WINNIPEG, MAN., VISITED BY THE
MOST DISASTROUS BLAZE
..> IN ITS HISTORY.
DAMAGE ESTIMATED At $70O, 900.
WALLS FALL IN AND THE RUINS
WILL CONTINUE TO BURN ~
SEVERAL DAYS.

Winnipeg, Oct. 13-This city was
visited dur'eg the night by the worst
lire in it's history. In two hours two
OF the most important business blocks
were destroyed, entailing a loss esti-
mated at 100000, with insurance Of
100000. No lives were lost.
The fire originated in the Bullman
block. The flames spread with such
rapidity that at one period it looked
as if the conaagration would rival
those of Toronto and Ottawa.
Owing to the fact that there were
chemicals in the Bullman building the
flames were within a few minutes
pouring forth from the top of that
structure. Tongues of fire shot out on
all sides and reached out over to the
immense Ashdown block. The fire
also attacked the Davis block and the
Woodbine hotel. The best the firemen
could do was to endeavOr to lOcalize
the outbreak and this looked we'll nigh
impossible owing to the rapidity with
which it made it's way through the
Ashdown block and threatened Ban.
fields, the Leland hotel and Rialto
block. The Rialto block was badly
damaged by water and heat but the
danger to the other two structures was
averted. The walls of the blocks have
all fallen in and, although the firemen
have the fire under control, it will
burn for several days.

SAID TO BE OF MOST DEs-
PERATE CHARACTER.

RUSSIANS AND JAPANESE CON-
sTANTLY LOSE AND RETAkE
VARIOUS POSITIONS.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED

The armies of Kuropatkin and
Oyama are again in battle on ground
which, as far as can be determined
from the days advices from the front,
lies generally to the north and east
of the scene of the battle of Liaoyang.
Beginning with the Russian blow at
Bentsiaputse on Oct the engagement
spread until both Toxic and st. Peters
burg report that it is raging along the
entire front. So far the results have
not been decisive.
1t is evident that Kuropatkin is
transferring the weight of his attack
to the Japanese right, which rests on
the Taltse river east of the Yentai
mines. North of Yentai the fighting is
reported to be of the most desperate
character the positions constantly
changing hands and the losses on both
sides being heavy.
Toxic reports that the battle ragged
uninterruptedly Tuesday and into the
night and that it is believed there that
the Russian turning movement was
checked. Oyama reports that he is
gaining ground and that the Russian
attack on, Siencheng, in the effort to
cut the Japanese communications with
the Yalu river, was repulsed.
At the close of Tuesdays fighting
KurOpatkin reported to the war Office
that the Japanese were offering a stub
born resistance and had even ad-
vanced their positions.

midnight on the battlefield below Muk-

that the Russians achieved decisive re-
suits in the days fighting north OF
Yentai, coupled with the Toxic repo. t
that Field Marshal Oyama is gaining
ground, causes increased apprehension.
The dispatch of the Associated Press
from Toxic was the first positive In
formation that Russian troops in any
force were already across the Taitse
river, although 1t was already known
here that some cavalry had passed
over the river, but the report that an
other column was attempting to cut

with the Yalu river did not come as

not revealed for strategic reasons, that
wide turning operations were proceed
