AN UNCoNFiRMED REPORT.
Gen. f<rropatkio'~ Forces Reported Defeated By Gen. kur.Lt

London, June "A special dispatch from Rome says a telegram has been received there from Tokio reporting that Gen. Kurok has completely de. feated Gen. kuropatkin's forces near Sumentse (probably Saimatsza or Si- mats1. t,f ---. - j.aa--
 All the Russian positions east of Hai-Cheng have been abandoned, ac- eording to the telegram; several guns have been taken, and whole squadrons of Cossacks captured.
 It is possible the news received in Rome refers to the fighting reported in dispatches from Liao-Yang and St Petersburg
 These did not indicate general en- gagement, but showed that a series Of sharp engagements had taken place east of Simatsi, lasting from the morn ing of May 2 until daylight of May 30. which resulted in severe losses on both sides and the retirement of the Russians upon Simatsi. The latter place is 35 miles north of Feng-Wang- Cheng.

A DENIAL BY CLEVELAND.
Calls Down Scott Of Kansas for His
Statement

WASHINGTON-In the house let
ter was read from Grover Cleveland
to Representative Weber of North
Carolina denying that c. H. j. Taylor,
a negro, dined with him at the White
House while he was president, as
charged by Representative Scott of
Kansas few days ago. Mr.. Scott
promptly offered his apology to the
former president, saying he never be-
fore had heard the statement which
he had made denied. A discussion of
the race question followed, during
which Mr.. Williams, the minority
leader, criticised President Roosevelt
for having invited Booker 7. Washing.
ton to a seat at his table.
Representative Weber said Mr.
Cleveland had been friend of the
negro, but never had held out to him
the hope of social equality. Mr.. Will.
liams said that objection to the ap
pointment of a negro to position
was met with the statement that
there could be no discrimination, but
asserted that a Chinaman would not
be appointed postmaster on the Pa

SWEPT BY FLAMES
PRAIRIE FIRES DO DAMAGE IN
OKLAHOMA.
A TRAIL OF RUINED HOMES
A Number of Persons Perish in the
Fire and Hundreds OF People Along
the Black Trail Are Destitute from
Ravages Of the Eelements.

LAWTON, Okla.-Five persons were
burned to death and 5000 square miles
Of territory in Kiowa and Comanche
counties were swept by prairie fire
Thursday. Hundreds of people are
homeless and IL is impossible to esti-
mate accurately the financial loss, ow
ing to the wide extent of country eff
fected.
At Hobart, the county seat OF Kiowa
county, the fire approached from the
east destroying the stables and fifteen
race horses, fifteen residences, two
business houses and various small
buildings. Spreading to the southwest
the fire swept $4,000 acres of govern
ment military and timber reserve
and Indian school reserve. destroying
several Indians houses and forty head
of government cattle.
Spreading westward the flames COW
destroying houses, barns and stock.
In this district five persons are re-
ported to have persisted in attempting
to protect their property. They are
Dr. and John Harmon. brothers, and
a man named Fischer The other
two were women and their names have
not yet been learned.
Late at night the fire began moving
southwark toward this city. At IL
o'clock, midnight, 5000 people of this
city were battling with the approach
ing wall OF flame. The advance line of
the fire was tullv two miles in length
and came in a semi-circle form.
A thousand men turned their efforts
to checking the grass borders of the
reservation at the city limits Water
from every source, carried in every
conceivable way, was distributed along
this line and carried all around the
city limits. This served the purpose
of checking the advance line of the
fire. but was of little avail in hinder
ing the continued rolling of the fire
brands into the streets of the city.
In more than 100 places flames
arose from dwelling, barns and out
houses, but wherever a blaze grew
men were present to quench it with
water AS a result of the cool judg-
ment of the fighters the city's loss was
only 100000
Stories are coming in of how fami-
lies layed out on the barren prairie
through the freezing night after the
FIRE storm had passed with only the
thin clothes of their backs as remand
ers of once prosperous homes. Hun
dreds of people are destitute and are
suffering intensely in the cold and
with the eXcruciating pains caused
by their burns.

PORT TOWNSEND. Wash.-After

lives.
About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morn

more and more threatening until, when
1t seemed a choice of deaths, Captain

FAIRBANKS FOR SECOND PLACE,
viii Not Resist Movement Regarding
Vice Presidencv


WASHINGTON-The Star says:
Senator Fairbanks will not resist a
movement o make MIN the vice pres
idential nominee of the republican
party. If the convention dominates
him, he will accept. More than that,
he will not attempt TO discourage eff
forts looking to his nomination.
ut is only fair to say that no eX-
plicit declaration by Senator Fair
banks to that effect has been made.
The Indiana delegation in congress
was convinced today that Senator
Fairbanks had yielded to the solicita-
ton of men high in the councils out
side of Indiana to take second place
on the national ticket.
Almost without exception his clos.
est political friends have advised
him, in his own interests, against ac-
cepting the vice presidency. lnfiuen'
tial republicans in the senate, such as
Spooner, Allison and Plat, have
urged him to take it, on the ground
that he would strengthen republican
ticket. especially in financial circles,
and that his first duty is to his party,
rather than to his own political fu-
turp"

TOY WITH PORT ARTHUR.

Japs viii Not Begin the Land Invest
ments for a Fortnight.
WASHINGTON-The landing in
force of the Japanese on the Liza Tung
peninsula and the beginning of the
land investment of Port Arthur will
not be for a fortnight, according to
advices received here from what are
believed to be reliable sources. 1t
was expected that the attack upon the
fortress would take place yesterday
or today, but these later advices, with.
out explaining the delay, show that
there has been change in the original
plans.
Army officers heer think that the
Japanese have decided that with the
railroad connecting Port Arthur with
the outside world cut, thus preventing
supplies from reaching the place, two
weeks privation will render final as
sault easier.
Moreover, as Port Arthur can be
safely lett as il is for the time being
the Japanese troops may be employed
instead in Northern Korea and near
the Value river, where they are most
needed.

DOCTORS COFFEE
And His Daughter Matched Him.

And His Daughter Matched Him.
Coffee drinking troubled the family
of physician of Grafton, w. Va, who
describes the situation briefly:
Having suffered quite while from
vertigo, palpitation Of the heart and
many other arrangements of the ner-
vous system and finding no relief
from usual methods of treatment, l
thought to see how much there was
in the Postum argument against cof-
fee.
so l resorted TO Postum, cutting
off the coffee and to my surprise and
satisfaction have found entire relief
from all my sufferings, proving con.
clusively the baneful effect of coffee
and the way to be rid Of it.
II have found Postum completely
takes the place of coffee both in flavor
and in taste. 1t is becoming more
popular every day with many of our
people and is having great demand
here.
my daughter, Mrs. Long, has been
sufferer for a long time from at
lacks Of acute indigestion. BY the
dismissal of coffee and using Postum
in its place she has obtained com
plete relief,
81 have also heard from many 9th
ers who have used your Postum very
favorable accounts of its good effects.

fee in a great many cases and be-
lieve that upon its merits Postum will
come into general use Name given
