WON IN TWO ACTIONS.
Kurokl Defeats Russian East
Flank at Liae Yang.
Heavy Japanese Losses at Port Arthur.
Two Drowning Catastrophes Work,
man Two Days In a Crevasse Res
ignation of Judge Parker Senator
Fairbanks Notified.
Gen. Kurokl bus severely defeated
he Russian forces which defended the
RtiRRlun earn flank at Llao Yang, win
ning separate actions at Yushullkzu
and Yangso pass. Theso two places
are 20 miles apart, but the two actions
were fought it the sumo time. The
Russians held strung positions. The
thermometer registered over 110 de
grees Fahrenheit and the soldiers suf
fered cruelly from heat exhaustion.
GENERAL COUNT KELLER.
KilleJ by Japanese Shell at Yanza
Pass.
At Yushullkzu the Russians had two
divisions of Infantry and some artil
lery, and they resisted the Japanese
asst. ults vigorously.
Both attacks were begun at dawn
Sunday, July 31. At Yushulik7.it the
Japanese carried the Russian right and
left wines but on account of the
ttrength of the muin Russian position
they wore unable to preFS the a! tack.
The two armies rested Sunday night
facing each other.
At dawn on Monday the Japanese
resumed the attack and by noon they
had dislodged the enrmy and driven
lilm four miles to Laohollng.
At Yangse pass also the Japanese
were successful.
The artillery opened on the enemy
and the infantry moved, forward from
Maknmeza. The attack on this place
was made at t o'clock on Sunday and
by nightfall the Japanese were in pos
session of a majority of the Russian
positions, although the enemy had re
sisted with determination.
The Japanese force passed the night
In battle formation and another as
sault was mado on Monday at dawn
By 8 o'clock Monday morning Yangse
pass and the surrounding heights had
teen captured.
General Kurokl explains the slow-
ness of these actions by saying that
the difficult topography of the battle
fields made It impossible to secure
good artillery portions, and that the
great heat fatigued his troops.
Heavy Japanese Locses.
A telegram from Chefoo says that ac
cording to Chinese Information a fierce
battle was fought on tho land sldo of
Port Arthur Aug. 5. Tho Japaneso are
reported to have been repulsed with
great loss, tho killed alone being est!'
mated at 10.000, whllo the Russians
lost about 1.500.
This Is admittedly on Chinesci Infor-
mation which heretofore has proved to
bp of exceedingly doubtful value. But
with Russian losses of 1,500 as a basis
Lusslan authorities consider that 10
000 Is a fairlv conservative estimate
since the Japanese were beaten off In
what must have been a desperate is
fault on tremendously strong fortifl
cations. The fact that the Japanese
were not able to remove their dead
and wounded Is taken to prove tha:
their defeat must have been one of
p.reat severity.
Exciting Torpedo Boat Fight.
Admiral Togo reports ro the mikado
an exciting torpedo boat destroy
er nslit off Port Arth.ir on the
evening of Aug. 5. The Japanese f.e
etroyers Akabono and Ohosa ap
proached tho entranco of the harbor
for the ptirposo of rejonnor.ering,
Fourteen Russian destioycrs dashed
out and endeavored to surround tho
Vjpanose boats. Tho latter broke
through the cordon, however, driving
off three of the Russian boats. At
this o'ltn! the Japanese destroyer
Innsiiiii.'. joined the other two am1
the tli'"0 attacked the Russian boats
vhich rnti'-ed within the harbor. Tie

nights for Antonio Beracclo, a work
man who was employed In a quar

being found at the bottom of a hundred-foot
crevice in the rocks of tie
Palisades.
The man had fallen while at work
In the quarry and his body was so
jammed between the converging sides
of the crevice that he could move only
his arms. For two days and two
nights he had shouted for help.

PLUNGES FROM TRESTLE
One of the Greatest Railway
Disasters In History.
Two Crowded Passenger Cars, Loco
motive and Baggage Car Engulfed
In a Swollen Creek by Breaking of
Bridge 76 Bodies Recovered, of
Whom 49 Were Recognized.
Pueblo, Col., Aug. 9. Two carloads
of human freight plunged Into the rag
ing torrent that destroyed the trestln
over the usually dry arroyo known as
Steele's Hollow, near Eden, about S
o'clock Sunday evening. Two sleep
ing cars and the dining car stopped
at the brink of the hungry chasm tilled
with a boiling, seething current that
Quickly snuffed out probably 100 Uvea.
So quietly had the catastrophe been
enacted that the occupants of the three
cars remaining on the track did not
realize that an accident had occurred
until they alighted from the train.
Then they were utterly powerless to
render assistance to the victims who
had disappeared In the rushing wa
ters. Last Words of Engineer Hindman.
On the lookout for danger, warned
by the squally clouds and heavy rains
to the north, Engineer Charles Hind
nau was running cautiously, about 15
miles an hour, as he approached the
arroyo, which was spanned by a bridge
9C feet In length. Tho condition ol
the bridge was not known until th9 lo
comotive, one of the monster passen
ger type, had nearly crossed.
Fireman Frank Mayfield, with a
torch that the engineer and the lire
roan had burning to ascertain the con
Ollion of the track, was In the gang
way. When Engineer Hindman felt
the tremor In the great machine and
caught a glimmer on the water he
shouted his last words: "Put out that
torch," evidently thinking that lu the
accident he felt certain wai coming
the llames would serve to spread fire.
But before Mayfield could obey,
while the words were still on the Hp3
of the doomed man and his hand seek
ing the mechanism controlling the air,
the bridge gave way and the locomo
tive dropped with the hissing of stenm
?0 feet to the bottom of the arroyo
crosswise to the track.
The baggage car. smoking car and
chair car followed the locomotive into
the stream and were swept away. All
the occupants of these cars except
three men perished, and had not the
roof nf thfe chair car burst asunder,
none would have escaped.
The fireman, as the locomotive went
over, was thrown out and, managing to
grasp a piece of wreckage from the
bridge, floated with that to a curve,
made by the caving bank and crept
out nf the water. He ran toward
Eden, meeting on the way Operator F.
M. Jones and his wife, who already
had started up the track.
"Notify Pueblo," came the voice of
the running man, "the train's gono
down and everybody is killed."
Even as he spoke, relates the opera'
tor, there were cries coming from tha
distance. Tho two men ran to where
tho bridge had been to search in vain
for victims of the disaster. When they
reached the spot all cries for help had
ceased.
Four Men Escaped From Wreckage.
Relief trains with physicians, wreck
ing and pile driving nutlita and scores
of workmen were hurried from tin
city. The first train from the wreck
came In shortly after midnight with
J. M. Klllin of Pueblo, II. S. Gilbert.
Tony Fisher and Freman Mayfield.
These were four men in the midst of
the wreck who escaped.
When dawn came the wonder grew
that four had been permitted to
emors? from the raging torrent with
breath still In their bodies.
The end of the Pullman car Wyota
extended four feet over the brink
while broken timbers and twisted
rolls hung ttill further. The arroyo
had been widened to more than 100
feet at the point where the bridge hnd
bepn. The water tore a zigzag course
across the praliie to a depth of 30
feet In several places. There was left
of the baggage car a few rods, a truck
or so. dimly seen In the muddy water,
and a half buried iron safe.
The great locomotive, the boiler
fi-fe of the trucks, the cab and tank
gone, lies where It fell.
A quarter of a mile to the east,
where this gorge of death debouched
Vnto the Fountain, lay the chair car,
windows gono. three-fourths filled with
mud and sand. A hundred feet furth
er on was the smoker, bottom up
against a sand bar. A irfl feet further
on in tho bed of Ihe Fountain was the
coal tender of the engine, and from
that point on for four or five miles
vestiges of the coaches, the eiigluo
and tender stuck up from the bed of
the stream or lay along tho shore or
on the islands.
Red plush seats of the smoker were
Miewn all along t ln stream. Brass
rails from the cunrhe.s were found in
the sand a half mile from the biidir.i
r.r.d pieces of the Ingg.'ige ear s'uek
rut of the water in several places.
Hits of clothing, coals, skills and
vomen's hats were found In the Wriish
along the shore and the searchers
scanned the foliage for bodies. Masse
of earth Ivd caved in from the high
sides of th' river at many places and
(."archers irissed these with fear that
bodies were buried under them which
they were helpless to reach.
Five hundred men scanned every
l u ll of the river and lis surroundings
a few timers after daylight. They
waded In the stream and carried out
mud begrimed bodies which were
found at widely separated points,
some of them miles from the aceno
of the accident.
The first of the corpses recovered
were those of Miss Irene Wright and
little Dorothy Johnson, sister-in-law
and daughter respectively of Harry
Johnson of Pueblo. An unknown wo
man lay beside them. Englner Hind
man was found with his watch still
running a few feet further down the
itream.
All day long stretchers with sand
covered, dripping burdens were car
ried every few minutes to the railroad
tracks where tho death train awaited
them. While It was still dark axes
had been used cn the half buried cars
at the junction of the creek with the
Fountain and at daylight this work was
resumed on the smoking car which
lay out In the Fountain, where mea
were compelled to wade almost to
their waists to reach it.
A few moments' search and clearing
away of the floor of the car revealed
the wounded head of a young man In
his shirt sleeves.
A second party further down the
river found several persons entangled
In a mass of debris thought to have
been part of the baggage car, which
was literally torn to pieces. In a
short time a large number of bodies
were dug out of tho sand here. One
woman was completely burled, save
one foot which Btuck above the water.
Some bodies were found lodged In
the shrubbery along the banks, others
in the wreckage In midstream and
many half burled with only an arm or
a bit of clothing to reveal their where
abouts. It required eight strong men
to lift the water soaked body of one
woman to the shore and a skirt and a
bat found on the bank could scarcely
he lifted with the fingers of one hand.
Many of the bodies were almost
naked. Many of them were slightly
bruised, probably from the first shock
of the wreck, but there was little blood
visible when they were removed from
the stream. Without doubt the great
majority were drowned like rats in a
trap when the cars plunged without a
moment's warning Into the whirling
water 35 feet deep, 100 feet wide and
with a current strong enough to carry
thousands of pounds of weight nearly
a mile before subsiding.
How many perished never will be
definitely ascertained, for the trencher-
tus sands are drifting over the bodies.
Searching for the dead was begun on
an extensive scale and still is in pro
press. All corpses found were brought
to Pueblo and placed in four morgues
here.
At 8 o'clock this morning 70 bodies
had been recovered and of these 49
had been identified. Bodies were re
covered all the way along Fountain
river from the scene of the wreck tc
tills city. Two bodies were taken from
the stream at First street. Pueblo,
more than eight miles from the point
where the disaster occurred, and It
Is probable that some may pven be
recovered even further down stream.
None of the bodies Is badly mutil
ated and all are In such condition as
to hp recognizable. Many Identifica
tions have by articles found on the
bodies, no persons who viewed them
recognizing the features.
