Doubtless its capture will cost dearly, but that is inevitable. News of the capitulation of the fortress will come soon." If the Japanese take Port Arthur and defeat Gen. Kouropatkin at Liao- yang, continued the ex-minister, they certainly would march north. He would not say they would go as far as Harbin. That is a long way. They would not fortify Mukden, but would occupy a strategical position a short distance to the north. The Jap­ anese certainly would go to Vladivos­ tok.

London, June 13.--The Daily Mail's correspondent at Japanese headquar­ ters, telegraphing under date of June 11, says a strong Japanese column has occupied Suenchow, eighty-five miles east of Mukden. St. Petersburg Credits Rumors of Naval Victory. St. Petersburg, June 13.--Rumors are in circulation here to the effect that a great naval battle has taken place off Port Arthur, in which two Russian and four Japanese battleships weer sunk. No confirmation of the rumor can be obtained. fortress, when he ran into a fog. It is asserted that Skrydloff found sev­ eral Japanese torpedo ooats and two battleships confronting him. The Jap­ anese attacked fiercely and inflicted some damage. The Russians returned the fire, but as none of the Port Ar­ thur ships appeared, as Admiral Skryd­ loff had hoped and expected, he re­ turned to Vladivostok, which was reached by the squadron at 8 o'clock Friday morniiife. On the other hand, another St. Pe­ tersburg rumor' declares that the Vlad­ ivostok squadron is reported to consist of three cruisers and four battleships.

Haicheng, Manchuria, June 11.-- (Delayed.)--A flanking movement of the Japanese around the Russian left from Fengwalhgcheng June 9 was re­ pulsed, with a loss of two whole bat­ talions. A large Japanese force moved out in the morning along the Fengwang- cheng and Haicheng road. The Rus­ sians had a force strongly posted in a ravine thirty miles southeast of Hai­ cheng. The JapeneBe were preceded by two battalions, who walked into the Rus­ sian ambuscade. They received a mur­ derous rifle and artillery fire at close range and were wiped out, only one or two escaping. The main Japanese force, which was greatly superior to the Russian force, tried to outflank the Russians, who drew off without losing a man. The Japanese, closing in, found the ravine vacant save for their own dead. Capture of Port Arthur Looked Upon as Certain. ^. ,1^0^]ucl9jx. Jupe 9.--The Great North­ ern CfciWe 'company announces that the cable connecting Japan and Co- rea is interrupted. This prevents any communication between the Llao- tung peninsula and the rest of the world. The sudden interruption of the ca­ ble between Corea and Japan is con­ sidered significant of the imminence of important operations at Port Ar­ thur, the Japanese having taken pre­ caution, as usual, to cut the only means of communication with the outside world and thus enable her na­ val and military forces to work with absolute secrecy. It seems certain that there has been heavy firing on Port Arthur, on Japanese Forces Pushing Closer to Porfc^jArthur. London, June 13.--A dispatch to t^e Express from Nagpwkt via Shanghai says that information from a high source is to the effect that Japanese engineers are sapping their way to­ ward the fortifications at Port Arthur.

An eccentric old householder, who spent nearly all his time in his Lon­ don suburban garden, had practically only one acquaintance in the world, a young medical man, who occasionally attended him. Regardless of other people as he had liitherto seemed, the old man, as he neared his end, ap­ peared to view life with kindlier eyes, and before he died he remarked that he hoped someone would remember him and how he had been used to sit in his favorite open-air corner, says Cassell's Journal. The young doctor, sympathetic, and also a good man of business, after the old fellow's decease, secured his late residence as being well Buited for a medical practitioner. Recalling the old gentleman's longing that he might not be forgotten, he, with his own hands, planted a sapling, "in memori- am," in the corner of the garden where the late owner had so often sat. And, while excavating a place for the roots, the doctor unearthed an ft! GCM fTEr KUPQAT/ which Gen. OKU is tightening his grip day by day. European opinion is now more unanimous than ever that the fortress must fall. The only point now debated is whether the Japanese after a short and furious bombard­ ment, will take it by assault, sacri­ ficing the necessary lives for the sake of the time to be gained, or wait long- iron box containing 500 sovereigns, be­ queathed in writllflfc by the dead eccen­ tric "to the finder." Russian Battleship Will Make Dash From Harbor. St. Petersburg, June 11.--It is be­ lieved that when the fall of Port Ar­ thur becomes imminent the fleet will make a dash from the harbor. After the Japanese fleet has been engaged the uninjured Russian ships will try to effect a juncture with the Vladi­ vostok squadron. The attempt may occur at the first favorable opportu­ nity. The squadron is useless for the defense of Port Arthur, while if pre­ served entire or In major portion, even the fall of Port Arthur would be robbed of much of its importance. Volunteers Cut Mine Wires at Battle of Nanshan Hill. Tokio, June 10.--Wounded officers who have returned to Japan from the Liaotung peninsula give interesting de­ tails of the battle of Nanshan hill. Af­ ter the first ineffectual attack on the hill the Japanese scouts discovered that there were mines at the foot of the hill. It was determined that they oould only be located by the sacrifice of lives. Hundreds of volunteers led the second advance and found that heavy rains had washed away the cov­ ering of earth and had exposed the mines. Engineers cut the connecting wires, rendering the mines useless, and the troops sustained no loss. The volunteers, however, were nearly all killed in the subsequent ineffectual at­ tack on the hill. , The Osaka men, from the right wing, while advancing through the. water along the shore, encountered a body of Russians, also in the water. A fierce fight ensued, both sides being waist deep in the sea. When the Rus­ sians finally retreated the water was literally crimson. Both sides lost heav­ ily. In the trenches, after they had been captured, were found many articles of clothing belonging to women and chil­ dren, making it evident that the Rus­ sians inteaded tihelr defenses to be permanent. Merry-Go-Round. The Osage river in Missouri is a very crooked stream. A farmer who lived on its banks, and who had a small flatboat, loaded the boat with produce one day and floated it down to the market town, six miles away. He exchanged the produce for goods at one of the stores and loaded the goods in the uatboat. "How are you going to get your stuff home?" asked the merchant. "Gel; a 8teajnboat to tow you back?" "Koi at ail," said the farmer. "I'm going to float it back." "How is that? I don't understand." "I guess you don't know much abput this river. It doubles on Itself just below here and runs back to within less than a quarter of a mile of my house. I've "got a landing on both banks and a team of horsey that can drag the boat over from one landing to the other. Understand ro-v?"-- Youth's Companion. Togo Sends His Vessels to Draw Ffre of Enemy's Guns. Tokio, June 10.--Admiral Togo re­ ports that on Tuesday night he sent eight small torpedo boats on a recon­ naissance into Port Arthur bay. They entered far into the bay and were ex­ posed to the fire of the itussian guns. One sailor and one petty officer were killed. The boats were not damaged. Admiral Katako reports that on Monday last he landed men on the south side of Shanshantao island to reconnoiter. They found many build­ ings only partially destroyed. There were some supplies in the hospital on the island. Admiral Katako reports that the work of clearing away the mines in Talienwan lay continues. Eleven were discovered and exploded Tues­ day. On Wednesday the wrecks of two sunken ships were found and iden­ tified as those of the Boyarin, the Rus­ sian cruiser sunk on Feb. 14, and the Nonni. (No vessel of the name of Nonni appears on the Russia naval list.) GRATITUDE NOT HIS FORTE. Irishman Saw No Reason Why He Should Exert Himself. Robert Goelet, on the outskirts of Philadelphia, was recently arrested twice in one afternoon on the, charge of running his huge motor car at a speed illegally high. "I bear no grudge against the magis­ trate who fined me," Mr. Goelet said the other day. "He is an interesting and intelligent man. He said that my arrest twice on the same day showed that I regarded the law in much the same way as an Irishman be knew regarded his employer. "This Irishman, it seems, had re­ signed his job several times to better himself, and each time when he re­ turned penniless his old employer took him back. t "The magistrate met him one day. " 'Pat,' he said, after an allusion to the kind and forbearing treatment he had received, 'Pat, you can't do too much for that employer of yours.' "Pat answered lightly: " 'Arrah, neither will I.' " CIVIL WAR IN COLORADO Victor, Colo.V'dispatch: Two sharp skirmishes have taken place between the militia and union miners Wednes­ day, and one miner, John Carley, is dead. Adjt. Gen. Bell, ixrho is in absolute command, is determined to round up every union mir.er and idler in the region, and the miners mean to fight. In addition to the two skirmishes the office of the Victor Record, the newspaper organ of the Western Fed­ eration of Miners, was wrecked at 11:45 o'clock Wednesday alght. Eight unknown men armed with shotguns, rifles, plstol3 and sledge hammers entered the office of the Record and ordered the uen to throw up their hands. George Kyner, proprietor of the pa­ per, was at lunch, and Foreman Wal­ ter S>yeet was In charge. "The print­ ers were busily engaged getting out the mornirg paper when the eight armed men opened the front door and walked back to the composing room, yelling: Wreck Printing Machinery. "Line up now and throw up your hands." The masked men then wrecked two linotype machines, several job presses and all the equipment of the office. They smashed the telephone and a typewriter. When their work of ruin was complete they marched the Record employes out on the sidewalk and told them to get out of town. The printers walked north and the eight men started off toward the south. „ The first battle took place at the new camp at Dunnvllle, thirteen miles from here. It was in this fight that John Carley was killed. The second battle was*1 fought be­ tween seven soldiers sent on horse­ back to Big Hill, two miles east of Victor, and union miners they were sent to arrest. The miners were en­ trenched, and opened fire on the sol­ diers as soon as they saw them com­ ing up the hill. The soldiers returned the fire, and although 200 shots were fired no one was wounded. Seven men were captured by ths guards and taken to Cripple Creek. The troops who were in the first fight returned to Victor bringing with them fourteen >captives. It was reported before the special train left for Victor at 2 o'clock bear­ ing the force under Gpa. Bell, that the milters in the hills about Dunn­ vllle numbered about 250 men, and that it was their intention to march into Victor in a body and attempt to liberate by force the inmates of the temporary bull pen in Victor. That the force actually consisted of only twenty-one men Is the state­ ment of one of the number that was taken captive. The train proceeded to the immedi­ ate vicinity of Dunnvllle without un­ usual incident. When about a quarter of u mile distant from the Dunnville temporary station the officers could see the camp of the miners. It includ­ ed one cabin and six or seven tents. The officers left the train at the command of Gen. Bell and prepared to advance upon the £amp of the union­ ists in regular skirmish order. Gen. Belt Leads Raid. As they emerged from the cat in which the train had come to a stop they were greeted with a volley of shots which came from points in the surrounding hills. The militia returned the fire to the best advantage possible, and promis­ cuous shooting was engaged in foi ten minutes. From the character of the shooting from the hills Gen. Bell immediately recognized the fact that the strength of the miners had been greatly overestimated, and that he had sufficient force under his command to make an immediate roundup and capture the entire opposing force. Accordingly, he divided the deputies and soldiers into seven detachments, and these set out to make a complete cleanup of all the surrounding hills. Dunnville sprang into prominence last week, when it was reported that enormoas amounts of free gold had been discovered, and there was an im­ mediate rush to the place by union men, who declared that no others should be permitted in the camp. All others were barred. But the camp was of musnroom growth and the thousands who encamped there in the first two days of its existence dwin­ dled away fifty or a hundred a day. Declares Martial Law. Teller county was put under martial law as soon as Adjt. Gen. Bell and his staff arrived in Victor. He posted the proclamation on the door of the armory, where a large number of un­ ion men and sympathizers are impris­ oned. This military rule places Gen. Bell in supreme command, and he is being assisted by Col. Edward Verdeckberg. The two companies of infantry, com­ pany L of Victor and company H of this city, both of which had been called out by the local authorities be fore martial law was proclaimed, are the only soldiers yet on duty. Gen. Bell early appointed a com­ mission to try all prisoners. The com­ mission is composed of Mayor French of Victor, Capt. Gail Hoag of the Colo- ^ rado national guard, and Judge M. . Gray.

Medford, Mass., dispatch: President Capen of Tufts college has announced that the honorary degree of LL.D. would be conferred on Secretary Mpody of the navy and Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, next Wednesday. Resigns Fair Job. St. Louis special: The resignation of Louis J. Millet, chief of the depart­ ment of mural decoration of the world's fair, will take effect Jure 15. Mr. Millet's work is completed. "The prisoners will be treated fair­ ly," said Gen. Bell, in announcing the appointments. "It is not my desire to inflict upon any of them punishment that they do not deserve, and as fast as this Is practicable they will be sent away or placed in the class that will be held indefinitely. I intend that every man Innocent of the crimes that have been perpetrated ia the dis­ trict shall go free and every one who iB guilty shall be punished. I intend to have matters in shape within a short time so that every business house and every mine in the district can open and proceed with business unmolested. « Threatens Death to Strikers. -We will not bring any outside troops here unless the situation be­ comes worse than it is at present. These strikers did not appreciate ths treatment we gave them when her-» before. No resistance from them wi'l be tolerated, and if necessary they will be shot d<*wn." Gen. Bell irtimated that further df- portati0n8_wou 1 d be made soon anf. the Citfaens' Alliance and the mino owners, who are in control of tho camp and count upon the continued support of the military, have, deter­ mined to deport ail idle men Except those against, whom ii. formation charging crimes will be filed. After examining more thaa 100 wit­ nesses, nearly all of whom are pris­ oners in the "bull pen," ten of the prisoners were released by the mili­ tary commission. The witnesses were conducted to the rooms occupied by the comrrission by a strong guard of soldiers. The hearing is being held behind closed doors. Intends to Get Murderer. Sheriff Edward Bell said concerning the explosion at Independence: "I will get the murdered sure. The criminal who set that infernal death trap and killed fourteen men will be caught. I have a number of clews that are valuable, but wiH not di­ vulge them at this time. I don't be­ lieve the murderer is in the state at this time, but I can and will get him. I have no doubt but what he. is a mem­ ber of the miners' union." The man who killed Roxie McGee at the mass meeting here on Monday has been positively identified as a man named Fridley by an eye witness of the shooting, and although he has not yet been captured it is believed he cannot escape. Maj. H. A. Naylor, the new marshal of Victor, with a squadron of soldiers, was sent to search for Fridley and some companions in Straut mountains with orders to capture or kill the en­ tire gang. Information is said to have been given against him by union men who were "sweated" by Maj. T. E. Mc­ Clelland and other military officers.
