RUSSIANS LOST 5000 MEN.

Indianapolis, June 21.-The News
has received special cablegram
from Hector Fuller, it's special war
correspondent at Che Foo, giving the
following account of his release from
Port Arthur and the situation inside
the besieged fortress:
"Che Foo, June 2O.-After spending
five days in a Russian prison, l was
released and put on board Chinese
junk and sent to this place.
"The stories of starvation In Port
Arthur spread by the Japanese are un-
true, as stores and supplies are con-
stantly arriving at the besieged city
from Chinese ports. The Japanese
blockade is ineffective.
THE garrison consists of between
$4,000 and 10000 troops and the
health of both soldiers and civilians is
good.
"The damaged battleships have all
been repaired and the harbor entrance
cleared of Instructions. Immense
new forts have been constructed and,
in my opinion, the place is in no i'm
mediate danger of falling into the
hands of the Japanese.
THE Japanese attack by land and
sea made on the Sth inst. was easily
repulsed. l was the first correspond
ent to enter Port Arthur since the
blockade began"
st. Petersburg, June 21.-A dispatch
from Gen. Stoessel, commander of the
Russian military forces at Port Ar
thur, dated June II, received here, re-
ports that no serious fighting has oc-
CURED around Port Arthur. Only a
few skirmishes have taken place, the
siege operations having not yet be-
gun.
A detailed report of the Russian
losses at the battle of Vafangow
places the total at 5000 killed and

ST Mu Chen, Manchuria, June 21.-
The Japanese artillery at the battle
of Vafangow included heavy siege
guns using lyddite and sweeping the
whole battlefield. The Japanese suf-
fered tremendous losses in turning the
Russian right. One battalion of the
Twenty sixth regiment was annihilat-
ed.

THE DEATH LIST GROWS.
More Corpses from the Genera
SIocum Are Found.
The coroner's Inquest Begins and
Thousands Of People Gathered
In and Around the Place
where II Was Held.

New York, June 21.-The list Of
those who perished on the General
Slocum is growing at an alarming
rate. Bodies came to the surface yes
terday off the shores of North Brother
island singly and in groups of twos
and threes, until at dusk SO additional
had been recovered. Every passing
steamer seemed to churn up the water
to such degree that with its wash
one or more bodies would be swept
onto the beach. Between the hours Of
8 and in the afternoon As bodies,
some of them badly mutilated were
taken ashore by the searching parties.
This brings the total number of
bodies recovered up to 725, and yet
there are something like 300 persons
unaccounted for. A number of these
are among the unidentified at the
morgue and the ''unrecognizable" that
have been buried in the Lutheran
cemetery on Long Island.
The coroner's inquiry into the dis
aster was begun yesterday. Thou
sands of persons gathered in and
around the armory, in the borough of
the Bronx, where the inquest was
held.
According to the testimony of John
j. Coakley, one of the Slocum's deck
hands, at the inquest, he never had
been instructed in fire drill since he
became an employe of the Knicker-
booker Co. at the beginning Of last
season.
Edward Flanagan, the mate for the
last two seasons on the Slocum, who
hired the deck crew of that boat, said
that the forward cabin where the fire
broke out was used for storing old
lines and worn out awnings and
brooms He had one barrel of sperm
oil there, and there were some empty
barrels that had contained oil.
Were there any arrangements to
turn steam onto the lower deck?"
Not to my knowledge"
Flanagan said he had no license,
as either master or mate. His duties
were to take charge of the deck crew.
did you ever have a fire drill?"
asked Mr.. Wise.
Flanagan replied: Not to my
memory. | did not keep track"
Have you seen the fire hose un-
coiled since the season opened?"

Early estimates of the Japanese
losses at Telissu say that 1000 men
were killed or wounded.
Emperor Nicholas has received the
following telegram, dated June 16,
from Gen. Kuropatkin:
Il have received the following dis
patch from Gen. Stakelberg, dated
June 16:
Yesterday l had intended to at
tack the enemy's right flank, but just
as our troops had been assigned for
the purpose and were beginning to
successfully envelop the enemy's 8
right flank, the Japanese in their turn
attacked my right flank with superior
forces and l was compelled to retreat
by three roads to the north.
"'Our losses are heavy, but they are
not yet completely known. During
the engagement the third and fourth
batteries of the First artillery brigade
were literally cut to pieces by the
japanese shells. OF 16 guns, Is were
rendered completely useless and were
abandoned.
1.-The conduct of the troops was ex-
cellent, large proportion of them re-
fusing to retire until after they had
been repeatedly ordered to do so."'

Kansas City, June 21.-Two persons
were killed and seven others were in
jured, one fatally, here Monday by the
partial collapse of the four-story brick
building at Third and Delaware
streets, occupied by the Block Pre-
serving Co. The collapse was caused
by overlooking. 1t was at first sup
posed that a carboy of ammonia had
exploded, but this proved to be un-
rue. One side of the structure ex-
tending its whole height fell in. There
were so girls and men on the upper
stories at the time. and a panic pre-
vailed among them. Many escaped
down the rear fire escape, while 9TH
ers were rescued by firemen. The
dead:
Bert Brown, aged 30, of Joplin, Mo.
Lila Allen, aged 13.
OF the injured Claude Chambers
may die. Chambers was buried four
hours and the body of Lila Allen was
only recovered after seven hours
search.

Apparatus Was Defective.

Columbus, o., June 21.-The board
of managers of the Ohio penitentiary
yesterday heard the evidence of half
dozen experts concerning the prob
able defects in the electric chair in
the prison annex which acted ex-
tremely badly in the executions of
Schiller and Johnson last week. 1t
was decided that the fault was with
the apparatus, If fault there was, and
1t will be rewired completely. All.
concerned deny that the ousting of
Warden Hershey was considered.
Hershey laughed at the story. The
warden left for the Chicago conven-
tion last night.

JAPs' GUNS SUPERIOR.

London, June 1S.-No further news
of Gen. Stakelberg's present position
has yet been received. All accounts
agree upon the great superiority both
of the Japanese guns and the handling
of them in the battle of Vafangow.
One account says that the Japanese
had over 200 machine and mountain
guns on the field and that these were
admirably adapted for use in such
mountainous districts, while the Rus
sian field guns were too heavy and
were otherwise unsuitable.
