Japanese Army Is Advancing

Heavy Firing and a Tremendous EN-
Ploslon Heard on Saturday, but Not

Chefu, June GA japanese CORE.
spondent from Dalny confirms the re.
ported advance of the Japanese army
on Port Arthur, news of which was
brought here today by the Chinese.
The correspondent states, however,
that there are fifteen miles between
the Japanese and Por. Arthur instead
Of seven, as reported by the Chinese.
The japanese army is advancing
along both coasts. 1t is reported that
the peninsular division on the east
coast fought a battle within fifteen
miles Of Port Arthur June 3. The re-
suit of the battle has not yet been
learned.
A junk which lay off Port Arthur
June 4 because Of lack of wind heard
desultory firing on the morning Of the
4th and saw Eve japanese torpedo de-
stroyers as they disappeared below the
horizon. Afterward a tremendous ex-
plosion was heard, and 1t was thought
by those on the junk that possibly one
of the destroyers had stuck a mine.
On the night of June 3 immense col
umns of flame and smoke were seen
from the junk in the direction Of Dal-
ny.
The Japanese army, re-enforced by
the men who landed at Dalny, occu-
pied Twingching and also Sanchimpo,
several miles west Of Dalny. They
then proceeded along the coast toward
Port Arthur. On one side of the army
are high mountains, and on the other
side is the sea, from which the Japa-
nese gunboats are supporting the flank
of the army.

RUSSIANS DEPRESSED.
Fall Of Port Arthur Likely 70 Cause Sc
rious Trouble.

rious Trouble.
London, June 6.-That the curtain is
drawn again over the progress Of the
war probably indicates that important
events are impending or afoot. The ex-
plOsions heard at Port Arthur suggest
that the Russians have renewed their
attempts TO remove Instructions in the
mouth of the harbor All kinds Of ru-
mors are current few of which appear
TO have any reliable basis.
Various special correspondents in st.
Petersburg report increasing depres-
sion in Russia over the prospect Of the
fall of Port Arthur and that wild re
ports are in circulation over dissen-
sions between the generals and the
highest officials over questions of pol
icy and strategy. The Daily Mail gives
great prominence TO a statement from
a Russian correspondent" declaring
that Russia will stand or fall by Port
Arthur as far as the governments
prestige with the lower classes is con-
cerned.
internal troubles are inevitable"
the correspondent says, should the
fortress fall. Count Lamsdorff dis
plays a strong personality, but his po-
sition is precarious, and he is likely to
be sacrificed as a scapegoat TO popular
indignation Mt the way the war has
been conducted. Although it is said
that General Kuropatkin has lost IA
vor at court. no change in the COM
membership Of the army is contem-
plated"
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF
Reuters Telegram agency says that in
creasing anxiety is felt over the rest
lessness Of Chinese troops on the Man
churian frontier. The Morning Posts
3 correspondent in ST. Petersburg goes
so far as to say that Russia is prepar-
ing to cope with a serious Chinese in
vasion.
A dispatch to the Standard from st.
Petersburg asserts that no prepara-
tions whatever have been made TO or
ganize q transport service down the
great waterways of the Sungari and
Amur rivers. Great indignation is felt
over the discovery that several wealthy
Russian firms secretly assisted in the
recent japanese loan"
The Morning Post Is telegraphed
from Shanghai that some of the war
ships at Port Arthur have been
heached and their guns removed to the
land works. This Shanghai corre-
Gponasnt also says that Field Marshal
Yamagata has been appointed viceroy
of the territories Japan has occupied
since the war began. This is the only

Peoria, H., June 6--Instead Of nine
dead, as first reported, It is now known

bodies have been recovered from the
ruins.
The cause Of the explosion cR1not

The widest excitement prevailed aft
er the explosion. The immense plant
was surrounded by thousands of peo-
pie, who, however, were unable to get
close to the structure on account Of
the intense heat.
The warehouse, containing in the
neighborhood of 10000 barrels Of whis-

Their distress lasted but a few mo-
