Petersburg. St. Petersburg. June 14. No informa tion has reached the general staff re garding the reported ambushing of Russians at Pulantien, as the result of which they were alleged to have lost 800 men.

The only thing of the least significance in this connection is the short dispatch received from Majoi General Karkevitch. which was sent on June 12. the day the battle was alleged to have occurred. General Karkevitch does not mention the Pulantien fight, of which, the authorities presume, he would have heard had it occurred at the same time. His dispatch only covered events up to the preceding day.

The Japanese army in Manchuria is said to be exceedingly short of supplies, for which it is wholly dependent upon water transportation to the mouth of the Yalu and Takushan. The general staff has received the following dispatch from Major General Karkevitch, dated June 12: "There was no change, June 10 and 11, in the position of the troops in the neighborhood of Vafangow station. Liautong peninsula. Small outpost skirmishes occur daily. The attempts if the Japanese to drive back our posts south of Waufangtien have been cheeked by the forward movement of our Cossacks.

According to intelligence received, they are intrenching there." One division of the army reserves ot the St. Petersburg district has been called out.

A dispatch, from St. Petersburg today announces the calling out of the Russian reserves in the military districts of Kicff, Moscow and Kazan.

A Tokio correspondent says the foreign attaches are leaving the Japanese capital for Kwang Tung peninsula, which they hope to reach on Friday, as the decisive attack on Port Arthur by the Japanese will begin on that day. RUSSIANS QUIT YINKOW. Thrte Thousand Driven Out by Japanese Bombardment. Tokyo, June 11. Successful bombardment by Japanese vessels of extensive earthworks thrown up by the Russiuns between the neighborhood of Kuiping and Yinkow, the port of Newchwang, been reported olliclnlly to the admiralty by Admiral Togo.

The bombardment drove Russians from points along the line of temporary defenses toward the city of Yinkow and at last became so furious the Russians abandoned that port. It was directed at first toward the Kaiping end of the line, but na the Russians retreated' northward the Japanese line of attack was extended so that the czar's troops were pursued for mlh's along the route by the shells from the Japanese ships. A heavy return was made to tlw Japanese lire by the Russians, who had twenty guns, but the batteries of the enemy were Hileneed one by one, and in many instances the Russians retired so rapidly they hardly had time to take the cannon with them. The Japanese ipiadnm engaged In the bombardment was maneuvered rapidly, and the last of the stragglers was not in Yinkow When the Japanese began shelling that city. An attempt was made by the Russians to rally, and a brief reply to the bombardment was made from the port itself, but the Japanese fire Increased in severity, and a few hours after the Russians were In full retreat toward Koaklnm, which Is at a fork of the roads to Iloichen and Newchwang.

Land Movement Rumored. No details Of the Russian losses were forwarded by Adinh'ul Togo. The report of the result of the bombardment reached him through the captain of a foreign vessel from Yinkow. No fatalities occurred on the Japanese ships. It is rumored landing was made at or near the entrance to Yinkow port, and there are also rumors of a land movement by the Japanese from point between Kaiping and Yinkow in the direction of Newchwang and llaichen.

A forced march by Japanese soldiers along those routes could be made to result in an early junction with the mikado's forces moving toward Huichen from the went, besides cutting off the Russian force which has been referred to In St. Petersburg dispatches as the "Port Arthur relief expedition." It Is possible General Kuroki't advance is nearer to the peninsula railroad at a point between Kaiping and llaichen than has been divulged by the war office. The bombardment of the west coast of the I.iautong peninsula between Kaiping and Yinkow was begun by brief attack on Wednesday last, in which the Japanese ships shelled two companies of Russians engaged In con John H. Dando arose and nearly tore his shirt off in a spirited effort to arouse enthusiasm for Dr. Cobleigh.

In vain did he plead for the "young In vain did he ring in Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, McKinley and Roosevelt. His labored oratory was to be for naught. At the conclusion of his speech. D. A.

Fell seconded the nomination of Mr. Palmer in a few forceful words. Paul Sherwood mov ed that the roll be called of all dele gates except those whose seats were contested. After an abortive effort at adjournment by Cobleigh partisans the roll call was started. The hush of expectancy settled over the crowd as the secretary and his as sistants called the roll, taking turns so as tp save their voices and have every word distinctly heard.

Cobleigh started off in the lead. Then the vote was mixed, until only those who were keeping tally knew where things stood. When Pittston was reached the dele gates voted as follows: For Palmer: Wm. Abbott, C. W.

Smiles, J. A. Lewis, Wm. Golden, Sidney Parry; for Cobleigh: H. Knowles, F.

Davenport. G. Williams, M. E. Beynon, H.

Williams, J. M. Jones, E. C. Miller.

West Pittston delegates voted as follows: For Palmer: J. H. Blackman, Edgar Cooper, Lewis Jones, John Scrimgeour, W. B. Richards: for Cobleigh, Mike Dorsch, Wm.

Collicut, Dan Berlew, Ed Haulton. Only one man in the entire district proved traitor to Congressman Palmer. Only one of those pledged disregarded all obligations of honest manhood. Let his name he held up for just consideration. Ed Haulton.

of the Ninth district of West. Pittston, pledged to several prominent residents, including Lyman K. Drake and the editor of the Gazette that he would vote for Henry W. Palmer for congress. He also authorized the insertion of his name printed in the Gazette under the pledge to vote for Palmer and Mr.

Palmer's friends turned in and won him his election against the man put up by the Cobleigh men. When a man can thus publicly besmirch himself, and in a losing cause, he brands himself with obloquy and becomes a pariah. Besides being in honor bound Haulton's tickets read "with Instructions to vole for Henry W. Palmer for How can such a man look people in the face? Should a man's pledge be less inviolate in politics than elsewhere? Not unless politics are essentially evil and good government bad As the vote progressed Palmer took the lead. Suddenly it was seen that Cobleigh henchmen were hovering over the Sixth district delegates, who were at the end of the roll call, hold irg very earnest conversations with Some of them.

Attention was called to the fact and the chairman demanded that all who were not delegates leave the floor, and that all delegates be seated. John M. Jones, delegate from the Ninth ward in Pittston, made vigorous resistance to the order to be seated and the chief with two officers were detailed to see that order was enforced. The jubilant howl that arose showed that Palmer was the winner. From that incident on every Palmer vote received yells of delight while the Cobleigh shouts grew weaker.

After the roll was complete a few contested seats were voted and the tellers handed up the result Palmer 161, Cobleigh 130. The nomination was then made unanimous. The long pent spirits were then let loose and pandemonium reigned, while Palmer's supporters surged round him and grasp ed his hand. In response to the 'ova Jon he took the platform and spoke briefly, saying that the fight" liad proved a mighty victory for Right and for Cood Government and clean politics and that the delegates had builded better than they know. Also that a new era has dawned in Luzerne politics.

The convention then adjourned at 2 o'clock to meet at 3.. The Afternoon Session. At 3:50 the convention reconvened, and immediately proceeded to vote for sheriff. Jonathan R. Davis, of Kingston, was nominated on the first ballot, the vote standing as follows: Davis, 1SG; Wm.

E. Jones, 90; Geo. B. Shonk, 18; Thomas Harris, 9. For controller, William S.
