RUSSIAN ACCOUNT OF THE WAFONGKAU FIGHT ST. PETERSBURG, June 7. General Kuropatkin telegraphs to the Emperor, under the date of June 4, as follows: "Fuller reports give particulars of the affair near Wafongkau station May 33. A detachment of Russian cavalry, consisting of dragoons. Cossacks and mounted chasseurs with a battery on their way from Vanzalon, were informed that two companies of the fron tier guard were engaged with the enemy occupying a position rear the village of Yondziatun. A portion or our cavalry aa vanced towards Wafengkau, w'hile two squadrons of dragoons were sent to support the frontier guard, and .one company of chasseurs was sent to protect and reconrve'ter on our right flank In the valley of Fu-Chau. After accomplishing this mission the chasseurs and a company of Cossacks forced t.e right Hank of our position. "Toward 1 o'clock the enemy began to debouch In considerable force from Lutsla tun with the object of attacking our ad vauce line. Two companies of Siberian Cossacks crossed the railroad In front of the cavalry and attacked a squadron of the Japanese advance guard, almost' errtireiy destroying it in a haud-to-hand fight. They afterward encountered the lire of Japanese infantrv. Two squadrons of our cavalry and a battery of machine guns hurried up and then retiring drew after them a second squadron of Japanese cavalry. This squadron followed until it came in contact with a detachment of chasseurs, who succeeded In tiriug eight volleys at a fixed range into the squadron, which then fell back, having suffered considerable loss. "While retreating to the left the Japanese squadron came under the tire of a com pany of the frontier guard which had ad vanced and the squadron retired In dlsor der. Our dragoons came up at this moment, but owing to topograpnical conditions they could not participate as part of our front, but tired on ihe enemy from the heights north of Iutsiatun. "Discovering our endeavors to turn their left, the Japanese retired on a second position. Our battery got into position and .opened a successful fire on the Japanese Infantry and machine guns. Meanwhile a movement of the enemy's Infantry toward Iutsiatun was observed, and subsequently about 2 p. m. dense lines of Infantry were een occupying the crest of the heights which had been previously occupied by dragoons. Our losses were Lieutenant Von .Meyer, seriously wounded; Lieutenant IJrandt. slightly wounded; three men killed 'and forty-two wounded. It appears from a report found on the body of a Japanese ". noncommissioned officer that the b our tecnth Dragoons alone lost seventy men. "Our Cossacks were fired on . by Jananese 'infantry, occupying a fortified position on the heights near the village of Khotsia putsz. eighteen miles from Feng-Wang-Cheng. At the outset the Japanese at tempted to advance across the valley of Koaullndaypho, but were stopped by an ac curate fire from our field guns, which the Cossacks had succeeded in bringing Into position.. The Cossacks dismounted and with the aid of reinforcements and the tire of two guns, forced the Japanese to aban don their position and retire under cover of helr supports. The engagement lasted from 1 p. m. until 6 p. m. "On the Japanese side six companies took ' part, four having arrived aa reinforcements. The entrenchments of the enemy were well constructed and perfectly masked. Our cavalry worked the guns admirably.

The military attache of a first-class power has telegraphed here that General Kuropatkin's headquarters staff has moved forty miles south of Llao-Yang to a point between HalCheng and Dashitszave.

The minis try of war has received a dispatch from Lieutenant General Zllinsky, chief of staff to General Kuropatkin, dated June 3, in which he summarizes a written account by General Stoessel of events preceding the battle of Kin-Chou. "The situation May 21," says General Zll insky, "appears to have been that the Japanese army i had arrived before Mount Samrson, but had not begun the attack on the town of Kin-Chou, which was occupied by our troops. The enemy had occupied Kerr peninsula and had sent large lighters to Khumeza bay. These, however, had been obliged to retire owing tr. v,o r nt nur artillerv. Our troops oc cupied positions on the southern shores of Khumeza bay at Talien-Wan, at Nankuenllng station, at Dalny and on all the bays. The enemy's squadron blockaded the entire coast and flred heavily, sometimes upon one bay, sometimes upon another. "There was a heavy DomDarameni or rort Arthur the night of May 18, in which one oica nraa killed Mnrt four wounded. The Japanese attempted a landing at Kerr bay, but were repulsed, May 14, losing one cruiser, which was sunk. "Japanese columns began the advance southward on May 15 by two routes, marching from Sanshihpu, north of Kinchau and Kotslalan. Moving, as iney am, in ciose order, they suffered severely from our artillery fire. The Kotslalln column also came under our infantry fire, which Inflicted heavy losses. a a tho onpmr'H advance develored we perceived that they had six batteries of . ii . ii . . . artillery ana tweniy-iour oaiiauons. in view of the enemy's superiority our detachments began to retire. General Stoessel sneaks in the highest praise of the officers and men participating. , "A rorce composea oi i.osacRs anu vnaseAura rwriinled the helehts r.orth of KinChou the morning of May 17 and isolated bodies of the enemy began to appear on mnnntnino Mv IS two comDanies of infantrv attacked one hundred of our Cossacks on the western slope of Mount Sampson, but were repuiseu. "Our intelligence snowea inai me wnoie Japanese army north of San-Shi-Ll-Pu was composed of 3").uJ infantry and 1.SO cavalry. Our losses between May 5 and 21 were ten officers and ITS men. The Russo-Japanese word and phrase books found upon Japanese prisoners showed that these troops had evidently been long destined for operations against Port Arthur, as the books were specially adapted to use In and about Port Arthur and Dalny." MILITARY ATTACHES ARE WELL TREATED LI AO-YANG, June 6, 6 p. m. The military attaches are quartered near the depot in a house placed at their disposal and fitted up as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. They have been invited to dine with General Kuropatkin and receive frequent vUits from Grand Duke Boris, whose good camaraderie has made him a general favorite. Lieut. Col. Walter S. Schuyler and Capt. Carl Reichman, U. S. A., are leaving Thursday. Colonel Schuyler probably will join the Cossacks, who are In contact with the Japanese outposts north of Kin-Chou. Captain Reichman will Join one of the advanced corps. Lieut. Newton A. MeCulIy, U. S. N, Is still at Port Arthur, where he Is attached to the Russian navy. Capt. William V.

Mr. Balfour remarked that the present war was certainly raising novel questions of International war.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-At a reception in this city to-night in honor of the dele gates of the local women's clubs to the national meeting of the National Federation of Women's Clubs recently held at St. Louis, Mrs. Clara A. Colby, editor of the Woman's Tribune, dismissed the question of modern "Yellow Journalism" In the magazines and periodicals of the times when women were not supposed to form a part of the residing public. As an incident of the relation of her experiences at the world's fair, she made a brief reply to Mr. Melville E. Stone's pssertion that it is the women who areN largely responsible for the publication of scandal in the newspapers. "Mr. Stone." she stated, "said it was the women who are responsible for the Immoral lone of the modern newspapers. As a matter of fact it Is the men. The newspapers read by women." she declared, "are delivered at the homes, not bought on the streets. Modern yellow Journalism in her opinion was only a temporary reversion to the old scandalous type of publication of the days when women did not read as they do now." She predicted It would not last.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) request of J. S. Murphy, superintendent of the Findlay mine, because it was alkged that Coroner James Doran had remarked before the discovery of the Infernal machine that the death of the men was due to an accident. Later Coroner Doran explained that, although he had spoken of the disaster as an awful accident, he was convinced that a terrible crime had been committed. SHERIFF RESIGNS. Without explanation and with a suddenness that has caused great surprise. Sheriff Henry M. Robertson thi.3 afternoon resigned his position and Edward Cell was named to succeed him by the County Commissioners Bell is a member of the Citizens Alliance. City Marshal O'Connell, of Victor, has sworn in a large number of special policemen, who are patroling the streets with shotguns. Many union men have armed themselves and say they will resist with violence any attempt to run them out of town, as is proposed. Detectives have been engaged to shadow the movements of every prominent union leader n the camp. Clarence Hamlin, of the Mine Owners' Association, arrived at Victor to-day and took charge of affairs there. He declared this afternoon that the men who are responsible for the Independence outrage should be hanged from a telephone pole, and that he would be only too glad to help puli the rope if the murderers could be discovered and captured. A squad of soldiers 'under the command of MaJ. II. A. Naylor this afternoon notified all hardware and gun stores In Victor not to sell any firearms or ammunition without a permit from him or the police authorities, and then to take the name and description of the purchaser. The demand will be complied with. Among the mines that have already closed down are the Stratton Independence, the Last Dollar, the Heisa and the Shurtloff. These properties employed nearly 1.000 men. City Marshal O'Connell, of Victor, was suspended by Mayor French and Major H. M. Naylor was appointed provisional marshal. O'Connell yielded, although he was strongly urged by union miners to resist. TWO KILLED AND SEVERAL WOUNDED VICTOR, Col.,' June 6. Rioting broke out in this city this afternoon while a mass meeting was being held to discuss the murder of twelve nonunion miners by means of an Infernal machine at Independence.

DAVIS, skull fractured by blow from revolver; died in hospital. The Injured. WILLIAM HOSKINS, of Goldfleld; shot through body; may die. ALFRED MILLER, of Goldfleld; shot in body; may die. PETER FLEMING, shot. FRED STRUDEVESS, engineer at Independence mine. t PETER CRISMAN. SPUD MURPHY. "HOD" FINCH. AN UNKNOWN MAN. A number of others were slightly Injured. Several arrests were made. Secretary Clarence C. Hamlin, of the Mine Owners Association, concluding a short address, said: "I want to hear what the boys In the mines have got to say about this trouble." William Hoskins, a union miner from Goldfleld," threw up his hands and shouted: "Let me talk." At this the crowd began to hiss Hoskins and cry, "Put him out." A free-for-all fight followed and Bhootlng began. Most of the shots were directed skyward. Hoskins fell with a bullet In his body and the crowd scattered in every direction. Secretary Hamlin, who had been standing on a wagon, kept talking, unmindful of the hailstorm of bullets that whizzed about his head. After the first excitement had somewhat died away the dead and dying were gathered up. R. McGee, of Victor, who was instantly killed, had been standing on an embankment thirty feet above the men who had been fighting and was an innocent spectator. Alfred Miller and J. D. Davis were carried to the Victor Hospital, where the latter died. An eyewitness said of the shooting: "I saw them carry three men away, one shot through the head and another tfirough the arm. I think that more than five were hit." Previous to the rioting Sheriff Henry M. Robertson had been summoned to a meeting of the Mine Owners' Association in Armory Hall by a committee composed of C. C. Hamlin, secretary of the association; J. S. Murphy, manager of the Findley mine, and L. E. Hill, of the Theresa. At this meeting his resignation was demanded. He yielded to the demand. Then Edward Bell was appointed by the County Commissioners to fill out Robertson's unexpired term. Robertson was a union miner before he was elected sheriff. Bell is a member of the Citizens Alliance. Nearly all mines In the district had been closed by order of the Mine Owners Association, and hundreds of miners flocked into town from the surrounding hills. Fully 1,200 supporters of the association gathered about the armory, where it was meeting. At the same time 1,000 men, armed with all sorts of weapons, were assembling on the vacant ground at the corner of Victor avenue and Fourth street in response to a call for a mass meeting. Most of these were union men, who declared their intention to resist to the death any attempt to run them out of the district. City Marshal O'Connell hurriedly swore in several hundred citizens, most of them union men, as deputy policemen, after being refused admission to the mine owners headquarters. After a conference with Sheriff Bell and a number of mine owners. Mayor Frank IX French removed City Marshal O'Connell, who then dismissed his deputies. m Then followed the rioting, in which McGee was killed and at least six persons Injured. After the rioting began Sheriff Bell ordered out all the soldiers in the district. He also appointed 100 deputies. Soldiers have already arrested a trio of editors and printers of the Daily Record and City Marshal O.'Connell and put them in the bull pen. All wealthy mine owners are carrying guns. SOLDIERS FIRED INTO UNION MINERS' HALL DENVER, June 6. Adjutant General Bell has been informed by telepnone from Victor that an attack was made late this afternoon on Miners Union Hall by a squad of soldiers. Major Tcylor sent guards to aid in quelling the disturbance. When the uniformed men swung into Fourth street they were fired upon from houses on both sides 0i the street. They returned the tire and raced on at a double quick until they were near the Miners' Union Hall. At that joint the mob scattered, and as the soldiers

halted several shots were fired at them from the windows of the hall. The doors of the building had been loft open ar.d a dozn guardrmen fired into the hall as fast as they could work their riP.es." After a few volleys the order to take the place by 'assault was given, ar.d they jumped in. It was reported to General Bell that a numb-r of men were killed, but none of the guardsmen was injured. Th detail of guardsmen was In command of Captain Harry C. Moore, of Cripple Creek. A special to the News savs that no one was killed in the attack, but the following were injuted: Peter Calderwood. Edward McKeivey. Arthur Parker. Thomas McManus. They were nil shot In the legs. There were about sixty miners in the hall. Soldiers stationed In the streets and on roofs of buildings across the street fired

volleys through the curtained windows of the union hall. After exhausting their am- i munition In return fire the miners came downstairs with hands uplifted and with a white flag. They were surrounded by soldiers and escorted to the bull ren. From all accounts, about 175 men are now held In the military prison. o RcQiient for Milltiu. DENVER, Col., June 6. "No request has been made on me for troops from Teller county officials, and there will be nothing done in the way of ordering out the Guard until the legal demand is made," said Lieutenant Governor Haggett, who is acting Governor of the State while Governor Pea body is in St. Louis. "I will not anticipate the request in any way, and not until I am olflcially notified that the authorities cannot deal with the situation will any troops be sent to Teller county to investigate the situation there." GOVERNOR PEABODY WILL HASTEN HOME ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 6. A number of telegrams from S. II. Wood, private secretary of Governor James II. Peabody, of Colorado, awaited the latter's return to the Planters' Hotel from the world's fair to-night. Almost the first statement made by Governor Peabody was that he deplored the happenings In the mining town of Victor, and that he would leave St. Louis for Colorado on the Burlington at 2:15 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. One of the telegrams opened by the Governor read: "Gabbert and Campbell (chief justices) say you have right to decide when peace Is Interfered with, and courts should not interfere with. you. That you have power to kill and imprison. Habeas corpus or martial law not mentioned in opinion." This message was signed by Mr. Wood. "You see," exclaimed the Governor, after reading this telegram, "the Supreme Court sustains me, and those fellows are taking an iconoclastic view of things. They realize now they are beaten, and their only hope is in intimidating the men who are willing to work." Governor Peabody was almost jubilant over the opinion handed down by the Supreme Court. "I have contended all along," he said, "that I had the right to suspend writs of habeas corpus in case of a riot or Insurrection. This J.-? the first time the Supreme Court has ever sustained this Idea, although it has been advanced any number of times. Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln all tried to sustain writs of habeas corpus on occasions during their administrations, but their action was never sustained. "I have but little hope that things will settle down before I get back home. My wife and I are going to take the first train to-morrow. I have great faith, however, in the militiamen who are stationed at Victor and Cripple Creek. There are only 160 of them, but all are tried and trusty veteransthe pick of the Colorado National Guard. If things assume an aspect worse than that at present Lieutenant Governor Haggott knows Just what to do. I have two thousand more militiamen who can be hurried Into Ihe towns of Goldfleld, Victor, independence and Cripple Creek. I am out of my jurisdiction and consequently powerless to give any instructions to my assodates In Colorado right now. This does not weigh on me, however, as I believe they will do all that I could if I were there to personally administer affairs," C. H. MOYER DENIED HABEAS CORPUS WRIT DENVER, June 6. The State Supreme Court to-day refused the application for a writ of habeas corpus for Charles IL Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, who is held as a military prisoner at Telluride by order of Governor James H. Peabody. The Governor's action in declaring martial law in San Miguel county. Imprisoning Moyer and other union men on the ground that they had incited Insurrection and rebellion, suspending the writ of habeas corpus and ignoring the authority of the local courts as seems necessary to him in maintaining law and order, is sustained. Chief Justice Gabbert and Justice Campbell concurred in the decision. Justice Steele dissented. The opinion of the court was given by Chief Justice Gabbert. Its main points are as follows: The Governor has sole power to determine when a state of Insurrection exists in any county In the State. The courts have no power to Interfere with his exercise of this prerogative. The Governor has the right to use the military forces of the State to suppress insurrection. He also has the power to order imprisonment and the killing of insurrectionists if in his opinion that extremity is necessary. He can detain military prisoners until he decides that the insurrection is quelled. The courts of the State have no Tight to interfere with the military authorities and their handling of prisoners. They have no power to attempt to discharge military prisoners. The contention of the appellant that the military prisoners should Im turned over to the civil authorities is characterized by the court' as absurd. , The question which the court was asked to decide was of such vast importance to the State that seven prominent lawyers were asked as advisory counsel to submit opinions. Charles Hughes, one of these. It is understood, did not send In any opinion. The other six split evenly. Those who sustained the position of the Governor were Attorneys I. M. Goddard, Piatt Rogers and A. C. Field. Former Governor Charles S. Thomas, Leroy Stevick and Harvey Riddle dissented from the opinion of the court. An Appeal to the President. TELLURIDE, Col.. June 6.

Hogg as counsel, and, acting under his advice, have decided to remain here until forced to leave. The following telegram has been sent to President Roosevelt at Washington, to which no reply has yet been received: "Have been ordered to leave our homes by July 7, but do not Intend to go. We as citizens of the United States demand your protection under the constitutional rights. The ciil courts would protect us, but they are powerless. The Governor will not protect us. "O. A. FLOATEN.

The Western Federation of Miners will Investigate to-day's outrage. At the session of the Federation's convention to-day a committee, consisting of C. C. Mitchell, of South Dakota, C Mahoney, of Montana, and Harry L. Lane, of Nevada, was appointed to go to the Cripple Creek district and make a thorough investigation of the affair and to spare no one in its report.. The committee which was rent to Cripple Creek last week to report on conditions there reported to the convention today. The report says that the mine owners admit that they are not getting anything like the returns they did before the strike. The committee found a great many men employed, almost as many as before the strike on come properties, but the returns were not nearly so large proportionately. The miners are beginning to stand firm and the committee could suggest no change in the policy which had been pursued. The secretary of the Mine Owners Association had made the claim that if the matter had been put to a referendum vote of the local union, there would have been no strike. Rut the committee found that the local unions had considered the strike and referred the matter to the district union, which "had advised the calling out of the men. To-night the committee appointed to investigate the explosion at the Findley station last night met at Federation headquarters. A statement will be given out tomorrow. The question of offering a regard or appropriating money for an independent effort to apprehend the guilty persons has not been decided.
