A piivate dispatch received here
reports that great tires ate raging at
Liau Yang. Tbls statement la not
tout! rated o!llcially. These ilres aia
Jeileved to result from the Japauesa
UicUing or fio'n the efforts of tne
Russians to destroy their stores pre
jaratory to the evacuation of Llao
Yang, with the additional bopa
Lf injuring tbe city aa a future Jap
muse base.
Uootltclal estimates place tbe Rus
sian forces lo the vicinity of Llao
Fang at ilfeteo divisions of lf,000
neo each. Tbcse are probably ex
resslve, tut it is evident tbat num
erical1 tbe Russians exceed tbe Jao
tnese. Tbe opinion tbat tbe Russian cas
us titles in tbe recent fighting will
reach JO,000 is confidently expressed
Im blgb quarleia here. Neither Field
Marshal Oyarua nor tbe Japanese
army commander! have yet estimated
tbe Russian losses.
It aeems tbat the Japanese avoided
a direct assault to Llao Yang itself,
iut devoted their energies to tbe
Itoops outside tbe city In an effort
k cut off tbe Russian retreat. Llao
Yang is strongly fortified and It is
pcotable tbat the Japanese will not
attack tie city directly until tbey
bave succeeded in isolating it.
Should tbe Russians abandon Llao
Yang tbe Japanese will of course
nler It.
Tbe lighting at Llao Yang was
continued until a late hour and. It
was resumed at dawn. Tbe fate ef

ST. PETERSBURG. While in
listing that Marshal Oyaina missed
nis main objtct at Llao Yang, most
it the Russian papers do not dis
(uise their profound disappointment
Jver tbe result of the bat'le of Llao
Yang. The Russky Invalid, organ
it tbe arwr, however. Is of tbe opin
ion that General Kuropatkin both
itratcgira'ly and technically get
everything possible c ut of Llao Yang,
laying:
"It enabled him to cope with an
lrrny very much superior to his.
Field Mar-hal Okin a was compelled
to waste veral tens of thousands of
men to cuuiure a position which is
jf no Importance now tbat Kuropat
kin has left. It is evident tbat
Dlama's plans aims carried since lie
failed to surruuud and inflict a de
cisive blow on the Rus-lan army."
The other view is represented ty
the IIuss as follows:
'"ilie f.ict that Kuropatkin was
comptlltd to leave Llao Yang has
not only military but political slgoi
tiance. It is no use concealing the
fact that the rvacuaton of Llao
Yang was a surprise for the Rus
sians. Everybody was led to believe
tbat the hour had arrived for a de
cisive struggle. It was thus we
Interpreted Kurpatklu's telegram
saying tbe men were tbrlsting for
an opoortunily to meet th foe."
"iJishing our hopes means a pro
longation of the campaign. The
moment for taking the offensive is
no imlcliltely postponed. This will
inevitably Influence the fat" of IJort
Arthur and the further develope
ri'Mit of the Japanese operation.
The evacuation oi Llao Yang will
have au effect up n China, which
already in a state of uerv us tension
under tbe Influence of tbe Japanese
agitation. The Japanese of course,
will do their best to restore Mukden
to China, and China must foot the
bill. We cannot deceive our selves
any longer with the idea that by
retreating into tbe heart of Man
churia we are gaining time and add
ing to our forces whereas the Japan
ese are lengthening their line of
communication arid therefore losing
strength. Our ideas of the military
strength of Japan were far Iroru
correct. It la on known that tbey
can Increase their forces as well as
we can. We fully believe in our ulti
mate success, but It Is idle to blink
st facts. We shall have to make a
heavy sarrlclle in order to piotect
the vital Interests of the empire."

EW YOBK.-Fourteeo persons
were killed and nearly a score injured
In a fire lo a five-story double tene
rbeut in Attorney street at an early
hour in tbe morning. It was one of
the worst fire In tbe loss of human
lives tbat has occurred on tbe East
Siriu lo several years, although tbe
property I 'is was slight.
Tne dead Include four women, one
man and nine children, rargiog In
age from three months to twelve
years.
Many of tbe injured were taken to
hospitals and it Is thought tbat
several of these will die. Among
the Injured were five firemen who
were on a forth fl xir balconv which
Ml with; them. Tbe small number
of men among tbe killed and injured
was due to tho fact tbat most of tbe
uieu who lived In the building, fol
lowing the Attorney street custom
in hot weather were asleep on the
roof, while but few of tbe women
and children were theie. Those on
the roof W'-re unable to esspe by de
sendlng through the burning build
ing and made their way to safety
over nelgborlng roofs. Meanwhile
tbemeuibrrs of their families who
bad remained In their rooms found
es-ape cot off and paoio resigned
throughout the structure.
Tin tire started about 3 o'clock In
the morning and there was consider
able r) el a j In sending lo an alarm,
although the district Is one of the
most thickly populated In the crowd

the firemen reached the Scene some
of the tenants were Jumping from
the windows and from the ends of
fire es'ap's that reached only to the
second floor; others were crouching
In the smuke In tl e small room and
narrow halls.
The fire is supposed to bave been
cau-ed by the explosion of a lamp

Halt on Track
.ST. LOUIS. flix persons were
killed and nineteen were Injured,
two probably fatally and nine ser
iously, by tbe collision of a Wabasb
woild's fair shuttle train with a
suburban electric car at tbe Saiab
street crossing. There were twenty
five passengers In the car and none
escaped Injury.
Tbe shuttle train was returning to
Union station from tbe world's fair
grounds at the rate of about twenty
miles an hour, It la stated. Tbe
street car, which was on Its way to
tbe suburbs wltb a load of people re
turning borne, stopped directly in
front of the engine and was cut in
two. The trucks of tbe car were
knocked 100 feet away while part of
Its roof was carried 200 feet further
by tbe train. Bodies of tbe dead
and Injured, with wreckage of tbe
dismantled cars, were scattered
along the track for tbat distance,
A. W. Uurbank, engineer of tbe
shuttle train, who blames tbe motor-
man of tbe electric car for tbe accl
de.it, said:
"1 was wltb 100 yards of the
Suburban crossing when I saw tbe
Suburban car start across the track.
It looked to me as If It had ample
time to get across."
Tbe watchman and tbe flagman
at tbe crossing and some of tbe pas
senders confirm tbat the car started
across tbe rear track and then stop
ped where it was atruck.
No satisfactory explanations has
been given why tbe car stopped in
tbe middle of the track, after It
started across.
Fred Ott, the gateman at the
crossing, said:
"My orders bave been not to use
the gates, although there are gates
here
"When the car approached I saw
It and rang tbe crossing bell. Tbe
car stopped, tbe conductor went to
the front and then 1 saw the car
start again and stop In the midde of
the track. It seemed to be dead."'

ST. PETERSilURG.-Emperoi
Nicholals received a telegram from
General KuropUkio asking for tbe
immediate dispatch to tbe far east
of the Sixth army corps.
TOKIO. -Field Marshal Oyama,
telgraphing at 9 o'clock in the morn
ing said: "Aftr the lighting of
the nlgl t and aiornlng Liao Yang
fell Into our bands. Our casualltlei
are believed to be very heavy. No
report has been received concerning
ronsdltlons on tbe right bank of tlx
Taitse river."
lieyond Field Marshal Oyamas dis
patch reporting the occupation ol
Liao Yang and the commencement
of General Kurokl's turning move
ment against tbe Russian left, noth
ing further conceruirg the baltie of
Llao Yang has reached Tokio.
Neither t lie number of Russian? who
succeeded in escaping northward nor
the number encom passed by General
Kurokl's turning movement is
known here. The severity of the
Russian defeat hinges laraley on
Kurokl's movements. If successful
the number of Russian prisoners
will be large. The rneiger reports
received Indicate that the soldiers
of both armies went to the limit ol
human endurance and suffered terri
bly. It, was impossible constantly to
supply them with food and water,
and the men bave fought four days
past starving and parched witB
thirst.
Although full details are lacking,
the duration of tbe fighting, the
numbers engaged and the 1 ;Ses so
far reported indicate that Llao Yang
will prove to be one of the greater
battles of history.
Tbe dispatch received from FJeld
Marshal Oyama announcing the fail
of Llao Yang bad tbe effect of cheer
ing all Of tbe subjects of the mikado.
Throughout tbe rejoicing here fol
lowing tbe earlier success of Japan
ese arms at Llao Yang tbe more
thoughtful people feared tbe results
of tbe exposure to wblcb tbe right
wing of General Kurokl's army was
subjected, and it was held possible
that the strength of the Llao Yang
fortifications would permit the with
drawal of tbe bulk of tbe Russian
forces there. Even now there Ii
doubt concerning the number ol
Russians who have escaped, but
there is no doubt about tbe character
of tbe victory at Llao Yan.
Tokio is brilliantly illmuninated
and joyful crowds are parading tba
streets cheering the exploits of Field
Marshal Oyama, and General Oku
and Nodsu.

ST. PETERSBURG. It is report
id at a late hour tbat General
Kuropatkln's rear guard bas been
ilmost anlhlilated and that tbe main
Russian army is in imminent danger
3f being surrounded.
ST. PETKRSBUftG.-A summary
A tne war situation shows tbat the
wboie Russian army or at least tbe
main portion of It, Is already above
Yent'ai station and is pushing on
toward Mukden.
Field Marshal Oyarna's entire
army has crossed the Taitse liver
iuA part of it Is banging o1) to Kurn
patkin's flank.
A strong flanking column on the
eat Is pushing rapidly north in the
ell irt to head off the Russians.
Against this column Kuropatkin
has sent oi't a strong cavalry divi
sion to the northeast, which, It is
believed, is already in position to
check the Japanese flankers, while
to the westward Kuropatkin Is mov
ing a division toward hilu Mln tin,
thirty u.iles west of Mukden, to
meet any interference that may be
attempted from tbe direction of
Yinkuw or New Chwang.
Oyarna's advance is reported to be
eng, inliig the Russian rear, but it is
not expected to develope anything
more serious than a series of rear
miard actions tending to harass
Kuroputkins' retreat.
The Japanese have thrown a
strong flanking column across the
Taitse river at BenlUu, about thirty
miles northeast of Liao Yang. Tbis
column is hurrying to the north
east and endeavoring to get in be
tween tbe Russian army and Muk
den. It Is against tbis movement
that Kurcpatkln has dispatched
Lieutenant General Renonkamptf
wltb a strong Cossack division wblcb
It is believed Is already blocking tbe
eastern high road.
Kuropatkin has three roads over
which be is marching toward Muk
den, besides the .double-tracked rail
road. The latter is chiefly occupied
In tne transportation of guns and
equipment, of which there is a great)
tjuantity Tbe soldiers are march
ing in light order, and must of the
wounded bave already been dispatch
ed north by rail.
General Kuropatkin in a telegram
to the general stall tiled at 1 p. m.,
September 6, north of Yentai, says
he Japanese on Sunday engaged bis
rear guard south of Yental, the
lighting continuing until Monday.
The telegram details tbe precautions
aken to checkmate tbe Japanese
flankers.
Kuropatkin estimates his losses
up to and lucludlng September 4, at
16,000. Tbls is considered to be a
very conservative figure. Tbe loss
to tbe Japanese probaoly will double
this number owing to their position
as attackers.
Kuropatkin says nothing regarding
the loss of guns, but It is probable
i bat some of the heavier emplaced
guns at Llao Yang had to be aban
doned. There is no truth either in the re
port that Kuropatkin bas been
ouoded or tbat Lieutenant Llone
vitcb Is moving to bis suppoit.
General Linuevltch Is still at Yladi
