JAPANESE REPULsE REPORTED.
News Received From Port Arthur by
Russian General staff.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 30-The
general staff has received news that in the
general assault on Port Arthur from Sep
tember 20 to September 20 the Japanese
were everywhere repulsed.
In view of the fact that advices have been
received from the Russian consulate at Che
foo, saying the Japanese assaults on Port
Arthur. September % to September 20, were
successfully beaten off, the authorities at
the war office discredit the Chefoo report
that the japanese have captured the main
forts at Port Arthur. The information of
the war office proves that the japanese
losses during the siege have been 1900
killed or wounded.
The health of General Dragomirof is
worse and there is now no question of his
going to the front. General Dragomiroffs
name has been mentioned in connection
with the appointment of chief of staff of
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitoh.
should the latter be appointed commander
in-chief OF the Russian forces in Manchu-
ria
The reports from Seoul of the landing OF
@ Russian detachment from Vladivostok
north of Hamheung are denied at the war
office. The few Russian troops in north
eastern Korea went there overland.

BIG FIRE IN NEW YORK
NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MIL
LION LOSS SUSTAINED.
Meat Packing House and Refrigerating
Plants Burned-Fire Chiefs Mar
row Escape-Rescues.

NEW YORK, September 3O-NearIy a
quarter of a million dollars loss was caused
by fire in the big block of meat pack
ing house and refrigerating plants in 10th
avenue between 18th and 14th streets.
Starting late last evening the fire burned
steadily through the night before it was
brought under control today.
Chief Croker came near meeting death by
falling through a floor weakened by the
flames into cellar under the building. He
was rescued by two fremen. when 1t was
found that his hand was badly cut. A few
moments later he chief rushed up a ladder
and rescued two f1remen who had been
overcome by ammonia fumes in time to
prevent their falling to the ground.
The Cudahys' Loss.
The heaviest loss was in the three-story
building occupied by the Cudahy Packing
Company, the 7. A. Wheeler Company and
Conron Brothers, dealers in poultry, where
the fire started. In the basement Of this
building are located the engines furnishing
power to the several refrigerating plants
and other machinery in the various pack
Ing plants.
Besides the building where the fire start
ed, 1t damaged and practically destroyed
the Raines law hotel of D. F. Cunningham
and two four-story buildings occupied by
T. A. Wheeler & Co. and the G. H. Ham
mond Company. The loss to the Cudahy
Company is estimated to reach $125, 600
and that to the others between s75, 600 and
100000.
Firemen Hindered.
Bursting ammonia pipes and tanks
masses of soft coal which caught fire and
sent forth choking gases and buildings that
went up like tinder boxes made the fire
one of the worst with which the fremen
have had to contend with in long while.
Nearly two score fremen were overcome by
the fumes, but all were afterward able to
return to their work.
The difficulties of the firemen were great
ly increased, they declare, by insufficient
police protection, which obliged them in
addition to fighting the fire, to guard their
lines of hose and keep back the crowds

Toxic, Feb. 12.-Japan has landed
a large body of mixed troops at Won
san, a Japanese colony, halfway up
the east coast of Korea. This force
will cooperate with that already es-
tablished at .Pingyang, on the oppo-
site side of the peninsula. These two
forces constitute Japan's second line
of defense against the Russian troops
seeking to envelop Korea from the
north. The first line of defense is
composed of troops dispatched to oc-
cupy positions which command Korea
from the south bank of the Yalu river.
Whether this army will reach its des-
tination in time to intercept the lnVad-
ers remains to be seen.
Japan's military strategy even thus
early is based on the assumption that
it's command of the seas on both sides
of Korea is reasonably secure. Troop
laden transports constantly are leav-
ing Japanese harbors, bound for the
north. The mobilization Of the army
has been effected without a hitch. The
transportation of soldiers and supplies
by rail from the anterior to the coast
is proceeding with clocklike precision
and the appearance and behavior of
all arms Of the service are ideal.

confusion of dates.
