Japanese War Ottics Publishes Charges Against Russians. Tokio, July 20.—The Jspanese wsr office has made public a statement charging the Russians with violation of recognized rules of warfare. The statement alleges that on two occasions tbe white flag haa been violated; that once a Russian column fired persistent ly on a field hospital where the Red Cross flag was flying conspicuously, thus compelling the Japanese to remove the hospital amidst great danger. Twice, it is alleged, the Russians fired on the men of the Japanese hos pital corps, although their badges could readily be distinguished, On three oc casions Japanese have «>ee-i stabbed, slashed and mutilated. - On one occa sion the Russians are declaied to have stolen cattle and horses from nonconi- batants and to have violated women. It is also claimed that numerous cases can be cited ^here the Russians have wantonly fired on the Japanese wounded and that they have refused to premit parties who were succoring the wounded on both sides to go unmolest ed. These chargee are made by General Oku and it is stated that further chargee will be made, growing out of the experiences of General Kuroki’s army. In explaining the publication of these charges, the Japaanese general staff states that they had no desire to take such action, but in view of Rus- sia’s charges that they made through the French papers there was rothing else left tor them to do.

Liao Yang, July 18.—Genera) Sam- sonoff seriously checked the Japanese advance in the direction of Yinkow on July 11. HisCoasicks ambushed the Japanese column, anti put 1,000 out of action. The Japanese attempted to advance to Yinkow along the coast, but they were hindered by the marshy country, which also increased their difficulties in carrying off their dead and wounded during the retreat. The Russians had expected a move ment in this diretion. and a company of cavalry with two guns lay in am bush in the high grass, catching the Japanese in the remotest part of the coast and shattering their advance col umn. The artillery fire of the Rus sians Was splendid and the Japanese were unable to make effective reply. They were forced to retreat. The Russian losses were six killed and seven wounded. St. Petersburg, July 19.—Experts who recently were inclined to criticise General Kuropatkin's management of affairs in the Far East declare, as the situation develops, that bis strategies have proved, so far, beyond reproach. He has successfully tided over a press ing danger—how pressing only those in close touch with the Far East realize. Hie apparent mistaken, like the pro longed resistance offered by Lieutenant I General Zassali'ch on the Yalu, turn | out to be acts of the highest military judgment. General Kuropatkin I hen had so few Japanese Flag la Hoisted. New York, July 18.—The Japanese have hoisted their national flag on Rose island, in Chemulpo harbor, says a Herald dispatch from Seoul, Corea. The Corean fortifications thereon are still permitted to fly the Corean ensign, but this is dwarfed by the larger em- bem of Japan. Native agitation against the granting of a concession covering the stream and vacant land rights lontinues unabated, alhough the Japanese minister is still pressing the Corean foreign office to a favorable con clusion, stating that the Coreans lack the finances the executive ability requisite to a proper development ot these resources. Salvage operations continue on the sunken Russian cruiser Variag. It is hoped to have her on an even keel this menth. The work of raising the sunk en merchantman Sungari is rapidly proceeding.

TRAirr WITH A FREiaiijr?-* _______ ' "ajuwr- ' t . c Twenty-Two People Are Killed and Seventy Others Injured, Many of Whom Are In Serious Condition- Curve la Road Conceal» Danger From Engineer. Chicago, July 15.—Thia evening 22 members of the Sunday school of Do remus Congregational church at Thir ty-first and Butler streets, went to death with joy in their hearts and a hymn on tlieir lips. Seventy people, mostly children, members of the same Sunday school, were maimed and mangled at the same time. The carnage occurred in a collision on the tracks of the Chicago A Eastern Illinois railroad between Chicago Heights and Glenwood, 25 miles from Chicago. Today was tire annual picnic of the Sunday school, and, as in former years, several hundred of the children, with their parents and friends, had gone to tha picnic grounds at Mo mence, III., for the day. The picnic was over and the train was on the re turn to Chicago when the accident oc curred. Two accidents combined to maae the disaster. The first was the breaking down of a freight train on the north bound track, on which the excursion train shculd have proceeded after leav ing Chicago Heights, and the other was the breaking of a coupling on a te»ond freight train. Because the first train had blocked the rightful track the excursion train switched to the south-bound track to run for four miles until it should have passed the station of Glenwood just north of Chicago Heights. As it tore along the track at the rate of 40 miles an hour it rounded a sharp curve and came full upon the second train, which was backing up on the south-bound track in order to take up its lost cars, and trying at the same time to keep out of the way of the com ing picnic train, which it believed was on tlie north-bound track. There was no time for more than the setting the brakes, then, with unslack ened Bpe<‘d, the train, with its load of 500 men, women and children, crashed at full speed into the freight. There was a shock, a shriek, and over 20 souls were in eternity. ARMIES CLOSE IN. Japanese Will Attack Ta Tche Klae— Victory Will Compal Evacuation. fit. Petersburg, July 15.—Steadily and cautiously General Oku’s army from the south, and General Nodixu’s army from the east, are closing in on Ta Tche Kiao, where General Kuropat kin is reported to Ire entrenched. One hundred and thirty thousand inen are involved in the movement. The next few days will determine to what extant General Kuropatkin intends to make a stand at Ta Tche Kiao, possession of which by the Japanese would compel the immediate evacuation of Niu Chwang. The outposts ot tire armies are scarcely 15 miles apart. The slowness of the advance is apparently due to the nat ural difficulties in the way of a rapid movement of the Japanese eastern flanking columns. Lieutenant General Sakharoff reports that General Knro is massing his troops near the Pkhamlin pass and moving out by both roads upon Hai- cheng. Heavy pressure from thia quarter would render Ta Tclre Kiao un tenable. All the Japanese energies now seem to Ire concentrated on Ta Tcha Kiao and Haicheng. The operations to the north, which throughout may have been feints, have been suddenly suspended. Immense Meat Shipment Conclude«. Minneapolis, July 15.—Advires re- cieved at Northern Pacific headquarters states that the heaviest order ol canned meat to ctosn the Pacific hae been suc cessfully delivered on the Pacific Coast and loaded alroard the steamer Shaw mut for transportation from Puget sound to Yokohama. The shipment consists of a rush order for 1,000,000 pounds of canned beef for the sulraist- ance department of the Japanese army. It was handled from Chicago by the Northern Pacific in special trains of 40 refrigerator cars. Britain May Protest. London.

Petersburg. Japan Breathes Basler. Tokio, July 15 —It ia thought by the treaty Iretween England and Germany removes all possibility of a coalition against Japan, and insures that pro gressive Anglo-German amity on which the peace of the world has latterly de pended. Japan would view with »qua namity the extension of “Pacific •one" to include Russia, since such a development would in nowise hinder the fulfillment of Japanese purposes. r
