The general tff remained In Ion until almont t o'clock thla mom lag to translate and give out Oeneral fltakeiberg mg announcing the Agbt at Vafangow. Thla unusually lata hour Indicates that the authori ties attach considerable Importance to the dispatch. It Is thought here that the Vafangow a fair may trove to have been quite a heavy fight. The fart that the Rus sians held their position In the face f heavy Iosms also support this tkeory, and It Is believed It may turn ut to be a severe check to the Jap aas northern advance. The, consen sus of oplon, however, Is that the ad vance la mora In the nature of a dem- sslratloa than a preliminary to an actual attack. A special dispatch fsom Lino Tang, dated June 14, follows: "Yesterday (Monday) at the battle of Vafangow. the Japanese troop numbering 20.000, tried to pass our flank, but were discovered. We chang ed eur position, flanking the Japanese, and opened a heavy fir. The result is .unknown." The date of this dispatch does not agree with the Associated Press dis patch from Llao Yang or with Oeneral Ktakeiberg's mepnge to the emperor, both of which indicate that the battle took place on Tuesday. It Is thought Improbable that there ba been two engagement. 8t, Petersburg, June 14. Emperor Nicholas has received the following telegram from Oeneral Stakelberg, bearing today's date:, "A battle began at noon around the Russian position near Wafanhoon (Wafangow), the enemy making re peated attempts to dislodge our left flank. The attack was repelled and we retained our position. "The First regiment, occupying the left flank of our position, sustained severe losses. Us commander, Colonel Khavastounoff, and Adjutant Sub Lieutenant Dragoslaff Modochlnsky were killed. General Gernross was wounded, a shrapnel bullet shattering his right side and his lower Jaw, but 6 remained on the field."

The man agers of the Yosemite Athletic Club, before which Jeffrie and Munroe are to fight on June SO, declare that there will be no further postponement. Un less Jeffrie Is In condition by that time he must lose hi forfeit of $2500 and the titt ... champion. Harry C.nrh nd other nuallistlc expert believe that besides decreasing the betting eJ!d the OeMy will be of direct benefit to Munroe, who la aald to be constantly Impiwlng In hi work. On the other hand, Jeffries now hope to be In prime condition when he en ter the ring and hi trainer do not anticipate any further trouble with hla injured knee. AH aportdom wa thrown Into a atate of agitation last night by -the following dispatch from Harbin: "Fight will be postponed until June 14. Jeff tried to work this afternoon, but hi knee was too bad." The Yosemite Club waa thus ad dressed by Trainer Delaney. The re quest for delay had been expected and was not thought unreasonable In the circumstances. Indeed, the club went a little better than the request, made by Trainer William Delaney, and set the fight for Thursday night, June SO. In doing so the club makes the date a final one, and unless Jeffries appears that night, ready to fight, and, does fight, his forfeit of J2S0O, posted to Insure his appearance at , the time agreed upon, , will , be , claimed. , The additional six daya . should certainly give him all the time he needs. . Neith er the Yosemite Club nor Harry Pol lock, Munroe's manager, Insists that there be a fight, and Pollock demands that there be no further postpone-! ment. , , , ,-t , , , Munroe's manager, trainer and back ers are not worried over the post ponement by any means. They con tend that the miner will profit by the postponement, as he Is Improving steadily, and more time means more opportunity to learn and improve. Harry Corbett believes that the post ponement will help Munroe, and his opinion is that the odds will decrease until 2 to 1 or possibly 10 to 6 can be had by Munroe's backers. "I don't want to fight any sick man," were Munroe's words when he heard of the postponement. "If there's a fight, let It be of , the right sort, so that Thirty-Six More Sent to New Mexico by the Military Au thorities in Cripple Creek. Victor, Colo., June 14. Thirty-six men 'were deported this afternoon by the militia. The men were residents of different sections of the disti let, but lived mainly In Cripple Creek and Victor.

It Instructed delegates to vote for William R, Hearst at St Louis as long as hi name remains before the con vention. " Hearst's campaign managers, who attempted to ride Into power by the aid of hla name, received absolutely no consideration from the convention. The Harrison party, which came solely from Chicago and was pledged to support Congressman James R. Williams, was routed completely. Car ter H. Harrison was unseated as a delegate and took the train for home without going near the convention. Both his faction and the Hearst party were as not hing as com pared with the strength and skillful management af the convention exhibited by John P. Hopkins. Hopkins will continue to be chairman of the state central com mittee, Frank P. Quinn of Peoria, whom presided over the convention, both aa temporary and permanent chairman, paid absolutely no attention to tha men or motions when they did not Jib with the Interest of the Hopkins party for him to do so, and In one In stance, at least, he declared a motion carried before the Hearst and Harri son people had voted upon It. Pending the arrival of the commit tee on resolutions, the wildest confu sion prevailed n the floor and several fist fights took place between the delegates. The platform was submitted and adopted. Resolution providing for the endorsement of Hearst were not made a part of th report of tha com mittee on resolutions, but were sub mitted to the convention as separata matter. The original resolution provide practically that the Hiaois delegation should vote for Hearst until It van convenient to vote for somebody else. The substitute, offered by Clarence & Darrow, pledging th delegates to vote for Hearst as long as his name is be fore the convention waa then accept ed. The nomination of candidate waa then taken up, after which tk conven tion adjourned. NEGRESS IS ASSAULTED AND NEARLY KILLED Battl Has Commenced. London, June 14.
