RUSSIANS DEFEATED. JAPANESE ARMY ADVANCING, THE SITUATION. The relative of the Russian and Jr.pr.n03? loops in the Üaotung Peninsula and in Southern lallchuria have not changed appreciably, though it IS clear that General Kuroki has made movements Which portend an early advance of his whole line. The re-occupation cf Sainiatse and Siu-yun be taken as an indication of this intention. General Kuropatkin's policy is not revealed in any of the telegrams from the front. That lie has received "cry large reinforcements during the last few Weeks there is no doubt, and if the various accounts be true his available army should be larger than that of the Japanese. The Russians Jiave, too, the advantage of acting on interior lines The presence of a Russian force near For; Adams lias been known for some time, and it has at last "been caught in a trap by the Japanese Exactly the strength of this force and its intentions not known, but Us instructions are probably to harry the rear of the army besieging Port Arthur.

ANOTHER RUSSIAN DISASTER. OVER 800 CASUALTIES. The Daily "llail correspondent atXiuchwang sends particulars of another Russian defeat: On the afternoon of June 11th there was a sharp encounter between Russian and Japanese forces to the south- cast of the Siungyo range. The Japanese appeared in the morning in considerable force before the entrenched Russian position, made a feint, and then retreated. The ruse was successful, and 5,000 troops pursued the Japanese to the Yaotung Pass, ere the Japanese re-formed, and, assisted by rein- cements that had remained hidden, attacked the jursuingiorce, which, after a loss of 8CO killed and wounded, retreated in disorder. some of the defeated Russians arrived I l IUchwang with 235 transport carts. They deenp«i *ar.os <?f terrible fatigue, and exhibited the faces ion.

The special correspondent of the Standard at St. etersburg says that a telegram has been received "om Admiral Skrydloff, stating that on Tuesday last he moved with the Vladivostok: Squadrou owards Port Arthur, and arrived within thirty nllles of that place. There he ran into a fog, and und several Japanese torpedo-boats and two battle- ips confronting him. The Japanese attacked him rcely and inflicted some damage. The Russians returned the fire, but as none of the Port Arthur fimps appeared, as Admiral Skrydloff had hoped and Expected, they returned to Vladivostock,which they reached at eight o'clock on Friday morning. JAPANESE ADVANCE BEGUN. The general advance of the Japahese First Army ■under General Kuroki, which has been resting at Feng-whang-cheng since its victory at the Yalu, appears now to ha.ve begun, and General Kuropatkin is said to be falling back before it on Liao-yang. Sainiatse to the north-east and Siu-yen on the south-east of the position have been occupied, and the Japanese front extends about eighty miles. Siu-yen is of great strategic importance. It is about forty miles from Kaiping and forty-five miles trom Haicheng, and absolutely controls the roads to those places. Sainiatse controls the road :to Liao-yang ani Mukden. By this road the Mo-tien-ling Mountains, ^hich are strongly fortified, and which constitute ■fcn almost impregnable Russian stronghold, will 08 oided by the Japanese on their advance north. ———— RUSSIANS TRYING TO ESCAPE. The Japanese at Shanghai report that the Russians are steadily trying to escape from Port Arthur oversea, owing to the paucity of provisions. The Japanese Fleet is fully occupied on various duties round the Liaotung Peninsula, including the destruction of mines, but there have been no casualties since the affair of the Koshino. It is reported that 3.000 Russians, with twenty -«<uns, have evacuated Yin-kow. THE BATTLE OF NAN-SHAN. The Russian losses in the battle of Nan-shan have now been ascertained at least approximately. totl* Japanese War Office that ine gendarmes bunerl « men round Nan-shan, boMde?Utf"P a"Cl 66, near their camps.

An interesting account of the condition of Port -Arthur is supplied by the special correspondent of the Standard at Chifu. It is from the testimony of a Mechanic who has been engaged in the Govern- ment docks at the Russian pori. He says that the 0 cs» the workshops, and the town itself have practically sustained no damage from the repeated ombardTtcnts. All the Russian men-of-war have nished their repairs, with the exception of the visan, the Czarevitch, and another vessel, tha name of which my informant did not know. These three are lying in the inner basin. The docks are not as present able to accommodate them, but ar9 oeing enlarged. The work, however, would take six months to complete. Several torpedo-boats are aiso undergoing repair., in the docks. Besides a. considerable number of torpedo-boats, the Russians beeu deep, 6urm'ountedUby h"avl entr.eachm™ts 15ft. The outlying districtsarIy^wV £ ima"y P,1:lce*- the Chinese wpn> nnt f ">• 11 thickly mined. As £ y f. famihar with the making of entrenchments, the whole of the work has had to b» done by the Russians themselves. A large number of Chinese are still left in Port Arthur. The Russian officials issued orders, on Monday, that all who wished to leave were free to do so'during the following three days, but that afterwards no departures would be permitted. The Chinese workmen in the docks are receiving 50 per cent. extra pay, and are allowed three pounds of rice daily. For the first two months of the war the ration was free, nut latterly they have had to pay for it. Food supplies are stated to be plentiful, but the coal supply is running short. All the junks conveying the Chinese refugees were searched by the Japanese off Wan-ching-tao and the Miau-tao group, where the torpedo-boats Were cruising. They were supplied with provisions in all cases where the stores were insufficient, and were allowed to proceed. RUSSIAN GENERAL WOUNDED. A telegram from St. Petersburg says that the Czar received news that a battle began at noon on .1\1t¡e 14th round a Russian position six kilometres *° the south of the station of Wafanhoon ( ? Wa- tang-kau), the enemy making repeated vigorous attempts to dislodge the Russian left llank. The attack was repelled, and the Russians claim to •have retained their position. The 1st Regiment, occupying the left flank of the Position, sustained severe losses. Its commander, Colonel Khvastunoff, and the adjutant, Sub-Lieu- tenant DragosIafINadochinsky. were killed. General ^erngross, b who commands the 1st. East Siberian brigade, was wounded, a shrapnel bullet shattering the right side of his lower jaw, but he remained on the Held. Talienwan Bay is not yet entirely clear of mines, and the work of removing them is proceeding tinder Admiral Katoara, who has a special fleet ot IIInall vessels for the purpose.

GHASTLY TRAGEDY IN SPAIN, In the south of Spain a teamster was known to remain irequentlv at an isolated wayside inn between Sevilla and Cordoba. Ilia long mule team stopped one night at about twelve o'clock at the inn as had been their custom, says a Madrid corre- spondent. The proprietor came'out, and thinking that the teamster was lagging on the road behind, ordered the cart and the beasts into the stables. Hours passed and the teamster did not appear. At last it was suggested that the apparently lost indi- vidual might have fallen asleep—either" drunk or tin d inside the cart, and a search was accordingly made. Three headless bodies, dripping in blood, and three severed heads were discovered. One of ihs .leads and bodies was that of the teamster, the otners belonged to two women.

L MURDERER TRACED BY A DOG. By means of a bloodhound the police of Bruns- wick have succeeded in discovering the murderer of a girl of eleven named Bebcnroth. The dog was taken to the room in a farmhouse where the crime was committed, and all the farm servants were sent for, when the animal at once attacked a labourer named Durve. As the man protested his innocence lie was made to change his clothes, but the blood- hound again picked him out without hesitation, and he confessed his guilt.

A SISTER'S SACRIFICE. Margaret Atkinson, the thirteen-vear-old (laughter of a Portadown man, sacrificed her life on Saturday night in an unavailing attempt to save her brother, aged twelve. Tiie two children had gone out for a walk, and had occasion to cross the Great Northern of Ireland Railway near Portadown. When half- way across the line the little girl saw the Dublin to Belfast mail approach. She ran forward to pull her brother into a place of safety, but she was too late, and both were killed.

TINPLATE DISPUTE SETTLED.

RAID ON SUNDAY GAMBLERS. A sensational raid on a school of gamblers was made at Crosland Hill, near Huddersfield, on Sun- day morning. In an old quarry at the place named gamblers have met Sunday after Sunday, and "scouts" were posted in several elevated positions. Plans for the operations had bl'en carefully laid by the Iiuddersfield borough police, in conjunction with the county police, and the raid was made with th? utmost precision. A large posse of officers in plain clothes were stationed at various points surrounding the gambling resort, and a couple of officers, disguised as "pigeon-flvers"— carrying baskets and throwing up birds close to the law- breakers—gave the signal at the appointed time, between eleven nnd twelve o'clock. A great rush then ensued in all directions, there being at least fifty or sixty of the fraternity present. Walls, Judges, and ditehes v.ere cleared with the utmost celerity, but. several of the olVenders were captured by the oflicers lying in ambush. Hundreds of people left their domestic duties to witness the stampede, and the usual quietude of the Sabbath was rudely disturbed. A temporary police station had been arranged at Milnsbridge, and thither the captives were taken and placed in charge of other cfticers, whilst many others were recognised by the constables.

ROYAL BRITISH BANK CASE. The lloyal British Bank v. Jones case came up again on Satur.lay, in Mr. Justice Bigham's Court. On behalf of the defendant, Mr. A. F. Wootton moved for judgment on the counter-claim, the plaintiffs having failed to put in a reply. Counsel said the action was brought by the Koyal British liank, which was run by Mr. Cochrane and another person who called himself Lord De Morley, against; ilif- defendant to recover certain calls on shares. The defendant counter-claimed to have the register rectified by the removal of his name therefrom, and for a declaration that he was not liable for any shares registered in his name. The plaintiffs failed to comply with an order to deliver a further and better affidavit of documents and give security for costs, and the action was dismissed. On the j counter-claim counsel said four certificates of j shares were handed to the defendant by a person named Ward on the representation that they were fovr £ 50 fully-paid shares in the bonk. It subse- quently turned out that instead of being the cer- tificates of four fully-paid £50 shares they were the certificates of shares in respect of which there was a liability of Y,49 each. The allegation was that Ward was the agent of the bank. Mr. Justice Bigham entered judgment for the defendant on his counter-claim, with costs.

DECAPITATED AND BURNT. At a Rendex farmhouse, near Courtrai, there was recently a fire, and a brother and sister, named Mergen, both old people, were apparently burnt to death. The Morning Advertistr Brussels correspond- ent states that as strange rumours concerning the fire began to circulate the authorities caused doctors to examine the bodies. The doctors, after their examination, stated that the couple had been decapitated before being burnt. An inquiry was -I instituted, suspicion having. fallen upon certain persons, whose arrest is imminent.

TAMPERING WITH SIGNALS. A boy, named Arthur White, has been sen- tenced at Birmingham to twenty-one days' Im- prisonment for interfering with signals on the Great Western Railway. On Sunday night WhIte and another boy got on the line, and were seen to pull the wires and lower a signal which was standing at "danger." The result was that an express from Warwick to Birmingham ran past, but fortunately the road in front was cleared in time, and no accident happened.

"RIPPER". CRIMES IN BERLIN. The horrors of the Whitechapel murders some years ago have been revived in Berlin by another "Jack the Ripper," whose gruesome crimes are shrouded in mystery. A" week ago, says a Berlin correspondent, the headless trunk of a young girl was found in the River Spree, near Cliarlottenburg. The limbs had been severed, and the way the knife had been used indicated some knowledge of anatomy. There was nothing to reveal the woman's identity, but, judging from the appearance of the remains, the doctors conjecture that the victim was about twenty years of age. A few days after- wards the arms and legs, partly burnt, were dis- covered on a mud heap, but the head was still missing. The public were very much excited over this ghastly crime, and the police exerted them- selves to the utmost to discover the perpetrator, lJut despite the oiler of a large reward no trace has been found. On Saturday another body mutilated in exactly the same fashion, and wrapped in some clothing, was taken out of the Spree in the heart of Berlin. This time the victim was a mere child. The whole police force were at once put on the alert, and the parents of a number of mis-in" girls were asked to try to identify the body. Franx Berliui, a cigar-maker, was among and nearly went ma i with grief when, by the clothing, he recognised it as his nine- I year-old daughter Lucie. The limbs and head of the poor girl were missing.

The man is going Oil as well as can ba expected, and is likelv to recover.
