quick and positive ac- : tion will be taken should it be found that this is the case. I intend to probe this matter to the bottom. It is the desire of both the president and myself that there shall be a most rigid investigation." I Secretary Moody's statements re- j j fer to telegrams "To the court of in- j quiry." The charge of The Army ar.d Navy Journal was thai they were sent ; to "a member of that court." It Is j ' stated at the white house that the ! president has directed that nothing bo left undone, because Captain Cowlcs is his brother in law. If it is ascertained that influence was used to prei vent fair investigation and to shield ! Captain Cowles. the president, would direct that a court martial is ordered, the fact3 will show to the discredit of Captain Cowles and compel severe punishment of that officer. In navy department circles, as well as political, it is said that there are suggestions that a court martial would be the only satisfactory way out of the affair, but th's is regarded as natural, in view of the prominence of Captain Cowles. and his connections. It is understood that The Army and Navy Journal will "stand pat" upon its charge that such telegrams were sent. J The Army and Navy Journal, the; old conservative service paper of the. country, devoted cons derable space; in ks issue of April 2d to this case. In referring to the record, this jour-' nal says: "It contains the finding of the court' of inquiry, the endorsement upon it by Rear Adm'ral Barker and Judgej Advocate Lemly. the inclusions ofj the secretary of the navy and a lettej J from the secretary of Admiral Tew ey ana Aumirai newey s repiy. ins record does not include, however, the two dispatches by 'high authoritj' at Washington to a member of the court previous to the fin Mng." It is the talk ir navy ctcIgs that previous to the finding of the cotrt of inquiry, two dispatches were sent to a member of that body by some ono "high in authority" in Washiigton, wh'ch were intended to influence the finding of that court. It has also been discovered tiat the finding of the court, which in a half- ( hearted way recommended that no further proceedings be taken was not the unanimous decision of tie court, but was simply concurred in )y a majority of the members.
