OTHER CHINESE REPORTS.

Che Foo, June S.-According to re- ports brought here by Chinese arrivals from Port Arthur, the outer forts of that place have been badly damaged by Japanese bombardments. Many buildings in the town have also been destroyed, but the inner forts have suf- fered but little.
 The Chinese appear to be unable to give any intelligent report on the con- dition of the Russian fleet, proba ply owing to the fact that they were not allowed in the vicinity of the naval base. The statement made by them that when they left there were only three large ships there, probably means that number were in the outer harbOr and that the others were behind the Tigers Tail and in the naval basin.
 Every junk at Port Arthur has, it is stated, been chartered to carry away Chinese, but a few of whom now re- main in the besieged city.

EMPTY REFRESHMENTS.
The Japanese Abandon Their Defenses
 Near Vafangow.

Liao Yang, June S-The Japanese have evacuated their position near Vafangow. The neighboring mountains are deserted and the recently con- structed entrenchments are empty. The Japanese mounted scouts even are no longer seen and the Russian patrols have failed to locate any Japanese as far as Nafangkau. The railway is only slightly damaged and can be repaired in a few hours.
 severe fight my be expected at Kin Chou. where the Japanese are concern trated in positions captured from Rus sians. The Japanese north of Polan- dien are apparently retiring on that place. The Japanese have not effected landing at kai Chau. Their fleet of twenty-five transports loaded with ma terial and provisions, which was lying off kai Chau has disappeared. Stores of the Japanese army are reaching Kin Chou from all directions.
 While the days are now hot and the nights cool it is learned that the Jap anese trops are suffering from disease brought on by the sharp variations of temperature. The Japanese regard the use of the lance as barbarous because of the mortal wounds it inicts. In the recent fighting the Japanese, it is estimated. lost 320 killed or wounded. They employ many coolies to carry away the bodies under the cover of night.

Two Battles Yesterday
 Near Victor
DEFEAT OF THE MINERS
One Man Was Killed and Twenty-one Prisoners Were Taken-Last Affair Was a Bloodless Engagement A Threatened Break of the Bull-Pen.

Denver, June S.-Although the trenI of opinion expressed by residents of the towns surrounding Cripple Creek. the scene of exciting events during tho past thren days, is that order will resume sway rapidly now, there is an evident feeling of fear lest other and more ssr.- ous clashes occur between the estab- lished authorities and the supporters of unioniEm in the camp. This is due to persistent report which has gained circulate but which is given but Iit- tie credence, that all the members of the labor unions, regardless of their occupations. will be asked to leave the district under pain of deportation
 Two battles today between the sol diers and the union miners, one at Dunnville threatening at first to hare extremely serious results, form the main topic of discussion throughout
 the camp. The Bull Hill affair was simply a skirmish between the union
 men and the soldiers who were securing
 inc hills for miners, who were wanted
 by the authorities.
 An important feature of the days events was the appointment of a com mission to deal with the military pris-
 onars. This commission consists 1f woll known citizens and business men
 of the towns of the district. Their dis position of the cases brought before them will not be final. It is the purpose to have them separate the prisoners i into groups so that those considered deserving of being charged with crime ! may be held and the remainder freed or
 deported as is considered advisable | The sessions of the commission will be l secret.
 Further resignations of city officials | occurred today, in some Instances -,I- l fecting almost a complete change in the l official rosters of the town govern
 ments. No definite clue to the parpe- 1 tratore of the outrage at IndepeRdence | has developed as yet. Deported union
 men who were brought to this city are being cared for by their brethren of the Western Federation of Miners snI
 will, according to the programme he
 main here at least for the present. ] Governor Peabody's return from st.
 Louis has brought about no change In
 the situation. He expressed the belief
 that Adjutant General Bell had the sit Q
 uation well in hand and he said he l would wait suggestions from General Bell before proceeding further.

CHEERED THE JAPANESE.
An Incident in a Gathering of Russian
 Officers.

Liao Yang, June S.-An entire ab-, serce of personal feeling against the Japanese is noted here. This may be due to conscious superiority over the foe. No doubt the Russians are en- tirely confident of final victory. The message of sympathy sent by the Jap anese on the occasion of the Petropav- lovsk disaster led to the conviction that the Russians had to deal with a chiValrouS foe.
 An incident testifying to the exist ence O fthis sentiment took place here in a restaurant which is frequented by officers. The war was being discussed and also the recent disaster to the Japanese warships off Kwan Tung peninsula. when an officer proposed cheers for the brave Japanese which were warmly given by Russian officers. who undoubtedly admire the courage of the Japanese.

BECKHAM MEN WON
KentuCky'S Old Democracy
 Without Power
In the Preliminary Skirmishins It Was Made Clear That There Will be No Instructions.

Louisville, Ky, June S.-What prom ised to be a bitter contest for the con- trol of the state organization came up in the democratic state convention which met here today. The result of the first struggle, the election of tenn porary chairman was a decisive vic tory for the administration forces, led by Governor Beckham. Governor Beck ham was elected temporary chairman by vote of S17 to 322 over Judge Frank Peake, of Shelby county. The fight against the administration was led by Senator Blackburn, assisted by Sena- tor McCreary and Congressman D. H. Smith.
 When the convention opened, State Chairman Young made a lengthy speech, in which he attacked the meth ods of the administration workers. At the close of Chairman Young's speech, Congressman Ollie James placed Gov ernor Beckham in nomination for tenn oorary chairman.
 United States Senator Blackburn nominated J. B. Peak. Senator Black burn made d remarkable speech. He asserted that the democratic party in Kentucky was falling into the grasp of a machine and out of control of the voters. He declared that he and his associate would contest to the last the effort of the administration to elect Lewis McQuown chairman of the state central committee.
 Passing to national affairs. he spoke in favor of an .uninstructed delegation His sentiments in this respect met the approval of the convention and his sub sequent reference to Parker and Nc Clellan as available candidates espe- cially provoked only moderate enthusi- asm.
 Concerning Bryan, the senator an nounced his firm belief in the Nebras- ka statesman's purity of motive, and he said the report that Bryan would bolt the St Louis convention if the candidate or platform should prove un- satisfactory was an infamous false hood. The overwhelming vote for Governor Beckham for temporary chairman put his adherents in full con- trol of the temporary organization. Governor Beckham in his speech aC- cepting the temporary chairmanship, announced that the fight for the con- trol of the party was not of his seek ing. He denied Senator Blackburn $ assertion that a machine and not the voters controlled the party.
 There was a spirited debate in the committee on resolutions over the plat form, five of the members demanding reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform. In order to prevent a con- test on the floor of the convention a compromise was effected by adopting the following close:
 'The democratic party of Kentucky, in convention assembled afIirms it's faith in and adherance to the great and fundamental principles of democ- racy as eXpounded by Jefferson. eXem- plified by Jackson and ably defended by Bryan"
 The course of Governor Durbin, of Indiana, in refusing to surrender or a requisition from the governor of Kentucky the persons of w. $. Taylor and Chas. Finley, fugitives from jus tice, charged with the murder of Wm.

Goebel," is denounced as a violation of the constitution.
 At the night session the majc city re pert of the committee on organization was adopted carrying with it the cleo tion of McQuown as chairman of the state central committee, and Senators Blackburn and McCreary, Governor Beckham and Congressman James as delegates at large.
 The adoption of the report of the committee on resolutions was followed by a heated wrangle over a resolution endorsing Judge Alton B. Parker for president, introduced by Congressman Sherley, of Louisville. The convention by a vote of nearly three to one de- clined to consider the resolution. all delegates from country districts voting not to suspend the rules and consider it. The convention then adjourned.

Confident of an Ultimate
 Triumph Over Japan
FEVER HEAT PREVAILS
An Expectation That Things Will Break Loose in Three Days-Con- tinued Report of the Loss of Japan eSe Ships.

St. Petersburg, June S.-Reports of sorties from and attacks on Pert Ar thur coming in from foreign sources arouse the liveliest interest here. The government, not having means of com munication with the fortress, accepts them with reserve. The tension over the situation at the treater of war is manifestly increasing. The general staff is becoming more reticent and the public is convinced that an important battle which may decide the fate of the campaign is coming.
 Outpost engagements between the main armies of Generals Kuropatkin and Kuroki have suddenly ceased. Such a lull frequently occurs after two armies have been for some time in touch and just before they are ready to strike. Kuropatkin has not yet moved, according to the latest advices. but is drawing in his skirmlshers as if preparing to do so.
 Developments on the lower part of I.lao Tung peninsula today determine when and where the two armies will come into collision. Kuropatkin has elaborately fortified his position at Liao Yank in anticipation of a possible for WdIu movement Oll lllC ptlIl Ol N LII OfAl and the army landed at Tallu Shan. But Kuropatkin's aggressiveness and the approach of the rainy season, which would stop operations, as well as the pressure to impede General Okus army may have been determin- ing factors in despatching a force southward, the strength of which IS as much a mystery as ever. The Japanese tn q T- vance, having already withdrawn be- fore it to below Wafandian. If Kuroki should now push in behind this force across the head of Liao Tung penin- sula, KurOpatkin, in the opinion Oi military experts, with nothing to fear on his flank, is certain to come down from the north and a decisive battle might occur in the neighbOrhood O. Hai Cheng.
 The admiralty is convinced that either the battleship Yashina or. the battleship Shiyishma has been lost of Talienwan.

A BELATED REPORT.

St. Petersburg, June S.-Emperor Nichola3 has received the following dispatch from Viceroy AleXieff: "Ac- cOrding to the report of Rear Admiral Witsoeft on the battle of Kin ChoI our right flank was strongly supported by the gunboat Bobr and the torpedo boats Burnt and Buiki, which after wards returned to Port Arthur.
 "On the night of May 26 ten torpedo boats were sent out against the Jap anese boats operating in Kin Chou bay. One torpedo boat struck the rocks and sank. Her crew was saved. The casualties among those serving the naval guns were Lieutenant Shi- manobovsky and six sailors wounded

branch at Port Arthur by the way of Che Foo. The message said that work on the Russian battleship Pobieda. which had a hole thirty feet wide in her side, is proceeding satisfactorily.
 Wireless communication with Port Arthur promises to raise an interesting international question. There is no evidence that the Russian government has yet received wireless message although it is suggested that Rear Ad- miral Wittsoefts report to Viceroy AleXieff may have come by this med ium. Some of the authorities who have been examining the question are in- clined to hold that if a blockaded port communicates by wireless telegraphy with a shore station in neutral terri tory it does not necessarily constitute a breach of neutrality any more than communication ever an unsevered cable, the enemy having the remedy in one case of cutting the cabe and in the other of stationing vessel rigged with wireless apparatus between the send ing and receiving stations, thus inter- fering with communication.
 The crews of the Baltic fleet have been completed. Eight thousand men and officers of the naval reserve have been taken from six provinces. The remainder of the naval reserves have not been called out Grand Duke Alexis, high admiral, has inspected
 the ships at Libau and the emperor will visit them shortly.
 A portion of the first army corps stationed in the St. Petersburg district and recently called to colors, is leav-
 ing Saturday for Novgcrod, where the
 mobilization of the corps will occur The corps is scheduled to leave for the | front on June 25th.

 "The Japanese on June (according to a Chinese reporO, made several sustained and stubborn attacks on Port Arthur simultaneously by land and sea. They were repulsed with severe loss. The position of the Japanese in Kwan Tung is said to be precarious.
