ONLY A JAP HOAX
Story of Awful Casualties Spread
by His Foes to Lure Kuro-
patkin On. ...
Kuropatkin in Trap, Menaced by
Three Great Jap
Slsf Armies.
New York Sun Special Service.

NeW 3orh opeolal SeTHioe'
st. Petersburg, July 15.-It ap-
pears now that the dispatch report
Ing the loss Of 10000 Japanese was
q miserable hoax of the Japanese
themselves, suggested in order to mis-
lead General Kuropatkin and to cause
him to advance.
The consequent modification and
disgust felt has no limits.
To make matters worse, according
to the latest dispatches, General Oku
is seriously threatening Niu-chuang
with a large force; Field Marshal
Oyama has taken direction Of the in
vesting forces at Port Arthur; and
the best ship in the Russian navy in
the far east, the Novik. is damaged.
It Is now realized that the rainy
season, as a deterrent to active opera
tons, is going to be disregarded by
the Japanese.
Military experts here today fully
realize the enormous difficulties of
the job that Russia has in hand. One
of the principal experts writes:
"Altho firmly convinced Of our I'LL
innate success, the job is a difficult
one. There IS no use attempting to
conceal the fact that mobilizing has
been slow, while a correspondent at
Ta-tche-kaio telegraphs that our
troops are sleeping in marshy lands
excellent for growing rice but poor
for soldiers
General Kuroki, according to the
latest dispatches, does not purpose
marching, but takes measures to pre-
vent the Russian forces on the north
from doing so.

KUROPATKIN IN TRAP
Three Jap Armies Threaten Cars
General and 10000 Men.

Chicago, July 15.-Richard H. Lit
pondent, cables his paper from Niu-
chuang as follows: p
"Kuropatkin, with his army of / 50,-
900 men, seems in danger Of being
shut UP in Ta-tche-kiao. The Rus
slams are bewildered by the Japanes
movements, which are swift and unex-
pected. The Russian general had
deliberately planned to fight q, great
battle at Ta-tche-kiao today, but to his
surprise the affair did not come off,
The Japanese made feint against
Tai-ping-shan and the Muscovite lead
er finally discovered that the enemy,
instead of giving battle, had marched
eastward across his front and taken
UP a position on some hills to the east
of Ta-tche-kiao. .a..-
To the north Of Ta-tche-kiao in the
direction Of Liao-yang the japanese
forces are moving in three bodies
while a large fresh reinforcement is
advancing toward Ta-tche-kiao from
below Kaiping. The Russians remain
in their positions, dazed and puzzled
to know what all this means. The fact
that the Japanese have made no at.
tempt to occupy this city seems tc
mystify them still more. Only few
Russian troops are her now.
Kuropatkln, it is reported, is in
bad way, situated as he is, for not only
has he Generals Oku and Nodzu op.
posed to him, but General Kuroki
with another large force, is to tn,
northeast Of him and might readil.
advance fast and cut off the Russian
retreat toward Mukden.

Spender Clay's ingenious recital on

Neville, who comes of the proud
Abergavenny family, descended from
Warwick, the kingmaker, and quar-

con, obtained Clays signature by a
trick,
AS brought out by the evidence,
Neville asked Clay in 1898 to witness
his signature to private family docu-

Sits were cut in the blank sheet
which covered the documents afore-
said and 1t was here the guardsman
was asked to write his name. Clay
demurred, asking to see the docu-
ment. Neville told him that it re-
ferred to the divorce Of his sister,
Lady Cowley, whose suit was some
yielded. Thru the Sits Clay had, in
reality, Endorsed Neville's unpaid notes
for f11,113.
The suit Of Sam Lewis notorious
money lender, against Spender Clay
for the amount precipitated his accu-
sation of Neville. Lord Neville was
Esentenced to five years penal servi-
tude.
The Raging incident in 1902, while
it brought Clay less ridicule, was suf-
ficiently serious to force his resigna-
ton from the second lifeguards. Sec.

the fact that he took his profession
seriously and was undesirable soci-

BUFFALO BROKER
IN TRIPLE TRAGEDY
Edgar Washburn Shoots Wife
and Daughter Dead, Then
Kills Himself.

Buffalo, July 15.-A most shocking
tragedy came to light today when the
dead bodies of Edgar Washburn of
the grain firm of Heathe & Washburn
on the Board Of Trade; Mrs. Wash
burn, and his young daughter, Gladys,
8 years old, were found in a bedroom
of their home. Mr.. Washburn had
shot and killed his wife and daughter
and then turned the weapon upon
himself.
1t is believed the deed was com
mitted in fit of insanity. He had
written a letter to a relative recently,
saying he was having troubles in
business. AS far as is known, the
members Of the family had not had
any trouble among themselves.
Last evening was spent by the fam
lily at the house of a neighbor. There
was music and games, and all ap-
peared in a jovial mood.

MORTON FAVORS
A MIGHTY NAVY
New Secretary Declares for Max
ing Navy the Worlds
Greatest.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, July 15.-That the United
States navy not only should be a
great fighting machine, but that it
should be the most formidable one in
existence, is the belief of Paul Nor
ton, the new secretary Of the navy,
expressed last night at a farewell din
ner rendered him at the Chicago club
by the Merchants club of Chicago.
IF it is necessary" he said, 1T will
be my purpose to endeavor to impress
upon congress that the navy Of the
United States ought to be a first-class
fighting machine. Not only that, but
that it ought to be the most
formidable one in existence. It's mill
tary efficiency must receive the most
careful attention. After the proper
ships and weapons are provided it
should be the study Of those in charge
to see that the ships are handled
right. There should be unlimited
maneuvering and target practice SO
that the gunners may shoot straight
and ar esprit de corps from the ad-
miral down to the hardy tar should
bring about an acme of cooperation.

ALEXIEFF A MENACE
Interferes with Kuropatlzin's Plans
Even Countermanding Orders.

Berlin, July 15.-A dispatch to the
Lokal Anzeiger from Niu-chuang,
dated July II, describes the friction
between General Kuropatkin and
Viceroy Alexieff. The correspondent
says Viceroy AleXieff continually dis
turbs matters by assuming kingly airs.
He reverses Kuropatkin's orders.
When troops arrive at Mukden,
Alexieff holds inspections and parades,
delaying arrival at the front. He
sends his own chief of staff twice or
thrice weekly to Ta-tche-kiao to OBJ
serve and report on General Kuro-
patkins doings.
1t was reported that the officers
corps was almost ready to mutiny
against the viceroy, but desisted, be-
lieving it to be impossible to influence
the emperor to remove Alexieff.
The correspondent believes that the
present state of things will lead to
the loss of more battles unless Alexieff
is recalled, adding: His presence is
not only useless, but 1t a serious dan
ger to the army"
