FATAL FIRE IN WILLIAMSBURG
NEW YORK,
Fifteen Persons Were Overcome BY
smoke-Two viii Probably DE-
Fire Originated In Basement Of
Tenement House-lncsndiari 10
Suspected-small Financial Loss.

New York, Oct. 1s.-Four persons
were suffocated and Is were overcome
by smoke in fire which Quilted a five
story brick double tenement house at
10 Moore street, williamsburg. early
Monday. Two of the injured, a boy
and girl, probably will die. Incen.
uiarism is suspected.
The fire originated in the basement
and ran up dumbwaiter shaft, caus.
ing the crowded flats to fill rapidly
with smoke. The flames spread
through the flats on the fourth and
fifth floors, and escape for the persons
asleep there was cut of. Firemen and
police did heroic work, and soon res
cued more than score, Is of whom
were almost suffocated. These were
removed to hospital. Two children
among the number were IN q dying
condition. One fireman, in attempting
a daring rescue, was overcome by
smoke and had to be carried out by
his fellows. The loss was only $4,000.
Several fires occurred in the neigh.
borhood during the early hours today,
all of suspicious origin. They appear
ed to have been started by the same
hand, as all were discovered from me
basement Of tenements. Only the one
noted, however, was accompanied by
loss of lie.

RUSSIANS BEATEN BACK.
Thousands Of Their Dead Are Left
Everywhere.

Toxic, Oct. 15.-General Kuropat-
ans southern advance has been beat
en- back and his army is in retreat.
He is, however, still doggedly fighting
so as to spare the Russian army from
an utter rout.
Field marshal Oyama's triumphant
troops have driven the Russians north
to line along the Shakhe river. They
are vigorously pressing the pursuit
and will probably inflict stln more Sc
we're damage on Kuropatkin's forces.
AS a result Of the bloody battle of
October IA the Russians left 1000 dead
on the field they lost. Field Marshal
Oyama estimates the Russian losses at
over 10000.
The fighting continued all along the
entire line today and the end is not
near. 1t seems to be impossible for
the Russians to rally, and they will
probably be pressed back across the
Hun river.
The latest advices are that the Rus
slams left $500 dead in front of Gen.
eral Kuroki's army alone. The Rus
sian losses there are estimated at TO-
900 men.
General Oku reports that he found
and buried 1000 Russians before the
battle of October IA.

WEEK OF THE WAR.
Russians Offensive Movements Are a
Failure

Russians' Offensive Movements Are a
Failure.
The past week in the far east was
one of almost uninterrupted fighting.
sunday saw the publication of Kuro.
patkin's order for a general advance,
which had been issued several days be-
fore, and it raised high hopes in st.
Petersburg. There was constant Skin
mishing, with the outposts in close
touch. and at Bentsiaputze the Jap.
anese line was broken. The Russians
crossed the Schill river, about half
way between Mukden and Liaoyang,
and were almost engaged with the en-.
tire line of the Japanese, which ex-
tended a distance Of 81 miles through
Yentai.
Oyama had been drawing in his lines
as the Russians advanced in two
squadrons, but on Monday he assumed
the offensive, and Kuropatkin fell back
across the Schill. The fighting be-
came general on Tuesday and has been
almost uninterrupted up to the present
Time. The Russians again crossed the
Schili, but were unable to holu their
advantage, and on both right and left
wings the engagement was desperate.
The Japanese renewed the attack
Wednesday, and kept 1t up on Thurs
day, the Russians being compelled to
give ground. Kuropatkin's plan had
evidently been to envelop the Japanese
right, but while attempting this man.
euver his own right was savagely at
tackled by Oku and driven back. The
thanking movement met with poor sue.
cess. a report reaching Liaoyang Fri.
day that Kuropatkin himself with four
divisions had been cut of. This, how
ever. was not confirmed.
Kuropatkin had fallen back across
the Schili, and SO determined was the
assault of the japanese that he stead.
lily yielded ground and is reported to
have been forced back to a position
north of the Shake river, which is
about half way between the Schili and
Mukden. The contest has been even
more fierce and sanguinary than that
at Liaoyang, and, while the reports of
the actual results attained have been
fragmentary, the public is convinced
that kuropatkin's advance has ended
In disaster with frightful losses. How.
ever. nothing like rout seems to have
taken place, and the probabilities are
that the Russians will retire In fairly
good order.

HEROIC ACTION SAVES THE PAS
Gallant Charge Of Left Column Win,
for Japan.

So''a"e SHdTSc OF IeIt Sotumn WINS
for Japan.
LiaOyang, Oct. 17.-General Oku,
commanding the Japanese left, is driv.
ing the Russian reserves back upon
Changtau, after having frustrated their
attempt to flank him. He captured
two more guns east of the Tumin pass,
and trained them upon the enemy.
Heavy cannonading is heard without
interruption from the direction Of the
pass. and 1t is believed here that Gen.
eral Oku is following up his success by
pursuit. Field Marshall Oyama has
ordered seven regiments of infantry
and three columns of cavalry to pro.
coed to the Tumin pass in order to
enable General Oku to cover the ter.
ritory east and west during the pur.
suit.
