DISASTROUS FIRE
IN NEW YORK CITY
Fourteen Persons Killed and Nearly
a Score Injured.
CAUSED BY LAMP EXPLOSION
When the Firemen Reached the
Scene, the Tenants of the Build
ing Were Jumping From the
Windows and Fire Escapes.

New York, Sept. Fourteen per-
sons were killed and nearly a score in
jured in a fire in a five-story double
tenement in Attorney street, at an
early hour Sunday morning. 1t was
one Of the worst fires in the loss of hui
man lives that has occurred on the
east side in several years, although the
property loss was slight.
The dead include four women. one
man and nine children, ranging in age
from three months to IL years.
Many of the injured were taken to
hospitals, and it is thought that sew
eral of these will die. Among the in
jured were five firemen, who were on
a fourth floor balcony when it fell with
them.
Men Asleep on the Roof.
The small number of men among
the killed and injured was due to the
fact that most of the men who lived
in the building, following the Attorney
street custom in hot weather, were
asleep on the roof, while but few of the
women and children were there. Those
on the roof were unable 10 escape by
descending through the burning build
ing, and made their way to safety over
~neighboring roofs. Meanwhile the
members of their families who had re-
NAMED in their rooms found escape cut
off, and panic reigned throughout the
structure.
The fire started about three O'Clock
in the morning, and there was consid-
cradle delay in sending in an alarm,
although the district is one of the
most thickly populated in the crowded
East Side of New York. When the fire.
men reached the scene, some Of the
tenants were jumping from the win
dows and from the ends of fire escapes
that reached only to the second floor;
Others were crouching in the smoke in

aused By Lamp Explosion.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by the explosion of a lamp
that had been left to light the hall on
the second floor, and the sleeping ten
ants were not aroused until the hall
way was ablaze, and escape through
the building was cut off.
The fire was soon extinguished, and
the search for the dead began.
Most of the dead were found on the
two upper floors.
While the search of the building was
going on, four firemen were at work on
a fourth floor balcony, when it gave
way. Another firemen on the balcony
on the floor below was also carried
down, and was probably fatally in
iured. The other four were badly hurt,
but will recover. Two of them fell
upon a pile of bedding in the court
yard, and their injuries were caused
chiefly by the iron work of the balcony
falling upon them.

PRESSING ATTACK
ON KUR0PATK|N
Fate of Russian Army Now Rests
Upon Left Wing.
LAO YANG REPORTED ON FIRE
Russian General is Failing Back
Upon Mukden, and st. Peters,
burg Believes He VIII FL
nalIy BE Successful.

The lack of definite information
from the seat of war continues up to
Saturday morning, and nothing further
regarding the situation at Lao Yang
is known beyond the fact that Kuro-
patkin has withdrawn the main por-
ton Of his forces to the north or right
bank Of the Taitse river, and that, ac-
cording to the latest advices, the &C
ton is still in progress.
There is Discrimination in st. Peters
burg to believe that Lao Yang has
been abandoned, and at the same time
1t is declared that the position Kuro-
patkir now occupies is the n he had
prepared and fortified, and where he
has all along planned to make his sec
ond stand, instead Of directly in and
around Lao Yang, with the river at
his back, as had been believed. 1t is
thought by Russian experts that in at
lacking Kuropatkin's present defenses
the Japanese are facing an almost i'm
possible task, especially with their
FORCES divided by the river.
Advices reaching Toxic say that the
Taitse is flooded and can not be ford
ed, and therefore the river itself be-
comes an important factor in the gen.
eral scheme of Russian defense.
Dispatches from both Russian and
Japanese sources indicate that the
troops on both sides are jaded and
weary after the many days fighting,
and 1t is pointed out that in conse-
quence, a temporary lull in the active
struggle would not be surprising.
A dispatch received at Toxic says
that great fires are raging at Lao
Yang, believed to result from jap
anese Smelling or from the efforts Of
the Russians to destroy their stores,
preparatory to the evacuation of
Lao Yang, with the additional hope
of injuring the city as a future Jap
anese base"
The opinion prevails in Toxic that
the Russian casualties in the recent
fighting will reach 10000, while the
Russian losses of August 81 and Sep
TENDER 1 are given in official reports
as 5000 killed or wounded.
The report from Marshal Oyama
that he was engaged on Thursday
with the Russian center would indi-
cate tsat at least a portion of Kuro-
patkin's army was still on the south
bank of the Taitse river.
1t is not yet definitely announced
that the Japanese have occupied Lao
Yang.

STILL HAVE CONFIDENCE,
Russians Still Believe Gen. Kuropat.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 3.-The text
Of the dispatch sent to the ear by
Gen. Kuropatkin, Thursday evening,
the gist of which was given out by the
war office, was not made public Fri.
day night as expected. 1t was prom.
ised to the local press, and was await.
ed with ~feverish impotence until two
o'clock Saturday morning, when it
was announced that it would be issued
SATURDAY. All the news, therefore, as
far as st. Petersburg is concerned, is
contained in kilograms from foreign
sources, and there is painful suspense
awaiting news from Russian sources.
Continued and logged confidence
in Gen. K%uropatkin is expressed in
many quarters, and the public gener.
ally, as well as many of the military
authorities, absolutely refuse to be.
iieve that Lao Yang has been aban.
doned, or If 1t has been abandoned,
that Gen. Kuropatkin is not in a better
position to make a strong stand north
Of the Taitse river.

There were two Russian tourists In
Kioto last June who drove away from
the hotel each morning in a small VIC
t0ria that seemed about to break with
the weight of their great, bony frames.
One was Gen. Wogack, long in Japan
as military attache of the Russian le-
cation; the other Gen. Kuropatkin, the
Russian minister of war, who had come
out to the last to inspect the defenses
Of Dalny and Port Arthur, and see that
all vas ready in Manchuria. With an
air Of eondescension and contempt, he
was looking over Japan to see how
easy it would be to do as they pleased
with the amusing little country-how
easily he, the strong, grown man,
could whip the people he calls monk
eys."
The sneering air of the future con-
lueror and proprietor was unmistaka-
BILE, and when it was learned who the
two raw-boned, diversified tourists
were the face of the butcher of Cock
Tepe had a fascination for me. Never
did any n mans look better match
his reputation for cruelty, brutality,
Implying bloodthirstiness. 1t was
easy to believe all that was recorded of
him in connection with that Turcoman
campaign, and to see that in his minds
eye such another blood feast was be-
ing pictured, with Japan for the locale,
The butcher of SO many thousands,
the bayoneter of women and children,
and babes, has the heavy face, the
slow, sleepy expression Of the cruel
voluptuary. There was something of
the slow creep of a beast of prey, the
licking Of the chops of the tiger who
has tasted and will again taste blood,
and Kuropatkin's whole scornful prog
ress about Kioto for those few days
was a constant irritation to myself and
others in the hotel.-Eliza Skldmore's
Toxic Letter.
