 on the State Debt

St. Petersburg, Jan. 2.-An imperial decree just issued directs the payment reserves in the imperial treasury for the redemption of large portion of the state debt to the imperial bank.

It is declared on trust worthy authority that the question of 8 loan in no way engages the govern ment's attention and that the sugges- tions to the contrary emanate from rep resentatives of the financial world, who increasingly address loan proposals to Russia.

TEN PERISHED AT HERMAN

for the inhabitants of the little village.
One hundred buildings have been COM

the same plumber in the south part Of
the town. These comprise four resi-
Gences, the schoolhouse and one church.

there are about 500 of them, are abso-

pend on public charity for sustenance
and chance to begin life over again.
The work of relief has begun, and in
substantial manner. About 100 un-
fortunates are lodged at Blair. The

and the Washington county board ap-

Enemy Use Guns Presented by
Admiral Dewey With Ter

New YORK, June ia special from
Manila says: The fighting of the past
few days has been the most desperate
of the campaign in the Philippines. The
rebels have not only fought bravely, but
their daring is simply dumbfounding.
They have taken advantage of the fail
ure of the Americans to make impos-
sible the return Of the enemy to the
vicinity of Manila, and the result is
that the Filipinos made an attack right
in range of the warships, where it was
presumed they would not have the
hardihood to venture. Losses on the
American side have been heavy. True,
the Filipinos have lost in much greater
proportion. but at no previous time
since hostilities were inaugurated have
the American forces suffered as heavily
in casualties as during the past few
days.
