Mongolians Blow up Fortifications and
Place Guns in Russian Territory.
LONDON. July 18.-The Daily Mail
publishes sensational dispatch from
St. Petersburg, which asserts that there
is no doubt that China has declared war
against Russia. 1.-The Russian press,''
says the correspondent, sis restricted to
the publication of official details and
the details of many dispatches from the
front have been prohibited. I hear,
however, from reliable source that the
Chinese troops and the Boxers seized a
Russian transport vessel laden with
munitions near Aigun, killing almost
the entire escort. They suddenly at
tackled and bombarded the town of
Blagoveschensk. The garrison held
out bravely, but was finally over
whelmed. Nearly all persisted and the
town was burned" The news of the
Manchuria disturbances is not regarded
as justifying the serious view attrib-
uted by the Daily Mail advices. Amur
is boundary territory between eastern
Siberia and Manchuria. The district
has been the scene of local disturbances
for long time owing to the provoca-
tive conduct Of the Cossacks toward
the 1000 Chinese employed in the con-
struction of the Russo Manchuria rail
way
The Chinese, according to tie Daily
Nails St. Petersburg correspondent,
have thrown up Notifications and
placed 40 guns IL miles from Aigun
SIX YEARS OLD, BUT HERO.
Drowning Child Rescued by Small but
Nervy Playmate.
CLEAR LAKE, Ia, July 16.-Glen
Konvalinka, years old, son of j. w.
Konyalinka Of Mason City, who makes
his summer home here, performed an
act yesterday which raised him to the
rank of hero. AS he, with the 4-year-
old son of County Treasurer Phillips,
was playing on the end of long pier,
the Phillips child suddenly fell into the
water, where he floundered about help
lessly. Like flash young Konvalinka
sprang to the rescue. He grasped the
baby as it came to the surface the Sec
ond time, taking its loose clothing in one
hand and wi tn the other grasping the
bobstay of sailboat moored to the pier
Then he sent up a lusty cry for help and
several boats started toward the pair.
One Of them reached young Konvalinka
and his unconscious burden just as the
rescuer was about to give way from ex-
haustion. The boy is tbe hero Of the
summer colony here.

Fort DODGE, Ia, July l6-A rear

kee was instantly killed and Brakeman
Heeligman injured. The colliding
trains were the Clipper passenger

charge of Conductor Melville. The rel
sponsibility for the accident is difficult
to fix, as Conductor Melville cannot ax
plain the orders which he received NJ
