KUROPATKIN'S MIND EASY

Russian Troops Are In Excellent Con.

Haicheng, June 2S.-The war picture
has quickly changed. thanks to General
kuroki's movements
A heavy engagement is expected to-
morrow near the village of Simou
Cheng, fifteen miles southeast of Hal
Cheng, and an equal distance due east
of the railroad. The Japanese have
now passed Dalin Hill and are twenty
miles south of the Russian position.
The Associated Press correspondent
returned here from Ia Tche Kiao at
dawn today. terrific rain rendered
the roads almost impossible.
The Russian regiments are camped on
high ground. Signal fires from the
hilltops are constantly faring, lighting
up the bivouaes and horse lines of the
cavalry regiments. Long trains of SOL
diers are constantly passing and re-
passing.
The Russian troops are in excellent
condition.
General Kuropatkin and his staff are
apparently quite easy in their minds.
The Japanese have given the Russians
time to strengthen their base and flank.
while General Kuroki is not as secure
as formerly from a flank attack.
General Kuroki cannot get around
the Russian position without forcing a
fight.

The six land Offices in Nebraska were
the scenes of great excitement. At

DEATH OF CORRESPONDENT.
II. G. Middleton, Representative of Tn,
Associated Press, Expires.

H. G. Middleton, Representative of The
Associated Press, Expires.
New Chwang, June 2S.-H. ]. NJ
dleton, the Associated Press correspond
ent with the Russian headquarters near
Lao Yang. in Manchuria, died Sunday
from enteric dysentery.
Henry J. Middleton, the first of the
American war correspondents to lose
his life at the front in the present con-
fict, was representing the Associated
Press at General Kuropatkin's head
quarters near Lao Yang He was TAX
en- sick with enteric dysentery less
than a week ago and only on Sunday
was dispatch received from him in
which he requested a substitute be
sent to relieve him. He was about SO
years of age, unmarried, and was born
in London.
Mr.. Middleton was a vivid descrip-
tive writer. a linguist, a student, and
one of the best posted men on inter
national affairs. He became connected
with the London bureau of the Assoc
ciated Press in 1892 and filled almost
every position except superintendent
in that Office.
From the first he developed remark
able aptitude and earnestness in his
profession. his cordial endeavor be-
ing to thoroughly familiarize himself
with whatever subject he undertook
He served as London correspondent for
The New York Evening Post for over
a year. earning high appreciation from
that journal He also reported for tha
Associated Press all the vigilant-
Brittanio races in the waters about
Scotland. Ireland and England. secur-
ing many advantages over experienced
yachting correspondents who followed
these races.
While his career contained many re-
.aarkable journalistic feats which
brought him praise, perhaps his most
brilliant work was in reporting for the
Associated Press the Dreyfus trial at
Rennes. where he made a name foi
himself in competition with such well
known men as Julian Ralph and Harry
D. Stevens whose admiration and re-
spect he obtained at that time. Though
lnassIsted he often forwarded four or
five columns a day of the interesting
pictures and dramatic incidents of that
great case. Mr.. Middleton also gave
exclusively to- the American papers
the account Of the fnal raid and cap
ture of Fort Chabral. the name given
the house in Paris. where. during the
Dreyfus excitement. Guerin fortified
himself and dehed the French author
tiles.
When the Associated Press opened
an independent bureau in Paris in the
fall of 1899 for the concentration there
of all Southern EuroI%an ne.7s, Mr..
Middleton was sent there as assistant
to the manager and when the latter
was recalled, became Paris correspond
ent of the Associated press which po
sition he filled until the winter of 1902
Then he was brought to New York,
where he acted as night cable editor.
Upon the opening of the Pacific cable
at San Francisco Mr. Middleton was
sent to inaugurate the cable depart
ment Of the Associated Press in that
city.
With the opening Of the Russo-Ja-
panese war he was among those draft
ed for that service by the Associated
Press. He sailed from San Francisco

his knowledge of languages was finally
ordered to join the Russian headquart-
ers in Manchuria and to do so went tt

and from the latter point to New
Chwang, where he entered the Russian
lines and proceeded to Mukden, joining
Viceroy AIexieff's headquarters. Later
he proceeded to Lao Yang and there
recently reported several engagements
Mr. Middleton had an attractive per-
sonal character which won him devoted
friends wherever he went, because his
nature was loyal and generous one.
Modest and retiring, he was a man of
indefatigable energy in his work and
tireless in his conscientious devotion
to duty, making of himself one of the
most respected and trusted correspond
ents the Associated Press ever had in
its service

Paris, June 2s.--Gustave Flamm OF
San Francisco, the passenger on the

NAL written statement which will be

part:
Il saw on the gangplank going from

at Plymouth q man whose name. after
comparing with his description am
positive was Kent ]. Loomis. was
standing at the railing looking at the
tug. probably five feet away from
Loomis. He wore light overcoat,
eye glasses and travelling cap. He had
seat at the table next to mine. also
saw him much on the deck and around
the ship and knew him sufficiently to
identify him positively. LOOMS, being

this was Kent J. Loomis. further
state that I am positive saw Kent j.

reached Piymouth) Loomis was as
sisted or sustained in his walk by the
gentleman and lady. further state
that the gentleman and lady were the
same who occupied the table with him
and who were in company with him a
great deal during the trip"
The statement adds certain details
of a rather personal nature which II is
desirable to withhold for the present
Mr. Loomis's trunks and valises
which the steamship company held
subject to Consul Gowdy's orders were
turned over to-day to consulate. They
were all locked and there were no keys.
A curious fact is that the trunks bear
as an Identification mark the letter
F. instead of L." The tags show that
the first name had been erased.
The Cherbourg report that Loomis's
body had been washed up near there,
although denied. had tended to height
en- the tragic possibility of the case
The authorities here have not aban-
doned hope but they admit that each
day adds increasing gravity to the

HAD FEAFUL STRUGGLE.
Men Fight Each Other to Secure Thei
Escape.

Escape.
Kingston, Jam, June 2S-Further
details of the accident near Spanish
town yesterday involving the loss of
thirty-three lives, show that owing to
the recent heavy rains a large quaint
ty of sand and debris had accumulated
in the pipe line operating the turbines
of the West Indian Electric Company,
owning the street car lines
One hundred and twenty men were
employed in the removal of this accum-
ulation. They were divided into two
gangs. The gang at work In the lower
section of the pipe found that the wa
ter was rising, became panic stricken
and made a rush to the nearest man.
hole. The engineer in charge shouted
to the men to follow him towards the
turbines at the power house. hut only
eight of them needed him. These men
were saved.
The remainder of the gang fought
like wild beasts at the man hole. They
tore and bit each other in frenzied eff
forts to get out of the trap. Four men
escaped by swimming up the pipe line
to a higher manhole. The rest of the
gang, thirty three in number, persisted
In the rising waters. But for the panic
all of them would have escaped.
Nearly all of the bodies have been
recovered. They. as well as some of
the survivors, bore marks of the fear
full struggle.
