tions have been made for landing troops
and advancing them through the country
and pontoon bridges and stables are built
wherever they are found necessary. The
greatest difficulty facing the Japanese is
the commissariat. owing to the poor
food supplies of Korea ii is only possible at
present 10 maintain $1,000 men.
The Japanese hold two enormously strong
positions at Ping Yang and on the Miokak-
San range, between Hwang-Ju and Seoul.
The latter the correspondent says is prob
ably impregnabe and secures Seoul from
land attacks from the northwest In the
event of defeat IL is intended 10 hold the
passes at Kazan, thus protecting the Ping
Yang valley.
The Japanese troops are suffering from
dysentery and pneumonia and many of the
cavalry horses, which the correspondent
says are poor, have died, but the army Is
full of spirit.
There probably are 10000 Japanese at
Ping Yang, which, the correspondent points
out might easily have been taken when the
Russian scouts first arrived. there being
then only $50 Japanese soldiers.
The Russians intended TO make AnJu
their base. but owing 10 the delay In the
arrival of reinforcements. they We're afraid
they would be cut of and so retired. Mean
while the Japanese advanced TO Ping Yang
by forced marches. the troops being almost
without equipment.
According 10 this correspondent the Rus
slams are preparing to prevent the Japa-
nese landing at Pak-Chon, twenty miles
west of Anju, and he says the Japanese
sailors admit that Port Arthur is so pro-
tected by mines and torpedoes that II would
mean death to approach IL.

Flames Sweeping Away Houses,
Barns and Other Farm Build
ings in Nebraska.
AT LEAST ONE LIFE LOST

HOLDREGE, Neb.. March pa terrific
prairie fire. driven by a gale of wind. is
raging along the line of the Burlington
Railroad between here and Atlanta, a dis
tance of seven miles. A farmer named
August Olsen was burned to death and two
other persons who are missing believed
to have lost their lives in the flames.
The Burlington road sent special train to
Loomis, seven miles northwest of here, this
evening to prevent the fire ravaging the
town. A strip three miles wide and ten
miles long has already been burned over,
and a large number of farm houses, barns
and other buildings and great amount of
live stock has been destroyed. Charles Pet
erson and Wallace Johns lost their resi-
dences and several farmers were entirely
burned out.
A terrific wind carried the flames across
the country at a terrific speed. and all ef-
forts to stop their progress have thus far
proved futile. The farmers and citizens
from the towns along the burned and
threatened strips are out fighting the fire,
and the railroad company has large gang
of section men assisting them. The loss
thus far has been very heavy, but cannot
be estimated.
BASSETT, Neb. March pa disastrous
prairie fire has been raging in Rock county

ing, and. an army of men and teams are

Strength Failed While Trying to
Reach a Place Where Food
Could Be Secured.

report of the death of Leonidas Hubbard
jr., assistant editor of Outing Magazine,
was confirmed to-day in a letter received
by relatives of A. Dillon Wallace, for
mer Williamstown man, who is the surviv-
ing white man of the party. The letter was
written by Wallace at Northwest river in
December, nearly two months after the
death of Hubbard, and it tells of his death
and of the narrow escape of Wallace.
While in the deep interior Hubbard s
strength failed him and the party started
back hoping TO reach provisions When
Hubbard was able to go no further Wal
lace and George, the Indian guide, made
him comfortable and went on for provisions
and assistance.
Wallace found a quantity of flour which
the party left on it's way in, about twelve
miles from the place where Hubbard was
left and started back with it, while George
went forty miles beyond to find a party of
trappers On the return trip Wallace lost
his way in the deep snow and was near
death and out of his mind when found by
Georges party. Wallace soon regained his
strength, but Hubbard died the same day.
