EPOCHAL

BATTLE

Tokio, May 2. The Russians were forced to abandon Antung yesterday. They burned the town and retreated to Feng Huan Cheng. The Japanese now control the estuary of the Yalu.

Tokio, May 2 The Japanese have captured Chiu Tien Cheng, ten miles north of Antung, which is regarded as the key to the Russian position on the right bank of the Yalu river. It is expected that the Russians will retreat to Feng Huan Cheng, which is on the road to Liao Yang. St. Petersburg, May 2. The general staff account of the operations on the Yalu river Sunday is as follows: "At 4 o'clock this morning Japanese field batteries with forty-seven guns opened a terrific fire on our position at Turonchen and on our troops posted near Potietinsky. The overwhelming superiority of the Japanese in artillery and the heavy losses their fire inflicted on our troops occupying these positions made it clear to General Sassulitch that it was impossible to hold Turenchen. Consequently the troops were ordered to retire from Turenchen while still holding the Potietinsky road. When General Sassulitch dispatched his telegram the Russian troops were retiring in good order from Turenchen and Schakheday to their second position and the battle was continuing at Potietinsky and Tchin Gu." Tokio, May 2. After five days of fighting, largely with artillery, the first Japanese army under General Kuroki has forced a crossing of the Yalu river and with a gallant infantry charge covering a frontage of four miles, it drove the Russians from Chiu-Tien-Cheng and the heights on the right bank of the Iho or Aida river, which enters the Yalu from the north almost opposite Wiju. The Japanese turned the left flank of the Russian position and in the battle of Sunday they swept away the new front interposed by the Russians to check their onward movement. The present position of the Japanese is a dominating one, and they may force the abandonment of the defenses erected by the Russians at Antung and other points lower down the river. General Kuroki began the movement on Tuesday by ordering a detachment of the imperial guards division to seize the island of Kurito, which is in the Yalu above Wiju, and a detachment of the second division to seize the island of Kinteito, which is situated below Wiju. The detachment of the imperial guards met with some resistance, but it succeeded in clearing the enemy out and occupied Kurito island. The Russians abandoned the island of Intlnto when attacked by the detachment of the Second division. The battle was waged intermittently until Sunday morning, when General Kuroki centered all his artillery on the Russian position between Chiu Tien Cheng and Yoshoko. To this fire the Russians made reply with all their batteries. At 7 o'clock in the morning the Russian battery at Yoshoko was silenced and half an hour laier.General Kuroki ordered his line, stretching for four miles, to attack. The Japanese infantry, on the word of command, charged across the Iho, wading that stream breast high, and began storming the heights at fifteen minutes past eight. At 9 o'clock they had swept the Russian line back across the plateau. No report has been received in Tokio concerning the losses sustained by th Japanese in the fighting Sunday. It is believed that these losses were heavy, particularly during the infantry charge. The reports of this fighting which have been received here do not Indicate whether the Russians retired down the river or in the direction Feng Huan Cheng, on the road to Liao Yaag. A Bloody Battle. Supplemental reports from General Kuroki covering Sunday's fighting says: "The Russians made two stands. The enemy's strength included all of the Third division, two regiments of the Sixth division, one cavalry brigade, about forty quick-firing guns and eight machine guns. We have taken twenty-eight machine guns, many rifles, much ammunition, more than twenty officers and many noncommissioned officers and men as prisoners. I am informed that Generals Zazolltch and Castolinskl were wounded. Our casualties number about 700 and the Russian loss is more than 800 men." Japanese Landing Plans. Chee Foo, May 2. It is expected here that the Japanese will land on the Liao Tung peninsula near Taka Shan, If they have not already done a

GENERAL IXOUYE. Commander Twelfth division Japanese army, now, on the Yalu. o'clock Saturday night and the imperial guards of the Second division crossed during the night, the Russian left flank had been turned and a general attack bern at dawn Sunday. Nearly all the Japanese batteries on the south bank of the river and a flotilla of gunboats is co-operating with the army. The Japanese have the advantage of position and numbers and are confident of routing the enemy.

HOW IT WAS DONE Official Details of Japanese Land Victory. Washington, May 2. The following telegram dated May 1 has been received at the Japanese legation from Tokio: "General Kuroki, commanding tae first army, reports that on the 26th of April preparations were made for laying bridges across the Yalu. On the same day detachments of the imperial guard and of the Second division attacked and dispersed the enemy on Islands in the river and occupied the islands. In those engagements sixteen of the imperial guard were seriously and nine slightly wounded, while there were no casualties in the Second division. The enemy retreated, carrying many dead and wounded, toward Chiu-Tlen Cheng. A Russian cavalryman taken prisoner said that the Twenty-second, Twenty-third and Twenty-seventh infantry regiments of the Eastern Siberian sharpshooters formed the van of the Russian force. Lieutenant Senyloff, commanding the mountain scouts of the Twenty-second regiment, was found dead and was buried at Wiju. Ninety-five dead horses were found. From noon of the 26th until the 27th the enemy fired intermittently upon Wiju, but no reply was made. On the 26th two gunboats, two torpedo boats and two steamers detached from the sqadron of Admiral Hosoya ascended the Yalu and exchanged shots with the enemy on Antzushan and silenced him. The detachment suffered no damage. On April 28th two infantry companies of the imperial guard reconnoitered Hushan and a part of the company was detached to Sitzu Yuen, from which place the enemy fled, leaving five dead. The enemy flred at long range from the neighborhood of Chiu Tien Cheng upon Wiju without much effect upon our works. On April 29th the Twelfth division commenced bridging the river at Suki Chin and completed the work early on the morning of the 30th and the army crossed. From 10:40 a. m. to 1:30 p. m. there was severe firing on all sides, but the enemy was soon silenced. Our losses were five officers slightly wounded and noncommissioned officers and men, two killed and twenty-two wounded. At 8 p. m. of the same day the bridge over the main stream was complete and the army crossing, advanced upon Hushen. On the same day the detachment from Admiral Hosoya's squadron advanced below Antung-Sien and fought at close range with 400 of the enemy's infantry and cavalry. The enemy's artillery also directed a heavy fire against the detachment, but retreated after about an hour's firing. There were no casualties on our side. On May 1 at daybreak our forces commenced cannonading and silenced the enemy's artillery on the hill northwest of Yu Shu Kou and at 7:30 all divisions advanced the attack and by 9 a. m. took possession of the heights. TERSE TELEGRAMS The first Sunday of the world's fair found the gates tightly closed. Sir Thomas Lipton has been created a Knight Commander of the Order of the Crown of Italy. Delos 9. Mills, aged 86 years, said to be the oldest trareling man in the United States, is dead at Racine, Wis. ! The Japanese legation at London has received a long dispatch comflrming the reports of fighting on the Yalu River. Samnel Parks, the former walking delegate of the Structural Iron Worker's Union in New York, is dying in the hospital at Sing Sing prison JJThe fourth annual convention of the AmeriIcan Federation of Catholic Societies will be held in Detroit, August 2-5.

London, May 2. No Independent accounts of the fighting on the Yalu have reached London, and various opinions are expressed this morning regarding the importance of the Japanese victory. It is considered in some quarters that it was never the intention of the Russians to hold the right bank of the Yalu except for tactical purposes, and that the real struggle has not yet been reached. All the papers, however, recognize that the success of the Japanese will greatly enhance their prestige. The Telegraph in an editorial takes the rather extreme view of comparing the capture of Chiu Tien Cheng to that of Waterloo and Plevna, and says that the present misfortune is even more serious because the Russians have been driven from a fortified position in spite of every advantage conferred on its defense by modern weapons. The fight, the editorial says, "must modify forever the destinies of Europe and Asia."

MANY WERE KILLED In Renewal of Hostilities Between Armenians and Kurds. Constantinople, May 2. According to official advices there has been serious fighting in the Sassun district of Asia Minor between the troops and Armenian insurgents numbering 2,000. The troops lost twenty killed and twenty-three wounded. Twelve villages in the Talori district have been destroyed, but whether by insurgents or Kurds is not known. There are 10,000 troops in the disturbed area. Private advices say that the Kurds attacked two villages north of Sassun, losing twenty-six killed. The Sassun district of Asia Minor became notorious in 1894 because of a series of massacres of Armenians by Kurds. In the same year there were massacres of Armenians in the neighboring districts of Bitlis and Mush. DENMARK'S NEUTRALITY Harbors to Be Mined and Closed to Warships of Belligerents. Copenhagen, May 2. A royal decree dated April 27 has just been published. It declares that since Denmark will observe strict neutrality during the Russian-Japanese war orders have been given for the purpose of enforcing this neutrality In the event of warlike operations extending to the neighborhood of Denmark. The inner navigable waters south of the island of Zeeland, bounded by the meridians of the island of Omo and the town of Stege, shall be closed by fixed submarine mines and access thereto and to the roads and harbor of Copenhagen shall be prohibited to the warships of the belligerents. Otherwise the warships of the belligerents shall be free to put Into Danish ports, subject to International neutrality regulations. Infected Soap Causes Death. Fort Wayne, Ind., May 2. Marcus E. Jones died at South Whitley from blood poisoning, due to infection caught from using a cake of soap which had just been used by a doctor after dressing the tubercular leg of a patient. Jones had an abrasion of the skin on one hand, and in a few hours it began to pain him seriously and the hand became swollen out of shape. Medical science could not check the progress of the poison and Jones died In great agony. Chicago Bakers Strike. Chicago, May 2. Two first of May strikes were ordered Sunday, one involving less than 1,000 bakers arrayed chiefly against the nine largest bakeries in Chicago. The other strike was ordered by the picture-frame workers' union against the six principal picture molding concerns in the city. Not over 500 workers are affected by the latter strike. Encouraging Attendance. St. Louis, May 2. While no figures were iven out as to the actual number of persons who paid admission to the World's Fair Saturday, It was officially stated that the attendance was less than 200,000, but larger, according to President Frances, than that at the World's Columbian exposition at Chicago or the Centennial at Philadelphia the first day. Alabama Negro Lynched. Prattville, Ala., May 2.
