SECOSND PART OF WAR RUMORS AS TO LOSS OF LIEGE FORTS ARE FALSE. LONDON, Aug. 12 The military positions at Liege, Belgium, along the Franco-German frontier, where the opposing outposts are in touch and in Alsace where severe engagements be t ween a French invading force and th German defenders recently were fought, are thus explained in a dispatch from the French foreign minister received here this morning - "Rumors regarding the loss of the forts of Liege by the Belgian troops are entirely false. Only small grous of German soldiers entered the town itself under cover of the darkness. All the encircling forts, twelve in number, are ntact. "Small unimportant engagements have occured along the whole line where the French and German armies are facing each other from Belfort opposite the southernmost part of Alsace to Liege in Belgium. In these encounters the French cavalry has maintained its superiority over the German mounted troops while our artillery has been splen didly served. "Our troop have kept the crests and passes of the Vosges mountains and they dominate the heights of Alsace. "The French government indignantly denies that there was any violation of German territory by the French army before the declaration of war." THE GERMANS PLAN TO ATTACK THE FORTS. LONDON, Aug. 12. The corres pondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company at Rome says that a dispatch from Berlin gives an official statement by General Von Stein regarding the siege of Liege.

He says only a small number of Germans were engaged in order to mask the movements of the bulk of the army. The enemy's advance attacking forces, he says, was completely annihilated j and while admitting that the forts' re-j main intact, explains this by saying "The emperor did not wish to sac rifice life unnecessarily, but so soon as the heavy artillery arrives the forts will be taken without the loss of a man." Gen. Von Stein admits that the capture of the forts is a difficult pro blem because of the unfavorable ground about them and further because the population of the town, including the women, shot at the German troops from behind, firing indiscriminately hitting the surgeons and wounded. The Ger man commander concludes witn tne remark that "it must not be forgotten that the Belgian force is numerically superior to ours." MANY RUSSIANS SUFFER UNTOLD HARDSHIPS.
