Winnipeg, Man, April 1S.-The va

now beginning to swell these streams
here rapidly, and in day or so they
Will be bank full There has been a
rise OF twelve feet or more in the last
twenty -four hours, and in some places
along the Assiniboine in the city limits
water is among the trees. The ice
reOains intact and will not likely
break until honeyconlbed by warmer
weather than now prevails. The ice
usually begins to run here between
April Is and 90.
Persons living on the banks are
beginning to watch the waters with
anxiety and are fearing there may be
a repetition of the floods Of 1882. The
large Canadian Pacific railway bridge
west of Oxbow, crossing Moose creek,
was swept away and two smaller
bridges have also gone. No trains are
running over the Canadian pacifc be-
tween ONbow and Alameda. A big
washout ds also reported Two mHes
west of Oxbow, and consequently the
Canadian Pacific lfne from, Waskata
to Lyleton is not being operated.
At Portage La Prairie the water IN
the Assiniboine has risen ten feet III
twenty hours, ana still continues
to rise. The ice is solid and men are
busy blowing 1t up with dynamite.
The Indians on the reserve are moving
out, as they fear a repetition Of the
flood of two years ago.
A gang Of town employees have
been at work since Saturday morning
endeavoring to save the bridge crosse
ing the Assdniboine rive from destruc-
ton. The river is steadily rising and
the ice is beginning to jam. All day
the booming of the exploding dynamite
could be heard in the effort to free the
bridge of ice.

THAT cHEMuLPo FIGHT.
The Sinking Of the korietz and varias
as Told by Korean Paper.

| Victoria, B. c., April 13-Details OF
the fight between the Russian cruiser
Variag and Japanese fleet, which never
have been published on this side, We're
supplied by the passengers Of the
Northern Pacific liner Victoria, arrived
today from the orient The principal
japanese shell fire and the strange az
tacks of battle. The Korean Review OF
| late date gives the following version OF
| the historic combat:
The Variag and Korietz made
straight for the easterly channel, steer
| ing a little west of south, the Japan-
| ese fleet waiting for them eight miles
away. When four miles separated them
the Japanese threw shots at the Rus
slams bows as signal to heave to and
surrender. The only answer the Rus
slams made was to crowd on more fire
and the Variag began to leave the
| Korietz and, steaning twenty-f four
knots, headed straight for the Japan
csc flagship. The object was to get as
closely as possible to the Japanese. as
| the Variag's guns We're only six and
four r-tenths inches, and quite useless
was at five minutes before noon. The
| Japanese fleet was deployed into line,
facing the approaching steamers, ap-
parently not intending to bring their
whole force to bear on them. The two
| Japanese vessels that smashed the
| Fariag to pieces were the Asama ana
Chi Yoda; no other vessels Of the Jap
anese fleet took part. Not long after
the warning shots the two Japan
ese ships let loose their whole
batteries, the noise being terrific. The
Variag swerved to the eastward and
gave the Japanese her starboard broad
side. All about her the sea was torn
into foam and spouting fountains of
water with the machine gun fire and
exploding shells. Her steering gear was
smashed early in the fight and she had
to depend entirely on her engines to
steer. Seeing 1t was impossible to
make the eastward passage the Var
liag's commander headed for the west
and came around the course of which
brought the Variag very much nearer
the Japanese. Then the deadly work
was done on her. Ten of twelve gun
captains We're shot away. A shell
tween the arm and body OF a gunner
who had his hand on his hip, and
bursting. killed every other man on the
forecastle. Both bridges We're destroy
ed by bursting shells. Captain Rub
nieff was seriously wounded. A lieu
tenant who was IN a coming tower
ipeering thru an observation slit had his
face beaten clean in and his head re-
duced TO a pulp by the terrific impact
of she'll which struck the slit just
opposite his face and exploded. The
scenes on the fore and aft decks We're
sickening The Nariag's surgeon went
violently insane shortly after the en-
ga agle1nent. so the wounded men haud to
wait until boats with me dical assist
ance arrived from neutraI ships. The
explosion of the Korietz was so violent
that neutral commanders asked that
the yariag be not blown up She was
accordingly set on firs and sunk. The
Variag's forty -one dead We're placed in
one of the cabins and burned and went
down with their ship.
