THE WAR IN 1 Fighting in a Small Way Reported in I \ I Points It NO DECISIVE BATTLES, HOWEVER 5 Both Sides Seem to Be Playing For Time In Which to Collect All Their i Forces. 1 Tokio, By Cable.?The advance i guard of the Japanese army in, Northwestern Korea occupied the town of Songe Cheng yesterday afternoon . without opposition. Senge Cheng is on the Pekin road. 18 miles west of Clieng-Ju and about forty miles south [ of WijiL ^ When the Japanese drove the Rus. sians out of Cheng-Ju last Monday 1 the Russians withdrew in two col[ umns, one going over the Koak San [ road and the other over the Peking road. The Japanese advance from Chong-Ju was made very rapidly. It was anticipated that the Russians P would resist this advance, but they ? failed to do so. and it is not probable there will be any further opposition : south of the Yalu river. Cheng-Ju, because of its superior , natural surroundings, is the strongest place between Ping Yang and Wiju. Besides these natural advantages there is an old Korean fort there which, had it been defended with spirit, would have been hard to take. J The Japanese are gratified with the . comparative ease with which they drove the Russians from this fort. 3 Russian patrols are reported to be } in the country east of the Peking road, but it is not probable that there is any considerable force of Russians , in that section. The patrols are > withdrawing gradually to the northward toward Yalu. , , 5 It is reported that the ice on the j t j Yalu is well broken up, and in the fu- a ture the river must be crossed either , 1 in junks or over pontoon bridges. j A dispatch from Tokio to the Asso- n ciated Press, dated April 1, said information had been received from a 1 private lodging the enemy at Cheng- c ! Ju had advanced to the Yong Chun t (about 45 miles west of Cheng-Ju), p from which place they drove the Rus- c sians after a brief engagement. It is possible that the many different spellings given to Korean names in * 1 gazeteers and on maps have led to t i confusion and that Seng Cheng in j the above message and Yong Chun. . i referred to in the dispatch of April i 1, should be the same place. The 3 two towns, however, are quite dis- f , tinct, being about 25 miles apart. p 1 St. Petersburg, By Cable.?The Novi r Kroi. of Port Arthur, thus describes e 1 1 ?

In spite of the precautions, icwever, it Is considered possible there r.ay be attempts at rioting, but the uithorities will suppress these with a iirong hand. The following private telegram was eceived today from Odessa: "Reports of anti-Jewish disturbances .vhich always are common at Easter :ime, causes more alarm than usual his year because of the occurrences ast year. The Jews here are nervous, jut the authorities have confidence in Governor Edhardt, who is an energetc and humane man, as well as in 3aron Kaulbars, commander-in-chief if the troops in Russia.

St Petersburg, By Cable.?General Kuropatkin. in his first dispatch to the"~ Emperor from the scene of war, announced that offensive land operations had taken place against the Japanese upon the sixth anniversary of the oei cupatlon of Port Arthur by the Russians. There operations took the form of a cavalry attack Tuesday by six companies of Cossacks, led personally by General Mishtchenko against four squadrons of Japjnese cavalry which the general believed to be beyond Chong Ju, but which he found to be in occupation of that town. Despite a cross fire which General Mishtchenko cleverly directed against i the enemy, he pays tribute to their tenacity and bravery, the Japanese only ceasing to fire after a combat which, lasted for half an hour. Before the Russians could follow up their advance three squadrons galloped toward the town, of which two succeeded In entering, while the third was driven back In disorder, men and horses falling, i The Cossacks have been endeavoring ipr some days to come in contact with the Japanese patrols, but the latter refused to combat. This skirmish will have the effect of encouraging the Russians to retard as much as possible the advance of the Japanese army,1 General Kuropatkin's dispatch, reporting General Mishtchenko'0 .operations, as published, does not give the '* place of its origin, but it is presumed that the commander-in-chief (8 either at Liao Yang or enroute to New, Chwang. Gen. Kuropatkin's report is as fellows: "I have the honor to respectfully communicate to Your Majesty the report of Gen. Mlshtchenko, dated March 28, at 10 p. m., which says: M 'For three consecutive days small outposts attempted to draw the Japanese cavalry into action, but their patrol after contact was established, retired beyond Chong Ju (about fifty miles northwest of Ping Yang). " 'Having learned that four squadrons of the enemy were,posted five versts beyond Chong Ju, on March 27 six companies marched toward Kasan, and on March 28 reached Chong Ju at 10:30 a. m. As socn as our scouts approached the town the enemy opened fire from behind the wall. Two squadrons promptly dismouted and occupied the heights 600 yards distant. An engagement ensued. Fire at Blltmore. Asheville Special?A disastrous Are occurred on teh Biltmore estate Tuesday morning about 3.30 o'clock, when the mule stables and the residence of Bert Halyburton were completely destroyed, entailing a loss of from J10.000 to 120,000. The origin of the fire Is unknown. The fire was first discovered shortly after three o'clock, and the stables were then ablaze. By hard work all th stock in the barns was gotten out with the exception of two horses, which were burned to death. A large number of farming Implements were housed in the buildings, and these, together with a con" * * 1 nrnro alcA siaeraoie amuuui. ui mu, saved. The residence of Mr. Halvburton was situated about three hundred yards from the stables, and the high winds carried the blaze fto this building, which was soon ignited, and was completely destroyed. The house of the keeper of the stables is located ?. on the opposite side of the barn from where Mr. Halyburton's residence stood, and as the wind was blowing in the opposite direction this building was damaged. The stables and the residence that were destroyed this morning were comparatively new, they having been built only about two years ago, and were splendid structures. The mule barn was a large and modern structure and had a capacitiy for the stablnig of from 60 to 75 head of mules or horses. The loss to the estate is covered by insurance, and the buildings will probably be replaced in the near future. Conditions Improving.
