Llao Yang. July 2.—The recent success-
es of the Russians at Dalien and in
Major Mistchenkos engagements with
the Japanese have engendered a much
better feeling here. It is reported that
in the flglitlnfl of June 26 and 27, the
Japanese lost s.000 men and that their
losses in the operations against Mlstehen-
ko
1,500.
A striking feature of the engagement
fit Dalien ; s well as the tight with Gen-
eral Mtatchenko'8 force, was that the
Japanese tried a bayonet charge, to
which they had not previously been par-
ti al. Their lines went to the charge
vith loud cries of "Al Yar" hut almost
t. a man were mowed down by the
ltusMlan rifle fire. 'Joe o* the Japanese
unese are running out and that the
Iroops are badly fed. For two days prior
o his capture, tho prisoner said, the
Japanese had eaten nothing, and this
statement Is confirmed by Chinese. The
Japanese commissary is entirely supplied
from Japan and consequently is depend-
ent upon sea communication, and the
effect of the loss of many boats in the
recent storm 1^ l ginning to be severely
Cf It.
The close of active operation in such
circumstances have greatly restored con-
fidence. Russian fours today rose half
a point above 92. the highest price for
many weeks. The real cause of this
change is that the outlook gives rise to
considerable speculation. Some specula-
tors are inclined to attribute the Japan-
ese retreat to the arrival of heavy re-
inforcements and supplies. Including 35,-
tN'i tents, for the army corps at Llao
Yang. Others believe that Field Marshal
uvama the newly appointed commander-
in-chief of the Japanese forces in Man-
rhuria, has decided not to venture fur-
there until the rains are over. Others,
Igain, see a connection between the Jap-
anese retreat and the. appearance of a
Russian squadron threatening the Jap-
anese llms of eommunlction. The Llao
Yang correspondent of the bourse Oa-
r-tte declares that the entire credit for
the Japanese retreat belongs to General
Kuropatkln, who at last has rewarded
the patience of the Russian people. I'n
less quite an unforeseen change in the
situation occurs the remainder r f the
campaign, it Is believed here, will be
distinctly favorable to the Russians, ow-
ing in the failure of the Japanese to
establish a base at Inkow, where they
could have enjoyed unrivalled facilities
(or harassing General Kuropatkln.

RECALLS SENSATIONAL INCIDENT.
Washington, July 2.—Reaching through
a period of several years during which
the. popular agitation In this country for
Intermediary action In behalf of the Cu-
bans was more or less acute. Minister
De Lome's career in the United States
was marked by one of the most sensa-
tional incidents In the history of Ameri-
can diplomacy. This was the famous
De I<ome letter episode of February lMt,s.
in the heat of the Cuban excitement and
barely two months before the outbreak
of the Spanish war. The letter was a
personal one to Senor Don Jose Canal-
ejas. Containing very deprecatory utter-
ances about President McKinley. Canal-
ejas was a prominent editor and old
friend of the minister, De Lome in this
letter which was Intercepted by the Cu-
ban Junta and published "broadcast
throughout the country said:
'Beside the natural and Inevitable
coarseness with which he repeats all that*
the press antl public opinion of Spain has
said of Weyler it shows once more what
McKIaley is -.weak and catering to the
rabble and besides, a low politician, who
desires to leave u floor open to me and
to stand well witrf the Jingoes of his
party."
This letter was published In a fac-
simile of the original and Secretary of
Day confronted the diplomat "with
the letter. De Lomn admitted its au-
hentlclty. 1>«: Lome executed a very
lever diplomatic coup by cabling id's
resignation to Madrid instantly so as to
precede this government's demand for his
recall. The Madrid cabinet complied

St. Ixiuls. July 2.—All the men who
will decide tho presidential contest
have not. yet appeared in the conven-
tion city, but among those who are
here there seem# to be a conviction
that Judge Alton B. Parker -will he
nominated early in the balloting. His
un.st radical supporters claim that ho
will be named on the first ballot, while
others say that favorite sons must be
first complimented before the neces-
sary two- thirds will vote for him.
Claims that aro not disputed in any
authoritative quarter are made that
Parker will have a good majority on
the first ballot atful from states which
will compel speedy recognition In the
convention.
A LITTLE HEARST STIR.
The arrival of the California and
other delegations from the west which
are under instructions to vote for
Hearst stirred the atmosphere early
in the day, and there was some specu-
lation as to what strength Hearst ac-
tually had in the convention. The
claim of Hearst managers of more
than one-third of the delegates and
with power enough to prevent the se-
lection of any candidate not satisfac-
tory to Hearst is.not seriously consid-
ered by friends of Parker. The
Hearst men have decided to have testa
of strength before the platform is
voted upon and will force a vote by
putting forward a candidate for per-
manent chairman.
During the day there has been tallc
of Cleveland, Gorman, Olney and Har-
mon. It seems to he understood that
Ohio intends to cast a complimentary
vote for Harmon, and that Parker will
hen get. the delogation, with a proviso
hat Gorman appearing as an active
candidate would materially change tho
conditions. The only real active antl
positive Gorman force at St. Jx>ula
now Is Henry G. Davis, former senator
from West Virginia, and he is not
sure that Gorman will be a candidate.
It is not even known whether Gorman
will attend the convention. Something
was expected to develop about Gor-
man's position on the arrival of James
Guffey, but the Pennsylvania lead-
er did not say anything that Indicated
that the Maryland senator would be ;i
factor in*the presidential race.
SOM B OLNEY TALK.
Now and then tfhore is a mention of
former Secretary Olney and connected
with it is the suggestion that Olney
is the only man intimately connected
with the last democratic administra-
tion, or who Is being put forward by
the conservative element who Is not
objectionable to Mr. llryan. So far
> one has appeared as Bryan's repre-
ntative to confirm or deny this re-
port. hut it is said that in case oE
the balloting being prolonged Olney
would receive the first occesslons from
Ue Bryan men who prefer the Massa-
; chusetts man to Parker.
it 1s apparent that quite a number of
delegates are smarting under instruc-
tions for favorite sons. They feel
that,they are thus debarred from tak-
ing part in the making of a presi-
dential candidate unless there should
be a prolonged struggle.
There was an increase^ activity to-
night caused by the arrival of promi-
nent "New Yorkers, headed by former
Senators Hill and Murphy.
SHEEHAN OR HILL, WHICH?
Quite an effort has been made to < re«
ate the impression that Wpi. F. Shee.
han and not Hill is the real represent'
atlve of Parker. This Is for the pur-
pose of meeting the frequent charge
that Parker is "Hill's man." But the
arrival of Mr. Hill and the many calls
made upon him Indicate that he is at.
least the political head of the Park-
er movement.
While the presidential situation Is
the most Interesting feature of tho
ante-convention days, the platform Is
a subject of debate and serious con-
sideration. Many suggestions have al-
ready been made, but no one can say
which will meet with the most favor.
