At various hospitals where the in- jured are it was said their conditions was satisfactory. There are now only 53 victims of the disaster in the hos- pitals. Over 1,500 passengers a picnic party from St. Mark's Gor. I Lutheran church, were starting outing, when flames sud- burst out, started by the over- 1g of a pot of grease in the kitch- en. Fanned by the breeze, the flames spread with awi{ul rapidity and within a few minutes nothing was left to the passengers except to choose hetween death by fire or drownins. Wiid. with terror, women dren jumped overboard into the river. They did not wait for life pre- servers, but in a mad rush to escape the flames shoved o against the frail railing of the decks, which gave way. They were drowned. The fire started in the forward part of the General Slocum, which is a craft. ahout feet long. It spread with such rapidity that the efforts of ihe crew were utterly inadeguaté to cope with the flames and in a few moments the fire had been communi- cated to all parts of the boat. At the extreme eastern end of Ran- dall’s island, off One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, there is a stretch of water known as the Sunken Mead- ows. At this point, just as .crowds were watching the gaily decorated steamer from the shore, the Gen. Slocum took fire, and as the age of the vessel, she was built in 1891, had re- sulted in the well-seasoning of the wood, with which she was almost en- tirely built, she was scon a mass of flames. The fire is said to have broken out fn a Junch room on the forward deck through the overturning of a wot of grease. The wing was high and all efforts to subdue the fire were futile.

They Had Taken Refuge From the : Storm Under a Tree. Four boys standing under a tree near Felton, three miles from Chester, Pa., were killed by a stroke of light ning. The dead are Ross Smith, 13 gears old, scn of the owner of the farm; Alexander Fullerton, 13 years old, Feiton; William Davis, 14 years old, Urland; Samuel Clark, 15 years old, colored, Chester. About a dozen boys went from Fei- ton to pick cherries on the Ss ith farm. Farmer Smith told hi son, Ross, who was about to go to Sunday = school, to order away any boys he might see at the cherry trees. On the way young Smith met Fullerton, Davis and Clark. As they approached the cherry trees the dozen boys from Felton ran away. A storm was coming up and the four other boys went un- der one of the trees. They had been there only a few minutes when light ning struck the tree. Smith, Fullerton and Davis were instantly killed. The colored boy was so badly injured that he died on the way to a hospital. RAISULI'S REASONS. Bandit Tells Why He Captured Perdi- caris and Varley. A Moorish courier brought a mes- sage to Tangier in which the Bandit Raisuli says: “The cause of the present trouble . between me and the Government is the heuse of Absadek, Governor of Tangier, who is now deposed, and his uncle and relations who have held the Governorship of Tangier for genera- tions. Absadek and his President have for years persecuted by fire and | sword my people with his soldiers. He | our | killed our young boys, spoiled young girls, mutilated children and robbed us.

The Russian hope of relieving the pressure on Port Arthur by threaten- ing the rear of Gen. Oku, the com- mander of the Japanese forces invest- ing the Russian stronghold, came to | end at Telissu, a point on the railroad 50 miles North of Kin Chou and 25 miles North of Vafangow, when the Russians were outmaneuvered, en- veloped and sweepingly defeated. They left more than 500 dead on the | field and the Japanese captured 300 | prisoners and 14 quick-firing field iguns. The Rugsians retreated hastily to the northward. The Japanese charge that the Rus- sians violated the Japanese flag. uer- tain officers aver that during the fight- ing a body of Russian soldiers appear- ed carrying a Japanese fiag and that the Japanese artillery, deceived by this flag, ceased firing on that particu- lar body of Russians. Official dis- patches from the Japanese command- ers made specific charges of this flag violation. Early estimates of the Japanese losses at Telissu say that 1,000 men were killed and wounded. In his report the Russian command- er, Gen. Stakelterg, does not attempt to conceal the seriousness of his losses but his report and the reports from all other Russian sources agree that the retreat was in no sense.a rout. The fierce character of the fight is made evident by the fact that the Rus- siang were again forced to abandon { their guns, thus indicating, as in pre- vious encounters, the superiority of the Japanese artillery. The war office declines to accept the Japanese fig- ures unreservedly, although the offici- | als frankly admit that they believe the | Russian casualities were severe. The keenest interest is now man.iested in the reported advance of two Japanese divisions from Sin Yen, with the in- tention of taking Gen. Stakelberg in | the rear. It is realized that if this re- | port should prove true, the Russian commander may be unable to extri- cate himself, and tuat if he should be | cut off from Gen. Kuropatkin’'s main army the fate of the detachment would be sealed. RUSSIANS FLED. | Leave 1,000 Dead on Field and Re. treat in Disorder. A dispatch to the London Daily Ex- press from Tokyo, dated June 15, says news has been received there, but has not yet been officially published, of a great Japanese victory near Fu- Cheu, on the railway, 70 miles north of Port Arthur. The Russians, it is added, were overwhelmed, lost 1,000 men, and retreated in disorder. The Daily Chronicle’s correspondent at Tokyo cables the same news, add- ing that the Russians to the number of 7,000 men are now in full flight to- ward Tashi-Chau and Kai-Chau. | | | | { | | | 1 | | fae SUNK BY TORPEDOES. Two Japanese Transports Destroyed and 1,000 Men Lost. All doubt as to the sinking of the transports Hitachi and Sado by the Russians has been removed. Three hundred and ninety-seven survivors of the Hitachi have arrived at Moji and 153 survivors of the Sado have arrived at Kokura. The survivors report that the Sado and Hitchi were sunk by tor- pedoes. Details shows that the Hitachi and the Sado met three Russian warships near Iki island at 10 o'clock Wednes- day morning. The Russians fired on the Japanese ships and stopped them and socn afterward they torpedoed and sank the helpless transports. It is reported that the transports carried only 1,400 men. If this is true, the loss in lives is probably less than 1,000. The transports, however, had many horses and large quanties of supplies on board. | The captain of the Sado and several other men were captured. More than 100 men escaped in the boats and land- ed at Kikura. | A message has been received here from Hagi saying that the survivors |of the Hitachi had drifted north to Shimonoseki and been saved. The transport Teun is still missing. Wants $30,00C Damages.
