HOT TIME IN GAMING HE'LL.
With Dynamite Banging Beneath and
Thieves Stealing Within.

Houston, Tex, June 27.-Thieves to-
night worked a successful scheme for
the robbery of q gambling house.
About 9 o'clock dynamite was exploded
under a poker table and the crowd of

exit. A second explosion followed and
the crowd was frantic. During the
excitement some one grabbed the bank
roll at the faro table, getting between
$1,000 and 1900 out of the drawer.
Men had been stationed at each of the

one was hurt though the poker table
was wrecked and the rim of the deal

Kuropatkin to Seek Cooler Quarters

St Petersburg, June 2S.-7:10 p. m.
The Associated Press is informed on

kin has decided to withdraw north

the advantage of being nearer their
base of supplies and places the Japa-

longer lines of communication. 1t
is pointed out that Kuropatkin no
longer prevents a junction of the enc
my'S forces by remaining at Ta Tche
Kiao as he might thereby imperil the
safety of his own troops, as the deS-
perate character of the fighting at Ia

full of rumors, chiefly based on for

Admiral Without in,-command of the

ceives the most credence. Without is
known to have full authority to leave

THREE PASSES FORCED
The Japanese are Now Turning the
Left Flank of the Russians at Lao
Yang and Threatening the Railroad
Connecting This Place With Muk-
den.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PreSS.)
st. Petersburg. June 2S.-The Em-
peror has received the following dis
patch from General kuropatkin.
dated Liao Yang, June 81:
''The Japanese attacked our forces,
occupying Molten, Fen-Shmui and
Ia passes June &c. Our infantry and
cavalry retreated, persued by the ad-
vancing divisions of the Japanese
army, which were operating against
each of the tsree passes and We're
stronger than our detachments. In
the attack on Tia pass the Japanese
Guards, besides other regiments, par
ticipated. The Japanese made a
frontal and flank attack in consider
able force on both sides of this posi-
ton. The Japanese troops occupied
Fen-Shui and Molten passes during
the morning Of June 27.
Our forces which retreated from
Fen-Shui pass were attacked by small
detachments of Japanese. They were,
however, easily repulsed.
After pushing back our advance
guard during the evening of June rs
from Vandiapudze Con the Aiu- Yen
Hal road) to Ia pass, the Japanese
continued their advance this morning
against our position in a defile. For
some time the attack of the Japanese
brigade was repealed. Three batal-
lions were engaged in the frontal at
tack. But being menaced by other
troops engaged in a flanking move
ment our forces retreated.
Accommodating parties report
that one portion of the southern
Japanese army is moving northeast
ward with the intention of joining
General Kuroki's force.
"At noon today our cavalry was
hotly engaged near Seu-YuChen.
''All the reports of the last few
days state that the forces of japanese
arrayed against our Manchurian
army consist of eight or nine infan-
try divisions and several brigades of
Reserves, which also occupy positions
i'm the fighting line"
Molten pass and Fen-Shui pass
are about due east of Lao Yang. Ia
pass is midway between and north of
Molten and Fen-Shui passes and is
between Lao Yang and Mukden and
about seventy-five miles from the
railroad connecting Liao Yang and
Mukden. 1t will thus be seen that
the Japanese forces which have oc-
cupied the passes mentioned are turn
ing the left flank of the Russian posi-
ton at ,LiaO Yang and threatening
the railroad connecting Lao Yang
and Mukden.
