President Will Not Interfere.

President Roosevelt is being urged
by officers of the Western Federation

OF affairs in the Cripple Greek district
AT least twice heretofore within the
last six months the president has been
requested to interfere in the Colorado
affairs, but declined after mature con-
sideration because he had no legal

ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE oALLows.
Condemned Men in Ohio Penitentiary
Wake Desperate Attempt TO Escape.

An attempt was made by four of
the nine condemned men at the Ohio
state penitentiary to escape by over
powering the guard The guard was
badly beaten, but two guards from
the hall came to his assistance and
the prisoners were forced back into
their cells and locked up.
Guard Richards Of Williams coun-
ty was in charge of the prisoners. He
was unarmed, no weapons being al
lowed in the annex The prisoners
beat him down with their fists and Sc
cured the key to the cage in the an

outer door. Guard Richards made
such an outcry that two guards in an
adjoining hall were attracted and
came to his rescue. The prisoners
were oyerpowered and locked up in
their cells.

ANOTHER BATTLE RAGING.
Russians Report That Brown Men
Are Defeated in Attack.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg. I'M
der date of June IA, says: Emperor
Nicholas has received the following
telegram from Lieutenant General
Baron Stakelberg bearing today's
date;
"a battle began at noon around the
Russian position four and half miles
south of the station of Wafanhoon
the enemy making repeated attempts
to dislodge our left flank The attack
was repealed and we retained our po-
sition
"The first regiment, occupying the
left flank of our position, sustained Sc
we're losses. It's commander, Colonel
Khavastounoff. and Adiutant SUBJ
Lieutenant Dragoslaff NodochinslSy
were killed. General Gernross was
wounded. shrapnel bullet shatter-
ing the right side of his lower jaw,
but he remained on the field"

BRAVE DOCTORS.
Would Not Leave Wounded Men, Al
though Under Heavy Fire.

Ensign Mario who has returned to
Lao Yang from the battle of Saimat-
"a. fought on June Z. says that the
Japanese lost about 800 men. He
speaks IN the highest terms Of the
work of the Red Cross doctors, Poosen
and Bentesh. who attended the wound
ed under fire. When the order came
to retire these doctors refused to leave
the bandaging station until the last of
the wounded had been brought out
and attended to. After the battle a
wounded Russian was found with his
tongue cut out and his fingers severed.
There is a general disinclination to
attribute this mutilation to the Japan
ese after the kindness which they had
previously shown to the Russian
wounded, and it is thought to be more
probable that it was the work OF Chi
nese bandits.

MORE SHIPS FOR RUSSIA.
Original Naval Programme Will Be
Carried Out.

A conference was held in ST. Peters
burg Saturday. between the emperor,
Grand Duke Alexis, the Russian high
admiral and Vice Admiral Avelin,
chief of the admiralty. at which it
was decided to cary out without
change the naval programme provis-
ionally adopted before the war The
programme covers a decade The ships
will be divided between the Black sea
and the Baltic fleets, and no provision
is made for the Pacific fleet. The con-
struction of the new vessels will be-
gin at once The ships will be built
in Russia. though France may pos
sibly get a contract. The proportion
of battleships and cruisers win be
practically the same as proposed by
the general board at Washington for

FIGHTS AT oUTPosTs.
Encounters in Which Man or Two Is
Killed Each Day.


According to information from Cen
eral Kurokis headquarters in the
field, the only hostilities now occur
ring at the front are daily encounters
between outposts, resulting in the
death of a man or two every day. A
few Russian prisoners are being
brought into Sepanese headquarters,
but no japanese are being captured.
This is taken to show that the Japan
csc are getting the best of the encoun-
ters.
Chinese are giving trouble by cut
ting the telegraph wires nightly; they
probably are in the pay of the Rus
SLAMS.
The work of keeping General Kur-
oki's army In supplies of all kinds
continues to be performed with ex-
cellent results. and is beyond criti-
cism. The conduct of the Japanese
soldiers is irreproachable and their
spirits are high.

of Citizens Alliance.
The executive board Of the Western
Federation of Miners has issued a
statement regarding the situation in
Cripple Creek in reply to the state
meuts made by General Sherman M.
Bell and Secretary C. c. Hamlin OF
the Cripple Creek Nine Owners asso-
citation. The statement is made that
~the responsibility for the lawless-
ness connected with the contest rests
entirely on the shoulders of the mine
operators. The Citizens Alliance and
their allies. backed up by the ready
power of the state government"
Concerning the explosion which
WRECKED the depot at Independence
and killed sixteen unfortunate nom
union miners, it need only be said
that the self-confessed train wrecker.
Mckinney, in the employ of the Mine
Owners association, had few days
previous been released from custody
at the behest Of the attorney for the
association and that this same McKin-
ney was observed going down Potts
canyon in the immediate vicinity OF
the wreckage only short time after
the disaster, and that the bloodhound
used to follow the trail of the criminal
went directly to a house occupied by
a detective in the employ of the Mine
Owners association, and was prompt
" called off. Mckinney stated I'M
der cross-examination during the trial
of the union miners who were accused
Of the attempted train wrecking that
he and other detectives did, that for
a money consideration, he would pull
spikes and wreck a train" The state
ment is made that the photographs of
masked miners referred to by General
Bell. were those of strike breakers.
and were kept for the purpose OF
publishing a scab list with the pic
lures of the men accompanying their
description. so that members of organ
zed labor all over the country would
become thoroughly acquainted with

classes"

courts for some months and several
weeks ago the case against Mckinney
was nolied in the courts at Cripple

meant to kill his wife and her com

PORT ARTHUR DOOMED.
Japs, Heavily Reinforced, Will Soon
Make Final Attack.

Reports from Chinese sources are
to the effect that the Japanese forces
near Port Arthur have been heavily
reinforced. 1t is believed that an at
tempt to take the fortress by assault
will be made so soon as the Japanese
are strong enough to invest it on the
land side and at the same time pro
tect themselves from a possible attack
in the rear in case the Russians sent
a force from the north.
There are persistent reports again
that the Port Arthur squadron has
succeeded in making sortie, but no
official confirmation of the report is
obtainable

RUSSIANS MYSTIFlED.
Japanese May Be Feintlng or May Be
In Earnest.

The Japanese advance of columns
north and south of Feng Wang
Cheng is causing considerable mysti-
fication to the Russians. The pre-
ponderance of military opinions still
inclines to the belief that the move
ments in both directions are feints,
although the opinion that General
KurolSi has begun a serious advance
by both tanks against Lao Yang
does not lack supporters. Renewed
skirmishing is reported in the neigh
borhood of Stu Yen.
