YAMAGATA IN COMMAND

LONDON, April 1. - Advices from
Tokyo say the advance guard of the
japanese army in northwestern Korea
has occupied the town Of Sengcheng,
Oh the Peking road eighteen miles west
Of Chengju and about forty miles south
of Wiju, without opposition.
When the japanese drove the Rus
slams out of Cheugju they withdrew in
two columns one going over the Koak-
san road and the other over the Peking
road. The japanese advance from
Chengju was made very rapidly 1t
was anticipated that the Russians
would resist this advance, but they
failed to do so, and now it is not prob
able that there will be any further OPP
position south of the Yalu river.
The japanese after dislodging the en-
envy at Chengju advanced to Yong

ehun, about fory-fve miles west of
Chengtu, from which place also they
drove the Russians after a brief en-
gagement
ChengJu, because Of its superior sur
roundings, is the strongest place be-
tween Pingyang and Win. Besides
these natural advantages there is an
old Korean fort there, which, had it
been defended with spirit, would have
been hard to take. The japanese are
gratifed at the comparative ease with
which they drove the Russians from
this part Of the country.
Russian patrols are reported to be in
the country east of the Peking road,
but it is not probable that there is any
considerable force Of Russians in that
section. The patrols are withdrawing
gradually to the northward toward the
Yalu.
1t is reported that the ice on the
Yalu Is well broken up, and in the fu-
ture the river must be crossed either
in junks or over pontoon bridges.
Five japanese transports, carrying
light artillery, cavalry and infantry,
have arrived at Chemulpo, and the
troops have gone forward by train to
join General Haraguchi, the newly APP
pointed commander of the Japanese
forces at Seoul.

ben Bronson will stand for trial by
jury on the charge of murder of Chas
Lyon on the night of March 81 as told
in the Evening Banner Saturday.

fence aud the unshaken story of the

ANOTHER AT
r1IDDLEBURY
College Town Suffers Its Annua
Big Blaze.

Middlebury, April. .3.-The most dis
astrous fire that has occurred here
since the conaagration OF February 3,
1903, when the six business blocks on
the west side of the river en- Main
street were swept away, visited this
place Sunday afternoon.
Fire was discovered in the second
story OF the large brick graded school
building about 3 O'Clock and despite
the heroic efforts of the two fire COM
panies, the building was gutted by the
flames in about three hours. Nothing
but the bare walls are left standing. Q
The origin of the fire is therefore a
mystery and may never be known.
One theory advanced by the townspeo-
pie was that some chemicals left in the
laboratory had ignited. Prof Howe,
principal of the school, said there were
no articles in the laboratory that
could possibly have produced fire by
spontaneous combustion.
The structure was finished in 1869
and cost 5000 1t was three stories
high and about S0xS0 feet square With
quite an elaborate cupola, and cellar
under the whole building with apart
ments for coal and every convenience
for first class educational institu-
tion.
Besides the building and fxtl1res IL
is estimated that books and supplies
worth at least $4,000 were also des-
troyed as nothing was taken out. The
insurance is said to be about s35, 900.
