WILL FALL BACK TO HARDIN.
Russian Staff Gives Insight Into the
Plans Of Kuropatkin,


St. Petersburg, May 2O.-Confirm-
ing the intimations that it is General
Kuropatkin's purpose to avoid de-
cisive combat with the japanese at the
present stage of the war, the statement
was made by the general staff today
that the commander in chief is max
ing preparations to fall back on Muk-
den, and then to Harbin.
While the superior numbers of the
enemy compel retirement, it does
not follow that General Kuropatkin
will not strike stinging blow should
strategical mistake be made which
will enable him to throw stronger
army upon one OF the advancing col
umns of his antagonists. The most
exposed portion of General Kuriko's
command is that which is moving di-
rectly northward, evidently with the
intention of gaining the road to Muk-
den, down which it will march as
soon as the other columns are within
supporting distance. Unless caution,
heretofore the conspicuous feature of
the Japanese campaign, is observed,
this column, it is believed here, will
fall the victim to its temerity, as Gen
eraI Kuropatkin is known to be hold
ing it especially under close sur
veillance.
Kuropatkin's decision to Withdraw
from Lao Yam can only mean, accord :
ing to the experts, that there will con-
tinue to be affairs of outposts, unless
another General Zassalitch should de-
velop. The general staff confirms the
announcement of the abandonment-ef

COLORADO FLOOD
HEAVY RAINS CAUSE STREAM TO
OVERFLOW BANKS.
Came In Night and People Were Unable
to Escape-Loss of Life May Be Large
Crops Have Suffered dreatIy-Much
Stock L. Reported to Have Been
Swept Away.

Denver, May ga cloudburst at
the head of the Cache la Poudre river
caused that stream to overflow its
banks. and meager reports received
here indicate that great damage has
been caused by the flood and several
lives lost. The rush of the food caused
the dam which holds the water of Liv-
ingston lake, IS miles above Fort Col
lins, to break, and this added volumes
of water to the flood which swept
down the Cache la Poudre.
At Fort Collins the river is now over
mile wide and already a number of
the frame dwellings of the residents of
the Russian colony of 900 have been
swept from their foundations. About
one-half of the people succeeded in get
ting out of their houses before the food
was upon them. The remainder, how
ever. are tonight in perilous position.
Their houses can plainly be seen float
ing about among the trees, and shouts
and other signals of distress seen and
heard. A few of the houses have en-
tered the current of the stream and
been swept down the river, and per-
haps shattered or sunk and their occu-
pants drowned.
1t is definitely known that two lives
have been lost. Rescue parties are in
readiness to leave Fort Collins with the
first break of day. The floods in the
Cache la Poudre and other streams are
due to heavy rains.
The Cache la Poudre river runs
through one of the most thickly set
tied and richest agricultural districts
of Colorado. A large portion of the
northern part of the state is irrigated
from this stream and a number of i'm
mense reservoirs have been constructed
for the purpose of storing the water.
Should the force of the waters rush
weaken these sufficiently to cause a
break and release the stored water, the
result could be nothing but disastrous.

RUSH WAS TO oHr BALLOON.
.sAmmunition Train'' to Port Arthur One
In Name Only.

"Ammunition Train'' to Port Arthur One
In Name Only.
st. Petersburg, May 21.-One -oi
the reasons for the desperate effort OF
the Russians to get to Port Arthur
what is. officially called an 'sammuni-
ton train," has been revealed by in
formation which leaked out today.
There was little need, it appears, for
more ammunition, great quantities
being stored in the fortress, but Cen
eral Stoessel was exceedingly anxious
to be provided with balloons. The
highest point of the fortress is the
Eagles Nest, from which much of the
country can be seen, but
balloons will facilitate observation.
Before the war the Russian authorities
loaded on a vessel complete balloon
equipment for Manchuria, but it was
captured by the Japanese, who will use
it perhaps in their operations against
Port Arthur. Recognizing the need OF
General Stoessel with alEthe
requisite instruments with which to
conduct the defense of Port Arthur,
General Kuropatkin is believed to have
sent balloons on the ammunition
train.' The Russian balloons are sta
tionary.
eff the Japanese try to drift balloons
over Port Arthur and drop explosives
on the fortress" an officer said today,
"the world will hear Of the first battle
in the air.
Communication from Port Arthur is
now conducted by Chinese messengers.

of the Petropavlovsk.
st. Petersburg, May 20.-The ad-
miralty is now convinced by mail re-
ports received from Port Arthur that
Vice Admiral Togo used submarine
boats in his operations. A letter from
Lieutenant General Stoessel says he
was standing on Golden Hill when the
Russian battleship Petropavlovsk went
down and he saw a submarine boat
torpedo the battleship. Lieutenant
Schreiber claims he distinctly saw the
periscope of q submarine boat and
could trace the course of the vessel.
Officers of the Russian battleship Pobi-
eda testified that submarine boat dis
charged torpedo against their ship
and they fred at the submarine boat,
hoping to sink it, but failed. -
1t is officially denied that Viceroy
Alexeiff has gone to Lao Yang to as
sumo command of 5000 troops there,
and that General Kuropatkin has left
Lao Yang for Harbin. 1t is said that
Kuropatkin is either at Lao Yang OF
in its vicinity.

London, May 23.-The Standards g

while the Japanese fleet was covering
the landing of troops near Kalchau, on
Monday, fierce engagement occurred
at Hsien Yen Cheng. Two thousand
Russians were killed or wounded.
The Russians retreated and the Japan

Nothing known of Evacuation.

St. Petersburg, May 23.-The ad-

iy advised of the japanese occupation
OF Niu Chwang. Instructions were is
sued to blow up the Sivouch, the Rus
sian gunboat there, before the last Rus
sian retired. As soon as this is ac-
complished the Russian commander
will report to the authorities here. The
fact that nothing has been received con-
vinces the admiralty that small Rus
sian force is still at Niu Chwang.

japanese Close to Russians ut Mukden
and Great Battle Imminent.
London, May 19.-No further news
has reached London throwing light
upon the appearance of japanese troops
northeast of Mukden, or Indicating BY
what route they reached that point SO
Unexpectedly. The japanese are so
successful in hiding their movements
that it is only possible to guess at them
from the vague indications IN Russian
official dispatches.
According to the Standards Tien
Tsin correspondent, General Kuropat-
kin has left for Harbin; Viceroy Alex
Jeff still being at Lao Yang with 2O,-
600 troops.
It is noticeable that Russian official
dispatches seldom name the place
whence they were sent.
A question greatly discussed in the
London papers this morning is whether
General Kuropatkin has succeeded in
ascertaining that the Japanese are
threatening his rear so near the Muk-
den line, and has been enabled to be-
gin a retreat, or whether he has
elected to fight. In any case, it is
considered that any day may bring
news Of great battle in this district,
as the transport difficulties are be-
lieved to be SO great as to make it al
m ost impossible for General Kuropat-
kin to effect a rapid retirement.
Indefinite reports continue to reach
London of Japanese bombardment of
Port Arthur and Dalny.
The Standards Odessa correspon-
dent confirms the report tLat General
Kuropatkin's aggregate forces for the
pending battle do not exceed 100, 900
men.

Oppose Japanese Advance.

Berlin, May 19.-Colonel Gadke,
the German military expert, who is
accompanying the Russian army in the
field in the dual capacity of military
expert and correspondent, telegraphing
from Mukden, states that the japanese
advance against Lao Yang is being
conducted in two lines, which parallel
the railway between Niu Chwang and
Lao Yang. The japanese right, he
declares, is moving with extreme eau
tion, while the left wing is advancing
much more rapidly in an attempt to
outfank the Russian position.

The Interfering Husband.

The Interfering Husband.
I would like to say a word or two
about the husband who goes beyond
his sphere; many married women will
know him but too well; he may be
called ''The Interfering Husband" the
one who will poke his nose into house
way concern him.
He is kind Of general walking en-
cyclopedia on all matters connected
with homework; he thinks nothing of
insuucting his wife as to how she
should perform her duties. and, alas, he
frequently goes the length of lectur-
ing the general" on the most trivial
points Of housewifery. No true wife
cares for husband going about the
kitchen; in fact, it is kind Of happy
hunting ground for the interfering hus-
band.
He drops in on an afternoon-why
on earth Is the floor not scrubbed YETI
He demands an explanation, and is
told that the 'Missus" said it wasn't
to be scrubbed this day.
This won't do for the interfering
and informs her that the kitchen looks
like an old clothes shop; can she not
keep his house in a cleanly state2 Is
he to pay for servant standing about
doing nothing, when she might be we'll
| employed scrubbing floors, and so he
goes on.
Such a man is more than a nuisance;
he is an fnf1iction, and the household
over which he presides is rarely hap
py one; 1t cannot be, when the man
goes on like this.
But the same individual won't only
meddle with household affairs; he will
also dictate concerning the children
and this no true mother will tolerate.
Suppose the month Of May comes in,
and is raw and cold-have the children
stopped wearing their winter fannels?
(! No Well, they must do 50 at once
SO orders the interfering husband,
needless Of the fact that the mother
ought to be the best judge as to when
| the children should put of Or on GER
tain articles Of clothing; and thus he
dictates, always interfering with the
wife's duties.
Naturally, trouble is ever to the fore;
1t could not be otherwise. Suppose
such a man gives his wife certain
sum monthly as a private allowance;
why, it isn't private at all; she really
has to account for every penny spent,
and a woman Of spirit will not meek
ly stand this sort of thing long-open
rupture almost follows as matter of
course wonder If the interfering
man is aware Of the fact that he Is
known all over the neighborhood as
such? If there happens to be serv-
ant in the house it won't be kept dark;
all these little peculiarities will be dis
cussed with MARY" next door. and
Mary, If she happens to be on free
terms with her mistress, will not hest
tate to speak Of ''that man" up the
street, mentioning few facts concern
ing him. Her mistress will, If she be
of the average female type, most GER
tainly hint to some Of the ladies of the
neighborhood about Mr.. So-and-So, and
his goings on, and thus his name is
banded about till he is well known in
his real colors half a dozen streets
away.-New York American.
