large four-story Office buildings, with
one smaller brick structure, occupied
by produce and wholesale grocery deal
ers, We're completely destroyed by fire
early to-day, entailing a loss of $11O,-
600. The insurance is between $75, 600
and SsO,00O
The main buildings destroyed are:
The Office building, the Tomlnson
building and the Harrison building, all
located on First avenue. The smaller
building is on Morris avenue and was
occupied by A. T. Killian and P. Giaz-
zoci. This was a small structure, and
aside from the loss of stock the dam
age is not great.
The fire was first discovered on the
inside of the structure occupied by A.
r. Killian. Fireworks were stored in
the building and the explosion of these
made the scene spectacular. The flames
rapidly spread to the Harrison build
ing, and from there to the Tomlinson
and Office buildings.
It looked for a while as if the whole
block was doomed, but the firemen
finally succeeded in confining the
flames to the three structures.

THEY FOUGHT A SERIES
OF ARTILLERY DUELS.

Toxic, May /. p. m.-After five
days of fighting, largely with artillery,
the first Japanese army, under Gen.
Kurod, has forced a crossing of the
Y Yalu river and to-day, with a gallant
infantry charge, covering a frontage
of four miles, drove the Russians from
Chiu Tien Chen and the nights on the
right bank of the Tho or Aida river,
which enters the Yalu from the north,
almost opposite Wiju. The Japanese
turned the left flank of the Russian
position, and in the battle of to-day
they swept away the new front inter
posed by the Russians to check their
onward movement.
The present position of the Japan
ese is a dominating one, and they may
force the abandonment of the defenses
erected by the Russians at Antung
and other points lower down the riv-
er.
Gen. Kuroki began the movement on
Tuesday by ordering a detachment Of
the Imperial Guards division to seize
the island of Kurito, which is in the
Yalu above Wiju, and detachment
of the second division to seize the
island of Kinteito, which is situated
below Wiju.
The detachment of the Imperial
Guards met some resistance, but it
succeeded in clearing the enemy out
and occupied Kurito island.
The Russians abandoned the island
of Kinteito when attacked by the de-
tachment of the second division.
Losses Light to This Time.
The actual losses sustained by the
detachment of the Imperial Guards is
not known, as there is an error in
that part of the message received here
referring to the number killed, but nine
of the detachment were severely and
sixteen slightly wounded.
The detachment of the second diVis-
ion, which took the island of Kinteito,
sustained no losses.
During these movements on the is
land, the Russians opened fire on the
Japanese with eight 9h centimetre guns
from a hill behind Chiu Tien Cheng
and two Hotchkiss guns, which were
mounted on the bank of the river at
Kosan, where the Russians seemed to
have established their headquarters.

shuts Down Against Places That
Had yellow Fever.
Laredo Tex, May 1.-The quaran-
tine rules and regulations recently
promulgated by DR.. George r. Taber,
state health officer of Texas, became
effective to-day, and hereafter any
passengers from a point which was
last year infected with yellow fever
will be compelled to show a certificate
certifying that five days previously
the bearer had not been in an infect
ed district.
The Mexican authorities have re-
fused to recognize the new regulations
and have referred the matter to the
State Department in Washington. 1t
is thought passengers win be COM
PEELED to secure a certificate from the
United States consul at some non-in-
fected point certifying absence from
an infected district for the requisite
five davs.
Many inquiries about the regulations
have been received from business men
and capitalists having interests at
points which, although now free from
yellow fever, were last year infected
and who do not wish to undergo the
quarantine established by the state Of
Texas.
1t is expected that traffic from Mex
leo to the ST. Louis Exposition will be
somewhat restricted, but not perma-
nently, as in the event of a failure to
reach an agreement between the health
authorities, traffic will be diverted via
the various steamship lines.

Division Thrown Across.
The Twelfth division of the Japanese
army was chosen to make the hrst
crossing of the Yalu. 1t began its
preparation on Friday by driving the
Russians from their position on the
bank Of the river opposite Suikochin,
which is eight miles above Wiju, ana
the point selected for the crossing. This
I division constructed pontoon bridge
over the river and at o'clock Satur-
day morning it began crossing. The
entire division passed over the river
during the day and by 6 o'clock Satur-
day evening it was in the position as
signed to it for the battle of Sunday.
The movement of the Twelfth Japa-
