St. Potoisburg, March 1. Uitesi news from Manchuria Is of the most important nature, the Associated Press dispatch from Mukden indicat ing that a general battle was begin ning nlong the whole ot the 100 miles or front occupied by the two armies. Genernl Kouuipatklu appears to havo taken a. leaf out of Kleld Marshal Oyama's book and replied to General Kurokl's attacks on the Russian left liy a counter attack on the Japanese left, in which General Kaulbars' Initial Miceess Is bettor fur the Russians than the best efforts of Genet al Grip jienborg, the Russian vanguard being established at the outskirts of Saudi npu. At the same time General Kour opatkin delivered n blow against the Japanese center, seizing a rallioad lirldge across the Shakhe river. These reports therefore give a more hope ful aspect to the situation, as the Jtussian aivuy, though driven out of Da pass, appears to have succeeded in stopping, at least for the moment, the further advance of the Japanese eastward and benten off the attack on the center. The effect of the developments on General Kouropatkln's reported inten tion to withdraw from the Shakhe is problematical. Retirement in the face of an enemy, which Is extremely hazardous under any circumstances, is doubly dnngerous when the armies nre grappling In a general engage ment, but If Genernl Kurokl succeeds in rolling up tho RtiBsInn loft much further, the perilous expedient may becomo necessary. Tho counter at tacks on the right and center may possibly bo Intended to cover tho wlthdrnwlng of trains and stores. Further news Is awaited with great anxiety. Anything like a decisive Jnnancse victory now would probably end the Avar. Strike Situation In Poland. ' Warsaw, March 1. The atrlko situ ation In Poland Is far from encourag ing.

Eleven Persons Killed and Fifty In jured in Accident at Brooklyn. New York, Feb. 28. Eleven per rons wcro killed and upwaids of lllty Injured, some probably fatally, by the collapsu of tho itoorlng of the Fleet Street African Methodist Episcopal church In Brooklyn. Of those killed, eight were women, two men and one child. Tho building was an ancient rnnv ehnekle, frame structure, erected sixty years ago, In tho lieatt of the colored section or Brooklyn, In Fleet street, near Myrtle avenue. Arrangements had been made to hold funeral serv ices or Sydney Tatnter, one or the older members of the church, and the auditorium, which Is on the second floor or the building, was crowded with an audience of upwards of 300 persons, of whom the majority were women. The congregation wua waiting in silence for the arrival of tho body and Pastor Jacobs was standing at the altar awaiting the summons to meet the funeral procession at the door, when n splintering of timbers wn3 beard ami in an instant the half of the auditorium nearest the door col lapsed, carrying down more than 100 persons, who were crushed in the wreckage of the flooring and pews. A great volume of dust for a few mo ments hid from view the victims. The remainder of tho audience, finding IhomscIvcH cut off from the door and expecting every instant that the rest of the flooring would collapse under them, fought madly to reach the win dows, and in some instances leaped from them and sustained serious in juries. On the arrival of the police and firemen the work of rescue began. Those remaining uninjured on the portion of the floor remaining intact were taken from tho windows by lad ders. Those lying in the mnss or wreckage on the lower floor could only be got at after the firemen had hewed their way to them with axes. Out of the wreck elgjit bodies were re covered and taken to a station house and about thirty removed to tho Brooklyn hospital, where three women died. All the ambulances in Brooklyn were called out and about a score of those hurt were able to go home after their injuries had been attended to. Henrtrendlng scenes were witnessed in tho stntlon house, which was thronged with relatives and friends. Those killed were: Bertha Green, Theresa Ellis, Samuel Chlsbolm, Anna Bean, Anna Sullivan, Umlsa Smith, Mary Scott, four unidentified. The cause of tho collapse was tho decayed condition of the beams and bupports of the flooring.

New Orleans, Feb. 27. Fire, involv ing millions of dollais losa in property and which strikes a borlous, if tem porary, blow at the Immense export trade of New Orleans, swept the river front and wiped out the vast lrelght terminals of the Illinois Central, known as the Stuyvesant docks. Near ly n dozen squares of modern wharves and lreighs sheds, two magnificent grain elevators, hundreds of loaded cars and vast quantities of freight, In cluding 20,000 bales of cotton, were destroyed, together with u largo num ber of small residences. The loss may exceed $5,000,000. The lire Is said to have resulted from a Journal that had not been suf ficiently oiled. In hnlf an hour tho lire covered two squares, the lowet clevatof was practically consumed and the fire was sweeping with irre sistible fury, both up and down the river. As soon as it became known that the zone of the fire was the Stuyvesant docks, harbor tugs hast ened to the wharves and vessels that were moored there were pulled out in to the river. At the same time switch engines were rushed to the wharves and hundreds of boxcars loaded with freight were drawn to points above the upper end of tho terminals, be fore the fire reached them. Hundreds more, however, were consumed. The wind was blowing down tho river as .the blaze began and the fire spread with greater speed in that di rection. By a o'clock the lower ele vator and sheds and wharves from Amelia street to Louisiana avenue, n distance of six squares, had fallen in. Fortunately Louisiana avenue is a very broad thoroughfare and the fur ther spread of the fire beyond that point into a residence section was cheeked. Between the points named, however, the flames swept to completo destruction many cottages of the poorer classes, tho occupants in a great many instances losing all they possessed. The river boats, the employes of tho road and tho Are department concen trated all their energies In an effort to save the upper elevator, between Austorlltz and Constantinople streets, nnd to check the fire at that point. The fire, however, gradually worked past the point occupied by tho ele vator. Heroically the forces kept at work, but ultimately they, were beat en and tho big steel structure, cov ered with corrugated iron, suddenly burst into flames and in hnlf an houi was a complete wreck. More than nine squares of tho terminals havo been completely destroyed and It seemed unlikely that tho fire 9oulil be cheeked until it reached Napoleon avenue, which also Is a broad street. During tho fire a heavy wind blew and tho blazo was of Indescribable fury, carrying brands- to great dis tances, driving back the crowds of sightseers. Immense pieces of cor rugated Iron, torn from the sides of the upper elevator, were carried through the air as if they were feath ers, and dropping in every direction, constantly endangered the lives of firemen nnd spectators. Aside from the tremendous loss In volved In tho destruction of property, the Are Is a calamity to New Orleans In tho tomporary abatement of the Im mense export business of the Illinois Central, particularly In the matter of grain shipments.
