The Russians were in full retreat, with the Japanese pursuing. ' iGene,ral Kuroki's army, .on the Jap- anese right, crossed the Tai-Tse River to' attack General Kuropatkin's forces in T the\rea£. ' The Jiji announces that the assault on Liao-Yang began 'Simultaneously on all sides. The town was occupied after continuous and severe Sghting since thgnrevious 'morning.. The, whole Japanese army began pursuing the Russians. There is a universal belief that Gen- eral Ivuropatkin suffered 'an over- whelming defeat in giving the Japan- ese possession of Liao-Yang. The Government will not confirm this. It has issued noShing later' than the report of the successful rush at daWn whereto' the .Japanese left pierced the r*£$Ue&OKt^|^. _ ___._, -«t TSapfYang and west ot Shou- born defence. They were, however, each time recaptured by the Russians at the point of the bayonet. • The Japanese left a' number of dead. After each bayonet engagement; -the Russians dug pits in front of their .po- sitions. These in some v cases wore completely filled with Japanese corpses. The Japanese Josses,,.must have been enormous. • The dispatch adds: - - . . ~ \The night passed' quietly, v Up to 6 o'clock in the morning theVe had been no movement on either side.\ General ' Sta'ckelberg 'was. slightly wounded, but remained ?n tiie fighting line. • • The news of tiie evacuation of Liao- Yang and the withdrawal; of the t Rus- sian army to the right bank of /the Tai- Tse Eiver reached only a'-small section of the people of St.,Petersburg- at; a iate hour and caused intense excite- ment and disappointment. The majority of the inhabitants re tired to rest, believing thai: itussijin arms had again been successful, and that the Japanese attacks had been repelled.

Berlin, Germany.'— Princess Louise of Coburg, whose relations with Kegle- vich Mattasitch, the former lieutenant in the Austrian army, caused a great scandal in JOuropeaii royal circles seven years ago, and who since had been kept under the closest restraint has .vanished from Bad Bister, where she has been, taking the cure.' It is presumed that the Princess is in the company of Mattasitch, and is seeking to gain an asylum where she will be safe from recapture. The escape of the Princess was ac- complished in a mysterious and roman- tic manner, ladders and.a swift auto- mobile being brought into play to effect her release from the hotel where she had been,immured almost as a prison- er and to convey her to some refuge, the location'of which is as yet a mys- tery. , Nojt.the slightest traces Of the where- abouts of the pair was discovered and nothing was known beyond the fact that the Princess and another guest of hotel, believed to have been Matta- sitch, have disappeared and with them the jewels of the Princess and an auto- mobile. On account of the long lapse of time since the original scandal the watch on the Princess had become slightly re- laxed; but it was made more stringent than,ever when.it was noticed that ef- forts to cqinmun'icate with the*Princess personally and through the medium of notes were being made. Nevertheless, arrangements for the flight were successfully completed, and the room of the Princess was found empty, Various surmises as to her destination were afloat, and it is said that orders have been given to watch the borders of Pavaria, Austria, France and Switzerland. OYAMA CROSSES THE TAI-TSE shan;'compelling the enemy to'With draw from the right and centre-' posi tions with the victors in pursuit. It is known that the sucrose: to \which several days' fighting led has been gained at an enormous sacrifice of' life, hut the various guesses as to the number of casualties -are worth- less. Field Marshal Oyama, the Japanese commander-in-chief, telegraphs that lie lost heavily in assaulting Liao- Yang, but gives no figures. General Kuroki admits that his losses we.re 22213 between. August 24 and August 28. T?he otsser cofnmanders have qiade no report of 'their' losses. An intimate of 25,000 casualties on both aides is uot regarded as excessive. ST. PETERSBURG ANXIOUS. St. Petersburg, Russia.—General Sak- liaroff, in- a dispatch to the Czar, re- ports that a portion of Kuroki's army,. which has occupied the extreme right of the Japanese line on the south bank of the Tai-Tse River, crossed the riv- •>r a t Sakan Kankwantum, where there is a loop. A division of infantry, with -ca.vairy and artillery, crossed first and covered the' 'advance of the rest of Kuroki's troops. ! After fording the river, the Japan- ese advanced on Liao-Yang in two bod- ies, the first marching -west -and the •other proceeding by way of the Yoa- tai mines. Hopefulness has given place to anx- iety. The General Staff .-iruioimces that General Kuropatkin has aban- doned Liao-Yang and withdrawn his .forces to the north bank of the Tai-Tse Eiver, but it encourages ironndGUce in his ability to-hold the railway, for the defence of whie'h elaborate forti- fications of great strength were eon- -structed.- Nevertheless, these non-of- ficiais who have an intelligent interest in. the war, hie gyavely apprehensive\ that the Japanese are across the rail- way line and that Liao-Y«n£ is sur- rounded. - ' < '< The,.briefness ot General S-ikhatofTs. •mention of the crossing of the Tai-Tse Eiver is regarded as of unpleasant sig- nificance in view of the obvious im- portance of such a movement. The report that-the Russians cap- tured forty-six guns from the- Japanese in the previous fighting has nofc'been confirmed officially. The Russian losses in the^figbting duping the day of retreat are now stated: t»-have been 5000. It is reported that GeiH>nt-1 Linie- vitcli, the commander of, the Vladivo- stok; district, is now within two 'days inarch of Mukden with 30,000 men. In.the last four hours of tin- day tile Japanese'fired an Immense 1 number of projectiles, and th& ^R.uej-sian positions •were searched by the Jdpani'xe shrap- nel. Tho Russians maintained a stub- born, defence the whole day. They •were exposed to a hail ot shrapnel, but •defended the positions intrusted to them with desperate bravery. After -preparing for the assault with artillery the Japanese repeatedly at- tacked the Russian positions. Boose of the advanced fortifications passed Into 'the Japanese hands after a' stub? The first elope.ment of the Princess ,s sence of press tPl¥grams\from~Liao- rj0uise ae Saxe-Coburg-Gotha with i-^i=SS«M!My-^fs<5*SrTr~^ lieutenant in the ^-f-T^gT^eWfnfTo tire .belief that The .A n .h, lm ,„ mI „«,„«„^ „ *o„a„«™ ?„ communications had been cut by;. Gen- eral Kuroki. The following statement was ob- tained by The Associated Press from the\(WrnTwn^-f'Q War Otrice at 10 o'clock at,!ncc night.i\\-„ Austrian- army, caused a sensation in European court circles. She is the eld- est daughter of King Leopold, who. since her elopement, has sought to show that she was insane. VZ? ; l S The Princess was sent to a secret ^ZfL^> LW,£°££r™ ! sanitarium. She was really a prison- force to the right bank of the Tai-Tse i River, and it therefore became'neces- I sary for the Russians to' be in a posi- tion to repel a blow in this direption. •• \In view of. this devejoprnprft ? ln the operations, General Kuropatkin decid- ed to abandon his positions on the left bank and,, to concentrate his whole army on the other side of the river. This position, is the strongest, both in character and site. \By withdrawing to this position the Russian army avoids the danger of being divided by the river, and enjoys the advantage of compactness.' \General Kuropatkin's move, there- fore, is not to be considered as a re- treat, but- rather as the carrying out of a well-defined idea.\ The determined pursuit by the Jap- anese of the Russian outposts when General Kuropatkin gave the 'first *>r- der to withdraw was probably due to their anxiety to keep the Russians South of Liao-Yang until General Ku- roki should be able to strike from the northeast. General Kuropatkin, how- ever, saw the trap and' cleverly avoid- ed it. A correspondent of The As-sodded Press at Vladivostok telegraphed that the Japanese are relying on the aid of a gunboat flotilla for future operations against Liao-Yang and Mukden. The gunboats, the correspondent says, have hot yet materialized, but in any case they would be in no position t o render aid to a force on the right bank in time of need because they would be unable to run the gauntlet of the forts at Liao-Yang. The strongest forts are situated on the right bank, where the Russian array is now concentrated. BATLE HAS BEATEN RECORDS. The -fighting at Liao-Yang has beaten all-reeords-i'or the-desperate valorvof the assailants and the stubbornness-ojC the defenders. The-whole history'of warfare tells of no such bombard- ment's, no .such carnage, and no -such persistency. Day after day the light lias -been resumed (it daybreak and kept up with scarce a mom eat's Inter- mission until .after j-niebtfaH. War-scarred veterans scarcely believe the stories, which come from, the seat ol war, aad declare \that Ji? is beyond human en'duranee for an army ko flghti without respite for a whole week, each' day of -which has exceeded its predo-' .-cesser in the intensity of struggle and greatness of slaughter. Day after d/iy the thousands of dead bestrewing the battle field have to be removed. The Japanese, ha ve invented new 1 'methods to Incinerate the heaps of dead, com-, rades taking charge ot the ashes Hoi the honors of burial In Japan. The •wounded -pre-spul a most serious prob-i lcm, 'as they tax the transport capacity, on either side to the uttermost. - er. There King Leopold kept her in close confinement, permitting no one to see her and forcing -her to live iu com- parative want. Mattasitch has made several at- tempts to rescue the Princess. Last April he made the attempt ia an auto- mobile, but failed. A month later he believed he had her guards bribed. But he overlooked one, who exposed the conspiracy. At the death ef the Queen of Bel- gium, her mother, King Leopold openly snubbed the Princess, refusing to per- mit her to attend the funeral services. Winsted, Conn.—Mrs. Anna Spencer, wife of the Rev, ft. A. Spencer, of Greenwich, and daughter of Dr. An- drew Hartwell, of judd's Bridge, who was recently sandbagged and robbed of $5000 after*lie haft' drawn the money from bank to buy boon's bonds, wag held up by a man on a lonely road in the outskirts of New Milfo. \ The highwayman fired several shots at Mrs. Spencer, .but she had been on her guard since the receipt of a lot of threatening letters by the members of her family, and fired at her assailant; probably wounding him. Mrs. Spencer drove alone from the, Hartwell home to,New Milford in the morning and deposited a sum of. money in the bank there. While driv- ing home a man who resembled a tramp in dress emerged from a thicket and grabbed her horse by the bit. The animal reared, whereupon the man shot twice at Mrs. Spencer. Neither shot took effect. <. The highwayman then went back to the wagon and seized Mrs. Speiicer by the wrist; evidently with the intention of robbing her of whatever valuables she might have. The woman pulled a twenty-two calibre revolver from her pocket and shot the highwayman. She believes the shot took effect in his left breast- The man immediately returned the fire, the bullet grazing Mrs. Spen- cer's left shoulder and burning a small hole in her dress. He then ran into the woods. Mrs. Spencer drove back to her' father's home, secured a rifle, and re- turned to New Milford and notified the authorities of the crime. The highway- man got about three hours' start. A posse heavily armed, headed by the Rev. Mr. Spencer and including every officer and constable in New Milford, went out in quest of Mrs. Spencer's assailant. Most of those who participated in the hunt returned to New Milford at night empty handed. A supposed trail of blood was found leading from the road to the woods. That the' attack on Mrs. Spencer was premeditated develops from the story told to the authorities by Miss .Galvin, daughter of Edwin Galvin, -who says she was stopped on the same road that morning by a man answering the de- scription of Mrs. Spencer's assailant who asked, \Are you Mrs. Spencer?\ Miss 1 Galvin answered that she was not,- and the man let her drive on. The Rev. Galen C. Spencer, when asked about his wife's bravery, said: \1 -am not surprised to hea'r that she hit the highwayman, but 1 wish she had had a larger revolver with her. She is an expert shot with a rifle, and when she was in charge of a lonely school some years ago I taught her how to shoot with a revolver. I got her a large one, but she could not handle it well, so I got Ijer a small pearl-handled one instead. I admire my wife's pluck, of cpiirse. She is not the kind to faint when anything happens.\ Regulars and Militia in ' Camfl UndKT lajor-Geaeral Corbin. IHveniy-flve Thousand Troops Goinp i Throuprh Maneiivres on Former i SJatrle Grounds. WED WITH BULLET IN HEAD. Put There When'Danbury Man Wor- ried l'\er First Wife's Illness. Danbury, Conn.—Less than a year ago Alexander Friedman, of this city, hovered for many days between life and death as a result of an attempt to commit suicide by sheeting himself in the temple with a revolvr. The cause of the act was melancholia over the se- rious illness of his wife, then a patient in a Hartford hospital. A few Lours after the news of her husband's attempt at self destruction reached her, Mrs. Friedman died. The pistol bullet th;.t entered Friedman's head at that time is still there. The other day he arrived home, bringing with him a bride whom he had just married in New York City. Mr. and Mrs. Friondman have been on a short wedding trip, and are now at home at 82 Garfield avenue, iu this city. B(is Ariuy Harasses Kurojmtkln's Kent' . Guard—Czar's' ThoaHands of Wounded Clog the.JRoad of Ketreof. and Hauipor ManeuyrinK — Harbin Appears to Be the X.ast Base of Supplies.. > New York City. — Developments of Japanese strategy hnre put the on lire Russian Army under General Kuropat- kin in peril of annihilation or capture, and have caused the Russians to begin preparations for the evacuation of Mukden. • ' < Kuropatkin, retreating from I.iau- Yang, has faced a succession of sur- prises. His plan to crush -General Ku- roki before the other Japanese armies could cross the Tai-Tse failed because a Japanese column of which ho had no information was discovered further north than he thought Kuroki had pen- , etrated. ' • Hastening north to prevent this col- umn from cutting the railroad, Kuro- patkin has discovered that still another column from the eastward is pushing directly on Mukden. He has sent a force of cavalry to oppose it. Such threatening .developments have been found at Sing-min-Tung. west of Muk- den, that he has bc-en compelled to send a division in that direction. . His retreat, meanwhile, has per- mitted Marshal Oyama, with Nodzu's and Oku's armies *to swarm across the Tai-Tse and harass him in the rear and on the right flank. With Mukden abandoned, a retreat to Harbin, 4'JO miles northward, will be necessary. \• In this desperate race Kuropatkin is hampered by the transport of his wounded, who are clogging the railway cars. Mukden!—Preparations for the evac- uation of Mukden are proceeding. St. Petersburg.—It is impossible at this hour to obtain any statement from the authorities regarding the reported preparations for the abandonment of . Mukden. ' This is the first intimation that such a course is contemplated^ If it turns out to be true it means tlw abandon- ment of the whole of Southern Man- churia and the winding up ofwe pres- ent campaign. ^^ In fact, should Mukden, lie ew ated there w-ould be no paint shw;S'Vt Harbin for wintering the army of a quarter of a million with its-many wounded. On the other hand, the evacuation of Mukden would jive Field Marshal Oyama commodious winter quarters and the practical control of two lines of railway. The Kinchou-Simmintin line, tapping rich Chinese territory, stops little short of Mukden, with which it is connected by a good wagon road. The report of the prospective evacua- tion of Mukden, if well founded, would indicate that the crippling effect of the Liau-Yang fight on Kuropatkin's army is more serious than has as yet been in- timated. Connecticut's Tobacco Crop. The Connecticut tobacco crop is now being harvested, and, according to re- ports received in Hartford the yield is phenomenally large and the quality the best in twelve years. The leaves are large, so large, in fact, that whereas in former years six- plants have been strung on laths, it is hard this season to get on five. The total acreage of tobacco in towns .incut Hartford is ap- proximately SO00, and \the aggregate value of their crop is $2,750,000.

New York City.--In • the 'vicinity of aianassas, Vs., 5000 regular and 21,000 State troops, are encamped, forming the. largest military camp ever estab- lished in-this country lu time of peace. But it is not intended that this largo body of men' shall.be merely a dis- play. The encampment and maneuvres are arranged by the Government to provide the. hardest and, most -necessary kind of work known in the education of the soldier—the getting out into the field and there putting into practice the theories of the classrodm under the simulated conditions of actual war. Fortwoweeks the -regular troops 1vi.ll have,the opportunity of acting together iu bodies \larger 'than tiie companies an'd battalions, of the?- army posts; the officers will be • given i an opportunity to -handle the larger bodies., Captain' James A. Moss, U. S.\ A., in Collier's Weekly, in commenting oh these maneuvres, says that we ha\ve had many hard lessons to learn that an arrhy on paper, and t a n army in the field 'are ,two' separate' things. Even far 'more tbafr any other profession that'of the military isione which can- not be taught in theory,, and. it was for that that the General Staff ar- ranged the scheme of annual man- euvres; to teach men by experience how,to take care of themselves in the field, and to teach officers how to handle 'and care for large bodies -ot men \on large and'-diversified areas, not by telling them about it in lectures and with \books but by giving them the men to handle ; t nd to take care of, tlius\ acquainting them with, the possibilities and difficulties of actual war. Aside from the line officers., to whom the experience will he of inesti- mable value in this way, each staff corps — the quartermaster's, which moves and clothes the army; the com- missary, which feeds it, and the other staff departments—will have the op- portunity to iea-rn by experience the labor attending the .care, transporta- tion, and supply 'of' large bodies of 'troops II ITALIANS Tenement Inspector's Plan ; *Savei Buried Workmen;\ ' * ^ UNDER'FIFTEEN FEET OF EARTH After ffallfog'tuto Tit and Beins- Ct»T«r®« With Sand !tw» BisgoM Are BiasHj|j < Eoaoiisd Tliroujjh • tho J5fl?ortf» o* MMow Woi-Iimon—AmlHiiaiiccft .,*tf<wor .
