A BATTLE RAGING
ATTACK ON PORT ARTHUR BE-
GUN IN EARNEST.
ALREADY FOUR DAYS FIGHTING
Chinese Reaching Che Foo say Tn,
an Engagement Has Been Going on
for Some Time and That Much DAM
age Has Been Done to Forts.

CHE FOO-The Chinese, both mer-
chants and coolies, are leaving Port
Arthur with the permission Of the
Russian authorities. Fifty junks
which left Port Arthur yesterday
with Chinese passengers are now ar
irving here. The reports of the latest
arrivals vary in minor details, bat
agree in a general statement that
battle has been raging for four days
within ten miles of Port Arthur.
All the Russian soldiers have, it is
said, left Port Arthur for the front
and only three large ships and
number Of small ones remain in the
harbor. The Chinese are unable to
explain what has become of the other
large ships.
The further report that all the forts
at Port Arthur have been more or
less damaged by recent lombard
ments and that a number of mines
recently laid in the entrance to the
harbor were exploded during thun-
derstorm.
LONDON-The sudden Interrupt
ton of the cable between Japan and
Corea is considered significant of the
imminence of important operations at
Port Arthur, the Japanese having TAX
en- precaution, as usual, to cut the
only means of communication with
the outside world and thus enable it's
naval and military forces to work
with absolute secrecy.
No attention is paid in London to
ress has already begun, because it is
known that a the battle of Kin Chou
General Oku had exhausted his am
munition, and an insufficient period
has elapsed during which the stores
of ammunition could be renewed and
siege guns brought into position.
1t is considered likely that Admiral
wasting its ammunition in constant
encounters with the gunboats. This
may explain the rumored lombard
ments, while the firing on the land
side may be due to preliminary opera
tions, having for the purpose the driv-
ing in of the Russian forces.
ST. PETERSBURG-Th reports or
sorties from and attacks on Port Ar
thur coming in from foreign sources
arouse the liveliest interest here.
The government, not having means
of communication with the fortress,
accepts them with reserve. The ten
sion over the situation at the theater
of wwar is manifestly increasing. The
general staff is becoming more reti
cent and the public is convinced that
an important battle, which may de.
eide the fate of the campaign, is i'm.
pending.

general condition of corn is promis-

central gulf coast districts.
Winter wheat has suffered some

Oklahoma and Missouri; elsewhere
this crop has advanced favorably, but
the outlook over the eastern portion

With the exception of some weedy

Oats have made vigorous growth
throughout the central valleys and

Improvement in the condition of this
crop is indicated in nearly all dis

In the extreme northern states there
is an encouraging outlook for apples

southern states good crop of peaches

Corn Has Been Checked by the Lack

Wheat In Oklahoma Suffers from
Heavy Rains.

WASHINGTON--Ine weather bu-
rcau's weekly summary of crop condi-
lions is as follows:
While too cool for best results in
portions of the lake region and in the
districts east of the Rocky mountains,
with excessive moisture and lack OF
sunshine in the central Mississippi
and lower Missouri valleys, the week
as a whole has been very favorable
in the districts east of the Rocky
mountains. Drouth in the South At.
lantic and eastern gulf states has been
very generally relieved, although rain
is needed in portions of Florida and
in the central and western gulf coast
districts. The North Pacific coast
also experienced a favorable week
but in California nearly all crops
were injured by continued drying
north winds.
Over the western portions of the
corn belt the growth of corn has been
checked by the lack of warmth and
sunshine, and it is much in need of
cultivation, while in the central and
eastern districts planting and replant-
ing have been delayed by rains. Poor
stands are reported from the lake re-

Japanece Army Is Landed.

CHE FOO.- Chinese who have ar
rived here from Takushan say that the
Japanese army of 10000 men that
landed at Takushan last month and
proceeded toward Feng Wang Cheng,
presumably to reinforce General Ku-
roki, returned to Takushan May %.
The Chinese believed that the Japa-
nese had been defeated by the Rus
slams, but 1t is regarded here as more
likely that the advance toward Feng
Wang Cheng and return to Takushan
was simply japanese feint.

counterfeits similar to those passed
last Saturday or Monday on book

not be detected.
The front of the bills is a good imi-

General Bell issued the following
signed statement regarding the raid

destruction of the newspaper plant:

condemnation of this unamerican at
tack. Such action as this reflects
upon the military because martial
law prevails. AS military command

clearing up of this crime if it is pos
sible.
81 am aware that Editor Kyner was
bitterly denounced and threatened
and accused of selling out when his
editorial appeared asking the West

The socialistic element of the fedora
ton were the ones who took the prin'
cipal stand in this thing. However,
whoever the perpetrators of this
crime may be, they will land in the
bull pen if apprehended."

en- men were killed outright and one
died later from his wounds. All the
killed and injured, with the exception
of two men from the Deadwood mine,

the night shift of the Findley mine.
The men had quit work at a. m.
and were waiting to board a suburban
train on the Florence & Cripple Creek
railroad and return to their homes in
Cripple Creek and Victor. Just after
the engineer of the approaching train
blew his whistle as a signal to the
miners, according to custom, a terrific
explosion occurred underneath the sta
tion platform, on and near which TWEEN
ty-six men were gathered.
The platform was blown into splin-
tiers, the station was wrecked and a
hole twenty feet in depth was torn in
the ground. Fragments of bodies were
hurled through space for several hum
dred feet, and later were picked up
still quivering.
Some of the bodies dropped into tho
pit made by the explosion, but the
heads, hands, ears, legs, arms and
trunks were strewn about on all sides.
Pieces of flesh were found on build

NEWS FROM PORT ARTHUR.
Russians Get Cheering Reports by
Carrier Pigeons.


NEW CHWANG - Two carrier
pigeons arrived yesterday noon from
General Stoessel at Port Arthur. The
Russians will not divulge the message
carried by the birds, but declare they
contain good information and are
very cheerful since the pigeons ar
rived.
An Associated Press messenger
from the north reports that the magis-
trates of Hal Cheng and Liao Yang
were recently arrested by the Fus-
SLAMS and charged with furnishing
supplies and information to the
enemy. They were taken to Mukden,
but released after an investigation.
Influential natives declare that the
arrests were not made because the
Russians believed they could prove
the charges, but because the magis-
trates were non.commmittal and re-
fused to aid either side.
The Russians are printing a news
paper in Chinese at Mukden for the
purpose of influencing the natives
The latest copy received at New
Chwang says that Japan attempted to

of Japanese cavalry and says also that
the Russians will soon dictate peace
terms in Toxic and that the leading
