Woodstock, March 28. â€" Friday night's heavy rainfall considerably increased the volume of water which has flooded the lowâ€"lying lands about the city, although by Saturday morning the freeze-up had reduced it again. During the day the Hay Company had to close their works. the water having encroachcd on some of the underâ€"floor shafting, interfering with the operation of the vats. The Canada Furniture factory closed down in the morning, and the Woodstock Wagon Company was compelled to shut oi! the steam Saturday morning and close opera- tions. During the night the flood covered a wide area. of land in the extreme southwest corner of the city. All the flats west of the Furniture Com- pany’s lumher yards were inundated, and the Thames flats to the west were under water. The land purchas- ed by the city, and on which the septic tank and filtering beds have been constructed. is flooded over, and there is no sign of the sewer works to be seen. The water rose ovâ€" er the 11th line bridge, and. on Sat- vvv. Communication by the Grand Trunk between here and Detroit is cut of! owing to the heavy washouts on the line. Unless several days of warm weather are again followed by rain, there is small danger of fur- ther trouble. Boating In the Streets.

Sunday morning saw the river fully eight feet below what it was twelve hours previously. The loss through damage to property is roughly esti- mated in the neighborhood of $25.- Another may die from exposure. Thomas Lawless, Front street, sua- ering from typhoid fever, was re- moved from his home in an open boat yesterday morning to 0. place of safety, and conveyed to Victoria Hospital, where he is in a. very cri- tical condition. All day Friday the river rose and surged along with a sullen roar. The warm rain sent the water of the entire district from the Couuty of Perth into its bed, and with each hour the gauge at Springbank re. corded a rise in the flood. Though the ice had been pretty well cleared out of the south branch on Thurs- day, Friday at 4.30 the ice which had been jammed in the north branch north of St. Mary's gave way, and came down the river at race-horse speed. scuflhng 'and crashing in the foam at the forks before it found its way into the current westward toward the lake. bf'wo'o‘cloék all the low banks along the south branch had been covered with water.

Tokio, March 30.â€"Admiral Baron Yamamoto. Minister of Marine, read ViceAdmiral Togo's account 0! the sixth Japanese attack on Port Ar- thur in the Lower House of the Ja- panese Diet yesterday. The report was received with tremendous ap- plause. Admiral Yamamoto referred feelingly to the heroic death of an officer, who was killed in the one gagement, and dwelt on the great difiiculty of bottling up Port Arthur effectively. He said that this project was still far from completion. Con- tinuing, the Minister of Marine de- clared that the revival of ,martial spirit at Port Arthur since the ar- rival thcre of ViwAdmiral Mam. of! Was apparent. and he expressed the hope‘ that the Russians would emerge boldly from the harbor and attack the Japanese fleet. The House unanimously adopted a resolution encouraging the Government, prais- {agitheuna‘i'y and pledging itself to spare no cost. in the prosecution of the war. A BRISK FIGHT AT CHONGJU St. Petersburg, March 30.-The Emperor has received a despatch from General Kuropatkin giving a lengthy report from General Mish- tchenko. dated 10 p.m., March 28, which says that an important en- gagement took place near the town of Chongju, in which the Russians were defeated, retiring in perfect. order. The Japanese suflcred heav- ily, but the Russian losses are not stated. Cavalry and infantry on both skies were engaged. The Rus- sians occupied a commanding posi- tion. The Japanese fought gallant, ly, but. owing to their heav . losses, were unable ‘to occupy the position abandoned by the Russians. Gen. Knrepatkln'n Report. - General Kuropatkin’s report to the Czar is as follows: I have the honor to respectfully communicate to Your Majesty the repor of Gen- eral Mischtchenko, dated arch 28 at 10 p.m., which says: For three consecutive days our small outposts attempted to draw the Japanese cavalry into action, but their pet- rols, after contact was established, retired beyond Chongju, about 50 miles northwest of Pingyang. Hav- ing learned that four squadrons oi the enemy were posted five versts be- yond Chongju, on March 27, six companies marched toward Kasan and. on March 28 reached Chongju at 10.30 a.m. As soon as our scouts approached the town the enemy opened fire from behind the hill.

The detachment protecting our rear guard arrived quietly at Kasas, where we halted for two hours in order to give attention to our wounded. At 9 p.m. our forces reached Noosan.

Hold Their Ground Despite Heavy Fire For Hours. In the town a company 01 wintry and a squadron of cavalry were lying in ambush. Our men were re- inlorced by three companies and at- tacked tho Japanese with a cross fire. Nothwithstanding this and our commanding position. the Japanese gallantly held their ground, and it was only after a fierce fight of half an hour's duration that the Japan- ese ceased fire and sought refuge in the houses.
