Business Section Destroy? ed Yesterday Morniag. Mrs. Moseley, Proprietor of Cen? tra! Hotel Burned to Death Special to T.he State. Greenwood, May 25.-Fully one-half of the-business portion of Greenwood was wiped ont by fire e'arlythis morn? ing. The property loss will approxi mate,$133,000, with about $70,000 in? surance. Mrs. Annie Mosely, propri? etor of tbe Central hotel, lost her life in the fire. The fire originated, it is believed, in tbe kitchen of the Central hotel, located in the building owned by J. & D, M. S pige!, and occupying th 8 entire* second story. The first alarm was given at 3.15 a. m., by an engi? neer on a C. & W. C. freight train standing in the yard. The train crew was soon on the post and, the boarders were awakened by themi Mr. R. A. Abernethy, who occupied the room next to the kitchen, was almost over? come by smoke but wai able to wake Mrs. Moseley, Who was sleeping in the room next above bim. She was greatly excited and began screaming. It was supposed tbat she would at once escape as ali the others were doing. ' The fire was eating its way into tbe building with fiendish rapid? ity and tbe smoke was already filling every room. D. M. Spigel, one of the owaers of the building who has a room in the hotel, was the last one to be aroused. He escaped by making his way to the front veranda and jumping to the groud. Mrs. Moseley's .continued screams re? vealed her presence in the building, which was completely enveloped . by flame. . The few, present, having' no ladder, were under the window trying to get her to jump. Just a few min? utes before a ladder arrived her cries bushed and the red tongue cf flame filling ber "window told the horror stricken few chat her death agony had come and was over. /?BSI8BPH TBW? BURNED. Practically Whcle Business Part of Town Destroyed. Jackson, Miss, May 25.--With every business bouse of any import? ance in ashes, together with a large number of private residences, the prin? cipal hotel and tbe passen eg r depot, Yazoo City, a town of 6,000 peoplej 45 miles from Jackson, is tonight rest? ing after one of the most exciting days in its history. The ?re started at S.33 o'clock this morning atid burned until 5 o'clock this afternoon, destroying a total of 290 houses. The financial loss will be the heaviest in the history of Missis sip ni since the war. The fire was three blocks wide and 12 blocks long. The city was putting in a new system of water works and the old system which had wooden main?, was wholly inadequate to meet the department. The pipes burst all over the city and it was impossible to get the water even to the first floors of buildings. Tbe fire started in the residence of Mr. Wise, and though there is some I dispute as tr? how it originated, the j general belief is tbat it had its origin j in defective electric wires. Early in tbs day the authorities of Jackson ? were called on to render assistance ? and did so by sanding a hose cart and j one of the large engines, the run being made in 40 minutes. The Jack- j son firemen worked with might and main but could do little good. A I man by the name of Cbambliss, a j citizen of this place, was killed by j falling walls and Mayor Holmes was j very badly hurt and information from j Fazob tonight is that he is in a pre carious condition. 1 He had been in ; office but three or fonr weeks. In j the afternoon the fire jumped a bayon ! and reached Latonia, a residence sub- j urb wi'ere it destroyed some of the finest bornes. Tonight about 60 fam? ilies are homeless.

Japs Made ?r?er Naval Attack on Tuesday, but Failed to Take lt. Various Rumors, from the Land Forces on the Liao Tung Pe? ninsula. Chef co, M ay 25, 10 p. m.-A portion of^the Japanese fleet bombarded Port Arthnr at ll o'clock yesterday morn? ing. The attack was witnessed by a Frenchman, who left Daluy on the night of the 22nd and arrived here to? night. He says that eight large war? ships circled before the entrance of Port Arthur harbor for one hour, firing broadsides at intervals of ten minutes. Up to the time this Frenchman left Dalny everything was quiet there, but an attack on the part of the Japanese was expected, hourly. The military and civil officials of Dalny are ready to leave. Only a few civilians remain there. * The attempt made abont a fortnight ago to destroy.the docks and piers at Dalny was not successful and after the receipt of the news bf the loss of the Japanese battleship Hatsuse, j Lieut. Gen. Stoessel, commander of the military forces at Port Arthur, ordered that the docks and pier be not destroyed. The Japanese are in force at Pitsewo and Kin Chou and are ready to march down either side of the peninsula toward Port Arthur. The German steamer Chefoo was fired on by a Japanese cruiser in Pe Chi Li gulf today. She misunder? stood the signals of the cruiser. The Sweedish steamer Karin also was fired on during last night while off Liao Tie Shan promontory, but it is not known whence this fire came. St. Petersburg, May 25, 9.28 p. m. -No confirmation is obtainaDle here of the report from Chefoo that Port Arthur was bombarded yesterday by the Japanese fleet, but with telegraph? ic communication interrupted the au? thorities here are not in a position to question tho accuracy of the statement made. STATUS MAINTAINED. ' St. Petersburg, May 25.-Emperor Nicholas today received the following telegram from Gen. Kuropatkin dated May 24 : . "There has been no change in the general situation in the direction of Feng Wang Cheng or the gulf of Liao Tung with regard to the position of the enemy. It is established that .40,000 Japanese troops have been con ! centrated at Feng Wang Cheng and that there are four line regiments and 50 guns at Pian Min. REPORT PERSISTENT. Mukden, May 25. ll p. m.-Accord? ing to the latest information obtaina? ble, the Japanese have resumed their forward movement Several columns are advancing, though the bulk of the invading army is still near Feng Wang Cheng. . There are persistent reports ol' a bloody battle having taken place be tween the Japanese army advancing along the railroad from Pnlantien and the Russians, near Kin Chou, Liao Tung peniusula, resulting in the de? feat ol the Japanese with great loss. Small parties of Japanese scouts have been seen northeast of Mukden, at a considerable distance, but no im? portant body of the enemy has been located in this vicinity. FIGHTING RUMORED. Liao Tang, May 25.-There are fur? ther rumors of heavy fighting at the advanced positions of Gen. Frock's forces cn the Liao Tang peninsala, but the correspondent of The Press has been unable to officially confirm the reports. NEW CH WANG ISOLATED. St. Petersburg, May 25.-Telegraphic communication with New CwaDg is interrupted and private messages for points south of Liao Yang are refused here at the telegraph ofi&ce. The na? ture of the interruption with New Chwang is not known but tho cause for refusing messages south of Liao Yang isvthe complete absorption of the lines for military purposes. LOOKS MIGH?T SUSPICIOUS. St. Petersburg, May 25, 2.2-j p. m. -There are indications that Gen. Kn ropatkin is preparing to make a very important move against the enemy. One of the reasons for this belief is the suddenly increased restrictions upon the war correspondents at the front. The prevailing belief here is tbat Gen. Kuroki's army is in diffi? culties. BATTLE FOUGHT? Chefoo, May 26, lia. m.-A jauk which left Dalny-on the night of the 23rd arrived today and reports that the Japaneso army reached Sansuripo, north of Dalny, that the Russians offered a stubborn resistance, and that a battle was fought at noon on the 22nd, the result of which has not been learned. London, May 20, 4.36 p. m - A dis? patch to the Central News from Tokio says the Japanese have stormed and captured the town of Kin Chou, about 32 miles north of Port Arth; . In earlier messages the Tokio corre? spondent of the Central News cabled that Japanese spies bas ascerta;ned that tho Russians had 3D guns at Kin Chou and numerons mines and wire entanglements at all the points where Japanese attack was expected. The fighting is said to have taken place today. After the occupation of Kin Chou the Russians retired in good order to heights further south which1 were attacked /fey the full Japanese force and carried after a stubborn resist? ance. DROVE BACK RUSSIANS. London, May 2, 7.06 p. m.-The correspondent of the Central News at Tokio cables that the Japanese at? tacked Nan Qwan Ling, o.n the nar? rowest part of the Kwan Tung penin snal yesterday and drove back the Russians by main force The attack on Kin Chou, *the dispatch adds, was begun at dawn today and by noon Kin Chou was in the hands of the Japa? nese, who occupied the castle. The fighting continued during the after? noon and was of the most desperate character. It is believed the casual ' ties were heavy. HARD FIGHTING IN PROGRESS. St. Petersburg, May 26, 6.20 p. m. While no news has been received from Lieut. Gen. Stoessel, commander of the Russian troops at Port Arthur, the war office is inclined to believe that severe fighting is in progress in the southern part of Liao Tung peninsula above the narrowest point of the peninsula but no credence is attached to the reports of the Japanese having entered' the Kwang Tung peninsula, onth of and connected with the Liao Tang peninsula. This is considered impossible before the capture of Kin Chou? which it is believed here would involve long and difficult siege opera? tions. The general staff denies the rumors of the final evacuation of New Chwang and says the heavy guns were not tak?n back when the town was reoc? cupied. S No changes of importance in the positions of Gen. Kuroki or Gen. Ku ropatkin are reported. TRYNG TO BLOCK THE HARBOR. St. Petersburg, May 26.-The fol? lowing dispatch from Viceroy Alexieff dated May 26, has been received by the emperor : "Reports from Rear Admirals Witt soef and Grigorvitch today state- that j the enemy bombarded from In Gen Tsi (on the west coast of the Kwang Tung peninsula, about 13 miles north of Pert Arthur) with gunboats. (The viceroys' dispatch does not give the date of the bombardment. ) *'On the following night the Japa? nese attempted to block roadstead of .Port Arthur with mines and from shore observations it is believed that some steam launches and two torpedo boats were sunk. "Between May 18 and May 21 the Russians cleared ll of the enemy's mines from the roadstead. "The boats of the merchant steamer Amur with a dredger and a steam launch have been brought to Port Ar? thur from Dalny. ' ' BATTLE PROGRESSING. Paris, May 27.-The' St. Petersburg correspondent of The Petit Parisien telegraphs that according to a private dispatch from Liao Yang, Gen. Ku? roki's army has begun an attack on the Russian position era the Liao Yang road and that it is believed what will prove to be a decisive bafcti? is progressing. > "JAPS" HAVE BEEN BUSY. London, May 27.-The Tokio corre? spondent of The Daily Chronicle under the date of May 26, sends the follow? ing: "The Japanese have already con? structed 30 miles of light railway for the transportation of siege guns to? wards Port Arthur. \ "Around Kin Chou the Japanese have been fighting stubbornly for the pase eight days but are making little progress against the Russians who Dccupy strong positions on the heights." i Tokio, May .27-Noon.-The Japa? nese army swept the Russians from Kin I'hon yesterday morning, and in a iesperate attack stormed the almost mpre^nable position of the Russians on Nanshan Hil!, west cf Talien Wan. The battle razed in the hills all ;brough the night and fragmentary .eleeram3 from tbe Japanese head? quarters report that the engagement is still in progress, and that the Jap? anese are still pursuing the Russians ?iouth from Nanshan and the head of Talien Wan Bay. The Russians bad made elaborate preparations to check the Japanese movement south on the Liao Tung peninsula toward Port Arthur. They had fortified the high ground on the south shore of-Talien Wan Bay, then works extending to the east and the west. The extreme Russian right was rt Hushangtao and the extreme lt ft at Na ^au Hill. This bill was the Etre est part of the Une : a series of kai nes, strongly emplaced. crowded the crest, while rifle pits extended rround its sides. Mines had been palced lower down on this hill, and around the base on the northern and eastern sides were streched well-made wire entanglements. Another line of cefencep. also protected with wire en? tanglements, extended from Yen Chia Tung, near the bead of Talien Wan Hay, due north of Liuchia Tien, which lies south of Kin Chou. A strong Russian battery was post? ed at Kin Chou. It consist.fl of in f miry and artillery. The Japanese first occupied the linc of hills to the east of Kin Oben. Their position had formed an clmost perfect right ansrle, showing its southern front tu Talien Wan and its western front to Kin Chou. Chin Lichau village was the apex rf this angle: the extreme right of tl.o J*,pa? tt sse line rested at Chen Cha 3 ien, v hich is almost due north of Chin Li Chan, while the extreme left was a: Cbaitsuho, a village due east of Chin Li Chan. Back of this angle the attacking force assembled in com? plete security. The Russians apparently attempted td draw the Japanese attack last Sat urday, for their batteries opened fire slowly on "the enemy on that day. The Japanese, however, refused to be drawn inpo an attack until the po? sition of the Russians, their guns and their strength had been fully devel? oped. To this end the Japanese began a se ' ries of careful manoeuvres, their offi? cers working their way close enough to the Russiaan position to draw the enemy's fire. . They thus secured frag? ments of shelis for the purposa of ascertaining the calibre of the Russian guns. They discovered that the batte? ries on Nanshan Hill included four howitzers of about 15-centi meters cali? bre, ten old style cannon of between 9 and 15-centimeters calibre, and two quick-firing guns of 12-ceutimeters. The Japanese discovered also a number of large emplacements, bnt they did not learn the number of guns contained therein. These emplace? ments faced to the north and to the east. The guns fired by the Russians de? veloped a range of 8.500 metres. Eight heavy guns, posted on the Russian right in the vicinity of Husanfitao, also were discover 2d and another these reconnoissances was on another strong Russian position developed by hill southwest of Nanshan Hill, where the Russians had a series of shelter trenches. On the shore of Talien Wan Bay, close to the bead of the bay, the Russians had established a series of positions. Here were set up the searchlights which nightly played over the Japanese angle, in the hills to the northwest. . Further reconnoissances developed the fact that west of Lin Chia Tien the Russians had no defences. Extend? ing to the northward fronr Yen Chia Tien, to the west coast of the Liao Tung Peninsula, there were no de? fences whatsoever, except the force posted at Kin Chou. This gap in the defence was a fatal defect in the Rus? sian position, and when it was per? ceived the. Japanese extended their right to the north and eastr envelop? ing Kin Chou, and the Russian ex? treme right. The Japanese left was also extended to Yang Chia Tung, on the shore of Talien Wan Bay, and the ? centre moved forward.' Wednesday morning at half-past five, the Japanese attacked Kin Chou, and for three hours they had an artil? lery duel with the- batteries on Nan? shan Hill. The Russian gunners searched the Japanese lines with their fire but failed to inflict much damage. The battle was resumed at dawn on Thursday. . Three Japanese gunboats then en? tered Kin Chou Bay, and, in co-ope? ration with the artillery on shore, shelled the Russiau positions on Nan? shan Hill. A Russian gunboat in Talien Wan Bay steamed close to the shore and shelled the Japanese fleet. From dawn the batteries on both sides hammered away at each other. At an early hour the Japanese in? fantry moved forward and at twenty minutes past five on Thursday morn? ing they entered Kin Chou, the Rus? sians retiring to the south Th9 fighting continued into Thurs? day night, the Japanese pressing to the south and storming Nanshan Hill. They followed the retreating Russians through the southern hills. The reports received here fail to cover the events on the Russian right. It is probable, however, that the Rus? sians have abandoned these positions. - ? ELOODY AFFAIR AT NANSHAN HILL. Tokio, May 27-5 p. m.-Subsequent reports received here indicate that the storming of Nanshan Hill yesterday was a bloody affair. The Japanese first centred their fire on the Russian batteries, in which wori: they were aided by four gunboats from Kin Chou Bay. They succeeded in silenc? ing many of the enemy's guns. The Russians had constructed a series of trenches around the hill and a terrace, protected by wire entangle? ments and other snch devices. The Japanese made a series of rushes, but they were in vain. The deadly rifle fire and cannon fire of the enemy checked them repeatedly. Fiually, at 3 o'clock in the after? noon, the Japanese reformed and stormed the crest of the hill. The Russians bein to their position dog? gedly, and it was 7 o'clock in the evening before the Japanese finally gained possession of the ridge. WAS RUSSIAN LOSS 12,000? London, May 27-9.15 p. m.-A dispatch to the Central News, from Harbin, says the Japanese losses dur? ing the fighting a Kin Chou are said to be twelve thousand m?n killed. It is said that these figures have been confirmed by an cffijial dispatch. Fighting, it is added, is still going on. TWELVE MILES FROM PORT AR? THUR, London, May 28.-The Tokio cor? respondent of the Daily Telegraph says he learns that the Japanese troops are now within twelve miles of Port Arthur, and that the Russians suffered heavier casualties than the Japanese who have taken guns and other material and a few prisoners. He predicts a further surprise, as j Japan is now increasing her efforts in all directions. The Tokio corres pondent of the Dally Chronicle says that, the Japanese captured ir any guns at Kin Chou. " A COMPLETE BLOCKADE." Tokio, May 27-10 a. m.-Vice Ad? miral Togo lias now established a com? plete blockade around the southern end of the Liao Tung Peninsula. This completely envelopes Port Ar- ? thur from the seaward, and probably j marks the opening of the final invest ment of the town and its fortifications. I GLENN SPRINGS WATER i i For the liyer. !
