((Correspondence of the Associated
Press with the First Japanese Army.)
TIEN SHI TIEN, Manchuria, Aug.
32.—The lessons of the campaign are a
text constantly before the eyes of the
military observers with this army. They
have made no revolutionary discoveries
thus far; indeed, the chief lesson has
been the overshadowing Importance of
that complete proposition which has
made every cog of every wheel of the
great machine slide quietly Into Its
groove at the appointed minute and the
attention to details for lack of which
the servants of the czar are wasting so
much brave food for powder.
The work of the Russian artillery
early on the 81st of July commanded
the highest praise from every one.
jwaa in strong contrast to the showing
made at the/Yalu and was in every re
apect a credit to that arm of the Rus
sian service. They gave the Japanese
artillery a hard day of it and compelled
the batteries with the Japanese left di
vision at morning to flank the Russian
|Tlght to shift their ground repeatedly
to avoid the fierce and accurate fire
jjoured upon them wherever they
opened. Moreover, the bravery of the
..Russian gunners was beyond all praise.
Many statements have appeared in Eu
ropean newspapers about the supe
riority of the Japanese guns, but their
.■work so far Illustrated the western
eaylng that “Success Is not In holding
* good hand but in playing in luck.”
But the showing made by the Rus
sian infantry leaves much to be ex
plained. If their trenches had been
held by marksmen like the Boers there
would have been no question of the
(Japanese reaching them without heavy
loss, If at all. They were dug In
splendid positions on the sides and the
summits of hills and the approaches
across the valley and up the hillsides
had little cover except patches of corn,
iY*t the Russian defense was either re
markably weak or only a demonstra
tion. Moreover, there were the same
blunders In management that marked
U\e Yalu.
The great number of casualties
Smong the Russian officers nnd par-
tlcullarly the generals, while no Japa
nese general has been hit. Is duo large
ly to the different theories of the gen
eralshlp followed In the armies. The
generals of the Japanese nre directors,
while the Russians cling to the old
Fkobelleff tradition of a commander at
the head of his men leading the fight
lng. From the Japanese we can see the
White coated Russian officers riding
conspicuously before their troops while
from the Russian It must be hard to
discover the Japanese officers, because
their uniforms are so like those of the
ganks and because General Kurokl and
the lesser generals usually are some
where behind the fighting line, manag
ing their battles by telegraph and tele
tfiione.
Probably electricity has never played
Ho great part In warfare as It does
with the Japanese. Every general of
the brigade In the field Is like n modi
cm gnbassador rt the end of a wire,
Which'*he divisional commander con
trols nnd the generals of the divisions
tire Intouch with, bu telegraph or tele
Jphone, the corps commander.
The engineers run wires after the
columns with marvelous rapidity. Fir-
lng Is heard somewhere at tb* front
a detachment of engineers merges
from headquarters, pack ponies carry
ing bundles of light bamboo poles
while coolies nnd carts follow them
Kith colls of slender copper wire. The
ESOPUS, N. Y.. Sept 18.—William
Sheehan, chairman of the national
Democratic executive committee, and
Representative Francis Burton Harrl
son of New* York, vice chairman of
bureau of organization of upper New
York state, were the only important
political callers at Rosemount today.
They conferred at length with Judge
Parker, concerning political matters.
Mr. Sheehan returned to New York
during the afternoon with the Inten
tion of going to Saratoga some time
tomorrow.
Interest here centers in a conference
which Mr. Sheehan Intends to have at
the earliest possible moment with oth
er leaders to determine on the most
available candidate for governor. Jus
tice Win. J. Gaynor of Brooklyn, nnd
Justice D. Cady Herrick have both
been mentioned prominently In this
connection in the last day or two.
Judge Parker has made no changes
!n his plans concerning participation
in the campaign. It Is announced that
he has not arranged to spend any defi
nite number of days each week In New
York, as hns been reported, but that
the Judge will go to New York only
when It will be more convenient to
meet his political manngers there than
It would he for them to come to Rose-
mount. No time, however, has been set
for such trips.
The announcement was also made
that the Judge will not go on a speech-
making tour but that he will make all
his speeches from the veranda at
Rosemount.
Judge Phrker and members of his
family drove to Kingston today, where
they attended church services.

Military Observers Think
Crisis Is On
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Students of the Situation Say Japanese
Realize That Their Continued Inac
tivity ?t Port Arthur Increases Re
sistance Power of the Russian Gar
rison Confined There.
CHE FOO, Sept. 18.—(Midnight,)—
Local students of the military situation
at Port Arthur, basing their deductions
upon recent developments there, are of
the opinion that another grand assault
1s either occurring at the present time
or is imminent. This opinion Is based
on the very heavy bombardment of the
Russian stronghold that occurred on
September 16, for such a bombard
ment forms the usual prelude to as
sault, on the arrival here of Important
messages from Port Arthur at a time
when the running of blockade Is ex
ceedingly perilous.
In addition to the foregoing there Is
common knowledge that the Japanese
realize that their continued Inactivity
Increases the resistance power of the
Russian garrison nnd their consequent
desire to make such period of Inactivity
as brief ns possible.

CHE FOO, Sept. 18. 11 p. m.—Chi
neae, Russians nnd Japanese here all
agree that the Japanese vessels block
ading Port Arthur are paying particu
lar attention to Junks which for months
pnst hnve been trying to smuggle sup
piles Into the fortress, and thnt when
caught the crews are roughly treated.
The Junks generally nre sunk nnd the
men on board taken Into Port Dalny.
By mistake the Japanese sunk a Junk
which was carrying dellcneles to Gen.
Nogl from an admirer, but a part of
the cargo wan recovered. Gen. Nogl
commands the Japanese besiegers.
Russian civilians who have reached
here from Port Arthur say that canned
corn beef Is plentiful there and that the
fresh meat supply consists of twelve
horses slaughtered dally.
All the Russians have agreed that the
Japanese do not occupy any fort on the
Inner line of defenses. The forts which
were damaged have been repaired al
most as good ns new during the com
parative quiet of the Inst eighteen
days.
: WiR NEWS SUMMARY!
Cist of th. Intolliaonc. From
Russo-Jap Conflict in th.
Far East.
St. Petersburg continues with
out official confirmation of the
report that the Japanese are ad
vancing north of Mukden, and
the statement is therefore not
credited at the Russian capita!.
General Sakharofr reports that
there was no fighting In the vi
cinity of Mukden Friday or Sat
urday. but notes the arrival of
reinforcements of Japanese along
the whole line of the Japanese
rent.
The Interval of quiet has af
forded General Kuropatkln op
portunity to strengthen his ds-
fenses and he has received lorge
reinforcements since his retreat
to Mukden.
There are Indications of a re
vival of the struggle for tho po-
sesslon of Port Arthur.

says:
Judge Lynch held court In Franklin
county today and as a result the rid

'are was done to death by a mob
for fatnlly shooting C. Y. Daniel, a son
of George Daniel, of Danlelsvllle, Ga.,
today. Young Daniel and the negro
had some words over a trivial matter.
It Is said the negro becoming greatly
enrnged and swearing that no xvhltq

SARATOGA, N. Y., Sept 18.—Al
though there nre many well known
Democrats here tonight, the absence of
some of tho foremost lenders who will
be most influential In the ^election of
the ticket to be nominated at the Dem
ocratic state convention which begins
here at noon on Tuesday, prevents the
situation taking any definite form.
Former Senator David It. Hill, State
Senator P. II. McCarren, Charles F.
Murphy, leaders of Tammany Hall, for
mer Senator Edward Murphy, Jr., of
Troy, nnd William F. Sheehan, nil of
whom are recognized ns Important fac
tors In the solution of problems before
the state Democracy, are not yot upon
the seen*.
Everybody, regardless of political
affiliations, agrees tonight thnt no defi
nite settlement has been reached us to
the nomination for governor. It Is con
ceded that so far as actual pledged
delegates nre concerned, John B.
StanchAeld of Elmira has the lend. Tho
name of Edward M, Shepard of Brook
lyn 1s prominently named by many of
those here tonight for head of their
speculative ticket. Assemblyman Geo.
M. Palmer of Schoharie Is mentioned
for lleutennnt-governor.
The Tammany people who are here
mention four named ns those of candi
dates, any one of who will be accepta
ble to Tammany Hall. These names
nre those of Shepard. Palmer. Judgo
D. Cady Herrick of Albany, and Judge
Wm. J. Gnynor of Brooklyn. They
press themselves as opposed to Mr.
StanchAeld and equally so to Comp'
troller Edward M. Grout, who Is men
tinned ns likely to he favored by Senn
tor McCarren and the Kings county
organization and certain of the up
state leaders.
There is no movement In evidnee In
favor of the nomination of District
Attorney William Travers Jerome.
W. Caryl Ely was put forward to
night by some of the Nlngnrn county
people ipnd it wa* said that he might
hnve the support of the twelve Erie
county delegates formerly pledged to
Charles W. Goodyear, as well os that
of t!ip Cattaraugus delegation. At the
same time the nnrine of Daniel N.

tioned with Interest by some of the

Tho name of Charles N. Bulger, of

LONDON. Sept. 18.—It Is asserted
In a dispatch from Toklo to the Ex
press that tho Japanese are vigorously
shelling the Russian positions at Muk
den, preparatory to a general advance
and endeavoring, by a wide turning
movement, to cut off General Kuro
patkln'* retreat. The Japanese armies,
tho dispatch adds, nre disposed In the
same relative positions as in the fight
ing before Liao Yang.
St, Petersburg Doubtful.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 10.—2 a.
in.—The reports thnt General Kurokl
Is rushing on northeast of Mukden aro
not borne out by official telegrams that
have been received here. According to
the latest advices, the Jnpnneso forces
continue to Incrense at Blunlupuzn and
Venial. A derisive ndvance In the dir
ection of Mukden Is, therefore, not ex
pected to* occur for some days.
Meanwhile Indications Increase that
probably the Japanese are meeting
with resistance. The Russian forces
at Mukden are very large and every
day’s delny enables the rommnnder-ln-
chlef to perfect hls defences. Dispatch
es from Vladivostok nnd Bknhnllu
make no mention of developments
there nnd the long promised Japanese
operations against Hknhalln and Vlad
ivostok. which were expected to art as
a diversion for Gen. Kurokl'a ndvance
ni’o not yet In sight.
The disarming of the Lena at San
Francisco Is accepted’ h*i e na having
been Inevitable In view of the consid
erable length of time required to repair
the vessel's hollers. It Is editorially
pointed out that the United Stntes’ de
claration of neutrality expressly pro
vides for vessels of n belligerent power
using American ports for needful re
pairs, but admits that Russia could
scarcely expect to be nllowod to keep t
a war ship eight months In a neutral
port without disarming. «

The Horrors of War.
CHE FOO. Sept. 18. 9:80 p. m.—Ac
cording to Lieut. Prince Badselvllle of
the Russian army, who reached here
lost night from Port Arthur bearing
dispatches from Lieut. Gen. Stoessel,
commander-ln-chlef, to Gen. Kuropat
kln, the temper of the belligerents at
Port Arthur has reached an absolutely
merciless stage. Prince Badselvllle
served with the British In tin* Boer
war and he says that until he became
aware of the atate of affairs at Port
Arthur he had no Idea thut the war
could be so horrible.
It waa set forth In these dispatches
some weeks ago that serious suspi
cions were entertained by both bellig
erents that the other was misusing
the Red Cross flag. These suspicions
have been Increased by the committ
ing of various acts of both armies un
til now even flags of truce or surren
der are not respected by either side.
Prince Badselvllle declared that the
men of both armies are absolutely
venemous In'their antagonism. Lieut.
Gen. Htocsael has addressed hls gnrrl-
■aylng that the present mood of
the Japanese Indicates clearly the ne
cessity of resisting them to the last
drop of Bussian blood, because If the
Japanese soldiers entered the fortress
it would be Impossible for their offi
cers to control them and prevent
massacre. For this reason Lieut. Gen.
BtoesseJ Is making no objection to civ
ilians leaving Port Arthur.
Wh$n the three hundred womeq
who are in Port Arthur engaged in
boapltai work were advised to leave,
they replied that would rather face the
possibility of massacre than desert
their |*>*ts.
In consequence of the fact that flags
of truce are Ignored, numbers of Jap
anese dead who have been lying oi
the slopes of the hills of northeast de
fenscs for weeks past are still'unbur
led, and the stench In Port Arthur
from decomposing bodies, when the
wind .Is In the right direction. Is si
most unendurable. In the course of the
assaults which took place la the four
lost days of August, two companies of
Japanese soldiers, according to Prlnco
Badselvllle. found themselves at the
mercy of the Russians and hoisted a
white flag. To this, however, the Rus
sians paid no attention and continued
ranks of the enemy. In the meantime
Japanese troops In the rear of tho
companies that had rained tho white
flag, saw what their comrades had
done and expressed their disapproval
of the surrender by firing into thoir
rear. A* a result of this fire from friend
nd foe, six hundred men were anni
hilated. For days afterwnrds tho
tided men fluttered handkerchiefs
In pleas for help.
Prince Badselvllle got into Port Ar
thur a fortnight ago carrying dlx •
patches from Gen. Kuropatkln to
Meut.-Oen. Htocasel. The prince said:
The stories Gn circulation concern- -
lng the shortage of ammunition and
provisions at Port Arthur nre not true.
There is an abundance of ammunition
for both ’urge and small srma nnd
plenty of preserved food. Tho nso of '
Chinese Shells was merely n saving
measure. I left Lieut.-Gen. Stoesa.»l In
the best of spirits. He Is encouraged
by the heroic example set by tho
wounded men, of whom five thousand
out of the original eight thousand In
hospital have returned to the front.
There ha* been no lighting a’nri* Sep
tember 1 with the exception of artil
lery nnd outpost exchanges. The Jap
anese sheliH have done great damage
to the hospital and other hull iing^ In
’ort Arthur but the lost of Ilf*; from
f»e*e bombardments has be'-u wry
slight.
Madame Htoessef, wife of the gen
eral, I* at the head of the Red Cron
work In Port Arthur. The sold’ors
consider her their guardian angoi. The
garrlaon is maintaining a strong and
devoted martial spirit and ha* great
confidence in Lleut-Gen. 8toe«*eef, v*ho
Is cheered by the men when ho ride*
along tho lines.
Individual acts of heroism during
the fighting have been numerous. One
company of Russian troops wero occu-
plng a perilous outpost and when the/
found their position to be untenable
they sent the following message to
Lieut.-Oen. Stoessel:
" 'We are unable to hold this pml-
tb»n.*
But you ran die he said in reply, and
so they did.
'On Sept. IS the bodies of 2.600 Jap
anese soldiers were discovered between
fort No. 2 and fort No. 8. The stench
from the decomposed bodies attracted
Investigation. The Russians admit
that they are not able to explain what
engagement resulted In this slaughter."
LONDON. Sept. 19.—The Dally Tele
graph's Che Foo correspondent sayi:
'Two Cossacks who hav* arrived
here from Port Arthur asiert that
General Kuropatkln told Lieutenant
General Stoessel that he must hold out
until January and they say that the
garrison has ammunition and food for
six months. This probably (■ great
ly exaggerated. Other refugees say
that n-» fresh meat la left at Port Ar
thur and that the garrison there Is
reduced to 8,090. Lieutenant General
Stoessel has not allowed the publica
tion of Novi Krai since ScyL 8,” >
