RACE TRACK STABLES BURNED.
Valuable Horses Destroyed, but Many
Escaped the Flames.

ST LOUIS, Mo, May Six race horses
were burned to death and twelve stables
were destroyed in two fires that broke out
early today at the st. Louis Fair Associa
ton race track. 1t is believed that the fire
was of incendiary origin The total loss,
II is estimated, amounts to about $4,000.
In the first fire, which broke out soon
after midnight, three horses belonging to
Frank Gerring of st. Louis were burned to
death. Tl-ey were Molly T. and Irby Ben
nett, each valued al S400 and three-year-
old maiden colt, valued al 81 200 Two hours
later the second fire broke out and three
more horses were lost. They were Sam
Houston. 50 600; Hadrian, 81. 900 and Iowa
ble. 81 600. The two former were owned by
Harry Mack of st. Louis and Lovable was
the property of Kavansugh & Breed
1t was at first thought that lighted
cigarette carelessly thrown into a stall
started the first fire, but the second fire
dispelled this theory, especially when in
vestigation after daylight disclosed that a
valuable watch dog kept in the stall of
Hadrian dead. The body was found
under the body of Hadran and was un-
touched by fire. The second fire, It is said,
started in the stall of Hadrian
The doors of all the stables were thrown
open when the fire broke out a second time
and 2l5 racers stampeded, but all were
caught during the forenoon.

was covered with clothing, which the rob-
Der dragged off. all the time keeping the
inmates covered with his revolver. He de-
manded key to open the box, but this be-
ing refused him he shouldered the box and
backed out into the night.
Knox and Hamilton Immediately gave the
alarm and in a few moments posse or
miners was on the trail. About mile
from the cabin they found the box, badly
dented, evidently from blows of the bandits
revolver, but with its contents untouched.

GIVEN STATION IN TEXAS.
Capt. Wooten to Be Relieved of Duties
in WASHINGTON

Capt William p Wooten, Corps of En-
gineers, upon his relief from his present
duties by Gen. Mackenzie, chief of en-
gineers, will proceed to Dallas, Texas, and
take station at that place for duty in con-
nection with the proposed improvement of
Trinity river.
Capt. Wooten is duty in this city
under the immediate orders of Col. Smith
5. Leach, Corps of Engineers, in charge of
the water supply system and the improve
ment of the Potomac river.
When Col. Miller, the predecessor of Col
Leach, had charge of the Washington aque-
quot he placed Capt Wooten IN direct
charge of the work of building the tunnel
from Georgetown to the Howard University
reservoir and also of the building of that
reservoir. Upon the completion of those
works Capt. Wooten was specially charged
with the construction of the filtration plant
He has been identified with the latter work
from it's Inauguration to the present time
1t is not intended that Capt Wooten's
transfer to Dallas shall interfere with his
work on the filtration plant, although it
may necessitate his making several visits to
Texas before its completion. Gen. Macken-
zie had the order framed SO that its execu-
ton would not compel Capt. Wooten to
leave Washington until the condition of
the work on the filtration plant should JUS
tify his permanent absence
1t Is not expected that active operation
for the improvement of the Trinity river
near Dallas, can be undertaken for several
months yet. The filtration plant will un-
doubtedIy be completed this fall. Presen.

THE COUNTER-C

PARIS, May 5.-The japanese representa-
tives here continue to make almost daily
visits to the foreign office for the purpose
OF learning what steps are being taken to
compel the Russian second Pacific SQUAD
ron to maintain the neutrality of French
waters and also to present the informa-
ton reaching Tokyo showing that the
Russian warships receiving supplies
from French ports. These visits have led
TO the publication of reports that DIR. Mo-
tono, the Japanese minister has SUBJ
mitted another protest on the subject.
This is not correct the visits as yet not
having resulted in renewal Of the Japa-
nese protest. However it is evident that
the Japanese are showing growing solici-
tude, and their repeated visits give a more
pressing character to the representations
each day concerning the location of the
Russian ships.
1t appears to be conceded that they are
outside the three-mile limit, the queS-
tion no longer hinges upon their being
within French territorial waters. But the
japanese information indicates that the
Russians. while they are outside neutral
limits. keep up communication with the
shore thus retaining the practical advan-
tages of remaining inside neutral waters.
Admiral de JonQuieres departure from
Saigon with a portion of the French
squadron was for the purpose of carrying
out the strict orders sent to him from here
against permitting any infringement OF
neutral rights particularly along the coast
about Cape ST. James where the Japa-
nese information indicates the Russians
have secretly been taking supplies on
board
dispatch to the Havas Agency from St.
Petersburg says Admiral EOjestvensky has

TOKYO. May 5.-Popular attention is now
centered the presence of the second
Russian Pacific squadron in French waters.
While the assurances of Franco relating to
the Kamranh bay incident were generally
accepted. the later discovery that the Rus
sian ships continued their stay at Kamranh
bay, and then entered other French ports,
has created a feeling of keen disappoint-
ment. rapidly growing deeply resentful.
The local press charges France with bad
faith and repeats the demands for nde-
pendent action upon the part of the Japan
ese government. The conservative element
Is awaiting Frances response in explana-
ton, hoping that that government will

Speculation Over Nebogatoff's Move

Reaching China Sea.
ROJESTVENSKY SAILED

ST. PETERSBURG, May 5, 1:55 pm
Admiral Rojestvensky, according to high
naval authority, has sailed south to meet
the division of the Russian second Pacific
squadron. commanded by Admiral Nebog-
atoff The admiralty has Information that
a Japanese division of fast cruisers ana
torpedo-boat destroyers were sent south Tor
the purpose, if possible, of crippling or de-
stroyng Nebogatoff's ships before they
could effect junction with those of Ro-
jestvensky, and there is reason to believe
that the japanese took up a position n
the Srtaits of Sunda. through which Nebo-
gatoff originally intended to make the pas
sage into the North sea.
There is also reason to believe that Nebo-
gatoff first approached the Straits of Sunda,
but, finding them too well guarded, pu,
about and headed north for the Straits of
Malacca his division lacking the protection
of fast cruisers. and being at a great dis
advantage in meeting torpedo boat attacks.
Admiralty Gratifed.
The admiralty expresses much gratifica-
ton at the fact that Admiral Nebogatof
has successfully reached the China sea- but
appreciates that the composition of his divl-
sion renders it particularly vulnerable to a
swift adversary, especially as the crews of
his ships have not had the training III ma
neuvering or the target practice which Ad-
miral Rojestvenslly's crews had while off
the Island CT Madagascar, and the anxiety
here will only be completely relieved when
it is known that a junction has been ef-
fected.
The Russ today announces that Capt.
Clado has been made staff captain. Clado
was Admiral Rojestvensky' chief tacticlan
until the North sea incident. He recently
was appointed to special service in connec-
ton with vessels navigating rivers in the
