HURoKHs MOVEMENTS.
with Utmost Caution---Lines
 Strongly Held.


 St. Petersburg, June 2S. Emperor Nicholas has received the following dispatch from General Kuropatkin, un- der date of June 21.
 "A Japanese army from Kai Cilau is gradually advancing northward.
 General Kuroki's advance from Siu- Yen has been suspended, evidently to effect an alignment of the two armies.
 "The strength Of the enemy's van guard is approximately a division and several sqpadrons of cavalry and the Siu Yen force of nine squadrons sup ported by a strong column of infantry toward the south.
 The enemy's position on June 19 and June 21 extended within seven miles southward to Senuchen along line from the sea to the mountainous and difficult district east of the railway.
 "The enemy's advance lines are being strongly held by cavalry and screen of infantry. The passes and defiles in the mountains east of the railway are also vigilantly guarded
 "A movement of strong Japanese mounted patrols with infantry supports was noted June 20 from five in the aft ernoon onwards. We had no losses in the firing which ensued, while the Jap anese had several killed and wounded.
 ''An increase in the Japanese forces has been noticed south of Vanfiapudze, and near the villages of Manziapudze, and Khakahei. Reinforce ments are also reaching the Japanese at the furthest point of the road be- tween Siu-Yen and Tanchi via Paia- haniou and Siakhotan.
 ''The Japanese are erecting field for tifications on the road from Siu Yen to Kai-C -Chau.

HARVARD's WORK
Second Crew Disbonded but Two Men
 Being Kept as Substitutes.

Harvard Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, June 2S.-The Harvard crews were to- night again favored by good weather, but despite the excellent conditions the varsity was sent only to the navy yard and back in two easy paddles. They were told to pull a slow, easy stroke, which they did. and no time for the trial was given out. They went the distance alone, as the second crew was disbanded this afternoon and it was decided not to work the freshmen hard in view of their work this morning. Coach Colson intended to let the var sity go the four miles over the regular course, but changed his mind at the last moment.
 Captain Dillingham; disbanded the second crew and all of the men, with the exception of Bowditch and Linds- ley, went to Cambridge. These two will be kept at Red Top as substitutes.

NEw $1o COUNTERFEIT.
Discovered by Secret Service Men of
 "BufYalo' Series.

Washington, June 23.-The secret ser- vice announces the discovery of a new counterfeit $10 United States Buffalo note, series of 1901, check letter c, plate No. 105, Lyons register, Roberts treas urer. It is a lithographic production, apparently the work of the persons re- sponsible for previous commercials on the same issue. The figures in the treasury number are too large and of irregular formation. The portraits of Lewis and Clark appear blurred and scratchy, while the seal and denomina- tional character are light pink instead of carmine. The back of the note is poor, and the green ink is several shades darker than the genuine.

LIFE PRESERVBRS USELESS
TESTIMONY AT THE sLooUM
 INQUEST YESTERDAY.

One of the Survivors Declares That
 When He Tried to Pull One From Its
 Wire Fastening It Crumbled Like So
 Many Soda CracIxers--Captain Van
 Schnfck Brought in on Stretcher.
 New York, June 2S.--Much of the tes- timony given at the inquest to-day into the General Slocum disaster went to show that the life preservers on that steamer were practically useless. At least half dozen witnesses describ- led first of all how difficult these life preservers were to get at and how they fell to pieces at critical times. Paul Liebenow, a passenger on the Slo- cum, declared that when the wires by which the preservers were secured in the racks would not give, he took hold of the preservers and they crumbled like so many soda crackers. Another witness, Reuben H. Tudor, testified that several bodies f1oated in with life preservers on them. To test one of the preservers, he said, he pulled it to pieces with his finger nail. He still had that life preserver in his possess sion and promised to send it to the dis .tfict attorneys office.
 Other witnesses told of similar ex- periences with the life saving appar- atus on the Slocum, and of the great amount of powdered cork that floated on the water after the steamer was beached. Captan Van Schaick was brought into the court room on stretcher. He apparently was suffer- ing greatly but expressed a willingness to undergo an examination by the cor oner. He was ordered back to the hos pital, however, and his examination postponed until next week.
 The hull of the Slocum was raised to- day and great deal of water pumped out of the hold. A search was made for bodies but none was recovered. At the next full tide the hulk will be talk en more inshore A thorough explora- tion of the wreckage has not yet been made and it is possible that tomorrow bodies will be found in the entangle- ment of timbers and machinery Su- pervising Inspector Rodie, of the Unis- ed States steamboat inspection, picked up number of life preservers on the main deck of the Slocum and tagged them for use in the government investi- gation. These preservers were badly torn and more than half filled with powdered cork.
 Twenty-four additional bodies were recovered to-day, bringing the total number of known dead up to 907. One hundred policemen, who have been making a canvass of all districts where persons were reported to be missing, completed their work tonight. In- spector Schmittberger, who was in charge of the canvass, estimated the total number of dead including the missing at about 1000. He said that the police in many instances found at their homes persons who have been of ficially missing since the day the steam CT was burned. In one case man, his wife and two children, whose names had appeared in all the published lists of missing, were found at their homes. They had not been on the excursion at all, and the elders were not even aware that they had been reported missing
 Others among the missing were found at hospitals and at various other places,

YALE LOSES FIRST GAME
HARVARD WINS BY SCORE OF
 FIVE TO THREE.


 Uninteresting Ever Played at Cam
 bridge-FieIding of Both Sides Er-
 ratic-BeII, the Freshman Pitcher,
 Replaces Jackson in the Box and
 Does Good Work.
 Cambridge, Mass, June 22.-In one of the most uninteresting college gaines ever played in Cambridge, Harvard de- feated Yale at baseball this afternoon. It was the first of the series between the two colleges, and the score-5 to 5 in favor of the crimson men-Was made through cratic fielding on both sides rather than by batting which could be called above the average. There was little in the whole course of the game to arouse the enthusiasm of the twelve thousand spectators; in fact. the only time when the cheering reached the usual vigor of a college crowd was in the last half of the third, when Har- yard made four of her five runs. Co., burn, who pitched for Harvard, while fairly effective, striking out six men, gave four bases on balls
 Jackson started in to pitch for Yale, but in the middle of the third inning was retired, Bell, another freshman, taking his place. The latter was very effective, but the substitution came too late. With a puzzling in-drop he de- ceived the crimson batters, eight of them striking out, while Greenough and Matthews were the only ones to hit safely. Yale started off auspiciously by scoring in the first inning on O'Brien's base on balls, a sacrifice, steal and a scratch hit by Miller. Harvard was blanked for two innings and then made up by scoring four runs in the third, which enlivened the grand stands for the only time of the day. Herman got his base on balls. Coburn attempted to sacrifice and Huiskamp juggled the ball badly, the Harvard Ipitcher getting to first safely. Carr was hit and took first, filling the bases with none out. Stephenson hit slow lone to O'Brien and the latter failed to Icatch Herman at the plate. Jackson followed this with a wild pitch and Co., burn and Carr scored Randall hit to Huiskamp and Stephenson was thrown lout at the plate. Matthews lined out a great two base hit to right center field, sending Randall to third. Then Bell went in for Jackson. but Fischel's long fly sent Randall home with the fourth run Bell, however, soon showed his Iwort hby striking out Mccarthy and iretiring the side.
 Harvard scored again in the fifth, when Randall, who drew@a base on balls and went to third on singles by Mat thews and Greenough, was forced in by Bell hitting Kernan.
 Yale's second run was scored in the sixth on base on balls. a stolen base and a sacrifice hit, O'Brien getting the run. The last run for Yale was made in the seventh on Kernan's wild throw ito first and Cohurn's poor throw to third.
 The game was played under ideal weather conditions and before gaily dressed but singularly unresponsive crowd. The score:

HAITI INSULTS POWERS.
French and German Ministers Stoned
 at Port Au Prince.


 Paris, June 23.-The foreign office has received a dispatch from M. Deprez, the French minister at Port-au-Prince, Hayti, saying that while he and the German minister were driving past the palace yesterday they were attacked and stoned by soldiers forming the pal ace guard. M. Deprez was struck on the leg by a stone and was slightly in jured. The ministers wives, who were in another carriage following, were also pelted. The wife of the French minis ter is an American.
 As Foreign Minister Delcasse has only just received the dispatch, he has not yet determined what steps shall be taken, but the officials consider it cer- tain that France will make an energetic demand for redress. One French war ship is near the scene, and another is at the French naval headquarters in the West Indies. It is expected that Germany will make similar demand for redress.
 Washington, June 23.-- Confirmation of the reported attack on the French and German ministers in Hayti came to the state department to-day in the shape of the following cable message from Minister Powell at Port-au-P Prince, dated June 22:
 French and German ministers, with their ladies, while passing the palace in their carriages yesterday were ston- ed by the palace guard. French minis ter slightly injured. Apology demanded but none given. Both have cabled their governmental
