ANCIENT HISTORY
Events Preceding the Capture of Kin
 Chou.

St. Petersburg. June 6.-The ministry of war has received a dispatch from Lieutenant General Zilinski, chief staff tc General Kuropatkin, dated June 8, in which he summarizes a written ac- count by General Stoessel of the events preceding the battle of Kin Chou:
 The situation. of May 21," says Gen. Zilinski. appears to have been that the Japanese army had arrived before Mount Sampson but had not begun the attack on the town Kin Chou, occupied by our troops.
 The enemy had occupied Kerr pen insula and had sent large lighters into
 Khumeza bay. These, however, had been obliged to retire owing to the fire of our artillery. Our troops oc- cupied positions on the southern shore of Khumcza bay, at Talienwan, at Napkuenling station, at Dalny and on all the bays. The enemy's squadron blockaded the entire coast and fired heavily sometimes upon one bay, some times upon another.
 There was heavy bombardment nf Port Arthur on the night of May IS, in which one soldier was killed and fouI were wounded. The Japanese at tempted to land at Kerr bay. but were repulsed May 14, losing one cruiser which was sunk.
 The Japanese columns began to ad- vance southward on May 18th by two routes. marching from Sanshilipu north of Kin Chou and Kotsialn. Mov- ing as they did in close order. they sui fered severely from our artillery fire The Kotsialin column also came under our infantry fire, which inflicted heavy losses.
 As the enemy's advance developed we perceived that they had six bat teries of artillery and twenty foul hattalions. In view of the eneny's superiority our attachments began tc retire. General Stoessel speaks in the highest praise of the officers and men participating.

At this hearing the attorneys for the strikers sought to have the court modify the clause of the injunoIfion restraining the strikers from discussing the issues in the contest, with the non-union men, on the com pany's property, or seeking 10 per suade them to join the union. This modification, the court refused 10 grant.
 The language of the injunction is In substance: That the striking em, ployes are forbidden to talk to non. union employees of the Santa Fe about the questions at issue in the strike while on the property of the company

As near as can be estimated tonight, twenty are dead and a score or mo Q injured as a result of the events lead ing up to the condition above described. Beginning with this morning when an internal machine, set under ths stat on platform at FindlGy on the line of the Florence S Cripple Creek railroad. was touched off and eleven non-union men. waiting for the train. were sent into eternity and others horribly mangled. events followed thick and fast.
 They culmiHated in a mass meeting. where bullets flew, and at least one was killed ana a number Of others were injured. Later. as a company of mill tary was marching past union head quarters, pursuing their search for un- ion miners, they were fired upon. ac- cording to report, by armed men In Un- lon hall. The soldiers stormed tn. building and from all accounts at least seven unionists were shot dead in their tracks. The remainder fled precipitate- ly. blood streaming from the wounds o- the injured. The soldiers. who We. @ unhUrt, pursued and arrested a num- Der of the fleeing men and continued far into the night to SCOUT the country in search of men supposed to hove been in Union hall at the time of the as sault.
 At headquarters Adjutant General
 Bell of this city has everything iu
 readiness to promptly meet the call for
 additional troops in the gold camp. IL
 is understood that the railroads have been instructed to have engines and cars at command and a quick run to Cripple Creek would follow an appeal for more soldiers.
 However, from the tone of com
 municatiCn received from Sheriff Bell | the newly appointed official of Teller
 county, he will only ask for further aid | from the military as a last resort. He 1 intimates that he can control the sit
 uation unless a general clash Of op- | posing interests occurs. | TOdays outburst had its inception in | the strike of the members of the Wes- tern Federation of Miners something over a year ago when 4.0OO quit work
 for the purpose. primarily of enforcing
 the eight hour day. This action SO i'm 1 censed the mine owners that they de-
 clared war on unionism and the breach
 has grown wider with the passage Of l time. Considerable lawlessness has
 prevailed in the strike-ridden districts | and unionists have been brought 10 | trial on numerous charges. They were 1 invariably acquitted, however.

STORY OF A BATTLE.
Russian Report of Japanase Defeat on
 May 30.

St. Petersburg, June 6.--General EurOpatkin telegraphs under date of June as follows: Fuller reports give particulars of the affair near Wafankau station on May 30. A de- tachment of Russian cavalry, consisting of dragoons. Cossacks and mounted chasseurs with battery, on their way from Vanzlan, were informed that two companies of the front guard were en- gagged with the enemy at a position near the village of Yendztatun. A por- tion of our cavalry advanced toward WafankaU. while two sQuadrons of dragons were sent to support the frontier guards and one company of chasseurs was sent to protect and re- connoite1 on our right flank in the valley of Flu Chau. After accomplish ing this mission the chasseurs and company of Cossacks formed the right flank of our position.
 Toward 1 o'clock the enemy began to debouch in considerable force from Lutsiatun with the object of attacking our advance line. Two companies of Siberian Cossacks crossed the railway in front of the cavalry and attacked a squadron of Japanese advance guard almost entirely destroying it in hand to hand fight. They afterward en- Countered a squadron of Japanese in- fantry. Two squadrons of our cavalry and battery of machine guns were hurried up and then. retiring drew after them a second squadron of Jap | anSse cavalry. This squadron followed until it came in contact with the de- tachment of chasseurs, who succeeded in firing eight volleys at a fixed range | into the squadron, which then fell back i having suffered considerable loss.
 ! While retreating to the left the Jap | anese squadron came under the fire oi a company of frontier guards which [ had advanced and the squadron retired m disorder. Our dragons came up al i this moment. but owing to the topo- i rra phical condition they could not par -ticipate as part of our front. but fired
 on the enemy from the heights nortf
 of Lutsiatun.
 Discovering our endeavOrs to tUI1
 their left, the Japanese retired to q
 second position. Our battery got inc l position and opened a successful tirC

Denver. June 6.-At today's session of the Western Federation of Miners convention a committee consisting or c. c. Mitchell, South Dakota; C. Ma honey, Montana and Harry L. Lane. Nevada, was appointed to go 10 Cripple Creek and make a thorough investiga- tion of the dynamite outrage and spare no one in its report. The committee sent to Cripple Creek last week tO re- port on the conditions there submitted a report today. The report says that on some properties nearly as many men were employed as before the strike. The mine owners admit. how ever. that they are not getting any thing like the returns they did before the strike. The miners are determined to stand firm and the committee could suggest no change in the policy. which has been pursued.
 Salt Lake was chosen for the place of the next convention to be held and Denver was selected as the permanent headquarters of the federation.

 the Colorado Strike
WHOLESALE DYNAMITING
Eleven Non-Union Miners Assassina- ted by Use Of an Internal Machine. It Is Followed by the Death of as Many More Men in Riots.

Cripple Creek, Colo, June 6.-Three hundred pounds of dynamite placed by unknown assassins at Independence Station on the F'lorence&Cripple Creek railroad, exploded at 2:26 this morning while non- union miners employed in the Findley mine were standing on the platform, instantly killed eleven of them, injuring eight or ten more. The mine was discharged by a man con cealed in the shaft house of the Del monico mine.
 The sheriff found the machine which set off the dynamite. It consisted of a revolver and 300 feet of steel wire. The revolver was placed underneath the platform close to the powder. The meE on the platform had just finished work in the Findley mine, and were pre- pariug to take the train to their homes. There were about sixty men on the platform at the time of the explosion.

Kuropatkin is subjected to considerable pressure to help relieve the tension at Port Arthur. but the present trip may be for the purpose of personally examing the situation.

Kin Chou on the morning of May 18th and isolated bodies of the enemy began to appear on the mountains. May IS two companies of Japanese infantry attacked 100 of our Cossacks on the western slope of Mount Sampson, but were repulsed.
 Our intelligence showed that the whole Japanese army north of San Shi- lipu was, composed of 6O,OOO infantry and 1,500 cavalry.
 "Our losses between May 15-21 were ten officers and J75 men.
 The Japanese word and phrase books found upon Japanese prisoners showed that these troops had evidently been long destined for opera tions against Port Arthur as the books were specially adapted to use in and about Port Arthur and Dalny."
