During a fusillade with a line of Japanese sharpshooters one Cossack was killed. At Loan Myako, (fight miles north of Takuslian on the same bank of the river, our scouts were fired on on the right bank. The enemy's force was composed of 200 Korean soldiers and 200 Japanese wearing Korean uniforms After a well sustained fire the enemy withdrew to UJan. The Russian casual! tics were one soldier silled and four wounded and several horses killed. On May 2 eight Cossacks reconnol-terin- g betwen Sin Sin Ting, 40 miles east of Mukden, and Taian Tchan. 30 miles southeast of Sin Sin Ting, were attacked at Tchan Siflgon by a band of well armed robbers, apparently Chinese lian.lits.

Jury Convene ern to Black Mountain Elucidate This Question, in Cav- Bristol, Vs., May 10. The shrunkeu and decayed body of Edward L. Wents was literally taken to pieces this afternoon by physicians and detectives in the course of tho coroners inquest which was begun at 4 o'clock in the dark cavern of Black Mountain and was closed without a verdict by tbe coming of night. At 7:30 the Jury adjourned until 9;30 o'clock to ator row morning. A 32 calibre pistol ball was found in the body, which might have been discharged from the empty pistol of tbe same calibre found 18 feet away from the remains. The ball bad passed through the fifth rib, entering in front and had penetrated the heart. Several holes weih found in the ckitblng where other bullets hail entered, but beneath them the body was Intact. Many articles in his pockets were found intact. At the conclusion of today's inquest it was decided that nothing further could be gained by holding the body here longer, consequently the special train whlrh brought the brothers of the dead man. physicians and detectives to the scene this afternoon, will leave Wednesday morning. It was staled today by persons close to the Wents family, that the question of reward would lie settled as to the amount and time of payment after tbe verdict la rendered. There is a great difference of opinion ag to the cause of Wentz's death, whether accidental, suicide or murder. Tonight many believe it was suicide. ST.

According to the St. Fi'icrslniru cnrrcuind-cn- i nf Hie Matin, a liiitli nffUvr of the natal ip'iicnil Mall declares that the cut ranee to Fort Arthur is still tree and that the squadron went out on May 9th as tar as Iitxwo where a torpedo loat sank a number of Japanese transports. g ha reached London of the refuted battle near Liao Yang. One of !., explanations of the reatorallon of lr yurt Arthur railroad suggested here - that the landing the Japanese at friwo was interrupted by a gale which iiKtaitelled the temporary retirement to are althe coast or that the Japanese exia the line to remain open for the e from Port portal E Arthur prior to a bombardment. Anonling to telegrams from Shangh- n the Thus May 11. London, cauM ihe latter debarked If a third army bad landed at Takuahan It could have moved to Feng Wang Ch.eng and flanked the Russians in case General Kurokl had encountered strung opposition. The suggestion of another Japanese debarkation Ja generally discredited. The force acting independently is believed to be attached to General Kuro-klarmy. Whether or not an army was lauding, the fact was impressed upon the Associated Preas by a member of the general staff that the Japanese are placing Southern Manchuria absolutely under control liefure beforward movement, ihus ginning, guaranteeing against threatened Cos. sack raids. Whether General Kurokl Intends to move on Liao Yang and Hal Cheng has not yet developed, though action in the inner place dues not now appear so probable, in view of the dispatch of a force to Kunaginsin. Tbe marching on Hal Chong la not so important as It would have been had the Russians continued to occupy Newchwang. General Kurokl. In the view of an authority here.undoubledly la Informed of the preparations for the evacuation of Newchwang and knows that the Russian force la operating on the Liao Cheng. In the light of these considerations he may determine to boldly march to Liao Yang, either by the northern road or on tbe road by which the Russians retreated and along which he baa sent scouting parties. The reports of severe engagements, which are not officially confirmed, probably grew out of skirmishes along the Yalu river - before Lieutenant Zassslitch's retirement. Information which was received by tbe Emperor today set at rest all rumors affecting tbe Vladivostok squadron. The Associated Press was authoritatively informed today that tnere Is uo intention on the part of tbe Skrydloff to order an attempt to effect a Junction with the Port Arthur fleet. The squadron will use Vladivostok as a base for raids, but will lie preserved intact until the Baltic fleet arrives in the Pacific, when it will proceed to sea and report to Admiral Rojestvenak at a certain determined point. The Associated Press Is further Informed that the garrison at Port Arthur is stronger than heretofore baa been staled. There is no reason to keep the strength of the garrison at Port Arthur a secret, said the Informant of the Associated Press. The Japanese know it because of their perfect Information. We have and 10,000 sailors 20,000 soldiers there. The latter will not be used on the fortifications except as last extremity. The Japanese will not obtain possession of our fleet even if they capture Port Arthur. The orders to the commander there are that he shall when after its fall is inevitable, put to sea and engage the enemy. We do not propose for the Japanese to find In the harbor a number of valuable warships which they can seize and add to their fleet. Moreover, in battle, the Japanese will suffer as well as ourshlves. and those of ihe latter which do not escape will go down to the bottom. May 6.
