The advance of General Oku and
Nodzu’s armies, and must be captured
before an attempt is made to flank
Liao Yang from the westward.
The Russian position at Anshanshan
Ls. as strong as that at Kin Chou. It
consists of a precipitous barrier fif-
teen miles long, flanked on the cast by
the river and on the west by a level
plain, and is Impossible of approach
by infantry from either side. The only
weak spot is to the east, where the
Japanese may mount heavy guns with
a longer range than the Russian pieces
and pour in a flanking fire.-It is
thought more probable, however, that
General Nodzu will trv to cut in be-
tween Anshanshan and Liandiansin
and cut off the former place from Liao
Yang. but an attempt tn do this would
be sure to t ntall a terrific fight with
the support sent out by General Kuro-
patkin. .
The diminished Interest in the'Port
Arthur situation in view of the 'aster
importance of Liao Yang is due in
some measure to the complete absence
of official news from Lieutenant Gen-
eral Stoessel (commander at Port Ar-
thur) and Rear Admiral Withoeft (in
command of the Port Arthur naval
forces).
The persistent reports from Chefoo
that the Japanese have captured two
commanding positions near Port Ar-
thur does not receive general credence,
it having been pointed out that the
battleship Retvizan’s big guns would be
able to shell a besieger’s batter/ with-
out danger to the ships and that the
Japanese guns are too far away. The
big naval guns of modern design are
proving to be of the highest value, and
for this reason the squadron will
probably not attempt to leave Port
Arthur unless the fall of the fortress
should become imminent. Another rea-
son for its remaining is that its de-
parture would have a depressing ef-
fect on the garriscn.
the whole war. The loss of such a posi-
tion with its vast accumulation of
stores would immediately and perhaps
irreparably endanger the Russian posi-
tion in Manchuria.
The military authorities do not en-
tertain the slightest doubt of General
Kuropatkin's ability to repulse an at-
tempt to capture or cut off Iao Yang.
The defense there has an immense ad-
vantage. operating as it does within the
small radius of twenty miles, thus
enabling General Kuropatkin to rein-
force any weak point. The army at his
disposal is estimated at 16b battallions,
besides cavalry and artillery, alto-
gether not far short of 280,000 men.
Only one-third of this force was en-
gaged in the fighting of July 30 and
31 and Aug. L
The pick of Kuropatkin's troops, the
newly arrived European regiments,
are stationed at Anping and Anshan-
shan, where the hardest onset is ex-
pected. Some of these regiments were
raised 200 years ago and have great

"Thank God.” sald a young man who
desired to purchase his sweetheart one
as big as a goose egg, who didn't have
enough cash to more than purchase
and furnish a home, ejaculated when
he read this bit of news in a paper pub-
lished in the efete East.
According to those who have gotten
close to the heart of Dame Fashion,
engagement rings are still worn by
girls who like to make a show of their
sentiment, but they are no longer in
vogue. They have been supplanted by
heart pendants with the chain welded
around the neck and never to come
off; and by armlts, which the beloved
locks and carries the key—until he
loses it; and there are any number of
other ideas—but—
The garter buckle is the latest?
And that Is what a certain young

tells of a strenuous en-

a dainty engagement buckle always
hidden from view she can fly about, be

P. B. Anderson, who works at the
Fort Worth Furniture company, and
who rooms at 815 Huffman street, last
night had his left arm fractured just
above the elbow, received a nasty gash
on his left temple, had his left thumb
nearly chewed off, received a cut on
his left arm, had his right shoulder
counter—the one when he received these
injuries.
According to Anderson. about 8:45
o'clock last night, while ne was walk-
ing in front of St. Patrick’s Catholic
church, he was set upon by two negro
men who assaulted him, with robbery
as the motive. Anderson at that time
had something over $100 on his person.
The two men simultaneously attacked
him and inflicted all the injuries save
the chewed thumb.
After the men had extracted the
money from his trousers’ pocket they
started to flee. Anderson gave chase
to one of them, while the other dis-
appeared in the darkness. He followed
this negro to a woodyard on Fourteenth
and Throckmorton and there, overtaking
him, knocked him down with his sound
arm and took $95 of the $100 and some-
thing more stolen away from the
negro. While Anderson was going
through the pocket of the negro, the
darkey. according to Anderson, caught
his left thumb and almost Severed that
member from his hand.
Anderson returned to Pangburn’s
drug store after he had recovered his
money. He first gave his name as Tom
McGuire, but later stated that Ander-
son was his right name. Dr. Harper
and Dr. Barber were called to dress the
injuries. Later Anderson was conveyed
to his home. .
The first intimation the police had of
the affair was when H A. Hungerford,
chief operator at the Fort Worth Tele-
phone company, telephoned to the sta-
tion that there was a fight in front of
the church and directly across the street
from the office of the telephone com-
P ‘ I heard a man loudly shout police*
several times,” said Mr. Hungerford
last night. "I also heard a woman's
voice once or twice. There appeared to
be a general fight, in which Qny two
parties were involved. as far as I could
judge by the sounds of the voices. As
quickly as I heard the shouts I tele-
phoned to Officer George, who an-
swered at once. By the time, however.
, that George reached the scene the par,
ties had disappeared. He went to the
railroad tracks, but says that he saw
no one. I am reasonably positive that I
heard the voice of a woman and Irecog-
nixed the voice that called for the po-
lice as being that of one person.”
Officer George says that he went
over the territory which Anderson says
that he covered in pursuing the thief
and that he saw no one who had seen
any fast fleeting figures.
The holdup took place about 9145
o'clock, according to Anderson, and it
was not quite 10 o'clock when he first
appeared at Pangburn’s drug store for
medical treatment., When the $95 in
bills were counted out he asked if there
was not $100. A second count again
showed $95.
“Well, that’s part of the coin,” was
the comment passed by -Anderson. lie
then told his story, giving his name as
McGuire. He stated to a Record man
that he was set upon by two negro men.
Hungerford heard a woman's voice and
the voice of a man.

all that hollering wes going on.". sai3

Copy Telling of Heavy Fighting There
Reaches Chefoo.
Chefoo, Aug. 4. 7 p. m.—A newspaper
published at Port Arthur and which
was brought in here today gives frag-
mentary details of the recent heavy
fighting there.
The Japanese artillery opened a des-
ultory fire on the afternoon of July 25.
That night the Russians slept on their
arms in the trenches. They occupied
a line sixteen mies long. . The next
morning, July 24, the fog cleared away
at 6 o’clock and the Japanese then
began to fire along the entire line. This
fire was kept up until dark. The Jap-
anese marksmanship was mast accurate,
showing that they had derived benefit
from the practice of the preceding day.
Their heaviest fire was directed
..gainst the batteries, which included
the twelve-Inch naval guns, commanded
by Prince Tscheidse and Captain Skryd-
lorf. A perfect shower of shells hit
the earth works or went screeching into
the vslley behind, doing considerable
damage to the artillerymen.
The hottest fighting began at day
break of July 37. The battle com-
menced under the rays of a scorching
sun. The Russian wing was commanded
by Major General Kondratenko. who
was compelled to undergo the brunt
of the terrific cannonading.
T6 this fierce fire the Russians re-
plied with deliberation. The naval bat-
tery was again made the target for
the heaviest fire and it was evident
that the Japanese were trying to si-

lence the most dangerous Russian po-
sition. A perfect shower of shrapnel
was thrown into the valley behind the
Russian batteries and Major General
Kondratenko remarked that the Japa*
nese evidently believed that the Rus-
sian reserves were in this valley. From
the naval gunboat observers occasion-
ally saw shells bursting near the other
batteries. As the day wore on the ac-
tivity of the Japanese increased.
In the meanwhile the Russian In-
fantry, passive, witnesses of the ar-
tillery duel, lay in their trenches await-
ing an attack. They were well pro-
tected and only a few shells fell among
them.
At 9 o’clock volley firing gave warn-
ing of the Japanese arrival, which fol-
lowed swiftly. As the Japanese in-
fantry advanced the Japanese artillery
fire slackened somewhat, but the Rus-
sian batteries kept up with increased
vigor, while the Russian riflemen vol-
leyed rapidly and with great animation.
For an hour,the Japanese advanced
rapidly in the. face of a fire which is
described as a tnousand volcanoes in
simultaneous eruption.
The Japanese advance against the
Russian right wing ceased and the Rus-
sians cheered, but at this moment news
arrived from General Stoessel, the com-
mander in chief at Port Arthur, an-
nouncing that the terrific pounding
to which the Russian right wing had
been subjected was nothing more than
a mask to cover the concentration of
Japanese troops, preparatory to an at-
tack upon the Russian left wing, of
which Wolfe Mountain was the key.
General Stoessel commanded the pres-
ence of Major General Kondratenko.
who. with his staff mounted his horse
and started to join the commander in
chief.
After having ridden a short distance
Major General Kondatenko was com-
pelled to choose between two roads, one
long and safe from the firing enemy,
the other shorter leading through a
shell swept valley. "God favors the
brave,” remarked the general, and ho
and his staff galloped safely over the
dangerous road.
At noon, July 27. the Japanese, who
had been attacking, suddenly ceased
firing and presently observers with
the aid of field glasses could see the
enemy quietly eating rice. After this
(he right wing was occasionaliy re-
minded of the presence of the Japanese
by the descent of a huge shell, but the
worst was over.
In the meanwhile the main attack,
which resulted in the rapture of Wolfe
Mountain, had been developed:
During the fighting of these three
days the Russians used telephones for
communication with all parts of the

Notifed That -Lower Lino River Is
Thickly Mined.
Washington. Aug 4—Mr. Griscom,
the American minister at Tokio, has
notified the state department that the
commander* in chief of the Japanese
forces in Manrhuri deems It necessary
that foreign war vessels should neither
enter Yin Kow nor the river Liao, nor
ancher there until order has been re-
stored in that region.
This notice fs ttade necessary by the
fact that the water of the lower Liao
river adjacent to Yin Kow, which is
the port of New Chwang and ap-
proaches thereto, was thickly planted
with submarine mines by the Russians
when in occupation, of which fact no-
tice was duly given to the government
of the United States and other mari-
time nations by the Russian govern-
ment. As the Japanese have assumed
respohsibility for forien shipping by
the oce upation of New Chwang and Yin
Kow. such shipping will have to wait
for entrance until the mines are re-
moved.
