Mukden, June 1. —The Japanese on the night of May 2S made another at tempt to block Port Arthur by sink ins? merchant vessels in the harbor •entrance.

June 1. —The Daily Mail's correspondent at New Chwang says: j "Some Chinese fugitives from I'ort Arthur who arrived bore describe the j situation of the inhabitants there as j desperate. Famine prices exist. The j cost of provisions increases weekly, j Many persons are reduced to eating j Chinese food anil even that is dear, j "The work ?>f repairing the dam- : aged warships has been stopped. All j civilians have been given military du- | ties. The general health of the in- ! habitants is good, except that the j Chinese are dying of starvation. Theft ! has been made punishable by death, i Tokio, June 1. The Russians evacuated Dalny so hastily that they failed to destroy much property which will prove highly valuable to the Japanese. Liao Yang, June 1. —Continuous fighting has taken place northeast of Feng-Wang-Cheng and the railway above Kin-Chou since May 27. A sharp action has taken place 35 miles north of Feng-Wang-Cheng, which lasted from the morning of May 27 until daylight. May SO. Both sides suffered severely. JAPS LOST 200 TROOPERS. Liao-Yang, June 2.—The Japanese lost 200 killed and a number of horses in the fight at Vafangow on Monday. The Russians opened fire at 8 in the morning and after two hours and a half of long range firing the Japanese prepared to charge and crush the force which had been har assing them for 21 days. In the nteantime Gen. Samsonoff was ap proaching Vafangow with a strong force of cavalry. It was a sight worth ; seeing, when the Russian squadrons formed and rushed like a whirlwind across the terribly cut up country, clearing away all obstacles, the bat teries at the same time trotting along the frightful roads. Having passed the railroad station the troops came under the fire of the Japanese machine guns, but withdrew j without suffering much loss. The fourth and sixth companies of the j Eighth Siberian Cossacks furiously j charged the Japanese cavalry with lances, attacking both flanks. In a few minutes they literally cut the whole squadron into pieces. This was the first time lances were used, and they struck terror into the enemy. In some cases the lances pierced the riders through and wounded their horses. Some of the lances could not be withdrawn from the bodies into which they had entered. The Japanese infantry, numbering four battalions of 300 men to a com pany, and eight squadrons of cavalry attempted to advance, but the Rus sian batteries opened and soon the slope up which the enemy were ad vancing was covered with black spots and the enemy was forced to retire. Some of the Japanese cavalry were wonderfully dashing, charging with shouts upon the Russians, who met and scattered them. St. Petersburg, June 2. —Gen. Sak haroff has telegraphed as follows to the general staff: "According to reports the Japanese commander in the action of May 30 near Vafangow had three battalions of infantry in reserve. Our losses were 17 men killed and 23 wounded. The Japanese losses were very con siderable. One squadron of Japanese cavalry was annihilated in a hand-to hand encounter and another squadron which came to its assistance suffered great loss from the lire of our rifle men. We captured 19 horses." Alleged Swindlers in Trouble. Baltimore, June 3. —Charles Garrao and F. G. Harris, charged with devis ing schemes to defraud and using the mails for the purpose of defrauding the public, were held yesterday by Commissioner Rogers for the action of the federal authorities in Ohio. Most of the alleged swindling in which the men are said to have been engaged took place in Cleveland. Ac cording to testimony of witnesses who allege that they have been swindled by Carrao and Harris, the two men made a practice of selling stock in various concerns which did not exist. London, June 3.—The Daily Mail's New Chwang correspondent, cabling under date of June 2, says: "Gen. Stalkenburg, with 14,000 Rus sians, made up of artillery, cavalry and infantry, has marched south of Liao-Yang iu the direction of Wafang tien. "Large forces of Chinese bandits are collecting in the hills northeast of the Liao river and are preparing to cut the railway north of Mukden." The correspondent of the Daily Ex press at Nagasaki cables that trans ports loaded with troops continue to leave western Japanese ports daily for the theatre of war. Vladivostok, June 3. —Letters from the theatre of war report that Rus sian raiders have succeeded in pene trating as far as Gensan anil also south of Anju. They have destroyed depots of Japanese supplies and cap tured provision trains. Koreans are fleeing into Manchuria to escape the hardships of war. Chinese are mov ing from Kwan Tung into northern Manchuria in order to avoid living iu territory under Japanese control.

The S..nta Fe System Reports the Worst Delay from Floods Ever Experienced by that Railroad. Kansas City, Mo., June 4.—The 'leavy rains in the last few days in Kansas are confined mostly to the counties south of the Kavv watershed. As a result the valleys of the rivers which flow southeast are flooded. The tributaries of the Kaw are not danger- JUS. The worst floods yesterday were n the Neosho, Cottonwood, Verdigris, Arkansas and Marmaton rivers. All creeks through this section are flood ing and impassable. The rivers all 'Jrain to the southward. The rivers are flooding their valleys and doing great damage to town property, oil fields and farm lands throughout their length in Kansas. At Emporia, the Cottonwood is now as high as last year, when it reached the highest water mark ever known. At Fort Scott and vicinity the flood of six weeks ago has been repeated. Several hundred persons have been driven from home. At. Newton the flood is receding. Not less than 100 homes are uninhab itable as the result of the high water. The flooded section covers an area of 30 blocks. Not a train from east or south has reached Newton for 30 hours. At. Strong City the water is running through the main street and the first floors of the Postal Telegraph build ing, the Bank of Strong City and sev eral business houses have been flooded. Topeka, Kan., June 4.—The Atchi son, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, in a statement issued Friday giving the lo cation of their trains floodbound in various parts of the state, says that this is the worst flood delay ever ex perenced by the road in Kansas. Joplin, Mo., June 4. —Several houses were unroofed in Joplin, trees were uprooted and many booths arranged for the annual carnival were wrecked by a severe wind storm yesterday, while a torrent of rain that followed flooded the down-town streets, filling basements and causing damage. REVIEW OF TRADE. More Factories Have Reduced Hours or Wages and No Change Appears in the Iron and Steel Industry. New York, June 4. —R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Interruption of industrial progress by a holiday, labor conflicts and in clement weather again produced a somewhat unsatisfactory trade situa tion. Yet the money market is easy and liabilities of mercantile failures are comparatively small, indicating that most concerns have prepared for a quiet season and are able to with stand a period of diminished sales and tardy payments. This conservative attitude is the strong feature of the situation. More manufacturing plants have reduced hours or wages, and several strikes have added to the army of the unem ployed. No definite change is reported in tho iron and steel industry, quotations be ing barely maintained and new con tracts placed with great discrimina tion. Commercial failures ths week in the United States are 220, against IS2 the corresponding week last year. Failures in Canada number 2G, against 24 last year. DEADLOCK WAS BROKEN. Deneen Chosen to Head Republican State Ticket in Illinois. Springfield, 111., June 4. —By making a combination with Charles S. Deneen, L. Y. Sherman, Howland J. Hamlin and John H. Pierce, Gov.

Kansas City, June 4.—Nine persons are reported to have been killed and many injured in a collision of passen ger trains on the Missouri Pacific rail road near Martin City, 15 miles south of Kansas City. The trains, which met head on, were the westbound Colorado limited. No. 1, and the east bound Hoisington, Kansas, accommo dation, No. 30. A message received by Missouri Pa cific officials here ordered them to send a relief train as soon as possible and to get all the surgeons obtainable, from which it is inferred that numer ous passengers were hurt. Two Murders and Three Lynchings, Greenville, Miss., June 4. —This sec tion of the state is excited over the murder of a planter and his manager by negroes and over three lynchings which followed. John Simms, a white planter of Trail Lake, and William Cato, his manager, were killed by two negroes in a dispute over a trivial matter.
