RUSSIAN ' LOSSES AT ?A FANOQW REROUTED FROM ?O BE ??MK Vladivostok Squadron Reported to Have Retiirnsd-Fnser Reports of Its Depredations M Con Situation at Port Arthur Report? ed to be Improved for Rus? sians. Japanese Pian of Campaign About Port Arthur Explained. Liao Yang, Jane 19.- For the firet time since the beginning of the war Gen. Kuropatkin has taken personal direction of operations and, in cons?? quence of his having assumed the offensive, results very different from those following recent events are anti? cipated. The tactics, of the Japanese are ad? mitted here, bot their strategy is criti? cised, especially with regard to the battle of Vaf aug tien (Jnne 14,) which may truthfully be called an artillery engagement. Daring the battle the infantry extendedjover the field fur? ther than the eye could reach, one di vision covering six miles. - Its spite, of the fact that up to the present the happenings have caused uneasiness, the possibilities of the southern situation are thoroughly ap? preciated. The naval attaches have abandoned their pian to .visit Port Arthur and are going to Vladivostock. The mili? tary attaches have left for the south? ward in anticipation of important de Shanghai, Jane 20, 4 p. m.-? wire? less'message from German sources re? ports that the Russian Vladivostok fleet of four cruisers joined the Port Arthur fleet during a fog, completely outwiting the Japanese. It is also reported that before reaching Port Ar? thur: the Vladivostok fieet destroyed ten Japanese transports, one of which was loaded with guns and ammunition for the siege of Vladivostok. SKBYDLOFF'S, RAID IS < OVER. Tokio, June 19, 5 p. m.-The re? markable raid of the Russian Vladi? vostok squadron evidently is over. The squadron disappeared yesterday off Cape Han&shi, steering to the north, and - it has not been reported since. It is assumed to be returning to Vladivostok. Whether or not a portion of Vice Admiral Kamimura's squadron is awaiting the Russians off Vladivostok is a carefully guarded secret. As? suming that Vice Admiral Kami m nra dispatched some of his vessels to Vlad? ivostok when he learned that the Rus ians squadron was off Iki island, these ships would have had ample time to arrive there ahead of the Russians and will be ready to give battle. The weather has been foggy and thus conditions have been against the Japanese. v It is reported that the raiding Rus? sians captured a British steamer laden with coal bound south from the island of Yezo, and sent her to Vladivostok .4vith a prize crew, but the report is not confirmed by the Japanese navy department The transports Sado, Hitachi and Izunii were the only ones overhauled by the Russians. Japan had 13 trans? ports in and near the straits of Corea the morning the Sado and Hitachi were caught and she was fortunate that only the three ships mentioned were overtaken by the enemy. It is impossible to get complete facts concerning the sinking of the Hitachi. She evidently failed to stop when sig- ! sailed to do so by the Russian vessel. The claim is made that Capt. Camp- i -bell, the English master of the Hita? chi, refused to stop and planned to ram the ruin, but this is denied, lt is said that the Japanese officers on board the Hitachi declined to surren? der and required Capt Campbell to keep his ship going. The assertion that the Russians fired upon the life boats in which men were escaping from the Japanese transport has been folly substantiated. The raid of the Vladivostok squad has brought an unwarranted amount of criticism upon Viee Admiral Kam imura from the Japanese and bis fail are to catch the Russians in the fog off Gensaa off the coast of Corea when the Japanese transport Kinsbin was sunk on April 26 with a loss of about 200 men, has been recalled. Some of these even declare that if Vice Admiral Kamimnra tails to catch the Russian vessels before tbe? reach Vladivostok he should either resign from the navy or commit suicide. The popular demand for his replace? ment is growing but the public is with? out information as to the nature of his orders or the plans of the naval cam? paign and fails to make allowance for the limitation of conditions. Vice Admiral Kamimnra:s squadron was lying off Tsu island when the raiding Russians reached Okino isl? and. He immediately started in pur? suit of the enemy but rains obscured the sea and an electrical storm inter fered with his system of wireless tele graphy. Vice Admiral Kamimnra is a splendid officer and the only possible indictment against him is one of lack of good luck. The Japanese generally magnify the importance of this raid, which has no material effect upon the war. It was a desperate veuture, and it is believed here to have succeeded only through blind lack. The Yawata and the Ansei, two sail? ing ships, were sunk by th? Russians on Thursday between Koa island and Ojkusbiri island off the west coast of Yesco and the north of the Tsugaru strait. Thirty-seven survivors reach? ed Esasbi on Thursday afternoon. Thia makes a total of five Japanese ships sank or destroyed by the Russiau raiders. ADMIRAL SKRYDLOFFS' REPORT St Petersburg, June 19.-Emperor Nicholas has received the following dispatches dated June 19, from Vice Admiral Skrydloff : "On Jone 15tb ocr cruiser division encountered in the strait of Corea a Japanese transport steaming from the sonth in the direction of the Japanese coast which was visible on the hori? zon. "On the expiration of the time given those on hoard to lower boats and leave the ship, permission to do which was taken advantage of by part of the crew, the transport was sunk by cur guns. "Shortly afterwards two more trans? ports were sighted to the southeast. The ships proved to be the Hitachi and the Sando, the former with troops and the latter carrying coolies, horses I and a railway plant. The transports refused to surrender and at the end of the period granted those on board to take to the boats the two vessels were sunk by torpedoes and shells. "The losses of the three transports, the tonnage of which aggregated 15, 000 tons, consisted of a portion of the troops and crews, a large quantity of war material and the railway plant. "On June lGth our squadron met the British steamer Allenton, which was proceeding south with a cargo of coal from the port of Mourorun, island of Hokkaido (the administrative name , of the Japanese island of Yezzo). The lack of clearances in her papers and the irregularity of her log excited sus? picion concerning the neutrality of her cargo. The steamer therefore was sent to Vladivostok in charge of a de? tachment of soldiers commanded by Lieut. Pitr?ff. She has arrived at Vladivostok where a prize court will consider her case.,, SKRYDLOFF ELUDED HIM. Tokio, JuneJX), noon.-Vice Ad? miral Kamimura returned to his base yesterday * (Sunday) without having discovered the Kussian Vladivostok fleet Tokio, June 20, j>. m.-Further reports received here show that the blow inflicted by Gen. Oku on the Russians in the fighting at Te li SSH (Vafangow) on June 15 was more se? vere than at first, was believed. The number of Russians killed in this battle will probably exceed 2,000 and their total loss, including' prisoners is estimated ai 10,000. The Japanese losses are less than 1,000, or about one-tenth of the Russian total Up to- June 17, Gen. Oku had bur? ied 1,516 Russians dead and he reports that macy more dead have been found. Chinese who watched the fighting from the Russian side report that the Russians removed many dead to the trains with: their wounded, and that they buried or cremated many corpses in the village of Hua Sung Kou be? fore they retreated. The number of prisoners and troph? ies taken by the Japanese is encourag? ing. Gen. Oku is not yet able to re? port the total number of prisoners. RUSSIANS SAY 3,000. St Petersburg, Jane 20, 5.05 p. m. -A detailed report of the Russian losses at the battle of Vafangow given out this afternoon places the total at 3,000 killed and wounded, mostly men who belonged to the troops forming the Russian right flank. WOUNDED OFFICER'S REPORT OF THE BATTLE OF VAFANGOW. Newchwang, June 20, 6 a. m.-A Russian officer who was wounded in the battle at Vafangow (Telissu) told an Associated Press correspondent that the losses on both sides were severe. He placed the Russian casualties at at least 7,000. He says no soldiers in the world could withstand the Japanese as they have been fighting lately. Their artillery fire, he claims, is mar? velously effective. The Russians fought stubbornly but were unable to withstand the enemy's dashing persist? ency. Several hundred wounded Rus? sians have been sent north owing to a lack of hospitals and surgeons. All the available transportation has to be used for supplies at the expense of the sick and wounded. The Japanese bur? ied most of the Russian dead after the battle. It is estimated on information obtainable that the Japanese force moving northward is 70,000 strong, with 90,000 men in the aggregate en? gaged in the operations at Port Ar? thur. Several Japanese spies have re? cently been captured a few miles south of Newchwang. The Russians are becoming more vigilant and are watching newspaper messages closely. USED LYDDITE SHELL. Si Mu Chen, Manchuria, June 20. -The Japanese artillery at the battle of Vafangow included heavy siege guns using lyddite and sweeping the whole battlefield. The Japanese suffered tremendous losses in turning the Rus? sian right. One battalion of the Twenty-sixth regiment was annihi? lated. The hospital station at Vafangow was repeatedly struck by the ene? my's shells, which mutilated the Rus? sian wounded. TO ISOLATE PORT ARTHUR. Washington, June 20.-An explana? tion of the Japanese campaign on the Liao Tung peninsula especially with reference to Port Arthur is contained in an advice that has reached this city from a source believed to be ab? solutely reliable. The Japanese tac? tics which have so puzzled the Rus? sians are intended to isolate Port Ar? thur but do not contemplate an attack on the place by Gen. Oku's army. The actual work of reducing Port Ar? thur will be confided to another Japa? nese army nuder command of Gen. Nogi, which will be landed on the peninsula (and indeed may even now be landed) at a point sonth of Gen. Oku's position and considerably nearer Port Arthur. On the first of June no less than 26 transports had been gath? ered at one of the Japanese ports to embark this army and it is probable that the vessels attacked by the Vlad? ivostok squadron were of this number. PORT ARTHUR'S STATUS. Indianapolis, June 20.-The News has received a special cablegram from Hector Fuller, its special staff war correspondent at Chefoo, giving the following account of his release from Port Arthur and the situation inside the besieged fortress: "Chefoo, June 20..-After spending five days in a Russian prison, I was released and put on board a Chinee junk and sent to this place. "The stories of starvation in Port Arthur spread by the Japanese are untrue, as stores and supplies are con? stantly arriving at the besieged city ? from Chinese ports, The Japanese j blockade is ineffective. "The garrison consists of between ii0.0(.0and 60,000 troops and the health of both soldiers and civilians is goud. "The damaged battleships have all been repaired and th? haroor entrance cleared of obstrnctions. Immense new forts have been constructed and, in my opiniou, the place is in no imme? diate danger of falling into the hands of the Japanese. "The Japanese attack by land and ssa made on the 8th inst., was easily repulsed. I was the first corresp?nd? ete to enter Port Arthur since ths blockade began." Mr. Fuller was rowed across to Port Arthur from the Miautao islands by two Chinamen in an open boat and li.nding June 13 was seized, blindfold? ed and thrown into a prison inside the fortress as was announced at the time by the Associated Press. RETURNED TO VLADIVOSTOK. St. Petersburg, June 20.-Under date of June 2:) Vice Admiral Skrydioff sent the following message to the emperor: "The cruiser division has returned to Vladivostok without los? ing any men or sustaining any dam? age." WAR CORRESPONDENT KILLED IN THE EAST. .New York, June 20.-A cable mes? sage io The World today, which was unsigned ont which The World sa;ps was probably forwarded by th3 American legation at Pekin, an? nounced the shooting of Col. Edward Emerson, Jr., one of The World's co-respondents in the east and convey? ed the impression that he had been killed. The cable stated it was reported that Cel. Emerson had been shot by retreat? ing Russians, who mistook him for a spy. Th? special cable to The World, da'^d Pekin, says in part : "There are indications that the Rus? sians have been routed. There is panic in Mukden." . RUSSIAN VICE ADMIRAL'S REPORT. Bezobrazoff Tells of His Destruc? tion of Japanese Transports. > Vladivostok, June 21.-Lying in the hai bor are the three Russian cruisers wh ich have just returned from their successful raid in the Japanese sea anc: the straits of Corea. Vice Ad? miral Bozobrazoff took the squadron out Jnne 12. The first day the war ships were fog bound. * They reached the Corean straits June 15 and were sighted and watched by a fast three-masted Japa? neso cruiser. Off Tsu island the Rus? sia! pursued a vessel resembling a yacht, which escaped in shore. They sank the Japanese transport Idznmi off Kotsu island. The Idznmi was brio ging back invalided soldiers from Porn Dalny, 105 of whom were rescued by ene of the Russian cruisers. The Japanese transports Hitachi and Sado were next sighted and soon after the Hitachi, which was filled with troops, disregarded the signal to stop, and put on full speed. The Russian cruisers thereuppon opened fire on the Hitachi, crippling her engines and setting her decks aflame. Still the Japanese refused to haul down their flag. The vessel was then seen to keel over and hundreds of Japanese jumped into the sea. They were all drowned. The Hitachi was then sunk by a tor? pedo. The Sado obeyed the summons to stop. She carried 1,350 coolies for railroad work in Corea, 1,200 tons of coal, 1,000 tons of rice, railroad and telegraph equipment, a hundred horses and ?I large amount of specie. The specie was throwu overboard by the purser. Besides ten boats, the Sado carried 12 rafts, each capable of carrying 100 men. As soon as the crew was ordered to leave the ship the coolies rushed on deck, filled the boats and headed them for the coast. Ad? miral Bezobrazoff sent boats to the Sado, to take off the captain and of ficere" Capt. Oguro, 12 military officers and three Englishmen in the Japanese service came. The others refused to leave the ship. The Rus? sians having done everything possible to s?.ve the lives of those on board, discharged two torpedoes against the vessel A heavy squall broke at the time and hid the sinking transport from view. A three-masted Japanese cruiser witnessed the whole affair. The Russians caught her wireless messages. The apparatus on the ene? my's cruiser worked incessantly and messages were recorded on board the Russian cruisers and were translated by some of the Japanese prisoners. One message read : "Tie Russians are in the straits. Run for safety." Tho Prize Court is certain to con? demn the British collier A linton, cap? tured by the Russian squadron during the raid. She came out at the begin? ning of the war and went around the Cape of Good Hope so as to avoid the squadron of Vice Admiral Wirenius, and then engaged in carrying Japa? nese coal from Muranron to Sasebo, Japan. The cargoes were nominally consigned in each case to British firms at Hong Kong and Singapore. The Sabo, according to Japanesa ad? vices, did not founder ; she was beach? ed on the east coast of Okino Island, and was eventually pulled off and towed to port. BATTLE AT HAI-CHENG DENIED. St. Petersburg, Jnne 21.-2.21 p. m. -The reports of heavy fighting at Hai Cheng are denied by the general staff. The Japanese are continuing to ad vance from Sin-Yen and there are co tinuous skirmishes between outpost but no "further advance of Gen. Oku army has been reported. The Russian losses at the battle Vafangow are turning out to be hea ier as the reports of the various reg ments come in. They are now plac< by a conservative official estimate ; 4,000, but equally well informal author ty expects the total to be no less tha 6,500. WAITED TWO MONTHS IN VAU Possiet, June 20. -(Delayed in tran mission. )-The Russian force stations at Slavianskayn, near the Corea frontier, has returned from that plac? after having waited two months fe the Japanese advance. AT PORT ARTHUR AND DALN1 Liao Yang, June 20.-(Delayed i transmission. )-A merchant of Poi Arthur, who has arrived here, saj that life in that town is practical! unchanged. There is, he declares, n shortage, of provisions, and the ga] rison is in excellent health. No lan attack has been made on-Port Arthui but there have been frequent bombare ments at long range by the Japanes squadron, which is cruising constant ly off shore. Dalny, according to this merchant is occupied by a Japanese battalior The destruction of the pier thei rendered Dalny useless for the landin of siege guns. Chinese arriving here from Vafar gow say the Japanese losses in th fight there was 3,600. INQUEST BEGUN. To Place the Responsibility for th Recent Calamity in New York Harbor. New York, Jnne 20.-The coroner' inquest was begun today in the mat ter of the burning of the steamer Slo cum and the great loss of life resultinj therefrom in New York harbor "on las Wednesday. President Barnaby of the Knicker booker Steamboat company, owner o the Gen. Slocum, was the first wit ness and from him it was learned tha ; the actual operation of the stearne was under Capt Van Schaick, wh< j received his instructions from Capt ? Pease. On application of the latter he said, an inspection of the Slocnn was made by the United States author ities before she was put in commissioi this year, adding, "It was report?e to ns that the Slocum was in thorougl good order and working condition." He had not personally inspected th< boat but said he had examined the re ports of the company's inspection anc that by the United States inspectior officers. The* certificate of United States in spection was placed in evidence. 11 certified that on May 7, 1904, the Gen. Slocum was in good condition, to car? ry 2,500 passengers, and that?|t hac aboard 2,250 lifepreservers. According to the testimony of Johr J. Coakley, one of the Slocum's deck hands, at the corner's inquest, he never had been instructed in a fire drill since he became an employee of the Knickerbocker company at the beginning of last season. Coakley said he first learned that the steamer was on fire when a small boy called his at? tention to smoke rolling down from the bow. Coakley said he ran up to? ward the bow of the steamer and found a blaze in the locker where the oil lamps were kept. He dumped char? coal on it, hoping to smother the flames, then he let down the hose and called for assistance. The fire was so hot that he and those who came to help him were driven ont of the lock? er, but they got the hose in position I and had just directed a stream on the fire when the hose burst. It was impossible to reach any of the life rafts, because of the panic, but one of the life boats was lowered. The other boats, were so surrounded by struggling persons that the crew could not get at them. The boat which they succeeded in clearing and which was filled with women and children, capsized while it was being lowered from the davits. Several of the men corroborated Coakley's story in most of the details, but none of them knew of the lifeboat being lowered. One of the men, James Corcoran, described the solid rubber washer attached to the standpipe to prevent water dripping into the hose and rotting it. To get this washer off so the hose could be used, it would have been necessary to disconnect the hose from the standpipe. Corcoran did not see this done. Edward Flanagan, the mate for the last two seasons on the Slocum, who hired the deck crew of that boat, said that the forward cabin where the fire broke ont was used for storing old lines and worn ont awnings and brooms. He had one barrel of sperm oil there and there were some empty barrels that had contained oil. "Were there any arrangments lo turn steam into the lower deck?" "Not to my knowledge." Flanagan denied any knowledge of the "false washer" which locked the fire hose. He said he manned the water pipes as soon as possible but when the water pressure came the hose burst. Flana? gan gave testimony as to the visits of the inspectors and said they condemned sbTie ot' tbe life preservers. The inquest was adjourned until to | snorrow. It was expected that striking facts would be adduced at the inquest, fer, j in addition to the proof that the Jife j preservers W6re rotten, that the firs hose burst, that the lifeboats davits would net work and that the life rafts were so fastened to the decks that they could net be moved, Coroner Berry was said to have evidence that many of the ring preservers were so heavy that they sank like lead. Two bodies were found on the bot- ' tom of the river with these ring pre- ' servers around them. Another charge which the coroner was to investigate was one to the effect that a portion of the guard rail to which four bodies were found clinging when it was raised from the bottom of the river yesterday was rotten and worm-eaten. Many More Bodies Found. New York, June 21.-Evidence of a startling nature, which doubtless will have an important bearing upon the ultimate result of the coroner's in? quiry into the Gen. Slocum disaster, was forthcoming at the inquest today. Perhaps the most unexpected inci? dent was the refusal to answer ques? tions of Henry Lundberg, a United States steamboat inspector, who was supposed to have inspected the life preservers and the hull of the ill-fated steamer. His refusal was based on the ground that an answer might tend to incriminate him and he acted on the advice of his counsel. The coroner committed Lundberg to the house of detention but later ac? cepted $500 bail for his appearance at the hearing tomorrow which was satis? factory to the assistant district at? torney. By the use of dynamite and heavy guns fired by men from the second battery scores of bodies were brought up from the bottom around the shores of North Brother island today. From sunrise to sunset the searchers along the beach and in the boats gathered in 112, bringing the number cf bodies recovered to date up to the appalling total of 845. Of these 700 have been identified and the missing still are approximated at something more than 300. Many of the bodies last found will never he identified because of the changes that have taken place during the week they have been under the water. Admiral Skrydloff has done much to restore the prestige of Russian arms by his daring cruise, which has naturally dstnrbed the enemy greatly and wrought considerable damage to them. His report to the Czar shows that in the destruction of the Japa? nese transports he overhauled, besides incapacitating a great number of troops, who were being sent against the Russians, he captured and destroy? ed a complete railroad equipment, which was doubtless designed for very important use by the Japanese. It may be that the raid of the Vladivos? tok squadron has given a material respite to Port Arthur and will Ira ve a most important effect on the Russian situation. Asheville, N. C., June 20.-Col. Charles McNamee, manager of the Biltmore estate, has resigned. It is understood that Mr. Vanderbilt has ordered a curtailment of expenses in every department at Biltmore, and that salaries all round are to be cut. It is also understood that Col. Mc? Namee is to go to Seattle io look after Vanderbilt's interests there. It ateo is understood that changes in a great many departments are to be made when Mr. Vanderbilt returns from the continent. Jackson, Miss, June 19.-J. B. Mills, treasurer of Summitt and a prominent citizen of South Mississip? pi, committed suicide hore early to? day, having come to a local hotel for the purpose, fie left notes to several persons, explaining that he had not the courage to commit the act at his home, and declaring that it was done bceause he was embarrassed financial? ly. lt was learned today that his ac counts^as treasurer of Summitt are all right, and that his financial difficul? ties were personal.
